If you've done any shopping lately, you might have noticed that the ultimate french girl accessory is making a serious run at most desired accessory these days, the bandana.  Chic, effortless, and a unique way to add a little bit more flair to your outfit.  My personal favorites are either on your wrist or on a bag (which I have done religiously on my work bag for years).  But in the event that you are in the market for other options, I found this gem on the JCrew blog, which I adore and make wearing a scarf as easy as 1-2-3.

Best accompanied by a very strong cup of coffee.

This fall you'll see roses slowly but surely overtaking the prevalence of peonies in floral prints.   Kate Spade's newest release is full of these lovelies and you'll even see a few pieces in JCrew's forth coming seasons with these blooms gracing their stores.  Are you ready for the change? Will you be stopping to smell the roses this fall?

For those in South America, the idea of engagement rings for men is not a new or different idea.  In fact, American celebrities, such as Michael Buble, have worn engagement rings as of late.  (He was engaged to an Argentinian).  However, this trend seems to be traveling north into the States and across the pond into Europe.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think that men encroaching on my territory is a little unnecessary.  I think that engagement rings should be solely for women.  I love the tradition behind it and I think that it is a special tradition that should be upheld.  I, personally, hope this trend doesn't catch on, but hey, stranger things have happened.

What are your thoughts? Do engagement rings solely belong to the women or should we be more open to equal opportunity when it comes to engagement jewelry?

Plaid got a bad rap in the flannel years of the 90s, but I'm happy that it has made a resurgence in a repackaged perfectly preppy package.  Love love love.
