THE ZOE REPORT: Surf the Chanel
Summer has found me in a blissful paradise at a vacation home in Malibu and I could not be more thankful for the downtime. I am loving every minute that I get to spend quality moments with Rodger, soak up the sun and watch the seasoned surfers hit the tide under a cloudless sky…heaven. In fact, the only thing that could make the whole scenario more picturesque is if all of the surfers were in-hand with a Chanel Surfboard. Talk about dream scenario.
Crowd-Sourcing Style Sites Slowly Replace Personal Taste
Constructive criticism is equally as important as personal taste, especially when, for example, you’re trying to figure out whether a LBD or a loose shirt over a pair of cinched khaki shorts would be most appropriate for your friend’s gallery opening. But after getting nothing but nods from friends, and your mother telling you, “You’re beautiful on the inside!”, in can be hard to separate truth from fiction. Thanks to the wonderful invention of the internet, an honest opinion is just a photo upload away.
Dakota Fanning Looks Stunning, Refuses To Smile For Mag Covers
Come August, magazine racks across the continent will be graced by the face of actress Dakota Fanning. She has landed two covershoots — one for Canadian publication Flare, and the other for US Marie Clare. But while raking up multiple covers in a single month is something to be proud about, it’s the fact that she worked the cameras with her stunning looks that’s making her a winner in our eyes. But why so serious?
Which Of Orlando’s Signature Poses Will He Use For Boss Ads?
When Hugo Boss signed Orlando Bloom as the face of their Orange fragrance, the company basically revalidated a fact that everyone and their mother knows: the actor struck gold in the genetic lottery. The challenge with being beautiful is that you have an artillery of looks to fire at the camera, but Bloom needs to strike a pose that will best project the lax finesse of the signature Boss Orange man.

PHOTOS: 6 Of Fashion’s Most Liberating Movements
On the anniversary of American history’s finest milestone, we can’t help but remind ourselves of a privilege — context depending, of course — we often take for granted: freedom. While we sip our Diet Cokes, listen to our Last.fm players, and write fashion-related pieces for this very site, we are walking the beaten path of fashion’s history of freedom.

But before you slip one on, take a moment to read about the line’s story.
Louis Vuitton Jumps On The Temporary Tattoo Bandwagon

The Zoe Report: Love Me Knots
Nothing finishes off a look—or creates one—quite like a little summer excessory pick-me-up…or in today’s case, a tie-me-down. That’s right, my latest adornment crush comes in the form of a gorgeous hand-knotted headband by Jennifer Behr. It is just what your summer outfit ordered.
Men’s Fashion Embraces The Hungarian Moustache
Designers Yohji Yamamoto, Junya Watanabe, and Jean Paul Gaultier were seeing the world in sepia tone for inspiration for their Spring 2011 menswear collection — but why the digression from reality? Were they fantasizing about tales of the vagrants penned by Western authors like Owen Wister and Zane Grey, or were they thinking of hypothetical situations at an eighteenth century gentlemen’s club after-party? Between you and me, we think it’s all of the above.
Ed Westwick Wears Banana Hammocks
We’re not going to lie, there is something alluring about Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick’s piercing eyes and brooding grin. If he were to ask one of the Styleite ladies out for a nice drink at some Manhattan hotel bar, we wouldn’t pass the chance – well, up until we read his interview with MTV Style, in which he confesses his personal affinity for wearing banana hammocks as his choice in swim wear.

Silly Bandz, And A Brief History Of Celebrity Mom Trends
We’d heard these things called Silly Bandz were all the rage, but until we stumbled upon US Magazine’s blurb on the growing craze of Silly Bandz among celebrities like alpha mom Sarah Jessica Parker — who wore a lime green one in the shape of who-knows-what — we had no idea how big they really were. And we’re all familiar with the domino effect that stems from a little bit of subliminal trend endorsements by celebrity moms.
Why Athletes Should Not Design Their Own Clothing
Venus Williams looked pretty good on the grass at Wimbledon yesterday. But it’s our bet that she would have looked better if she’d let someone else design her dress.
Terry Richardson Makes A Mysterious Comeback In W Mag
Photographer Terry Richardson is one of fashion’s most provocative players and it’s no wonder why the constant controversies surrounding him make the 44-year-old no stranger to our newsfeed. This time, he returns to W magazine after his rumored 14-year ban from the publication with a surprisingly tasteful 17-shot editorial for the July 2010 issue — which just so happens to be the premiere issue for new editor-in-chief Stefano Tonchi.
