    ah yes, this is making me excited for my 4th of july outfit! (although i'll be in paris over the 4th so it won't be quite the same)!

    I think it's interesting that Chanel does so much with the stars & stripes yet is a French label.

    First off, LOVED your interview at Under the Sheets. I felt myself nodding throughout in agreement. I share your love for skinny jeans and think you're right on about east coast vs. west coast style. :) I'm loving the first pic here.. and now want a body con red and white stripe mini! I kept staring at that pic because she's so well styled!
