Summer must: the printed skirt

Seriously versatile, printed skirts go to the office paired with blouses and button-downs and hang out on the weekends with tanks and tees. Add one of these must-haves to your wardrobe today!

What was she thinking? Ashley Olsen's vintage caftan
While Ashley never really went the conventional route on the red carpet, she was always a fashionable antidote to her sister's baggy bohemian tendencies. If her recent public appearances are any indication, though, it seems like the twins are now sharing the same sense of style.
Nail art school: Ciate Chalkboard Manicure Nail Set
School may be ending for the summer, but Ciate Chalkboard Manicure Nail Set is ready to teach you a thing or two about nail art. The kit includes a matte black polish (Chalkboard Paint Pot), a mattifying top coat, and four chalk pens in blue, white, pink, and yellow. After applying a base coat and two coats of the matte black polish, allow fifteen minutes for drying. Perfect for a beginner in nail art, the chalk pens are water soluble so that you can remove any mistakes with water. Once you're happy with your nail design, let it sit for five minutes and then seal in the design with a mattifying top coat. The kit is available exclusively at Sephora for $25.

Who wore it best? RVN's geometric jacquard dress
Graphic geometric patterns are a popular, but often complicated look to pull off, even for celebs. This scoop neck knit dress with cap sleeves and an intense blue jacquard print by RVN has bravely been worn by two stars recently. Jessica Szohr selected the statement piece for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's An Evening With Women in Beverly Hills last month. She completed her look with a wrap bracelet and black pumps. Heather Graham was caught in the same bold dress while out in Rio de Janeiro with her fellow The Hangover Part III cast members just last week. She capped off her look with an electric pair of heels.
Those colorful strappy heels Heather sported pretty much secured her win on this occasion. Do you think the actress wore this geometric jacquard dress best or did Jessica impress you more with her look?
