Style inspiration: the kimono

Confession: ever since I saw Heartfire in that second episode of Arrested Development season 4, kimono-style jackets and tops have kind of been growing on me. This one from Zara is absolutely gorgeous.

I love the way it's styled, too. It makes what may be sort of a hard to pull off item casual and perfect for summer.

Trend: Rash guards

Trina Turk Avalon Rash Guard

I don't know. I sure haven't ever had anything against them, but rash guards have never really turned my head.

But: I think they've become a thing. (And I love it. And not just because we can't rely on just sunscreen anymore.)

Have you seen J.Crew's collaboration with Pret-a-Surf? Totally adorable. And it features--you guessed it--(chic) rash guards.

Love it.

...and front!

And then regular J.Crew has them too. And they're wonderful. 

I hope to snap up one of these babies on sale! I hope this style is here to stay.
