We asked: Are Dungaree Dresses In or Out?
You said: Out. The breakdown? 56% voted "Out", and another 12% voted "On the Way Out." A sizeable 32% minority, however, are willing to give this trend the benefit of a doubt.
Omiru’s take: Dungaree dresses are cute in a 60s-tastic way, and their youthful insouciance can liven up any outfit. However, these dungaree dresses appear to be a niche trend.
Next Question: The Color White might as well be the New Black (or wait, was that [insert flavor of the week here]). Despite the wearability problems (Warning: Stains Incoming!), we’ve seen the color all over Fashion Week…and now, all over the fashion media, including Lucky’s July cover. Tell us, what do you Really

Think barrettes, like Trix, are for kids? Think again. Jules Sherman is turning stereotypes about barrettes upside down with her new line of micro-injected PVC hair barrettes, which are flexible, comfortable to wear and water (and chlorine!) proof.
Sherman, an industrial designer by trade, is inspired by historical and modern design patterns and color combinations. Her carefully chosen patterns are fun enough for kids, yet grown-up enough for you.

The Look: The wifebeater paired with the denim miniskirt bleeds (Southern) California casual chic, but the black belt worn at the waist adds an element of sophistication to the ensemble.
Your Version: Equally laid-back, with a punch of color: Colored tank + Black Leather Belt + Denim Miniskirt.
