Get the look: Whitney Port

Whitney Port, NYC.

Whitney Port has such great street style; she mixes up boho and rock chick pieces to stand out as the most fashion forward of The Hills girls. Even though she is a designer girl, she doesn’t look like she’s tried too hard, which gets a thumbs up in my book.

I particularly like this picture of Whitney walking around the streets of New York. I love the contrast of the vibrant red skirt, blue checked shirt and short, gaping biker boots. She’s gone a little Daisy Duke by knotting her checked shirt at the front but brace yourselves ladies showing off the midrift is back.

Here’s the cheats way of creating the same look:

Summer's Bold Bikinis Make Waves

The ruffle bikini made an appearance in Malibu and Miami this past weekend. 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord sported a hot-pink number, while Whitney Port showed off her enviably long and lean frame in a more subdued, ruffle-trim bikini. The style is said to flatter women with smaller busts, creating the illusion of a more voluptuous silhouette. The key to making this trend work is to keep the fluttery details to a minimum, à la Whitney. What do you think of this frilly trend in swimwear?
