A wise woman once said, "Sometimes, geeks can be chic." That woman is Anna Wintour, and naturally, she's right. That's why we've done the hard work of culling 11 of our favorite nerdy frames. Of course, we're not expecting Clark Kent/Superman results when we toss on a pair, but there's just something about thick-rimmed specs that changes up our everyday look. Whether you're looking for an investment piece that makes a statement or just a pair that you can throw on when you don't have time for makeup, we've got 'em all in the slideshow ahead.

A to-die-for first look at the @MADMuseum costume jewelry exhibit, sponsored by @MiriamHaskellNY:

When Eva Chen was named as Lucky‘s new editor in chief yesterday, the news was met with general approval and excitement across the board. But as always, there have been skeptics questioning her young age and use of social media. Here’s why we think they’re wrong.

Cardigan – Banana Republic (no longer available) – similar Dress – Joe Fresh for JCP (no longer available) – VERY similar Boots – ECCO Sculptured 65 courtesy ECCO Necklace – Marimekko via Skändal - also here Bag - courtesy Ellington Handbags Earrings – Target (no longer available) – similar  Have I mentioned the rain? The seemingly endless string of rainy days we’ve had here over the past weeks? I wear my tall boots year round regardless, but on a day like this when there were only a few bright spots between downpours and the temps never climbed above 60, light colored boots are an ideal choice. (Gracey is gonna back me up on this one, I know it!) Summer footwear is an emotional subject and I know loads of you adore the feeling of sandals … but anyone else out there a fan of boots for summer? I’m thinking some of you Pacific Northwest folks might feel me on this one. And you Brits, as I hear it’s still cold and rainy across the pond, too! **Disclosure: Actions you take from the hyperlinks within this blog post may yield commissions for alreadypretty.com.

In case you have not noticed (or you've been living under a very large rock), everyone is wearing Isabel Marant and it's time you owned an item. Look no further than mom-about-town, Katie Holmes, for the ideal summer tunic and fun city kicks. Katie, who seems to be filling her mom duties in NYC like a pro, stepped out wearing an Isabel Marant Etoile Pleated Tunic Dress. The bad news? It is currently unavailable. The good news? Like all good things, this will be back online in no time. May we suggest you set a reminder? And don't forget to snag her comfy Superga Cotu Classic Sneaker, Navy ($43) that can replace your worn-out converses (or your wedge sneakers you've been living in for the past few months).

Shop more must-have star style such as Khloe Kardashian’s white dress, Ashley Green’s maxi dress, Diane Kruger’s overalls, and Reese Witherspoon’s orange dress.

Back in the spring, we swooned over the Virgin Suicides-inspired spring '13 For Love & Lemons collection. But, just when we got to thinking that the L.A.-based brand couldn't have done it any better, they go and up the ante. Starring the queen of Rainbow Brite hair herself, Chloe Norgaard, the brand's Fourth of July capsule collection lookbook ditches the Coppola shtick for a more grungy, Wet Hot American Summer vibe, and trust, it's a goodie. Boasting everything from perfect, white summer dresses and halter tops to a plastic pink flamingo (as good an accessory as any!), the free-spirited spread has us jonsing for fireworks and backyard BBQs. Plus, the clothes look seriously rad paired with Norgaard's current Lemon-Lime Gatorade tresses. Ahead, our favorite looks. Long live summer! Photos: Courtesy of For Love & Lemons.

The post Hot! or Hmm…: First Lady Michelle Obama’s Charlottenburg Palace Dinner Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013 Wave-Patterned Jacquard Dress appeared first on The Fashion Bomb Blog : Celebrity Fashion, Fashion News, What To Wear, Runway Show Reviews.First Lady Michelle Obama arrived alongside her husband, President Barack Obama, at the Charlottenburg Palace Dinner in Berlin, Germany earlier this evening. For the occasion, she opted for a Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013 Wave-Patterned Jacquard Dress. Get a closer look at the frock below. I’m a little bit torn about the bows on the dress. On one hand, I love the extra splash of style it adds to the look, but on the other hand, I feel as if something is slightly askew with the finished product. Either way, she looks pretty darn good.
