Break out the pastels, it’s almost Easter weekend! With family reunions and brunch outings on the horizon (or break-the-fast parties for those who celebrate Passover), all the pending familial activity begs one question: What should you wear? Dainty pastels are on our radar, like this sky blue lace dress from Alice + Olivia ($396; aliceandolivia.com for stores) and soft aqua silk dress from Elie Tahari ($268; elietahari.com for stores). Another option is something a bit more bold, like this coral Yoana Baraschi dress ($498; yoanabaraschi.com for stores); a darker floral, like this silk one from Borne by Elise Berger ($260 at theoutnet.com), pays homage to the holiday’s more somber side while remaining feminine and pretty.

Pippa Middleton’s Black-and-White Outfit: Where to Buy It

Oct 2, 2012 @ 12:19 pm

After ushering in the fall season with her astounding collection of jeans, Pippa Middleton stuck by her standby denims when she stepped out for a London shopping excursion this weekend. Opting for a black-and-white look—the color-combo now dominating the runways—the royal-in-law donned a pair of Goldsign Misfit slim leg jeans (get them for $218 at saksfifthavenue.com), which she topped with a striped Alice + Olivia Shellen Mock Collar sweater (nab one for $275 at shopbop.com) and Kate Spade New York’s Post Street Little Nadine bag (find it for $428 at katespade.com). Alice + Olivia creative director Stacey Bendet Instagrammed a photo of Pippa in the sweater, adding, ”How cute is Pippa Middleton in our sweater!” Obviously, we agree—who doesn’t love stripes?
