Cannes Street Style
We all know the streets of France are filled with stylish streetwalkers all year ’round, but when the Cannes Film Festival annually comes to town in Cannes, France, we get to see the chicest of the chic strutting their stuff! With Hollywood A-listers, bloggers, producers, and “It” style mavens flocking about this seaside town, we are loving the glimpse into the daily fashions of these trendy townies.
We spotted bold hues and plenty of Chanel bags and accessories, and are loving the variety of blues being represented for a town by the sea. While these looks are less dramatic then those spotted during fashion week, we love the trendy simplicity and edge that each outfit has, and can see ourselves rocking any of these looks. Which street style is your favorite?
Pretty in Pink!
Pink is undoubtedly one of the most flirty and feminine colors and is always a must for spring, and we are obsessed with Marina Monroe and Olga Valentina’s “Pretty in Pink” photoshoot in Venice. Here’s a sneak peak inside their looks, filled with Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Camilla and Marc, and of course — vintage jewelry!

Foodie Friday: Stefan’s at LA Farm
Stefan Richter, a finalist on season 5 of Top Chef, has turned an old office courtyard in Santa Monica into a restaurant where the decor reflects the food exactly: comfortable and classic but with a creative and delightful twist. With an enclosed patio space, modern sleek fire pits around leather booths, vines covering the walls, and a blend of classic tunes from the 70′s, 80′s, and present, the atmosphere is welcoming with just the right amount of a modern touch. Being a finalist on Top Chef, everything on the menu is innovative, delicious, and definitely worth trying, which is why we’re sure to be frequent visitors.
While everything looks amazing, we love the spicy tuna tartare with the spicy thai dressing (it’s less spicy than it sounds,) and the crispy scallops in pumpkin seed oil with a sweet corn puree is simply mouthwatering. If you’re not a seafood lover, don’t worry: there are all sorts of American classics, including mini corndogs, turkey burgers, acorn squash ravioli, and sausage risotto. The open fire pits are perfect for lounging, enjoying a cocktail, and most importantly— getting your s’more on! How rustic chic is that?!
For an intimate yet upbeat setting, we paired this neon green leather top with bright orange skinny jeans and crystal sandals to compliment. Since the vibe is laid back but still trendy, we love that this outfit encompasses all of those elements, and the crystal and coral earrings add the perfect amount of glam to the look!

Go Ahead, Get Messy This Summer!
Embrace that messy hair!
Summer is the perfect time to get carelessly-chic. All that concert-going, beach hopping, and pool-partying is probably doing wonders for your summer style already with sun-kissed skin, sexy beach hair, and summery party outfits. While it’s easier to throw on a pair of cutoff jean shorts and a cropped top, doing your hair can be the trickiest part about those warm summer nights. What to do with that hair? We say, well, nothing!
This season it’s all about loose lively hair that blows effortlessly in the breeze. You already knew we loved sexy beach hair waves, but the style doesn’t stop there! Giant floral headbands, silk scarves, and unique braids have us gazing at this seasons top trending hairstyles in awe. Sometimes big, crazy, rocker-hair is just what you need to shake out an amped up summer statement, so remember to adorn your hair accordingly!
Throwback Thursday: The Oldest Jet-Setter in the Book!
Hats off to Louis Vuitton! The fashion house was founded in the year 1854 and hasn’t skipped a beat since!
Louis Vuitton is one of the world’s leading international fashion houses and has been named the world’s most valuable luxury brand 6 consecutive years in a row, with its value at 25.9 billion dollars in 2012. Since the 19th century, the construction of Louis Vuitton goods haven’t changed one bit: Luggage is still made by hand, the wooden frames of each trunk are made of 30-year-old poplar that has been allowed to dry for at least four years. Each trunk has a serial number and can take up to 60 hours to make, while a single suitcase can take as many as 15 hours to complete.
Without a doubt, the most stylish women in the world have Louis Vuitton in their closet. The name not only speaks of quality and luxury, but also its ability to withstand the test of time after 159 years, and that quite a cause for celebration!

May is Melanoma Awareness Month. . . do you know what your moles are up to?
It’s always a good time to start doing self skin examinations and to make an appointment with a dermatologist to have a full body skin examination. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer in adults aged 25-29 years old and the second most common form of cancer for young people 15-29 years old. The detection of melanoma is increasing in younger people, especially females, likely due to tanning behaviors, particularly tanning bed use. Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer and it is estimated that up to 10,000 people will die of melanoma in 2013. Please see a full list of skin cancer information and statistics athttp://www.skincancer.org/
Certain people are at higher risk for developing melanoma. You may fall into this category if you:
- have a personal or family history of melanoma or atypical (dysplastic) moles
- have multiple moles (over 50) including on non-sun-exposed areas of the body such as the buttocks, palms, or soles of feet
- have multiple moles (over 50) including on non-sun-exposed areas of the body such as the buttocks, palms, or soles of feet
- have atypical moles – many moles that are multicolored or irregularly shaped
- have fair skin (burn easily), light colored eyes, and/or light hair such as blond or red
- have had a severe sunburn at least once in your life
- have excessive UV exposure including frequent tanning, tanning bed use, living at a high elevation, living in a warm, sunny climate
When you do a self skin examination, remember to check for the ABCDE’s:
A – asymmetry – the mole is no symmetrical in shape or color
B – border – the mole does not have a smooth, even border
C – color – the mole have uneven colors, multiple or unusual colors such as black, red, or blue/gray)
D – diameter – the size of the mole has enlarged to over 6mm in diameter (the size of a pencil eraser)
E – evolution – the mole is changing in size, shape, or color
Bring any of these findings to the attention of your dermatologist immediately. If a melanoma is detected early, it can be curable. I recommend yearly skin examinations by a dermatologist, possibly with full body photography to observe your moles for changes. It can save your life!
Bohemian Booties: The Cobra Society
Jennifer Lawrence
Ali Larter
The Cobra Society has been all over the celebrity circuit; modeled by Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain to name a few, these beautiful and unique hand-stitched shoes and purses are hot for spring and fall! stylehaüs will be hosting the Minneapolis-based designer Alex Davis to come meet some of our clients and frequent shoppers on Saturday, May 18th from 12-5 pm, and we will be carrying the shoes through the weekend; these boots, flats, and espadrilles are definitely a must-have for all year round!
While the brand’s bohemian, leather signature shoes are still prominent for the fall collection, Davis emphasizes a more pared-down and refined look for everyday wear, and has added amazing leather and stitched totes to the collection! “The images are representative of a new direction for us,” said the label’s creative director and founder Alex Davis. “People don’t buy our boots often because they’re afraid – they’re quite bold. So what we wanted to do was show the public how to wear them. In previous lookbooks, we’ve had models wearing the boots in rural settings, while rolling around with a snake. These images were shot in a city and they leave less to the imagination. I want people to be able to visualize how to wear them.”
The latest collection features boots covered in Moroccan embroidery and others embellished with bronze gun bullets, in addition to an expanded line of bags and we could not be more excited! These chic boots and flats are sure to set your shoe game apart from the rest, so come shop for them at stylehaüs at The Grove this weekend!

A Printed Summer
Tory Burch

Mara Hoffman
It’s no secret that prints are everywhere for spring and summer, and we love the versatility and variety of prints that are hitting the streets on shorts! Designers such as Tory Burch and Mara Hoffman were no stranger to sending fleets of models down the runway rocking fabulous prints at their spring shows, and the looks have been getting us excited about this warm weather. From florals, to stripes, polka dots, and zig zags, printed shorts are making a statement for summer!
Pair with a simple tshirt, blouse, or jacket, or play with colors and patterns for a wild mix-and-match look. As long as you keep the colors in the same family, you’re sure to stay in style!

Get Worldly Chic this Summer!
Etro SS 2013
Put some ethnic, worldly pizzazz in your look! All this hot summer breeze has been enough to get us thinking ahead of ourselves too, plotting that jet-set-escape from the norm and into worlds unknown! But no matter how bad you’re urging to cab it to the airport and buy a one-way ticket to anywhere, you can certainly get a little worldly ‘in your own backyard’ and still stick around to show up for work on Monday morning.
Etro SS 2013
Kenzo SS 2013
Kenzo SS 2013
Missoni SS 2013
Missoni Resort 2013
On the spring and summer runways, designers like Etro, Missoni, and Kenzo displayed inspiration from some of the most cultured nooks of the world. Their play on colors, prints, style, and outfit construction awoke our fashion palates with foreign spice and unfamiliar (yet inviting) style inspiration. If you feel like Aztec prints are a bit too reminiscent of the 90’s, try another corner of the world, like a busy paisley print inspired by India’s traditional fabric designs, or something more colorful and abstract from Africa’s roots.
This dash of international flair is definitely sexy and chic for these hot summer months ahead, and since we encourage sporadic globe trotting over actually sticking around for Mondays rush hour traffic, we’re happy to take the call of blame for your absence all in the name of fashion, style, and world travel!
