Shanna & the Hippie-Chic Look

James tells us how to transition a favorite summer look into fall.

Trend alert: The long hippie dress!

We have seen it all summer on celebs like Nicole Ritchie, Kate Hudson, and Ashlee Simpson. It grazes the ankles, comes in a million different prints and looks great on young girls. But jut because summer is over do you have to pack it away? This style stalker says no way! I am here to break the rules and help stretch your dollar a little further!!! Here's how you take it into fall!

• Step 1: Lose the flat gladiator sandals and put a boot with a chunky heel with it.
• Step 2: Find a cute shrunken cardigan or a denim jacket and throw it on top.
• Step 3: Change your bag. Lose the straw bag and put it with a leather oversize bag with a fringe detail.

And presto: instant autumn hippie chick.

One caveat: I'm a big believer in the democratization of fashion. Every trend for everyone is my motto, but in this case...not so much. This look is best for the young 'uns.

Don't fret though, there is something for everyone out there. That's why I'm here!
