Rukiya's World: Rompin' Around

I just love this chic and simple black linen romper. It's absolutely perfect for those sizzling summer days when the heat is almost just too much to bear!!!

TRENDSPOTTING: The Trench Coat Dress

This spring you may be wanting a new trench coat as an overcoat. But designers have blended this iconic staple with a basic shirtdress. Voilà - a trench coat dress. The majority of your options are basic tan or black. But I found a few execeptions. My favorite is the Karen Millen dress at ASOS.

From Top Middle clockwise: Tory Burch, Bergdorf Goodman, $350.00; Alexander Wang, Nordstrom, $595.00; Karen Millen, ASOS, $319.53; Maison Martin Margiela, Saks, $1275.00; Lois Lane, Shabby Apple, $79.00; Burberry, $2595.00; BJK Couture, $94.95; Talbots, $139.00; Rachel Roy, Macy's, $52.12.
