I've been thinking about the Bling Ring a lot lately, not just because it comes out on Friday or because it marries two of my favorite things (Sofia Coppola and awkward, early '00s fashion). It's just that I can't get over the notion that these kids actually thought that stealing from Hollywood's biggest names was somehow a good idea. It's completely nonsensical-but then again, so is the fact that some of the people on those kids' hit list have actually been caught or accused of stealing themselves, too.

And these celebrities: even when they have loads of money to buy all the Balenciaga totes and Tom Ford sunglasses they could ever want, they stole (or were accused of stealing) the strangest things, like fancy socks and super-cheap hairnets. What gives?

It's easy to be intimidated by supermodel Miranda Kerr: she's ridiculously gorgeous, has an equally attractive superstar hubby (Orlando Bloom, anyone?) and has managed to walk the fine line between runway model and swimsuit mannequin with ease. But from the second I set foot in her suite at New York's Carlyle Hotel for our interview, the brunette beauty immediately put me at ease.

"Sorry, just one second!" she apologized, heading for an impressive-looking lunch spread as I settled onto a couch. "I need some more of these yams!" After a few bites, she kicked off her coral Lanvin pumps and unzipped part of the back of her jewel-printed white minidress ("Camilla and Marc-they're Australian designers," she explained with pride). "Ah, that's better," she told me, sitting down beside me. "Look at us-all cozy at the Carlyle!"

In fact, Miranda places a surprisingly high premium on comfort, considering her line of work. Asked about

Versatile, practical and still chic: We love a menswear-inspired watch. Go all-out tomboy and wear one with slouchy jeans and a button-down, or use it to balance a flirty dress and heels. And there's no need to wear a watch solo, either. Laddered with wooden bangles or friendship bracelets or even worn two at a time, it's the perfect statement piece that never feels overpowering, adds just the right amount of sparkle and goes with seriously everything.

After taking a super-giant leap and investing in a pair of leather pants this past winter, the absolute last thing I want to do is stash them away this season. It just makes me too sad to think of them stuffed into the back of my closet, nestled for months between my cumbersome coats and fuzzy sweaters.

So, it's not happening. Instead, this season I'm summer-izing my leather skinny pants with breezy, warm-weather staples in soft neutrals. The lighter pieces soften up the tough-girl pants and, of course, eliminate any chance of overheating. Check out the look below for an outfit perfect for summer dinners, rooftop bars or simply for when you get tired of your flowy printed dresses (it happens!).

Modern Bride/Thomas IannacconeSo let's say you wake up this morning, spontaneously buy a lottery ticket and win several thousand dollars. How ever will you spend it all? On a resort vacation? The perfect spring wardrobe? Or, perhaps, on a giant bottle of Chanel N°5?

If you think the last option sounds a little crazy, you're not alone: ever since the brand released the 30-ounce "Grand Extrait" size of its iconic fragrance, people have been debating its value. From a logical standpoint, there isn't much. Smell fades from perfume after a few years; that's just long enough for one person to use up a standard one-ounce bottle. So even those with Marilyn Monroe-like devotion to the scent would be hard pressed to use up all that gold-colored liquid in such a short span of time. Forget about just wearing it to bed--one would have to bathe in the stuff to get through it.

WWD/George Chinsee Fans of Rihanna's first capsule for UK high street brand River Island, which included unzipped-up-to-there maxi skirts, crop tops and utilitarian onesies, will be psyched to learn that the collection is coming back for another round. Rihanna for River Island's summer collection drops May 25, and impatient RiRi fans can get a sneak peek at the goods to come in the video, which shows the star and designer Adam Selman tweaking the pieces during a fitting.

While the slinky, clingy silhouettes and midriff-baring cuts Rihanna's first collab contained aren't going anywhere, it looks like the summer range will contain far more prints. The songstress insists that her muted florals are more "gangsta" than "chic," extols the virtues of a tie-dyed jumpsuit and curiously claims that she wanted to make "clothes for fat days." Personally, we're not about to slip into a completely sheer macramé crop top when we're feeling heavier than usual, but

courtesy of Apiece Apart The other day, my mom gasped when I told her I planned to wear a crop top to my cousin's engagement party. She was clearly having flashbacks to my adolescent, belly button-bearing days. But I assured her that this time around, abbreviated tops are actually quite sophisticated. For those still not convinced, don't fear, this trend is easier to pull off than you may think.

It all comes down to fit and proportion. Start by thinking of an A-line dress--there's a reason that shape is so popular. Channel that silhouette by revealing just a hint of the upper waist, meaning the ribcage area. Luckily, for most women, that is the most flattering, slimmest part of the midsection since it hides the tummy (read: no extra crunches or skipping dessert!). Then balance it out with something high-waisted, whether it be a skirt, shorts or pants. Fit is also key. While festival crop tops tend to be flimsy and a bit boho, structured or fitted
