BOOK BIT

Carrie-d away

Through the years, we've grown to idolize Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. With the end of the SATC saga, what stylish reads can we turn to for summer days at the beach? Candace Bushnell, author of SATC, brings you Summer and the City, a Carrie Diaries novel. Get lost discovering summer in New York City and how the BFFs came to be the glamourous women we adore. Thank goodness we don't have to say goodbye to them just yet.

FASHION

Amazing lace

Kate Middleton got props for wearing Carrickmacross English lace on her McQueen sleeves when she walked through Westminster Abbey in April. But the delicate fabric — once reserved for big-day dresses and French lingerie — is now also showing up in the form of picnic-perfect sundresses, drapey tees and even bomber jackets. Rock two trends in a Theory summer maxi dress and Aqua lace tee (Bloomingdale's). Cream and brown pumps by Blondo (ShoeFly) and gold earrings (Sassanova).

ON THE STYLE SCENE

Shore thing

Whether you intend to frolic in the surf at Rehoboth, wiggle your toes in the sand at Ocean City or hit the tar beach of your apartment roof, making the most of the day requires preparation. Call it a pareo or a sarong. However you refer to it, two possible ways to wear this Roberta Roller Rabbit all-cotton beach wrap are to tie it around your midriff as a skirt or drape it around your neck to make a halter dress. Either can take you from seaside to beside the bar.
