This wool hat looks like something a pixie would wear. Love.

The Sartorialist took this street-style photo of two cuties riding bikes in Paris, but isn't that Adrian Grenier? (The Sartorialist's 333 comments seemed to think so.) My mom loves Entourage and always says Vince is "unflappable."

Today's giveaway is from Marais USA, the adorable shoe collection. They're offering these white oxfords, which would be perfect for chilly walks and dinners with friends this fall. (The winner can choose her size, of course.)

Not that I need a wedding dress these days, but I'm in love with this Lela Rose gown, especially the graceful twisted straps. Isn't it beautiful?

P.S. She also has pretty bridesmaids dresses.

(Thanks, Simple Pretty)
