Celebs try to get away with some unusual trends in the summer. Thigh-high suede boots, for example, are incredibly popular with a certain set. this week overalls are making a mild comeback, though honestly I feel like some celeb or another gets the nifty idea to wear overalls in public every six months or so. then a smattering of other celebs try it, and we have to give major thought to the trendiness of overalls, at least biannually. but rest easy; there’s no need to run out and purchase a pair. celebrities can get away with anything. The rest of us are mere mortals.

Here’s Rihanna leaving Colette in Paris with her silver Dior Diorama Bag. Ri-Ri loves those big, statement-making fur wraps. fun fact: this popular Parisian “concept store” includes a “water bar” that serves over 100 different types of bottled water. in some cases truth is stranger than fiction.
