Next Stop: The Interview of Her Career

As Paris Hilton took her first step out of her SUV to head into the Larry King studios, the flashbulbs went into overdrive trying to capture the first photographs of Paris before beginning her much-hyped interview with Larry King on CNN on June 27. Wearing a demure lace-embellished dress (Walter’s Antique Lace Combo Dress has similar lace detailing) with oversized white sunglasses, Paris kept the makeup to a minimum, and even left her notorious blue contacts at home! This is definitely the interview that everyone is going to want to see, what happened to Paris in jail straight from the horse’s mouth! So far, we know that Paris has told Larry how she appreciates the simplest things so much more now, such as being able to look up and see the sky or the stars. She dished on how she was truly shocked at how she was sentenced to jail for what was basically a traffic violation (because, remember, she was imprisoned for driving on a suspended license, not for her DUI) and how the prison food was absolutely disgusting (well obviously it’s no Mr. Chows!). Paris went on to say that she has never been addicted to drugs, and that she is not really even that big of a drinker. This might just be me, but Paris did seem rather sincere in her answers- is this woman the Paris of tomorrow?

Style Tip: The Summer Scarf

The trend you thought was limping toward the land of embellished denim heaven (RIP lil boot cut guys) is staging a final coupe de etat with a boost from summer's hot, hot, heat. Yes, the soaring temps are keeping the eclectic lightweight scarf around for a whole 'nother season. So dust off your token printed gauzy/muslin/linen scarf (the one seen on everyone from Kanye to Angelina) because here's why:

Borrowed from Southeast Asia, these hand-woven lightweight scarves pull heat and moisture away from the body, keeping you cool on a balmy summer's day. For the fair-skinned among us, a knot at the neck keeps your décolletage from getting pink and saves the delicate skin from future wrinkles. So go ahead, sport that a barely-there tank because the scarf has got you covered.
