My recent fantasies have been of the lame and tame variety:  sleeping in on weekends, eating as many Dairy Milk bars as I want without gaining an ounce and perfect, bouncy hair when I roll out of bed.  I used to be much cooler.  I used to fantastize about being a rockstar, complete with groupies, paparazzi-infested waters around my private yacht and all-nighters poppin' Cristal.  For reals.  Isabel Marant has inspired me to at least dress the part of the über-cool rocker babe by pairing a striped sweater with cropped skinnies, pointy pumps and silver accents.  It's the perfect go-to outfit for the morning after trashing your hotel suite...or rolling out of bed after your toddler's kept you up all night, with those five extra pounds hanging on for dear life and a wicked case of bed-head.  Real Life Runway Tip:  This look will go for miles in your wardrobe since each piece is a stand-alone star.  The rugby-striped sweater is weekend-ready when paired with leggings and flat boots and if you can't wait for this one from Aritzia (it's not in stores until November), I saw a super similar version at Jacob this week.   The key to making this outfit really sing is all about the sparkle.  Dangly earrings, a cool silver belt and a little shine on your wrist will take you from back-up singer to solo artist without missing a drumbeat.
