Some trends, thankfully, have not returned on the style scene: scrunchies, banana clips and snap-on bracelets to name a few. Remember anklets? They’re something you probably haven’t worn since elementary school, hiding somewhere in the bottom of your jewelry box with your old Lip Smackers. But trends never die forever, and anklet bracelets are on their way back in—or at least Vanessa Hudgens thinks so. She doesn’t seem want to take off the dainty silver anklet she’s been wearing all over the place recently: with nude pumps at the recent Pirates of the Caribbean premiere, atop black suede heels while grabbing a smoothie in L.A., and even while hosting an event at Vegas nightclub Pure in March. And she’s not the only one, Shenae Grimes has been digging the trend too.

We’re not entirely convinced, though it is fun to accessorize those ankles that have been hidden for months under long pants and boots. Plus, as Vanessa showed, they go easily from day to night. Try glamming up your most basic pair of flip-flops with an anklet, or accessorizing your favorite nighttime pumps. What do you think? Is your ankle begging for a little bling-bling or are bracelets meant for our wrists?

White is summer’s most dominant trend. It’s also one of the most intimidating styles to pull off. Will it be too sheer? Will it get stained? How can you pull it off if you’re not a model? This season, one way to go is girly.

Who: Milla Jovovich
What: The premiere of La Conquete at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18
Wear: Custom Prada dress
Le sigh. Yesterday, Milla Jovovich stunned us with her 35-carat diamond ring (we just can’t even…), and now we can’t stop staring at this glistening custom Prada number she wore at Cannes. Fashioned from the line’s graphically tailored fall 2011 collection, the bugle bead-embellished dress pulls together white and nude with a striking red trim and drop-waist belt in the most polished way possible. The deep plunging V-neckline and the polo collar together make for an interesting look that we find appealing for some reason. It’s probably all those beads! Jovovich topped off her look with matching red lipstick and her best Marilyn Monroe ‘do. What do you think of this look?

- Summer can be the best of times, but for our makeup, it can be the worst of times. The best way to avoid the melted-makeup look that’s all too common in the hot, humid heat is to ease up on the liquid foundations and powders. Always using a primer or moisturizer with at least a 15 SPF (ideally use 30 SPF for the summer months), let your face breathe and glow by only applying the lightest and sheerest makeSummer can be the best of times, but for our makeup, it can be the worst of times.

Always using a primer or moisturizer with at least a 15 SPF (ideally use 30 SPF for the summer months), let your face breathe and glow by only applying the lightest and sheerest makeup. When applying eye makeup, whether it’s mascara or liner, be sure to go for waterproof formulas (you never know when you could be caught in a summer thunder storm or take a spontaneous dip in the pool!). And after your day is through, be sure to use oil-free wipes to remove all the sweat, dirt, and oil that’s accumulated on your face during the day. Take a look at some of these summer ready products we guarantee are worth buying:

In case you forgot, there’s another British Kate getting married this summer, except her wedding probably won’t be on TV and we’re not expecting to see the Queen Mother share the dance floor with any commoners. Regardless, it’s an exciting time for the world’s most famous supermodel, and it shows. Kate, giver of only the rarest of interviews, bestowed twenty minutes on the Telegraph from the Ritz in Paris this week, and here’s what we can all add to our teeny tiny fact bank on Miss Moss:
