You know those paintings where the girl is sitting on a dock looking into a summer sunset wearing ethereal dreamy frocks, hair blowing in the wind. And while you stare at the artwork wearing your favorite Gap T-shirt you might be dreaming of escaping right in there. But a summer cottage getaway might not be in the cards just yet (and if it is, all the more reason to keep reading on) so at least start with the clothes.
Oska, the European label behind some of the most unique designs, can take you to a far away place, or at least make you look like you belong there. The casual and earthy clothes feature asymmetrical cuts, natural fibers (linens and cottons), a loose fit, with chunky carved wooden accessories to match.
OskaAsian influences abound in the line that also offers a Danish flare. Comfortable enough for weekend wear, but detailed enough for the office (try the linen jacket), the line is ageless, suited for all body types, and designed to be different.

Eau de Khloe?
A second Kardashian sister will debut a new scent, targeted to both men and women.
The fragrance, which Khloe’s working on with her husband, Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers, will be a unisex scent, according to WWD.com.
Lighthouse Beauty, which created Kim’s perfume, has confirmed that it also will be developing the fragrance for Khloe and her NBA champion hubby.
The new scent may be named "Unbreakable," Khloe Kardashian told WWD, though she added, "Baby, I dunno, we’re still working on it."
Odom is brand ambassador for the Ultimate Tough G-Shock watch.
The moniker of the fragrance is still up in the air, a Lighthouse spokesman said, as is the aroma of the new fragrance.
With two of the famous sisters now in the perfume biz, could Kourtney be the next sib to get a fragrance of her own? She and Kim tried making homemade perfume as kids.
Interviewed last fall, Kim Kardashian said: "When I was little, my sister Kourtney and I tried to make our own perfume by picking flowers and putting them in the blender, because that’s how we thought fragrances were made. It smelled totally gross."

Dressing your child up in shirt and tie, velvet and lace, a snappy vest or a stiff dress, holiday outfits precious and perfect, may be your dream for family outings, but will your child go along? Some kids love dress-up, but others will dig in and refuse to wear anything that's uncomfortable, unusual, or outside the realm of safe fabrics, colors and styles. Instead of putting them down as naughty, be a little nice by accommodating your children's particular clothing preferences. Be creative with color If your child doesn't go for formalwear, try to make the casual look a little more festive by choosing holiday colors. Deck your child in red and green and she'll look dressed for the occasion no matter what she's wearing. You can go for all one hue or mix and match. For a little extra fun, let your child wear one red sock and one green sock. Dress all alike Matching family outfits can be incredibly corny, but they also have the virtue of making something that wouldn't seem dressed up on its own look like part of a plan. Matching holiday shirts, worn with whatever pants, skirt, sweats, leggings or whatever each individual prefers, may be all it takes to pull your look together. Try sweatshirts, flannel shirts, polar fleece or turtlenecks. You can vary either the style or the color, or vary patterns and solid coordinating colors. Do some undercover work See if your child will agree to wear some fancy new duds if he can wear something comforting and familiar underneath. Let her wear her well-worn old leggings under a holiday dress or skirt; put his vest over a favorite long-sleeved T-shirt or sweatshirt. Better happy, comfortable, well-behaved and slighly oddly attired than beautifully put-out and beastly. When all else fails, accessorize If your child positively will not wear something other than his same old, same old favorites, try adding a special accessory -- a jingle-bell on a cord around the neck, a sprig of holly painted on a cheek, a tinsel "belt," a gift ribbon stuck to a shirt. It might not last long into the party, but it will make a nice presentation and give a special sheen to an everyday ensemble.
