Giada De Laurentiis is one of my favorite chefs on Food Network and she's definitely the most stylish (she very well should be, since her husband designs for Anthropologie!)
Here's my take on her casual ensemble. I had to change the color of her sweater, but to make up for it, I added a bag!

Last night for Vday my fiancee and I went to Lure Fishbar in Soho. Absolutely one of my fav seafood restaurants, the meal was going so well, and around 8:15 Giada, her husband (who is the designer for Anthropologie), and another couple get seated 2 booths down. We were SO excited, but no one else seemed to notice!
