Jump for it!




There's almost nothing easier to wear than a sundress. You slip it on and go! So easy, so carefree. Imagine if you could feel that way about a pantsuit. Just as easy and flirty as a dress, but even more carefree because they're pants. Uber-designer Stella McCartney had done it again. She's created a one piece that combines all the things we love for this time of year. The absolute must have pretty florals, in flowy fabrics that feel divine when sliding across your skin. Perfect to rock for a night out and still works for daytime casual chic. Love it!

Don't Call it a Comeback!


They're baaack! The jeans of the 70's are making a comeback. Think Charlie's Angels - the Farrah Fawcett series, not the Cameron Diaz movie. The jeans with the tiny waist and the wide leg is making a return in a big way! We already knew wide leg jeans were on the "it" list, now they've got a 70's twist. Everyone is taking their turn at the throwback style, so there's bound to be one that fits in every girls budget. Check around with Joe's Jeans and Victoria's Secret for styles and prices that suit your fancy.

Shot in the Dark...


The Chanel Cruise 2009 collection was a show stopper! The king of controversy, fashionably speaking, Uncle Karl strikes ahem, shoots again. The cruise line was the stuff of couture dreams. Pantsuits and dresses galore that screamed "buy me!" from the runway. The sky high shoes that would make any fashionista blush. The show stealer that left lips flapping were the shoes... the gun shoes. I'm all for creativity, but these took creative instinct to another level.

Maxing Out

Paris Hilton & Gwen Stefani

As the temperatures rise, the season brings the need for no-must, no-fuss attire. Coming on strong this year is the maxi dress. It's one trend that can be worn by anyone and look GREAT! Long-limbed sisters take note: this dress is definitely a friend of the tall girl! It shows off the long assets in a casual way that looks oh-so-chic. No need to be tall to make the look your own! For gals a little on the shorter side, work the look with strappy heeled sandals and look instantly taller and slimmer. It's a celeb fave for this time of year (especially for those with baby bumps)... but you don't have to be a-list to rock this look. Find great styles, in the budget, at sites like Victoriassecret.com

Trend Worthy?







I'm all for the "blast from the past" in the name of fashion. I really am. This particular trend, however, gives me pause. Straight from the nineties, It's the return of the color jean! From Rhianna to Cameron, everyone seems to jumping on board and it seems no hue is off limits. The most popular I've seen being scooped up by the fashion savvy? J and Company. They seem to have the market cornered on this particular trend. Others are definitely catching on though. I'm not sure I'm ready to board that train rainbow colored jeans. I wonder is this really coming back and if it's going to be around - I wish I had kept mine from the first go round.

Glad about it


Popping up on the toes of "it" girls everywhere gladiator sandals are a must-have for the summer! The shoe has several things working in its favor:


1. They're flat - casual days can be cute without a stiletto.

2. They come in colors that match everything - can you say gold, silver, fig brown and black!

3. There isn't just one gladiator look - find the one you love and rock it out!

4. You can find a pair that works with any budget. These lovelies are from Old Navy.


How many more reasons do you need to check out the trend o' the summer?


5. Did I mention they're super cute?

Lindsay's Leggings


It's a trend that isn't so new... but it seems to be sticking around. At least that what Lindsay Lohan is banking on. The sometimes starlet is hitting the market with her own line of leggings. My question, has this ship sailed?
