Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Super Short Shorts

This Spring and Summer it is all about showing off those legs ladies! Knee-length shorts and capris are out and super short shorts are in!!! And when I say short, I mean SHORT! The SS2010 runways were littered with tons of short shorts bordering on hotpants (Above: Chloe; Loewe; Prada; Stella McCartney). Depending upon your bodytype and age, this trend may admittedly not be for you. But if you are under the age of 35 and have the legs to show off, pull on a pair of shorts as short as you can find!!! Below are some options to consider: BDG boyfriend short for $48 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Burnished short-shorts for $118 on www.anthropologie.com; Cooperative floral elastic short for $38 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Cotton poplin cargo short for $29.50 on www.victoriassecret.com; On-the-horizon shorts for $118 on www.anthropologie.com; Striped sailor shorts for $49.50 on www.express.com; Linen pull-on shorts for $29.50 on www.victoriassecret.com; Pins and needles silky printed tap short for $20 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Level 99 "Carolina" shorts for $68 on www.anthropologie.com; Lilly Pulitzer "Callahan" faille solid shorts for $68 on www.piperlime.com; J.

Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Nude Shoes

In keeping with the soft neutral clothing color palette for this Spring, another big trend on the SS2010 runways were nude colored shoes (Above: 3.1 Phillip Lim; Chanel; Elie Saab; Marc Jacobs). I couldn't be happier about this trend because I think they are super flattering because they elongate your leg line. I already own a pair of peep-toe nude pumps for work and a pair of nude strappy sandals for the weekend that I wear all the time! Another great thing about this trend is that they go with everything! Finding shoes to match a particularly bright colored dress like fuchsia or yellow can be tough because other neutrals like black and brown just don't quite look right. That is where the nude shoe comes to the rescue!

Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Sheer Fabrics

The SS2010 runways featured a lot of sheer fabrics (Above: 3.1 Phillip Lim; Alexander Wang; Marc Jacobs; Chanel). And this trend was not just limited to sleeves. Rather, sheer fabrics were seen on pants, shorts, and skirts alike. What do you think of this trend? Sexy or trashy?
