Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Bermuda Shorts

 

 

A couple of years ago hot pants were the big thing for Spring, but this year it is all about keeping it long.  Bermuda shorts were seen all over the SS2013 runways.  (Above: Nanette Lepore; Rachel Zoe; Peter Som; Saint Laurent.)  Unfortunately, bermuda shorts really are suited best for lean women with long legs.  If you are lucky enough to fall into that category and want to give this trend a try, below are some options to consider:  Vince bermuda shorts for $195 on www.nordstrom.com; Vince Camuto bermuda shorts for $74 on www.nordstrom.com; Lightweight bermuda shorts for $49.50 on www.jcrew.com; Celebrity bermuda shorts for $19.99 on www.dillards.com; KUT from the Kloth denim bermuda shorts for $59.50 on www.nordstrom.com; Mural floral print bermuda shorts for $48 on www.nordstrom.com; "Buffy" bermuda shorts for $88 on www.anthropologie.com; alice + olivia cuffed bermuda shorts for $198 on www.shopbop.com;  Lucky Brand "Abbey" bermuda shorts for $69.50 on www.dillards.com; Rachel Zoe "Daemon" bermuda shorts for $195 on www.neimanmarcus.com; Christopher Blue "Liberty" twill "Gab 72" bermuda shorts for $150 on www.neimanmarcus.com; Lauren Ralph Lauren sateen bermuda shorts for $49.99 on www.dillards.com.

Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Pastels

 

 

One of the biggest trends this Spring and Summer are pastels.  (Above: Chloe; Christopher Kane; Erdem; Oscar de la Renta.)  I absolutely adore pastels so I am super thrilled that they are on-trend this season.  While I already have a ton of pastels in my closet, I literally want to purchase every single item below.  If you are a huge fan of pastels like me, below are some options to consider:  "Katrine" peplum top for $88 on www.anthropologie.com; Sam & Lavi "Trina" floral lace dress for $198 on www.bloomingdales.com; AG "Stevie" ankle jean for $158 on www.anthropologie.com; Sabine vegan leather tank for $79 on www.piperlime.com; 1969 legging skimmer jean for $69.95 on www.gap.com; "Softer Side" blazer for $66 on www.lulus.com; M Missoni eyelet dress for $795 on www.shopbop.com; "Turning in Tulle" skirt for $47.99 on www.modcloth.com; "Zip Down Memory Lane" jacket for $54.99 on www.modcloth.com; "Dorothy" coat for $698 on www.katespade.com; Gibson collarless linen blazer for $88 on www.nordstrom.com; Collection necklace shell top for $138 on www.jcrew.com.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably the hottest pastel trend this Spring and Summer is mint-colored clothing.  (Below: Catherine Malandrino; Kate Spade; Mulberry; Matthew Williamson.)  Mint is the "it" color to be wearing this season, so if you don't already have something in this shade, you'll be sure to want to pick something up!
