New Trend Alert!: Denim

Denim is a definite must have of the new Spring/Summer 2011 season as denim is not only comfortable but also exudes style. So take a peek at what you should be looking for when it comes to denim for the new season!

The last season was all about skinny and boyfriend jeans but this new season brings a little bit more variety when it comes to denim. Go for artful denim which features different embroidery or colors to add some spice to the denim. Acid washes are also in and look amazing, especially if paired with different color fashion items.

Mix and match different styles and go for an all denim outfit for a bold look, or go subtle but choosing to mix and match different fabrics with your denim! Pay attention to details and you will most definitely end-up looking “smashing” in your new hot denim outfit. Enjoy!

What We're Loving: Espadrilles!

It's time to get rid of the flip flops and flats, girls.  Going out with friends? On a date? Or do you simply need a cute accessory to tie your look together?  Espadrilles are what we’re loving right now!  This cute shoe is perfect for every outfit and every occasion.

Espadrilles have been around since the 14^th century and continue to be one of the hottest looks out there.  The word espadrille comes from the Catalan name for a tough Mediterranean grass used for making rope.  The outsole of the wedge is woven, which is perfect for a summery look.  Original espadrilles were made with laces to tie up the ankle for support.  This adds to the sexy lace up look that we often see in Tory Burch’s collections. 

This look has been sported around Hollywood by some of our favorite stars,  including Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, and even Katie Holmes.  If you're wondering what to pair these adorable shoes with, we've got some tips! Wear your espadrilles with a printed airy dress for a Bohemian look, or throw on your favorite flowy top with a pair of shorts for a cute, laid-back look.  Perfect for a night out with the girls!

 Women's Knotted Jersey Espadrilles by Old Navy

The best part about this shoe is that it is made by practically all designers and can always be found for less! Some places to find this hot look for Summer 2010 for less are T.J Maxx, Forever 21, Marshalls, DSW, Kohl’s and Target.  Looking to spend a little more? This shoe is also made by Tory Burch, Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden, etc.

 

TREND ALERT! : Nail Polish

Don’t you just hate when your freshly painted manicure gets that first chip? Well now you can look forward to that moment as it is the hottest new look for 2010! BYS’S new line, CRACKED nail polish, creates tiny fractures amongst the surface of the polish, resulting in a cool crackled look. Our favorite is the black polish which “cracks” with contrasting hot pink lines. 

Obviously, something this cool has to have a catch- it is currently only available in Australia. Keep your eyes peeled though, because we are sure this product will find its way to the U.S. soon!
