I love a new trend & I love even more to share them all with you!
First Trend to Try: Harem Pants (Also known as 'Genie Pants'). When Harem Pants first hit the runway, I'll be honest, I wasn't too sure about the trend. But I tried them for myself & I thought it was a chic, fun way to spruce up my spring/summer wardrobe. I will admit that it takes awhile to get comfortable with the 'draping' so to say, but if you're confident in the trends you try, I can guarantee others will follow :)
So you're unsure of what to pair with the Harem Pant? Begin by finding a draping that best suits your body. I have a pair like these pink ones, where it drapes in the groin area & then turns to legging from knees down. Some Harem pants drape further, to about your knees & then at mid-calf they turn to legging. Although I adore these neon pink harem pants, I prefer to have the entire pant leg stop at about mid calf, as opposed to ankle. But play around, see what works best for your body style...
Some find a heel appropriate with a Harem Pant, but mine are cotton & made for casual days, so I love a great tan gladiator sandal. If you find a pair of Harem Pants that stop mid-calf, you'll want a gladiator sandal that wraps around your ankle to draw definition. These are my current fav...

Next, pair with a simple white razor back tank (I am going to trust you all have invested in a couple solid color razor back tanks)...

And lastly, pair your look with a pop-of-pattern, leopard print adorned fedora. A fedora is my go-to summer hat because I don't like to comb my hair they are definitely chic & perfect for blocking harmful rays from your face in the summer...

Next Trend to Try: Golds, Leathers, & Neons: Wrap, Stack, & Go!
Nothing looks better on summer bronzed skin like shiny gold! Which is why I love this trend! My style is very haute hippy, so I am ecstatic when a fun trend like this comes around. Layering bracelets is not only trendy, but easy to do too...
Start your collection with a few affordable gold pieced bangles...

Then, add a couple leather & woven pieces. Lucky Brand always has great leather wrist wraps & fun hippy accessories, but unfortunately, they don't like to embrace gold. But for now, this fun leather feather wrist wrap will work...

Then, add some pops of neon! Nothing screams summer, like bright colors. Trust me, this is easy to get carried away with (thank you 1980's) so keep it chic & simple with little pops of neon...

You guys know me- I love mixing polar opposites. Whether it be feminine with masculine pieces, or polka dots with stripes, I just love mixing stuff that normally isn't mixed! With that said, I love adding my classic time pieces with what I like to call my 'cheapies.' A classic leather Michael Kors band mixed with Forever 21 bangles is sophisticated, yet lighthearted...

And just because it goes with this trend, I wanted to share with you my love for Tory Burch (She can do no wrong in my eyes) Leather, Gold, Wraps... total love...
