Mocs and Jeans!

Instead of the regular rolled up jeans and flip flops, try adding something new to your feet, like moccasins! These furry, comfy-like slippers will have the soles of your feet, feeling like heaven. The folded jean look combined with moccasins, gives off a classical look, yet somehow modernized. This ensemble is great for the end of august, begining of fall. But this fall you might also want to try, moccasin boots, which also look fabulous with a folded jean. Claudia Schiffer wears the boots, looking absolutely effortless.

These L.L. Bean boots will complete any fall look.

Wonderful Wedges!

This summer wedges somehow need to be making their way towards your feet! These shoes go great with floral dresses or a casual pair of jean shorts. They had that old country feel to virtually any outfit. The different heights of wedges vary from slightly high, to towering over everyone. You may try a lower wedge for an everyday look. But you may also try a much more heightend heel, for a big event or gettogether. These shoes are the perfect way to say,"I'm not trying to hard, yet I am".

These bright casual wedges add a statement with any outfit.

Oh, Lovely Lace!

Oh how lace always adds that of touch sofistication to any outfit! Which means it is the prefect trendy touch for summer. Lace can make a regular ole cocktail dress, into a headturner for a beach wedding or event. Try Kristen Stewart's take on the buzz worthy fabric, she wears a one-shoulder Valentino frock, with a pop of color on her lips. This look is a tad more classy, compared to just any summer day, but it does add that wow factor.

Clutch On!

This summer your new BFF is the oversized clutch, resting in your palms. You may think clutches are only good for a night out, or big event. But this season the popular bags are for daytime, and night. You may pair a tangerine oversized clutch with jeans and a tee, for a tad of exaggeration. You may also try a clutch with alternative strap, if your arms ever get a little tired. Or be like Jessica Simpson with a laidback summer dress, and fun patchworked clutch. This bag is for any look, anytime of the day.

Fringe Frenzy!

Let me guess, when you think of a fringe bag, you think 70's? Is that slighty close? Well these so 70's bags are making there way back. Recently seen on singer Fergie's shoulder, was a brown fringed bag by Genevieve Jones. She played this look very simple, with black skinny jeans and gladiator sandals. Back in 2009, Diane Von Fustenburg went for a very boho look with the fringed dress and bag ensemble. Fringe is all about having a good time, and adds that touch to any outfit.

Fergie looks calm and cool with this fringed bag.

Nautical Sailor!

Who doesn't love a decent stripped shirt to throw on with a pair of shorts during the summer? I sure do. Look at designer Junya Watanabe's spin on the budding trend. She deffinetly made a statement with bold black and blue striped dresses and skirts. She even had all of the models' faces covered by a white cloth material. Alexa Chung was also dressed to perfection, wearing a white and blue stripped dress, under a nude trench coat. Truely fabulous!

Just a Tad Fishy!

Of course braids are always a fun hairstyle to try during the summer, but the rave this season are fishtail braids. These not so ordinary braids have become a popular sight on many designer's show. Have a look at Nicholas K. Spring's take on the trending hairstyle. It's a medium fishtail braid, knotted at the bottom, with a sideswept bang. Which in my opinion is so summer tres chic. Also when experimenting with this look, try to go for messy yet effortless hair, like Selena Gomez did. The key to this hairstyle is to flaten a normal braid, into a fishlike tail.

As well as African tribal patterns, and camo jackets. Try pairing a colorful tribal patterned pant with a fun beaded top, like Jessica Szohr did. These new trending patterns are all about having fun with, and not being afraid to try something daring.

Fascinating Florals!

Florals...for spring? Trust me I know what your thinking! But not just any floral pattern are in for this season. Many runway shows this past NYC Fashion Week, went for a grandma type floral pattern. Which may not appeal to you that well, but packing florals on florals is becoming very popular! In D+G's spring show, different patterns and colors were shown one atop of the other. It is the perfect look for the ending of spring, about to begin summer vibe. Florals also go great with cardigans, or a light jacket. You might also like to try pulling off a floral romper, which looks absolutely gorgeous with wedges!

Flare Away!

I'm sure you remember the famous bell bottoms, well they're making a comeback this spring! The seventies inspired jeans where often seen on celebs like the late Farrah Fawcett, and Bianca Jagger. These flared jeans really accentuate your hips and thighs, but in all the right places. Pair the pants with a flowy top, which will give you a retro chic look. Go for a laid back look when wearing these, you want it look somewhat effortless. 

Farrah looks bubbly in the laid back, flared jeans.

This summer, neon is back! On your hands and feet at least. Colors like orange, turquoise, and yellow are becoming a hit on the runways and with street style. Pattie Yankee with Dashing Diva decided to go with a glittery turquoise look.

Short, Shorter, Shortest!

It's all about jean shorts this summer! And the shorter the better! Jean company, Current/Elliott included the trending shorts in their S/S line.

Not just any pair of jean shorts are in for this summer, more of a destroyed and distressed look is creating a buzz. Their comfy, yet effortless with a tank top and a pair of old converse.
