Even though snow is still falling, designers have already lined up to present their fall 2013 collections at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC. But let’s slow down just a bit. What about spring 2013 fashion? Who can forget those prints and patterns, the hues and colors, the sandals and shorts? Sure, some of us (or maybe all of us) weren’t able to walk up the steps to MBFW last year during spring fashion week, donning our chic winter coats, only to walk into a venue with the top names in fashion. But there’s no reason we can’t indulge in online reviews and runway shots of the hottest trends!
Bermuda shorts are back. From jean and cotton to silk and linen, designers such as DKNY and Rag & Bone all had a pair of these chic shorts on their line. Comfy and casual, they’re perfect for a laid-back day with friends or dressed up with a pair of pointy-toed heels for a night out on the town. Going to work not feeling a dress pant or pencil skirt? Tuck a dress-shirt in, put on a belt and a pair of leather oxfords with a solid colored pair of shorts and you’re ready for work!
Last summer, we saw a few courageous girls sporting cut-out pieces. Well this spring, these peek-a-boo pieces are even bigger with designers such as Diane Von Furstenberg having added them to their collection. The great thing about this trend is you get to choose what you want to reveal. Whether it’s your back, your sides or those abs you’ve been working on, this versatile trend is sweet and sexy!
A fan of Laguna Beach and the Hills, I’ve always been an avid fan of Lauren Conrad. So it’s only natural that when LC said the only person who could rock kitten heels was Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter, Suri, like any follower of the fashion world, I had to toss my black kitten heels to the side and get back into the habit of wearing heels that were at least 3-4 inches. Fortunately for me (and any other girl who can only last an hour in 4-inch heels), kitten heels are back! From Marc Jacobs to Peter Som, there’s plenty of selection on these foot-friendly heels. Worn with a knee-length skirt or straight pants, these heels are ultra-chic and super comfy!
With designers having set the agenda for spring, many stores such as Forever21, H&M and Aldo are sure to have all these trends popping up on display within a few weeks. So keep your eyes peeled and happy shopping!
