I spotted this shot taken during Paris Fashion Week and I fell in love with this sleeveless trench! Practical-no, but chic, yes! And I love the animal print sleeves against the trench-coat beige! And, of course, the hat and the spectator style shoes help with the chic quotient!

Aren't these plastic animal print sunglasses hot! Discovered these sunnies at Victoria's Secret and just had to post about them. I just love to have at least one pair of inexpensive fun sunglasses-so I can really enjoy them and not cry when I lose them! These really do fit the bill!

Aren't these flat sandals striking! Wouldn't these sandals be pretty for a little dressier look! I love metallic leather and this pewter is such a neutral go-with-everything color. These would be pretty with those summer dresses-both long and short. A comfortable flat sandal to wear for those summer parties!
I found these sandals at Net-A-Porter.

this retro style wooden handled bag!

Isn't this a pretty retro style bag! I just love this type of fun bag for summer! And aren't the wooden handles cool! It's a tote bag-no it's a beach bag-no it's a over-night bag, and yes, it can be all of those! I found this pretty bag at Pistol Stitched on Etsy.

Yes, boyfriend menswear oxford shirts are hot! When I ran across this shirt at Urban Outfitters was I impressed-particularly by the reviews this shirt has. According to reviewers this oxford shirt has all the good features of a menswear shirt-roll-up sleeves-a chest pocket and a looser fit. Reviewers also like the quality of this blouse including the heavy oxford cloth fabric. You can find this women's menswear boyfriend style classic white oxford shirt here.

Fashion Design Wearing Vintage Glasses & Artsy Silver Earrings







Isn't this lady stylish...

in her vintage glasses and artsy earrings!

I had to smile when I came across this image on anders-anziehen. Doesn't this woman have style! Just love to see someone having fun with their very own unique look! Everything about her look is fabulous. Aren't her vintage glasses to-die-for! She reports they're thirty years old and made by Casanova. Did you notice her artsy silver earrings-clearly a pair as she wears them, but different-and why the heck do earrings have to match anyway! See her complete look here!

Ecco Shoes Sandals Women's Comfortable Strappy Comfort Walking Sandals 2010







Today I'm loving...

how comfortable looking and cute these gladiators are!

Aren't these Ecco sandals comfortable looking! I just love comfortable sandals for shopping-something with a cushy sole! A thin leather sole is fine for dressy occasions when I don't have a lot of walking to do, but not for days when I'm out and about. Zappos reviewers say these strappy ECCO Groove Gladiator Sandals are super comfortable and cute! Some reviewers had spent long days trekking about on vacation in these and have been quite happy with them! I think wearing them on vacation is the true test!
You can find these and other ECCO sandals at Zappos.com!

Hot Fashion Trends Wearing Striped Tops Spring Summer 2010







What's hot for summer...
anything with stripes!

Thought you might enjoy some fashion inspiration from British designer Margaret Howell. Of course she's showing stripes for summer! Stripes, stripes, stripes are hot, hot, hot! Yes, stripes of all widths and colors are very hot in fashion. Tops, dresses, shoes and bags and most everything else can be found done in stripes! It's very much the Hamptons, don't you think-very classic and certainly nothing new in fashion. But stripes come and go and they're back in a big way. I love how easy a stripe is to wear-a little striped top with khaki pants and you have a trendy pulled together look.

Okay, I know this cropped pixie hairstyle is not for everyone or for most of us for that matter! But isn't this pixie cute on this gal and I can imagine a lot of other people wearing this cropped pixie-especially for spring and summer. And wouldn't this be a perfect no fuss hairdo for the pool and beach!

Fragrance Stella McCartney Beautiful Spring Summer Eau de Toilette Perfume








Santa brought me this fragrance sampler...
Fragrance Stella McCartney Beautiful Spring Summer Eau de Toilette Perfume 2010 Pictures

and lately I'm been sampling Stella's newest fragance.
Fragrance Stella McCartney Beautiful Spring Summer Eau de Toilette Perfume  2010 Pictures

Yes, I received this fabulous perfume/fragrance sampler and I've been having fun with it. The sampler contains the following: Aquolina Pink Sugar - Donna Karan Cashmere Mist - Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy - Prada Infusion D'Iris - Dior Addict 2 - Emilio Pucci Vivara Variazioni Acqua 330 - Kenzo FlowerByKenzo - Stella McCartney STELLANUDE- Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue - Harajuku Lovers G - Michael Kors Very Hollywood - Versace Bright Crystal - Atomizer.

As you can imagine, I just didn't know where to begin with this set. I decided to try Stella McCartney's new fragrance since I like some of her other fragrances. I'm so glad I tried it! I'm finding I love the STELLANUDE. It's a light floral scent- roses and peonies with hints of grapefruit and vanilla. I'm not a huge floral fan, but this fragrance-an eau de toilette, is so light that I'm enjoying the floral notes without being overwhelmed!

these canvas espadrille wedge sandals!

Don't these espadrille wedges scream summer! Yes, they do and I'm definitely there! Love these little canvas shoes-yes, they're canvas and I always have to have a least one pair of canvas shoes each summer. These espadrilles are almost flats and so feminine with the little one inch wedge and the dainty ankle strap. Just love these-they come in red, black, navy, and green! I'd love a pair in each color! I found these at Urban Outfitters.

Fashion Design Women's Hat Trends Wearing Fedora Hats 2010







What's really hot...

women's fedora hats!

I'm seeing more hats than ever, but the really hot hat fashion trend is the fedora hat! Fedora hats are everywhere as was seen during fashion weeks around the globe-Tommy Ton took these photos for style.com. What I do notice is that the fedora goes best with long hair-the masculine, boyish hat with the feminine long hair-it's alway about contrasts isn't it! In any case, expect hats to be around for a while and even hot for spring and summer in a summer weight straw or fabric!
