Taking The Short Cut.....

 The Shorts Trend 2012

Nothings says summer like a pair of shorts. Our favourite summer staple is back with a bang - shorts were seen on all the best dressed pins, and the A-list are loving them too. 

Get in on the act in so-right-now Looking for an alternative to the little black dress for a fresh summer look? Denim shorts are a smart wear and are  dedicated firmly to languid summer Saturdays. Office looks need not apply because we're in a short shorts state of mind. The style set are wearing their cut-offs embellished, black, floral and classic and pairing it with blouses that are both boho and tailored and tees that are printed or bold. Take notes from festival girls Kate Bosworth and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and urban ladies, Rihanna, Alexa Chung and Zoe Saldana, for your short cut to chic. 

Shorts work well teamed with a blazer and heels, and for daytime, dress down with a T-shirt, cardi and pumps or boots. No matter what shape short you go with, the freshest way to wear shorts this season is with tops that hit at the hip – whether wearing them for a polished work look or a sexy night out. The new breed of shorts looks nothing like the ones you wore in grade school which are flattering to most body types. the sun is coming and with it comes the official start of summer. The perfect piece to welcome the new season? Nothing says summer—or America—quite like a pair of jean shorts. 

Ever since Daisy Duke debuted her now eponymous form-fitting cut-offs, denim shorts have been an indispensable staple; it's no wonder these blue jean babies get reinvented year after year.  Brit beauty Rosie Huntington-Whiteley donned a pair of studded denim shorts for a casually dressed-down—yet still incredibly sexy—look that couldn't be more on trend. 

Love it or hate denim shorts with tights is a street style here to stay. Just because spring has arrived doesn't mean you have to store all of your winter clothes away or in this case bring out your summer clothesl. Denim shorts is one street style trend that is becoming more popular in New York City, LA and London. Pair it with casual flats, booties or like Rihanna a pair of pumps may do the trick. See below for our street style trend of denim with shorts.

In the Swim….

Swimwear 2012

Since summer is already around the corner with the sultry sun and thick air, it is the right time for hitting the swimming pool or beaches to cool down and get the energy for the rest of the day: you have got plenty of options available- roof top pools, spas, cottage dock lounging. So, you will basically spend the entire summer lounging in the water, which means you need to renew your swimwear for the coming season.

With spring / summer burgeoning for many a fashioniser, we’re all eager to hit the beach. But whether you’re soaking up the sun in Majorca or on the Venice Lido, the most important decision won’t be the SPF of your sun tan lotion, but which swimwear pieces you’ll be wearing. Take a look at the ‘in’ styles and the ‘out’ styles of swimwear, helping you choose the piece of swimwear that is perfectly inline with 2011's and 2012 fashion line.

Swimwear trends don’t move in quite the same cycles as other fashion trends. That’s because it’s hard to reinvent the bikini or the monokini: in the need to balance functionality and sex appeal, designers are limited to what they can actually do. Despite this, one piece and bikini trends are certainly still influenced by other fashion trends. 

So what swimsuit trends can we expect for 2011 and into 2012? You’d be right if you guessed swimsuit styles influenced by other key fashion trends for the year. There was plenty of Swim Fashion Week 2012 just wrapped in Miami, and even though these bikinis won't be available until next season, there was plenty of sexy swim-spiration. High-waisted two-pieces, cut-outs, metallics, scarf-like prints and sheer cover-ups in animal motifs were all big trends—so start planning your mid-winter vacation now.
