Bust out the Thigh Master...it's Short's Season!

So, I've had some requests for a blog on shorts, so in honor of the boot camp I just started this morning (at the crack of dawn), I will post several shorts for different body types. All of these shorts can be found at shopbop.com so here they are in no particular order. The best shorts and why:

I love these filmy shorts from Vena Cava for the fact that they can easily be worn dressy or casual, however, I wouldn't wear them to the beach! They are flattering because they don't hug your thigh and it almost feels like a mini-skirt. They are just gorgeous!


Here are an interesting pair of shorts by Black Halo and I gave you the front and back image so that you can be discerning when purchasing these genie pants. They are really hot, but you'll want to have a toned toushie and I would venture to say that if you are over a size 6, these pants are not for you...


Now, here is a flattering "skort" for every bod. I love this crepe number by Thakoon. It has beautiful draping and a nice length to show off your gams. You can't go wrong with this "skort"!
And the last trend that I wanted to highlight is the "printed" shorts this season. There is a time and an occasion for the preppy short, but it's not really my style, however, printed shorts are IN and here are some non-preppy, ultra cool versions:

This is a playful, globetrotting, African print short from Whitley Kros (love her stuff).

Here is a track inspired short short by Ever. Super cute, but wear at your own risk and discretion!
Oh, and I almost forgot...for a nice denim short, try this retro, slightly high-waisted style from Goldsign!

Til next time...

Whitley Kros-Easy, Breezy Summer Combos

I want this entire collection from Whitley Kros, LA-based designer. I attach the emotion of easy, relaxing summer days at the park, the beach or sitting at an outdoor cafe for a glass of sauvignon blanc. Her clothes are easy to wear and you can mix and match PLUS, I really love the little silky shorts that have a little sportswear inspiration but also trick the eye into thinking they are an extention of the billowy, tunic tops. So, they are shorts, but look like a dress.....and of course, I LOVE that, because I live in dresses.
This first piece, a silky white jumpsuit, I see paired with some drapy, delicate jewelry from RB Designs for an evening out or a tropical vacation.

Prints on prints in barely there fabrics.

Love the combo of a flowy top and silky shorts with a pastel, structured blazer.



Pack light for a tropical vacation or feel like you are on vacation without leaving home just by owning this collection!
