Scrimp, Spend, Splurge: Tribal Prints for Summer 2011
The Missoni family has rightfully earned the title of master of colourful knitwear. We always look forward to their vibrant kaleidoscope-like designs on the runways, especially come spring and summer. This year, Missonis tribal-infused designs had us aching for warmer temperatures long before the snow had even melted so thats why it came as no surprise when heir to the Missoni throne, granddaugther Margherita Missoni, stepped out earlier this month in a shockingly bright tribal print skirt that, in true Missoni style, she expertly paired with three other forms of contrasting prints. The result: pure perfection. Of course Margherita isnt the only fashionista to break out the tribal gear this spring. Solange Knowles recently did double duty on the tribal prints with an ikat topper worn with a black and white printed turban a look we cant wait to rock this summer. And since most trends do start on the runway, we have to credit not only Missoni, but also Etro, Suno (pictured left) and Diane von Furstenberg with ushering in tribal prints for summer.

Pinup History XVIIII: Photo Pinups
Photo pinup magazines – like Wink – gave men sweet dreams at night.
Sure, a sultry siren drawing can get a guy’s engine purring, but there’s something about looking at a real photograph that gets the blood pumping and hearts racing. In the 1940s and 1950s photographic pinups were swiftly gaining in popularity. During World War II, lonely, homesick soldiers would “pin up” photos of sensual movies stars and girls next door to remind them of what was waiting for them when they got home.
Music Meets Fashion – Selena Gomez
We love Selena Gomez’s feel good teen anthems that encourage young girls to love and respect themselves for who they are. We love Selena’s fresh faced, natural beauty and her down-to-earth point of view.
But what we’re loving most recently is the launch of her new KMart clothing line for young teens called, Dream Out Loud. Fun trendy pieces that are cute and youthful – think striped ruffle tanks, layered jewelry pieces and printed cotton dresses and tops – make us eager to raid our younger sister’s closets!
Perfect for a breezy summer day, Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez for KMart is the next thing we just love from this cute teen crooner!
Flat Foot: We’re Trading in Our Heels for Something Flat
We dont want to be traitors to our gender but sometimes we really just cant stand another minute in our high heels. We love a good 4 heel as much as the next girl but there are times when we can almost hear our pinched feet screaming in pain. So for those hot summer days when wed rather go barefoot than slip on another pair of pumps, well definitely be reaching for something a little flatter, like a fun pair of flat leather sandals. From t-strap to criss cross, ankle cuff to espadrille, the options are endless and the hardest part will be choosing just one pair at a time!
