LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
May 23, 2008
 

Beyoncé, Ashlee, Mariah and Jessica seem to all be in a romantic mood lately- showing off their sparkly new wedding bands and beaming with a smile from ear to ear. Secret weekend weddings and surprise baby bumps seem to be Hollywood’s newest trend.

 

What better way to celebrate the dreamy month of June than with a romantic chiffon top. Soft and feminine, light-weight tops are a key trend for summer that are a nice change from the more tailored tribal prints that we saw in spring. To get this trend right you must ensure that you're not exposing too much flesh by styling it in a way that's age appropriate and fashion forward.

Layer a jersey dress under a chiffon tank dress for an unpredictable approach and new a twist on the layering boho trend. Try stirrup leggings and wear mixed-material bangles in wood, metal and bone. Complete this fun look with some vintage Kate Moss inspired sunglasses.

Now, what about the whole debate as to whether leggings are to be worn in lieu of pants? We say that if you can pull it off why not! Fashion is all about taking risks and having fun. However, if you do decide to go Lohan style, please follow these 3 simple rules:

1. When wearing leggings make sure that your top goes past your thigh- too much skin never looks good on anyone.

2. If you're wearing a dress, it's OK to wear open-toe shoes with leggings. However, if you're trying to pull it off wearing a t-shirt,open-toes do not look appropriate.

3. If your leggings stretch, pill or tear - throw them away!

You may not be in newlywed-mode but you can still feel like you're on a honeymoon with elegant and whimsical pieces. Perfect for the park or a day-time shopping excursion, pair together a printed paisley chiffon blouse with solid cotton sateen shorts. Accessorize with a long necklace, clean, sophisticated bangles and strappy gladiator sandals.  And while we're being truly romantic, throw on a wide brimmed hat to protect your luminous skin and keep the sun out of your eyes.
