Here are some basic instincts:
-Pleated mini skirts,pencil skirts, onesy's/jumpers, swim/lounge wear (crunches squats & lunges required!) -Bright Whites, Androgynous Suits, Bright Yellows/Neons, Floral prints, Anything Safari inspired or Khakis -Sheer fabric including pantyhose and leggings, Chiffon, Palazzo pants/jeans, Tuxedo Style Jackets -Art-Inspired pieces, Lace, Bow Tie Tops, Furs, Flapper dresses, lots of Sequins, Two-toned fabric, over-sized safari hats and oversized triangular or square shaped sunglasses
During your outfit selection, do keep in mind that this season’s latest trend emulates that of the past meaning that classic staple items should not be replaced, but rather enhanced with additions such as bows, ruffles, lace etc. We’d never suggest that you go out and buy an entire new wardrobe, simply refreshing and upgrading your look with fresh bits and pieces of what this season has to offer.
This season there are no limitations. Anything from length, fabrics and levels of formality were experimented with. It was almost a a requirement for each fashion show to feature at least one outfit consisting of sheer, chiffon, lace, sequin, three piece/androgynous suits, shirt dresses and oversize hats. When listing their inspirations for the season, several designers mentioned Amelia Earhart. the Roaring 20's and the garconne-esque era when women were glamorous and rebellious at the same time.
The roaring and rebellious 20’s are back meaning that flapper dresses, sequined looks, boas, and androgynous looks pass the test. Be bold, dive in and spice up your daily rotation with poufy skirts, balloon sleeves, nautical jackets, tuxedo collars, mini dresses, long tunics, skinny leggings, sheer leggings, shirt dresses metallics, pewter/gray threads, high waist and ultra wide-leg trousers, androgynous suits, textured or art inspired knits, over sized bows, ballerina flats, or tribal, safari or animal prints. Wear your looks in confidence and always remember to wear the clothes and don't let the clothes wear you!

And let there be Light........Spring/Summer 2008
White - no longer a winter taboo and a trend that will very rarely go out of style- is one of those annual style irritations that is beloved of fashion frontiers and insiders but maybe a little less popular with those who live in an "ordinary world". White is an endless trend that can pretty much fit into anyone's wardrobe and is broken ritual now accepted after Labor Day! Peter Som, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Karl Lagerfeld and Douglas Hannant - you name them, and they've done a must-have piece or two in white! The most interesting part is seeing how each designer uniquely accessorized for the perfect finish. Whether it be a summer beach party in the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, Cabo San Lucas or just another ordinary day, why not brighten it up with an all white look.
