Military Styles | Fashion Trend Collection

Military styles can be seen everywhere. From tops to dresses, blazers and cargos designers are loving the look of military influenced fashion and now you can rock the trend.

You can wear this trend simply by wearing hues inspired by the military aka olives, khaki's, and navy hues. Strong shoulders or shoulder pads are also highly influenced by the military style. You can also try items that have embellishments of fringes along the shoulder blade for the trendiest military style. For Summer 2010 cargo shorts and capri's are perfect for showing off your legs and your love for military fashion. Come fall 2010 we'll be seeing plenty more styles that have a strong military feel. Look below to see trendy ways of how you can wear the look.

Surf's Up Summer 2010 | Fashion Trend Collection

Summer is officially here, though it doesn't really feel so here since it just doesn't stop raining! However those of you that can soak up the sun rays (use sunscreen please) might be interested in knowing what's going to be trending this season.

Polka Dots!
Polka dots come back for another season of fun dotting, so make sure to own something allusive to this trend, make it a headband, a shirt of even your short shorts!Surf's Up Summer 2010 | Fashion Trend CollectionTribal Prints!
Avatar left us craving for tribal prints and dark, muddy palettes. This craze will probably die with the lovely, warm sun when Summer is over so, if you can afford it, grab a few garments and complete your one-hit Summer Season Wardrobe.Surf's Up Summer 2010 | Fashion Trend Collection
Nautical Style
Dreaming we are cruising on a yacht is now all the more possible with the gorgeous dresses and shirts that are available this season. Stripes and cute anchor buttons are all aboard!Surf's Up Summer 2010 | Fashion Trend Collection
Tie-Dye
Yes, a blast from the 90's is back to say hello! Grab a tie-dye shirt or make one yourself this Summer and pair with some shorts, sandals and sunglasses and head out to beach. Can't look cooler than that.Surf's Up Summer 2010 | Fashion Trend Collection
Floral Prints
Still with us is the floral print that has been accompanying us since last Spring. A sweet Sunday dress, a maxi dress or a long sleeved floral print button up shirt with some shorts and tennis shoes are the way to go to get rid of the heat.Surf's Up Summer 2010 | Fashion Trend Collection

Alice Meets Taylor Latest Trend | Fashion Trend Collection

Being completely honest, I truly am not into today's pop artists and their style. I very much hate it sometimes when they are named fashion icons and/or turn into fashion designers and haven't even set foot in a design school. Ok, enough with the rant.

Now this editorial has made me make an exception. The New York Times Style Magazine featured Taylor Swift in their most recent issue and I must say how impressed I am with this shoot.

It was an Alice in Wonderland inspired shoot that definitely took my breath away. I must say I admire how poised, elegant and sweet she looks in every pic. I adore how the makeup looks on her and how she adds grace to everything she's wearing. She totally earns the title of fashion icon in my book.

Wonderful Betsey Johnson Collection | Fashion Trend Collection

All you need to create something astonishing is hidden in the past. History is a wonderful source of inspiration, of knowledge.

I believe this year's Betsey Johnson Collection has this explosion of the New and the Old. I believe that she not only combined elements from past designs (like the flower on the dress - that was pretty typical of her designs in the 90's) but she has a marvelous representation of past decades of fashion history colliding with modern looks and uncontrollable splashes of color in every piece.

I just had to pick my fave designs from this Fall's collection to show you all. =)
Enjoy!!

Isn't she awesome!! Ok, so I love her style and how she does the cartwheel in every one of her runways; so unique.

Oh, tomorrow is finally my 23rd b-day! Yes, I'm ultra excited even though I must go to work and proceed with my everyday weekday tasks, lol. I can't help but feel that I'm getting older and it does somewhat frighten me. Still going to Hard Rock Cafe and I solemnly promise to take lots of outfit pics with whichever camera I can find. =)

By the way, must let you guys know that I'm opening a cute second hand clothes shop. I realized after buying my bass guitar that I needed an amplifier so I had an early "spring closet cleaning" and am getting rid of all those garments that I either haven't used EVER, or have only worn a few times. So if you all have a chance, please check it out. I'll be adding things as quickly as I possibly can.
