We will always see the “classic” denim cut-offs and bermudas, with the latter being my usual choice. My plan is to take advantage of the “shorts boom” and add some variety. I’m really loving the shorts with the full leg, as well as those draped cuties that have the look of a skirt. The “new short,” can be dressed up or down which is a great selling point for me. From Flat sandals, ballerinas & wedges to heels and booties; a frilly ruffle blouse or a something a bit more understated…worn for day or night, it all works.

As usual, I have my “favorites among favorites.” Topping the list is Vena Cava, Dsquared, Catherine Malandrino, Elizabeth & James, Sachin & Babi, Thread Social, Rag & Bone Cynthia Rowley & Re Collection. I also love the Camilla & Marc “destroyed” shorts…..I envision those with cute, flat sandals and a nice tank. They would make good “road trip” shorts, as they look super comfortable.

Generra designers Swaim and Christina Hutson, who previously owned and designed for Obedient Sons and Daughters, added some vibrant color to their simple, Nordic themed Fall 2010 collection. Those daring enough to wear bright royal blue, hot pink and kelly green will adore this collection filled with basic button ups, suits, skirts, sweaters and knit caps. Ladies can expect a number of color blocked and ruffled dresses and skirts as well as a few splotchy tie-dye pieces. It’s a relatively simple collection but with colors this intense, it’s equally as daring.
