10 key trends for S/S 06

[Tushka_BeLLa]

This summer's trends don't turn me on much... it will be nice to see how it is worn by celebrities .... but then again, ANYTHING is better than boho

 

[twilight fairy]

I'll only be wearing shorts out of all these.

 

[sweetjane]

i'm not sure that burberry dress is "edie",-- nor am i sure i even like the so-called "edie" style-- but i love that dress!

thanks for the extra trends susie, i totally adore the utility trend

 

[CateWillis]

The shorts trend is getting really big in aus at the moment!!! I ve never been a short person but now I can't get enough ... lol......

 

[Taper-Jean Girl]

Not crazy about the checks. I'd feel like I should be a waitress a pizza place or something

 

[susie_bubble]

^I dunno...I quite like gingham in the summer........it's kinda cute.

 

[indie]

I like these, especially I'd like to get my hands on nice shorts. No problem with that, it seems to be easily sold to the mass markets so more range for me.

 

[Yasmin]

hm there is nothing listed here that is really "me" =/

oh well, I find that the "fall" trends always tend to me more me somehow...

 

[*Happiness*]

minimize . . supersize !
wht does this imply ?!
nothn normal sized ?

* waist is my fav. here !

Thats what I thought...I'm like, having both this season? Can't decide. Either way...I do like the Chloe bag...it's interesting.

 

[Organic]

i just can not get behind this dressy short shorts thing.

 

[Yasmin]

I personally think gingham in the summer is nice too (maybe not red so you don't look like a picnic blanket), but I think it goes with messy hair, it looks a bit weird with the silky superneat hair.

 

[dreamecho]

i just can not get behind this dressy short shorts thing.

Why, may I ask? (I'm just curious, not accusatory.)

 

[cupcakes_yum]

Out: BOHO, please!!!!

 

[UniqueChic]

I don't know if u can see 'College Girl' working...who had ever seen a school uniform look good out of context, apart from naughty schoolgirl costumes
...and the key words here are look good...

 

[Lena]

personally i can't see the 'college' theme working..

 

[susie_bubble]

^I dunno....I could easily see myself wearing a pinafore dress with a high waist and huge buttons....I have a Clements Ribeiro dress like that.

Or a pale blue polo shirt with a mustard yellow 60's A-line skirt to get that college preppy feel.

 

[Meg]

I agree susie. I will definately be wearing big pinafore's and other sort of 'jumper' style dresses this summer.

Am I the only one who notices it's practically the same every year though? So safe. It's always pleats. Girly/menswear. Preppy. Plaid/madras (I swear every season they mention bleeding madras). Am a bit sick of it all really.

 

[liberty33r1b]

I'm going for the "waist" and "show some knee" trends, i'll surely keep them in mind when shopping next time (which is tomorrow.....)!!!
