Flip flops are a mainstay in everyone’s closet during the summer season. Flip flops are great during the summer because they are easy to slip on and off, they are casual, and they are ideal poolside shoes.

There are so many fabulous styles of flip flops for the summer 2015 season. We are seeing boho-chic inspired flip flops, playful beach-vacation inspired flip flops, 1970’s inspired flip flops, and traditional rubber flip flops in both solid colors and patterns. There is definitely a flip flop for every occasion in summer 2015!

Cropped pants are back! The cropped pant has made a comeback for summer 2015. This easygoing style is being shown on both tailored pants, and casual pants. Although the tailored style is on store shelves, casual cropped pants are the hottest pant trend of the summer. 

Casual cropped pants are a great alternative to shorts for the summer season. Since they are cropped, they end up being cooler than traditional pants, which makes cropped pants comfortable in the warm summer heat. Cropped pants also offer an effortless look which is easy to complete with high heel sandals, flat sandals, espadrilles, wedges, and heeled booties. They look very put-together, and chic. Love that!

The fabrications used by designers on cropped pants for summer 2015 include linen, cotton, silk, and silk blends. This offers a chic look to the fabric without being overly flowing. 

Cropped pants are fabulous weekend wear, and if worn with heeled sandals and a button down shirt, can easily be worn on casual Friday to work. Love that!

The new IT bag for 2015 is the Chloe Faye. I know, I know, we all thought it was the Chloe Drew, no wait, the Hermes Kelly, no wait again, the Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour, um no, it was Chanel’s Boy bag, wait no, it was Mansur Gavriel’s drawstring bag, no no no, it was the Givenchy Antigona! Ugh! How to keep up? Well, all of the above are correct.

There is more than one IT bag in town for 2015; so carry your Chanel Boy bag, or your Hermes Kelly, or your Givenchy Antigona, or your Chloe Drew, etc., with your head held high, and your pulse at a normal beat. There are many, many “IT” handbags to choose from in 2015. Although, the newest IT handbag to land on store shelves is the Chloe Faye.

The Chloe Faye is taking the “IT” bag world by storm in both the small size, and medium size. While the small size is selling out faster than a New York minute, the medium is equally as hot. The Chloe Faye has everything an IT bag needs in 2015. It comes in many shades of neutral, is has a simple, yet unique style, and it evokes a certain sense of classic meets 1970’s chic. It is very on trend; while still offering that vintage, timeless quality everyone seeks in the handbag-of-the-moment.

Chloe’s Faye offers classic flap shoulder bag style with a long strap. The strap can be worn cross body or over the shoulder; giving it a modern twist. Chloe is using soft leather, suede, and exotic skins, to create various versions of the Faye for spring/summer 2015, as well as the upcoming fall 2015 season. The Faye has an edgy, yet sophisticated chain which extends from the loop on the flap closure to one side of the bag, where it meets the shoulder strap. This gives the bag an unique look which sets it apart from other classic, flap style shoulder bags. It might be the touch which launched the Chloe Faye into “IT” bag territory.

As we move towards fall 2015, the 1970’s will be the most important decade of influence on fashion. Our skinny jeans will turn flare, our espadrilles will turn into platform sandals, and our drawstring handbags will become shoulder bags with a classic flap closure. The Chloe Faye will fit perfectly into the trends of the fall season.

Stay tuned as this retro handbag style becomes difficult to find. If you love it, and you want it, pre-order yours for fall now. I pre-ordered a grey one; they are going fast!

Happy shopping, carry an IT bag, and stay fabulous 😉
