The hot, summer weather is here; this means it is time for shorts! There are several styles of shorts which are on trend for the summer 2015 season. This means we will not have to sacrifice style for comfort this summer. Love that!

The runways brought us the boho-trend, and the Bermuda shorts trend. Shorts for summer 2015 reflect both of these runway trends. There are also a few shorts trends for summer 2015 which did not grace the runways in New York, Paris, Milan, and London; they originate from the streets, and from the beaches. Without further adieu, here are the ultimate trends in short for summer 2015:

Boho-chic: Boho-chic shorts are all the rage for summer 2015. We are seeing boho style prints, loose fabrics, and relaxed silhouettes on boho-chic shorts. Boho-chic shorts tend to hit mid-thigh or slightly above.

Bermuda shorts: This 80’s trend was all over the runways for spring/summer 2015. Bermuda shorts for summer 2015 tend to be shown in solid colors or denim. Look for styles which are slim fitting, and hit right at the top of the knee cap.

Board shorts: Board shorts are a huge street style trend. Originally popularized by surfers on the beaches of California, Florida, and Hawaii, board shorts are mainstream for summer 2015. Look for dark, solid colors, and drawstring waists. Also look for board shorts to hit between mid-thigh, and the top of the knee.

Bow-tie shorts: Shorts with bow-tie’s at the waist are a huge trend this summer 2015 season. Look for styles which hit mid-thigh, or slightly above. The silhouette is loose without flowing. This feminine style looks amazing with wedges or tie-up sandals.

Denim cut-offs: Cut-offs, which was a huge trend in the 90’s, 80’s, and 70’s, are back with a vengeance. Look for styles which are very distressed, and hit about mid-thigh or slightly above. Cut-offs look best with vintage tee’s, tank tops, flip flops, and loose fitting tops. This is a trend you can DIY. Have an old pair of jeans you don’t wear anymore? Why not cut them off! You’ll recycle an old article of clothing, and save money at the same time. Love that!

There you have it! The hottest trends in shorts from both the runways, and the streets; and shall we also say beaches?! There is a style of shorts for everyone this summer 2015 season. Which style is your favorite?

My favorite short for summer 2015 from around the web:

When I first saw this skirt by Kate Spade, I instantly fell in love with it. Not only does it have a fabulous print featuring one of my favorite blue hues, it is lightweight and comfortable; perfect for summer!

The past couple of weeks, temperatures here in the San Francisco Bay Area have been hovering in the high 80’s and low 90’s. This has caused me to to choose an outfit each day which is not only appropriate per occasion, but comfortable in the heat. This skirt has worked perfectly for both meetings and church. Love that! I paired it with a comfortable, and lightweight, basic tee shirt. This has kept me cool in the 90 degree heat, while giving the outfit a summery and carefree look. Double love that!

One of my favorite summer into fall trends is the block heel. I love stacked, and thick high heels because they are easy to walk in. When the heel is thick, I don’t have to worry about teetering and falling, or possibly chasing one of more of kids. I can run in thick heels if I have to! These black suede high heels by Aquazurra are perfect for now, and the fall 2015 season. They fit into the thick heel trend, they are comfortable, and they are suede; a big fall fabrication trend. I know I will be wearing these Aquazurra shoes quite often throughout the remainder of summer and well into the fall season. They not only look amazing with skirts, these shoes are fabulous with flare jeans too! These Aquazurra shoes are great way to wear a fall trend before the start of the fall season. I love being slightly ahead 😉


Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish for summer 2015 review

lovely beige nail polish summer 2015 les beiges review

Pictured: Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish from the summer 2015 beauty collection “Les Beiges”

Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish is a beige color from Chanel’s late summer 2015 collection, “Les Beiges.” This medium beige hue is an instant classic which can be worn as a neutral polish during any season.

This medium beige hue is easy to wear, and plays well with summer 2015’s color palette. In fact, due to the neutral nature of Lovely Beige by Chanel, this nail polish can easily transition into the fall season. If you prefer neutral nails, Lovely Beige by Chanel can be a go-to neutral nail polish during all four seasons. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. It was easy to wear and worked with all of my outfits. Perfection!

Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish is part of Chanel’s late summer 2015 beauty collection “Les Beiges.” Lovely Beige, and the entire “Les Beiges” collection, can be found online here, here, here, and here.
