Obviously you know that Faux Fur is a huge trend for the season. It’s actually been a big trend for few seasons now and it is fast becoming a staple in everyone’s wardrobe. A “must-have” if you will. Celebrities are wearing lots of faux vests this season. And we love how they wear it their own way although most are wearing them casual with denim.

Worn over tees and tanks with denim cut off shorts and Over the Knee boots, the faux fur vest is a great way to transition into Fall.  Bring it out again in the Spring because this look works in both seasons. 

We love the Rebecca Taylor vest belted with a military inspired belt or add a bit of Embossed Croc for some added texture. My favorite new puff sleeve top from Joie is a great way to wear a long sleeve with a pop of the season’s hot color.

The vest has been a big hit, but we are also loving the new Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Faux Fur Vest Jacket.  This piece has a fabric back with a mixed Suede sleeve that sports a 1/4 sleeve zipper detail.  Pair this jacket over a gorgeous black dress for a night out.  We love it paired over the Joie Beaded top with some jeans and shoe booties for a casual, yet sophisticated look.

The Graham & Spencer Faux Fur vest in Ivory and in Black is sure to arrive any day now.  We just had to get both because it is the perfect piece to wear with a graphic tee, hoodie and, of course, denim and wedge boots. 
I’m thinking I’ll go for the black version so I can pair it with my favorite new Botkier Ava Hobo handbag.  Love the mermaid green against black.

What about you? How will you wear Faux this season?

We love Summer because it gives us the chance to really mix up your wardrobe.  Dare you toss in a bright top with your summer denim or even a floral!  OMG, a bright floral dress would throw some people over the edge!

Well, one thing you can count on each Spring and Summer is the definite need for some shorts.  One cannot live in dresses alone (this is a proven fact as I have tried and failed).  You need a respite from your daily uniform and this season, designers have given us some new styles to throw in the wardrobe mix.

Denim shorts

We have multiple styles available in distressed and clean versions of the basic denim short.  Whether you like the rolled, relaxed style from Work Custom or want a short, distressed style from Blank Denim to pair with tights and booties now, you will definitely need some denim shorts this season.  We also have a new Blank Denim White cut off short that is perfect with a new LnA tee and jacket. White shorts are great with flowing, bright top from Joie Soft and some flats.  Nothing says summer like white denim.

Lingerie inspired

The Edun Purcell short was a definite choice for us on this one.  You will start to really see this style come about as the weather warms, but trust us, this short style is already a huge hit.  The black silk style with a side button detail is certainly inspired by lingerie, but is this one has a bit more edge and is for the true fashionista at heart.  Pair with ballet flats to soften the look or with heels if you’ve got the legs.

Classic

Sometimes seen as boring, but with the styles from Marrakech and Generra, this is far from the case.  with a bit of a paper bag influence, the Marrakech Sofia short is a great length for wearing everyday.  We love the urban safari feel of the khaki, but the graphite is such a great color that it is a must have.  Generra’s silk Knickers have a bit of a higher rise, making it great back to the cropped shirt styles of the season and also if you love the classic fitted tank tucked in and belted.  A true classic style, this longer knicker style short looks great on everyone.

The beauty of this trend is not in dressing to the nines like Nicole Kidman in Australia (although her style was impeccable throughout), or but to take bits of pieces of the safari trend and incorporate it into your daily wardrobe. It is a very wearable and very chic trend.

Think of pieces such as a sheer t-shirt with a touch of khaki or a military green romper paired with studded, neutral sandals and even a simple canvas belt over a beautiful orange chiffon dress.

All, in some way or another, these pieces inspired by the season’s hottest trend: Urban Safari.  A blend of city, street- worthy pieces with colors, textures and/or a style reminiscent of  a Safari exploration.

Here are a few ways to have some fun and look in style.

Add a short, light suede, Spring Bootie from Joie with a silky, sexy, black romper from BCBGMAXAZRIA for the perfect date night outfit.

Pair a loose fitting Cargo-esque style pant with a floral top for a playful afternoon outfit that will be a big hit at the park or out for a casual lunch. We love the Pencey florals for the season.

Or for the most simplest way: throw a Me & Kashmiere Safari Scarf over just about anything in your closet. We love it over an easy, Kain silk blend tee with some Work Custom denim shorts and Joie Cut Out Booties.

So, take a chance, add a bit of this trend to your Spring/Summer wardrobe.  We think you are going to go banana’s over it.
