Everybody gettin' high-waisted

It seems as though the high waist trend has been around forever, but it's obviously not going anywhere anytime soon either. High waisted pants and skirts are still appearing on the bodies of women everywhere who desire to hide their torsos and make their legs appear miles longer than they really are.

Evidence of the immense popularity of the high waist look is especially apparent on Copenhagen Street Style where these four ladies below, as well as others, are wearing high waisted outfits in posts on the front page alone.

Still, I always find it so fascinating how one look or trend can be interpreted in totally different ways. I think the fact that there are many high waisted styles to choose from is what has, thus far, prevented this trend from going stale.

Lauren Conrad, Duffy, Katie Holmes and Nicole Richie all wear different styles of high-waisted bottoms that reflect their individual tastes and personalities.

If you're still feeling this trend as well, here is a variety of high waisted pant and skirt styles that may appeal to you.

Lighten up, Denim!

Another '80s/'90s trend to make a comeback this summer is light wash denim. While dark denim is classic and universally more flattering, light denim is appealing because it has a fresh and casual look which is a great mix for summer. It may not be for everyone but if you like it and can pull it off, by all means, go for it!

Pictured below are light denim looks that were present on the S/S08 runways of Alexander Wang and Christopher Kane and also on the streets of London and New York.




If you like this trend, check out the light denim pieces that I found below.

The Short and the Belted

Cute, casual and perfect for summer! These shorts are the perfect clothing item for the season.

Simply tie the belt in a loose knot and wear with a casual shirt and sandals for a relaxed look. If you like, you also have the option of tying the belt in a bow to fancy up the shorts a little and pair with heels and a nice blouse for a night out.

These shorts are daring and flirty and you're sure to have fun in them all summer long!

Celebrity Style for Less - Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston (pictured with Owen Wilson) looks positively adorable in her casual outfit on the set of Marley and Me on April 18.

The overalls, white tank and belt combo is simple but stylish option that is perfect for, say, a stroll on the beach. Also, you can jazz it up by throwing on some bold accessories or brightly coloured shoes. It doesn't have to cost much to look this cute as I've found some places you can get this look at budget friendly prices.

Check em' out below.

What I got - Thrifting finds

Many of the best clothes and accessories I own have been discovered while thrifting. When I say thrifting, I don't mean thrift stores because we don't have any of those in Barbados, unfortunately. Almost every Saturday, someone holds a garage sale or flea market and this is the thrifting outlet for many Barbadians who are looking to get good deals on various items. I try to go as often as I can, but many times, I'm either busy or I wake up too late and the sun is way too hot at that time. Trust me, scorching sun equals misery.

These past two Saturdays, however, I was able to go to a few sales and get some pretty good stuff. Now the things I get cannot be compared to the amazing clothes and accessories available in other countries for dirt cheap prices (I wanna go away so badly!) but they're reasonable. Below are the items I purchased.

N.B BDS $1 = US $0.50


Red, Navy and White striped cardigan - BDS$10
Pink turtleneck - BDS$5


Full pleated pink striped skirt - BDS$5
Full tiered pink skirt (not dingy as in picture) - BDS $5


Large Square Clock Scarf - BDS$7
Large Square Dotted Scarf - BDS$7


Yellow and teal drop earrings - BDS$5


Brand new Grey Striped Shorts - BDS$7
(
There was also a pair of Ralph Lauren shorts for BDS$5 but they were too small for me. Pity!)

Earn your (nautical) stripes!

Although ideal, you don't need to go sailing on a yacht to wear this look. These stripes have been blowing up in stores all over this season and as classic and sophisticated is always in style, I doubt they will ever fully go away.

As is the case with any trend, don't go overboard with this style (no pun intended). One striped item of clothing at a time will make you look more chic, less overzealous sailor girl. Knowing what suits you is essential; clothing with stripes, in any direction, may not suit everyone.

Here are a few picks you may be interested in.
