Key Summer Trends- for the Dolls





1. Haute Hippie- This season we step up from the Bohemian Chic (that lucky bitch that can throw anything together and look great kinda girl), to a more sophisticated boho look.......with a purpose. Think long flowing dresses in rich colors, metallics, flowered headpieces, wide leg bottoms and floral prints.



2. Gladiator Sandals- Gladiators were on the verge of coming out last spring, and they are back in full force this season. Everyone from Jimmy Choo to Old Navy makes a pair. Choose from studded high healed versions, woven flats, or go all out with the knee high versions.


3. Bold Accessories- An easy way to dress this spring is to invest in some killer statement making accessories. Take your simple white or black dress and make it go 'POW' with an armful of colorful bangles, throw on a pair of fierce metallic wedges, or tie a beautiful printed scarf around your neck.


4. Touch of 80's- The 80's are back in a number of ways (leggings, sweatshirt dresses) but this season we draw from the past and bring back neon. Mix it up, and grab those brights. The sun is shining and so should you!



5. Boy Meets Girl- While there is an abundance color and flow, there is a strong influence of menswear this spring. The perfect piece that everyone must own is a great fitting lightweight blazer. Throw it on over your haute hippy dress, wear with a rock and roll T-shirt and pair of shorts, or pair with wide leg bottoms and a high HIGH heel for a sophisticated he/she look.
