Trend Spot

Back in White and fabulous!

by Martha Alburquerque

One of the hottest runway trends for Spring/Summer 2010 was all white ensembles.  Calvin Klein, Fendi, and Stella McCartney (image above) were some of the designers that cooled down their color palette just in time for a summer filled with heat waves!

When going for all white, you have to be careful that you don’t end up looking like a pile of dough or a bit too holy.  Travelling? White is perfect for the Caribbean. Loose-fitting tops and bottoms made of breathable material are perfect for daytime sight-seeing when the sun is at it’s prime.

Planning a fun night out?  Now you can rock your skinny jeans with a cute tank or a short cocktail dress with an eye-catching detail (you don’t want to look like a nurse).

Here are some of our favorite looks using this trend!

The Ellie Tahari short-sleeve safari jacket and skirt suit is classically beautiful.

Free People Shine-on Cinched Waist dress in White will help you sparkle this summer!

The Dooney & Burke white Dillen Leather Handbag is HOT!

Diesel Ripped Skinny Jeans are the sexy version of the common jeans…perfect for that “bad” girl!

*Derek’s Style Tip: I live for white but if you are looking to break it up don’t be afraid to add beige and a darker cream to the mix so as not to look too uniformal. Xoxo d
