I don’t know about you, but I’ve felt like the denim scene has been rather boring these past few years. Thanks to the new Spring fashion trends, all of this is about to change. We’ve already introduced you to the overalls comeback, but here are a few new denim trends to keep an eye out for this season. With so much denim in fashion’s future, we can expect to see a lot of Canadian tuxedos – no complaints here!
— Boyfriend Jeans —
Whoever introduced the world to boyfriend jeans deserves a serious thank you from all women. It’s about time we get to look stylish while remaining insanely comfortable. Whether you choose to sport these with a pair of feminine heels and bold jewelry or with some trendy sneakers and a chic jacket, boyfriend jeans will become your new best friend.
— Ripped Jeans —
Pull out those old Abercrombie & Fitch jeans this season as ripped denim is once again trendy. Whether you choose a ripped skinny, boyfriend, or flared pair, you can’t go wrong with this distressed look.
— Jean Cut Offs —
The ultimate summer staple is back. Toss a pair of cut offs on with a loose Vince tee, long layered necklaces, and a pair of white converse for a chic and easy summer uniform.
— Flared Jeans —
For someone who is constantly sporting sky-high heels to seem a few inches taller, this is my ultimate favorite jean trend. An ultra-flared pair of jeans is flattering on almost any body shape if worn right. Make sure you get a pair long enough to hide your favorite wedges underneath to make your legs appear long and lean!
— Jean Capris —
If you had a flashback to middle school when you heard this, think again. This season’s capri pant trend involves chic and slim cropped jeans that hit right above the ankle. For those of us that are not model-tall, pair a darker hue with a feminine heel for the most flattering fit.
— Denim Jackets —
The denim jacket is back this season as the perfect way to add a relaxed touch to any outfit. Paired with a flouncy summer dress or a pair of black leather skinnys, the denim jacket is an ultimate staple for Spring.
Which denim trend is your favorite for Spring?

Practicality is never a strong influence when it comes to women’s fashion. The look is always the leading factor, which is exactly why the new long vest serves solely as a fashion statement. Most people choose a knee-length coat not only because it’s chic, but also because it serves a purpose – to keep you warm on a cold day. The long vest was created to turn even the drabbest outfits into an easy and sophisticated look, without considering the impact of the weather while looking fab. Whether designers choose a structured take on the vest like Vince or a flowy version like Missoni, the long vest is an absolute must.

Calling Carrie Bradshaw: MULES ARE BACK! Yes, you heard that correctly – those backless, slide-on heels you graciously gave away early in the millennium have made a comeback this season. Though they may resemble a shoe your grandmother would wear to Christmas dinner, don’t be surprised if you are yearning for the new Fendi mules to pair with a pair of cropped cigarette pants for your next happy hour. Check out some of designers newest mules for this season. I have to say 3.1 Phillip Lim nails it with his bold take on the classic shoe. What do you think?

If Issa London doesn’t ring a bell, I’m sure the famous sapphire dress Kate Middleton wore for her engagement announcement will!

The British are coming! In less than one month, my favorite online retailer Topshop will be opening a boutique within the Dallas Nordstrom stores. Considering I’m rather old school and prefer to visit the brick-and-mortar locations over online shopping, I am beyond ecstatic of this news! Topshop mirrors the audience of Zara and H&M with trendy, high fashion pieces at affordable prices. Though the British retailer has flagship stores in NYC, Chicago, Vegas, and LA, this new concept within Nordstrom stores has already proved to be a huge success for the company. Mark your calendars for October 3rd – This is a launch you do NOT want to miss!
