Move over statement necklaces, there’s a new accessory trend that’s bolder than ever! Body chains are one of the hottest new accessories this season, and let’s just say I am becoming obsessed. Though I originally purchased my body chain to wear in the summer paired with a bikini, layering it over my outfits for a night out is just as fun! Though there are a variety of styles available, this dainty gold chain is the perfect accessory for any look. Similar to ear cuffs, temp tats, and hand chains, body chains are an edgy trend I dare you to try.

Being as though we are millennials in today’s society, there’s no denying our love for the Olsen twins. From their days as the crime-fighting duo to their current state of fashion-forward icons, Mary-Kate and Ashley will always be two of the most iconic stars in our eyes. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the Olsen twins have launched two very successful lines of fashion: The Row and Elizabeth and James. Elizabeth and James is their more contemporary line with prices that fit my budget and happily fill my closet. The Row, on the other hand, is their couture collection carried in almost 200 stores throughout the world. The Row embodies the styles we usually associate with the twins – over-sized pieces, vintage-inspired, neutral colors, silks, etc.

Mary-Kate and Ashley have recently announced their very first retail location for The Row, and what better location than Melrose! Keeping with their under-the-radar facade, The Row is a modern and simplistic location behind a corridor of offices, which once housed the production studio of Neil Diamond. The twins aimed for the store to feel like a home by simply mixing clothing and accessories into the decor of the store, complete with a living room, dining room, and outdoor pool.
By carrying The Row’s entire collection, Mary-Kate and Ashley hope to give the store a showroom effect for shoppers to have access to all of their pieces. When asked if this retail venture could spark a similar opening for that of Elizabeth and James, the twins admitted it could be a possibility in the future depending upon the success of The Row. Be sure to stop by their new location next time you are on Melrose, and keep your fingers crossed for more locations to come!

One thing you may have learned about me is that I am always on board to try out the newest trends. Crop tops, ear cuffs, overalls, scrunchies, you name it. However, I have to admit I am having to ease myself into one of the newest trends hitting the scene this season: the long short. Though Bermuda shorts are not a new trend by any means, considering a pair of slouchy knee-length shorts to be a feminine and daring new look is a bit daunting to me. With so many different shapes and lengths available for these new shorts, it is definitely possible to find the right shape and style for any size with a little trial and error. Take a look at some of the new looks below and tell me what you think. Like I said, they are growing on me. Are you in?

I’ve never been much of a pattern person, but I just can’t get enough of prints on prints this season! I think it all started with this little number (available here), but I am just instantly drawn to matching separates right now. When I spotted this blue and white short suit from Milk & Honey, it was love at first sight. I love the way the blazer gives a tailored look to the outfit, but tying in the matching shorts makes it the perfect set to toss on for a casual night out with the girls. See how I styled my short suit and see some of my other favorite picks below!
