The shirtdress is a classic dress style. This timeless silhouette has been reinvented season after season appearing with varying sleeve lengths, collars, hemlines, and button patterns. For summer 2015, the shirtdress takes on a slim silhouette, single button pattern, double breast pocket design, and tie waist belt. The collars on shirtdresses for summer 2015 are being shown in every style imaginable. Love that!

The shirtdress for summer 2015 is considered a casual style best worn during the day and on weekends. Shirtdresses can easily be worn with flat sandals, high heel sandals, summer booties, and casual pumps. Shirtdresses also look amazing for summer 2015 when styled with an on-trend bucket bag, or flap closure shoulder bag, reminiscent of the 1970’s.

Fabrications for summer shirtdresses are mostly in natural fibers such as cotton, and silk. There are a few styles being found in soft polyester, and rayon. Look for crisp cottons, or flowing silks, for the most “of-the-moment” look in shirtdresses this season.

Although not a dominant runway trend, shirtdresses are a favorite on the street; making them one of the hottest street style trends in casual attire for the summer 2015 season.

Last spring and summer, slip on sneakers were all the rage. For spring 2015, both slip on sneakers and tie sneakers are all the rage. Three cheers for comfortable casual fashion! 

Not only have designers and brands created beautiful, fashion-forward slip on sneakers and tie sneakers for spring and summer 2015, these style have been spotted on fashionable feet on the street, and in the tents, at New York Fashion Week! Love that!

Sneakers for spring and summer 2015 are being shown in a variety of prints, colors, and textures. Florals are a huge trend in sneakers for spring 2015. Kate Spade famously showed her floral sneakers at fashion week for spring and summer 2015; and she isn’t the only designer seeing flowers for the warm weather season. In addition to florals, designers are showing snake print, animal print, and tie-dye prints on their spring 2015 sneakers. 

As shoe styles trend toward more flat styles, and the fashion crowd tires of mega high heels, sneakers are the perfect, comfortable alternative to the current flats, and flat sandal trend. Sneakers are easy to wear, stay put on your feet, and tell the world you are uber cool. Love that!

Sneakers in both slip on and tie form are being shown with a variety of apparel styles for spring 2015. You can wear them with sundresses, casual dresses, midi skirts, mini skirts, and even maxi skirts! Of course sneakers always look amazing with jeans, shorts, and anything traditionally deemed “weekend casual.” Did I state the obvious?

If you have a pair of slip on sneakers from last spring, and they haven’t been worn out, then you are all set for the spring 2015 sneaker season! If you would like to update your wardrobe, look for a pair of tie sneakers since they are the newest sneaker on the street. Well, not really “new,” but new to fashion as a hot trend of the season; because yes, we all own sneakers, but not sneakers like the ones being shown this season!

I found a few fabulous slip on sneakers, and tie sneakers around the web, and I assembled them into the shopping widgets below. I hope you love them! I have my eyes on the floral pair featured above. I feel like I need them in my life. Which pair do you like? Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Mini bags for spring 2015: Black mini bag / White mini bag / Cobalt blue mini bag / Fuchsia mini satchel / Polka Dot mini convertible satchel

Mini bags have been a huge trend over the past few seasons; and the trend is showing no sign of slowing down as we move into spring 2015. Consumers love this trend, which means mini bags are hot on the streets; mainly in the form of cross body bags and satchels.

If you already have a mini bag from a past season, you are all set! If not, this is the perfect time to invest in a mini bag for the spring and summer seasons. If you are looking for a shoulder bag version, look for a strap which can be worn cross body. The handbag silhouette should be rectangular or round. These are the two hottest silhouettes! Some designers are showing patterns such as polka dots, while other are showing kitschy designs such as monster face. The most popular style is being in a solid color. Look for  neutrals, shades of blue, pinks, red, and cheery yellow.

Mini satchels catch your eye? Look for east/west silhouettes and squares. Mini satchels are a great way to wear the mini bag trend and not sacrifice too much on interior space. Mini satchels tend to be roomier than mini shoulder bags. Designers are showing mini satchels mainly in solid colors; although, you will find a few color blocked versions on store shelves. Look for suede blocked with smooth leather; or canvas blocked with leather. Love that!

Mini bucket bags and drawstring bags are also on the market for the spring 2015 season, although, not as popular as the shoulder bag and satchel versions. Drawstring and bucket bags are a great way to wear the mini bag trend if you are worried about fitting things into a small handbag. Since the bottom of the bag is round, there is quite a bit of room inside a mini drawstring or mini bucket bag. This is a great way to wear the drawstring or bucket handbag trend if you feel like the traditional versions are too large. The mini version will be perfect for you!

Here are a few fabulous mini bags for spring 2015. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
