WTF? What's The Fashion? Little Blue Dresses w/ Colored Heels

This trend is another favorite of mine because of course it concerns playing with colours. A little colored dress is the epitome of versatility and trend-setting allowing you to use your own style and imagination to make this outfit completely your own. Clearly, the trend right now is the LB(lue)D with colored heels. Throw out that traditional thinking that with this colored dress you must wear nude, black, gold or silver pumps. Now they're being seen in fuschia, purple and coral. Whether platform or peeptoe, as long as it has colour and height, complete it with your cool blue number and you're right on trend. Since the dress is solid in colour, go for cutouts, ruffles, ties and bows with a solid colorful heel. But also I believe since the dress is seen in a solid colour that putting on a printed multi-hued pump will really give this look pop and flavor. Step into some soft suede or glossy patent pairs to continue the trend of bold and vibrant colors of the season with your electrifying cobalt dress.

WTF? What's The Fashion? Denim Dresses

Who doesn't love Denim? It's the all-American fabric that has become the hottest trend every season, year after year. Denim is finding newer and fresher ways of being updated after being dyed, be-dazzled, distressed and faded. Now it's cut short and tailored up higher. If you don't have one, you gotta get this summer's updated style of dress, the denim dress. There are so many ways you can rock this jean frock. Create a kickin' rockin' look by investing in an embellished dress or drape a sparkle or lacy cardigan over your shoulders to transition your casual day dress into night. For me, my favorite way of wearing my strapless dark denim dress is with a black 3/4-sleeved blazer, black leather heels and a pair of gold door-knockers and bangles. A denim dress requires specific types of accessories to go along with it. The key to wearing a denim dress is accessorizing. A denim dress is made of a solid type of fabric that is usually not all that exciting unless it has a belt or studs, so accessorizing is key. A multi-faceted necklace would be ideal. Jewelry in colors such as gold, wooden or turquoise even yellow are only a few of many glamorous choices when completing your jean look. A pair of cute flats, great gladiator sandals and lots of bracelets or chunky bangles for a well put together look can really up-the-anty. The denim dress is a casual dress that you usually wouldn't wear to a formal event. Gorgeous silver or gold jewelry and metallic heels can make your denim dress give the "dressed up" look for an evening social. Which ever way you choose, join the denim mania by updating your wardrobe with a jean dress but to pull off your look, chic-ally, it's all in the accessorizing. Jeanius!

WTF? What's The Fashion? Tribal and Ikat Printed Dresses

Ikat and Aztec prints have created tribal inspirations for designers such as Mara Hoffman, Missoni and Gwen Stefani. Like them, you too can be an escapist of fashion absorb yourself in trend of tribal-print dresses. As you have been made aware of many times before, sundresses are a summer staple but that doesn't mean you have to wear it in the form of a floral frock. A tribal sundress such as Paris Hilton's, creates a base for your summer wardrobe. Go from classic to ethnic by accentuating the pattern with fringe details like Chloe's Versace dress. For those who are totally embracing this blazing look can be as daring as Kim Kardashian by going head-to-toe tribal in a maxi dress or you can always opt for a printed skirt. Gladiator sandals are the perfect footwear but opt for basic black or nude when wearing this vivid pattern. With these printed dresses, keep the accessories to a minimum. But if you are not completely converted to this ethnic look, test drive it by investing in a beaded clutch or patterned scarf.

WTF? What's The Fashion? Sleeveless Dresses

Sleeveless dresses are a summer staple. They are a sophisticated yet simple number that can create an effortlessly fabulous look. Any sleeveless dress whether strapless, tank or spaghetti strapped, can easily be dressed up with a jacket, a pair of open-toed heels and shimmering jewelry or toned down with large-framed glasses, a floppy hat and bedazzled sandals. To me, Halle Berry can do no wrong and looks gorgeous as always in her figure-friendly, curve-hugging silhouette. But for this summer trend, it is recommended to go a little more flirty and a little less sultry like Jessica and Kate's frock. Either way you choose to wear your sleeveless dress, you will always be able to show off that "I don't need to try hard to look this good" mystique!
