Legs for Days

Living in a four season climate makes transitioning wardrobe pieces much more challenging, especially with the recent storm we got hit with in Toronto! Despite the chilly weather, I've always been a big fan of integrating shorts into my winter wardrobe - typically with a pair of patterned or colored tights. This upcoming spring/summer season is one that is reaching new lengths, with the return of Bermuda shorts and short suits (blazer/short combo). I'm guessing many of you thought what I initially had when reading 'bermuda shorts' but seeing all the amazingly styled runway looks has gotten me pretty close to investing in a pair. Although, realistically I know this is an incredibly hard trend to pull off without looking stumpy or drawing attention to unwanted areas. And I've always been a firm believer of dressing for one's body type and not adapting a trend just for the sake of looking current. There are many ways to emulate the trend in more flattering ways or opting for some other trends that you enjoy just as much and are more suited for your body and style.

Take a look at my favorite looks from the runway - it was so tough to narrow it down to only three looks:

It's a Sheer Thing

Since it's appearance on Fall 2011 runways, sheers have been in the fore front of many closets. I have no doubt they will be around for the next while, especially with the oncoming spring micro trend - sheer paneling. We can expect to see this beloved trend to take a playful and alluring turn. Here are some looks off the spring 2013 runway from Preen's RTW collection, along with a collection of lust worthy items to help you move into the new season with style!
