eye of the gate

Spring 2010 is a flashback to the 90′s. I like so many different things that I thought it would be fun to share them.

Camouflage

Camouflage cargo pants are “the  ultimate combat pants”. Understanding that camo-print is not the easiest trend and that it requires a certain personality to pull it off,  I think is super cool! Camo could be very feminine if worn properly. The above pants with a basic white tee, cute high heels and few bracelets would make you rock. (Pls note that some items in camouflage prints are NOT acceptable ie: leggings, headbands, underwear)

Camo pants available at Gap (if you don’t find your size online go to the closest store)

Chambray Western Shirt

Instead of the jean jkt -that we all wore to DEATH in the 90′s- the western shirt is a great re-emerging item that could be a fun alternative. When I first saw it second thoughts harassed my head. But how do you wear a chambray shirt?  Fitted chambray shirts look fresh and polished paired with khakis. Another option would be with distressed shorts, white tank top and short booties; or maybe wear it as an over sized chambray shirt paired with leggings and boots.

Sperry Top Sider

Few of us wore Sperry Top Sider’s on the 90′s, right? Bass, Converse, Nike, Reebok, Adidas, New Balance were among the popular brands. Invented in 1935 by Paul Sperry became popular as they were adopted by the US Navy because of the traditional non marking white out soles. This trend is being around for more than a year and to be honest I kind of dismissed the whole boat shoe phenomenon as a passing hipster trend, but when I saw them in metallic platinum gold my heart stopped beating.

Maybe it was love at first sight, but this are definitely a must have -for the rest of your life-. Great with khakis, jeans, shorts, little cotton dresses or skirts. Available at Sperry Top Sider
