MID DRIFT DONE RIGHT

ALOHA

Feeling tropical? It seems designers are, with hawaiian prints exploding onto the streets of Sydney, New york and Paris. Maybe its time for J. Crew to do a collaboration with Tommy Bahama? As always florals are ever so popular this Spring, but hopefully the tropical trend continues into next Spring and takes over for some of those boring flowers from like a garden or whatever. Long Live Vacation.

THOUGHTS OF SPRING

the pajama pant: major or minor trend report

Ahh yes the printed silk pant aka the pajama pant... Dolce and Gabbana tried so desperately to encourage this trend for Spring 2009, unfortunately it was styled like...well...pajamas. Lucky for us, the fashion world did not completely give up on the trend and this year's September issues were packed with updated, well dressed printed silk pants.  The 1970's seems to be the key behind the success of this micro trend, worn with tuck in tanks, knits with mismatched patterns and trench coats. Add a satchel leather bag and wedged boots and you have mastered the ability to wear a pajama pant to work. Predicting this trend will hit big in early spring. . We shall see if bloggers and celebrities take on this trend to...and don't wear it like...pajamas.
