SUMMER TREND REPORT: Winning Whites

Originally posted in The CLOSET

Between WimbledonFIFA World Cup, and the upcoming Rogers Cup, fairweather sports enthusiasts like me are currently experiencing some full-on fandemonium. I usually like to participate in team sports (girls shopping trips) and full contact sports (sample sales), but the thrill of Canada's epic Wimbledon run and the World Cup Final Four have me living on the edge of my seat instead.

Sure, I love the games, but you can't blame me for lusting after the style of these sports heroes; I mean, Eugenie in her tennis whites? Talk about 'love'. And Team Germany's highly impractical soccer whites? Winning. 

A hot summer day just begs for this coolest of palette cleansers: bright, solid white. When worn head-to-toe, there isn't a more winning combination for any athlete, whether your sport is sangria-sipping, World Cup watching or, of course, shoe shopping. 

Happy FIFA Finals! Oh, and while you wait for the next game to start, check out my fav winning whites in stores now...

Crop It Like It's Hot

We spend so many months of the year completely covered up that it's no wonder we want to show some skin once the warm weather hits. There's just nothing like the feeling of the breeze through your hair, the sun on your shoulders, and the wind on your rock-hard abs. What's that? You normally keep those covered up, do you?

This summer, I'm throwing out a serious fashion dare, whether you have a 6-pack or a Timbit 10-pack: the crop top. I know, I know, it seems like something reserved for 13 year-olds and Rihanna. But, you might be surprised by just how wearable the new crop of crop tops can be. If you've got a super toned tummy, you can get away with showing off more skin. But for most of us, showing just a sliver above the belly-button is the way to go. A cute crop worn with shorts, tailored trousers or a skirt (worn high on the waist) will make you look like a total trendsetter all season long. But don't take my word for it; check out the 3 sweet crop top looks below and get inspired to take it up a notch this summer. You can SO do this (minimal sit-ups required).

Happy Friday xo
