ReplyDeletehehe great shorts! I love shorts, you can show off your legs yet don't have to worry about people seeing your underwear lol
ReplyDeletei am so looking forward to shorts. must exercise harder.
ReplyDeleteI love the Victor & Rolf -- even though I really never wear shorts.
ReplyDeleteooh the bloomer shorts are the best!!
ReplyDeleteHI. I’ve just added you to my list ‘your blog is fabulous! (I have taken one blog from each country). I think that your blog fabulous and I frequently visit it. More on my blog. Greetings.
ReplyDeletep.s. I like shorts too. I, ve just bought 2 new pairs of them.
Those Viktor & Rolf are the most fabulous find on earth!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a selection of "only" shorts and what a variety to wear.
ReplyDeleteGreat summer outfit.
I AM lusting after chloe's scallop shorts.
ReplyDeletemy perfect short.
All of these are greaaat !
ReplyDeleteI adore shorts! I think they're the perfect kind of sexy during hot summer days or any day really!
ReplyDeletei love high waste mini shorts :) and this is unusual coming from me...but the boys here look delish too in those teeny tiny shorts...
ReplyDeletexx-LJ from SOS!
I love the cuffed Blumarines.
ReplyDeleteUhh can't wait for the swimwear alphabet :) it was so fun the last time.
ReplyDeleteI always love your titles too, I must say. Always so creative.
And Elie Saab rocking this trend as sophisticated as always :)
Thanks for your comment CC.
And I love my new profile pic too. I actually have the issue of ELLE Italia where that Kate Bosworth editorial is from - spent big money on it, but it was truly worth it. I probably spend too much money on foreign fashion mags, but they always make me feel good ^^
Have a nice week!
i like women in the short shorts but it looks so much better whe they fit nicely to the shape of her hips, backside and thighs (just my opinion) but i really lol don't think guys should have those on lol
ReplyDeleteshorts and heels are the ultimate hotness!
ReplyDeleteQué ganas de ponerme shorts!
ReplyDeleteTus selecciones son increibles, me quedo con Blumarine, el siempre elegante Elie Saab, Isabel Marant, y el look de la última imagen,
besos guapa!
You have found the cutest shorts ever! I am actually excited for summer!
ReplyDeleteCompletely in love with the Viktor & Rolf shorts dear CC... !!
ReplyDeletethat blumarine and that last shot are amazing. I love shorts! especially paired with stockings or bare- they give your legs mileage!
ReplyDeleteI don't own a single pair of shorts. I might have 40 dresses and 20 skirts but no shorts :S
ReplyDeleteI'll get on that when I grow some legs - and when I do, it will be those Chloe scallop shorts as seen on Kate Bosworth! Love thOSE!
Oh I want new shorts! These are all so cute. I guess I should go running so I'll have more toned legs huh? haha
ReplyDeleteAt my age I can't carry off that look. :(
ReplyDeletefashionafterforty.blogspot.com
If only I didn't have such a bodacious bum.
ReplyDeleteI fully endorse a pair of hotpants with some sky high heels. I love that last look the most! Go legs!
ReplyDeleteoh i love this post of sexy shorts!!! shorts are so comfie!
ReplyDeleteLuxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

Oooh, I can't wait till the weather permits me to wear shorts! I must say I do not like those short shorts on the men--even the male models!
ReplyDeleteOoh shorts! Can't wait to start wearing some again when the weather improves. Love the Pirate print Vivienne westwood ones!
ReplyDeleteI make no qualms in saying that I’m actually looking forward to those unapologetically short shorts this summer… so I’m definitely all for the zero coverage/practically nonexistent/barely-legal attire. Lol-xxx
ReplyDeleteBut hold the phone, check out the muscles on Miss Sixty, and seriously, can Gwyneth Paltrow get any cooler.
