Cuffed or high-waisted, micro or long, shorts are HOT for SS ’09! And the Resort 2010 collections showed similar styles, so these babies have legs!

  10. After a few summers of not really liking to wear shorts, this summer they are definately back 9at least for me). I don't think I've worn shorts this much since junior high. Definately a huge part of my summer style.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I do need one pair of shorts at least.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I desperately want those Catharine Malandrino Bubble Shorts. And those Madison Marcus Metamorphosis Shorts remind me so much of a pair of Chloe's that I have been coveting for months; thus, I'll take them too. Love this post!

  13. Still waiting for the weather to cooperate with summer wardrobe!

  14. Love the Jcrew shorts...pondering them myself!

  17. I am looking for one of those!

  18. I love shorts, especially those striped ones! Not a huge fan of the tap-pant style ones, though...Have you seen that picture of Whitney Port wearing tap pants and a cropped t shirt? Usually I admire her risk-taking, but this was ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I just bought some joes shorts yesterday! Need to tan up and tone up haha!

    Happy Friday CC! XOXO

  20. Love all but the horizontal stripe shorts by JCrew. That is one part of the body most women are trying to look thinner and they put horizontal stripes there! yikes!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I can't wait to get into some fun shorts weather! I love these! Thanks for the ideas :)

    ReplyDelete

  29. i have always been thoroughly obsessed with paper bag waists and shorts are much easier to pull off than pants and skirts

    ReplyDelete
  30. I have to say, I stopped wearing shorts a few years ago because I stopped liking my legs. Now I am back on the shorts wagon...LOVING the nautical shirt girl with the crazy gorgeous red sandals...VOGUE 2006- my gosh girl, you are quite resourceful!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Great selection! Now I'm going to do some gymnastic...I need it in order to be able to wear shorts:)

  34. Is it possible to be in love with a picture? If so, I'm in love with that 1st picture. The outfit she's wearing is amazing.
    I'm not a huge shorts wearer, but I recently got a nice pair which I can't wait to wear.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Still don't own a pair of shorts! That doesn't mean I'm not looking though, but I think only the Life With Bird silk paper bag shorts, would be flattering on moi :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wish the cloudy days would go away here in the SF bay area...wanting to pull the shorts back out again.

    Particularly love that Brian Reyes print.

    ReplyDelete

  44. i think i always play it safe when i wear shorts.. i really like those baggier styles but i don't know if i can pull it off! darn it! i should just go try them on!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Shorts are the epitome of summer style. I love the diverse range of takes on shorts. Although I am not sure how well those dinner shorts would go over (I guess it depends on the accessories and makeup, etc.), I love the Catherine Malandrino bubble shorts. The theory walking shorts are great and simple, I also like the Helmut Lang draped shorts.

    ReplyDelete
