Summertime Shorts

by Kian Hervey, khervey@smu.edu, @YesWeKian   Nothing says summer like a lot of leg. It's high time to buy a pair of high-waist shorts. Cinching in at the waist, the vintage sillhoute flaunts the curves of nearly every body. Leave your old cutoffs behind and make summer hotter than ever with a pair or two.   Beyond having a great shape, high waist shorts come in a variety of cuts and patterns fit for any occasion. Floral prints, scalloped hems and tailored bottoms take you from playful to professional. Contrast well with a fitted top, jacket, or casual tee or get adventrous with a denim pair too cool for school.   Summer won't know what hit it. ...

Get hungry for fun fruit fashion!   Designers are adding touches of nutrition to create a simply charming look. Levi's Made and Crafted livened up their fall collection by pinning little bananas on their sweaters. Dolce & Gabana avoided boos and tomatoes by incorporating the fruit in their fall showcase.
