Trend Watch Wednesday: Short Story

Hellooooooo there. So glad you stopped by for this, another smashing edition of Trend Watch Wednesday! For the record, I'm glad you stop by everyday...it makes this blonde feel all warm and snuggly to read your sweet and hilarious comments and emails : )

Now, I know it's not exactly balmy outside and I know that some of us are still dealing with the delights of winter weather phenomena like "freezing drizzle" and "freezing fog". But that doesn't mean that we Blonde Ambitioners can't prepare for warmer weather in advance.

So, instead of wanting to punch that hater Punxsutawney Phil in his cute, furry face, let's all just look at this additional 6 weeks of winter weather as extra time to score a fantabulous spring wardrobe.

....starting with shorts.

You might want to go ahead and cash in that gift card to your local fitness center A.S.A.P. because ladies, the shorts this spring are short.

But, ohhhhhhhh they make me excited!

My faves so far are these from Gap, which I found last night online. I'm loving how they created a really cool, rustic look with the suede ankle boots, too.

For dressier shorts, designer Vanessa Bruno has done it right. These two looks would be perfect for a fun night out with the girls or a date with your main squeeze.

Of course our friends at J.Crew never disappoint, either. Model Erin Wasson shows off some of the seasons best short-shorts for their Spring 2010 online catalog.

F.Y.I.-Gucci does shorts, too. These would probably cost 2 months of rent, but they're fab, nonetheless.

Remember the skort? Oh yeah, it's back, too. Hermes said so.

Alright so, more big news today! Get excited.
