I’m excited to announce that I’ve installed a new page focused entirely on trends. This isn’t months out–this is what you need to go to the store, buy today, and wear tonight. Some of it will be unreasonable ($795 shoes?!), but it’s all about inspiration, people. So enjoy! Click on the tab above, or this link.
Really, it just looks like this:
When spring has sprung, people tend to think of the pastels associated with Easter and the airy summer whites you’ve missed under the weight of winter sweaters, even here in Austin. But this spring is, like much of the past year, all about color. Color everywhere, especially in strappy, sassy, flirty heels–because the simplest way to make an entire outfit pop is one eye-catching accessories, and in this case, that’s brightly-hued shoes. Thank skirt- and capri-weather for the chance to show these babies off! (Editor’s note: Don’t you EVER wear heels with shorts. MAYBE platforms. But never, ever, ever stiletto heels. Don’t care how dressy you think the shorts are. They are still shorts. And heels and shorts don’t belong together.)

The second major trend we’re seeing is STRIPES. As you strip down for spring and summer, go ahead and Stripe Down too. Stripes never go OUT, per se, but they’re more in than ever before this year. Check out some of This is Life in Austin’s fab finds below:
