10 Fashion and Beauty Trends for Summer ’09

Here’s a peek at ten trends you’ll love this summer!

Turquoise

For summer, jewelry designers are taking tropical-chic to another level with luxurious gold and silver pieces highlighted with colorful, beachy turquoise accents.

Woven

Whether you’re lounging at the local beach or sunning in St. Tropez, the bag of the moment is stylish enough to take anywhere, and has room for all your leisure-time essentials.

Action

You’re in for one thrilling summer with flicks like Fast and Furious, Star Trek, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen scheduled for release!

Butterflies

Designer runways were fluttering with them and you’ll also see these lovely winged creatures on anything from clutches to candy this summer. Try a dramatic chandelier with dozens of porcelain butterflies dancing over your head!

For Her and Him

The newest unisex fragrance to pop up is by perfumer Bond No. 9, so you can expect it to be nothing less than spectacular! This one is a spicy-woody scent with cardamom and cedarwood, but notes of grapefruit and juniper add a refreshing twist.

Electric

Look on the bright side with summer’s must-get fashion and accessories. Bright pinks, blues, yellows, and greens look festive and fresh, and work well for day or night. Pucci would approve!

Ripped

Go for a little rip here and there, or pick jeans with nearly-shredded knees, just get on board with this hot summer trend for both guys and girls.

Exaggerated Embellishment

From wooden beads, colorful jewels, and shiny studs to ruffled leather, oversized flowers, and giant bows, summer’s most eye-catching shoe styles are fabulously over the top!

Jumpsuit

Designers finally got it right! Luxurious silk is a chic nod to 1970s disco that works perfectly for evening, while breathable cotton is the ideal, no-fuss look for days when getting out the door seems impossible.
