Fashion trends in the spring and summer, when the flowers begin to bloom and the weather gets a tad warmer are so much more fun than your winter fashion trends. While there are many, many trends this season, I will tell you my top picks and how to wear them. Let’s just say that skin is definitely in this season!
Neutrals
Get naked (no pun intended) this season! Try to incorporate a nude shade in your wardrobe for day as well as evening – think skin-tone. Best of all, neutral shades can be paired with everything and anything from brights and prints to basic black. You should especially splurge on a neutral accessory such as a handbag or cork wedge sandal. The shade is effortlessly classic and goes with everything.
Peek-A-Boo
This style is truly for the daring. With material such as mesh and lace and strategically placed cut-outs, the look is undeniably edgy. Dark shades are incorporated into many Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Rodarte and Preen pieces this season, which show off a bold and sexy silhouette.
Feathers
Feathers are a fun and feminine touch to both clothing and accessories. You could pair a funky headband with a bright feather as a nice touch to a boring outfit, or you could pair a feather print blouse with destroyed skinny jeans and a few bracelets for a bohemian look. Feathers are definitely springlike and are a great alternative to floral prints! You can find several great feather patterns by Sweet Pea.
Can’t wait to begin shopping for this season’s pieces? Check out my favorite trend focused site and get inspired by your favorite celebrity’s style!
www.vintagefringe.com - The most chicest and unique online boutique! The site focuses on designs that incorporate feminine details on their garments as well as vintage finds, perfect for the ultimate girly girly! You can shop by color, price, size and brand. There is also a huge selection of comfy cotton pieces from my favorite brands such as Ella Moss, Splendid and Velvet by Graham & Spencer.

Laurie B. Rumba Cardigan
The sweater is another fashionable essential this fall. Since fall can be cool one day and freezing the next I would recommend a lightweight sweater and a thicker layering sweater. For the lightweight sweater this season I have fallen in love with the Laurie B. Rumba Puff Sleeve Sweater. This sweater can be worn so many different ways. Pictured here unbuttoned and over a tank top you can wear it in warmer weather too. In cooler weather, we love to wear it over a long sleeved shirt. The snap in the front makes it possible to wear it open or closed. My favorite detail are the pockets in front. I love also that it comes in classic black and a sweatshirt grey.
Splendid Cotton Stripe Cardigan
Another fashionable sweater that I love to wear on those chilly fall days is Cotton Stripe Long Sleeve Cardigan from Splendid. This sweater has the adorable thick stripes that look great with denim pants. This sweater is more flattering than most chunky sweater wraps because the collar gets wider closer to the face. We love the tie around the waist too giving it a flattering fit.
Best of all both of these sweaters are currently on sale. What do you think? What are your favorite sweaters? Post a comment and let us know.

Splendid 8 Button Cardigan
It’s an undeniable and unexpected fashion trend that has become a must have for every wardrobe…the long cardigan. Today’s cardigans are not the cardigans we used to see on Mr. Rogers or your Grandpa, they are actually the perfect layer for almost every occasion. Some of our favorite summer/fall cardigans have more of a lightweight feel than a jacket and are certainly more versatile. Cardigans can also be paired with so many accessories from scarfs to leggings to skinny jeans.
At Vintage Fringe we have numerous cardigans to choose from. My favorite cardigan is Splendid’s 1×1 8 Button Cardigan. What I love about this cardigan is the waist band at the end of the long cardigan. This added detail flatters every body. I can wear this cardigan anywhere with anything. I actually wear this cardigan every time I fly because it is the perfect fashionable and lightweight layer that can cover some of my midsection flaws and let’s be honest, most of us have a few flaws we would like to cover up.
Splendid Cotton Bamboo Cardigan
Another favorite cardigan I also adore is the Cotton Bamboo Short Sleeve Cardigan also by Splendid. What I love about this cardigan is the added seam detail which is so hot this season as well as the flared cut to the short sleeves that actually slims the look of my arms. This cardigan is fun to wear and especially with the pocket detail that only looks cute with a cardigan this length.

Velvet Brand Clothing consistently incorporates simple feminine details in many of their fabulous tops and the Piree top is no exception. This amazing top features a wide V neck with an empire waist. Nothing novel about that, but we love the feminine rouching detail around the bust on this top and around the side seams around the body of the top. Part of Velvet by Graham and Spencer’s Gauzy Whisper collection, we love the soft, cotton fabric and the fact that it is machine washable! These tops are also perfect because they won’t break the budget. At $75 this top is an economical addition to your spring wardrobe. With 3/4 length sleeves this top is also perfect for those warm spring days. We also love the colors available at Vintage Fringe in Bracken (Green), Magnolia (Purple as shown), and Black.
Velvet Brand Clothing Piree Top
Our priority at Vintage Fringe is finding tops like the Piree top from great designers like Velvet Brand Clothing, Sweet Pea, Ella Moss and Splendid who all consistently manage to find amazing fabrics and patterns and weave them into great styles and designs with feminine details. In the current economic environment, there is nothing better than finding a versatile top like the Piree from Velvet by Graham and Spencer that looks great with jeans or under a blazer to the office. Velvet’s feminine style clothing certainly fits the bill with practical, easy to wear fabrics, great colors, versatile styles with feminine touches that make every outfit feel amazing while looking stylish and distinctive.

Be sure and check out some of our personal favorites like the Laurie B. Moonlight Cap Sweater shown here in Pink, but also available in White, Black and a Frosted Navy Blue. We love this sweater because it is the ultimate in distinction giving you that fashion forward look.
We also love the Laurie B. Emmy Cardigan featuring that ever popular trend of long sweaters with buttons at the top rather than at the bottom. We love the look of this sweater over a long sleeve top or turtleneck and even with leggings. Available in Brown, Sky Blue and Green this sweater is a great addition to any closet.
Laurie B. Emmy Sweater
Switching gears a bit, we also love Splendid’s Textured Rib Long Sleeve Hoodie. This sweater is the ultimate in versatility. It would be adorable over a swimsuit and is also fabulous over a long sleeve top. It has just enough opacity to it to give it a sheer look allowing you to mix it up with different colors underneath if you choose.

Splendid Clothing is known for their stripes, but we think this cotton stripe long sleeve tie cardigan is unique from their normal cotton striped tees. There is also nothing better for this crazy cold winter weather than a long wrap cardigan sweater. The thick, wide collar is a great feature for this very reason. We love the tie around the waist complete with loops on the sides to hold it in place.
Splendid Cotton Stripe Long Sleeve Tie Waist Cardigan
The stripes are also signature Splendid. We love the contrasting colors of ivory and coral too. This Splendid cardigan sweater is a perfect piece to replace your standard cardigan that you throw on in the winter to keep warm at home or at the office. Splendid even takes it up a notch with a vivid stripe pattern so it will certainly freshen up your old basic cardigan wardrobe. So we’ve given you the run down of why we love it, but we would love to get your thoughts about it as well!

As we’ve previously mentioned, we love Splendid Clothing for their fabulous fabrics and patterns, but we would be remiss if we didn’t discuss one of our favorites of their styles their Cotton Slub French Terry. We love this Cotton Slub French Terry Hoodie and in the current temperatures it is perfect for layering over a long sleeve top. We love the empire waist and the tie to keep it as loose or as fitted as you prefer. While it is technically a dress, in these cold temperatures this would be super cute over leggings or jeans and we love the length. It does fit roughly mid-thigh so it would truly be perfect with leggings. Plus we think you could wear this Splendid hoodie for sure in Fall/Winter/Spring giving you more bang for your buck in the current economic environment.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Splendid Clothing if the fabrics weren’t fabulous too. The cotton slub french terry is a soft sweatshirt fabric and it is truly soft. It is naturally machine washable and easy to care for. Best of all it is super comfortable. You’ll love wearing this top just about everywhere! Available in a great color, Parsley (Green), it is a great piece to help us each create our own distinctive individual style.

Splendid Brand clothing is known for their fabulous fabrics, but also for their hip, stylish patterns. One of our favorite patterns is the black rose pattern featured on this ivy green empire waist v neck top. Such patterns are yet another great tribute to vintage styles. This pattern is more subdued than the aforementioned twist on the animal print by Sweet Pea, but for that feminine, stylish look, you can’t go wrong with this classic top by Splendid Brand Clothing. Speaking of patterns, what is more feminine than roses?
Splendid Clothing
We love the additional feminine touches Splendid adds including the contrasting pattern on the v neck, the cuffs, and the hem. Nothing is more feminine than an empire waist. We like the fitted look created in this top, a slight contrast from many modern empire waist tops with looser fits. The black rose print combined with the ivy green color also creates a distinctive contrast. Green is currently such a popular color this season as are good patterns. Last, but certainly not least, this top is extremely comfortable and we love the length of this top. Depending on your body type, this type typically falls below the hips.
In short, we love the feminine pattern, the style and the color another fabulous piece by Splendid!

Splendid Clothing
Vintage style has a host of meanings to different people. In an effort to dispel the myth that vintage style refers to old lady clothes, at Vintage Fringe we have found many vintage styles that are far from matronly or stuffy. One such example would be a new top from Splendid’s fall line that to us exemplifies timeless vintage style. The vintage example a sweatshirt worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s looks adorable on her (no surprise there).
Timeless Vintage Style
We couldn’t help but notice the similarity between this top and a couple of our new arrivals from Splendid.
They both even feature that classic sweatshirt V stiched in the center. Of course at Vintage Fringe, we love the little details like that which bring meaning to the Fringe in Vintage Fringe. In our opinion, the Splendid version is more sophisticated. The newer versions from Splendid also feature a few distinctions such as flared cuffs and a more fitted look, but we’re sure you will agree that both of these tops pass the test of being timeless. Not to mention that once you wear the Splendid top, you will be truly amazed by the luxurious feel of the fabric.
We find that such timeless tops will last beyond the quickly changing fashion fads. As this vintage style illustrates, such pieces will never go out of style. Plus when you feel the fabric you really won’t want to live without this top.
We currently have the Splendid Boatneck Long Sleeve Top available as shown in Coal (Dark Grey) and Russet (Orange).
