See you in the arena

Well, where should I start... I think a lot of you already know that gladiator sandals are a huge trend this summer. But I still want to dedicate a trend-post to the 'gladiator's'! We all know what gladiators are, so I don't have to explain that. If you don't know what they are: shame on you! Go google it. Ashley & Mary-Kate Olsen wore gladiator sandals already last year. Ashley went for the ankle-sandal, while MK went knee-high. Now A. and MK. were spotted with gladiator sandals, other celebs couldn't stay behind and soon whole female-hollywood started to follow this trend. The result of all this? Gladiator sandals are taking over the world this summer!

Rocking the black blazer

We can thank Coco Chanel for giving us the perfect jacket to top everything from skirts to jeans. A great blazer or jacket can dress up any outfit and protect women from blasts of overzealous air conditioning systems everywhere. Blazers aren't just for schoolgirls or bank tellers. Whether you are going to work, a club, a soccer game, or the theater, your blazer can dress up your jeans, skirt, pants, or cocktail dress. A fashionable blazer can take the place of a sweater on a cool night. Check out ShopWiki for some 'how to fit'-information.

Fringe fever

A fringe (or bangs in the United States and Canada) is the front part of the hair, cut to hang or curl over the forehead. Hairstyles that feature fringes or bangs have come and gone out of fashion as frequently as other hairstyles, and they can be worn in any number of styles. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, poofy, curly, teased fringes were in fashion. In 2006, the fringe saw another massive revival as a hair trend, this time thick, deep and blunt-cut. But it looks like 2008 is gonna be another fringe-year. The 2008 fringe is different. You could call it an out of bed-fringe: it's kind of messy, but at the same time you can make it look chic.

Go horizontal

In the world of fashion, almost everything is recycled. That hot new trend you've latched onto probably isn't new - it just found its way back to the crowd. Although stripes never really been away from the streets, they are back. We've already spotted stripes on the catwalk last year but now it seems like everyone is going crazy for the 'horizontal-things'.

Hollywood loves cut-offs

It's more comfortable than a mini-skirt/dress and it's perfect for all occasions: say hello to the cut off jeans! Wear them sporty like Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan or wear them rebel chic with a blouse and leather sandals. Just take an old pair of jeans and cut them to the length that works best for you. Or go to salvation army and buy used jeans and cut those. For more tips, go to: 'How to make denim shorts cut off shorts'
