Is the question? I have always been scared of shorts, true story. I am a curvier woman, so shorts can come off a little sexier than I may want. But, I get so jealous when I see women strutting around carefree in their shorts.
Summer is almost over so get it in, or wear them in the Fall with some leggings, I feel like you can still rock that style. I am thinking the best type of shorts to get are looser fitting. Hear me out, fitted can look good depending on your body type however if you share my fear, then loose in the thigh area may be the way to go. But it has to be styled right, I don’t mean some baggy homely looking shorts, I mean nicely tailored to your body shape.
I’ll let you know if I take the plunge. I have to find a pair I can really fall in love with 🙂
These are some different ways to wear your shorts, with a longer sheer top, I like that style, cut off jeans with heels, a little looser for your bike ride, or very sexy and fitted for a night out.
Fashionably yours,

Toni, Designer of Hayden-Harnett & The Fashionista
I had a chance to attend the Hayden-Harnett presentation entitled “Lava Fields of Love” with friend and designer Steven Cutting. Hayden-Harnett is a Brooklyn based business in Greenpoint. You know I love that! I was able to speak with Toni, the designer, pictured to the left. I asked her what her inspiration was for the colors and textures. She explained ” My team and I looked at natural materials, modern nomads, lava fields and barren landscapes as the inspiration for the looks.” I often have designers coming to me asking for assistance in finding investors or just wanting to know if it is feasible in this economic climate to start a line. So, from a designers point of view I asked what advice she would give new designers. She stated “That new designers should be true to their singular unique voices. People are still looking for the next new thing!” You hear that designers, don’t give up!
It was a great presentation of the line with serenading by the Opera Company of Brooklyn. Who knew Brooklyn had an Opera Company! Overall, I loved the leather bags and jackets! The color scheme was beautiful, I see purple! My fav dress was the Blake Dress in Grenadine. HOT!
