4 Summer Fashion Trends: Hot or Not?

Fashion is subjective.  So many of you may love the trends I'm about to bash.  Admittedly, some of these trends have been embraced by women far younger than me, so that may be the disconnect....or maybe these looks just err on the side of tacky?  In an homage to my former blog, Hot Mama Daily, I want to know what my Everything She Wants' readers think.  Are these summer 2012 trends hot or not?

On the right woman, the cutout shirt trend can look sexy chic and not trashy.  But toned arms and un-sweaty pitts are a must.

Who wears short shorts?  Not me.  And if you do, I beg you to stop.

Please don't wear a crop top unless your belly is as flat as the model in this photo.  Or better yet, if you're over the age of eight, skip the crop tops and midriffs altogether. 

Wedge sneakers are a hipster trend for summer into the fall/holiday season, but I can't decide whether I love 'em or hate 'em.

    I love crop tops -- actually one of my fav summer trends. I think it's super cute to pair them with a high waisted skirt/shirt/pant and show a little bit of midriff.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp...
