I know you all want to stay in the latest fashions so check out a few of our favorite patterned pieces in the pictures above that are available at Hand In Pocket now.

Cuffed, Rolled and Pegged Denim Trend

iT Jeans Jojo Cuffed Flood- Ink Brush ($64)

For spring and summer 2010 the top denim trend I believe everyone should follow are cuffed jeans. Pegging or rolling your jeans is classic and can truly contribute to your outfit if you follow a few HIP tips. First, make sure to wear stunning shoes when you roll your jeans because they become the center of attention. Second you need to make sure you keep proportions in control. J Brand recommends three inchs from the top of your ankle but if you are taller you may want your cuff a bit higher.

This trend is great too if your jeans are always too long when you first buy them. It is also saves you some time and frustration when deciding whether to hem your jeans for flats or heels because pegging allows you to wear them with both.

Check out the cuffed jean styles currently available at Hand In Pocket above.

The Perfect Tee

LA Made Anya V Tee in Moss ($51)

MM Couture Top with Stone Accent in Grey ($82)

Velvet Mulberry Cap Sleeve Top w/ Scooped Back in Tango ($64)

The fashion world is a fast pace place, constantly changing from season to season and year to year. Since the T-shirt has evolved from undergarments used in the 1900th century it has been altered and glamed up by many different designers over the years by changing the shape and adding more detail.

This season the t-shirt has been draped in many intricate ways. While zippers, gemstones, ruffles, lace and silk have been added in creative ways. Check out a few of HIP’s stylish tees above.

The LBD

Beau Bois Zip Dress ($101)

BB Dakota Geri Dress ($75)

MM Couture by Miss Me Strapless Bow Dress ($92)

Over 80 years ago Coco Chanel introduced the Little Black Dress to the world of fashion. The LBD never goes out of style and is a wardrobe must have for every woman. Slimming, sexy and versatile the LBD is a classic that you can never go wrong with. For me having one LBD is just not enough. I probably have ten of them in my own closet. With all the family get togethers and parties that come along with the holidays, it is the perfect time to add a new LBD to your own closet. Check out a few of the LBD’s available in the store right now in the pictures above.
