This must have trend for guys is everywhere for fall and almost as big as plaid...almost.
But Chambray shirts are definitely worth you making room in your closet because this trend is one that hardly goes out of style. Guys, you can wear a chambray shirt for years to come and these two are are a perfect example of slim fit, modern chambray shirts that will drive the girls crazy!

I found a little history about chambray that i thought was interesting...
Chambray was first known to be used in Cambrai, France, as early as 1595 then evolved into the comman workman's shirt in the US in the coining the term "blue collar"

A good pair of gray jeans never goes out of style.
I am loving the Gray Jean trend, which really isn't even a trend because a good pair of gray jeans never goes out of style. Each year, I find myself going back to my gray jeans and they always look so classic.
While going through my US Weekly's, People Magazine's and online gossip sites, I've noticed celebs rockin' the gray jean trend. If you haven't tried it, I think it's time. The versatility of gray jeans is amazing and they're an all year jean.

Check out Kate Moss wearing her gray jeans dressed up with a blazer and boots and also down with a casual tee and sandals.


With so many options I know you'll find a jean that you'll fall in love with.

A huge spring trend that I'm seeing everywhere is Ruffles and Lace. The great thing about this trend is that every age can wear it. It's just how you wear it.
Here are a couple great styles now at Sanity and Sanitystyle.com that fit this fun spring trend perfectly!

The first picture is of the Grey ruffle front zip dress. This is a great way to wear the ruffle trend because it's not too much ruffle. So if you have a hard time with ruffles, this is a great stepping stone and it has a band that cinches and defines your waist. Best part...it's only $68.00!

The second picture is of the Lacey trim tank. The tank has a asymmetrical hem with black ruffled lace trim. So perfect for any season because it's a really easy layering piece. $48.00

The third picture is one of my favorite pieces for spring and it's the Free People Scandalous Lace Top. This top is so versatile and looks great with fun colors worn underneath or wear it understated with a black cami or even with just a black bra if you're feeling extra scandalous! $48.00

The last and super sophisticated Sunner Florent Dress in Electric Blue will be sure to turn heads. The color is so gorgeous and the ruffles are so sweet. My favorite part about this dress is... the pockets! I LOVE a dress with pockets. 
The Sunner Florent dress can be found in thousands of celebs closets because of it's flattering fit.

As we get more fun trends in I will be posting more pieces because there is a way to incorporate every trend into your closet, you just have to be creative and have an open mind :)

Right before the weekend we received this adorable pair of shorts,  Free People Benjis Shorts and it got me thinking about *SPRING*. I know we still have some time until spring gets here, but I'm always thinking about how I can take seasonal items and make them appropriate for the season we are currently in.
So back to the shorts.
Around this time each year, I get a strong desire to wear shorts. Currently there are so many cute styles out from pleated, silky, khaki, to denim shorts. Whatever your taste in shorts, this spring/summer has many different styles to offer.
Right now in Cleveland, Ohio we have a few inches of snow on the ground and it's 23 degrees Fahrenheit, so wearing shorts with bear legs is totally out of the question, but shorts with tights is a different story! I have always wondered what other people's opinions were about wearing shorts with tights/ leggings and through out my research I have discovered that everyone has a different opinion on the matter. My opinion on the whole "wearing shorts with tights" issue is that if you can pull it off and look good, go for it! Just the other weekend I wore a pair of black satiny bubble shorts with black tights cable knit tights and booties and got many compliments. I keep it simple when I wear this combo. Making sure the material of the shorts is weather appropriate is number 1. It's probably not a good idea to wear your linen shorts in the winter, you might look a little silly.
In my quest for answers to this dilemma I came across a few celebs wearing shorts with tights and thought that they looked great and were a great example of how to wear this style.







Blake Lively is pictured here wearing a very cold weather appropriate outfit with black shorts, patterned tights, over the knee boots, a cozy blazer and scarf.

I also found a photo of Katie Holmes, who isn't my favorite dressed celeb, but I think she pulled off this outfit really well and looks great! I especially love the stirrup tights with pumps... very cool.

I have added some pictures of shorts that are arriving to Sanity in Chagrin Falls and Sanitystyle.com as we speak and the styles are so versatile and classic with an updated spin.

The first picture is the Free People Slinky Pleated Short which is a perfect example of an appropriate short to wear with tights. The satiny material  can be dressed up with patterned or solid tights, boots or pumps and a great top.
I also have the shorts pictured with a sweater so you can wear them while the weather is still cold and not freeze to death. I know, what a novel idea! :)
To dress down the look pair the shorts with a warm cable knit tight and flat boots.

I think fashion is about taking risks and breaking out of routine.
If you try the shorts with tights outfit, I'd love to see it. Take a picture and e-mail it to me at sales@sanitystyle.com
