Lighten Up!

Let’s face it. With unlimited access to the drawing boards and premier pieces of the world’s trendiest designers, it’s no wonder we look to celebrities for style do’s and don’ts. I’m Trisha, the newest member of the Goldyn staff, and as the new resident pop culture and style expert, I am devoted to letting you in on Hollywood’s latest and most desirable trends, revealing the shopping lists of celebrity style icons, and updating you on hot new designers debuting in the celebrity circuit. With that said, let’s jump right in.

A recent summer trend I’ve noticed emerge from all the glitz and glamour are light denim pieces. With the spring’s style focusing on seventies fashion (think high waisted pants, ruffle and bow tie blouses, and rompers), the look of the time has carried on into summer fashion. Whether it’s light denim jackets, dresses, jumpers, or just jeans, the look is clearly gracing the bodies of style’s most prevalent icons.

Here Ashley Olsen is looking amazingly retro sporting a denim on denim look, with a light denim snap front shirt.


British model and style guru Alexa Chung was spotted wearing an adorable light denim dress that caused much commotion on fashion blogs worldwide. Paired with gray tights, black pumps and a black blazer, she looks so stunningly retro and hip.



Many designers are also channeling this look, such as British designer Peter Jensen and Chanel (shown above). Here model Hilary Rhoda shows off a light denim Chanel swimsuit on the cover of French Elle. Chanel has also recently come out with an extensive light denim line, featuring swimwear, mini dresses, jeans, vests, and tops.



To achieve this classic look, check out the following products:
Hollywould Allegra High Waisted Denim
Union Rose Straight Let Light Wash
575 Trucker Straight Leg Light Wash Denim

White denim and pants are also a great look for summer. This style is just on the cusp of being the next huge trend. Be the first to rock a pair!

Hollywould Allegra High Waisted Pant
Radcliffe Cropped Skinny Jean in White

What is great about this style is that while it's very 70's and retro, it can also be taken into a 90's grunge direction depending on how you want to wear it. It's chic, versatile, and a must have for summer. Indulge!

As Seen In: Sex and the City


We were fans of these gorgeous sandals by Hollywould before we saw them on the big screen, but after seeing sexpot Samantha donning them in the Sex and the City movie on the girls' trip to Mexico, they've officially gone from cute to must-have status...


What's more? You can also check them out in InStyle, featured in their Instant Style section. Apparently these embellished flats are catching more than one style editor's eye lately...

And stay tuned ladies, because next in our "Goldyn's Guide to Self Help" designer discount series is, yes, you guessed it...Hollywould at 25% off! The perfect summer sandal, a nice little discount, oh yeah.
