Popular on the spring 14 runways, Culottes have made a re-entry for spring as a must-have item for this season. The retro gentleman inspired shorts have taken on a feminine twist and contemporary cut. I've had this pair for almost a year but didn't find the perfect opportunity to wear it until a sunny day in sweet Jamaica. Oh how I miss you! (click to expand)

A favorite style technique of mine is mixed prints. Here I styled the culottes with a H&M striped top and light floral blazer. A basic striped tank acts as a classic; it's a great complement to different patterns, prints and solids. Nude strap sandals are very versatile and can easily switch from day to night. My Chanel J12 watch, Gucci Soho Disco bag and mixed metallic rings completed the look.
