I don’t know if we should applaud these women for keeping their nips covered, or reprimand them for trying to make “stripper chic” happen. Is it me or is there a new trend emerging? Pasties? Leggings with knee pads? I’m starting to see a pattern here! Are you more likely to don pasties or knee-friendly leggings? Let us know in the comment section!

The folks over at Fashion Indie claim that the trend for fall, is going to be leggings with built-in knee pads. But if we take a short trip down memory lane, we will realize the designer of our time already came out with this concept last year.

The knee pad leggings to the left retail for $132 and are appropriately called “Mr. President”. It almost makes you long for the days when La Lohan was kneeling her way through young Hollywood…..

Summer time calls for finding items that won’t stick to you and won’t empty your wallet. Always on the hunt for summa-time fabulosity, I found some items that will will def. make their way to my closet.

Remember the days of lower the better? I (ashamedly) admit I owned the four-inch rise Frankie B. jeans that were all the rage a few years ago. It just somehow feels wrong to have to get regular brazilian waxes because your jeans are low. Anyway, I’ve switched over to high-waisted items like this fab skirt from BCBG:

These linen shorts from Only Hearts are slashed on Shopbop.com:

French Connection is known for their frilly, feminine wares such as this ruffled dress in their 70% off sale section:

Since I’ll always be a Southern California girl, tube tops will always have a place in my heart. I’ll probably still be wearing them in the retirement home. Try this relaxed incarnation from Free People:
