Fashion, like the seasons, come and go, but I surely did not expect I would try the latest rounds of cropped tops. I picked up this lovely black racerback crop top at Simply Sublime last Friday, and I pulled it out for a holiday-Monday brunch with one of my besties, Sam, visiting from out of town. These pics were somewhat hastily taken, and I forgot to snap my paint-splattered purse, a notorious item that some of my friends have called the ugliest, most hideous thing they have ever seen, while others just love it. Ah, another day.
Above: Sam and I taking a stroll on the marina walkway after brunch.
The new crop has come a long ways since the old belly-baring-low-rider days; the new school are draped, asymmetrical, cut and layered in creative ways.
Along with the crop top, I brought home a slinky gold snake - my come-hither power piece.
Layered underneath is my new multi-coloured neon, leopard print bikini from Roxy (I hit the beach later that afternoon). The bottoms are reversible. Neon has been strong all year, and I see it carrying into the next season.
As the hazy days of August meld into the first Fall leaves, we can look ahead to some exciting style trends. I was polled on Twitter by the lovely Dream Sequins on what Fall trends I'll be rocking - check out my answer here along with the results from other Twitter stylistas.
What Fall trends will you be rocking?
RIDDLED REVEALED: For those wondering, the answer to the handbag riddle in this post is....Chloe!!

I looooove that "slither hither" necklace. It's gorgeous!
And so are your shorts. So cute!
That's definitely a very wearable crop top... I still cringe when I think of the pervious incarnations, but this is very classy and I love the draping. Great necklace as well, and I love that hat on you! Oh, and now I'm definitely curious about that paint-splattered purse.. I wanna see!
@TheAnthology - thanks! you know i love snake stuff. Those shorts i felt could be a bit disasterous but it all comes together here.
@TheHaute-Shopper - yes, me too, those were the old Britney and Christina Aguilera days! I will be featuring the paint splattered purse soon =D. About the hat, i actually broke my own rule of short girls should not wear hats. I loved this one so much that I had to buy it.
Love your top and that snake necklace!
i love all the different elements of this outfit. please post a photo of this awesome/awful paint-splattered purse! i'm intrigued.
Gorgeous necklace...
I could NEVER pull off that look, but it looks great on you!
I should ask you for some styling help... I'm going to the "horse races"... an event my friend organizes every year with a group of friends dressed up in classic outfits that people used to wear to horse races.
Maybe you could help style me? Pretty please? ;)
Ok the paint splattered puse will make an appearance at some point...
@VanCityAllie - of course - that would be so fun! in fact that's such a good idea I'll write a blog post about it too. I'll dm you on twitter.
You should be on a yacht in the Med with that get up. Fabulous!
Well the real beauty is the one who do the modeling. Hi Cute will you be my blog mate?
