Yep summer is rapidly coming to a close (sigh), but Indian Summer has yet to begin! And it’s a lovely time of year with many a golden opportunity to show a little leg.
Southern California dwelling has radically altered my European-upbringing-induced pre-conception about shorts and I’ve embraced them unabashedly. I love them in all shapes and styles (high waist, mini, leather, silver coated and even ruffled), so I thought it was high time for a round up post of some of my all-time fave ways to rock shorts for that effortlessly glam look.
