Lately every time a celebrity or fashion blogger stops me in my tracks, they are inevitably wearing Alice and Olivia, a coveted brand that's always pushing the style envelope while still being totally girly and whimsical. One look at Taylor Swift's daring Alice + Olivia high-waist lace shorts ($295, Nordstrom.com) and you can see what I mean. Her gorgeous graphic black and white bottoms are definitely unique but the lace short trend is something we can all attempt. The trick to making these borderline boudoir bottoms look daytime appropriate is to pair them with a demure top (think longsleeve) and chic flats for day. Ready to try lace shorts for yourself? Check out my 10 picks below, starting at just $13!

Pom pom shorts keep popping up in my Pinterest feed and there's something so irresistible about this adorable trim on printed shorts for summer. Even the word "pom pom" is fun to say (go ahead, try it!) And of course everyone was buzzing about the pom pom shorts in the sold-out Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection (get them on eBay). Fortunately there are plenty of other options out there, from Gypsy 05's $105 pair at Revolve Clothing, to the "look for less" I spotted for $39.90. Can you guess which pair above costs more?

I'll cut right to the chase: You are going to LOVE this pleated tank dress by Mossimo. The problem will be choosing just one color because all the options - blue marker, peach cheek, pomegranate pink and black - are amazing! The price is, too, just $24.99. The tiered styling reminds me of a Halton Heritage dress all the celebs were wearing a couple seasons ago...it's chic and flattering on many figures. You could dress it up with heels or flat sandals for so many summer occasions.
