Summer 2016 is quickly approaching so ladies!! – knowing that this summer is gonna be hotter than hell and most of you won’t be wanting to wear much of anything, stay “cool” with these 2016 Summer fashion trends:
Wipe the Salt Off Your Shoulder!!
Because the “Cold Shoulder” trend wont be going anywhere and I mean just that. You will see it in every form, every body shape and every fabric you can think of. Whether it be a flowey top, a maxi dress, or a tribal jumpsuit… Bare shoulders ARE IN this Summer 2016 and I absolutely love it!!
A woman’s neckline, her back and her shoulders are such sensual parts of the body and can exude just as much sex as a woman’s cleavage or a woman’s bum lol!! I am totally here for this trend!! Here’s some inspiration from my favorite boutique ShopO2G.

Hey all you Gender Benders, I didn’t forget you…
Some of you ask what is Gender Bending? Gender Bending is a person who dresses and behaves in a way characteristic of the opposite sex, like Kanye when he’s bitching about making Taylor Swift famous or like Caitlyn Jenner who refuses to let Kris Jenner be the mother of the house lol …I’m kidding!!
Gender bending in fashion is more like these images here below.
