Trendy Tuesdays: Crazy for Crochet & Macrame


The crochet and macrame trend is EVERYWHERE this season and it is HOT beyond belief.  Macrame is knot-tying and each knot is a finished "stitch." You unravel it by untying the knots.  Crochet, on the other hand, isn't knotted like macrame; it's made from loops of yarn, created using a single hooked needle. You unravel by pulling the working yarn; the stitches are not independently finished as in macrame. It is also much more delicate than macrame.

If you don't already own a top, bathing suit, or (at the very least) an accessory made from this beautiful design, I suggest you gear up on this trend for summer.  TRUST ME on this one- you can thank me later.

Oh, I love so many things from here. My favorites are the chic and sexy swimsuits, the two pretty white dresses and the lovely light orange dress.

Gorgeous images great Summer look this season, particularly keen on the green dress. Not a look I think I could wear really looks better on the models, think I might opt for a bag.
