Ok, this first time I saw the skirted trouser trend, I thought it was odd, but this chic look is swiftly growing on me. What changed my mind? These Commes Des Garçons Vintage Skirted Trousers - LOVE! Skirted trousers were seen all over the Spring 2015 runways, but fashion chatter speculated whether we would see it on the streets. Bloggers, celebrities and models made it happen and now a new season is here and the skirted trouser trend has evolved.. Rag & Bone showcased silk dresses and knee length skirts atop tailored pants in the Fall 2015 runway show. This collection shows that layering all-over, both top and bottom is fresh and innovative.

Update your pant look and opt for skirted, wrap or apron trousers. Loose fitting pants with material wrapped, tied around your waist and landing just short of your knees or all the way to your hem are casual and cool. An apron or skirt atop your tailored pants are modern, intriguing and attention-getting. Make a fancy statement by wearing a full, ruffled skirt over tailored pants (my favorite). Happy layering..

I'm so lucky to be travelling to Santorini today and can't wait to showcase my summer vacation ensembles. I have put 'too much' thought into packing for this trip and yes, I have a laundry rolling rack for such occasions! I consider myself a master at packing and thoughtful when choosing the right apparel and accessories and these things take time. The pale scenery in Santorini brings out the desire for white apparel and lighter shades. For day I'll wear t-shirt dresses in white and mint green, and a loose fitting peach dress with beige embroidery and tassels. My evening looks include full A-line skirts with cropped bodices and tanks, fluted skirts with crop tops and one Grecian strapless dress (my favorite). The Santorini forecast is 'hot' and sunny, but I'm gonna pack silk pants and a light sweater anyways (ya never know).

My straw knapsack and hat are a must (Shopbop.com). A squishy straw beach bag saves space in your suitcase. I like small bags and will pack my mini Dolce & Gabbana Embellished handbag inside my Louis Vuitton tote (you need a larger bag for the plane). Packing small handbags inside larger ones saves a lot of room. Of course, one clutch is necessary for dinner. Pictured here: Phillip Lim Gorge Pouch - a neutral, goes with everything clutch.

Santorini's landscape is not high-heel friendly, so I'm packing flats, platforms and a pair of wedge booties (for pictures - I don't plan to walk around in them). Gladiator sandals seem fitting for Greece and just so happen to be on trend this season. Shoes pictured here: Tibi Mina Leather Slides, Burberry Prorsum Wedge Booties, Tibi Camilo Sandals, Tibi Jack Slides, Rag & Bone Kent Sneakers, Miu Miu Embellished Sneakers and Salvatore Ferragamo Jellies (for the beach). I love the sneakers and full skirts trend and my fringe Jack Slides are a great statement shoe to wear with an otherwise plain t-shirt dress.

My swimsuits and sarongs are Agua Bendita. The yellow crochet sarong pictured here is handmade (thanks mom). Coverups are a necessity for walking to and from the pool - pictured here Muche Muchette cream crochet coverup and a colorful Camilla Embellished coverup.

So there ya have it! Pale colors, white is a must and flat neutral-toned shoes. Santorini is a great location for photos, so pack thoughtfully and don your best vacation looks. I will post my 'vacation in Santorini' looks over the next few weeks..
