Girls Just Want to have Fun By, Jordan Greer


The fresh trends that have been appearing throughout Spring fashion week have given us the inside scoop as to the latest styles for Spring Break 2010! Due to the warm climate, college students must prepare their ensembles accordingly. There are some clothing pieces that are a “must” for this season!

We all know Spring Break is a great time for college girls to shed their winter wardrobes and show off stylish new summer trends by having fun, shopping for bathing suits, mini dresses, and cute but comfortable shoes. During Spring Break, it is important to build lasting relationships with your girlfriends and memories for a lifetime. Rule number one, do not bring your boyfriend with you; that is a disaster waiting to happen. Spring Break is a time to have fun and either party with family or friends. Relationships can wait until school starts back up. I am sure it is time to get your suitcase ready, so let’s begin!

Some of the latest fashion trends come from what we see on.“As consumers, we rely on what we see on MTV and BET for the latest styles for the upcoming summer.” Starting with the premiers of the classic Spring Break traditions, partying and drinking, very few items are worn during the day. However, for a night on the town, clothing is used to help consumers express their own individualism. One of the hottest college student fashion trends for this Spring Break is the little mini dress for girl’s night out.

Recently MTV showed one of the top post-feminism movies, “Sex & the City.” These four women demonstrate a sense of freedom, happiness and liberation within their environment. Despite every hardship that comes their way, their sisterhood remains intact. This movie is a perfect addition to your road trip ladies! Understanding the importance of self-fashioning is vital when out with the girls This movie can help guide your ensemble shopping with the girls casual outings, when girls just want to have fun.

In addition to the high interest generated by our Spring Break magazine edition last year, we have hired a ‘cool hunter’ to go into the top fashion districts such as Miami, Los Angeles and Panama City!

From the latest hairstyles to your shoes, we have everything covered! The outfits will be revealed on the next page. We also looked for trends on some of the top teen television programs and last month MTV premiered the movie, “Sex in the City.” All four women are independent and very fashionable. If ever there were a movie to demonstrate sisterhood “Sex in the City” would be a perfect example.

These women’s liberation marked a transition to being successful and independent. Yet, critics and filmgoers alike theorize that “Sex in the City” is a prime example of feminist backlash because these cinematic attacks upon women were indicative of male frustration and the rage over feminist gains. Yet, these women posses individualism and their own since of fashion, which gives insight to their personalities.


All women struggle with their own personal problems, however, “Sex in the City” demonstrates that anything is attainable. It is a new generation and not all women have to be settle for the traditional role as the “housewife”. These days, women are independent and all they often need is the support of self.

“Sex in the City” movie is a prime example of post feminism because it shows that women can be successful in their careers and simply have fun without being burdened by traditional roles for females. In addition, Post feminism promotes and advocates the ideologies that women are equal to men whether pertaining to social or political issues. These four women seem to find unity in their femininity and they accept that their identity is not determined in their significant other.

  1. This was a great article! I had so much fun reading it, and it brought back great memories from my spring break experiences and just hanging out with my girlfriends! Being that I wrote about the different trends in my group's "Spelman Spotlight" magazine, I enjoyed reading your incorporation of the "cool hunter" as well! Merchants of Cool was a great article to reference when discussing today's trends!
    Awesome Job :-)

  2. I really enjoyed reading this article! It reminded me of all the fun I've had on my spring breaks with my friends! The background in this article allowed me to relax and really picture myself on a vacation. Also, since I wrote an article in the "Spelman Spotlight" about trends and the impact of cool hunting, I enjoyed reading about how you incorporated the theme in your article!
