Spring 2015 Fashion.

Even though it's March, it still feels a lot like winter! But fashion doesn't stop for the weather. Spring fashion this year is on full blast and I'm here to give you all my tips on 2015 springtime trends.

Spring is usually about florals, but how cliche is that? I'm giving you the ultimate fashion forward trends seen from New York Fashion Week, observed street style, and new arrivals in stores. I've scouted these trends at affordable prices so even the thriftiest of fashionistas, like me, can strut their springtime style.

1. Bucket Bags. Bucket bags are all the rage this season. I've seen them everywhere from Forever 21 to Old Navy, but I'm really loving this Vince Camuto Lorin Drawstring Tote available at Nordstrom. 

2. Sleeveless Turtleneck Dresses: It's spring, but the weather is still a little cold so sleeveless turtleneck dresses are the perfect medium to both keep a little warm and cool off. Plus, they are so chic. I found this cute burgundy one available at Miss Selfridge.

3. Jelly Shoes: The 90's are back with this trend! Jelly shoes are super adorable and having them in a bright color makes them vibrant and fun for a nice brunch outing. These pink jelly sandals are a perfect example and they are available at Top Shop.

4. Beachy Waves: Effortless loose waves are in over perfectly coiffed hair nowadays and TRESemme's Perfectly (un)Done sea foam spray gives the perfect wavy hairstyle and is available at most drug stores and Ulta.

5. Chunky Chains: I'm really into this Diana Broussard inspired chain necklace. I actually fell in love with it while watching Kristen Taekman on the Real Housewives of New York! This necklace can be found at H&M.


6. Brightly Muted Nail Polish: These might seem like two contradicting words, but here's what I mean by it...pastel colors are a staple of spring, but to amp up the volume this season, use bright colors that have a muted undertone like this OPI Is Mai Tai Crooked peachy orange color. OPI's new Hawaii collection has nail polishes with the perfect brightly muted colors.



Happy shopping, followers!

Summer Fashion.

Memorial Day has gone and passed and that means...its summer! To me, summer is a time to have fun with fashion and take some risks. So I've compiled some trends that I think are prominent this summer season. These trends are fashion forward and fun and can be incorporated in your wardrobe in so many ways. Here are some examples with descriptions followed....

1. Chains

Chains are back! But I'm not talking like 2 Chainz, pop rapper status...Short chains are the jam, and I like ones like this one found at H&M that have a different design than ordinary 2 link chains. I think this statement piece pairs well with a pastel colored blouse or a denim jacket.

     2.   Kimonos

Kimonos have somehow made their way from Japan to the US, and I'm loving it! Especially with some fringe on the sleeves. It's a cute piece to throw over shorts and a tank for a casual lunch or even a festival. I personally like to wear a kimono as a swimsuit cover, so perfect for pool parties this summer. This kimono can be found on Polyvore.com.

     3.   Metallic Tattoos 

Remember when you were 12 and thought you were so cool getting those temporary tattoos from vending machines? Well, this is way cooler than that. Summer is a time to bare a little more skin and adorning your body with these cool gold and silver metallic tattoos are so much fun! This pack of metallic tattoos is from Forever 21 and has pieces to tattoo as a necklace, bracelet, anklet, or ring.

     4.   Orange Hue Makeup

Orange is the new black, people! This season, incorporate orange hued makeup into your look. But be careful...accent your makeup with orange in just ONE element of your makeup, not all of it. For example, I like adding a pop of orange to my lips with this MAC lipstick "Lady Danger", available at MAC stores or Nordstrom.

     5.   Thick Strappy Sandals

I'm loving sandals with thick straps this season. It's a plus when they are two toned. These are a fabulous find from UrbanOg.com.

    6.    Geometric Shapes

Geometric shapes on clothing were all over the runway for this season. You can incorporate it into any piece of your outfit. I like it on this small purse from Zara. It includes a pattern of hexagons on a really trendy mustard color.

    7.   Long Vests

This piece kind of look like they made a comeback from the 80's, but I think they are really chic and fashion forward. I love this white draped vest from Forever 21. I would pair it with dark jeans and a fitted crop top.
