Five Spring 2016 Fashion Essentials.

Today marked the first day of Spring and nothing excites me more about a new season is the introduction of new fashion styles and trends! It's getting warmer so its time to store your sweaters away and bring out your short sleeves.

I'm bringing you guys 5 new trends that are in this season and how you can cop them in any piece of your wardrobe. Don't worry...I'm not going to say florals, because, as Miranda Priestly says, "Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking". It's typical, and Taltalsays is anything but!

So here we go, 5 spring trends that your closet needs. Shop all these looks by clicking the photos!!

1. Button Front Skirts: I love when fashion from different eras comes back into style and these skirts are totally reminiscent of the 90's. They're really fresh when paired with light tops. I personally like them in denim, but there are so many different styles perfect for all tastes.

Forever 21 Suede Skater Skirt, $37.90
Mossimo Supply Co., $19.99
H&M Twill Skirt, $29.99



2. Ring Details: I've been seeing a lot of details in clothing, handbags, and jewelry with metal rings and I think its really chic. I love them in jewelry, especially in chokers, which are also really in fashion right now. I'm loving these piece.

Air Sign LA Full Moon Choker. $120
Banana Republic Italian Vachetta Bucket Bag, $118
Rue Gembon Hadara Gold Collar, $58


3. Bold Drop Earrings: Statement necklaces are out and bold drop earrings are in! Drop earrings with pops of color are really great ways to spice up an outfit. It can also greatly compliment your makeup and bring your whole look together.


                      


H&M Large Earrings, $9.99
House of Harlow 1960 Anza Drop Earrings, $68
Baublebar Nolita Drops, $38


4. Off the Shoulder: Off the shoulder tops and dresses are a fun bohemian inspired trend that's really figure friendly and can make you look like you just walked out of New York Fashion Week. I'm excited about this trend, because when I wear it, I no longer have to worry about getting strappy tan lines!

Topshop "Livi" Off the Shoulder Top, $60
Three of Something Formlines Reservoir Top, $154
Lovers + Friends Life's a Beach Top, $139


5. Stripes: Stripes are EVERYWHERE this Spring. They're in shoes, they're in tops, they're even in swimwear! I love a good laid back, striped button down top paired with a button front skirt. Two trends in one. Try to explore colors when wearing stripes, don't just stick to black and white! I, for one, am keen on pink and white stripes.

                 

Forever 21 Lace Up Striped One Piece, $24.90
Lulu's Atlantic Seaboard Striped Black Peep Toe, $23
Forever 21 Contemporary Striped Top, $15.90



Happy spring and happy shopping everyone! 

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!

Springtime Trends.

So as a follower of trends, fashion is one of my favorite trends to follow. I scope out the fashions for each season and pick the ones are, in my opinion, the most fashion forward, ready to wear, and fun! I enjoy sharing my picks to my followers, as I have done for last summer and fall, and now I'm going to share my Spring 2014 picks.

This time, I'm going to do this a little differently. So I'll give a general statement about a fashion trend that is hot this spring and in then the picture below will show an example of the particular trend and how to include it in your wardrobe/lifestyle. So here goes!

1.  Pastel Blazers

Blazers are classic for a wardrobe, and this spring, adding a pastel colored blazer can add depth and variety into your outfit. This Straight Cut Jacket is available at H&M. 

2. Wedge Sandals

Up your shoe game with a chic heel or wedge sandal. An intricate design makes for an interesting pair of shoes that isn't so basic and one dimensional. Go for something these Leather Sandalettes from H&M.

3. Two Toned Manicure

Sticking to one nail color for your mani is SO 5 years ago. Try mixing it up by including two tones of the same color into your look. I find that its cute to use these two Essie colors: "Hide and Go Chic" and "Butler Please" to create a French Manicure look. I use Hide and Go Chic for the the base and Butler Please for the tips. These colors are available at any beauty or drug store such as Ulta or Target. 

4. Gold Plated Accents

If you know me, you know my favorite color is gold...and purple...but mostly gold. So this trend sparked my interest real quick. Adding a piece with a gold plated accent is really eye catching and chic. I've seen it done on belts, jewelry, and even on clothes. I personally love it on handbags and clutches like this The Duchess Crossbody Bag.

5. Vibrant Makeup

I love everything Marc Jacobs, so when I found out he has a new makeup line at Sephora, I was on it like white on rice! I love vibrant makeup colors for spring and I think it's a great way to include the prominent colors of the season into your look. This Lovemarc Matte Lipstick in Gossip-Matte Hot Fuchsia is a great color to do this.

6. Turban Headbands

I really love the turban look. I feel like it may be overplayed at festivals like Coachella, but in every day life, I think it brings a really nice frame to the face and adds some dimension to your look. I'm not a fan of the ones that cover your entire head, but I like the ones that are like headbands. Much like this Floral Head Wrap from Nordstrom.
