Spring Trends to Love

Spring is just around the corner bringing us warmer temperatures, and of course, spring fashion trends. This is why I wanted to bring you my spring trends recap. What will spring 2016 bring in terms of style? Read on to find out.  I’ve got all the runway trends along with pieces that you can try at home! Check them out and be sure to let me know what you think in the comments section! Are you ready for spring trends?

Cold Shoulder- Cold shoulder cut outs were on almost every runway during Spring 2016 fashion week, which is why I think they’ll definitely make their way into your closet this season.

To rock a cold shoulder cut out, check out this ASOS Border Lace Cold Shoulder Dress. It’s got a boho vibe with just the right cold shoulder detail. I am loving this new trend. It’s flattering yet creates some unique shapes and silhouettes which is exactly what I love in a fashion trend. 

Spring Stripes- Designers like Stella McCartney, Dior and Tommy Hilfiger incorporated stripes of all sorts into their collections. Wide, thin, horizontal, vertical, so expect to see plenty of stripes in stores this spring.

Street Wear– Collections were chalk full of bomber jackets, sweat pants and sneakers. Just check out this look from Rag and Bone’s collection below. 

Canadian Tuxedo- Expect to see denim-on-denim looks this spring. Remember, to rock a denim look, you’ve got to focus on pairing different shades.

Rules to Wearing Ripped Jeans

Ripped jeans can make you look like a style maven, that is, if you can pull them off. Sometimes ripped jeans can create a sloppy effect to your outfit. When I see a pair of jeans that are too ripped or paired with too many accessories, a part of me cringes. It’s time to wear your ripped jeans with style. It’s all about wearing the right pair with the right accents! Read on to find out my tips on how to rock the perfect pair of ripped jeans. 

Be sure to let me know what you think in the comments section. Are you a fan of ripped jeans? Let me know!

 

 

We don’t need to see a whole area of your leg through your jeans. I love an edgy look, but cleaner rips seem more believable and look chicer. My ripped jeans pick? JCrew Factory Astor Wash Boyfriend Jean. They’ve got just the right wash and subtle rips to make you look edgy but classic at the same time.

 

Over accessorizing with a pair of ripped jeans looks messy. Keep things simple with a blazer or a fitted top. It’ll give your outfit that classic appeal while making you look fabulous at the same time.

 

Focus on a key accent or accessory like a belt or some statement jewelry. I love the western style belt below. It’s exactly what you need to style your ripped jeans to perfection.

 

Roll your jeans to create a neater silhouette that’ll look great with a pair of pumps or boots . I love wearing boots  with rolled up jeans

Street Style from Milan Fashion Week

We look to Milan for the best in Italian designer wear, Vibrant styles and mod designs ruled the runway this season, but my eyes were on the pre and post catwalk looks worn by fashionistas all over Milan. Left and right girls were rocking looks so unique and trendy, they made you do a double take. I’ve compiled some of the best looks below. Check them out and be sure to let me know what you think in the comments section! Which look is your favorite?

I’m loving the bright yellow outfit below. I could see those boots being an homage to the late great David Bowie. Either way, it’s definitely the type of look that’ll get you noticed..

 

Way to layer! Love all the unique textures and patterns that came together to create this look. Add a some giant sunglasses and you’ve got the perfect Milan Fashion Week look.

 

 

Would you rock a turtleneck beneath a dress? The fashionista below did and to great results. Her mod look is too on-trend to not love.

 

Those bright colors and patterns really make a statement. I’m definitely coveting that fur red jacket. It’s bright, fun and funky all at the same time.

With NYFW comes amazing style from celebrities and show-goers alike. Every fashionista the world has to offer comes out to celebrate the next season’s newest trends.

Check out all the looks below and be sure to leave me a message in the comments section. Which is your favorite look?

The main style staple at fashion week? Textured outerwear. It seemed as though everywhere you turned there was a velvet, fur or shag jacket. Check out the shag coat on the fashionista below. She paired it with a yellow and black button down dress. 

It’s all in the details when it comes to fashion week, which is one of the reasons I love the jacket below. It’s such a cheeky statement. It’s all about having fun with style during fashion week. 

I love the striped dress below. She paired it with a simple white jacket and black boots. It’s a unique look, but one that pays off. 

Fashion week always gives me the best styling ideas. To create some unique texture, wear a pair of lace stockings under ripped jeans. The lace comes out in all the right places. Just check out the look below for inspiration.

The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Getting Styled up

Are you the girl who prides herself on getting dressed in 5-10 minutes flat? If spending undue time getting ready isn’t your thing, you may shrug away from fancy events, which take a little extra time to pull off in the style department. They don’t have to! Don’t commit to spending excess time pondering your wardrobe for the next show-stopping event. Alternate 2 or 3 of these choice pieces to look totally put together in minutes. 

Red may be the go-to color for some, but the sky’s the limit when it comes to lip colors. Use what works for you, whether it be fuchsia, coral, or Bordeaux. All of these shades can scream, “Totally put in effort”! 

 Make a statement with a Necklace

The right clutch can transform a look into going-to-prom appropriate to walking-the-runway style. Sure, you can always opt for a simple rolled clutch in satin. But, where’s the fun in that? Instead, buy one or two clutches that really connect with who you are whether that’s funky, retro, or classic feminine.

Pulling your hair together can really make the difference in wearing a nice outfit versus actually looking “dressed up”. A sleep pony, a chignon, or bountiful waves can all add oomph to your look in just a few minutes.
