Spring: Colouring Book

        Spring has finally arrived! I have been anxiously waiting for the day I get to pack up the piles of sweaters and boots that were taking over my closet and in exchange, getting to hang up all of my spring dresses and tops. There is no better feeling than making your closet just a little brighter since no one wears black in the spring (well, okay I'm guilty). One thing I adore about the springtime is the colors, like every girl, I am a fan of pastels. Yes, the girl who says her favorite color is black, loves pastels. Rose gold, lavender, and sea foam green, oh my lord. Although those are spring colors, there are many others. So, I thought what better way then to name a few other popular spring colors that you must incorporate into your outfits to create a bold, cool look. Here are a few of my favorite Spring 2016 colors, according to Pantone's Color Report.

                                                          Rose Quartz:

Rose Quartz is one of my favorites because of its elegance. It holds such a light but balanced look.When it comes to wearing a color like Rose Quartz, finding a loose blouse or a pair of trousers or pleated cropped pants would best show off this color, pair it with another bright colored apparel item to complement its bold yet fresh sweet color.

Iced Coffee:

 

 

Although I do love my iced coffee, I would also enjoy wearing it as much as drinking it. This color gives off a more gray version of a beige or ivory. It's very solid and decadent and I think wearing this color in a maxi dress or loose long pea coat would best show off its color. Pair these outfits with similar colors, when it comes to a color like this, I think wearing colors such as cream, tan, and beige would best show of its milky color.

Lilac Gray:

Lilac Gray is the new lavender this 2016, spring time is all about brightening your color palette, but it is also about darkening it as well. This lilac gray is such a soft color with a hard statement. If you were to wear something with this color in it, pick out a pair of heels or platform flats, or a floral dress to accentuate this deep color.

Green Flash:

There is nothing more about springtime than the color green! Green is everywhere, although a more difficult color to pull off, there are always ways to show off its radiance. Green Flash gives off a sense of openness and exploration so what better way to wear it than to wear this color on a pair of pleated pants or a sheath style dress.

Buttercup:

This color is as yummy as it sounds! Shades of yellow have always had a major partake in spring fashion and in color trends, but this color takes the cake. Buttercup is a color that is as shiny and bright as the sun. It's as if wearing this color takes you to a happier destination. It's glow gives off peace and contrast. In order to wear Buttercup the best, find a skirt, any style would do such as flared, circle, or even A-line. Wearing a skirt with this color will best show of its brightness with the flow of a skirt. A accessory that would be paired with this color is a messenger handbag as well.

Springtime is all about the sweet and smooth colors, but also creating a statement and imagery. There are also many more colors from Pantone's Spring 2016 Color Report shown that best express this season!

It's not New Years Eve without a new celebratory outfit

   Ok I know Christmas is coming up, and the chaos of going through the crowds at malls, or thinking of what dish you want to make for your family's annual Christmas party is taking over your life, but as any girl who loves the holiday season, they know that just in a few short days after Christmas, is the madness of New Years Eve. New Years Eve and New Years Day, to me are almost two separate holidays, both celebrated to its highest potential of course. One thing that I look forward to when New Years Eve rolls around is the biggest question of all time, "What am I going to wear?!". Bringing in the "new year, new you" cliché has always been important to me, and the perfect outfit is one of the factors in that so called cliché. I have been vigorously stalking all of my favorite clothing websites such as Nastygal.com, Windsor.com, and Forever21.com in order to find the perfect outfit and style inspiration so I can start the new year off with a style bang. So I thought, why not share some outfits for you guys to limit your options on what dress you should wear or depending on what style you are leaning towards.

 



LWD

Little Black Dresses are not the only popular going out outfit, find your perfect white mini dress with bold jewels in order to create a statement for a fun and flirty new years look.

Pants + Two Piece Crop (My favorite!!!)

 

If your not feeling a tight dress or skirt, then pants would be your next best option. Pants will give you the opportunity to find and pair with your favorite skimpy crop top (if they are high-waisted) in order to show of your curves! If the pants are bold, then find a solid and less textured top. Vice versa.

Romper

Rompers are always a yes if your trying to be more comfortable yet still dress accordingly for NYE. Find a romper with more edgy cuts, such as deep v or other cut outs. Pair a romper with statement necklace along with knee length boots or heels, open toe of

Maxi Dress

A silk maxi dress with slits would be perfect if your wanting to dress up more formally, with a bit of a more sexy look with a deep v neck and slits above the knee. Pair with your favorite black jeweled choker and heels to complete the look.

 Crop + Mini Skirt







For a more fierce and promiscuous look, pair a textured and bold crop top along with your favorite black leather mini skirt for a chic badass look. Also a colorful fur scarf would top it off for a bold and fearless outfit.

Wby? :The style of my NYE outfit that I am leaning towards is black and chic. You can never ever ever go wrong with black on any going out occasion and I have been wanting to show off my waist and curves lately, therefore from researching outfits, I have come to conclusion that I want to wear a two piece outfit. My two-piece outfit will consist of a black V neck cut crop top, along with a black high waisted pencil skirt. Now next stop: SHOES!

Have a happy holiday season and New Year!

The higher the bun, the higher to heaven

Trend Alert!

Recently a lot of my posts have been focused around clothing and accessories, but an outfit can only be complete with the perfect hairstyle. No one likes a bad hair day. So, lately I have been browsing the internet and social media, and one particular trend has caught my eye, and it was love at first sight. Over the years, we have seen buns take over, from the classic messy bun to the doughnut bun, step aside buns, there's a new sheriff in town. The high knot bun has been taking over the heads of many celebrities and fashion icons, and has made it's way through the media, and especially hit the red carpet during the American Music Awards that was aired November 22nd 2015. The high knot bun gives off a sleek posh look that anyone can pull off no matter what the weather is. Your probably thinking, what this bun looks like so I have provided a few photos to show off this hot new hair look of the fall/winter season.

Bootie-licious

Show me your Booties!

This fall season calls for your favorite pair of sandals you wore almost everyday this summer to hit the back of your closet and be replaced with those booties you've been anxiously waiting to hit the streets with. Boots can range from all sizes, whether they are over the knee (my personal favorite), knee length, or booties. Booties have become more and more popular this year as I have been seeing them on the front displays of almost every boutique and stores in shopping centers. So I thought, what better way to show you guys my favorite and hopefully they become your favorite and latest splurge of booties. Also, what you can pair the booties with to create your own trendy look for this fall.

Your flight to Chanel is ready to board

Chanel SS 2016

"So how much for a one way ticket to Chanel?"

Since New York Fashion Week is now so last week, all eyes were on Paris Fashion Week. And today, all eyes were on Chanel. Staged to be in a scene of an airport terminal, with of course hot male model flight attendants. Karl Lagerfeld completely transformed the Grand Palais into a work of art for his show. The show even carried on the theme of an airport into the designs of the clothing worn and accessories (seen below) in order to capture the whole picture. Edie Campbell, popular English model, opened the show and other models that were featured included Miss Kendall Jenner, Avery Blanchard, and Lexi Boling.

 Aside from the runway flowing with suits and dresses, were Velcro platform sandals that lit up as well as think galaxy-vibe aviator glasses worn by many of the models. The look for Chanel 2016 Spring, was more of a looser and more sophisticated styles and designs. When I look at most of the outfits worn I would do anything to jet set off in them. Aside from dreaming of walking down that runway, I would be even happy to sit in the audience next to Cara DeLevingne, Lily-Rose Depp, and hey even Lagerfeld's godson, Hudson, who happens to be taking Chanel kids by a storm. 

 

 

 

Paris Fashion Week is all about knowing that there are no limits in what you are portraying and expressing in fashion. The bigger the better, and for Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel, they blew everyone away.

Below are some more photos from the Chanel Spring 2016 right from the runway:
