It is that time of year for spring break, so pack up your newest cutest bathing suit and head in the sunshine. New trends that are scene in bathing suits are all over all of the best social networks. Going onto Pinterest and Wanelo you will see all the new bathing suits that will huge this Spring Break and the Summer 2013.

 First Trend: Bows
Small or big bows are all over, which changes all outfits. Now bows are being found on bathing suits. Both one pieces and two pieces with bow can change a plain bathing suit into a trendy new bathing suit that you will be sure the talk of the beach. On the left, here is a red bikini that instead of plain strapless top there is a large bow that will draw attention, but won't leave you with the strange tan that you might get with some other cut outs. On the right hand side, there is a pale pink, which will bring out any tan. There is a sweetheart strapless neckline with a bow on the chest that will give you the same outline as the bathing suit top on the left.
Second trend: Vintage bathing suits! Taking back bathing suits to the originals of bathing suits. Having the halter bathing suits that are longer than your average one piece bathing suit. They mimic the ideas of Marilyn Monroe who was photographed in the white one piece that is in the left photo. The left are mainly one pieces so they are not as revealing or low cut that have been seen too. On the right you get some of the other ideas of the two piece vintage bathing suits. The bottom bathing suits are high waisted so they are not like what we see today. They are more flattering to someone who may not feel comfortable in the two piece regular bathing suit. 



Finally: Tassel Bathing Suits. Tassels are found in clothes such as tank tops and t-shirts and have been transitioned into bathing suits. On the left hand side there are the two piece bathing suits that the top part being all tasseled.

Spring is in the Air!

If anyone is like me, they are counting down the days until spring comes. Being able to put away the coats and the layer and be able to wear bright colors that just make you feel like your in a better mood. Looking at some of the trends you see a lot of bright colors paired with basic colors that make the bright colors pop.




Taking this casual wear that you can be seen in at the mall or even a fun night out with friends. Wearing skinny jeans with a light materialized long sleeve shirt. Making sure that it is not just a normal jeans and tee they add the scarf with the flower embellishment with a fun purse and leave earrings make it an it spring outfit. 



 Can someone say St Patrick's Day? Wearing these trendy pants which is colored makes all the difference these days on if you have trendiest attire.Wearing the green jeans with the flats that match with the floral prints. With brown accessories and a plain white button up it makes it casual chic and can be found on any trendy city trend setter.


 


Spring is known for weddings and graduations, where you have to dress and get ready to look your best because there is going to be a lot of photos taken. This coral dress is sophisticated and sleek all at the same time. Pairing with my favorite accessory a pair of nude platform heels. Adding some turquoise jewelry, which would seem to clash but when put together it comes together like a perfect puzzle piece. 

Coming up an appropriate spring work attire is hard. Wearing this rose colored dress that is work appropriate length dress, with a white sweater and brown boots and purse with more aqua jewelry. Anyone can be ready to hit the work place and still be able to throw off the sweater and catch a bite to eat with your close friends.

Smile, Sparkle, Shine : The Oscars 2013

The stars did nothing short of 'sparkle' on the Red Carpet for this years Oscars. The color theme seemed to be neutral colors with hints of gold here and there. One of my favorites was Amanda Seyfried, who wore a lilac halter Alexander McQueen gown. It was an organza dress, embroidered with miniature dragonflies. Majority of the dresses had stunning, intricate detail that could not be missed. Some stars definitely took a risk but they ended up being worthwhile in the end. As we mentioned in last weeks post, bright colors are trending for the spring, and there was definitely a lot of pops of bright colors shown at the Oscars. Seen in mostly shades of pink and purple, is what set these gowns apart from the rest. Styles such as peplum and cut-out accents were featured but there was definitely more ruffles and sequins. There were a couple gowns that could have been spared but overall the fashion at the Oscars this year was a hit.

High Fashion for Less

Paris' fashion week is always helpful when picking out trends for the upcoming season but do you ever wonder how to achieve these styles without paying a fortune. Here is what you should be keeping an eye on for spring. Bold patters, especially stripes, are all the rage for the spring. These designs come from well known fashion designers but you can even find them in your local mall at Old Navy. Bold, vibrant colors is another thing you will see people sporting. Basically like you are living in the 80's with hot pinks, blues, and you can even find these styles at Ann Taylor. Shockingly, leather, the more the better, is in style but in spring colors of course. Classic black and white will never go out of style, whether it be a dress or pants and shirt. Calvin Klein offers this look, for a mere $100.00, which is not overwhelming for a designer. These are definitely some important items every girl should have in her closet this spring, so you better get to the store before they all sell out!





Peace Out Winter, Hello Spring!

Blizzard Nemo came as a shock to many especially since the groundhog did not see his shadow on February 2, 2013. Anyway, you would have never guessed that the storm had just occurred seeing as majority of retailers already have their spring clothing on display. Not only do you see spring clothing, but we are also starting to see the emergence of bathing suits. Can we just get through winter first? Apparently, retailers are tired of cold weather attire already. The good news is, now its time for sales and clearance items! All the clothing you wanted this winter but did not buy because of the high price, you can now buy on sale and saw for next winter. Winter was full of awesome styles, but I'm looking forward to seeing what spring will bring. Stay tuned for what you should be looking to put in your closet for the spring and summer!

White Lace Is Not Only For Walking Down the Aisle

Watch out! The new trend too look at for is white lace. It is a spin on a classic that is usually found while walking down the aisle you are catching the trend of white lace dresses down different red carpets and local trendsetters.  Becoming something that can be found on many wedding gowns again, even though it usually is titled vintage. Short dressed that are white lace are now becoming more and more common then just a plain white dress. Giving the classic spin on a modern trend it can make a dress from semi formal to make it appropriate for any event possible. Here some well known faces that are digging into the newest trend.

 Here you see Selena Gomez at the Women of the Year Gala where she was stunning wearing a lace dress top with a flared out pencil skirt giving all the other women at the Glamour event a run for best dress.
Sophia Bush is known for being a firm believer in standing for a causing and using her fame to make the right difference in the world at a Rape Treatment Center fundraiser. Looking extremely professional and fully focusing on the charity instead of her outfit this three quarter sleeved lace gown. 

J.Lo may be getting in trouble for her style choices at the Grammy's, but here Jennifer Lopez is doing everything right for what is hot right now. Wearing this revealing lace teacup dress pairs with pointy toed heals. Good thing there was no dress code for this event because by the turn of events J.Lo doesn't seem to follow them anyway. 

Finally, Nina Debrov the good girl from the Vampire Diaries turned lace into something not so innocent. Compared to the first turn Nina wearing this to the Iheartradio event you can see that you can look sexy in a lace dress and strappy heals. 


I think white lace dresses, or even the mini dresses are a trend that may not be going anywhere and that something we should all get used to. Luckily, it is a trend that I absolutely love and fall victim to purchasing this trend.
