Spring Trends

Hello fashionistas!

I was in yoga tonight trying to come up with an idea for a blog post (because what else would I be doing while in the midst of a weird pose) and I decided that I would talk about some of my favorite trends for spring.

Black and white is a huge trend for spring. It is all about playing with contrast, light versus dark. You can do it in a feminine way with lace or you can keep it bold and basic. 

Bold stripes are another big trend. They are easy to wear because you can mix them with other patterns (scarves, pants, jackets) or you can keep them plain. The best part is that you can find tons of different colored striped shirts. I really like the boat neck top above because of the contrast that the bright yellow brings to the stripes. 

Pantone's color of the year, Emerald, is still going strong. Emerald is a color that looks good on a vast variety of skintones. You can go for a daring look with an all emerald dress or you can accessorize with emerald, the choice is yours. 

Pattern pants and skirts are also another trend this year. I actually love the polka dots pants (very similar to a pair that I picked up from Old Navy) because they are a small enough that they do not overwhelm an outfit. The patterned skirt is light, feminine, and is a great pop of color. 

Structured blazers are in again- as if they ever went out. I loved this white blazer, so I thought I had to add it to my trends list. Another trend this season are floral blazers. 

Don't cringe with fear over this next trend.. Blue eyeshadow is back! I'm not bold enough to wear an entire look of blue eyeshadow, but I am more than willing to line my lashes with a blue tone. If you are more daring then feel free to go full steam ahead with this trend.

The last trend I'm going to talk about is the matte lip trend. I love red lips because they are a timeless makeup trend, so obviously I'm on board for more people wearing it! Just make sure you put on a lipbalm before applying the lipstick or else you will end up with dry lips. 

If you guys do not like a trend remember to always stay true to you. That's my number one fashion rule. 

Any trends that I didn't mention that you guys are head over heels for? Let me know!

Loads of love!

Guest Post from Camille: 3 Trendy Dress Looks in 1 Post

Hello Ladies!

Today I will be filling in for Savannah while she is on a well deserved vacation with her family. My name is Camille and you can visit me over at I am Never Naked. I know Savannah loves to wear dresses and has a lot of them so, I decide I would follow suit and show you how I'll be wearing three of my favorite summer dresses.

The first is a very trendy Hi-Lo style dress. Don't let it fool you though I am just under 5 feet so imagine my surprise when I tried this on and it fit perfectly! I love the two neutral colors in this dress I had a hard time deciding weather I was going to pair it with neon or this look here. I ultimately went with this because it has more of a daytime feel to it.

Dress, Heel, Belt- TJ Maxx; Bracelets- Forever 21, JC Penney

For this second look I used a convertible dress as skirt to give off a boho vibe. I have really been in to the boho style recently and I'm going to blame it all on the summer. I adore this lace vest and the texture it adds to this outfit.

Skirt, Wedges, Bracelets, Belt & Vest- TJ Maxx; Tank- Old Navy; Necklaces- Macy's, Charlotte Russe

I'm not one for themed outfits outside of Halloween and Ugly Sweater parties, but I was feeling a little patriotic with 4th of July right around the corner so, I had to throw this in mix! 

Dress, Belt- TJ Maxx; Shoes, Necklace- Charlotte Russe 

Thank you all for stopping by!

Guest Post from Lonnaliz: How To Style Your Basic Dress

Hello lovelies my name is Alonna and today I'm guest blogging for Savannah while she's on vacation. I decided to do a post about changing up your basic dress. 

Sometimes I feel like solid colored dresses are more useful than the printed ones we are all usually drawn to. Plain/basic dresses are like a blank canvas. You're free to accessorize how you want without fear of over doing it or clashing patterns.

I'm going to give you some tips on how to make those solid, basic dresses the center of your wardrobe and to increase the amount of stylish ensembles that you can make with them.

Some of these tips might be no brainers, but oh well!

Dress 1 - H&M Dress 2 - J.Crew Dress 3 - Urban Outfitters

-Pair it with an exciting bag.

-Wear it with a statement necklace.

-Add a schnazzy scarf.

-Spiffy it up with a tailored blazer.

-Wear a colorful scarf as a belt.

-Try a pair of shoes you wouldn't normally wear with the dress. (Converse, sandals instead of heels, heels -instead of sandals, whatever)!

-Put on a pair of contrasting colored shoes.

-Trade dresses with a friend, hehe.

-Wear it with a summer-y vest

-This may resemble an old woman too much if paired with the wrong dress, but add a brooch or pin.

-My personal favorite, wear it over a button down, flannel, long sleeve shirt, or chambray button down.

-Add a cozy cardigan for a relaxed look.

-Toss an old button down (chambray, plaid, an old work shirt of your dad's/boyfriend's/brother/s) over it for a different look. Don't forget to belt it to keep your shape!

-Printed belts are a great way to jazz up a basic dress and highlight your killer curves!

Hope this helped you all get the most wear out of your dresses!

Enjoy the rest of your day.
