spring fever...


Rain.. Rain.. Go awayyy.. or should I say snow, wind, 30 degree and below temps, and frost on my car windows pleaseee goo away! I'm ready for the sun to come out and play. I'm also ready to wear all of the cute spring clothing items that I have purchased lately. My winter clothes have had their time to shine, time to wear the stuff that is made for the shine. And by shine... I mean SUN shine! This springs trends are some of my favorite trends. Lace, florals, neutral color palettes, and girly extras are part of my everyday wardrobe and this spring they are coming out full force. The picture above are items I found on one of my favorite online stores lulus.com that offers some great, trendy items at a super reasonable price. Who's with me when I say warm weather please hurry up?!

oh summer hair





Time for a change and as soon as the temperatures start to rise I'm chopping my hair off (well... maybe... I'm such a scaredy-cat when it comes to my hair). But I'm loving the short length, middle part, highlighted look that a lot of the celebrities are sporting these days.

inspiration of the month



1. Cheryl Cole... do I need to say more.
2. This room is beautiful! I'm moving right now and in the process of decorating and these colors and the vintage feel of this are so great.
3. This picture and obviously the outfit make me so ready for the warm weather to come back.
4. Drake.. Rihanna.. again do I need to say more? The "What's my name." video is so inspiring to me, the song.. the outfits.. the color.. the mood.. EVERYTHING.
5. How cute, right? If it wasn't only 15 degrees outside right now I would so make a tent and spend the night in it. Especially with a special someone.
6. Lady like purses. A huge trend for Fall, I'm still in love and always have been.
7. Drake, again. His music has been on repeat for the past couple of weeks. His songs not only have the ability to make you wanna dance, but they give you a feeling. And they are also inspiring for outfit choices too.
8. The jacket and the sunlight look so peaceful. Plus it's a fur jacket... LOVE.
9. Oh Abby, I love everything about you and your outfit!
10. Lea Michele at the Hollywood Style Awards. I'm obsessed with this dress, the length, color, and fabric are perfect. And of course I love her just as much!
11. Stella McCartney's Resort 2011 collection. Gahhh just looking at it makes me sigh. It's perfection. The structure of each piece is amazing. I love the neutral tones of the tan and white and pops of color. I also love the florals, I love florals so seeing this makes my eyes happy. She never fails to amaze me with her collections.
12. The "Easy Riders" spread in Elle. All of the fur and big floppy hats and the huge sunglasses are amazing. I love the whole feel of the spread. So inspiring.

updated preppy



One of my favorite looks is the preppy style. It's so classic and no matter what, it's always in style. It's constantly updating itself to stay in touch with the runway designs. Many high end designers are even categorized with the preppy look such as Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Tory Burch. Many celebrities are also seen with an updated preppy look such as Blake Lively who keeps it more classic and Olivia Palermo who has a more fashion forward approach to it.

red, white, and sparkles



The Christmas holiday is just around the corner, and you know what that means?! Tons of parties which call for cocktail dresses and festive gifts! Three of the biggest trends right now are also some of my favorites. I absolutely love the color red. Not only does it compliment my skin tone, I think it looks great on everyone! And there are so many different ways to wear it. It can be something as subtle as red lipstick or lip stain, or something bold as a vibrant red blazer. Another one of my favorite colors is white. The old tale about not being able to wear white after labor day, to me, goes completely unnoticed when it comes to the holiday season, especially when you know how to wear it. And last, but definitely not least, are sequins. I love love love this trend right now! It gives any outfit that little extra something, and it can also be worn casual or dressed up. This holiday season be sure to keep in mind that it is okay to go all out and dress up and have fun! That's what I tell myself, ALWAYS have fun when it comes to putting together the perfect outfit for any occasion.

bohemian chic



Vanessa Hudgens style can be summed up into two words: Bohemian Chic. Her outfits usually consist of distressed jeans, flowy tops, gladiator sandals, and slouchy boots. Even though this look can go bad, real quick, she always seems to look so kept together which makes her look effortlessly chic.
