TREND REPORT:: OVERALLS

The 90′s inspired overalls trend is growing fast. Do you remember wearing Overalls?!  There were long ones, short ones, skirt ones, colorful ones, corduroy ones. Sometimes we’d even leave one strap unbuckled for cool points. (I  know, these are memories best left forgotten.) With overalls flooding stores at every price point, will you be able to resist their cozy charm.

 Try wearing tanks and short sleeve shirts underneath and adding a blazer or leather jacket on top for a more layered funky look. Consider a thin printed sweater or button up for a more 90s inspired look. Piled on accessories look great with denim, so try stacking on several bangles or braided bracelets along with statement rings and bold earrings. Adding interesting accessories ensures your look will be fashion forward.  Take a look at the three fashionistas below for inspiration.

PS: Look for my OVERALL trend look coming soon.

'Cap' it.

Cap: Gift

Vest:ShopExhale

Dress:Similar

Simple, yes this look is extremely simple.. but I love it all the more. The cap trend is definitely my new favorite thing. Its effort-less, easy, a fun.  You can rock a simple sporty chic look anywhere from the mall to the beach. It’s versatile and makes you completely feel like a rock-star!

I pair this cap trend concept with a vintage denim vest and a cute summer dress to girlie up this more tomboy look.

What do you think of this ‘cap’ trend?

White Bottoms

We’ve spotted one particular shoe trend for spring/summer 2013 that Hollywood can't seem to get enough of: white footwear, from egg-shell to ivory.

We all know black pumps are a wardrobe staple and go with practically everything – just ask Kate Middleton, who is a huge fan of the classic shoe – while nude heels were all the rage in Hollywood last summer, praised by fashionistas for their leg-lengthening look.

But why white?

It seems the 90s are back in a big way, and this particular shoe hue – which was often deemed"tacky" and "only for church" – is making a comeback, particularly when paired with the colour-blocking, geometric and neon trends of the season.

stripes x chambray

 

Chambray: Similar

Skirt:Similar

Flats:Steve Madden

A simple everyday look. You can never really go wrong with chambray in my personal opinion. With that, I decide to mix two trends, the chambray trend with the stripes trend.

HAIR, to dye for.

Crazy colored hair isn't just for top stars with extreme wardrobes like Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj. Celebs with a sense of style we really trust, like Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth, have shown us that candy colored locks are completely do-able.

Here are a few ways to get the Celeb-fab looks:

1. Try colored extensions or test out a wig: It's noncommittal, fun for a night, and will give you an idea if you're ready for something more permanent.

2. Seek a hair salon with a specialist in color: Find a salon near you that offers bright colored hair dye and bring in a photo of a realistic look you'd like to achieve.

3. DIY: I recommend buying rubber gloves, a color brush (available at beauty supply store) to help with application, and a jar of petroleum jelly (apply it along your hairline so dye doesn't stain your skin). It's important to remember that while blonde hair can take dye easily, colors will appear more subtle on dark hair. Ladies with dark hair looking for really saturated color will need to lighten or bleach hair first to achieve a vibrant hue. Wear an old t-shirt and follow the instructions on the bottle and dye strategic sections or your whole head.

Once you've dyed and gone to heaven, here are a few key maintenance tips:

1. Shampoo as infrequently as possible with color-safe products, since washing will strip the dye.

2. Go easy on your makeup. Colored shadow and liner will look overkill when you have bright blue hair.

3. Adjust your wardrobe accordingly. You may have looked great in hot pink before, but you don't want your shirt to match your hair.
