Death to the easily influenced, lack of innovation, saturated, repetitive, clone thrown trends. Lately it seems like everyone's "style", if you would even call it that, is a general consciences of sameness. I've compiled a list of Trends that are starting to make my eyes bleed from over exposure. Check out these 6 trends. CLICK HERE
Kelly Rowland takes Advantage of "Motivation"
Aside from being mentioned in a Kanye West song or photographed by the paparazzi we haven't seen much of Kelly Rowland since her "Destiny was Fulfilled". After two mediocre solo albums and firing Mathew Knowles, Kelly's career is finally starting to take of in the right direction.--Story Here
Fashion: Must have's for Spring!
Spring Polishes
Beautiful Girl by Sinful Colors
This is my all time favorite nail polish and it's the perfect pop for your outfit during the spring. I wore this for my entire spring break trip last year and after constantly being in the water it still looked flawless only $1.99 at your local drugstore!
L.A. Girl Disco Brites Glow Black Light
This is a few colors from one of my favorite collections by L.A. Girls the bold bright colors that aren't pastels, but still pop without being Neon will match with your entire spring wardrobe. Not to mention they glow under black light so they're great for parties! Psychedelic (first to left) and Vinyl Record (2nd to last) are my top picks! You can find these for $2.99 at your local beauty Supply store
Revlon Silver Screen O.P.I. Bling Dynasty
I usually wear steel and darker metal-toned nail polishes during the winter but during the spring the sun reflects so well off of bright metallic colors and these two are a must have. You can wear the colors as is or you can spice them up by adding clear based silver or gold glitter as a top coat. I suggest silver glitter by Nubar for Revlon Silver Screen and Cleopatra by China glaze of O.P.I. Bling Dynasty.
O.P.I. Spring Texas Collection
This is the Spring 2011 collection from O.P.I. It offers everything from the brights, darks, and neutrals that work for spring time. I have yet to try any of these but O.P.I. has never failed me before. Highly recommended!
Scents
Although Juicy Couture recently released a new scent this past winter Viva La Juicy is still absolute favorite. This scent is light and airy perfect for the spring. Its a bit on the pricey side but it's well worth it.
Bath and Body Works: Carried Away
Carried Away is the new spring scent from the "Signature collection" at Bath and Body Works I've already purchased the body wash and lotion. The fresh versatile scent works for everyday. Checkout the Bath and Body Works website for special deals on this product.
Victoria Secret: Ravishing Love
Ravishing love is the Spring Scent From Victoria Secrets "Secret Garden Collection" and is a mix of vanilla and pomegranates. Pick up the body spray, lotion, and shower Gel at a Victoria Secret Location near you.
Floral Prints and Bolds
Over the past two springs floral patterns were slowly emerging and are now in full swing combining them with other trends such as rompers and ruffled skirts are sure to make a statement. Bold bright colors mixed with basic neutrals can help you standout while using some of your essential wardrobe pieces. Checkout some suggested pieces below.
These styles can be found at www.gojane.com, www.forever21.com, www.charlotterusse.com, and www.wetseal.com
Rain Boots
April Showers bring May flowers and when April rolls around make sure you are looking fashionable in the cutest Rain boots. I suggest Target for over 100 different styles.
Makeup
During this season the makeup possibilities are endless. I suggest wearing bronzer instead of blush and mineral foundation instead of liquid foundation for those hotter days. As far as Eyeshadow here are some makeup looks that our favorite guru's whipped up to add a little pop to your spring makeup experience.
Those are all the essentials you'll need this season. What's your Spring must Have? Leave comments below.
