Hard As Nails.

Well..... as you've probably noticed, manicures have done a 360 back into the 70's/ 80's look of pointy. Not flat tips. I NEVER thought this look would make a comeback but I think pointed manicures are SO much better than the trashy flat tipped white acrylic nails. Those were fun in high school, but now growing in to a woman, I want something more sophisticated. But still fun. In Lana Del Rey's music video "Ride" you probably noticed long pointy red acrylics. I think she has been a pioneer to this style trend that is making it's way back from 1975. Whether you have long peach colored nails (Try OPI's Bubble Bath) or pin stripes and leopard print, this trend is absolutely adorable. You can do acrylic or press on (that's one thing I love about this trend). You don't need a lot of money for your nails to look absolutely fabulous. This trend is not only blowing up on fashionista's but all you have to do is click on Pinterest and you will see a slew of trendy design ideas from fellow pinners. I think this spring/summer trend is here to stay and hopefully will develop from a trend to a classic. Also considering the zeitgeist (the spirit of the times), we are in a 1970's inspired fashion world and these nails go along to match. If you don't like long nails, try short acrylic flat tips painted with spring inspired designs (no white tips please)! It's still a fun but trendy look! Now go.... get a manicure. Not only is it doing something good for yourself, it's making the world a more fab place.

Spring 2013: Peach & Bold Stripes....

Finally! After a horrible, cold, depressing winter, Spring has finally arrived! Don't get me wrong. I LOVE fall/winter fashion. After all, I am a sucker for blacks and greys, and dark red lips....But the nice thing about having rough winters, is that you are SO ready for Spring to be here! Anyways... let's talk about some trendy styles we are seeing hitting the runways, pages of Vogue, and of course the floor sets of our favorite boutiques. Last Spring, peach and mint green were THE colors to wear. Not only are we seeing it in nail color, clothing lines, and makeup, but mint green is also showing up in car colors, like the new Fiat 500 cc's. Seeing how the color took off I am guessing they are going to become classics. Especially when peach looks great on any skin tone and makes you look tan. Peach and Mint Green are coming back again this Spring... I am seeing it everywhere again. Especially in nail colors and lipsticks. Another hot color this Spring is Royal Blue.... (who would have guessed?)... I'm not a fan of the color but forced myself to buy a Royal Blue Romper for a work party. I actually love it. It will be a great summer look this year. Another trend I am seeing is bold black and white stripes. I am not only seeing jackets and skirts, but leggings too!  I got a pair at H&M that I'm kind of in love with. Just make sure not to pair it with something too bold or crazy, because you don't want to have too much texture in one outfit. Another great spring classic is of course, sun dresses, particularly with a floral print, wedges, and the color nude will always be a safe bet. Whites with browns, etc. If you are like me and wear a lot of black add some coral colored jewelry, pearls, or turquoise. Coral and turquoise are this years colors of the season.... So accesorizing with the colors will give your outfit a springy feel. Some great apps for your iphone like Wanelo, and Polyvore will let you shop the latest trends right from your iphone so you can go shopping on the go. Anyways.... Happy Spring 2013 beauties! xoxoxo
