                                            Spring 2017 Hair Trend

           One of the biggest hair trends this season is beach waves. Beachy hair was seen on Rebecca Minkoff, Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, and Tanya Taylor runway shows. This look is easy to achieve, just spray some sea salt spray in your hair and you’re good to go. My favorite sea salt spray is the one from Bumble and Bumble and according to Elle.com it’s the one they used at the Tanya Taylor show.

Vintage makeup is beautiful, whether it’s the packaging or the formula. Sadly even if we’re lucky enough to find vintage makeup we can’t use it since it’s been expired for a long time. Luckily Gabriela Hernandez created a beautiful line of vintage inspired makeup that is now sold at Sephora. Bésame even has the classic cake mascara, now you can apply mascara like a flapper girl would in the 20’s.

1) Camel is a popular color among tench coats and peacoats. A perfect color to tone down all the other trending vibrant colors.

2) Cherry was the most popular color on the streets during fashion week. Cherry can be perfectly paired with neutral colors and jewel tones.

3) Moss is a great fall color that contrasts well with all the vibrant hues. Moss is most commonly associated with military style jackets and cargos.

4) Mustard is another popular fall color that contrasts well with the other vibrant hues. When Beyonce wore that beautiful Roberto Cavalli dress in lemonade it  inspired trendy girls everywhere.

5) Pink everything is a favorite of mine, it’s a great way to achieve a feminine look.

6) Silky Blues are a great vibrant color that can be matched with fall colors such as mustard and moss. Chiara Ferragni (pictured above) is wearing a silky pajama tuxedo during Paris Fashion Week.

7) Neon is back along with a bunch of other 80′s trends, are you excited? Leandra Medine ( pictured above) mixed fuchsia and neon orange together, I love it!

Glitter is the perfect party look this year. It made an appearance on the runway thanks to Pat McGrath’s wine glittery lips painted on the mouths of Versace’s models. I even had red glitter lips at my New York Fashion Week runway debut, but sadly it wasn’t as glamours as Versace was. Models Hailey Baldwin and Emily Ratakowski had their eyelids painted gold by McGrath and people have been going crazy over these looks on Instagram. She is now selling her glitter lip kits on her site (www.PatMcgrath.com), so go ahead and buy the look to impress all your friends at holiday parties. 

 Even Urban Outfitters placed glitter under their models eyes for their new holiday campaign. 

The to master the art of glitter this season is using it in unconventional places ( such as under the brow or under the eyes like the UO campaign) and to revamp classic looks ( such as adding glitter to a statement lip or applying it to the center of your eyelids).

                                           Must Have Handbags

Handbags are meant for keeping your essentials on you and they can be a killer statement piece. Bags can pull your whole look together and if it’s designer it can make your outfit look more expensive. 

Celebrities and bloggers have been loving these four bags that are shown above. Going clockwise, we have the Dionysus bag from Gucci, the Faye bag from Cholé, a shoulder bag Moschino, and a Valentino lipstick case. These handbags are made to last so they are worth the investment. Personally I am dying to get my hands on the Dionysus bag.

The runways have been nostalgic of the 70′s. Flairs hang on racks in almost every fast-fashion store and even at designer locations. These babies can get a little tricky to style, as my friend said “when I wear throw on a pair of boots I look like a cow girl and when I wear them with flats I look too maternal.” So here are a couple guidelines I use to style flairs. Think cropped shirts, sweaters, and outerwear, since most flairs are high waisted you want to avoid long shirts. If it’s a bit cold outside and cropped shirts are out of the question, don’t be afraid to tuck your top into your pants. I think victorian style tops look great with flairs too, it gives it a hippie feel. When I wear flares I want my legs to look 8 miles long, so I throw on a pair of platform sandals or heeled booties. I think clogs, gladiators, and mules look great with flairs too. When in doubt look at pictures from the 70′s and go off that.

                                     Trend Report: Tennis Wear

Rumors have been circulating that the athleisure trend for women is slowly disappearing, but it’s not. The trend is evolving instead and focusing on tennis wear. This trend is all about athletic wear mixed with preppy. Brands like Fila, Adidas, and Nike are a must, especially if it has a retro touch to it. Materials like perforated leather, pebbled leather, and neoprene are going to be staples for this trend along with patterns like grids, athletic stripes, and retro graphics. Key items for this look will be slip on velcro sneakers, tennis shoes, rain boots, slides, loafers, platform sandals, visors, baseball caps, bucket hats, bows, elastics, athletic headbands, aviators, knee high socks, netted socks and tennis tote bags. Colors that you’ll be seeing are navy, forest green, burgundy, a soft pink, white and black. Fila has been a huge influence for this upcoming trend along with tennis players like Serena Williams and Chris Evert.

1) Totally Clueless: Ugh, as if. Clueless is a cult classic and Cher Horowitz has some serious style. To look as iconic as Cher did you will need a yellow plaid blazer, a yellow vest, a white tank, a yellow plaid skirt (that matches your blazer), white thigh highs, and silver heels. Don’t forget a 90’s cell! 

P.S Cher would want you to remember that you shouldn’t swoon for just any guy. 

2) A Wild Thornberry: Debbie Thronberry’s outfit is so easy to recreate! All you’ll need is a green flannel, an orange crop top, baggy distressed at the knee jeans, and sneakers.  Also, You need curly blonde hair to complete the look. You gotta love grunge. 

3) The Forgotten June Moone: Everybody this Halloween wants to dress as Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad, but has everyone forgotten about the Enchantress? This voodoo queen wears a black bra and a tribal skirt, she’s decked out in jewels, chains, and strange markings cover her face and body. This costume can be easily DIY, but when being Enchantress promise you won’t take over the world.

4) The Queen In All of Us: Daenerys Stormborn of house Tagaryen, the unburnt, mother of dragons, khalessi to Drogo’s riders, and Queen of the seven kingdoms of Westors, any Game of Throne’s fanatic dying to be this independent queen? Danny’s costume is harder to DIY than others, but your local Halloween store should carry her outfit. When dressed as Danny take what’s yours and never take no for an answer

5) Demogorgon Destroyer: A pretty pink dress with a peter pan color, an oversized denim jacket, a buzz cut, some blood dripping from your nose and a box of egos is all you need to be this amazing heroine. Dress as Eleven this Halloween and you can fight those strange forces away.
