Another great dress is the classic color blocks that are hot this season, either entirely one color or mixing it up with paneling these dresses will not have you looking plain Jane. If you are feeling like you need to spice up one of these solids throw on some funky jewels, a strappy sandal, and a beach tote; summer better look out. Check back next week when I will talk about swimwear and the best styles for each body shape this season.

Summertime and the living is easy!
First off, let me apologize for taking so long to update. Things have been crazy with graduating from college, picking out what to wear for graduation, and just life in general. Never fear I am back, I promise to write a little more often now that life has calmed down enough for my to focus on my one true love, fashion. I now have a new love for sporty athletic clothing and this is my tribute to summer. Athletica has some new trends that bring working out and fashion together; with great pink hues, and crossing shapes they flatter a wide range of athletes. I have always had a love for the bright colors and who really does that better than Nike. Not only can you have your outfit match your shoes, but they are in the most vibrant neon colors to give anyone at the gym a dazed look, and not just because they pulled a half-marathon on the treadmill. I am so in love with these NikeID shoes, you make all the decisions on colors! As much as I love athletica, I feel that I would be doing you an injustice if I didn't talk a little about the summer dresses. Picture walking along the beach, your sexy man-beast is next to you and you look fabulous in this amazing printed BCBG Dress that flatters your figure in every possible way. Found in the summer essentials section of every magazine and website alike, the trend is bright and form fitting in the bust with a flare at the hip. I am starting to drool just thinking about these great trends.

Spring Trends I can not get enough of!
So, after carefully looking through different websites I can actually look at when working,(working ya right!) I have found some of my favorite trends and the best ways to wear them. I figured since you are my only real friends....yes I am talking to you, I thought I would share. The first trend which I have already mentioned is the use of bright colors! I know, I know it is hard to look at the magenta's, and the school bus yellows and think they will look good on you. Do not fret, those only look good on either crazy tan models or crazy pale ones. What you can do with this trend is put it in your accessories, Michael Kors has some amazing colored hand bags; the accessories to our lives in the pieces to the puzzle of fashion. Personally the Canary yellow is something I am going to search for when shopping next. Another trend I love is the sheer over nude look, you can really wear this with anything. It does seem pretty dressy so I would keep it to a night out. But, I think you could pull it off underneath a sharp suit as well.
Flowers and butterflies, reminds me of when I was a little girl looking at clothing, but this trend has come back with a more classy sophisticated look. Floral prints is really big this season, but incorporating the bugs that accompany is a different twist on a normal trend.
These are my favorites at the moment, and please stay away from the geometrical shapes that I have been seeing around, and the weird origami dresses. No one can look good in origami, NO ONE. Have a good day everyone and happy blogging!

Back and Ready to get Sprung!
Hello everyone! I know it has been a long time coming, but I finally think I have the time and the will power to write again. The Spring styles are coming with avengence and I am trying to get my spring body ready for them! To inform anyone who does not know how I work this blog, I usually go back and forth between my struggle with clothing and style, and the newest hottest trends that I want to wear and that I could never wear! Oh the love of fashion has a massive hold on me! Moving on I am planning a new look for summer, I am getting my hair done and I am ready to flash the bright colors in a sophistocated way.
First I would like to talk about hair! This trend seems to be the love and hate of my life. I seem to always want something different, and still never decide on what to do. The current trends are a little more subtle then other times. That is if you are not considering peroxide blonde as one of the new hot trends. Who really thinks they can pull off looking like a cheap porn star in a dvd at the local headshop? Well I for one will not even consider this a trend, so the trashy look is not even considered in my thoughts of the season. What I do like is the new Sarah Jessica Parker, She has stuck with her tride and true, famous locks from Sex in the City for far too long; and now she has drastically changed to a beautiful soft brown. This is the current look that I am thinking of right now, the real question is how can I pull it off.
Other hair trends of the spring and summer, are cascading down from the oscars. Apparently if you are famous enough to be in a movie, or attend the oscars you must have amazing hair. I could honestly go 50/50 on this one. I see some of the trends like Kate Winslets look which was a somewhat fancy updo and I think, how could you ever transition that into everyday wear? So I would have to say I don't think it is possible. So my number one pick, with lack of being able to find anything that is not too extreme, is the soft brown wavy look.
Moving on the clothing! Fashion is a passion I can not seem to get away from(not that I am trying to.) From what the magazines are hinting at, the bold and bright, light and airy is always a great trend for summer. Pull off the Summer whites with bright accessories, and bring out the bold with mixing patterns with sleek pencil skirts to balance it out.
Update to come this evening, Just wanted to let you know I am back!
