Top Trend Predictions

Leather, peplums, polka dots, side parts, and bolder lip colors are my predicted trends for the winter and pre-spring seasons of 2013. Whether it's fashion or beauty, I love to predict the latest trends and slowly begin to try them out before they "make it big".  Keep on reading below and learn more about my trend predictions.

Kim Kardashian

Leather and peplums are being seen everywhere now. Leather can be incorporated for in so many ways such as tops, shoes, and pants and look amazing. Leather is also very practical for the winter and can work its way into spring as a great leather short or skirt. Peplums create a curvier shape on any body type and can go from long sleeve to short in any fabric and pattern. Kim Kardashian knows how to work it with both leather and peplum in the photo above which gives off a chic look without being too many trends at once.

Cheryl Cole

Polka dots are the latest pants pattern to strike after florals and stripes. Polka dots can be sweet to edgy in a instance and are extremely versatile. From the size of the polka dots, the direction of the dots, and most importantly the color contrasts, polka dots can go with any outfit and make it stand out. Polka dots can easily work with another pattern like how Cheryl Cole pairs dots with hearts and makes it work by the black and white color contrast. Polka dots will work with any piece of clothing, but in skinny jeans it will stand out and make your outfit youthful and fun.

Kristen Stewart

Beauty wise side parts and bold lip colors are taking the red carpet and everyday looks by storm. A deep side part is an easy way to change up your hairstyle without any cutting or dying. A side part starting at the middle of your brow will make your hair cascade on one side beautifully framing your face. You can even add waves, curls, or leave your hair straight with the side part. Bold lip colors will make your face brighten up and look like you spent more time than you actually did on your make-up. Try out a lip color that goes with your skin tone, but venture out by experimenting with lip colors that will work for you.

Trend Alert: Spikes and Studs





Spikes and studs are EVERYWERE! They are so edgy, yet so glam and gives off the coolest look in an outfit. Spikes and studs can work on girly styles too which will help add edge and toughness. The best part about studs and spikes is that you can either buy items that already have the details, or you can DIY them own. Sutds and spikes look best when they are on accessories in your outfit such as shoes, bracelets, bags, and even a vest or jacket, maybe even a hat! Although I did not post the piture of spiked shoes I have been eyeing, I will reveal them on Must Have Friday.

Are you into the spikes and studs trend?

Trend Alert: Coral Colors

Emmy Rossum

Lauren Conrad

Sofia Vergara

The newest upcoming color trend is all shades of coral. Coral is a branch off color of orange and often a color that reminds people of the beach. Coral can be seen as the lip color of Emmy Rossum, the soft lightness of Lauren Conrad's skirt, or even solid and bright like Sofia Vergara's gown. At the moment I even have coral on my nails as a polish! Coral can be incorporated into make-up and beauty as a nail polish, lipstick, and even as a blush or eyeshadow.  As for clothing, coral is a beautiful color for jeans and skirts or as a cute top. I personally would love to have a bright coral top handle bag to carry around for the rest of summer and even for fall. Coral is such a versatil color that I predict the trend to carry on into fall in lighter, more subtle shades.

Will you be sporting the coral trend?

Trend Alert: Floppy Hats

Blake Lively

Lindsay Lohan

Floppy hats are so fun to wear and come in a variety of shapes and colors that are sure to work for anyone! Floppy hats not only look super cute, but they are also great for your health because they keep the extra sun and UV rays from damaging your precious skin. However, remember to still wear SPF!  Blake Lively stays California fresh in her floppy hat which is the perfect size for her head and body and adds to her casual green halter dress. Blake's hat is great for wearing outdoors or anywhere the sun is blazing. Lindsay Lohan gives off a cool girl vibe by pairing her small black floppy hat with darkly tinted aviator sunglasses. Lindsay's hat could be called an oversize fedora, but the mix between the two hat types actually makes it more interesting. All of Lindsay's outfit accessories create an overall look that is super chic and the floppy hat adds an extra oomph. Try out a floppy hat for the spring and summer seasons and look majorly chic while also protecting your skin.

Fashion 101: The Shorts Suit

Victoria Hudgens

Amanda Seyfried

Michelle Williams

The latest trend in suits have to be the shorts suit which happen be a great way to show off your legs. I love how they come in a variety of styles and colors and add such a modern twist to the traditional suit. Victoria Justice is springtime perfect in a bright salmon colored shorts suit that goes nicely with her olive complexion. I am especially adoring Victoria's decked out grey booties, love them! Amanda Seyfried looks stunning in an unexpected shiny blue and black shorts suit. The shorts suit gives her legs mega length and will do the same for just about everyone else! Michelle Williams gives off a cute sailor girl look that goes great with her short hairdo. Michelle is a stunner with her style and I love that she switched it up with her suit style making it unique. Try out the shorts suit ladies! Don't forget to make it more casual by just adding a chic pair of oxfords and minimal accessories.

What do you think about shorts suits?

Trend Alert: Socks with Heels



Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts stays looking young and carefree by pairing risque socks with a pair of shorts. Make sure you pair the look with a covered top half and chic accessories to not go too raunchy with the look.

Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester is super posh in this oufit! She stays in an all black look which maintains color with pops of floral in the dress. I loev that her socks are the same color as her shoes and only go up to about mid-calf.

Rihanna

Rihanna is in a daring girly meets edgy look in this outfit. Her gold pumps are paired with white socks that bunch at the ankles which work because they are in a neutral color.


A trend I am seeing repeatedly on everyone from celebrities to everday fashionistas is socks with heels. The look is stylish while also keeping your feet warm or hiding a bad pedicure.   Keep the look fresh by wearing socks that bunch up at the ankle or go up to or higher than your calf. Make sure to keep the socks a neutral colors that goges with your shoes and outfit to prevent a childish look.
