Hair 101: The Latest Bob Chops


Emma Stone
Beyonce
As of late, two major celebs have given their long locks a chop. Emma Stone and Beyonce have traded in long hair for short, wavy bobs. Bobs are typically an "average" hair do, but only when styled like the typically bob. What makes Emma and Beyonce's bobs stand out is the texture and bluntness of the cut. Instead of many layers, each has a more straight across cut that maintains the same length all the way around. Also, there are no heat tools near either one! Instead of super sleek looks, each bob keeps with the hair's natural texture which gives extra body and volume.

What is your favorite fall hair cut?

Trend Alert: Spring 2014 Jewelry

Spring 2014 Jewelry Trends

Spring jewelry trends are all about bright colors, golds, big gems, and quirky twists. Bright colors are perfect to make everyone, including yourself, smile and spice up an outfit. Gold colored jewelry gives a soft touch to any outfit while big gems make an outfit sparkle. My personal favorite spring jewelry trend is the quirky twists. Spring jewelry is introducing bows, cat shaped watches, and lots of other fun shaped jewelry pieces.

2013 Fashion Trends Review

Selena Gomez
A lot of crunches and ab workouts were done this year all because of the crop top. The midriff-baring crop top was seen all year long, no matter the season. Crop tops came in so many renditions, lace, sweater materials, long and short sleeves, even with a turtleneck!
Ashley Madekwe
Peplum tops made their mark by adding curve and shape to every figure! Peplums were seen as tops and featured in skirts and dresses. Peplums were easily dressed up or dressed down as well. Peplums gave even a simple outfit a does of chicness. 
Kylie Jenner
Leather is not a new thing. However, the fashion world was accustomed to only seeing it used in motorcycle jackets, boots, and pants. This year, leather was reinvented. 2013 saw leather a-line skirts, abstract skirts, even leather tops! Also, you can't forget about the array of colors leather was seen in throughout the year. 

Zendaya 
The sporty chic look was also introduced this year. Sweatpants were no longer seen as a sign of fashion defeat, but as a comfy alternative. Sweatpants were paired with heels, preferably sneaker wedges and strappy heels. Sweatpants came in a variety of styles and colors as well as lots of fun graphic tees and sweatshirts to pair with. 

2013 saw so many trends, both good and bad, this year. So of course I was not able to list every single fashion moment. However, above were some of my favorite trends of the year. Let me know about yours in the comments below!

My Spring 2013 Wants

Spring Wishlist


Spring is one of my favorite seasons because of the bright colors, florals, and of course the warm weather. This spring patterns such as houndstooth and floral are going to be top trends as well flatforms, dainty accessories, bright lips, and so much more. However, on my own spring want list is just a couple things which include flatforms, cutout shoes, rings, a pretty spring dress, and to find a new everyday make-up look.
  • Flatforms! Flatforms are cute twist on wedge shoes and still add some height to your leg because of the consistent heel. However, I need flatforms with a bit of a curve so I will actually be able to walk in them since I have a deep arch in my feet.
  • Cutout Shoes! Cutouts look so good on dresses and tops, so why not try them out on shoes? I actually have gotten a pair of flat oxfords with cutout on the side that I cannot wait to wear when the weather warms up.
  • Rings! After a while rings start to rust and look cheap and dirty which is not a cute look to me. I really would like to invest in a couple of dainty as well as statement rings to add to my jewelry collection and keep my hands looking sparkly.
  • Pretty Spring Dress! I just love the look of a flirty neon dress for spring paired with a pair of flats and curly. You have to admit that a girly a-line dress is the epitome of spring. 
  • New Make-Up Look! My biggest want is actually a new everyday natural make-up look which I can only achieve through experimenting. I am so tired of mascara and winged liner and feel that since I am young I should try something new every once in a while.
What are your Spring wants? Any ideas for a new everyday make-up look?

Spring Beauty Trends: Pastel Eyes, Matte Lip

Spring is bringing back all the color into your beauty look. A bright matte lip and pastel colored lids are the ultimate trend for Spring 2013 whether you're rocking them at the same time or seperately. A splash of color brightens up your entire face and an instant vibe of youthfulness. However, there are a few things to beware of such as color overload and finding your specific color. Below are two lovely ladies, Solange and Katy Perry, who both know how to rock the latest Spring beauty trends.
Solange Knowles
Matte lips are a great alternative to glossy lips. The matte lets the color shine through without taking over your entire beauty look. Using a matte lip color allows you to still add a blush and eyeshadow without overpowering your face. Be sure to find a lip color that goes with your skin tone by swatching and asking to try out colors. Also, to prevent a matte lip color from drying out your lips make sure you apply a moisturizing chapstick first.

Katy Perry

Pastels come in such a variety of colors and shades that allow you to have an entire pallete of pastel eye shadows. Just like any other shadow, you can do so many different looks such as a smokey eye which makes pastel shadows very versatile. Pastel shadows are especially pretty when used as a liner because it can easily make your eyes stand out and pop.

Fall 2012 Beauty Trends

Fall Beauty Trends

This year's fall beauty trends are so gorgeous, it's all about nudes, browns, deep reds, emerald greens, and regal purples. The colors scream dark princess in my opinion and work for every skin tone. Nail polish is definitely huge this year, every celebrity and fashion brand is beginning to make their own nail line which means everyone's nails are going to painted. A matte black nail color is a great alternative to the everyday shiny black and a nice emerald green, dark red, navy blue, or regal purple are fall ready too. A nude brown is also a trendy nail color that makes your nails appear longer and when it chips, no one can really tell. Not only is a nude brown a trendy nail color, but also a lipstick or gloss. Dark lips in violets and reds are so popular for nighttime looks in fall, while a nude lipstick or nude gloss is great for daytime wear. Don't forget about the hair, Lauren Conrad has switched up her Cali girl blonde hair to brunette which looks amazing and totally embodies fall.

Miranda Cosgrove looks so cool in this trendy plaid, leather, and collared dress.I love that the entire look is pulled all together in one look complete with flirty peep toe heels and a blue smokey eye look. Plaid, leather, and especially collars are some of this year's top trends that can be worn in so many ways. Leather can be seen as leggings, pants, shorts, skirts, and even dresses. Plaid is a print that can mixed in with other prints and patterns depending on the primary colors and how busy the overall plaid print is. Collars are definitely big this fall, they look so amazing with embellishments like  studs and spikes. Miranda is totally fall ready, all she needs is a cute cardigan when it gets chilly.
