Trend 101: The Palazoo Pant

Kendall Jenner

Palazzo pants are known for being big and wide, but not always. Kendall Jenner tries this look with slimming palazzo pants in an Aztec print paired with a crop top. This type of slimming palazzo pant lengthens the body which is perfect for both short and tall girls.

Vanessa Hudgens

Palazzo pants are perfect for casual days in the spring and summer. Palazzo pants work for a shopping day as well as for dates because of the array of prints, and maxiskirt-like feel. Vanessa Hudgens rocks the palazzo pants with a boho vibe by pairing them with a loose crop top and fringe satchel bag. 

Nicole Richie

Palazzo pants also come in a trouser form, perfect for more formal occasions, like in the photo above. Nicole Richie even mixes print utilizing stripes and checkered print.

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!

What fashion trends stood out to you this year?

Trend Alert: Fashionable Sweats

Sweats are making a super chic,and comfy, statement. The "new" sweatpants come in a more fitted form as well as in many different colors, patterns, and prints. These sweatpants can fit into any style or look, girly, edgy, and more! You also don't have to stick with only pairing sweats with sneakers because heels and boots will work too! Plus, you can offset the look by sporting a fancier top to dress up the look. Above are some of my favorite new ways to rock fashionable sweats worn by Forever 21 models.

Trend 101: Out with the Platform?

Have platforms been deemed out? Heels have finally made their way back closer to the ground! The shoes above allude so much class and of course major chicness. Heels without the platform are not as kick-punch and allow the outfit more room to stand out. However, don't think a shoe can't still make an impact without a platform because they still totally can. 

Will you still be rocking platforms? 

Trend 101: Bring on the Leather

Leather is not just for jackets and boots anymore! Leather is making a big splash into fall fashion this year with leather skirts, purses, accessories, and more. Leather can create a very chic, edgy look especially when mixed with silver and gold accents like the boots, bracelet, and jacket pictured above. Leather skirts and pants are a great alternative to everyday fabrics because of the texture and visual appeal. Exchanging a pair of jeans for leather pants or a skirt update your look and gives it more fashion edge. However, if your not ready to commit to leather all the way, try shirts and pants with leather accents on the side or something as simple as leather purse that can also be used as a fashion basic in your closet.

Above are some of my favorite camo looks worn by my favorite celebs, and myself, check it out!

Overalls aren't for little kids anymore! This 90's fad is back and better than ever, especially if you pair them with the right accessories and shoes. So many celebs and bloggers have been spotted rocking this new trend which means that there are so many basic how to's for wearing overalls and looking good.

• Accessorize in pieces that fit your personal style so you can make this trend your own.

Fashion 101: Black On White, White On Black

I am obsessed with the updated look of black and white outfits! It is so much more than just black pants and white shirt, there's stripes, polka dots, blazers, and more that make it so much more interesting! The black and white trend creates a lot of visual interest because of the contrast between white and black. Below are some of my favorite black and white looks rocked by Beyonce, Nicole Richie, and Emma Watson!

Trend 101: The Circle Skirt

Circle skirts are a staple for spring/summer 2013. Circle skirts are easy to style and very comfortable to wear on an everyday basis. You can even dress them up with a pair of heels or stay casual with sneakers. Circle skirts help to find your waist and make it look suer tiny while also adding slight curves which give you some shape. Circle skirts can easily be paired with a blouse, t-shirt, a flowly top, and just about anything else. Especially with the assortment of patterns, prints, and lengths circle skirts come in, you can make them work into your style while still being able to switch it up.

Trend 101: All Black at the White Shows

Spring 2013 is all about stand out prints and colors which is why black and white outfit combos are becoming a major trend. The color contrast between white and black is major and can be seen in so many different styles, prints, and pieces that it's almost impossible not to fall in love with the trend. My favorite way of rocking this trend is through stripes or a graphic tee. Black and white stripes can look very feminine and classy, but still be turned edgy and chic in seconds while a graphic tee will always keep you comfty and casual. Not only that, but a black and white outfit combo is perfect to pair with bold colored accesories, purse, and shoes! So many options are included with this trend which makes it a must to try out.

Trend Alert: Love of the Crop Top

Crop tops have made their way back from the 90's and are going to be a hit in the summer time! At first I felt that crop tops were just a little too revealing, but now I've learned the many different ways of styling the crop top to make it look perfect for you. Below are some of my favorite crop top looks and why they caught my eye.

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba is always a fashion fave because of her subtle chicness. I love the sleek sophistication to this look and the peep of skin helps to make this look more interesting instead an ordinary all black ensemble.

Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens has the boho look down pat which means crop tops are a necessity in her closet. What I love about her crop top look is the pretty feminine feel it gives along with the lace. Since it's a crop top you don't have to worry about the lace becoming too "old lady" or childish which is absolutely perfect.

Miley Cyrus

Summertime is all about fun patterns and bright colors which is why I'm really digging Miley's fitted crop top. It really shows off her figure and can be worn for a casual day out with anything from high waisted shorts, a skirt, to skinny jeans. You can also pair a fitted and patterned crop with so many looks from edgy to girly with the right accessories which makes it very versatile.

Selena Gomez

Lastly, Selena Gomez is on my list because I absolutely love this fun. girly look. A bustier crop top can instantly become racy if not paired correctly, but with this high waisted, a line skirt all you can get is girliness. Plus Selena's simple waves and Barbie pink heels keep the look very appropriate.

Trend Alert: The Collar Necklace

Yesterday I did see shopping around the mall and one thing that seemed to stick out on the accessory side and it's collar necklaces! The "collar" is really in right now as you can see on different celebrities, models, and everyday people, but after a while your closet may suffer from the excess amount of collared tops. As a benefit for both you and your closet, it makes so much sense to invest in collar necklaces! The collar necklaces I came across are adjustable for your neck size and length you need the necklace and work for just about any style from girly to edgy. They also came in so many different varieties such as peter pan style and pointed with each decked out in gems, sequins, or a cool print. The necklaces ranged from about $10-$15 which in my opinion is reasonable since you can pair it with about any crew neck top to give the appearance of a real collar, or you can wear it as a regular necklace. Although I did not purchase a collar necklace, (I'd rather have all the bling in on my ears and fingers) I would highly recommend this for anyone who is into the collar shirt look.
