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.

DIY Nails: Glitter Tribal



I love tribal print nails, but everytime I attempted the style I always made one huge mess! However since I will never give up on anything, I tried once again with a much easier version and they actually came out how I wanted. All you need to recreate this nail look is a bright nail polish color and white, black, and glitter nail stripers. Don't forget a clear base and top coat to keep your nails looking great!
  1. Begin with clean nails and coat them with a base coat to prevent polish from staining the nails.
  2. Paint the entire nail with any bright nail polish color. Let it completely dry before moving to the next step.
  3. Take the black striper and make a medium-sized horizontal line across eaach nail. Let it completely dry before moving to the next step.
  4. Take the white striper and make small connecting lines, almost like zigzags.
  5. Now for extra glitz take the glitter striper and make a horizontal line under the black line. Let it completely dry before moving to the next step.
  6. Once all the nail polish is dry, coat every nail with a top coat to prevent chipping. Be sure to let everything dry!
Remember practice makes perfect and be patient when trying out new nail designs. Rock the glitter tribal nails!

Get The Look: Spring Lips

Lea Michele
I don't know about you, but I have a hard time wearing lots of make-up during the spring season. The weather can get hot and humid and allergies can cause the eyes to itch and water, not a good combo for a make-up look. For the spring season I am loving accenting the lips in bold lip colors, glosses, and stains and keeping the rest of the face simple. Lea Michele's look is perfect for spring and her lip color is bright, but goes great with her skin tone. I love that she does not completely forget her eyes by coating them in lengthening mascara. The only products you need to recreate Lea's look is a bold lip color and lengthening/thickening mascara.
  1. Begin with a clean, smooth face. Use concealer and foundation as neccessary.
  2. Take a rosy blush and apply it right to the apples of your cheeks and lightly into your temples.
  3. Curl your lashes witha an eyelash curler then coat your lashes with the lengthen and/or thickening mascara. Be sure to use at least 3 coats to make your lashes pop!
  4. Primer your lips with primer then glide your lip color across your lips. Be sure to wipe away any lipstick that went outside your lip line.
As for the hair, curl your hair into long, light waves and brush them all to one side. Secure the hair with bobby pins matching the color of your hair. Remember practice makes perfect and to be patient when trying out new beauty looks.

Get The Look: Printed Pants

Look #1
Look #2
Printed pants have been on my radar lately! I am loving the use of print as a pant or jean opposed to only being used in a shirt or skirt. Printed pants may look a bit intimidating at first, but they actually work perfectly with any outfit and have an unexpected look. Look #1 shows a gorgeous Miranda Cosgrove sporting a mix of edgy and girly style. The use of a hat and glitzy accessories even add a quirky, glam vibe   The look is great for spring because of the flowly top and the blues and purples in the jeans. The print of the jeans add playfulness and "look at me" power. Look #2 is quirky,cool and looks nice on Beyonce. I love how the print of her pants take her look from being normal and the blazer puts it all together. A print of pants such as these could even work in different colors and still look great! We can't forget about Beyonce's use of a hat, rounded glasses and a beautiful baby.

Fashion 101: All About Neon

Solange Knowles
Heidi Klum
Neon is a hot trend that can an outfit pop and is always perfect for srping/summer. I love that neon can be worked into an outfit in many different ways such as colorblocking or a simple scarf. Solange Knowles works neon throughout her outfit even creating a colorblock efffect. Solange prevents the look from being too much by only using three items of bright color and minimal jewelry.  Remember to only pair complementing colors like Solange has done with pink, purple, and yellow. Heidi Klum uses neon as a pop of color by pairing it with an all black ensemble. Neon is just as great when it is only used in a purse or an accessory! Heidi makes wearing all black totally spring with just a neon yellow handbag. Try out the neon trend this spring/summer ladies!

Prom Beauty Look: The Fancy Pony


Kim Kardashian


Demi Lovato and Kim Kardashian
No one ever said a ponytail can't be fancy! Kim Kardashian especially can be seen sporting all types of fancy ponies at special events wether they are slicked back or have curl and volume. The fancy pony look can be used for someone wanting show off their face or a beautifully detailed dress. I am in love with the jewlery peice Kim added to her ponytail in the top photograph. Kim makes sure her hair is always nice and shiny before puling it all up  and back and the shimmery gold hair accessory makes her healthy hair and bronze make-up stand out. Pick up hair jewelry at any hair store or a store that carries beauty products. Demi Lovato shows that a little bit of a messy look can be fabulous. Curl your hair and create big waves before pulling your hair up into a ponytail which will create nice volume and bodyy just  like Demi's hair. Don't forget to add the earrings! Try out a fancy ponytail look for the prom or any other special occasion ladies, they're are both comfortable and fab!
