8 Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Trends

I don't know about you guys but I'm so relieved that winter is finally over. I hate cold and I absolutely love spring/summer fashion. So I decided to share with you some of the latest fashion trends for this season.

1. Neon colors. It's the biggest trend this summer. They are bright, fun and very expressive! You can wear them for day or night. I personally rarely wear bright colors, I prefer pastels. But if you are not afraid to wear bold colors then it's a perfect trend for you!



2. The second trend is floral prints. It is a very romantic and feminine fashion trend. I'm sure a lot of girls would be happy to wear floral skirts, shirts, and dresses. I already bought two shirts with floral prints. But to be honest, I don't like this look on me. It makes me look like a grandma. I don't like prints in general. We'll see...maybe I will end up liking this trend.


3. Stripes. I feel like stripes are popular every season. This is a timeless and classic trend that will always be "in". You can wear stripes with pretty much everything - with skirts, jeans, shorts, etc.


4. Jumpsuits are still popular this season. This is one of my favorite trends. It's chic and comfy. I have a problem finding a jumpsuit that fits me though, they are either too baggy or too long on me. The only drawback about jumpsuits is using a bathroom. You will have to remove it all. It's such a hassle.



5. Maxi dresses and maxi skirts. I absolutely love this trend, very feminine. I have seen a lot of girls sporting this look. Ladies, don't think that you have to be tall to wear maxi dresses/skirts. I'm 5,3 and I don't have a problem wearing a maxi dress.

6. High waisted pants and shorts. It was a big trend a few years ago and it made a comeback this season. I love 70's fashion, it's so sophisticated and classy.
 


7.Whites. It's my favorite trend, hands down. I love love love the white color. I think I have too many white clothes. But you can never go wrong with white. It looks very fresh and flattering on anyone. I find that the white color looks especially good on brunettes and creates a beautiful contrast with their dark skin tone and dark hair.


8. Lace is gorgeous. Who doesn't want to wear lace? It's so flirty, sexy and feminine. I feel like I use the word feminine too many times in this blog post. So I guess it's the best word to describe the spring/summer 2011 fashion trends.


Also, girls, please don't follow all fashion trends just because they are "in" or simply because someone looks good in them. Develop your own personal style, try to be original. Wear clothes that look good on you, compliment your body shape and match your personal style. Remember, fashion come and go but style is forever.
 Have a wonderful day everyone and enjoy the warm spring weather!

TREND REPORT ** SPRING WRAP-UP


Leopard Bags

I love this trend. I'm not a huge fan of patten hence why all of bags are solid-colored. But I really want a leopard bag particularly like this one or a funky Betsey Johnshon one.


60S coats

I find this trend extremely romantic and classy. Think playful spring colors: pinks,yellows and light blues!


Military vests & jackets

Sure,you're too delicate for the army but a military vest is the next best FASHIONABLE thing.


Color blocking

You may or may not know but I'm not a huge fan of a lot of colors. Sure ,I have my Katy Perry days but 8/10 times-I'm in cool or pastel colors. But I'll give this look a try this summer :) I'll try anything once...


Platform heels

*swooooon*


Trench dresses

Love this! This is a statement piece. Don't overkill with leggings or jewelry!!!




Preppy Prep

Let's all pretend we're rich,beautiful and have lots of drama. Some of you may already be these things... Bring out the blazers,riding boots and pastel cardigans!


Big Bangles &

Lucite jewelry


Citrus colors

Instead of looking like an orange (*cough* Snooki) wear orange instead. What a fun way to bring the summer in...


Blue nail polish

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE. I'm rocking this color right now

Trend Report

For Spring 2011


Textured Tights

This was a huge trend last year and it's back again! I love this look it can transform a rather boring outfit& make it young,edgy and fun. I know some of my gals are frightful about adding attention to their thighs but I promise you textured tights actually lengthen and disguise flaws. You'll feel a lot sexier too;] Celebrities like Leighton Meester and Ke$ha loves textured tights.


Leather bracelets
This leather bracelet is from $99.95
This is a very hot accessory for Spring. It's different and unique jewelry is very trendy now.I love leather bracelets with a white T-shirt,Jeans,a blazer and flats. This adds a more polished and cool look to outfits.


Nars Lip Gloss [Harlow] $24
It's a tad pricey but it is definitely worth it. Try and get a nude/matte color especially for spring. Spring is about understated and light colors. This lip gloss is not sticky and it lasts forever! Great buy!


Lace-up Wedge Booties [Chloe]
This was the main show for the Spring 2011 runway shows. It's east to see why,it's very funky,super comfy and FASHION FORWARD.Wedge shoes are raved for their comfort.The platform on this particular style of shoes has great support and balance. Gotta get me a pair:-)!!!



Cool Scarves
[Echo Design]
The trick with scarves is to HAVE FUN WITH THEM. There are tons of different ways to wear them. It's best to just throw on a scarf and go rather than trying to place it so perfectly. Also this year it's all about cool patterns!
Check out this helpful video from the lovely,Michelle Phan:


Lace
Words cannot explain how much I love lace...yet I don't own a single piece of clothing with lace detail. Well, his was be a major hit on the runway and it's made its way to the real world. Very romantic and adds an instant air of elegance! Little = More in this case. Too much of a good thing= BAD.

[Akris-Spring 2011]
Bold Prints
Designers went crazy this year looking for fresh ideas to create wild and crazy prints. You only live once right?

Trend Report

Hippie Headbands

For some odd reason this trend is coming back. I remember when I rocked this back in '08 and got some pretty weird looks all over Brooklyn. *Sigh*

How to Rock the Hippie Headband:
1. Part hair in either a straight part down the middle, or create a loose jig-jag part down the middle of your head.

2. Wrap a skinny headband around the top of your forehead, avoid tucking your hair behind your ears!

3. If you have bangs, wear the headband over your bangs.

4. Throughout the day/night check your headband and avoid mushroom head(:D) by tucking your hair in.


Multi-Color Nails
It must be the year of LOUD color everywhere-hair,nails,etc.I gave you all an example of my "Purple Zebra" nails a couple post below. It's fun,just try it. That's why they created polish remover!

Now your nails will always match your outfit..


Leopard Scarves

Any animal print (even Zebra) can be very classic and trendy when done in small amounts.

Scarf from Echo


Brown is the color
You must have an essential go to bag without print or any other distraction just for school or work. Trust me,it goes w/everything and looks S-H-A-R-P!

Burberry bag
Tip: Go Brown w/bags,boots and watches:)

Purple Eyeshadow

This a universally beautiful color on every skin tone. Hot Makeup look this fall!

What's on your summer wishlist?

That's a pretty big question but I've narrowed it down to the must haves...
**Not in any specific order*

-The "Perfect" Fedora
Not the kind your grandpa wore but the ultra trendy ones you see in the fashion magazines.A straw hat fedora is more appropriate and weather friendly for the hot days of summer.

Now where do you find these hats has always been some type of enigma. Forever 21 and H&M will probably have a couple but check the small boutique that caters to the hipsters in your city.Also online shopping is probably the best bet. Check Alloy.com

-The "Perfect" Summer dress
I hope you know that coral is the "It color" this summer. If you heard it was anything else--THEY LIED.

Forever 21 Satin Shirt Dress;$27.80
Now I think i may have this category covered already. I got a dress (totally different from the above pic). It coral dress with a bustier type and a criss-cross back with a gold zipper. I have no idea when to wear it. My 19th birthday maybe? Omg,I'm going to be 19 in September...*quickly changes topic*

-The "Perfect" Cocktail Shorts
To me,this is one of those trends that always come back once summer arrives.Dress it up or dress it down!I would love black ones...I need to brighten up,eh?


-The "Perfect" Handbag
Leather will stick to my arms.Suede is just...weird.That still leaves plenty of options. And of course it'll all depends where you're going-work,school,beach etc.

Is this a good summer bag? Alloy.com-Shada Bag;$39.90

-The "Perfect" Tank Top
I'm not taking about those lame spaghetti strap things. Tops like this:

Alloy.com;$22.00

-The "Perfect" Sandal
I don't think it's possible but have fun trying.


-The "Perfect" Romper
Denim,Satin(Why would you do that?)...pick your flavor.

If you're blessed with divine legs show them off! A little shimmer and leg makeup = perfect legs

-The "Perfect" Skinny Cargo Pants


And of course -The "Perfect" pair of sunglasses.Whether you're into designers names or not there's a formula for the perfect sunglasses based on your face shape. Good thing to Google.
