Spring: The Season Where Simple Meets Sexy

When it comes to my overall look, I have spent the last 4 years of my life going to every possible extreme to achieve one thing- long hair.  Not just long hair, but full, luxurious, head-turning bombshell hair.  Which is ironic, since I spent most of my life with that very thing.  And yet, all it took was one chemical cut to quickly (and quite dramatically) humble what I had taken for granted.  If you have ever been through a chemical cut, I promise, I will buy you a drink the next time I see you.  Because after my experience, it is my firm belief we deserve a badge of honor to survive an experience so horrifying.  Or, at the very least, the phone number to a support group.

But back on track here.

Fast forward to these last few months.  Finally, I had long hair again.

And I couldn’t stand it.

I felt like a prisoner to it.  Everything revolved around it.  And the time it took to maintain it.  Or rather, the time LOST to maintain it.  Now, to be fair, most of the excessive maintenance was due to extensions.  Which, if done right, are an awesome way to grow out your natural hair while maintaining its integrity.  Which is exactly what I had done.  And will probably do again.  But when the time came to tighten my extensions, I found myself eagerly anticipating their removal.  For good.

Not only did I need some simplicity back in my already overwhelming schedule, but I wanted people to actually see ME.  Because when you have a long, full mane of silver hair, the attention tends to go there.  And that was no longer okay with me.

I needed to be free.

So I chopped it.  Not quite all of it- I’ll always be more Barbie than G.I. Jane.  Instead, I opted for an angled bob- a bold cut that would still scream “bombshell”, thanks to a few well placed curls, and would work well with my signature side part.

What can I say?  There’s just something mysterious about a long bang that swoops mischievously over one eye…

And the final result was nothing short of love at first site.  It was short, but still sexy.  Provocative, but still chic.  And not to mention hella flattering.

But more importantly, it was SIMPLE.

So that got me thinking about the rest of my routine.  If longer doesn’t necessarily mean better, then maybe less really can mean more, too?  For instance, is contouring really all that necessary?  Does a smokey eye always have to be dark?  Fortunately for me, my questions came at the perfect time.  Because after seeing the beauty trends dominating the runways for the upcoming Spring season, I already had my answer.

So get excited dolls.

Because we’re about to lighten things up.  Without losing impact.

Too good to be true, right?  Well…. read on and decide for yourself.

And with that, lets get in to the good stuff.

So if you’re an avid pallet collector, you already know peach will be major for Spring (Kylie Jenner pretty much slayed the entire game in this area).  And for good reason.  This light and playful shade is the perfect alternative to the bold red lip you’ve been rocking all winter.  But don’t stop there.  Because of its barely there tone, this is the perfect shade for the monochromatic look we all know and love.  Pick three different shades and go from dark to light, starting from either the bottom or the top.  Lids, cheeks, lips.  Gorgeous, flattering AND low maintenance- can I get a “Hell Yeah”?!  And of course, the monochromatic trend is perfect for any shade (as seen on Gigi below with violet), so get busy experimenting.  Just not right now.  Because I’m only getting warmed up.

So while we’re on the subject of pastels, its time to talk about what’s probably my favorite trend to look forward to- pastel eyes.  Remember my question about smokey eyes?  Someone was already ahead of the game here.  And while a brooding smokey eye will always be sexy, you can pack away the black- at least, until fall.  Same for the Cat Eye.  Instead, I present the Kitten Eye in its place (see what I did there?).  Same concept, yet totally refreshing.  And playful.  And romantic.  Candy pink, peach, lemon, baby blue- they all work.  Which means there are literally endless ways to express yourself through color.  Besides, I already know you’re a badass.  But that shouldn’t make you afraid to show your girly-girl side too.  And this is literally the perfect combination of BOTH.

But lets say you DO want a dark smokey eye.  I get it.  I understand the power of it.  Like date night- nothing says “come hither” like a sultry and smoldering lid.  Just lighten up with it to keep with this trend.

But enough with the eyes.  Because its important to note that a simpler routine doesn’t always have to mean a simple statement too.  Which is why I’m so excited about this next one, which is all about playing up your cheeks.  But in a fun, yet totally unique, yet incredibly show-stopping way.  And if you are anything like me- then you like that shit.  So you’re going to love what is being referred to as the “blush bomb”.  Simply put, this trend is all about keeping the rest of your face neutral, and adding a bright burst of color on and above your cheeks.  I know, right?  Just when we thought we’d run out of things to try.  Now I’m not suggesting this one for the office, but I AM begging you to give it a trail run on your next girl’s night out.  Lavender and bubblegum pink tones are perfect for a playfully shocking punch, but coral or red will knock them dead.  Fortunately, you’ve got plenty of time to try them all.

And with that, my next Spring trend takes us from one end of the spectrum to the other.  And while I’m not necessarily as excited about this one as the previously mentioned ones, I do have to admit that it grabbed my attention.  If you’ve already looked at the image below, you can tell something is… missing.  Mascara.  And its oddly beautiful.  Somehow the bold lip makes up for it, and balances out a bare eye, making everything look effortlessly beautiful together.  And with that, I’d say its definitely worth a try.  Especially if you’re running late one morning.

And that leads me to another adored trend.  I almost didn’t add this one because while it LOOKS simple, it also happens to be the most complicated one (in my opinion).  I’m talking about No-Makeup Makeup.  Also referred to as the biggest lie you’ve heard since you were told Santa wasn’t real.  BUT, it does look amazing.  And also tends to be a favorite with men.  And lets face it- while its sweet to hear, we really don’t care if they still love us without our makeup on.  And, actually, come to think of it, that might be the biggest lie since Santa Clause…

But back to the point.  So while this look is far from “simple”, its certainly stunning.  And the perfect excuse to go all out with your favorite highlighter.  Not that you ever needed one anyway.

And remember- anyone who looks flawless, yet says they’re not wearing makeup, is a dirty, dirty liar.

And finally, it wouldn’t be fair now to talk about nails.  I know all too well how easy it is to gravitate to electric colors.  For me it seems the higher the temp, the brighter the shade.  And that’s okay.  But here’s a unique little twist to try with your next mani.  Simply put the focus on your beds instead, and leave the actual nail itself nude.  Its literally the perfect metallic pop that will pretty much work for any occasion- and that itself is worth loving it for.

But regardless of what trends you want to try, its important to remember that Spring is the season for rebirth.  And maybe that’s why I love it so damn much…  After all, its hard not to be inspired to try something new when there’s so much new around you- from baby birds hatching to new flowers budding.

So don’t ever be afraid to reinvent yourself.

And don’t ever be afraid to bloom.

And take a few minutes to look at not only the beauty that is around you, but at the beauty that is inside you.

Whether you do that through pastel eyes is up to you.

It’s a Date.

Few things bring can be as terrifying as the challenge of determining what to wear on a first date.

I mean… except for the actual first date itself, of course.

But seriously- think about all the pressure that goes into one little outfit.  This could be the man you’ve been waiting your entire life for.  Or he could be a total idiot.  Either way, you’ll be saying a lot about who you are simply by what you have on.

And who you are is a confident, sexy, bad ass woman.

Yasssss, girl, I see you!

Okay, but how exactly does a confident, sexy, bad ass woman dress?  Well… that’s the thing.  There’s no set definition anymore.  Think about the last time someone walked into a room and you really felt their presence.  Chances are when you picture them now, you’re not focused on what they had on, but rather the confidence, or power they exuded.  You know right away that this person has complete control.

In other words, they’re secure.

They know who they are, and exactly what they have to offer.

As a result, what they’re wearing is simply a reflection of that security- and not a source of validation for it.

More importantly, these individuals aren’t dressing for you or anyone else, seeing that approval is the last thing they need.  And that is exactly how getting ready for a date should be.

So now back to my original question- what are you going to wear??  I know that telling you anything is pretty much fair game these days doesn’t help much.  But I do think having a firm understanding of how you want to feel does.  First dates are already stressful enough.  The desire to be the best “you” is understandable.  And as much as we hate thinking of a first date like a job interview, it kinda is…

So we have to prepare for both the same way: with honest confidence.

Yep- the key word here is “honest”.  In other words, throwing on a short revealing dress will almost certainly gain his attention.  And probably everyone else’s too.  Now, if that’s who you are, then you own that.  With no apologies.  I mean zero.  I will never tear a girl down who is simply staying true to who she is.  And if you’re a girl that loves to flaunt her curves then I support that.  But if this is NOT you, then you need to back away from the bodycon dresses.  At least for now.  There’s plenty of time for that down the road.

So what I’m saying is- keep it casual.  That’s right.  This fashionista is actually telling you to keep it simple.  Well, more like simple-ish.  And just to clarify, casual does not mean you can look like you’re on your way to yoga.  Even if that is who you are.  (Unless of course your first date is actually going to yoga….)  Because even a first date deserves the respect of effort on your behalf.

Effort = Interest

So what is considered casual?

First of all, casual should be looked at as an overall tone of the look, and not a uniform.  Its a style that is literally in the styling itself.  Casual can mean jeans and a t-shirt…. except the t-shirt is knotted to expose just the slightest hint of skin.  Meaning, its a look that combines equal parts of both naturally sexy and effortlessly chic.  As women, this is something we ALL have.  Think of all the times you’ve heard men talk about how much more beautiful we are without makeup (lies…).  Or how amazing we look in the morning when we first wake up (more lies…).   Maybe we do… Maybe we don’t…  Either way, I believe these opinions are based off of something deeper than simply the existence of one’s outer beauty.  They’re seeing something more honest.  Raw.  Vulnerable.  And that’s incredibly sexy to men.  Because guess what- the real you is sexy.  Yes girl!  Eyebrows on fleek, or not.  And keeping it casual on a first date is about as close as allowing a man to see you in those situations as you can get.  Unless you actually wake up with him the next morning.  Which would be frowned upon…

Though I’m still not casting any judgement.

So now the fun part…..

A personal list of my favorite coveted date night looks, perfect for just about any situation or mood.  Find one that speaks to you and give it a shot.  Because while I cant promise the guy wont turn out to be a total idiot, I CAN say these looks are positively fool-proof….

Denim

Ripped, skinny, boycut- they ALL work.  Studies have shown this is the look men love the most.  Not that we care.  Because we wear what WE want to wear.  So if you’re a denim kind of girl, this is all you.

Blazers & Cut-Off’s

Admit it- who doesnt love showing a little leg?  But just like everything else in life, the key is balance.  So go ahead.  Throw on your shortest shorts.  Just top off the look with a casual tee or tank.  Add a blazer.  And boom- you’re the girl next store, with a 401K.  Now who doesn’t want that??

Dresses

The classic staple.  And spring nights just beg for a flirty, flowing dress.  If ultra feminine is your thing, then a romantic little dress is all it takes.

Leather

For my rocker babes.  Because you like a little edge with your romance.  Though a rebel at heart, deep down you’re a lover- not a fighter.

My personal favorite.  Because I believe all a girl really needs in life is sangria and Free People.

Straight From Work

We’ve all been there.  You’re running late, or maybe you’re just a boss bitch.  But like any true hustler, you know how to make it work when you need some time to play and you’re short on time.  A quick change of accessories and its game on

Slay.

White/Black

Nothing basic or boring here.  You just know how to keep things classy.  I ain’t mad atcha…  He wont be either.

Hair/Makeup

And finally, that last finishing touch.  As you may already know, now is not the time to try any new looks.  Tempting as it is to try something different, this rarely turns out to be a good idea in this particular situation.  For instance, if you’re not someone who wears false lashes on the regular, don’t.  Just don’t.  And this applies to anything else you may be thinking about extending, enlarging or contouring.

Less is truly more here.

You’re welcome.

And there you have it ladies.  Come hither looks that should be as effortless as your potential relationship.

No smokey eye required.  No cleavage necessary.

Now get your fine self out there and turn some heads.

And steer clear of the idiots.

And remember that when all else fails in love, there’s still sangria and Free People.

All That Glitters

First off, you should all know this now- I am a sequin whore.  And it makes sense with gold being my favorite color.  Which also might explain why I’m so obsessed with accessories.  And gowns.  And have absolutely zero fear of standing out in a crowd.  I adore shine.  Glitz.  Glamour.

gold sequin plunging deep v dress sequins liberata dolce all that glitters post fashion blogger blog fall winter 2015

“The next day I was in The Village looking for the perfect $7 dress to go with my $300 shoes…”

This quote from Sex & the City summarizes my style perfectly.  And it has very little to do with price.  Instead, its about the hunt.  The desire to find something unique and personal to define…..ME.  MY style.  Because ideally that’s exactly what fashion should be about.  Different and special to each individual.  Sure, we have trend reports and fashion weeks to help set the stage for us, but ultimately its up to YOU to put your own spin on things.  To take trends and incorporate them into your already existing style.  Not to follow the masses.  That would make you….a basic bitch.  Unless, of course, your goal is to blend in?

No darling.  Trends come and go.  But style?  That’s forever.

And so with that, comes the time of year fashionistas defy limits (if they ever really set any).  Because with colder temps comes maximum opportunity to play with and layer pretty much anything.  Chunky cable-knit sweaters would be ridiculous in the summer- but a barely there dress works fine in December…. with the right accessories.

balmain leather gold sequin plunging deep v dress sequins liberata dolce all that glitters post fashion blogger blog fall winter 2015

Which brings me to my point.  Accessories are life to the fashion-obsessed.  They are the signature tools that uniquely define, and therefore separate us.  And signature is key.  They should be bold.  Eye-catching.  Different.  Strategically placed creative spins on classic theories.  Or classic spins on modern theories.  That’s the creative beauty of the whole thing- anything goes.

SATC is probably one of the most widely known ways things were worn in ways that were considered [at the time] different.

For example, remember the giant, oversized flowers?  Exactly.  Or when she wore the dramatic ballgown skirt to dinner with The Russian.  Or paired one with a Dior tee in the 2nd movie.  The odd crown-like headband while trying on wedding dresses?  From leather gloves, to fur coats, to headwear, Patricia Field knew how to add a totally unexpected pop to any outfit while maintaining balance.

If you aren’t excited yet by the ideas already running through your head, you’re doing it wrong.

Either way, here are some of my favorite looks I plan to capitalize on over the next few months.  With trends already heavy with 70’s swag, we have every reason to cash in on anything that shines.  Think over-embellished.  Plunging necklines.  Come hither boots.  Bold prints.  And with Christmas and New Years just around the corner, you literally will have zero reason not to shine exactly like the diamond you are…

1. SEQUINS

If you’re a girl that likes to be seen, much like myself, then this is for you.  You might not be the first one on the dance floor- but you know how to make an entrance.  You like to look, and FEEL, glam.  And with the holidays approaching fast, you’re free to wear them anytime, day or night.  The key here is balance.  For daytime, stick to one adorned piece- a mini skirt, top or blazer.  Any color works.  But if you’re going to go sequined, go all the way and choose something in a jewel tone.  SO.  PRETTY!  Now for night- anything goes.  Free People has a STUNNING collection of dresses available right now.  Starting at $98, they are the epitome of perfection.  And with their iconic soft neutral hues, low necklines and backless cuts, it will be hard to find a reason NOT to wear them.

Below are a few notable pieces that I’ve personally scored, for ALL budgets:

Balmain for H&M, $199

Forever 21, $38.50

(wear it backwards for a plunging neckline instead)

Free People, Tarnished Gold Tunic ($298) and Sexy In Sequins Slip ($98)

And with mini dresses comes maximum accessories.  Any of these pieces can be dressed up or down by adding things as simple as a leather jacket.  Or a blazer.  Wear thigh high boots.  Or add a simple heel.  A thicker heel will make it more daytime appropriate.  Heading to the office?  Throw a pencil skirt on over it.  You will literally have zero excuses not to work one of these gorgeous numbers into your daily wardrobe.

2. ITS ALL IN THE DETAILS

Did you ever find yourself looking enviously at women from the past, perfectly put together from head to toe, dripping with lux and class?  It was a common standard to be perfectly groomed.  From driving gloves to hats, they made a basic trip to the grocery store look like a glamorous adventure.   Today, we’re lucky if women put on pants.  No, really.

Well this is your chance.  Thanks to the rebirth of vintage, nothing is off limits when it comes to accessorizing.  Recently I set out to on a mission for such pieces.  And for this kind of mission, vintage truly is best.  And fortunately for me, I have a gem of a store literally right down the street.  A darling shop by the name of Retro Rosie’s, they wont take a thing made after 1975.  The owner combs other shops, homes and yard sales to salvage the best of the best.  I’m talking items like prom dresses from the 50’s.  Shift dresses from the 60’s.  Bell bottomed Levi’s from the 70’s.  And statement jewelry from literally every era.  Bags… shoes… hats… its ALL there under one glorious roof.  This place is my nirvana.  When I visit, I literally spend hours transforming myself into every generation.  Last hull scored me my best finds yet, scoring several sets of white leather gloves, shag wraps and some costume jewelry.

I imagined the gloves had been worn by some fierce glamazon at Studio 54, holding a glass of champagne while dancing with Andy Warhol.  Probably not…. but still.  I bought them in 3 lengths, planning to wear them all scrunched a bit.  Add a few cuffs on top for some extra drama.  But I’ll warn you- these are not for those who cannot be without their cell ph0nes for long spurts of time.  Touchscreens and glove-covered fingers just don’t agree.

As for the brooches, we’ve discussed this cant-live-without fall accessory for some time now in other posts.  But I wanted to add that the beauty of these pieces is you can usually find vast amounts, in varying sizes and colors, for next to nothing. I paid about $8 a piece, picking ones that reflected my personality.

Lastly- SHAG COATS.  If there was ever a heaven for these pieces, vintage shops would be it.  But they are also the hardest piece to find.  Mainly because they get scooped up so quickly.  Sure, you can buy a new one online for practically nothing.  And you may have to.  But if you have the patience, go for authentic.  I promise the quality and overall look with be worth it.  And you probably wont pay much more for it.  I would also advise checking local thrift stores.  Same thing- they go fast, but it will broaden the possibilities.

Above I showed you some of the different pieces I’ve collected over the last few weeks.  And today I want to try something different.  Something more personal.  Something that I do everyday with my wardrobe.  So I selected a few of the aforementioned pieces, and styled them multiple ways, for multiple occasions.  And the best part?  Every look was under $500.  1 was even under $50 (thank you H&M!).

The first two pieces were scored at H&M.  Available now.

Top $9.99, Skirt $14.99, Vintage Belt/Gloves/Clutch

There’s so much to love about the versatility of both pieces.  Wear together for a show-stopping effect, or tone it down with a solid tank or leather pencil skirt.

Next was the ultimate score.  The possibilities are endless with this stunner.  And considering the dress was just under $40, you’ll have plenty of cash left over to discover them…

It starts off simple enough.  One bold number, flipped backwards so the plunge is in the front.  A set of vintage gloves ($10), my favorite Chanel cuff ($350) and a vintage clutch is all a girl needs to turn [more than] a few heads.

But I didn’t stop there….

Remember the H&M shirt?  Mmmhmmmm….

Perfection.

Now lets edge things up a bit, shall we?

Swap the gloves for a fitted lather jacket.  This particular one is vegan leather, from American Eagle (no longer available).
