5 Unique Fashion Trends and Make up Tips to Look Fresh

“Less is more” is the in thing this 2014. Simplicity is key whether it be in makeup or hair this year. Looking fresh and young will definitely amp your personality.

Celebrity stylists prefer simpler looks this year. “Simple is edgier and sexier,” so they say. Their advice is to focus on accentuating only your eyes and lips.
Here are 5 unique fashion trends in hair and makeup to keep your cool and look fresh this season.

1.      Shimmer and glitter are so last season. Tri-colored correction creams are better than last year’s BB cream craze. Heavy foundation should be avoided. Applying moisturizer before foundation or creams is the key in achieving a fresher look. You must remember that in attaining that fresh look is through flawless complexion.

2.      For your puckers, choose colors that match your skin tone. Later this year, radiant orchid and plum are going to be a hit. Dark-colored girls should consider orange and bright coral for their lips. While white-skinned girls can try matte and red.


3.      In fashion, the bright, electric shades of the 80’s funk are your best bet this year. But pastels such as light pink and blue will still make you look elegant and classy.

4.      The short and textured hairstyles of the 70s will be your “throwback look”. “We're gonna see a lot of shorter cuts from like, Pamela Anderson, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Hudson,” said Louis Phillip Kee, owner of the salon of the same name. Meanwhile, longhair is still your staple winning look.

5.      Start sporting low ponytails for that simple yet fresh look. Braids will make a comeback especially those styles that wraps around the head and looks like a crown.

You can always experiment on your looks and styles depending on the occasion, season, and mood you are in.  Make sure that you won’t regret it if you decide on changing something for good, more especially when it comes to changing your hairstyle. If you badly need a new one but just want it to be temporary, you can make use of wigs and hair extensions so that you can just remove it whenever you want.

Florals For Spring? Groundbreaking...

Florals For Spring? Groundbreaking...




I have to be honest, I. HATE. FLORALS.  Yet, every year they pop up on the runways, months in advance, to remind us that they are unfortunately here to stay. Spring season after spring season.  Year after year.  One year it'll be abstract florals, the next it'll be little delicate florals, and then, like this year, it is hawaiian print florals.  

Yet, I seriously dig these pieces from Dries Van Noten (available at Barney's) and Versace (find it at Nordstroms here or Lord & Taylor). Then again, there isn't much Dries Van Noten or Versace does that I don't like.



But, the stunning pieces are still a bit overly floral for my taste.  So in rebellion and retaliation to all you fashion bloggers with your table cloth, english china floral print clothing selfies...I am going in the complete opposite direction! (Okay, maybe not completely in the opposite direction).  I do have some understated florals...actually one...but you have to squint to see them.  

Even though people usually bust out their wearable flower gardens this time of year, I personally believe you can celebrate spring with your wardrobe AND leave the florals where they belong...  IN THE GROUND.

Here are some ideas if, like me, you abhor florals:



See? You can still be bright and cheery without so many darn flowers, especially with this She Inside Blue Sleeveless Underwater World Print Dress (only $20.79!) (click here to view).  Furthermore, this dress has placid blue, sand and celosia orange, which are some of the hottest colors this spring.  SO you can be trendy without looking like a flower patch.




Take advantage of the Black & White trend that is still hot with this SheInside White Short Sleeve Letter Print Straight Dress ($23.88!).  Click here to view




Be inspired by Marc Jacobs and Dries Van Noten Spring runway shows and go for a more Hawaiian print floral. (I know this is more leafy than floral but you get it) This SheInside Red Off the Shoulder Leaves Print Dress is definitely trendy without overdoing it.  Only $29.67, click here to view



And if you absolutely MUST go floral, take a cue from Oscar De La Renta's Spring Runway Show and go for loose crochets and lace done in virginal white.


Check out this beautiful SheInside White Short Sleeve Embroidered Lace Dress only $24.80!  Click here to view.

See? Four different ways to celebrate spring without looking like flower seed packets vomited all over you!

So what is your spring style?
