Spring/summer has never looked more appealing to me than it did during this past winter that I spent with Jack Frost. Thankfully, we broke up, and it's time for me to revamp my relationship with sunshine, sandals, and the occasional road trip. Outside of the 70s flares, boho chic, and the ballerina skirts, there has been a lot to catch my eye, fashion wise, this season.
REBECCA MINKOFF PURSES.
Rebecca Minkoff is a new addition to my designers-I-love list--especially with the line of handbags (and shoes) that she put out for this spring. Each bag is so unique, detailed, and versatile. A full collection of Minkoff's designs (bags, shoes, accessories, etc) can be found on her website: http://rebeccaminkoff.com.
ORANGE LIPS.
Orange Lips. I cannot get enough of orange lips. Whenever I am looking to pump up an outfit I generally reach for a red or a pink, but these past few weeks it has been all about the orange. My current favorites are by MAC: Vegas Volt (a peachy orange) and So Chaud (a vibrant red orange). Revlon also has some really great orange colors (available in lipstick and lip gloss) that I have seen.
Can't figure out how to rock the orange? Simple. Go easy on the eyes (try a subtle winged out eyeliner look, a couple of coats of mascara, and a highlight on the brow), a natural (but noticeable) cheek and highlight, and a flawless face (your favorite foundation, or tinted moisturizer will work perfectly). To top it off: the orange lipstick of your choice. Don't be shy--the brighter the better. But remember to be aware of your undertones.
SCARVES AND HATS FOR SPRING.
Generally, I'd be excited to pass the torch from winter trends to spring trends, but this year the tables seem to have turned. Scarves and hates are definitely something I'm looking forward to, but not the typical ones. I'll be wearing my hats floppy and my scarves tied pin-up style around my head. Two words: effortlessly chic.
FRINGED T-SHIRTS.
Completely stoked to fringe some of my vintage t-shirts. It takes them from typical to edgy, and adds a little more fun to that effortless t-shirt and jean shorts look we all rock (at least sometimes) in the summer. There are no rules to fringing t-shirts, except that hoochie is not cute. Experiment with the hem and sleeves of your shirt, and don't be afraid to use more than just scissors to make your tops look even more badass (beads, studs, braids, etc). Pair your tee with a pair of broken in/ripped jean shorts, a pair of doc martin style boots, and a pair of aviators (maybe a headscarf and an orange lip too). Work it.
Until next time,
Lo
