Spring Trends: White on White

Hey everyone! I am back with another of my series for wearable spring trends.

This time I am going to show you guys one of my favorites: White on White.

This was also a trend, although not a prominent, last spring. Here are my tips to attack this trend!

1. Add splashes of COLOR! That way, your outfit isn't just completely monochromatic, but it has a little bit of fun in it! For example, a neon wallet, or bright sunnies! I think even bright lipstick would be stunning!

2. To go along with tip #1, choose Pastels if you want to have a softer look; likewise, choose Bright colors for a BOLD look.

3. Keep your accessories simple. The white on white is already a statement: a hunk of jewelry will just block the boldness of this look- not to mention, you'll look cluttered.

4. A easy way to break the monochromatic look of this trend is to tie a flannel around your waist. 

5. For the bold: long pants really show off this trend. For the less bold: shorts can still pull of the trend, but it won't be as big of a statement. A white dress is most likely the easiest way to wear this trend.

6. I suggest silver jewelry for a clean and fresh look!
7. This isn't really a styling tip, but it is re-allllyy important! Carry around some Tide pens or stain removers because this is a tricky trend to wear- it gets dirty really easily!
8. This trend is easier to style for casual wear than formal wear. But for a little more of a formal look, a little white dress and some cute white wedges are a simple way to wear this trend without being to dramatic.
9. Make sure your shades of white are around the SAME! Contrary to popular belief, not all whites are the same. Before heading out the door do a quick color check. When two drastically different whites are put together, the look isn't as clean. 

Tell me what YOU think of this trend! How are you liking this series? Do you have any suggestions for future Spring Trends posts? Comment below!

Wearing Spring Trends: Pastels

Hello lovelies!~
So this is a start of my spring trends series where I find some wearable trends that are currently in this spring 2014.
To start it off, I'm  going to start with a trend that I wear regardless if it is "in" or not.
Pastels! 
I already love this trend as for some reason, I am strangely attracted to pastel shades.
Here are my tips on wearing this trend.

1. Do not overdue it! Keep it to around 2-3 pieces of pastels, as seen above, I only used two pastels.
2. White is lovely with pastels, it really contrasts well with the pastels and brightens up your outfit!
3. If you aren't a huge light and girly color wearer, I suggest maybe going for some pastel nail polish or jewelry.
4. Color block! If you aren't afraid of jumping on this trend train, color blocking is a bold and fun way to wear this trend.
5. With pastels you can either go girly with lace, frills, peter pan collars, etc.
or even edgy with cleaner cuts; you don't need those frills!
6. If this isn't really your trend, try a neutralish base; white jeans, faded denim, black blazer, etc!
7. Gold jewelry really stands out against the pastel shades, while silver blends in more and is a softer look!

That's all for now! Comment below what you think of this trend, and any suggestions that you have for wearing pastels!
Until next time~ XOXO
