Spring Trend: The Peplum Top

If you ladies have been keeping up with all the Spring trends, you would know about the Peplum Top. This cute top needs to be in every fashionista's closet! Peplum is simply defined as a short over-skirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse, or dress.
 

Styling Tips: Pair your Peplum top with a skinny/fitted mini-skirt or pants, streamlined pencil skirt, or trousers. Accessorize with a bold statement necklace and belt.

Would You Try This Trend: Pajamas

Hey Beauties! I'm sure the title of this post raised your eyebrows, but it's not as weird as you think (well, if worn the correct way). Believe it or  not, pajamas are coming out of the bedroom and onto the glamorous streets of the fashion world. Leave it to all the creative fashionistas for pulling off this trend and looking damn good! Make sure to buy a pair of nighties that are good quality...maybe a silk or good cotton blend and pair them with a cute Spring colored blazer and striking shoes! Because pajamas can look frumpy, be sure to chic up your outfit of choice by buying nice fitting pants or shorts and adding a clutch to make the outfit more demure. There's nothing like rocking a pair of pajamas and literally looking like you just rolled out of bed!

These ladies got the trend right on target!

Nini from Ninistyle - This chic is too fly! Love her Splatter Loubs

Rihanna in Stella McCartney

What do you guys think of this trend? I'm still on the fence lol. Since I love robes, I would probably find a super sexy print and fabric and turn it into a wrap dress with a cute belt and killer heels! Hmmm, might have to try it!

Celebrity Style: Jennifer Lopez in Neon Yellow Michael Kors

OWWWWW! JLO looked all types of sexy in this Spring's popping colors: neon yellow Michael Crepe Crewneck body-con dress and super high hot pink Casadei Flou pumps (which I'm drooling over). Her body is banging and she has really been upping the sexiness factor ever since she split from Marc Anthony. She looks happy and healthy, and her role on American Idol is really making her fashion star shine. If you missed her sassy pink slit dress, she wowed in another Michael Kors Slash number and looked just as radiant. Sorry, Marc, you're missing out. Funny how after women split up after their men, they start feeling themselves! LOL I love it!

Girl, you better WORK!!!

Spring/Summer Hair: Go Short!

Not sure about you guys, but I'm so confused by this weather! Last week in D.C it felt like summer with highs in the 70s and 80s. This week, it's back to 30 degrees and I'm literally sitting here wearing boots. SMH. Anywhooo, just because the weather is a mess, doesn't mean your hair has to be!

Short hair has made a strong comeback, and for me, it's here to stay! I went thru the transformation of having a weave, and Yvonne (along with other people) agreed that short hair is my trademark. So, with Yvonne's suggestions, I am gradually going shorter and shorter and shorter. Not sure where I'll end up, but I can't wait for the outcome. I'm all about experimenting with hair because it'll grow back! It's not the end of the world!!

Some fabulous celebrities are even snipping and they are looking amazing! Halle Berry went back to her short hair and I'm so happy. This chic is beyond beautiful and I'm gonna try my best to look like her when I age. (I just stare at her every time the Revlon commercial comes on lol).

Would you snip snip??

Spring Trend: Cut Out Shoulders

Adriana Lima in Kimberly Ovitz Spring 2012

Zoe Saldana in Alexander McQueen Spring 2012

Paula Patton in Versus Spring 2012

Hey beauties...the Spring trends just don't stop! The cut out shoulder trend is super cute and it gives a perfect touch of sex appeal on dresses. I've asked some men their favorite body parts to be shown on woman and they said the leg and shoulders...interesting. I guess the shoulders have that kind of simplistic sex appeal when they peak out of form fitting dresses like these ladies.

WORK!

Spring 2012 Trend: Pastel Colors

During New York Fashion Week this year many Spring 2012 collections have incorporated pastel colors into their designs. Bright colors like neon yellows and even darker tones have been the trend but this season light and airy hues of blue, pink, yellow, and green were popular in the ready-to-wear collections. Take some inspirations from the designers!

Pastel colors are perfect for the ultra feminine girly girl! So on your next shopping trip, look out for those Easter egg colors like icy blue, lavender, apricot, mint, and bubble gum pink. Use these colors in your outfits, accessories, and even nails!

Hot Trends at the SAG Awards

Hollywood A-listers looked phenomenal at this year's SAG Awards! Walking the red carpet in some of the hottest designers and styles, we can now see what will be on the rise this spring. I can't wait for the weather to change. Luckily, we have been enjoying some unusually beautiful weather in DC, and I'm definitely not complaining!  Check out these hot trends:

very vintage, boho vibe. I love it! It's easy and cute!

Embellished Ivory Outfits

Can be very sexy, without looking bride-ish. 

 Black & White

This is always a staple, but modernize it with funky accessories and pattern or prints

 High Ponytails

Yes, they're back! Just make sure you keep it chic in the middle of the head...not on top!

Sexy Sheer Lace 

I've always loved lace...it's statement without being too drastic, and makes you feel sexy!

 Daring Backs

Owwwe! Love, love, love this trend!!! It leaves so much to the imagination! 

I'm sure we'll be sporting some of these trends this spring...what about you?
