Spring 2014 Trends

The runway has spoken. Spring 2014 trends are out & now it’s time to get a head start on your Spring shopping ladies! Let’s see what some of the most wearable trends are for this Spring season.

Crop Tops

Honestly, I was never very interested in crop tops until this year. I never really felt like I could pull it off but now I find them to be pretty cute on me. Crop tops have been around for a while and I’m sure a lot of people are like “Ugh, crop tops? Again?” but bare-midriffs are here to stay ladies.

Wide-Leg Trousers

Okay, I am ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED to try this trend! I know for a fact I’ll be able to pull this off. It’s at the top of my list for my Spring shopping spree. Wide-leg trousers + crop top+ bomber jacket = give me life. I can’t wait to get my hands on a few pairs of these!

Tea-Length Skirts

I’m not too thrilled about this trend but I MIGHT try it. I’m not much of a skirt person. If I do wear skirts, they’re either pencil or maxi skirts. I’m not a fan of skirts that flare on the bottom because I feel like they make me look old. However, don’t let my opinion DISCOURAGE YOU! If you like this trend, go for it.

Sheer

This is another trend that I’m a tad hesitant about but I’d definitely try this out before the tea-length skirts. I have a feeling I might be able to pull this off but I know that sheer isn’t for everyone. I’ve seen a few people try it but I’m just like “Girl, no.” Hopefully, I’ll like it on myself 🙂

Slouch

As oppose to body con, figure hugging outfits, the slouchy look is the relaxed and comfortable. It gives the casual vibe. I’m definitely trying this trend out. I’ll probably buy a few slouchy tops and some pajama-like pants.

Fringe

It’s the 20’s with a twist and I’m bold enough to give it a try. I’m obsessed with the fashion from the 20’s so I’m definitely going to go out and invest in some fringe fashion.

Metallic

Bring on the high shine with metallic and iridescent this season! I feel like this year the runway was bolder with their metallic fashion.  I’m actually growing fond of this trend. I’ll probably buy a metallic dress in the near future 🙂

Floral

This isn’t surprising. Florals are always going to be a trend in the Spring. However, designers have unique ways of portraying the trend in their clothes.  The picture above is Michael Kors and he’s one of my favorites when it comes to the floral trend. I think anyone can pull off floral with the right makeup and accessories.

Beauty: Top Perfumes

It’s time for a beauty post ladies! I’m not in the makeup talking mood today. Today it’s all about fragrances! Every woman wants to smell good right? Well at least I hope so! So I’m going to share with you dolls my top 5 favorite perfumes and try to describe them the best I can. If you like the descriptions enough, then hop over to the department store & try it out. Maybe this post will help you find your new signature fragrance!

Issey Miyake Florale, $72

This perfume is femininity at it’s finest.  It’s a very light perfume and smells amazing. Like this perfume can make someone fall in love. When I first smelled it in Macy’s, I just knew I had to have it. This perfume is my signature scent and lasts a very long time. The scent lingers on clothes for days. The scents in this perfume are mandarin, lily, rose, musk, white wood. When I first smelled it, it smelled like roses and musk. Once it sets on my skin, I could smell a hint of mandarin. The rose and musk are the most predominant smells. You can buy it at any department store or Sephora.

Kim Kardashian Signature Fragrance, $50

This perfume is another favorite of mine. It’s light and feminine just like Issey Miyake but there is something a little different about it. The scents in this perfume are jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, tonka wood, jacaranda wood, and sandalwood. I guess the scents of the wood bring it that uniqueness but nevertheless this perfume smells beautiful. The price varies A LOT depending on what size you get, there are at least 4 different sizes and you can buy it online or in any fragrance store.

Heidi Klum Shine, $15

This perfume is on the heavier side. It’s still feminine but just stronger. Still, it smells great. It kind of smells like Guess Gold. There are so, so, so many different scents going on in this perfume so I’ll just name a few.  Some scents include: mandarin, pear, lily-of-the-valley, sunflower, vanilla and musk.  As you can tell, I’m a fan of musky perfumes haha. Musk definitely gives you a seductive scent & for me that’s the whole point of perfume ;). I got this perfume as a gift so I don’t know where exactly you can buy it but I’m sure you can buy it online.

Curve Crush by Liz Claiborne, $25

This perfume was my signature scent throughout high school. It smells just wonderful. I smelled it on my friend first & was in awe. This scent is fruity and sweet and obviously has MUSK = my favorite! haha. It’s not as light as Issey Miyake or Kim K but definitely smells beautiful. When I first smelled it, I thought “baby”. Like the way I freshly bathed baby smells with their Johnson and Johnson lotion. I’ve had guys say it smells like baby too so I know what I talking about lol. Anyway some the scents in this perfume include crushed citrus, creamed licorice, chai latte, and white orchid. You can buy this perfume ANYWHERE. Walmart even sells it.

Haiku by Avon, $20

This was my signature scent throughout middle school. It smells really strong and kind off weird when you first spray it but once it settles into your skin, it smells great. This is definitely a daytime perfume. Some of the scents in this perfume are jasmine, lilies and citrus. I’m beginning to see a pattern here haha and of course it has musk, duh, otherwise I wouldn’t like it. Anyway you can buy this off Avon or online. I always get it as gift so I’ve never had to shop for it.
