Crazy for Circle Skirts

I have recently developed a love affair for circle skirts. The popular trend that was first worn in the early 1950s in making a comeback this season in a big way. You can find circle skirts in nearly every store, and in literally every color, pattern, texture, and length, imaginable. They are so versatile, and can be paired with any style top, or shoe. They can be worn with a casual outfit, or with a more sophisticated, and dressy outfit. Not to mention, that they are incredibly flattering, and look great on almost any body type. 

Circle skirts are by far the biggest skirt trend for this spring and summer, and rightfully so. They are beautifully structured, and look great on practically everyone. So if you don't already own a circle skirt, or two, or five, I definitely recommend investing in them. They are guaranteed to quickly become a staple piece in your wardrobe, and will without a doubt get their moneys worth of wear. (and even more) They can be worn to a casual lunch with friends, to a romantic dinner date for two, to the mall for a fun filled day of shopping, or even to the beach on a hot summer day. 

So why not hop on the circle skirt bandwagon, and go a little crazy. Develop your own love affair for them. Trust me, this is one trend you won't regret obsessing over.

Spring Break Essentials

Although it is currently twenty degrees and snowing where I live, I am in fact on Spring break. And unfortunately for me I will not be spending my break anywhere warm this year, but that doesn't mean that I can't still dream of what I would be wearing if I was someplace with more spring appropriate weather.

With that being said, I thought I would put together a list of a few 'Spring Break Essentials' for those of you lucky enough to live somewhere warm, or for those of you planning to travel somewhere warm during your break. And if you're like me, and have to spend your spend your break indoors, sipping hot coco, and watching Netflix, then you can just take it as more of a late spring/summer essentials list.

My Fashion Must Haves for Spring

Swapping out your winter coat for a Denim Jacket, putting away your warm leggings, in exchange for a cute dress, or placing your winter boots back into your closet, and taking out your favorite pair of sandals. Nothing says spring quite like trading in all those heavy winter layers for lighter more comfortable ones. Spring is by far one of my favorite seasons for fashion. Partially due to the excitement of actually being able to show some skin, and partially because of all the bright and vibrant colors that you get to wear. The first signs of spring are always so exciting. They bring with them a promise of a renewed hope for long, warm, and sunny days, as well as the possibility for more fashionable and trendy clothing. Lets be honest, Winter can make it very difficult to be trendy. I mean sure you may have a cute outfit on, but in order to go anywhere in that outfit, you must first put on a bulky coat, along with a scarf, and gloves, and sometimes even a hat, completely covering up any sense of style you had going on. Spring however is different. In spring you don't have to hide behind layers, and layers of clothing. You get to wear your outfits the way you intended to, and you get to leave your house without feeling like a giant marshmallow. So cheers to this spring season season, may it be all that you hope it to be, and more!

Black & White and Worn All Over

Spring is usually the time of year for bright colors, florals patterns, and all the lace you can handle. And although this may still be true, there is a new trend sweeping the fashion world this spring. The pairing of Black and White. It's been seen everywhere, from the runway, to the red carpet, and even on the streets. This unusual springtime color combo has spread like wildfire, throughout the entire fashion industry. So since the best way to beat them, is to join them, I thought I'd do a little research and find some cute Black & White pieces that I think are a perfectly stylish way to wear this seasons hottest trend.

All of the pieces I have shown below are from Forever 21. I personally love doing a lot of my shopping from Forever 21 because their clothing is so affordable, and they're always on top of the latest trends. My personal feeling when it comes to buying really trendy pieces, is the cheaper the better. Since trends come and go, you may not always get much wear out of the trendier pieces you buy, so I like to save my splurging for more staple long lasting pieces that I can have in my wardrobe for years to come.
