Seen everywhere on the runways

and spotted everywhere on the streets (especially NYC).
This trend has been blooming for a little while now, on the runway and on the streets, and I think it's absolutely fantastic.  Come to think about it this trend can be accommodated to any style.  Sweaters, tops, and even dresses with holes on the shoulders are super trendy and off the shoulder/ pieces that have a horizontal "neckline" on the shoulders are super cool too.

There's a new shoe in style just in time for spring and summer!  High gladiator sandals have been around for a while based off of roman gladiator gear.  And I have to admit I have always been obsessed.  I used to have a pair but they weren't as cool as they are now.  They used to be up to the ankle but now even some go up mid thigh!  They are perfect for touristy street style or parties, they work for literally anything. Slim and/or long legs look especially good with the trend. BTW Kendall Jenner is like the gladiator sandals queen.








Colours go in and out every season and this is no exception.  For some reason I feel like there are two winter seasons.  Before and after the Holidays.  Personally I like before the holidays because of the festivity.  I just wanted to share the nail polish I use around this season.  Most colours look great either with a matte or shiny top coat.  Hope you enjoy!


 Nudes... No better way to start off this list with the classiest, understated, hottest trend right now.  These colours give a polished elegant look that isn't flashy yet leaves a statement.  Perfect for elegant dinners or meeting the parents.

Colours (Left to Right):
O.P.I~You Don't Know Jacques!
E.L.F~Smokey Brown
O.P.I~Over The Taupe
O.P.I~Barefoot In Barcelona
O.P.I~Tickle My France
Essie~Comfy In Cashmere
Essie~All Eyes On Nudes


Dark Colours are good for late nights and dinners.  These are the elegant classics.  They look good with any classy, simple, classic outfit.

Colours (Left to Right):
O.P.I~Big Apple Red
E.L.F~Dark Navy
O.P.I~Lincoln Park After Dark


Dark colours are good for nights but what about days we are feeling less cold and dark.  Light Pastels are so cute!  Especially when you are missing warmer months, they are fun yet still cool.

Colours (Left to Right):
O.P.I~Alpine Snow
Essie~Muchi, Muchi
Vogue~Cielo Rosa
Revlon~Pure Pearl


Metals are perfect for the holiday season.  They have the perfect touch of festive fun without being too over the top.  Gold especially is one of the top Christmas colours. 

Colours (Left to Right):
Essie~Good as Gold
Savina~Bali Bliss
Urban Outfitters~Runaway


As I mentioned above metals are perfect for festive fun without looking overdone.  But if you are that girl who likes the fun, statement, flashy looks glitter colours are perfect.  They add just the right sparkle.  They work great for night parties.  But I must warn you, glitter is extremely hard to remove!

Colours (Left to Right):
Sally Hansen~Rockstar Pink
NYC~Starry Silver Glitter
Wet and Wild~Sparked/Etincelante
Urban Outfitters~Sweet Sugar (and it's matte!)
China Glaze~Electrify 


I know this isn't nail polish but I couldn't finish without sharing this with you guys!  IT IS A MIRACLE.  Most times the reason I didn't do my nails was because I didn't have time to let them dry, but with these drying drops I don't have to worry!  They dry in ten seconds. 

O.P.I~Drip Dry

Skinny pants used to be the norm but I feel like this year everybody stepped out of their comfort zone and I hope they do the same next year in 2016.  These pants were popular in the 60s and 70s so they make the perfect essencial for a retro look.  I love this trend because you can rock it anywhere from the streets of the city to the beach and it's so comfortable yet you still look put together and fashionable.  Flowy Pants, also known as palazzo pants, complete any look and never make it look boring!  I was starting to get bored of the same types of pants all the time so these are so refreshing.  They can also look like a maxi skirt.  What is also so cool about them is they complete any street style look.  I LOVE THEM.

                           

 There is a new trend!  And I have noticed it especially in big cities.  Guys, this isn't just a normal trend this is a throw back trend!  The Stan Smith Shoe is making a huge comeback.  This shoe appeared in the 1960s and became extremely popular in the 1980s selling around 22 million pairs.  In 2012 the shoe stopped being sold despite how popular it was.  In 2014 it came back and now I've seen so many people (both guys and girls!) rocking their street style with the Adidas Stan Smith shoes.  Recently I got a pair and it is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned!  I am obsessed!   

Fashion Tip: Pair them with rolled up jeans or with a graphic midi skirt. Both looks look amazing!


                         

         Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the latest trends when the styles change so much.  Now that spring is coming nobody knows what to expect.  Here is the guide you must follow when spring shopping so that you can stay in style.

Colours:  Colour palettes change every season.  The spring palette is usually composed of pastels and nudes but it's way moe complicated than that.  Spring comes after the long dull winter of blacks, greys, and other neutrals. Spring is when the playful pops colour start to appear!  This year will be a very calm year according to pantone.com with cool and soft colours.  Pinks include very calm yet warm colours like strawberry ice, a delicate and feminine shade, Rebecca Minkoff is one of the designers/brands using this tone.  Another warm colour in this palette is tangerine,  oranges can be too neon, bright, and clashy but this shade is a bit more reserved yet still emits the energy of orange.  Now lets move on to the tones that dominate this seasons palette, this palette is so full of the cooler side of the spectrum, lavender herb is one of them, this extremely calming purple will draw pull you out of the crowd but not draw too much attention. This purple hue will look good with toasted/golden nudes.  The blues include aquamarine, a very stress free tone this blue is very popular in the fashion world, designers/ brands like BCBGMAXAZRIA, Cynthia Steffe, and Pamella Roland are using this colour.  The last color I want to mention is scuba blue, this is different from the rest of the palette, this vibrant turquoise really pops! This colour will probably stay the summer too.  The palette is down below including some colours I didn't talk about.

                  Trends:  Trends change so fast, you never know what to expect!  The classic converse have always been a hit, you can rock either high top or low top converse this spring.  The trendiest colours for this iconic shoe are red, black, grey, and white but you don't have to get the classics any colour can make a statement!  Converse look really well with skinny jeans or skater skirts.
Another trend mentioned above are skater skirts.  These really cute high waisted skirts are probably going to be here this spring.  As I said before these look really good with converse, they also look amazing with crop tops.
     Talking about crop tops this trend isn't going anywhere.  These tops look super cute with anything high waisted.
Skinny jeans are so in style too, especially high waisted.  For the warm climate you should get light washed or bleached ones.  I really love the ones from Abercrombie, they are very good quality and are really flattering to any shape.  Also white pants.  They are so stylish and go with so many things!  They sell these almost any where.       
 Military stuff!  This is so trendy, ranging from army jackets to camouflage pants and combat boots you will surely be in style.
    The last thing I want to incorporate to this list is midi skirts.  These adorable skirts can be incorporated in any type of outfit, these stylish skirts are so vintage they create the perfect retro look.  The style you create depends on the fabric, for example if you have a playful design this is the perfect skirt for a modern street style look.                            

    Accessories:  Lastly I want to include a couple of accessories that are perfect for spring.   Statement jewelry especially the ones with flowers are perfect for spring.  These look good with plain dresses/ shirts. Never wear them with clothes that have designs on them.   Bows are so cute and feminine.  These are so trendy and come in such a huge variety of colours, sizes, and designs.  They can also be really cheap!  I want to include colourful bags, these are so adorable for spring and add a playful pop of colour to any outfit.  I really love the ones from long champ, they are really pretty and have so much space, they are also really preppy.
