Couple Trend Updates:)

Currently updating from out of country @ the beautiful Caribbean island Grenada :)

How is everyone's day going? I know I haven't been posting lately but with work and school, and now on this much deserved vacation I've been a little busy. But I am here now!

Now on to the good stuff!
As always I'm checking up on the new trends and outfits; all things affordable and stylish. I love clothes and putting together outfits, but what is even more rewarding is helping someone look and feel better than they did when they first saw me, read my blog, or even came into where I work. That is the best feeling to inform someone on what I love and get them to see how I know they could look. Clothes can set the tone for my day, and I've been into fashion ever since I can remember and the excitement still hasn't ceased. Here are some outfits I found and it was love at first sight!

Lemme just tell y'all about how long skirts have been killing it this season. Forrealllll, I could go on and on with the possibilities of this look. Because long skirts are not only extremely versatile, they are also comfortable and fit all shapes. If you are like me and all women, you won't spend money on a trend unless it gets you enough wears. Let me tell you, it is possible to mix and match for days with a long skirt. Kudos to this trend, it really goes a long way.

I'm not sure if any one else has been seeing these shorts online… but I sure have; everywhere! I do know thought that Lauren Conrad is the designer of the pineapple shorts:) But I have yet to see these cute little pom pom shorts in stores. What I can say is that I can 100% guarantee they are in boutiques. I think the buy would be worth it because I love shorts like these. It my be too racy to say, but yolo, I am not a fan of jean shorts. They are uncomfortable and it's easy for some one like me to grow out of them. The loose shorts are always a much better fit and cool for when it's hot. I'd rather be cute and comfy than have to peel off my shorts because of the lack of elasticity. There are also a couple DIY videos on that wonderful source named the YouTube:) Link here, my lovelies!

Rompers are starting to get so classy. They're not like those old school cheap looking jumpsuits anymore. They definitely have come a long way. As a fair warning I will say that short rompers ride up ALOT if you have big thighs like myself. Always get a size up or pants:)

Now aside from the fact that I envy Nazinin and all her beauty, this first look she is sporting is so street and beautiful! This trend isn't used to often but I think it should, it's very cute and covers your bum if you aren't too comfortable in booty shorts:)

I am so wishy washy. I particularly hate lace. But these lace tops have been catching my eye for a while! They are so elegant and light I just love 'em!

Well, that'll be all for now my lovelies. You're all beautiful and I hope to God you'll come back or tell a friend about my blog! If I gave you some ideas or have any comments, questions or suggestions drop a comment below or just show some love :)

Fashion Do or Fashion Don't?

Hello everyone! So I was flipping through some old magazines the other day, and came across a couple "trends" that never caught on! Some pretty absorb trends get promoted sometimes. I don't know how those fashion sketches got approved! Tell me what you guys think about these unique trends I've seen for this upcoming season.

How about wearing 2 patterns? Hot or not? I think the first look is cute. But difficult for some to put together. I think a lot of people will try this trend with polka dots and zebra print. So I fear for this trends success a little bit! For example, this second look is no go. This is where I see this trend going horribly wrong!

No, no, no, no. I know the high low style is in. I know the print isn't helping too much, but I think this is look is a no go and I have nothing else to say! #speechless

Knee length skirts/dresses? This is a negative for me. My opinion is that the length is too awk. And the shape is not too flattering for all figures. It looks so librarian to me, this one is a no go in my book!

Hope you all have a lovely day!

"Fashion Your Seat Belts"

I'm so excited for summer this year, the looks are so cute and not like most summer trends where it is just a whole bunch of the same print, same look, blahhh. But thankfully I am actually seeing some new trends pulled from something further than last year!

 I've seen this new shape of skirt a lot online. Unfortunately have not seen it in any stores. But I've seen it mostly reasonably priced on Sheinside. So cute. BUTTTT, for real though isn't this second skirt too fabulous?! I've never seen the jean skirt anywhere but on Pinterest. But I so love this.

Basically, this season will be about wither short pieces, or a long skirt/dress. There is no in between. Although it is sooooo hard to shop for something short when you are tall, because it ends up TOO short. Or too short if it is made to be long. So I suggest if you are tall to always try the item of clothing on. No matter the size, it fit different because of the length. In the third photo, these long dresses with detailed backs are the bestesttt. It's kind of subtle and not to raunchy because of the length.

Here are a couple random trends I found as well. I saw a top like this first one on Victoria Secret. It seems as though this top would be hard to style and may not be figuring for all figures…. But it looks great for the summer and I bet it is really cool for hot weather! This second look is that fringe technique that has been all over the place in swimwear. But fringe on a cover up is wayyy more unique than the fringe on bikinis! In the third image, is a ruffle crop top, I love this look so much, toooo freaking cute. Two trends in one for look numbers 4 and 5! Floppy hats are in this summer (big shock), I might actually pick one up this summer I'm starting to fall for the trend! Also on outfit number 5 the thin fabric, wide bottomed pants are in and super cute! I suggest wearing these with a crop top or thin blouse. In the 6th look color blocking is featured. I think it is still in and I'm happy to know I don't have to stock my closet for that :)

Detailed backs have always been a prominent theme during this time of year. But more recently have I been seeing some new looks that I've never seen before. Super exciting and cute! 

Lace has also been a pretty big deal in these upcoming trends. Which I think is brilliant because it is thin and light for those hot summer days. And I am not too big on lace, but it is pretty cute as a cover up, not gonna lie! As far as the life expectancy of these trendy pieces seems short. Thin materials like this tear up in the machine easily, or wear away and begin to look aged. So it may be best to hand wash and let it air dry.

Transparent looks are literally all over the blogs. I think this summer is about cute and comfortable. And I'm all for that!!

These are all the trends I have for now! Hope I gave you guys some inspiration and Have a lovely day!

~Stay Beautiful!
