As the weather warms up, the skirts come out! As always, printed skirts seem to be very popular. They're the perfect addition to any spring closet because you can pair them with virtually anything. However, because prints draw the eye, it is best to pair them with something basic, like a white shirt or something of contrast so your outfit doesn't look too busy. Finish off your outfit with a matching sweater or jacket and you're good to go!

Have a fun spring break!

Prom Season Styles

Now we all know that prom season is extremely exciting and one of the best parts is looking for a dress. Now there seems to be three different routes you can go with when looking for a prom dress. You can go with the short prom dress like the one below.

Now I know for us, we personally prefer the long gowns for prom because they are so elegant. Below you can see a very classic style of prom dress with a beaded bodice and a flowy skirt. It is from Sherri Hill which is a very well known prom dress store. 

Now you can also go for the more fitted mermaid style dress like this one. 

And for you daring souls out there who want to try more unique dresses, those can be gorgeous as well like this one.

Overall, if your prom dress fits your personality and your sense of style then you can't go wrong. As prom season kicks into high gear you want to be the one to stand out. So express yourself in your prom dress and you should feel fabulous. 

This Weeks Gold Carpet Update: Spring Fashion Trends

Maxi dresses are making a comeback this spring. In this picture Lily Donaldson is wearing a light and flowy maxi dress which is perfect for a warm spring evening. For those chillier days you can just add a light wash denim jacket or vest for the perfect spring look. 

The crop tops from last spring are not going anywhere. In this outfit Candice Swanepoel is wearing a pair of rolled up mint skinny jeans paired perfectly with a loose fitting white crop top. This is the perfect combination of simple and chic. 

Pastel colors are super in this spring. Here Taylor Swift is wearing a beautiful peach pastel dress paired with a strappy pair of nude heels. Adding a white or beige blazer can take this outfit to a whole another level and its perfect for a nice spring evening out. 

Coco Chanel: Fashion Goddess

Coco Chanel is known and revered as one of the most influential figures in the fashion world from the 1920’s to today. Not only was Coco Chanel way ahead of her time fashion-wise, she created timeless styles that were practical, comfortable, and chic and are still seen with awe today. Coco Chanel did more than design clothes; she created a fashion empire that is still seen as one of the most high-class and prestigious to this day. She changed fashion forever, and her influence on the fashion world will continue forever.

Facts about Coco Chanel

• She invented the LBD (little black dress)
• She made the tan popular
• She made the first long strap shoulder bags (crossbody bags) after she got sick of holding handbags
• She helped invent the flapper dress. She hated the constricting dresses that women had to wear, and she hated corsets. So, she designed dresses and clothes that were a little looser. This style is still popular and is seen in shift dresses. 
• She popularized the minimalist style and brought it into fashion.
• Chanel No. 5, her first and most popular perfume is still one of the most popular perfumes in the entire world
• She won a fashion "Oscar" from Neiman Marcus

Summer clothes are some of the most unique things you can add to your winter wardrobe. Florals and bright colors are adorable in the winter because they are things that you normally do not see in the winter. In addition, the cuts and patterns of summer clothes are very different from those of winter, and mixing summer clothes and winter clothes together adds a variety of layers that look super cute together. Don't be afraid to experiment with your clothes! You paid for them, so you might as well wear them as much as you can. The easiest way to wear one of your summer skirts or dresses (like we did in the pictures) is with tights and a warm jacket. It'll keep you warm, and you'll look adorable!

P.S. Sorry for being away for so long~

This Weeks Gold Carpet Update: Winter Fashion Trends 

Keep it classy with a pea coat and some knee high boots. Pea coats are a great way to dress up your outfit and keep warm on those cold winter days. 

Who said you can't wear skirts and dresses in the winter time? In this picture Taylor Swift is rocking a flowy printed skirt with some tights and a cozy scarf. This is a perfect outfit for when you feel like being a little more feminine and at the same time it'll keep you warm. 

Beanies are so in this season, and they are so versatile. You can dress up or dress down your outfit with the perfect knit beanie. And the best part is, you know you'll be super warm and cute at the same time. 

Yes, No, Maybe So

Winter Shoe Edition

Yes

Tall boots are an essential part of any winter shoe closet, but instead of going for the standard brown boot, why not take a step out of the box and try black boots instead? These boots are classic, will match with everything, and totally fit in with the grunge style that is making a comeback this year.

No

Brightly colored Uggs. Just please no. 
(Unless you're under the age of 10~ then its adorable!)

Maybe So

Doc Martens are they type of shoes that you either love or hate. We're on the fence with these because Doc Martens come in a wide range of styles and colors, some of which are hideous, and some of which are pretty cute. These beautiful ladies pulled off their maroon Doc Martens perfectly, so we've gotta say that it all depends on how you wear them.
