Skittles - Wear The Rainbow: Bright Color Spring Trend

  

   

If you haven't noticed, one of of the biggest trends for spring isn't exactly a "new trend" so much as it is appearing all over the place this season. COLOR! We've already covered two of the major colors (Cobalt and Coral) but now it seems that any shade of the rainbow will be seen over the next few months. I can't wait to try colored denim & a fabulous dress in one bright, bold shade for this trend. But if perhaps those choices are as little too daring or aren't your favorite way to express color (though I think you can handle it!) - I've put together a few accessory ideas that any gal (lover of colors or neutral tried & true) can add to her wardrobe.

My personal favorite way to wear color right now - Hot Pink Lipstick. I included Covergirl's new Lip Perfection lipstick in Spellbound because I LOVE this shade and the lipstick itself. It's the perfect hot pink color and super affordable. It is really creamy, moisturizing and doesn't flake. Continued use of it will keep your lips silky and smooth. Keep your other makeup suttle - I do mascara and a little bronzer only - when trying this trick. Some other easy options are a nail polish in a hue you normally might not sport (check out that teal/minty shade) or some pink sunglasses. But if you want to go a bit bigger let's take a look at some celebrity style that you can steal and make your own.

Nicole Richie was spotted wearing an all black ensemble and a punch of Lime Green with her Balenciaga bag. Hers will set you back about $1,400 but I've found some fabulous bright options that will be kind to your budget. Add one for an instant outfit lift. Jessica Biel has also been spotted in a blue Hublot watch that features a blue rubber band. The price on her selection: $23,300. But you can pick up the same casual style for way less than a fraction of that price. Try wearing flats with a funky shade (love these ASOS pink/purple combo) or pair a bright slingback with a LBD/LWD. 

Lastly we come to my new favorite way to pep up an outfit - the colored bra. Rhianna wore an orange lacy one with her crisp white button down a few summers ago. The trick to this look is that you want to look sexy and hot instead of trampy. Keep your look casual with denim cutoffs, boyfriend jeans and long maxi dresses. Don't wear sky high heels - stick to gladiator sandals. If you choose to go with the lacy route - pick a bold color and steer clear of blacks, whites and nudes. Lastly - combine two spring trends by wearing a sporter version under a loose flowy tank top. With Coachella right around the corner this would be a fabulous choice.

Don't feel obligated to stick to my selections here - try out your own! In fact this season it's all about mixing and matching color combinations. The possibilities are endless! Send me pics if you try out the trend - love to feature you on the blog! Happy Coloring loves! xoxo

Poll: Carrie Underwood's 2011 ACM Fashion Choices - Which is Your Fav?

Carrie Underwood is total proof that American Idol really can be a platform to showcase some amazing talent and offer singers the chance to really hit it big. She's not only one of the most well known names in music today but she's also quite the budding fashionista. With her long limbs, tanned skin and super blonde hair she knows how to make an entrance and keep the room (or audience) captivated. Since apparently there are 10 Country Music Awards during the year - I never know which one is the "Most Important" awards - so instead of doing a red carpet breakdown - I thought I try a poll featuring the Queen of Costume changes herself. Carrie Underwood donned 3 different outfits for Sunday night's Academy of Country Music awards and I want to know which one you loved the most.

Carrie Underwood in a purple Jean Fares gown

First look was at the arrival carpet of the ACM. Carrie wore a beaded, royal purple (such a popular color this season) Jean Fares gown. The dress itself has stunning bead workfrom the sparkling straps all the way down to the jeweled hips. She paired this look with Dana Davis shoes and Sutra Jewelry. My favorite part of this look? The back of the dress and that gorgeous ring!

Stunning! Love that larger than life cocktail ring!

Next choice is Carrie's performance outfit:

I think that if I was a musician my favorite part about performing would be putting together my look for the stage. It's kind of like red carpet on crack - you can step way outside the box and your comfort zone and no one will really think it's that crazy. Carrie is no stranger when it comes picking funky looks for her concerts or television appearances (remember thisand this) but perhaps the presence of Rhianna (at the ACM's...? I know!) or her duet with Steven Tyler forced her to step up her game a little bit. She rocked a custom made WTB dress and pink hair extensions. I was just telling my friend how I recently got some Jessica Simpson HairDo pink extensions that I can't wait to try out. This makes me want to clip them in for a fun Saturday night 

out!

The third look was while she sat in the audience:

This last look is my personal fav - Love Love LOVE it! Nude Brian Atwood pumps and a black Swarvoski Cyrstal clutch pair perfectly with this mini dress. Damn - the sequins get me every time!

Vote below in the poll - I'd love to know your choice! Happy Monday! xoxo
