Fresh Floral Prints

Usually we see floral prints on dresses spring (hello, your mother’s Easter dress), however this year they are blooming in the form of shorts, skirts and shoes. Wear a printed piece while keeping the rest of your outfit classic. Marvelous!

The High Bun

Get that hair outta your face! The high high bun made a scene on many runway shows. It’s a classic and simple look. It can be worn messy or smooth. You can buy a bun form at a local Sally’s Beauty Supply to make the hairstyle quick and easy. Personally, I love nothing more than this bun paired with the next trend…

The Red Lip

Keep your eye makeup simple, and throw this red lipstick on those puckers! It makes your teeth look whiter and skin more porcelain.Tip: if your skin is cool-toned use red lipstick with a blue undertone. Warm toned skin use red lipstick with an orange undertone. 

 



Teal, Green and Blue Nail Polish

The color of 2012 is “Tangerine Tango” and it goes perfectly with teal, green or blue nail polish! This understated green color by OPI “Thanks a Windmillion” actually looks great on a lot of skin tones!

The Pants are the Party

Guys are in on the colored pants trend too! These are found at H&M and come in many colors. Is your man not too excited about bright colors? Try a muted hue in a color OTHER than his blue jeans. Just a little nudge in the right direction will do it!
