Fashion Trends of 2012

The fashion trends of 2012 took everyone out of their comfort zones, especially the transition from your classic blue jean to every color and print imaginable. There is no doubt that a majority of 2012's trends will be carried on into 2013.

Colored jeans were huge this year. Not only could you were bright colors in the summer and spring, you could also wear them as well in the fall and winter. Every single color of the rainbow was worn over the year.

Printed pants and denim made a comeback and now you see people wearing them everywhere. This year not only was the floral print trend in the summer and the spring but was transitioned into the fall and winter as well.

Denim jeans weren't the only popular trend this year, but also denim shirts. Not just any plain denim shirt but add some studs, lace , and different colors to have made it your own.

The peplum trend was probably this year's biggest trend. You probably saw this trend everywhere, in tops, skirts, and dresses.

Over sized sweaters were big this fall and winter season. Best trend  yet, wearing a big comfy sweater.......yes please!

Collars were this year's "it" accessory. Either to be worn as a necklace, or part of a shirt or dress. Different styles can make any outfit.



This year the cap-toe was applied to every style of shoe. Over the year we transitioned from the traditional cap-toed flats and heels and started to have cap-toed boots, especially on the moto boots.

Travel in Style

Holiday season is here and many people will be traveling now. I don't know about you but if I am sitting on a plane or in the car for many hours, I don't want to be sitting in jeans.

When sitting for long periods of time, I like to be comfy but also warm. Leggings are great because they have a lot of stretch to them, making them very comfortable to sit in.

Over-sized sweaters are great for traveling. They are super comfy and warm because they substitute for a large warm blanket. Also I suggest wearing a tank top under because some airports, if you are wearing a cardigan or your sweater is really baggy, they may ask for you to take it off when you walk through the scanner. You probably do not want to walk through the scanner with just a bra or have to wait for a long time to get someone to pat you down.

When traveling I like to keep my feet warm and wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off. If you are traveling by plane, I especially suggest wearing boots because you should also wear socks. When you travel through security, it is best to have shoes to slip on and off, to make the process faster, and to also wear socks so you aren't going through security bare-footed, airports aren't always the cleanest.

Holiday Hair

The holidays are just around the corner so here is some cute hairstyles to try for the holidays!

OPI

OPI nail polish is amazing. Their colors are so opaque and so easy to apply as well as remove. A bonus about OPI is that there collections always come out with great new and fun colors.

One of my favorite colors from OPI is Malaga Wine. This color is a great red and a great color on the nails all year round, especially for the upcoming holidays.

Red Lips: A Winter Classic

It's now December! When I think of December I think of winter and red lips. I love red lips and I think that red lips are a must have, especially in the winter months. Red lips can get anyone in the holiday spirit.



Covergirl Lipstick in 'Hot'
Red lipstick has been a classic for decades. This is actually the lipstick that Taylor Swift uses to get her signature look. If you want a matte red lip look, this red lipstick is great for achieving this look.

YSL ROUGE PUR COUTURE
Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain in 9 Rouge Laque
If you don't like the feel of lipstick and want a more shiny look, this glossy stain by YSL is amazing! This product has a great pigment but feels very light on the lips.
 



Tarte LipSurgence™ Lip Luster Fever-Red
This 'chubby stick' has been a staple in my makeup bag for years. Tarte is a very buildable product and gives you a nice, almost berry red, with just a hint of shimmer.
