Swimsuit season is here! This means it is time for pool parties, long walks from the car to the beach, and other situations which require a little bit of modesty while wearing a swimsuit. Thankfully swimsuit cover-ups for summer 2015 are on-trend, and flattering for the season. 

With the boho trend in full effect, swimsuit cover-ups are channeling this trend by storm. There are tie-dye cover-ups, flowing fabrications, a little bit of fringe, and easygoing silhouettes to cover up your swimwear this season. In addition to boho styles, rompers are still hot for keeping you modest poolside, as well as lightweight cover-ups which can double as a hot weather sundress. Love that!

Rose is the fragrance note of the moment. This means, rose-based fragrances are hotter than hot for the spring and summer 2015 seasons. If you love sweet florals, this is the season for you!

Rose scents offer a sweet floral fragrance experience which is easy to wear on a daily basis. Rose is not an overbearing fragrance note; making it inoffensive to most people. Rose based scents can easily be worn to the office, in the theater, and on warm days. Rose is a versatile fragrance note which works well under cold, moderate, and warm temperatures. Although normally associated with spring and summer, rose can easily be worn in the fall and winter months due to the warmth of its’ natural scent.

Although there are many rose-based scents on the market which offer classic, sweet floral fragrance experiences; spring and summer 2015 are offering new, more exotic mixes of the popular fragrance note. Victor & Rolf are offering a special edition of their popular “Flowerbomb” fragrance infused with rose as the heart of the fragrance. Some perfumers have even mixed sweet rose with far-east oud!

One of my favorite rose-based perfumes is Van Cleef & Arpels “Extraordinaire Rose Velours.” This rich rose fragrance offers a sweet rose fragrance experience which is not sticky. It is smooth and luxurious; much like all the of the fragrances in Van Cleef & Arpel’s “Extraordinaire” collection. If you love vanilla, I highly recommend “Orchidee Vanille.” It is rich, smooth, and arguably the most luxurious vanilla-based fragrance on Earth. Love! Now, I digress, we are talking about rose, not vanilla!

Dolce & Gabbana’s “Velvet Rose” is from the designing duo’s luxurious line of “Velvet” perfumes. “Velvet Rose” is an amazing blend of several rose notes with a slight musky base. This creates an incredible, rose-based fragrance experience, which is sweet, yet not sticky; and as luxurious as possible. 

The rose trend is not just limited to fragrance. Rose-based home fragrances are also all the rage this season. Rose lipstick is also a beauty trend for the spring and summer seasons. Of course, rose lipstick may not look good on everyone, nor will it match every outfit in ones’ closet. This makes a rose-based fragrance the easiest way to rock the rose trend this season. Rose-based fragrances work well for both casual and dressy occasions; and they are easy to wear both day and night. Love rose!

Here are my top five picks for rose scents this spring and summer season. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Summer 2015 is fast approaching, this means it is bathing suit weather! There are so many fabulous one piece swimsuits for the summer season, it can be daunting! Thankfully, we can help let the runway trends dictate which direction we turn for swimwear this season. Here are a few things to look for in one piece swimwear this summer season:

1) Scuba: Remember those brightly colored swimsuits with black or white piping which were all the rage in the mid-90’s? Well they’re baaaaa-aaack! Look for scuba styles reminiscent of spring break 1996 in duel bright colors with piping. You will make quite the splash 😉

2) Cute-outs: Why wear one piece of fabric when you can have cut-outs? This summer season look for unexpected cut-outs which are sure to give you conversation starting tan-lines. 

3) Fringe: Boho-chic is all the rage on and off the runway, so it isn’t any wonder that it is all the rage poolside too! Look for hippie-chic fringe all over one-piece swimsuits this summer season. 

4) Strapless: Strapless one-piece bathing suits are all the rage this season! If you plan to sport this look, no diving allowed. Trust me on this one.
