Gucci Abyss is a new, limited edition nail polish color introduced by Gucci for the spring 2015 season. This deep, navy blue nail polish is a beautiful deep blue hue; and an easy color to wear this warm weather season.

Shades of blue are a huge color trend for the spring 2015 season. This makes Gucci Abyss nail polish perfect to wear during the spring season since navy is in the blue family! This navy blue hue has a nautical feeling to it, and the dark saturation of the color makes it ideal for transitioning from winter 2015 into spring 2015. Love that!

I tested out Gucci Abyss nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The polish lasted eight days before chipping! I love that about Gucci nail polish. It is always long lasting. Another feature about Gucci nail polish to love; the application brush, which is really easy to use. The nail polish glides on easily and smoothly with the soft, medium width brush. There are never any streaks, and the mess is minimal.

The color difference on my nails in the photo above is due to the position of the sun when the picture was taken. I missed golden hour so I had to take the picture in direct sunlight. This caused an odd reflection on the side of the nails. Trust me, the color is even and luxurious. 🙂

Gucci Abyss nail polish for spring 2015 is limited edition. It can found exclusively online here.

The sleeveless jacket has been a growing trend over the past few seasons. In the fall and winter seasons, capes and sleeveless jackets were a huge hit on the street. As temperatures start to rise, and we move into spring, the trend has evolved into sleeveless jackets and vests. 

The sleeves jacket and vest trend is a great way to elevate an otherwise ordinary office look, or casual ensemble, into a modern, of-the-moment, masterpiece! A sleeveless jacket or vest can top off a pair of jeans paired with a blouse, or tee-shirt; giving the look instant polish. This trend can also take an old pair of black, office appropriate trousers paired with a blouse or shirt, to a whole new level. It is the ideal alternative to a blazer when temperatures rise. Love that!

There are many different styles of sleeveless jackets and vests on the market this spring 2015 season. The “IT” styles this season include; long and boxy, long and fitted with a belt, denim jacket vests, leather biker vests, and military jacket styles without sleeves. With all of these options, there is something for every lifestyle!

I found a few fabulous sleeveless jackets and vests around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! I have my eye on the two featured at the top of this post. #WishList

Mini bags for spring 2015: Black mini bag / White mini bag / Cobalt blue mini bag / Fuchsia mini satchel / Polka Dot mini convertible satchel

Mini bags have been a huge trend over the past few seasons; and the trend is showing no sign of slowing down as we move into spring 2015. Consumers love this trend, which means mini bags are hot on the streets; mainly in the form of cross body bags and satchels.

If you already have a mini bag from a past season, you are all set! If not, this is the perfect time to invest in a mini bag for the spring and summer seasons. If you are looking for a shoulder bag version, look for a strap which can be worn cross body. The handbag silhouette should be rectangular or round. These are the two hottest silhouettes! Some designers are showing patterns such as polka dots, while other are showing kitschy designs such as monster face. The most popular style is being in a solid color. Look for  neutrals, shades of blue, pinks, red, and cheery yellow.

Mini satchels catch your eye? Look for east/west silhouettes and squares. Mini satchels are a great way to wear the mini bag trend and not sacrifice too much on interior space. Mini satchels tend to be roomier than mini shoulder bags. Designers are showing mini satchels mainly in solid colors; although, you will find a few color blocked versions on store shelves. Look for suede blocked with smooth leather; or canvas blocked with leather. Love that!

Mini bucket bags and drawstring bags are also on the market for the spring 2015 season, although, not as popular as the shoulder bag and satchel versions. Drawstring and bucket bags are a great way to wear the mini bag trend if you are worried about fitting things into a small handbag. Since the bottom of the bag is round, there is quite a bit of room inside a mini drawstring or mini bucket bag. This is a great way to wear the drawstring or bucket handbag trend if you feel like the traditional versions are too large. The mini version will be perfect for you!

Here are a few fabulous mini bags for spring 2015. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
