Denim shoes for spring 2016 are a huge trend! Denim on denim, and denim everything, is a trend we have been watching grow over the past few seasons. For the spring 2016 season, it has exploded! This is the season to wear denim on denim, denim handbags, and of course, denim shoes!

With the move towards athleisure, and casual dressing for the spring season, denim shoes are a great alternative to canvas, leather, and suede for the warm weather season. Denim has a casual vibe, which also translates into a “cool” factor. This makes denim shoes a fresh, and easy way to make a fashion statement this spring season. Love that!

I love how denim high heels look with casual clothing. They offer all the benefits of a high heel or pump, yet offer casual flair due to the denim fabric. I definitely need to get a pair this spring season!

Denim espadrilles, and slip-on sneakers are a great casual shoe for everyday this spring 2016 season. They look fabulous with shorts, jeans, midi skirts, mini skirts, and jumpers. I did indulge in a pair of denim espadrilles for spring! I cannot wait to wear them with my warm weather, casual outfits!

Denim on denim is a continuing trend from last year into this year. Denim shoes are a great way to rock the trend if you don’t like a chambray shirt paired with a denim skirt or pants. They give the denim on denim look, without wearing tonal denim. This is my preference. I am not big on wearing tonal denim outfits. I like denim shoes paired with one other denim piece. I feel like it is a fresher take on the trend.

What do you think of denim shoes for spring 2016? Is this a trend you plan to rock as we move into warmer weather? Or will you find another way to incorporate denim into your spring wardrobe? Leave a comment below and let me know!

Chanel Roubachka nail polish review

chanel longwear nail polish new formula

Pictured: Chanel Roubachka nail polish from the new for spring 2016, longwear formula collection

Chanel Roubachka nail polish is a deep, dark purple hue from Chanel’s new longwear nail polish formula collection. This new for spring 2016 color offers a dark, vampy color which is mysterious, and alluring. I am in love!

If you have not tried Chanel’s new nail polish formula yet, you must try it! You can find the entire collection online here. This nail polish DOES. NOT. CHIP! I cannot even begin to describe to you how amazing this is! My nails grow, and that is the only time I see my actual nail. The polish stays put; even after cleaning the house, washing dishes, and working out. It is truly magical!

For spring 2016, Chanel Roubachka nail polish is a new color from the longwear nail polish collection. This color is a classic, vampy purple which could be worn during any season of the year. I would love to wear this color in the fall months. I feel like it works perfectly with the upcoming color palette for autumn we just saw on the runways. It is true perfection!

I tested out Chanel Roubachka nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. There were zero chips after eight days! I cleaned my house, without gloves, in order to test the strength of Chanel’s new nail polish formula. It withstood scrubbing the kitchen, four bathrooms, mopping the floor, picking up toys, picking up legos (you know how tedious this can be), and dusting. I also worked out with weights at the gym, which can chip nail polish. Nope! No chips! I had to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming. Chanel Roubachka nail polish, and Chanel’s new formula in general, is amazing.

There are fifteen new colors from Chanel’s new longwear nail polish collection. The collection includes several favorite hues, as well as new colors for the spring season. I never thought Chanel could improve upon their formula, but they did! Wow!

If you see a color from Chanel’s new nail polish collection you would like me to test out, let me know in the comments below. I cannot wait to see more colors added to the collection in this new longwear formula. It is so fabulous!

Chanel Roubachka nail polish can be found online here, here, and here.

Pink bomber jacket for spring and Mansur Gavriel shoes

The weather in the spring can fluctuate from forty degrees, up to the high seventies. This means we all need a fabulous, lightweight jacket for the cooler parts of spring! I always keep a denim jacket on hand for spring, but one jacket can get boring fast. I decided to jump on the bomber jacket bandwagon, and invest in one for the spring season. (sometimes they are referred to as a stadium jacket)

So. . .raise your hand if you remember bomber jackets in the 1980s! My hand is up! Did I just date myself? haha, oh well. I was in grade school in the 1980s, and I had a shiny, green, bomber jacket. Everyone had one back then, they were the “IT” jacket to own; much cooler than those cotton twill things (members only jackets-yikes!) the nerd boys used to wear!

My Mother always told me to never re-wear a trend from your childhood, but weren’t fashion rules meant to be broken? Of course! So, I sprung for this cute little bomber jacket in pale pink. If I am going to jump on a trend, why not in the color of the year?!

This bomber jacket is quite cozy; it is perfect for wearing over lightweight tops. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we need to be able to peel off our layers. The fog will bring in fifty degree weather in the morning, then when it burns off, the temperatures can rise ten, or twenty degrees in one hour. So having a light top underneath a jacket is key. The bomber jacket trend for spring is perfect for our weather! Love that!

I also need to give a shout-out to these Mansur Gavriel mules also known as slides. Did you know Mansur Gavriel is making shoes now? Love them! These slides are super comfy; and perfect for the spring, and summer months. I bought them in classic black so that I can reach for them often. As you know, I am a Mansur Gavriel superfan; so these shoes not only gleam fabulous style, they are extremely well made! Of course price-wise, they are a great value. I don’t know how Mansur Gavriel makes such high quality handbags, and shoes, without the sky-high price tag to go with it! More reason to love Mansur Gavriel slides or mules, and their collection in general.

This outfit will be a go-to for the spring season. I mixed a 1970s inspired denim skirt, with a 1980s inspired bomber jacket, and mid-1990s inspired slides. Why not mix decades? It’s more fun to mix it up. Right?
