Spring 2015 is here! This means it is time to ensure your beach bag, and your pool tote, are well-stocked with a fabulous swimsuit! Swimwear for spring 2015 is absolutely amazing! There are fringe options, cut-outs, and more! Spring 2015 swimwear is filled with anything but plain swimwear; so store that classic triangle bikini and tank one piece, spring 2015 is all about fringe, cut-outs, prints, and more!

The boho-chic trend, or 1970’s trend, has inspired designers to create swimwear which pushes the envelope of what we think a swimsuit should look like. Any type of embellishment we can think of makes for an ideal swimsuit this spring 2015 season. When shopping for swimwear, consider the current color palette for spring 2015 in shades of blue, pink, varying neutrals, and black. Also be sure to consider the embellishments. Swimwear this season F-U-N!

I found a few fabulous bikini’s and one-piece bathing suits around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish review

Gucci Metallic Sand is a beautiful, rose gold nail polish hue from Gucci’s beauty collection. Metallic Sand by Gucci offers a neutral nail polish look with a twist. The color acts like a neutral beige or nude nail polish, but offers much more interest than a neutral beige or nude through its’ metallic nature. Love that!

Metallic Sand nail polish by Gucci offers a golden shimmer with rose undertones which gives it an overall warm tone. It plays well with both gold-tone and silver-tone jewelry. Of course, it looks amazing with rose-tone metals! This makes it an easy nail polish color to wear everyday. I can definitely see wearing this nail polish more as move into the summer months. It is light and clean, yet offers more of a unique color than a plain neutral. Lovin’ it!

Since the summer 2015 color palette offers a combination of mixed neutrals, bold pastels, and bright hues, Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish is an easy color to wear since it will blend well with all three color palettes. This is fabulous because we will not need to worry about our nails clashing with our clothing. 

I tested out Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat. The nail polish lasted seven days before chipping! Perfection 😉 This is something I love about Gucci’s new nail polish collection. The nail polish is long lasting and offers a unique mix of colors which are fresh and new. What more could anyone ask of their nail polish?

Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish can be found online here and here.

Jay Godfrey presented his fall /winter 2015 / 2016 collection in the Pavilion at Lincoln Center on Saturday, February 14, 2015. The collection was sophisticated with a youthful, fresh vibe. Jay Godfrey used a combination of berry hues, black with gold, soft florals, plaid, and texture. The fabrications included sheer panels, sequins, fringe, charmeuse, and suede. There was a nod to the 1970’s with flares, culottes, a jumpsuit, and a tie neck blouse.

The pops of Marsala and orchid were a refreshing contrast to the somber colors other designers chose for fall. They offered an uplifting tone to the collection as a whole. I loved the floral prints, the color palette, and the texture. The gold and black plaid was a standout look while the floral dress was a star on the platform.
