Suede for spring 2015

Spring 2015 suede: Skirt / Handbag / Shoes

Suede is one of those fabrications normally associated with fall clothing. Despite this association, designers have decided to break the stereotype and use suede in their spring 2015 collections. This nod towards the 1970’s inspiration found in many designers spring 2015 collections, is a soft and refreshing take on spring fabric.

Although not dominant in New York, suede was favored by Paris and Milan designers on the spring 2015 runways. This soft fabrication found in both real leather and faux, offers a vintage vibe reminiscent of the 1970’s. So many spring trends tie in with suede including fringe and boho-chic.

Suede can be found on everything including shoes, handbags, jackets and skirts for the spring 2015 season. I found a few fabulous suede items around the web for spring 2015. I hope you love them for spring! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Voloom hair volumizing iron review

I have the type of hair that lays flat and also gets wavy. The one thing my hair does not have is natural volume. I was thrilled when iFABBO offered me the chance to test out Voloom’s Hair Volumizer. I was hoping this would be the device that gave me full hair.

I tested out Voloom’s Hair Volumizer on my hair. In order to use the device you have to pin up your top layer of hair. This is easy to do since Voloom provides you with clips. The idea is that you use Voloom’s Hair Volumizer on the hair under your top layer of hair. The volumizer works by separating your hairs in a checkerboard pattern which adds volume. After you add volume to your bottom and middle layers of hair, you release the clips and let your top layer of hair fall over your middle and bottom layers of hair. 

My hair is quite long and I am overdue for a haircut; so my hair has a lot of weight to it. I used Voloom as directed and did see an increase in volume I was surprised to see an increase in volume in my hair! I look forward to using Voloom every-time I want volume.

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish review

Chanel mica rose nail polish

Pictured: Chanel Mica Rose nail polish. Two coats of color, one base coat, no top coat.

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish was originally introduced in Chanel’s spring 2009 beauty collection. For the winter 2015 season, Chanel re-introduced several nail polish colors from seasons’ past; Mica Rose being one of them.

Mica Rose by Chanel is a classic, sweet pink color which is easy to wear on a daily basis. Chanel Mica Rose nail polish is also a great color for the spring 2015 season. Pale pink has been “on trend” for the past couple of years and is showing no sign of slowing down as we move into the spring 2015 season. This makes Mica Rose by Chanel an easy way to wear the light pink trend this spring season; even though the color was re-promoted for winter. 😉

I tested out Mica Rose by Chanel with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. Love that!
