One of my favorite trends from the runways was the “shades of blue” trend. Blue happens to be my favorite color of all time. So, when I spotted designers mixing shades of blue for spring and summer 2015 on the runways, I was thrilled! It was like color heaven for me 🙂 I knew this was a trend I would wear often during the spring and summer seasons.

As much as I enjoy mixing my own blue pieces together for a blue, color blocked look, a print with multiple shades of blue on it is ultimate perfection in my eyes. When I laid my eyes upon this skirt from Express, I knew I needed it in my life.

I love the mix of blues on the skirt. I also love the column silhouette mixed with the flirty splits on each side of the skirt. This skirt is easy to dress up for a party on a warm summer day, or paired with flat, silver sandals for a casual, beachy look. Love it!

What has been your favorite runway trend this summer which you have worn on the street?

Do you love a diamond? I sure do! So when Trendcy introduced me to Homanz’s Diamond Ring handbag I was thrilled! 

Kitschy handbags are a huge trend right now, so why not rock this trend with a handbag shaped like a precious diamond! Homanz’s Diamond Handbag comes in three precious diamond colors; silver, blue, and pink. Since blue is my favorite color, I chose the blue diamond handbag to review. 

The Diamond Handbag by Homanz is the ideal size for semi-formal occasions. It has enough room inside for a wallet, phone, keys, lipstick, and glasses case; without moving into the daytime, medium handbag size-range. The metallic sheen on the leather, and diamond silhouette instantly add a dressy flair to the handbag. Of course, bling can be worn at any hour of the day, so if you want to sparkle at brunch, wear the diamond handbag!

The closure has a magnetic closure which makes it easy to open and close when you are on the go. The handle is easy to carry hand-held, or draped over the forearm. The Diamond Handbag by Homanz is lightweight, so when you add your purse essentials inside the bag, it is not heavy to carry around. Love that!

Homanz’s Diamond Handbag can be found online at Trendcy.com.

chanel mediterranee nail polish summer 2015 review

Pictured: Chanel Mediterranee nail polish from the summer 2015 beauty collection.

Chanel Mediterranee is a beautiful, bluish-teal nail polish color from Chanel’s summer 2015 beauty collection. This fabulous, oceanic hue is bright and carefree; ideal for the summer months!

Chanel is a master at creating blue nail polish hues. Mediterranee for summer 2015 is no exception. This beautiful blue hue is a cross between ocean blue and bright teal. It is a fresh color which plays well with summer’s vivid color palette; and it will look amazing at the beach and by the pool. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Mediterranee nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. The nail polish was long lasting! Chanel Mediterranee lasted seven days before chipping. Perfection!

Chanel Mediterranee nail polish is from Chanel’s summer 2015 beauty collection. Mediterranee by Chanel can be found online here, here, and here.
