Pink is here to stay! At least for now. . .

Pink for summer 2017 has taken on many forms for the warm weather season. While the runways gave us blush, aka “Pale Pink,” aka “Millennial Pink” (why do they get their own color?), and also bright pink; the streets have given us pink in every shade imaginable. Seriously though, why does the Millennial generation have their own color? If they get their own color, those of us in GenX should have our own color too! Right?? Ugh, but I digress, we are chatting about pink for summer 2017.

Designers showed pink in every way, shape, and form, for the warm weather season.  This means, we can rock the pink trend through apparel, accessories, and/or beauty products. Love that!

pink beauty products: lipstick / bright pink nail polish / medium pink nail polish

Of course pink nail polish is an easy way to rock the pink trend everyday of the week without having to think about incorporating pink into our wardrobes. As pretty as pale pink nail polish is for summer, I prefer medium and bright pink hues.When it comes to lipstick, any shade of pink looks amazing in my humble opinion.

Although designers have been steering towards mirrored silver accessories as we move into 2017, rose gold is still relevant and on trend. Rose gold is amazing because it blends with any shade of pink; or works as a way to rock the pink trend if you don’t want to actually wear pink. There is also something fresh about rose gold since it has not been as on trend as it is right now, in a few decades. This could be why I am so drawn to rose gold. Addicted!

Denim for spring 2017 is a huge trend which originated on the runways. Of course, one could argue that denim is always hot, but this season, it is hotter than hot! So it ground-breaking, in a way. Ha!

This is a fabulous trend for spring and summer since denim is casual by nature; and denim is always comfortable! This means you can look fashionable, and fabulous, while wearing something practical, washable, and comfortable. Love that!

Denim is being found on everything for spring from shoes to handbags to accessories to clothing. There is something for everyone in denim this season. Even on a hot summer day, when jeans are too thick, you can rock a denim handbag or a pair of denim shoes, and still be wearing the denim trend for spring and summer.

In the collage above, I placed my favorite pieces in denim for spring 2017. I have also included more of my favorite denim pieces for spring in the scroll bar below. How do you plan to wear denim for spring this year? Is this a trend you plan to rock for spring and summer 2017?

The spring season is here! This means it is time to start rocking those spring trends! The biggest trend from the New York Fashion Week runways for spring/summer 2017 was stripes.

Stripes for spring 2017 are cutting-edge, fresh, and taking us in an entirely new direction. This is trend a to have fun with, mix up, and enjoy for spring! Love that!
