One of the biggest trends in denim this spring season is the embellished denim trend. I have always loved embellished denim, but have always been a little fearful that they would be hard to wear; or that I would somehow ruin the embellishments on the first day I wore them.

Now that my kids are getting older, I feel like I can wear nicer things without having to worry about getting my kids accidentally getting me dirty, or grabbing my clothing and tearing something. I have to admit, I have been pretty lucky. Although my kids have stained my clothing with pasta sauce covered hands, mud covered shoes, and spilled milk over the years, out of all three of my children, only my oldest actually broke something. When she was a toddler she grabbed my necklace and broke the chain. I think that is pretty good considering I have three active kids! But I digress. . .back to embellished jeans for spring!

I have always loved having a 1970s vibe in my personal style. So, when I spotted these embellished denim flares for spring, I thought they were the perfect pair of jeans for me to rock the embellished denim trend this season. Although flares aren’t the hottest denim silhouette this season, they are considered a classic style and can be worn this spring despite the fact that boyfriend and girlfriends jeans are the IT styles of the season. Flares are a great alternative to boyfriend, girlfriend, and cropped jeans.

This pair of embellished denim flares has a combination of embroidery and bead-work. The embellishments are full of color, and it is fun to pick up on of the colors and accessorize it. I pulled the yellow for my nails, and the mint green for my earrings. I went with my favorite go-to black tee, because, well, it’s is really comfortable and I love how it looks.

These jeans will be fun to wear throughout the season. They can be paired with platform espadilles and sandals. They can also be paired with all different colors of tee’s for the warm weather.

Five spring jackets we all need now

 in General Fashion / Shopping  tagged jackets / outerwear / spring 2018 by

Spring 2018 is here, and since spring is a transition between winter and summer, it often serves up differing temperatures. One day will be eighty degrees, and we find ourselves wearing shorts, while other days the temperatures will dip into the low fifties, and we find ourselves reaching for a jacket.

Although we find ourselves needing something to keep us warm in the spring months, a winter coat is just too heavy and will make us hot! The perfect spring outerwear it a lightweight jacket or kimono. Spring outerwear is great for completing an outfit and dressing up a simple tee and jeans look. Without further ado, here are a few spring outerwear ideas to keep you warm when temperatures dip.

Spring 2018 outerwear: leather jackets

Leather jackets are the most classic form of outerwear for the spring season. Look for moto styles, and waterfall silhouettes.

Spring 2018 outerwear: kimonos

A kimono is an instant outfit enhancer. Throw one over a tee shirt and you have a fabulous outfit! They work well with jeans, shorts, and skirts!

Spring 2018 outerwear: military jackets

Military jackets and camo jackets are also a spring stand-by. This classic style is ideal with denim; but can also be thrown over other casual looks. This is something to invest in for many spring seasons to come!

Spring 2018 outerwear: menswear blazers

The menswear look is hot right now, so a menswear inspired blazer is a fabulous way to keep warm on chilly spring days. They look tailored and pull together any look.

Happy April! Now that spring is here, it is time to move into a spring color palette. I wear the same cocoa eye liner all year long, but I like to switch up my eye shadow and lipsticks as the seasons change. I love these new lip glosses from Urban Decay, and these new sheer lipsticks from L’Oreal Paris are perfect for the warmer weather. They are offered in fabulous colors, and moisturize my lips. Love that!

I love lipstick hues in shades of pink and purple. These pink and purple shades from Urban Decay and L’Oreal Paris are perfect for the spring! They are vivid enough to be seen, and light enough to blend with spring 2018’s color palette. Love!

When it comes to eye shadows, I tend to stick with neutrals. I love this eye shadow palette from Urban Decay. It has a wide range of neutral colors which can take me from day to night. The three light shades are my favorite; and are my go-to colors daily!
