So for this post I am kind of
combining two ideas that I had. I knew I wanted to blog about style and about
new trends and the kind of fashion styles that I am interested in right now, so
I decided to do a combination of the two. The first half of this blog will be
about my favorite celebrity style icons and the second half will be about
spring 2012 trends. I was going to limit myself to clothing, however now that I
am thinking about it I want to be able to discuss more then just clothes. I
will probably be mentioning nail polish and other little things like that. I
hope you enjoy this blog! Feel free to share your favorite spring trends and
celebrity style icons with me as well, I'd love to hear!

I have a lot of trouble trying to
define my style. First of all, I’m in college and here I usually walk around in
Nike running shorts and a t-shirt or jeans and a sweatshirt rather than trying
to put a lot of effort into my outfits. However, when I go out with friends or
am going to chapter for my sorority when you have to dress nice, I do tend to
think more about my style and what I am putting together and why. I like kind
of the rocker-chic look. I think that Miley Cyrus pulls this look off. She also
would probably add boho to her style description. I also like the kind of
preppy, put-together look such as J. Crew clothing and Vineyard Vines. Lilly
Pulitzer is also very preppy (maybe almost too much for me), but I do like the
southern feel of their clothing. Lastly, I really love it when someone can put
together an outfit that looks so put together, yet it looks like they spent
almost no time on it at all. When I think of this Lauren Conrad comes to mind.
I think all her clothing and her outfits always look so put together and so
casual. With the warm months being here and summer fast approaching, I love the
carefree look. I think in the summer you can wear and pull off all kinds of
bright colors and crazy things you just can’t get away with in the cooler
months. I love summer styles because I think people are more daring and I think
that you have more options of what you can choose from to wear.
Miley Cyrus example:
I really like this outfit because of how casual it looks but still how
fashion-forward I think it is. She is wearing a plain white top that really
appears to be nothing special. She is wearing it with ripped, black skinny
jeans paired with super cute, edgy black heels. This is a good example for what
I like about the rocker-chic-laid back look.
Preppy fashion
example: I LOVE this outfit. Her bright red-orange shorts look so perfect with
her jean button-down top. The top under her button-down top appears to be white
with a pattern that is similar to the color of her shorts. I really think that
this whole outfit comes together so perfectly. I also think that her watch
looks very classy and nice. I would love to own the shorts and jean shirt for
myself, HAH!
Lauren Conrad
example: I admire her style because it looks like something so effortlessly put
together. It looks nice all put together, but when you look at what she is
actually wearing and all the separate pieces she is really just wearing basic
things. I think to master this style you just have to be able to know what
looks good together. Her plain black v-neck and bright red skirt are two very
basic pieces, but when the brown belt is added into the outfit it makes it all
come together. She also kept the look very casual by wearing flats.
It’s finally warm
again outside! That means bright colors and lots of options when it comes to
fashion! In the summer months I think that there is a lot more opportunity to
wear whatever you like and whatever you think is cute. However, I still think
it is good to know and keep track of what some of the current trends are. Some
of my favorite spring and summer trends for 2012 are neon colors, high-low
skirts, and white shorts.
Neon color example:
As you can see in this picture there is a lot of neon going on! My favorite
part about the whole outfit I think are the sandals. Oh. My. Gosh. The neon
pink against a tan looks so cute! I also love the gold accent on them. The
shorts are my second favorite part of the outfit. I think they make a big
statement and look super cute. Her hat and her shirt and jewelry are very
bright and flattering as well.
High-low skirt: At
first I didn’t really know if I liked this trend, and I thought it was kind of
weird. However, now that more people are wearing them they are kind of growing
on me and I actually really like them. My friend just bought a high-low dress
and plans to belt it in the center and I think it looks super cute. Her dress
looks kind of similar to the dress in the picture below (that is belted).
Overall, I think this new trend is fun and unique.
White shorts: I know
that this is definitely NOT a new trend, and I don’t really even know if you
could consider it a trend? But for this blog I am going to consider it one. I
like white shorts because it reminds me of summer (since technically you aren’t
supposed to wear them until after Memorial Day). I like how the white looks
against tan skin, and seriously you can wear just about anything with them! You
can dress them up or dress them down, and I think they look really clean and
fresh.
I hope you found the trends and fashion styles that I enjoy interesting! Feel free to share what you love too!
Lauren
