But if your like me, shopping for a new swim suit can be a bit of a challenge and stressful. So keep these trends in mind when shopping for the perfect new swimsuit. Try something new, you might be surprised by what you may find!

High-Waisted Bikini

Go retro with a high-waisted bikini. The high waist feature creates a silhouette that flatters any figure. This classic style will make you feel old Hollywood fabulous!

Strapless Bikini

The bandeau style is perfect when trying to avoid awkward and messy tan lines. Whether you chose a plain bandeau style or one with ruching and twisting, you will feel like a true beach babe.

Print Bikini

Tired of wearing the same color or mix matching your tops and bottoms just to add some pizazz to your swim suit? Well I'm here to save you! Try a printed bikini with a lot of color. Even if your into the classic bikini style, prints can turn a drag bikini into a fab bikini.

One-Piece

Back in the day wearing a one piece was frowned upon or considered not to be so sexy. But its 2014, and the one piece is making a come back and becoming a swim suit MUSTHAVE! Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian, are even trying out this new trend.

Substitution in your Wardrobe

There's always unique ways to transition your wardrobe into different seasons, take Spring for example, I've started wearing my cardigans, button down shirts, and sweat shirts with heavier materials to substitute for a jacket. It can work for a 60-70 degree day during the Spring, sometimes I don't like bringing along a jacket and just want to be on the go. Try it out and style it your own way.

Talking About The Abstraction Fall/Winter 2014 Look Book

Came across the Talking About The Abstraction Fall/Winter 2014 Look Book recently, and was very pleased! The styling of each look is very editorial, and Fun.

Check out some of my favorite looks from the look book below.

Shop The Trend

I'm definitely appreciating the amount of fringe going on this season. I'm a big believer in less is more, and all you need is a pop of something jazzy to accentuate an outfit. Fringe is the perfect way to achieve that look.

 How do you feel about the current fringe trend?

7 Ways to Wear a Mini Skirt

The weather is beautiful! That means its time to bring out our legs to play. With all the new trends and fashion statements out there, it can get a little over whelming when deciding how to pull off a great mini skirt look. Especially when you're worried about showing too much skin or flashing your underwear. Cosmopolitan suggested 7 different ways that we can wear a mini skirt, while still being very trendy and flirty. Check out some of their ideas below!

1. Wear a bodycon miniskirt with an asymmetrical top

When one side is more covered than the other, we subconsciously place the hem somewhere in the middle — like taking the average of the two lengths. *Fashion Math*

Keep it Catty!



The infamous "Cat Look" is as hot as a smoky eye but takes fewer steps and way less makeup!! That means no meltdowns ladies!!!  This is also a great way to add a little sexy to your make-up.

Happy Feet

Everyone knows the most important part of an outfit are the shoes. Take a look at some this Spring's must have styles below and make your feet happy!

Oil Pulling for Dummies

As you know I love finding all natural beauty products and DIY regimens. Recently, I was introduced to oil pulling. Oil pulling is an ancient Indian method of removing bacteria and build up from your teeth and gums. It is said to help whiten teeth as well. Though not clinically proven, after a bit more research I decided to give oil pulling a try. It only takes 1 tablespoon of coconut. Swish it around in your mouth for about 20 minutes, spit and rinse with warm salt water. Follow with your regular brushing and mouthwash routine. So swishing for 20 minutes was definitely a lot harder than I expected, after about 90 seconds I was tired and ready to move on with my day. I was able to fight through and last about 12 minutes instead. By the time I was finished the oil had almost doubled in size which was supposed to be the toxins pulled from my mouth. So it definitely looked like it had done some good. And my teeth definitely felt super clean. All in all, I'd say it's worth a try if you have coconut oil already laying around the house. I'm always down for a quick detox!

Sunflower and sesame are oil alternatives if you are allergic to coconut oil.
