Spring Summer Fashion Trends 2016

Question of the Week: As we officially move into summer in the Northern Hemisphere, share with us one beauty must-have for the warmer months ahead.

Answer: I’ve been testing out a bunch of goodies from Colorescience, a new to me cruelty free brand. My summer must have is the Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 30, a powder and a sunscreen in an easy to apply brush. It keeps my skin from being exposed to the summer’s harsh UV rays, prevents premature aging and hyperpigmentation and doesn’t make me break out. It’s a winner in my book!

Please Note: Not all Lipstick League posts are cruelty free.

Top 2015 Summer Hair Trends To Try

Kawaii has had a huge influence on fashion for many years now, quickly traveling from Japan to other cultures around the globe. Some people think of kawaii as strictly an Asian trend, but these adorable characters, candy-colored prints and pastel colors have emerged basically anywhere women who love to wear all things cute live. Some of the most popular European, Australian and American brands have adopted at least some sort of kawaii influence, and it’s definitely led to amazing new trends for spring! I love the ice cream cone and galaxy prints, but there’s a lot to choose from.

Dresses

Ice Cream Scoop Skater Dress, Sweet Home Panorama Dress, Wallpaper Princess Dress

If you love the idea of kawaii, but aren’t exactly sure if you can plan an entire outfit around the look (it’s easy to get carried away, right?), just opting for a single dress and parring down your accessories is a great choice. Even just choosing kawaii-inspired colors like pastel pinks, purples and light blue will start to give off the playful vibe you’re looking for.

Tops

Rain Trench in Ice Cream Print, Galaxy Print Sweatshirt, Wildfox Sweatshirt in Tie Dye

Um hello, ice cream cone trench coat. Pastels look wonderful with light colored denim so you if you don’t want to get carried away, simply pair it with some jeans. Of course, it’s always fun to go all out when trying out a trend you’ve just gotten into, and the extras below will do the trick…

Extras

Pastel Dreamer Backpack, ASOS Unicorn Socks, Bunny Bow Scrunchie by LoveFactoryNYC, Cool Cat Sunglasses

You don’t have to fly to Tokyo to find be able to accessorize kawaii-style (though that’s a major bonus). Etsy is full of awesome kawaii influenced accessories (like the scrunchie), and you can also find fun aqua and pink details elsewhere online. Anyone who is familiar with kawaii knows that this type of fashion is often sported from head to toe, socks to big bow hair accessories, but it’s just as fun to mix and match with other items in your closet.

We all have days when we wear simple outfits but wish for a little oomph without going full on galaxy dress. Whether work requires you to tone down your attire or you’re decked out in basics because you were in a rush, your personality doesn’t have to be suppressed by your wardrobe. Express yourself by allowing your accents to elevate your spirit. Here are 4 items that exude personality without being obnoxiously overpowering.






Bold Socks - There is something delightfully sneaky about wearing wild socks. Maybe it’s because only you know how fantastic they are when hidden in your shoes, or you love how diamonds peek out of your sandals or booties to tease all that you love. Typically socks are a bland necessity, not a unique style accent. Thanks to Living Royal that all has changed. From unicorns to emojis to kawaii style to cats, they have the wildest, most electrifying ankle and calf socks. I’m obsessed!

Statement Earrings - Statement necklaces are an automatic go-to accessory when trying to dress up your wardrobe, but statement earrings deserve as much of the limelight. If you’re wearing a plain white T or chambray top gem stone dangles will add sophistication to an otherwise casual look. If rocker or boho chic is more your style, then grab silver spikes or turquoise chandeliers and let your edgy side shine.

Custom Shape Sunglasses - As of late, I’ve been all about sunnies with a hint of unorthodox design. From the third eye shades of designers Coco & Breezy to my new cat glasses, I can’t get enough. Because you’ll likely take them off when you get down to business, your sunglasses can show off your playful and adventurous side without being a distraction when things get serious. Ever have that awkward moment when someone seems more focused on your accessories than your words? Statement sunnies let you be you, without totally stealing the stage.

iPhone Case - Ok, so it’s not a traditional accessory. But who doesn’t have their phone in their hand most of the time? Unlike jewelry or clothing, your cell phone case can loudly and proudly showcase your personality without being inappropriate for any occasion. With sites like Society6 and Zero Gravity your harmonious life can shine through with the Culture Clash case or you can go feline diva with the Cat Clutch case. Whether adorned in your favorite life motto or encouraging your inner dreamer, your case will liven up everything from a monochromatic outfit to a rich hued leather clutch. No cover is too bold, and every one has a story.

As I get older, I become less and less afraid to take risks and try new things – especially when it comes to style. Whether it’s a bikini or one piece, there’s no reason to stick to what you’ve worn in the past. There’s no better time than now to try a daring new summer look, even if it does mean flaunting a few out of the ordinary tan lines throughout the season.


1. Mesh Contrast – A bikini comprised of alternating mesh like the RVCA Cross Back Bikini is sexy without quite bearing it all.

2. Tassle Triangle – Forget fringe, this Tassel Triangle Bikini Top allows you to accessorize your swimwear with no effort at all. Pair it with bejeweled bottoms for a glam look.

3. Strappy Bandeau – Summer’s most fun colors contrast with jet black in this bustier-style one piece.

4. Kitten Fever – Like the pieces in my kawaii fashion roundup, there’s nothing wrong with adding a little cute to your daily style! And what’s cuter than kitties AND cupcakes like the ones in this ModCloth bikini? Kitties and cupcakes displayed on a retro style swimsuit, of course.

5. Color Block – Taking color block to a new level, this Brazil Bandeau is cut out on the sides and back. Sure, your tan will also be a color block, but it’s worth it to be able to flaunt this on the beach.

6. Racing Stripes – Another color block style, this pastel swimsuit top mixes sexy and sporty with a strappy racer back. It’s also available in a hot pink combo.


7. Versatile One Piece – With the option to go straps, halter, or without, this Minkpink one piece has it all: a supportive underwire busy, mesh side panels and a dreamy floral pattern. Who says one-pieces are boring?

8. Negative Space – Another tempting one piece for all you bikini lovers, the angular cutouts of a swimsuit like this Shirred Waist Swimsuit offer a modern, geo-inspired twist on a classic ruched style.

9. Sporty Spice – Sporty two pieces aren’t just for swim meets. If athletic is your go-to swimsuit style, amp it up with a killer color combo (peach and mint, anyone?) and fun text or graphics like this Mermaid bikini.

There are two kinds of glasses-wearers in this world: those who swear by one pair and would never stray, and those who collect sunnies like they’re going out of style! No matter which category you fall into, it helps to know which ones flatter you and you style, and which – to put it simply – don’t. If you know what works best for your face shape, shopping gets so much easier. If you don’t already know, determine your face shape, then use this fun guide next time you’re on the hunt for a new pair.

Oval. You may have heard this before, and it’s true – oval faces can get away with most styles, because there’s no need to worry about accentuating too strong or soft of features. But with that comes the desire to go bolder with accessories. Both perfectly circle frames and retro cat-eye glasses will make your face stand out.
Square. For a square shape, you don’t want to go with anything too rectangular or square. Rounded specs with thin frames or aviator styles will soften angular features and elongate your face. Like I talked about in my eyeglasses video from way back when, a fantastic rule for face shapes is that generally the stronger/more pronounced your facial features are, the softer you’ll want your glasses to be and vice versa.
Round. So, with a round face shape, you want to avoid anything too round in order to complement your features. Rectangle or wayfarer sunglasses like TOMS Beachmaster sunnies can help balance your look while oversized square and hexagonal sunglasses make more of a statement.
Heart. The only rule with heart shaped faces is to make sure the look isn’t “too much” to pair with your strong jaw line and high cheek bones, especially if you have bangs. Glasses of any shape can look amazing, but rimless or partially rimless pairs like these cool semi-rimmed round glasses or cat-eye club masters will flatter any heart shaped face.
Diamond. Like ovals, diamond shapes often can get away with different types of glasses, though they should to keep in mind prominent facial features like a strong jaw. Wayfarer glasses with thick rims and even cute heart shaped glasses will make your peepers pop if you are of a diamond face shape.
Like I said, this is only a guide – you never truly know what look suits you best until you experiment with a few different styles!

Spring Summer 2015 Nail Trends

Nails are definitely seeing some love in 2015. The Spring Summer nail trends this year are extremely varied, so odds are, you’ll have an easy time finding something you like. Much like makeup trends, simple and minimal seem to be front and center. However, flamboyant is a close second.

Short And Well Shaped

The one trend that seems to unite all of 2015’s major nail trends is length and shaping. Forget about trying to maintain longer nails. Short nails that come just to the fingertip are perfect. Of course, you can’t forget about shaping. Rounded and a slightly squared off oval are the two most prominent shapes this year. A less common, yet still popular shape is almond, though nails should be slightly longer for this style.

Negative Space

You don’t have to paint your whole nail this year to be in style. Negative space nail art requires you to make designs by only painting part of your nail. For instance, a slanted stripe design might leave the center of your nail bare with colorful stripes above and below. Get creative with this one by using multiple colors and leaving the nail bare in different places. Half moon nails are also popular – a throwback to another era!

Glitter And Metallic Nails

Glitter started making it’s way to the front in 2014, but it’s really found its place in 2015. It doesn’t matter what color of glittery polish you use. The idea is to make nails shine. If glitter isn’t your thing, metallic shades are just as popular. They add shimmer and shine without the aggravation of removing glitter polish.

Haphazard Painting

Side streaks, messy polish, marbled nails and random patterns on every nail are huge on the runways. Basically, many of those mistakes you try to fix are actually in style this year. Get creative and be a little messy. For 2015, perfect nails aren’t a requirement. It’s okay to be more natural and funky.

Neutral Shades

While vibrant reds and bold, matte colors are popular, neutral nail shades are far more popular. The trend for 2015 seems to lean more towards nails that match any and everything. Light pinks, beige, white and even clear are all great choices. Of course, black is always an option too as it’s a shade the matches most anything. If you go with black, consider pairing it with white for a bolder look.

For Spring Summer 2015, corals will be big. Choose a coral to suite your mood and skin tone – whether light and close to flesh tone or a bit brighter.

Nail trends are full of polar opposites in 2015. From bright and shiny to simple, neutral colors, it’s easy to find a trend that matches your style. Try them all or mix and match to create your own stylish nail trend. Remember – there are NO RULES – just inspiration!
