Spring and Summer Style Guide; 2013


 "I read. I'll sit down and I'll read a whole magazine from cover to cover."


If it isn't one my tias, it's another..
My mom is always hosting the  morning cup of coffee on her porch. This week it was my Tia Martha who stopped by on her way to work. I love my Tia Martha. She didn't leave the visit without dropping off a stack of magazines. I'm sure they were probably meant for my sister Rosely, but oh well.. too bad bitch. 
 
I've just been moving around SO much in last couple years/months/weeks, that I haven't been able to keep up with a n y magazine subscriptions! I'm hoping this next place I find I love, because it's enough. I can't go on stealing the only current magazine in the whole doctor's office.
 
As I went threw the stack,
I was very happy to see what Harper's Bazaar,
Vogue and Elle have in mind for Spring and up coming Summer.
From colors to prints. Nail polish to lipstick.
I'm both excited and ready for getting dolled up and going just about anywhere with these inspirations in hand!  If you're anywhere near the beautiful Golden Coast you're going love all the cute, flirty and fun looks of the summer. After all, Summer was meant to be enjoyed under this beautiful California Sun.

So for the sake of helping out the doctor's offices here's a quick wrap up of what I found..

White is so white, it's bold.
 Try keeping it simple and on your feet.

Nudes are also hot right now.
I, personally, am in lala'love with this!
 I have to admit, I'm a slut.
For always and forever
Ladies let's not lie..
What girl doesn't like getting dressed up, going out and showing off a little skin in a short black dress?
And since 'girls night out' happens but once a year in the wonderful world of motherhood.. If I can't bare it, I'm going to wear it.

In the world of bridal swatches
we called this b e a u tiful shade of blue
COBALT


And YES, of course I love it! I have a ton of blue in my closet. The deeper and darker, the better!











I think if I ever get married I'll have to pull a 'Carrie' and have each bridesmaid in a different color.
 
Bridesmaid color #1: Cobalt

Spikes, Yikes, Stripes. No? That doesn't rhyme?
Oh well, close enough.
Just remember S T R I P E S . They're so clean and cool for the Summer.
After all, what could be more refreshing than going nautical?
Whether you keep them classy, French and black, Go Gangsta blue or switch it up and make them red..

Stripes are a must this Spring and Summer sailor.








 


 


From blouses to baby showers, I sure am glad going nautical is something my girls, my magazines and I all agree on.

Unfortunately, I am sad to say my Igniting Love is from a collection from late last year.
 
Go for an orange/red color, a little closer to the red side.
It pops on your toes, it pops on your hands. I love it.
Try and find something like it in your local nail polish isle.

Luckily, you should be able to find one of my favorite nail polishes anytime!
First Mate; Such a pretty dark navy.
I am ALWAYS getting compliments when I have this color on.
 
But ladies be quick if you want to grab your bottles of
Mimosa's Before Mani's & Tart-y For The Party
They are part of the current China Glaze Avant Garden Collection

Well ladies, and hopefully the occasional fella'
I know I promised this post a few days ago, but my Wi-Fi connection is so slow at times it was SUCH a pain in the butt to wrap this post up! I guess it could be worse. I'm watching the South Park episode where they lose their Internet. Oh lord, I could be feeling bad. LOL
Plus, in all fairness if it wasn't done late, it wasn't done by Alex!

I hope you feel a little inspired and excited to try one, if not all, of these latest trends.

xo, until next time world.
