Preppy Spring Menswear

With Spring right around the corner, I know exactly which trends I'll be looking out for that I want in my closet. And I'm sure other girls know exactly what they want to be wearing aswell. But I know what I want my boyfriend to be wearing too! In the upcoming months I'm hoping to see him (Aswell as other men/boys) sporting a preppier, more mature look for the warmer season. Trends I want to see in menswear include

-Sperrys/Loafers
-Pastels
-Collared Shirts
-Blazers
-Sweater Vests

Below are some pictures of how I'd like to see more guys dress this Spring

Miley Cyrus Edgy Haircut

When the pop icon, Miley Cyrus chopped off her brunette locks and opted for a much edgier platinum blonde pixie cut she recieved A LOT of feedback from her fans, other celebrities, tabloids, and bloggers. Not everyone supported her decision to cut off her volumous curls, and many people were very nasty. But Miley explained that she had never felt more free until she cut her hair. Personally, i love Miley's new blonde hairdo.

DIY Vintage High Waisted Shorts

DIY easy vintage distressed high waisted shorts.
I actually have had such a hard time trying to figure out which technique works the best when making this look using old jeans. I've tried many different ways but none have looked really perfect yet, but this video seems pretty easy to follow and i definitely plan to try it out in the near future.

Grammy Trend Predictions

The 2013 Grammy's were full of amazing performances, talented celebrities, and endless fashion trends. Here I'm highlighting my Top 5 predictions for trends that will be big this Spring 2013, in no perticular order.

1. Cut-Outs: Katy Perry's mint green dress would be considerably modest if it wasn't for the huge cut-out over her chest LOL. Now although some may consider this revealing dress scandalous, I think its a good way for her to embrace what a nice body she has! GOOD FOR HER. I've seen this trend becoming more relevant at stores like Forever 21, Express, and Urban Outfitters. I see it becoming big in spring time, because its becoming warmer but its not hot yet, so it fits the weather. And its almost a transition into shedding the layers for summer time.

2. Slits: I AM 100% positive that this is going to be a big trend this spring!! I've already seen this trend all over the place, its been featured in Seventeen magazine already and in several urban stores. J-Lo's legs look amazing in this assymetrical dress, but I've seen these slits more in maxi skirts. I like this trend for Spring because its breezy and flowy, and could dress up any simple shirt and sandals.

3. Red: I love this dress on Rihanna just because it seriously makes her look like a princess or some kind of royalty. She usually does something edgy/kind of out there, but its good to see her looking elegant and PRETTY. I predict this color being big this Spring because its so bright and exciting, it could really make somebody's features pop. On a side note, her red lipstick coordinates really well with her dress, i see that being another trend. To me, Rihanna was the best dressed at the Grammy's this year.


4. Black & White: I've always loved black and white just because they're such simple colors that you can match with anything, for any event, during any season. But not everyone looks at it this way, so I hope that this trend becomes much more prevelant this Spring. Especially since Beyonce is wearing it! Everybody loves her, and knows how fierce she is. She looks gorgeous here in her jumpsuit, she also wore black during her Super Bowl performance a few weeks ago.


5. Lace: This trend isn't really new, it was pretty in last summer/spring but it seemed to fade out this fall/winter. I see it coming back much bigger this Spring, especially since people are still embracing the vintage look. I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift, but I love her white lacey dress! It was the perfect length and I love the long sleeves. Her hair and complection look great, I think she looked awesome.


And below, I've included a video of the BEST and WORST dressed! The video allows you to view in more detail how some garments looked during the show.
