Spring Cleaning your Closet

So when you’re cleaning out your closet this spring here are a few things to keep in mind about this season’s trends:

1. Belted dresses: Go ahead and keep that adorable baby doll dress you bought last spring. But to keep it up to date with this season just grab a belt — preferably with a metallic finish — cinch the waist and you’ll bring the look into this season.

2. Femininity: You can toss that menswear-inspired blazer you have hiding in your closet. This season is all about femininity. Next time you shop, choose a jacket with a softer, slightly curvier cut, preferably in one of this season’s bright colors.

3. Timeless classics: Be sure to keep those style staples that get you through every season. There’s no reason to part with any of your basics, just ready them for spring with bright or patterned accessories.

 4. Vibrant colors:If you don’t have any in your closet, go out and buy some clothes with color! Color is this spring’s hottest trend, so get with the picture and buy a couple of colorful cardigans and tops.

Six Quick ways to Slim Down

Everybody wants to look slimmer, but few are willing to take the time to actually get slim! So here are some easy ways to look thinner without any work at all:

1. Pouch-covering purses! Oversized bags can double as a stomach camouflage. Handy! (har har har…get it? Handy?) Steer clear of tiny purses as they do nothing for your figure

2. Big belts! Once you see what a good belt can do for your figure, you’ll want one for every outfit! Also a large buckle in the middle of your belt can further define your waist. Avoid small buckles, which create an opposite effect.
Tip: Dark, wide belts are especially slimming.

3. Cosmetic contouring! Make-up can make you look thinner when applied correctly. Apply a light layer bronzer around your chin, temples and cheekbones to contour your face. (And get a sun kissed glow!)

4. Embrace bracelets! Multiple bracelets in bright colors draw positive attention and hide thick wrists.

5. Skinny scarves! Colorful scarves around your neck draw attention to your gorgeous face! They can also be wrapped around your waist as a curve-enhancing belt, too.

6. Elongating Necklaces! Long necklaces elongate your neck, especially when paired with a v-neck blouse. Avoid chokers and other short necklaces.

Thinking of Short Hair?

Thinking of chopping your long locks to a pixie do? When changing your hair style from long to short, you have to pay close attention to the bone structure of your face. The ideal face for short hair is oval or triangular with high cheek bones. A short cut will accentuate your features and create an exotic and sexy look. Well, here are some celebs who chopped their hair. Take a look and see if the short look is the one for you:

Victoria Beckham: There are not too many hair textures that can pull off this look; it has to be fine and straight.

Katie Holmes: This look is super sexy and super chic. But don’t forget you need to be back at the salon 4-6 weeks after getting a short cut. Be prepared to put the money and time in.

Anne Hathaway: This chop-chop was a hair don’t. With her facial structure a shorter pixie cut would have looked better.

Rihanna: She can pull off these hard-core bangs, but not everyone can. Bangs can be very crucial; they can make your eyes look very small and your face fuller. So pay attention to your facial shape when you make the- to bang or not to bang decision.
