Spring Trends 2015 (hair, makeup, nails, fashion)

Posted in beauty, Fashion, Make-up by

I’m so happy to be able to finally put my winter coat away! The birds are chirping and the sun is up when I wake up and stays up until late in the evening. Spring personally lifts my spirits up so  much! I couldn’t wait to write this post, because as I’m sure all beauty and fashion bloggers know, as a new season rolls in, so do new trends! I’d like to give creds to http://www.harpersbazaar.com as all the pictures in this post are from there and I got most of my ideas from there as well!

Fashion:

  Overalls:

Overalls are brought back once again! Overalls are super cute and really easy to style. You can wear anything under, throw any jacket or sweater on, and pair it with virtually any shoes (sneakers, sandals, heels, boots)! Now that I think about it, overalls are definite closet must-have.

Miroslava Duma in Valentino

Ponchos  and capes:

Since there were so many blanket coats on the runway during Fall 2014, I was pretty sure that ponchos and capes would catch on and that soon the streets would be swarming with people wearing them.

Natalie Joos

 All Red Outfits:

Red has always been a classic but never quite to this extent, all red outfits are more and more common. So if you are daring enough, I dare you to try it one day.

Shea Marie

Shirt dresses:

Shirt dresses have caught on because they are so versatile and can be dressed up or down so easily. They also look very cure and are very form flattering. They manage to make everyone appear slimmer than they actually are.

Make-up

At Dolce&Gabbana (left), deep berry lipstick was diffused around the edges for a sultry, stained effect, while Zac Posen and Missoni showed bright, flirty orange-reds.

Flaming lips:

This lip look was all over the runways and is so easy to recreate! To do it yourself, simply apply your lipstick the way you normally would except do not go over the edges. Using a make-up blender (or a tissue or blending brush) simply blend the lipstick out to the ends of your lips. It creates a very sexy yet soft look. Giorgio Armani

 Brown Eyes:

All shades of brown eyeshadow are in this season, it gives a soft touch to any every day look.

Matthew Williamson

Purple Eyeshadow:

Like brown eyeshadow, purple is getting more and more attention. Purple is a great color to really make your eyes pop without it being too much.   Elie Saab

A Pop of Color:

Instead of just using the traditional black eyeliner, make-up artists have found a way of using black eyeliner and adding a pop of color. They would put eyeliner on as they normally would, and then incorporate a bright color somewhere, as you can see in the photo above, it’s in the water line and inner eye. This pop of color adds so much more interest to the eye, I really reccomend you try it! And if you are feeling extra daring today, you can use different textures, i.e. strips of leather, satin stickers and swipes of lipstick in place of traditional eyeliner as many make-up artists do. Jason Wu

I Woke Up Like This:

Opposite to the other trends which were all about color, this one is as natural as possible. All you need to achieve this look is a fresh, clean, and healthy face.

Hair

Carefree, barely-there waves cascaded onto sheer dresses, pastels and floral prints at Marchesa (left), Chloé, Valentino and more for a free-spirited, bohemian moment.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Loose waves:

Barely-there waves are so great for so many occasions. You can create them by curling your hair with a big barrel and combing through your hair. Or if you feel really lazy, when your hair is damp, you can put it up in a bun and sleep on it. When you wake up in the morning, you should have soft waves that were achieved in no – time! Guy Laroche

Long Ponytails:

Even though lately everyone seems to be cutting their hair hair short, it seems that that trend has already ended (Ha! I predicted that here). Long elegant ponytails are starting to pop up everywhere! Celine

Hair Accessories:

Add some clips, bows, headbands, anything really to add interest to your hair. Experimant with all types of colors and textures to create unique looks.  Sometimes, hair can get quite boring so why not spice it up by adding a hair accessory?

Nails

Tibi

White:

Honestly I don’t like white nail polish but lately everyone has been rocking it, so why not give it a go? Zac Posen

Red:

Obviously, red is a very popular color now. With red lips and even whole red outits being styled, I think everyone could have predicted that red nail polish was going to be big too. Thankfully, this season’s nail designs aren’t too intricate and can easily be painted at home! So that’s it! I hope you liked reading this post as much as I enjoy writing it!
