Trend Alert: Mary Jane Madness

The Mary Jane is a shoe that has been around for years. The Mary Jane is generally associated with a sweet and innocent persona but this has changed with the introduction of the Christian Louboutin Daf Mary Jane. Now Mary Jane pumps have been spotted on celebrities for nights out. Sky high Mary Jane pumps are the perfect shoe to add to a sexy outfit to give a bit of innocent girlishness.

Trend Alert: Colorful Trousers

Hi Everyone,

Exciting News: Last night I had my last exam! I am now done my Undergraduate Degree! Wahoo!

Today's post features a popular trend for the spring and summer... colored trouser pants. Bloggers and celebrities have been spotted wearing bright colored pants lately. I love this trend. Color is a fun way to add a pop to an outfit. Colored pants are the perfect piece to use for colorblocking or to just brighten up your day.

Trend Alert: Harem Pants

Harem pants have been popular the past few seasons. They first started to appear on bloggers and since have filtered into mainstream fashion. Every store right now seems to have a pair of harem style pants. I like Harem pants because you can dress them up or down. To wear them on a Night on the Town just add a sequin top, clutch and pumps. To look stylish on those "blah" days pair them with a cardigan and cute flats. Harem pants are perfect for transforming a day look into a night look and are a staple item for the fashionista's closet.

Here are some budget friendly Harem pant options...

Silver Sequins

The snow has really been piling up here. We have had a major snowstorm every week since the new year. So it has been hard to dress for the weather. I cannot wait until Spring!

Two spring trends I incorporated in this outfit were flared pants and scarfs. I've seen many models and celebrities rocking both these trends so I decided to incorporate them into my outfit. Flared jeans have appeared in the spring/summer collections of Jason Wu, Tory Burch and Derek Lam. I think I do prefer flared jeans rather than dress pants. So watch out for a style post on those! Hair scarfs have been very popular in the United Kingdom among celebrities and street fashionistas. The hair scarf is a great way to add a fun accessory to your outfit. I used a silver sequined scarf which I thought i'd never wear again as my hair scarf. It did the trick and I will definitely be using it again.

Are we in the Emerald City? No it's the Golden Globes

The Golden Globes were held on Sunday, January 16th. Everyone showed up to impress. I fell in love with a number of the gowns. One of my favourite trends at the Golden Globes was the green trend. All the ladies looked stunning in their emerald and jade gowns. My favourite out of the green ladies were Mila and Catherine's gowns. I love jewel tones and they proved to be a great choice as everyone is buzzing about the dresses.

Trend Alert... Snoods

How to beat the winter blues? Try a snood. The Snood has been around for a while but has recently became extremely popular. The snood outbreak could be due to the amount of good looking footballers recently spotted wearing them during the English cold snap and also due to some other famous faces wearing them. The snood is fashionable way to stay warm.

I really like snoods. I received one for Christmas and it keeps me extremely warm. I hate taking it off because my neck is so cold without it. Plus they look really cute.

What do you think of snoods? Yay or Nay?
Will you be rocking a snood?

Trend Alert:Turbans

Trend Alert! Trend Alert!
A new trend that a few celebrities have been caught wearing is the Turban. The Turban has been seen on celebrities from London, England to New York City, USA. I personally find this trend really cute, however it hasn't been widely received by many. I think if the turban is worn with the right outfit it can be a great headpiece. It is a very stylish way to keep your head warm on those cold winter days.

The lovely British Helen Flanagan was caught wearing a Turban. Even though I don't find the rest of her outfit too hot, I think the turban provides a different and interesting look.

Kourtney Kardashian has been wearing some stylish outfits as usual. She made headlines wearing this Turban. She received much criticism for it and even addressed it on Twitter. Don't worry Kourt I think it looks very cute!

I think by Christmas, we will see many more fabulous faces wearing Turbans and most likely we will be able to buy them at stores like Forever 21.

What Do You Guys Think of Turbans? Yay or Nay?
