Spring Trends & Giveaway

The trees are starting to show their buds and there's a smell of Spring in the air? Warm weather is on the way! Don't get caught without some of this seasons hottest trends. I looked at Elle Magazine's trend report for the upcoming season and out of all the trends, these seem to be my favorite.

Peplum:
Peplum tops are all the rage now. In the 80s, they were popular for their slimming effect on the waist. I personally love these. Whether you are going for a dress or a top, the peplums are very flattering on any body shape. I just recently bought my first peplum top for only $8. You can see it in my ootd. You can get a similar one at Kohls for $10. I also found a peplum dress from Forever 21 at a good price.

Cut-Out Dresses: 
I love these cutout dresses. They let you show off a little skin without feeling self conscious. I don't have one of these, but I definitely plan on getting one! I found some at Forever 21 such as this one and a pretty dressy one at Nasty Gal. I also really liked the Asos cut-out dresses such as this really sexy one.

Tailored Shorts:

I only recently starting having an interest in tailored shorts, but I can say that they're very classy. Instead of tight colored shorts, try the J.Crew Factory for tailored shorts like these (shown above in purple). I also found that American Eagle had some nice tailored-looking shorts.

Organization is super important to me. I've always been one to make lists and clean out my bag all the time. I organized the shelf in my room and I think it looks pretty awesome now. My dad actually built and painted this shelf for me last year so I had a place to put my books and fancy perfumes. I have a heart shaped tin that I got from my best friend, Brenda a while back. Inside it, I keep my rock collection. A little nerdy, I know. The next section has perfume and Essie nail polishes, then a Tiffany & Co box, Chanel perfume, Gilly hicks perfume, a little tin bucket. In the bottom sections, I have my books and journals, an empty wine bottle, Taylor Swift perfume, Daisy perfume, my coin collection and a Victoria's Secret Dog. For a little while this year, I had some interest in interior design, so what do you think? Hopefully this can inspire you to organize or do some spring cleaning soon!
