1. Waist Cincher

via thebrunettesenseofhumor.com

Waist cinchers were introduced during the fashion weeks earlier this year and some of the most popular fashion bloggers were the first to be seen wearing it. One of them is the Italian blogger behind The Blonde Salad – Chiara Ferragni. Soon after this, waist cinchers became really popular and today you can easily find them together with a shirt, blouse or dress.

2. Banker Stripes

via stylebriefs.com

The banking world has now more influence in our lives than just in our finances. The fashion world took some inspiration from the banker’s wardrobe and it came out as one of the biggest trends for this year. Blue with white stripes is the most common of the banker shirts and blouses we see now, and considering how summer-y the whole stripes thing is, we’re sure that we’re going to see a lot more of it.

3. Off the Shoulder Cut Outs

via marieclaire.co.za

Off-the-shoulder became a popular trend last summer and we can totally see why it’s going to be for this one as well. It’s really feminine and has those summer vibes – let’s say that it really is the perfect summer outfit, no matter if it is a dress or a shirt. However, unlike last summer, this one the off-the-shoulder look got a little bit modified – it’s all about being asymmetrical now with huge sleeves, cut outs and bows.

4. Khaki

via harpersbazaar.com

Forget about khaki pants – this summer is all about being just khaki-inspired. The color and the material remain the same, but it’s the shirt that matters. This summer we’re going to see a lot of asymmetrical pieces, so when you combine these two trends into one, we’re pretty sure that you’re going to look like a real street style star.

5. Robes

via now.ruelala.com

Robes are a new trend and we’re definitely looking forward to see more of it. There’s something very elegant about the way they’re included in this year’s fashion trends! You can choose to wear a robe just like the picture, but we’re seeing more and more robe dresses, so that’s something worth trying as well. It will be ideal for those hot, summer days!

6. See-Through Skirt

via thezoereport.com

We’re back at Chiara Ferragni’s style file – she isn’t a style influencer for nothing! During the fashion weeks earlier this year, she wore a see-through black skirt matched with a graphic t-shirt and a blazer. It was a real Parisian look that we’re going to see way more often during this summer – maybe not all of it, but the see-through skirt for sure.

7. White Shirt Dress

via madmazel.gr

The over-sized, boyfriend shirts that we can never have enough of will always be in style in this way or another. They are comfortable to wear, leave plenty of space for experiment with accessories and they look super stylish! You find cheap dress shirts such as this one in many stores, or you can just borrow one from your boyfriend.

8. Sequins

via styledumonde.com

Glitter all the way, and they will catch everyone’s attention for sure! Turning heads on a shiny outfit is something that is hard not to do. We can completely understand if a dress all covered in sequins is too much glittery for you, but luckily there are many other sequin pieces that you can wear and you can easily match with other stuff from your wardrobe.

9. Artsy

via stylesprinter.com

It kind of reminds us of pop art, so for all of you out there who are huge fans of art this season you can find many pieces design in the spirit of art. Bold colors, crazy shapes are just few of the things why we love this trend so much. While most of the other trends are aimed at making us look all elegant and classy, this one is charming in its own unique way.

10. Yellow

via styledumonde.com

This bright, happy color is rarely seen on clothes comparing to the other colors. It’s a bit of an unusual choice for a color, but that doesn’t mean that you should give it a try. There were many designer who had yellow in their spring/summer collections and as you can see, the street style responded positively to this trend.

From berry red to coral orange, wearing a bold lipstick is what dominated the runway. Valentino, Simone Rocha, Dolce&Gabbana and Jason Wu were just few of many other designers who went for this kind of makeup statement. The perk here is that everyone can afford a tube of lipstick and we all know what a great booster of confidence can a lipstick be!

2. Pink Shimmer Blush

This is a great way to boost your makeup routine. Making your cheeks blush can look so nice if you apply your makeup the right way! It’s a great makeup option if you’re interested in achieving the “no make” look. The models at Reem Acra and Chanel proved us how good it looks.

This is one of the new trends that we’re sure that’s going to stick around this year. Models were seen wearing glitter even outside of the runway, showing us how good it looks! You have to be really careful when applying glitter – you don’t want to have too much of it on your lips, instead try to balance color and glitter.

5. Glossy Skin

via teenvogue.com

Good skin care is a must, especially if you want to achieve the glow-y effect. It’s really hard to have it naturally, but luckily there are so many beauty products that can help us with that.

6. Boyish Brows

via modellove.tumblr.com

This isn’t new trend, but is still on-going. Natural, full eye brows is something we see on and out of runways since Cara Delevingne stole our hearts and we love it. Instead of plucking your eyebrows every week, let them grow as much as you can and just shape them by giving them the boyish look.

7. Smokey

via thebeautymodel.com

Smokey is one of the makeup styles that never goes out of style, but made difference this time is that it is accompanied by smudged look as well.

It creates a mysterious, sexy look – you might want to give it a try next time you go out with friends.

Glitter wasn’t just on the lips or eyelids, many makeup artists apply it even as underliner. Here’s one new trend that we’re really looking forward to! You can use glitter or shimmery eyeliner instead of mascara or if you feel like this isn’t the right for you, how about applying tiny crystals such as these?

9. Watercolor Makeup

For someone who only knows how to apply mascara and lipstick, this kind of eye makeup will be hard at first to achieve, but once you got it right, it will make you feel so good! The watercolor effect was seen on models and is going to be a trend this year, so prepare to see more of it.

1. Graphic Eyeliner

via

Graphic eyeliner, or negative space eyeliner, involves applying eyeliner in a cut out design. You can trace the outline of winged eyeliner without filling in the space between the lines, or you can apply eyeliner around your lash line as you normally would and then add an extra detached line in the crease of your eyelid.

This cut out eyeliner trend is unique and can look chic and sophisticated. However, it doesn’t always work out well for beginners in the realm of eyeliner because it requires sharp, precise lines to have the right effect. Black liquid eyeliner works best for creating graphic eyeliner and it is vital to use a high-quality liner and eyeshadow primer to prevent your look from smudging throughout the day.

2. Sandbagging

via

This makeup trend is useful as well as fashionable. It involves buffing a liberal amount of loose powder into the areas of your face that often get greasy throughout the day, especially in the hot summer months. Sandbagging includes adding extra loose powder to your skin underneath your eyes and under your cheekbones around the bottom edges of your lips.

This makeup trends helps keep unattractive shine and oil from accumulating on your skin throughout the day and prevents your face makeup from fading and melting. It also creates a very matte, smooth finish for your face that lasts all day. When sandbagging, however, you need to be careful to sufficiently blend the loose powder you apply into your skin in order to avoid looking chalky and cakey.

3. Colored Mascara

via

Colored mascara is a highly sought-after makeup trend at the moment. Wearing colored mascara is a great way to add a bright pop of color to your makeup look without looking too colorful or over dramatic. This makeup trend adds brightness and whimsy to your makeup look while drawing attention to your eyes to make them stand out.

To apply colored mascara that really pops and doesn’t just blend into your eyelashes, apply a white mascara base first to prime your lashes. Then, apply two to three coats of colored mascara to cover up the white base and coat your lashes in bright color. Make sure to invest in a colored mascara in a hue that complements your natural eye color. Never match your mascara to your eye color; instead, opt for warm tones like orange or gold if you have blue eyes, pink or purple if you have green eyes, and blue or green if you have brown eyes.

4. Red Lipstick

via

Red lipstick is always in; it’s a timeless beauty classic. However, right now, red lipstick is taking over the beauty world and is definitely one of the top five makeup trends you should try. Matte red lipstick is especially popular, but you can wear it in any formula or finish you want. To stay in line with the trend, it’s important that the lipstick you wear is a true apple red, however, not brick red, rust, orange-red, or a darker burgundy color.

When applying your red lipstick, use a lip liner around the edges of your lips to keep your lines precise and your lipstick neat. Pair the dramatic red lipstick with natural eye and skin makeup with a matte finish to really let your lipstick shine as the focal point of your makeup look.

It is so difficult to be in style all the time with fashion changing every day. There are some trends that never lose their popularity. Of course I am talking about tattoos! But, tattooing is not only a fashion statement! It is passion, expression, confession, compulsion, obsession and others -sions) only with positive meaning. It’s a bold and stylish way to demonstrate your individuality, to mark your creed, to stamp your beliefs for all to see.
Still, there are trends in tattoo fashion as well. Let’s find out what are the latest and the most fabulous styles in the tattoo world.

1. Finger tattoos

A small tattoo attracts attention no less than a larger tattoo that is especially immediate of interest for girls. Finger tattoos look fricky and exotic. It is a vibrancy of its own! It’s a true art that recently became a trend. Celebrities picked up this trend with great pleasure. Now finger tattoos adorn Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and many other famous ladies. A tattoo actually so fun to have! By the way, you can start your tattoo experience with finger tattoos, as long as it doesn’t attract a lot of attention and they look so darn classy.
There’s a lot of room for imagination here – lines, bizzare symbols, infinity signs, simple letters or words, cute tiny portraits, nice patterns… Finger tattoos are easy to get creative with; simply think of a concept and rush to your tat master. By the way, you should be careful choosing an ink slinger, as tattoo on fingers loose color really quickly, because you’re always doing something with your hands. So think of artwork that can be easily amplified (re-drawn) later. If you decide to apply a finger tattoo better choose bold patterns and black or dark blue colors.

2. Couple tattoos

Getting a “Couple’s Tattoo” is an amazing and sincere way to express your love. The Couple’s Tattoo is about everlasting, forever love. It looks so touchy! It means you committed to your beloved till the end of your life, as inks last forever.
Couple tattoos can be matching or the same; can have particular meaning that is understandable for only the two of you or just the love quotes you like. They can be funny or inspiring.
Either it is your boyfriend or best friend, you must be pretty sure you wanna keep lifelong ties. Think carefully before getting a couple tattoo, so that you won’t regret it later. As soon as you are absolutely sure that this is THE love of your life – surf for ideas and designs or create something with your partner that the two of you will adore forever.

3. White tattoo

White ink tattoos are gaining popularity by leaps and bounds. These tattoos are made with white inks than can look really subtle and makes it even more cryptic. Remember the white tats are inked with more thickened inks to make it visible, so it may look incuse. It completely differs from regular tattoos in style and technique and they can be slinged with UV inks that make it glow!
Plus, unlike regular tattoos white ink requires special care and treatment – they take longer to heal so you need to keep it covered and away from the sun. If you don’t, your tattoo can become yellowish or grey or even disappear completely. Depending on the skin tone white tats may look like scars, so think of it more like branding rather than a tattoo.

4. Under boobs tattoos

Tattoos long ago stopped being an attribute or symbol of youth rebellion or of brutal rock musicians. Today under breast tattoos have become extremely popular among women. Under-boob tats can both draw attention for the right person or it can be easily concealed from prying eyes.
Depending on the temperament, beliefs and world views girls choose different patterns.
So romantic and dreamy souls can choose amazing butterflies, birds or flowers, esoteric and mystic minds would find variable sacred symbols, images of animals with suitable traits or symbolic images, thoughtful and sensible spirits prefer wise and meaningful inscriptions. Anyways, this tattoo can be feminine or can emphasize tough character, so there is something that will suit every girl.

5. Ribs tattoos

Among the huge variety of tattoos, rib tats occupy a special place. They are usually chosen by creative people wishing to express themselves, to tell the world about their feelings, but at the same time not to attract attention in everyday life. A large area allows to sling on the body not only the whole poem, but also a luxury picture that can be later extended to the back, shoulder, boobs or stomach.
Rib inks are specially admired by celebs that proves again it is a high trend. Inscriptions are the most widely spread on this area. A variety of curls, sizes and boldness of the letters allows you to create an imitation of antiquity of thoughts on the body, which looks really cute. The only minus is that it’s one of the most painful places to get a tat! Well, who else but girls know – beauty requires sacrifice!!!

6. Under ear tattoos

If you are a fan of tiny inks, you’ll love this trend the most. Women always like to attract attention to ears, it is very sensitive and sexy place on female body.
So, as the fashion goes forward; ear piercing is no longer enough. Here comes under ear tattoos. It’s very comfortable – it doesn’t meet the eye, you can hide it behind your hair and it is truly creative. The most eye-catching for under ear tattoos would be hieroglyphic symbols or half round patterns that reflect the shape of your ear. But, you don’t have to stick just to that! Create your own style applying other images or patterns on your body. Any ink will look fascinating under the ear.

7. Tattoos inspired by books

This amazing type of tattoo became in vogue most recently.
Do you love “Alice in a Wonderland”? Is “The Lord of The Rings” your bed-side book? Pick a hero or saying and let the master transform it into a tattoo!
It doesn’t matter what books you love reading – fantasy novels, the classics or detective stories. Whatever you choose, tattoos inspired by books will never look dull! You can limit it to the text, or expand it to a portrait, here is the vast space for your imagination and for your favourite ink slinger.

Tattoo fashion can vary, but a love of books, authors and heroes will be eternal!
Applying such tats you are becoming an art bearer. For tattoed people, inking is more than just images, it is a whole philosophy, it is about developing one’s life vision. So, think of it, when you combine art and philosophy… it immediately becomes a masterpiece!

This year Coachella Festival went hard for floral prints, gypsy accessories, boho style, vintage denim, high-waisted shorts, crop tops, beachy hairstyles, ombre colors, juicy robust lips and chick headbands. All of these trends will dominate the festival fields and beach-party events all summer long. It would seem the music was the center of attention but who cares when damn classy people and celebs unleash their inner hippie in a slew of the show-stopping looks at the beautiful Palm Spring, FL seaside.

2. The 16-year-old celebuspawn Brooklyn Beckham was spotted partying next to the stylish and beautiful stranger. His fake neck tatt made his festival look and then caused so much fuss all over the world. Take a notice of this trick and try wearing the temporary ink to know what it feels like.

As the warm summer days begin to ebb, our vibes, apparel and color palette change. With winter ever so near a slight chill begins to fill the November air, and that means it’s time to think about renewing your nails with some classy autumn/winter shades. Here’s what’s up for 2015 for your nails!

Opt for darker and deeper hues, royal and noble colors like blue, gold, black, Bordeaux, loud and proud glitter, wine shades, plum color, or muted creamy greys, khakis, nudes and browns. The manicure is, for the majority of fashionistas, a sort of jewellery rather than just a “coloring-of-the-nails”. It is an easy and affordable way how to heat up your winter outfit. So look no further than a bottle of trendy nail polish.

Natural nail length and shape

The shape and length of your nails can provide your hands with a chic appearance. Trends in nail length and color change systematically, and this season at the peak of popularity is almond-shaped and oval free edges for the nail. Also for the coming winter season is the always acceptable “natural shape”. This look tends to feature shorter length nails but will rate very high this season. These are the main two trends coming this 2015 winter season

Metal shades

As for polishes, golden shades will always be the sure sign of luxury, so add some metallics to your must-have list of polishes for the season. Whatever shade of metallic you opt for, your nails will look sophisticated. Metallic nails—from silver to bronze and gold will never look better than with fall outfits. In fact, you can think of them as stand-in for bling bling!

Moon- type nails

This is one of the mega trends for the season. There’s a wide range of options which you can choose for experiments. The moon nail look is like an inverse French manicure but with the moon next to your cuticle instead at the tip of the nail. It’s for you to decide which one you like the most: you can begin with something traditional and classic or bold, taken with shades like silver and black or white and nude or burgundy and gold. There are also some innovative solutions like forming an arrow space instead of half-circular shapes. You will be in vogue using the colors I’ve mentioned above, but frankly color combinations are limited only by your imagination.

Stripes

Stripes of different sizes and lengths are a super-easy way to create your nail design. Vertical direction and incredible shade combos is all you have to think about. You are free to choose any contrast shades that suits your mood.

Glittery and Shimmery Nails

Do you still think that glittery and shimmery is not for everyday looks? Please, there’s plenty of cool combinations which will make you look chic not only in everyday life but also in case of some occasions or special events. Glitters look especially nice on a dark base color such as navy, lilac, plum, burgundy or black.

Lace manicure

Girls always remain girls, which means they love lace. And you definitely have to rock lace nails this season. Even if you don’t have special drawing skills for doing your nails on your own, some lace templates will help you to perform really neat manicures in no time.

Nude nails

If you are more conservative in nature and admire natural nail polishes, congrats, nude nails are voguish for the coming season. This nude trend managed to gain unexpected popularity. When I say nude, you want to imagine tones like beige, milky white, peach, cream, etc. Whether it has the matte shades or some glittery textures depends on the one you actually choose.

French manicure

There’s no season when the traditional French manicure should be left behind. The reason it’s billed as a “classic look” for nails has to do with it’s rich, “finished” appearance! But the “French mani” is no longer about a pale-toned base and white tips, no! Now it comes in breathtaking, full color. Various combos beginning with black and white to dark gray or a maroon are acceptable. Your daring experiments are certainly encouraged.

Remember that you can go completely against these trends and wear the opposite. That actually might be the in-thing, as well. But no matter what color your nails, you should keep them nourished and healthy.
