Don’t Forget the Accessories

The newest accessory trend is a clear bag to hold all your essentials.

Neutrals and pastels are always great go-to’s for spring, but there are a handful of trending, bold colors that are popping up in the fashion world this season and now is the perfect time to freshen up your wardrobe with these vibrant hues! In the past there have been certain “rules” to mind when it comes to incorporating bold colors into our wardrobes, but spring 2019 has proven those guidelines to be a thing of the past! From vibrant, jungle-esque greens to oranges and yellows that look straight out of the produce section, spring 2019 is all about adding a bold and playful element to your style! I’ve rounded up some of our favorite, must-try hues that will instantly freshen up your spring looks!

Hot Pink

It may be one of the 80’s most nostalgic hues, but one thing is for certain, hot pink is certainly one of 2019’s hottest colors!

Lime Green

One of the more refreshing tones of spring 19 is this soft yet bold, lime green hue! It’s one of those colors that will make any outfit pop, plus it is a breeze to wear with crisp white and classic black this season!

Purple

Purple and it’s not so distant cousin, lavender, are right at the top of spring’s must-have color list! It’s an excellent hue for making any fit a bit more eye-catching this season!

Not-so-Mellow Yellow

Yellow has been on trend for quite some time (i.e. mustard was on the rage last fall/winter), but it is still a winning hue this spring and it is the perfect color for instantly cheering up your mood and outfit!

Vibrant Orange

As someone who is a definite yellow fan, I can easily get on board with adding this hue to my spring line-up! Plus there are so many shades of this awesome color making it easy for anyone to try!

Vibrant, bold colors may be a trend this season but let’s not forget about the gorgeous muted pastel colors that spring is typically known for. A spring staple, much in the vein of florals, pastels may not be a groundbreaking trend for the season but the soft, muted colors continue to stand the test of the trend cycle year after year. Take a look at some of the easiest ways to incorporate pastel colors into your spring wardrobe.

Printed Dress

A printed pastel spring dress is a refreshing way to update your seasonal wardrobe.

Pair With Neutrals

Pair your pastels with neutrals to downplay the sweetness of the soft colors.

Add Edgy Trends

Pair your pastel pieces with edgier trends, like the sheer trend or even leather, to create contrast.

Mix Printed Pieces

Find pieces in pastels in unexpected prints and go a step further by mixing printed pieces in the same color family.

Try a Pastel Suit

Combine two trends into one and pair pastel suit separates together.

Mint and Lilac

Mint and lilac are the breakout pastel colors this season. Pair them together with simple pieces, completing your outfit with effortless accessories.

Add Accessories

Eager to incorporate pastels but have a tendency to gravitate towards neutrals and dark colors? Add pastels to your accessories or even your hair color for a playful pop of spring color.

How fun is this leather fringe crossbody bag?! Rae’s outfit is right in line with the western trend this season!

Gone are the days when women had two swimsuit options for the beach: a bikini that left you feeling too exposed or a standard one-piece swimsuit that felt too covered up. Let’s be real – we’re all glad that one-piece swimsuits have stepped up their game over the past few years and have come out with such fun details and styles. Now, you can feel and look your best in a suit without feeling like you’re baring it all. Still not convinced that one-piece styles can’t be fashion forward? Scroll on for some swimsuit inspiration!

Here are 6 one-piece swimsuits that we can’t take our eyes off of:

Low-Back Details

Plunge head first and pick up a one-piece with some flirty details like a low-back.

Try Cutouts

Take a walk on the wild side and pick up a dramatic one-piece with cutout designs on the sides like Christine from Hello Fashion Blog!

Crisscross Details

We’d take any excuse to wear this one-piece with crisscross details in the front! Look for swimsuits with the underwire bra detail for extra support.

Dual Pattern Swimsuit

There’s no better way to make a statement than by wearing a swimsuit with dual patterns on it.

Halter Designs

I have to admit, cut-out one-pieces can be hard to pull off sometimes. However, when you find a halter piece like this one, you can’t say no!

Wear Solid Colors

If you’re searching for a swimsuit it that you can wear over and over, stick to pieces that come in solid colors! The best part? They can easily double as a bodysuit!
