Backstage Nails: essie at DVF S/S16

Diane von Furstenberg Spring/Summer 2016

Runway inspiration:
To offset the colorful, vintage vibe of Diane von Furstenberg’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection, Michelle Saunders for Essie chose a sleek, classic nail look by layering good to go top coat over au natural.

I love rocking a natural look it's always easy, chic and of course goes well with any shade. With the bold eyes on the runway, the nails gave a fresh appeal.

Fashion: Spring Fever Trends

Even though we're well into Winter, the spring trends are in the air and making it's way to your favorite shopping spots. The four trends that are easy to add in your wardrobe or consider splurging on are Flare Dresses, Printed Tops, Open Toe Booties and Comfy Pants. Below are a few styles that can get you on the right track.

 

Flare Dresses

 

Flare dresses have a strong impact to be flirty, chic and youthful. You can find a wide selection of colors, designs or go a neutral solid that can be paired with anything. The important factor to keep in mind is to find the right fit for your body type and the best are styles with constant movement. The boxy look can take away from a admirable frame and as a woman you want to enhance all your goods. Diane von Furstenberg Theory Zac Posen

 

Printed Tops

Printed tops/blouses are a fun way to dress up a look without putting much effort. For the spring the ultimate fashion step is pairing it with other fun trends like sequins, a dress or even layered. It creates more creativity in your style and gives you more options in be fashionable. My favorite patterns would be floral, a bold color and animals prints. These are also work friendly so you can glam it up 7 days a week. Tinley Road Vince Camuto ASTR

Open Toe Booties

The open toe booties trend is working the style radar now and yes it winter but it's a do. The style game is beyond fierce that you can't just purchase something ordinary you must go a bit deeper. Leather will never go out of style so look for something that  can work a slender dress, leather pants or skinny jeans. If you love to add magic to your style than colors and animals prints are easy for you to adapt, remember working colors head to toe can be too safe. If want to be classic and edgy black and white combos are always in and demand much attention. Ivanka Trump Rachel Roy Jerome C. Rousseau

 

 

Comfy Pants

 



Forget wearing the jogging pants, the leggings and the sweats on those lazy days. You can add a simple top and rock a comfy pant with a rock star touch. Dress it up with arm candy if you need to get use to the style. Be on the hunt for feminine prints so you can wear a pump, stiletto or strappy heel. Dolce Vita Clover Canyon Joie
