Bra Tops and Bandeaus

This spring and summer bras and bandeaus are becoming tops!

With Coachella and Stagecoach coming up real fast,

girls are leaving their t-shirts at home and running around in their bras.

Here is a little preview of how you can wear your bras and bandeaus as a top without looking like you're completely nakie.

Urban Outfitters. With high waisted shorts and a belt!!!

If you wear your bra top with high waisted shorts then your whole tummy isn't exposed and it doesn't look like you woke up and couldn't find you shirt!!

Urban Outfitters. With printed shorts.

A solid top looks great with printed shorts, vice versa.

Lacy bra top with printed high waisted skirt and an open jean jacket or shirt.

With a long skirt.

Since your skirt is big, your top can be small. (:

With a tight high waisted skirt

Hello to Yellow

The transition from spring to summer is all about diving into color...but not just any color. Whats trending this summer are bright, vibrant colors. Especially YELLOW! I want to show you some different ways to incorporate yellow into your wardrobe without looking like a banana or a mustard bottle. In particular, my favorite hues are mustard and golden yellow.

Let's take a look:

This beautiful woman is vibrantly shining in a lemonchello crew neck cardigan.

Here we have a gorgeous canary yellow blazer. Don't you just love this look!?

Hello mellow yellow. This subtle button-up creates the perfect outfit for summer.

All these looks are incredible and hopefully you guys can explore different ways to include yellow into your summer wardrobe. But don't fear. Yellow doesn't only have to be worn on the top. Lets check out these looks:

This hot yellow pants shout "summer sunshine". Everyone should have a pair!

As for this flirty, sweet skirt, this woman is ready to celebrate a beautiful day.

How amazing are those yellow Paladium sneakers?! I'm definitely going to buy a pair.

Now, you're probably thinking; "yellow washes me out" or "yellow makes me look dull". Don't worry readers! I've got the perfect solution for you. If you usually steer away from buying a yellow dress or a yellow top, try wearing yellow shoes or a chunky yellow necklace. There are so many ways you can include yellow into your daily outfits without feeling ugly or self-conscious. It's always helpful to start out small and work your way to the top.

So, if you are one of those people who aren't huge fans of yellow, take baby steps.

First, buy some yellow bangles and pair them with a cute, white summer dress.

After you have conquered this look, Buy a pair of bright or subdued yellow pants from Madewell or Forever 21. Pair these with a denim tank or a white, sheer button-up to transform your look into a classy, happy-go-lucky style.

And for all you dudes out there: YOU can rock yellow too!! Girls, make sure you tell your boyfriends and guy friends to rock yellow this summer!

He is looking so fresh in his peeping, yellow socks. Rock on man!

I know this sexy sailor is looking fab in these fresh yellow shorts.

Now that you have some more ideas about what to wear when you transition into summer, be sure to include yellow into your sassy style! Ta-ta for now :)

Peach Tea with Mint

Peach Tea with Mint
Okay maybe not a good flavor for tea, but let's talk about the combination of these colors! Just heavenly tasting!

Two very summer colors have been coming into fashion. Lately colored denim has been a huge trend, and now as we are in spring the pastel colors have been coming more into fashion. Two major colors have been Peach and Mint. These colors are great separately but we have seen them being incorporated together to make your spring wardrobe really pop! These colors are great with gold accessories and white accents. Below are some ways to wear these colors.

Peach Skirts with the white top accents

Or try a fitted Mint skirt with white blouse

Now try both the colors together with a mint dress and Peach blazer

Peach Denim with Mint accents

Pair a bright Mint Green pant with Peach top to stand out
