Look cool in the cold weather with these winter style tips:

Tuxedo Jacket

A lot of women are a bit uncomfortable to wear a dress during the cold nights of winter, but this should not hinder you from donning a hot getup. Jessica Alba is naturally hot but has also proven that a simple white, slim cut jacket can really be seductive.

Fur Collar

If fur is your thing (I am okay with it as long as its faux), you can don a fur collar or scarf over your jacket or coat, and you can instantly make the overall look very stylish just like what pop icon Rihanna did with her shirt, jeans, and jacket ensemble.

Statement Coat

It will not matter what you are wearing under a great looking coat. Invest in one and you can never go wrong. Just look for a coat embellished with some gems or something with a cool pattern. This is how Olivia Wilde achieved an elegant look during an event.

Mixing Colors

Leighton Meester of Gossip Girls wore on the set a printed coat in orange and mixed it with a blue cap. You can combine different hues that may clash but produce a quirky cute look.

Hot Red

If you want to add a good color to your current wardrobe this season, go for red. Eve on the picture above has it in red crimson.

Textured Black

If you want to go black on black on black, take the hint from Diane Kruger wearing the non-color pieces from top to bottom. Just make sure you have the proper textures to mix and matchlike some in feather, fur, or braiding. This will help avoid the flat look.

This month is all about natural beauty, so here are the products that help bring out your inner glow.

Fragrance: Emilio Pucci Verde 072 Eau de Toilette

This month, get lost in the earthly scents of bergamot and mint mixed with green accords. This sensual perfume will excite your senses with hints of cedar, Tonka bean, Turkish rose, neroli, and musk.

Lip Color: Laura Mercier Gel Lip Colour

For luscious, natural-looking lip shades this month, go for Laura Mercier Gel Lip Colour. Opt for Hibiscus Bloom and Dollface for that beautiful sheer shade that will last all day long.

Lush Lashes: Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Serum

For extra lush lashes, give your favorite mascara a helping hand with a biotin-rich serum to help those lashes pop. Apply Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Serum just under your mascara. Better yet, use it the night before to give your lashes extra TLC.

Pucker up: Sephora Collection Glossy Gloss

Every girl needs a lip gloss! And this month, go for the sheer, sweet finish of Sephora Collection Glossy Gloss for that noteworthy wet effect look.

Bronzed Beauty: Napoleon Perdis Bronze Patrol

This is the time to give your look at dash of gold beauty. Look for Napoleon Perdis Bronze Patrol and go for the sun-kissed bronze goodness. Apply in target areas.

Nail Color: Nail Laque Terrybly

For eye catching nail color, try the classic Trafalgar Red color from Nail Laque Terrybly. If you’re not a fan of red nails, go for a funky pink tint.

Golden Girl: Omorovicza Gold Shimmer Oil

If you want to retain that fresh, just-out-of-the-shower sheen, look for Omorovicza Gold Shimmer Oil and treat your face and body to that collagen-packed carrot oil goodness that will make you feel like the real golden girl.

Scent Escape: Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Eau de Parfum

If you’re dreaming of an escape to the Italian Riviera, bask in the sweet scent of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Eau de Parfum. The combination of orange flower, lavender, Sicilian lemon is reminiscent of the waters of the great Italian Riviera escape.

ANYTHING MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL HAS EVER PUT ON. Ever.

What about you guys?

Fanny packs are bad.  Fanny packs are very, very, very bad.

Do not wear fanny packs.

Actually, do not wear belly shirts and leggings either.

NO.

Now that we have talked a little bit about one of the dress trends that I love, let’s move onto another trend that is going to be huge this spring and summer and to be honest – it’s awesome.  Sparkle and shine, which is what this spring and summer is all about!

This trend has been around quite a long time and I can tell you for sure that it is absolutely beautiful however you do not want to overdo it on the sparkle.  You want to keep it all chic and do not become a showy girl, because that is just not flattering.

The cool thing about sparkles is that you can use a lot of them or just have some of them, it depends on your mood!

When it comes to fashion, it is something that is constantly switching and changing up and it can be very, very difficult to actually keep up with a lot of the trends that are out there, but that is what I am here for, to ensure that you are up to date on a lot of the fashion trends that are out there!

For example, did you know that knotting and draping in the way of shirts and dresses is actually one of the hottest fashion trends out there?  It is not about being complicated, in fact, it is about being simple and I have to say that these dresses are incredible looking!

You want style and fashion?  Make sure that you incorporate some Ancient Greek into some of your clothing choices!

When it comes to makeup, there are a ton of different trends that you can follow and many different colors and styles that you can use, especially when spring rolls around.  Well, I am here to give you some tips and tricks that are going to work beautifully for not only the springtime but also for the summer!

One trend that is huge this spring is long, long lashes.  For one, long lashes are something that is absolutely craved and something that everyone wants, especially right now.  Whether you are getting fake lashes or you are coating up the lashes you have, long lashes are in!

Next, we will talk about the lips and what colors are in for your lips.  Seriously, you gotta stay tuned!

Now that we have touched base on your lashes, let’s go ahead and move onto your lips.  Typically, spring makeup is all about the pinks and the purples, but this time, it is all about the beautiful redness of your lips.  That is our next trend, red lips.  Red lips are going to be huge, huge, huge in the spring.

Brick, crimson, blush – really any red that you want, you can truly get yourself some beautiful red hues for your lips.  You also want to make sure that they are shiny lips, as that is another trend that ties right into the red lip trend.

Spring is all about color and when you are dealing with makeup, you truly want to pop this spring!

Now that we have talked about cupcakes – let’s talk about Valentine’s Day number one selling candy … chocolates.  Long ago, chocolates were just a heart-shaped box that you gave to your lover as a gift.  Nowadays, chocolates are actually fashion trends and it is not as simple as just going out to the supermarket to get.

Now, you need to make sure that if you are looking to specialized and fashionable chocolates, you need to order early and online is going to be the best option for you.  There are chocolates of every single color – style and sometimes, you can even make them personalized.

Personally, I am still a Godiva fan – and always will be but if you want something different and unique, online is the best places to find  them!
