Fashion Friday: Madewell’s spring collection

The denim! The crisp whites! The prints! As if we weren’t already ecstatic for spring’s long-overdue arrival, Madewell has managed to capture the season perfectly with these easy, breezy styles.

“This collection was a resounding nod to the optimism that comes with spring,” Madewell’s Head of Design, Somsack Sikhounmuong, told Fashionista. “The pulling out of all the things you love and packed away — your favorite jeans , a classic tee, a trench — we looked to all those things, tweaked and updated them to feel fresh and new.”

I can smell that fresh air already and those spring flowers, can’t you, friends? Check out more of their awesome spring style, and share your favorite looks in the comments! xoxo

P.S. Friday link love is coming up! 🙂

Fashion Friday: Essie winter collection

You know it’s officially the holiday season when Essie releases its winter collection. And as usual, the Winter 2014 Collection doesn’t disappoint. That red and gold is especially perfect for festive days and nights, don’t you think, friends? xoxo

P.S. The Friday links are coming up shortly! 🙂

Fashion Do or Don’t: Denim shorts

Are you thinking fall fashion yet? Too early? One thing that we can be sure we’ll be seeing a lot of in the coming months is denim. The tried-and-true fashion statement has become a fall staple, but what’s the consensus on denim shorts? Too revealing? Too ’80s? Too Daisy Duke-esque?

As it turns out, though, denim is fading in popularity! Eeeek! With Labor Day coming up this weekend, it might be the perfect excuse to support the economy and say goodbye to the summer in style! All you need now is a crisp white shirt! What do you say, friends? xoxo

Fashion Friday: Glow-in-the-dark nails

First, there were glow-in-the-dark tees, and now, how about these glow-in-the-dark nails? The bold pink, purple, blue and green hues of U.K. beauty brand Illamasqua‘s limited edition UV Glow Nail Varnish could very well be the wave of the future. The polish looks normal by itself, but put it under a black light, and BAM!! It’s like you’ve got your own walking nightlight.

How fun would that be, friends? Would you get your glow on? xoxo

P.S. More nail fun: Holiday nails, pastel nails, royal wedding nails, emerald nails, creamsicle nails and starry nails.

P.P.S. Friday links are coming your way this afternoon! 🙂
