Styles That Will Get Your Through Changing Seasons

The seasons are changing and so are the styles. Here are 3 must haves to get you from winter to spring!

A Leather Jacket- Perfect for cool days and nights. A leather jacket is a great thing for every girl to have and perfect for when the seasons are changing.

Tights- Tights are a perfect way to get some of those great spring styles from your closet to the streets. Tights are great because they come in a variety of styles and colours. Tights can be paired with skirts and dresses; keeping you warm during the transition from cold weather to beautiful sunshine

Flats- The snow is gone;bring on the flats. Flats are a perfect way to get your feet out of those boots and in to spring fashion. Flats can be worn with pretty much every out fit and can be dressed up or down.

Extend Those Legs

This season heels are hotter then ever, so get ready to stand tall.

Heels have so many advantages. They help create an even more feminine shape to our body. They add length to our legs and also help us stand up straight and tall. Add heels to an outfit to take it from casual to evening. Whether you are 5 feet tall or 6 feet tall, heels dress up an outfit and make it all come together.

Remember you don't have to go out and get 6 inch heels; add any height this spring with wedges, stilettos, boots, strapy sandals or a chunky heel. Try Parade by Naughty Monkey at www.luxaholic.ca

A Little 80's Inspiration

Bleached out denim and chunky jewelery been paving the way for funky spring style. The hottest looks this spring have 80's inspiration and we are loving it.

Statement accessories are always a good addition to help switch up your look. Chunky plastic bracelets worn stacked or an over the top cocktail ring can spice up your look and add a little drama to your outfit.

Try the bleached out denim or an acid wash look this spring. Be funky and bold and have fun with fashion. The new trends that are popping up everywhere for spring are really about standing out, looking good and letting that inner rebel out. The worn 'n' torn denim is perfect for spring and adds a sassy look to the typical jeans and a tee.

Its Time for Dresses

Balloon bottom dresses are one of the hottest cuts we are seeing this season.

So much for short shorts, and mini skirts. Although showing a little bit of skin is in this season, classic A line skirts and ballooned bottom dresses have reached a must have status.

The ballooned bottom dresses emphasize the beautiful shape of the female body. Embrace your curves this season with a A line skirt or ballooned bottom dress. This style accentuates the upper body and can even disguise troubled legs, bums and hips.

If you want this must have style try Bloom Dress or Sweet Heart Dress at http://www.luxaholic.ca/.

The Boot Meets The Sandal

The gladiator boot has started to pop up everywhere for spring. This versatile and exciting new style is something every girl can look forward to.

With its chic look, open toe concept and boot-like style this amazing new trend looks great with jeans, dresses, skirts and shorts. These boots are comfortable and are a play on all the latest spring shoe trends. Gladiator style crossed with the ankle boot trend gives us the gladiator boot.

Bold Prints for Spring!

Bold prints are back and hotter then ever. Be brave this spring and embrace these bold prints! Whether you are wearing a floral print or a exotic animal print, simple accessories are key.
Don't overdo the look by over accessorizing..

Florals are one of the hottest prints this spring. When choosing accessories, match colours
with a colour right out of the print; this will create a fun and sexy vibe without over doing this
hot new trend.

If you choose to go with an exotic print, be very careful with the colours you pair it with and
how many colours you pair it with. Animal print can wind up looking trashy if not worn with simple accessories. If you want to add colour, the best place to do so is by wearing a vibrant heel.
Wear one bold print at a time, and stick to one animal print at a time. Pairing printed fabric usually doesn't work. Keep it simple and classy!

Check out this new trend and other spring styles at http://www.luxaholic.ca/. Loving florals this spring? Try Jonica Dress by Bb Dakota.

One piece jumpers and overalls are making a comeback!

One piece jumpers (rompers) and overalls make a strong comeback this spring. With fashion weeks going on around the world we see what styles are here to stay and what styles are slowing working their way to must have status this season.

Unfortunately, no matter how bad the style was the first time, overalls are back. We are not too keen seeing the overalls come back into style, but it is still early so their comeback might not make it to the wardrobes of fashionista everywhere (hopefully).

As for the one piece jumpers also referred to as rompers; this style is sexy, comfortable, simple and perfect for the season. Rompers are perfect beach attire and make for a cute summer outfit; they are so versatile that they can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for day out shopping!

How To: Reinvent Your Style

Are you looking to switch up you look?

There comes a point in every girl’s life where the need for a style change is due. Maybe you want to start dressing in a way that reflects your personal style, maybe you’re bored with your current style or maybe you are simply growing up and need to change up your look.

Reinventing your style can be a great way to not only get out of your comfort zone, but also gain confidence. It can be a lot of fun too. A simple style transformation is a good way to give you a new outlook on your clothing and yourself.

I believe the best time to go for the reinvention is summer. Why? Summer is usually the only time of year we have spare time on our hands. Summer time is long enough to give you room to plan your new look, and its short enough that you are forced to take action.

3 Tips:

Have a goal. Think about what you want to change and make a goal to change it. Whether is starting to accessorize or accepting the fact your no longer a 0; write it down and start the transformation.

Don’t be afraid. Just because you have always dressed the same way does not mean you have to stick with that look. Don’t be scared to go for something completely different. Change is a good thing!

Take your time. You don’t have to run out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Make small changes like adding colour, or experimenting with heels. If you take it slow, you will build the confidence needed to rock your new look.

5 Styles That Are Good For Every Season

Some styles come and go, but these styles will be around for a long time. Expand your horizons and get these timeless styles that work in every season.

A Blazer- You can never go wrong with a blazer. Whether your dressing it up for a night out, pairing it with dress pants for work or throwing it on with jeans a blazer is a versatile piece every women should have.

4 Hair Styles To Try This Spring

Don’t get tired of your hair! This spring be adventurous with your style; don’t be afraid to step outside your usual look. Try new things, look hot and feel hot. To step outside your usual style try these four hair styles this spring to switch up your look.

5 Tricks to looking thinner

• Nude/Tan/Beige heels- legs look longer and by wearing neutral heels you are able to keep the eye going all the way to the ground giving you the look of being thinner and taller.
• Waist-Cinching Belts- By accentuating the smallest part of you with a perfectly placed belt you not only add length to your body but you create the look of having an hour glass figure.
• V-Neck Tops and dresses- The objective is to look long and lean; a v-neck can create length and open up one of the most flattering parts on the female body.
• Pointed Toe Stilettos- The pointed toe adds length to our legs and has a look that sculpts ankles and calves.
• Pencil Skirt- A pencil skirt is timeless and will never go out of style. If your top heavy it will add curves, if your pair shaped it will smooth the look from hip to waist—this piece is the perfect body complimenting staple for every women.
