The Biggest Spring and Summer Fashion Trends – Part 2
Ah, spring and summer—the seasons of sunshine, rosé, and the eternal struggle of looking effortlessly chic while sweating profusely. Lucky for us, fashion’s latest trends are here to either elevate our wardrobes or make us question every life choice. This year, the style gods have spoken, and the holy trinity of Sheer, The Color White, and Fringe reigns supreme.

The Biggest Spring and Summer Fashion Trends – Part 1
It’s that time of the year when I look at the trends in fashion for the Spring and Summer and see what’s what. This year is all about the pastels and I had to break the blog post into two parts because the pastels were so much! All the colors in an easter egg basket from butter yellow to baby pink, baby blue, mint green and pale peach were represented at all of the runways. I found it hard to find a designer who did not buy into this trend. But it’s not your Grandma’s or a child’s pastels; it’s surprisingly modern and chic.

Go Green or Go Home: Why St. Patrick’s Day Is the Perfect Excuse to Embrace Green in Fashion & Interiors
Ah, St. Patrick’s Day—the one day a year when it’s socially acceptable to drink green beer, pinch strangers, and dress like a walking shamrock. But beyond the parades, pub crawls, and questionable leprechaun costumes, St. Patrick’s Day is actually a fantastic excuse to rethink the color green in both fashion and interior design. Because let’s be honest—green is so much more than just a holiday gimmick or the shade of regret after one too many pints of Guinness.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
