Forget the mini, there's a new length in town! It's all about the mid-length skirt, and although I'm no Alexa Chung, this summer trend fits the bill for many body types. You just need to stick with some conventional style rules that will ensure a flawless outfit. If you're drawn to a minimalist fashion style opt for a vibrant flowy skirt and pair back to a basic blouse. The "midi" skirt is a classic item and it's safe to assume that this will become a must have for the season.

{the short story}

It's not officially summer without a slew of short options to chose from, and although the cut-off denim shorts are the unofficial summer uniform, I have a different kind of short in mind this season. These J. Crew silk printed shorts exude a flirty finesse that are clean-cut for an evening tailored look or a youthful sporty flair for your day ensemble. Sexy, stylish and highly comfortable. What's your short story this season???

heat wave

Spring has finally sprung and that only means one thing...looking forward to fresh spring lip trends to carry us through the season! I've recently been obsessed with "heat wave" by Nars. I looked high and low for an orange-coral shade and when I finally fell upon it at Sephora they were sold out! That's when I knew I had to have it. When I finally got my hands on it I realized...dare I say it? It's the perfect orange lipstick!!! The key is to keep the rest of your makeup natural and finish it off with a lip liner underneath  your lipstick, which is a great primer and gives and ultra sophisticated look. It will help the color stay  on longer and it glides on smoothly for a precise line. Beware, heat wave is a matte finish so hydrate that pout before you apply or for a glossy look finish with a clear lip gloss to give it high-shine. So change your plain looking pout this season to something vibrant and refreshing.
