Denim - Spring/Summer 2015 Fashion Trend

I would have to say I am a denim lover even though I only wear jeans but still, after researching into this trend which I saw on the runways for S/S 2015 I am definitely in love with all the tailored pieces, lots ripped and patched jeans. There was everything from dress to shirts and jeans, designers have totally re-designed denim in a whole new experience. One trend I am so excited to see for this year is the 70's flared vibe that coming back, and yes you know where this is going... flared jeans! To be frank I am in love with them, however I feel that I wont be able to pull them off with my little legs! But if you are a long legged friend get ready to get some high waisted flared jeans with wooden blocked heels and silk blouses. In 2014 it was all about the casual boyfriend Jean that every brand designed, some ripped, some people ripped but this year I feel that the flare could be the new boyfriend!

Theres lots of darker denim for the s/s which shocked me, as lighter and white denim are mainly seen throughout this time of year! High-waisted dark denim flares are a staple and could be a new smart daytime update on pencil skirts. My favourite denim skirts seen for this ear is the A-line button down ones, they are now seen every where on the high street from Newlook to ASOS. Alexa Chung was inspire by these skirts and made her own AG Denim collection which is flawless! You could pair these skirts with a high neck polo t-shirt to add to the 70's vibe much like the flares! Here's some of my favourites that you can get from high-street and designer, they vary from mini to knee length so there's a wide section to chose from!

The next denim trend is one that I love and that is dungarees and I actually own a pair myself! Dungarees are so much fun and easy to move about in so whats not to love! They may make you look and feel like a child as well as a factory worker but if you style it right you can get them on point! To work with the 70's style you could pair with a blouse and chunky wooden heels or wedges. I like to pair mine with a simple crop top or a bardot style of the shoulder crop top. But if were to wear them with converse's you could totally set off the 90's grunge look.

These are a few of my favourite trends to do with denim, but there is an endless list like denim dresses, suits, kick flares and girlfriend jeans. So as I've shared the trends these are a few designers that I have been loving on the Spring/Summer runways and have embraced the denim too!

So what are your guys thoughts an opinions on this trend? and is there any other trends you are loving for this year? I hope you enjoyed this post as well as found it helpful! If you have any post requests let me know below as well!

Michael Kors Spring 2015 Ready-To-Wear Collection

Michael, Michael, Michael Kors oh where do I start! This man is my most favourite fashion designers of all time, everything he designs is beyond beautiful and if I was rich enough I would buy every piece! And it will happen one day! So I thought I'd share the love with you, by showing you his Spring/Summer 2015 collection, which in every aspect blew me away. Those sun glasses in the picture below oohh I want me some of them and that girl in the back in black below kinda looks like Keira Knightley... or is that just me??

To start with Michael had a lot of inspiration behind his designs which helped with the shape, colour, texture and form of the garments and accessories he designed. Mainly he was inspired from the post war spring time in the 50's and you can clearly see the classic 50's silhouettes especially in the skirts. He wanted to convey the optimism which came about after the War, and I really think he has with the colours and prints which make his collection very vivid and sunny, which defiantly puts a smile on my face! The patterns are what I love most, they catch your eyes which the bold and vibrant colours and on patterns which have more than one colour he chose to contrast so each colour can be seen and have their own chance to shine!

“THE COLOR PALETTE IS INSPIRED BY A GARDEN COMING TO LIFE—BLOOMING WISTERIA AND DREAMY DAFFODILS, LAWN GREEN AND PRETTY PEONY PINKS, AND WHO DOESN’T DREAM ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY?”

Going on from the inspiration of the 50s he also chose this because he feels that spring is all about re-birth and what better way to represent that than the 50's as it was a new light from the war and all about optimism!

So the show started with a handful of white garments which has lace, crochet detailing, they are very simple, clean and chic which I love!

The show continues bringing out navy's and yellows which obviously completion each other so well, with some garments having leather detailing as well! Floral prints as well as strips and chequered prints also graced Michael Kors' runway effortlessly as well. Although there was lots of bright colours on the prints, garments which didn't have any prints saw a more nude natural tone some even black and white mono chrome, however all the pieces flowed together.

My favroite outfit by far was worn by the amazing Victoria Secret model Candice and she totally worked this outfit! This would be somthing I would totally wear and the leather straps which wrap around the waist to a belt round the waist. 

Let me know what your favourite outfit is from his collection and any fashion trends you are loving for spring so far!

Spring/Summer 2015 Makeup Trends From The Runway

Runways not only show us the upcoming fashion trends but also makeup and hair trends too! I love looking at makeup on the runways as the designers always chose to do something out of the box, simple and classic or damn right crazy! So to go with the spring/summer you would expect the makeup to be fresh, light, bronzed with pastel colours... but hold up! The looks on the runways chose to give us some curve balls with bold smokey eyes, insane eyeliner, bold lips and much more!

Bold lips is the first trend that caught my eye most, most of the lips were very strong colours which varied from dark purples and berrys to bright oranges and pinks. Red lips were seen tonnes on the Burberry Prorsum show, Dolce & Gabbana featured a dark purple, where as Zac Posen went with a bright orangey red colour which I love! For this trend the focus on the makeup is mainly on the lips rather than the rest of the makeup leaving the eyes plain and the face clean and simple, so your eyes get drawn straight to the lips. There was also lots of what they call diffusing of the lipsticks which they did round the edge of the lips to get a stained lip effect.  

This next one I'm not sure I like but hey it's for high fashion runway so I'll let it off and that is Expressive brows! So obviously brows are a big thing right now because girl you need that strong game, but these are far from strong. The brow trends are perfectly shaped and bushy as well as bleached brows that were both major trends on the runway and were seen on models for Betsey Johnson, BCBG, Givenchy and many many more. Some designers also chose to be more out there and use new innovative ways with rings and dashes of lines on and round the brows. Let me know below if you think their brow games are on point!?

Eyeliner is my thing so when I saw tonnes of Graphic Eyeliner I was super happy! The lines of the eyeliner go every which way possible which a classic cat eye too almost like arrows. Oscar de la Renta and Prada kept it simple with a even thickness of the eyeliner with a flick in the corner; whereas over on Cusnie et Ochs, Saint Laurent and Celine's runways they had bold black lines that some even covered the whole lid. The eyeliner wasn't just black though many designers like Fendi (which was my favorite!)  Peter Som and Doir all added a beam of bright colours. Some of the designers chose not even to use eyeliner at all, strips of leather, stickers and lipstick. Just shows that you don't have to use the ordinary products all the time, but I think that it adds a whole new level of creativity to an eye look!

So last but not least Is Black Smoke which again is another favorite of mine like they eyeliner, as it is very grungey which I am all about! So this is a trend I will be defiantly trying, time to bring out my inner Avril Lavigne aha! When I saw this trend it was the one that shocked me the most as you would expect spring and summer makeup to be light and flirty not dark and dramatic but I kinda like this change. Its a very slept-in effortless charcoal smokey eye look which was best demonstrated at Tom Ford. Chanels makeup was much the same and very dark which was a huge contrast to the tweed garments, where as Diane von Furstenberg was much more toned down and smokey.

There are tonnes more trends to the four I shared with you today like, Brown eyes, purple eyes, bronzed face, 60's lashes, barely there makeup and glitter just to name a few! If you would want me to go into more depth with some more let me know and I shall! I hope you enjoyed and see you in my next post,

Spring/Summer 2014 Beauty Trends - Raw Beauty

So today I am doing another post on beauty trends for this year! There are just so many! So today is Raw Beauty, every season we see many new variations of this natural beauty. The goal is to create natural-looking makeup look which conceals your flaws and defines your features, than to transform your face to make  yourself look different. This dose mean literally no mascara, which is like my life! So I may not take part in this trend ;) 

So having perfect skin is really the main part to this look so the perfect concealer is needed! these are some of the best that I have used and heard are amazing too. So if you need to find a new concealer here's a few I recommend!

Concealers by rougeinlove97 featuring NYX

The only make-up used at Alexander Wang and Balmain was a little concealer where it was needed, whilst at Christopher Kane, Guido Palau merely washed and dried hair before adding a little oil to tame any frizz. At Emilio Pucci and Giambattista Valli, eyes were given a wash of pale colour to hollow and enhance shape, whilst Lucia Pieroni complemented messy plaits with illuminated skin for a "Nineties supermodel glow" at Giles. - from Vouge!

So do you guys like this look or is it too plain?? Would you consider trying the raw beauty look or not, like me ;) Let me know below! I hope you have an awesome amazing day...

Spring/Summer 2014 Beauty Trends - Rebellious Liner

 Spring/summer 2014 is going to bring in lots of different hair, makeup and beauty trends. This first on is one of my favourites because you can go wrong with a bit of eye liner! All you need is a dark eye liner and some attitude to wear this rebelish look. Its not the normal flicks, cat eye or winged eye liner, streak along the lower lash line  and top to create an almond shape. Then just smudge to prefect it! To create the look I would recommend to us a kohl eye liner as they are easiest to smudge and mould to what shape you want. You should get one that's smooth and soft otherwise the smudge wont  look effortless.

So here's a few eye liner I would recommend...

Kolh Eyeliners by rougeinlove97 featuring a kohl eyeliner

I think that these eyes look best paired with natural-looking skin, so no blush or bronzer and mascara-free lashes, this will help create a bad girl take on your natural beauty. This trend was seen a lot on runways for spring/summer 2014, inculding Carven, Missoni, Stella McCartney and lots more!

I hope you liked this quick little post and tell me below what you think of this beauty trend, and would you wear it?? Until next time have an awesome amazing day...
