Ladies, it is time to step up your accessory game with your lovely fingers. Midi rings and fingernail rings are summer’s most daring jewelry trends.

Midi Rings

Midi rings are worn within the mid-section of your fingers. You can rock one thin ring in or stack a bunch of thin rings together to create an accordion ring. Just like you pile on bracelets to your wrists, the midi rings is great way to mix and stack rings on your fingers.

When shopping for midi rings, you have to make sure it is small enough to fit on your midis and it will stay conveniently above your knuckles. These tiny, cool rings are like nail art you can wear every day in streamlined gold and silver.

Fingernail Rings

If you really want to go extreme with your accessories, then you need to try fingernail rings. Jewelry designers continue to push boundaries by traveling farther down your finger with little rings that sit on top of your nails. Sometimes we wear fashionable things that aren’t always functional for everyday life. These rings may not be ideal for typing, however they do look fashion-forward and chic.

Accessory company Gwaan is the mastermind behind this courageous ring trend. Currently, Gwaan offers rings that allow your mani to peek out from behind their metal fingernail rings. Of course, these rings may sit a little too low on the finger making them uncomfortable or easy to lose. Real fashionistas know sometimes you have to suffer some pain in the name of fashion.

Will you be dressing up your fingers with fingernail rings and midi rings?

Here are a few do’s and don’ts to help all of us look our best all season long…

FASHION DO’S

1. DO experiment with shorter lengths. Cut down the amount of fabric you are wearing to stay cool and comfortable. There are literally hundreds of different styles of shorts, skirts and dresses. If you are afraid of exposing your thighs to the world, then try a cropped legging.

2. DO try prints. Prints are everywhere. There are so many prints out there from oversize florals to bright tribal patterns to fun geometric shapes. You can get bold with a floral top, pant or a dress. You can get tribal with dress or handbag to add some texture and pattern to your closet.

3. DO buy a trendy swimsuit. The one-piece is a modest option, but it comes in various cuts and prints. Pick a swimsuit that makes you feel sexy and confident.

4. DO update your denim. Our beloved denim is getting a makeover for spring. This season, grab yourself a pair in blue, red, purple or any other color you like. You can easily style your colored denim with a printed top or a blazer.

5. DO dress for your body type. This is the most important “Do” for any season. Trends are fun and refreshing, but dressing in what looks best on you never goes out of style. Don’t wear hot pants if it doesn’t make you truly look and feel your best.

FASHION DON’TS

1.DON’T let it all hang out. Yes, “if you’ve got it, flaunt it,” but there is something much classier when a woman leaves a little something to the imagination. I know that it will be hot, but your cleavage doesn’t have to be out all the time and booty doesn’t have to show all the time either.

2. DON’T carry an over-sized bag. While we all love a purse that can carry our makeup bag, a spare outfit and shoes to match, they just make your body feel hotter than the sun. Simplify and try a smaller bag with a convertible strap that can go from a handbag to a shoulder bag instantly.

3.DON’T over do the trend thing. Wearing everything single trend at the same time doesn’t give you a chance to showcase your personal style. You want to try trends that match your signature style.

4. DON’T wear off-season shoes. Year after year, you may notice a few people wearing boots on a hot spring day. Does this really make sense when you have been stuck in boots for the whole winter season? One important thing you do when spring comes is to allow your feet to breathe in cute sandals, peep toe shoes, and lightweight sneakers. No one wants sweaty feet when it’s beautiful outside.

5. DON’T get stuck in a rut. Once we find something that suits us, it can be hard to break away from that. Remember to always try something new and experiment with fashion. You’ll never broaden your horizons if you don’t try new things.

Add a few simple products and steps to your nighttime regimen and you will wake up feeling beautiful. We have a few overnight treatments you can try to beautify while you sleep.

Moisture is Key
Always wash your face before going to bed. Use a washcloth to sweep away dry, dull skin. When you exfoliate with a wash cloth, your night cream will penetrate more for quicker results.

When purchasing a moisturizing cream, look for hyaluronic acid for a moisturizing treatment and glycolic acid for an exfoliating effect.  Using a moisturizer overnight can help your skin smooth out by the morning.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
Eye cream is a great way to avoid bags under your eyes. If you aren’t into creams, you can apply cucumber slices and an eye mask before you go to sleep.

Acne Go Away
Acne isn’t just a teenage problem, it can be an adult problem, too. Overnight masks can be used to remove blemishes and help with acne.

Use One Super-Powered Hydrator All Over
We all know that bedtime is a great time to treat dryness prone body parts like your hands, feet, and lips. Just apply some Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to all your dry areas and you will be smooth in the morning.  If Vaseline isn’t your thing, then try a moisturized lip balm.

Take protecting your lips to another level by using an exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin and flakes. For scaly feet, use a pumice stone in the shower a few times a week and apply body butter. Slip on some socks and you will have cute feet in the a.m.

Whiten Your Teeth in a Flash
Everyone wants white teeth. Ask your dentist about teeth whitening strips or whitening pastes before picking it up at a local drugstore. Eating more food like apples, celery, and pears can help you achieve white teeth.

Get Plenty of Sleep
Plenty of sleep always equals beautiful skin. Make sure you get around seven to nine hours of sleep. If you can’t get in your hours, try sleeping longer during the weekends or whenever you are off.

We all know that every woman needs a little black dress (LBD). But, do not forget about the LBD’s bright sibling: the little white dress. It’s a summer wardrobe essential that looks great on most skin tones and looks universally appealing on every body type.

On the Spring/Summer runways, the little white dress was a must-have piece in variety of lengths, styles and shades. Givenchy showcases the LWD with a peplum silhouette while Jason Wu and Marchesa used feathered embellishments to make their white dresses stand out. Versace decorated the little white dress with shiny studs.

The LWD is a garment that can easily work for the day and night. For a daytime casual look, a simple white dress paired with a blazer, flats and a colorful belt can work for the office or for an outdoor weekend event. You can even opt for a bohemian style with a crocheted maxi dress paired with a tribal printed handbag.

For a nighttime look, a form-fitting white dress paired with dangling earrings and a sparkling clutch can work for a fun night out with your friends. Try to go classic with a white sheath dress paired with a statement necklace.

Tips To Remember When Wearing a White Dress

1. Select a solid and opaque white dress
White fabric tends to be see-through. Therefore, you have to check the transparency. Place the dress up against the light or place your hand underneath the white fabric to see how transparent it is.

2. Select quality fabric.
Look for dresses that are lined such as ones made from linen or heavy cotton.

3. Wear underwear that is the same color as your skin.
Do not wear white underwear.

Things to Wear With Your Little White Dress

A solid white dress gives you plenty of room to play with stacked bracelets whether they are varying in size, color, or texture. To create a chic contrast, try pairing your LWD with a black or printed jacket. Accessories with a tan hue or metallic accents are perfect for white dress. To make a LWD more casual, wrap a patterned scarf around your neck. Belts in bold color schemes look great on a white canvas. Chandelier earrings and long body chains serve as a focal point when wearing a little white dress.

The LWD is summer’s hottest fashion trend because it is so versatile. Ladies, will you try it out this summer?

Remember the 90s when the members of TLC made overalls look stylish in bold, bright colors in their “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg” music video?  Rihanna decided to revive the trend for her Talk That Talk album art, and at Coachella this year, Erykah Badu performed songs in military-inspired overalls. I’m sure the last time you wore a pair of overalls was in elementary school or in the early 1990s.

This is one garment that isn’t known for having much sex appeal and can easily make you look like a cowgirl or gardener. But, overalls can be stylish if you know how to make this ensemble look modern.

Layer Under – You should wear something underneath your overalls to avoid looking farm-worker ready. Try layering with a breezy printed blouse or make it sexier with a bandeau top under those overall straps.

Fitted Silhouette – There are overalls with sleek and tapered silhouettes to showcase your curves.

More than Denim – When we think of overalls, we think denim. However, these strappy garments are available in leather, linen, vegan materials, cotton, or any other fabric you can think of.

Have Fun With Color – An overall can look like a jumpsuit in neons, pastels, or any other hue. Khaki and navy overalls tend to give off a toddler vibe and you do not want that.

Accessorize with Pumps – To make your overalls look more grown up, you should pair them with heels.

Overalls Can Be Dresses – The overall style isn’t just made with pants. You can always sport an overall dress in a mini or midi length.

Ladies, are you going to pick up a pair of overalls anytime soon?

It may sound crazy that backpacks showed up on high fashion runways from Alexander Wang to Kanye West. The fierce Rihanna has been spotted a few times with ultra-trendy backpacks.

These school bags are perfect for the beach, for outdoor concerts/festivals, and for hot days in the city. These bags come wrapped in luxurious prints, fabrics, and materials.

Here are a few guidelines to follow when searching for a stylish backpack:

Get the Right Size

You want to look for a backpack that is medium size similar to the bags seen on the Carven spring 2012 runway. If you get a mini backpack, you will end of looking like a teenage girl in the 1990s. If you get a huge backpack, you will look like you are on your way to hiking a mountain. Also, a bag backpack is a practical and grown up way to wear this trend.

Keep It One Shoulder

To avoid looking like a kid, we recommend you “one strap” it. Look for a backpack with a long strap so it can be propped on one shoulder.

Rock the Right Material

Do not wear a Spongebob backpack at 20-something years old. Look for backpacks with leather, canvas, and lightweight nylon material for a more formal vibe. Other details to try: studs, stripes, florals, tribal prints, and symbolic motifs. You want your backpack to look high fashion not inappropriate.

The utilitarian backpack in its modern, zippered glory dates back to the 1900s. Therefore, the backpack will always be in style or needed in some kind of way.
