How to Rock Spring '08!

Spring has SPRUNG!! WooHoo!

It's now 20 degrees in my area which means that it's springtime!! Let me tell you, winter has takin' it's toll on me. I've got dry skin, weak hair and just want to break out the skirts and heels I can't wear trekking through snow!
So once again my seasonal update has arrived, and I'm going to point out how to Rock Spring 08!
From wardrobe to hair to makeup everything! So take a look at my spring inspiration!

WARDROBE

WOW! It's all too much inspiration! I'm going to have so many looks to try this spring and summer. Thank you to all these designers for sharing their talents with the rest of the world! Now if only buyers and retailers would do their job and make us some nice knockoffs!


HAIR AND MAKEUP

Flawless, just flawless.

Anja is turning into one of my favourite supermodels! She had luminous skin and is so beautiful, but is a bit on the thin side. In the latest Gap campaign with Chanel, and Coco, she is the one that stands out to me against my favorites! Hmm I feel a girl crush coming on......

Of course Rihanna somehow made it onto this post, but just look at her! Her hair and makeup was on point at this year's Teen Choice Awards, and is a look I may just try!

E-V-E looked so cute in her Tambourine video and even though she was blatantly pimping MAC Cosmetics, it's true that her makeup did look hot!
Lauren looks a little harsh in this picture, I know, but the look was really white and bright. I also love her simple hairstyle here that keeps her hair out of her face and is a good alternative to her headbands.

THE BAG Once again Burberry hit the spot woth this bag. I love love love the Medal Studs Warrior bag that can be yours for $3195.00....dollars.....American....oh JeebuzZ! I first noticed it on the runway and quickly began searching for it. Now I'm desperately looking for anything similar with the same hard rocker edge.


The Shoes

Kanye was right! "The Chris in Christian Dior, Damn! They don't make it like this anymore!" There is no line I greater anticipate than Dior and I loved their spring and resort collections. I mean look at those shoes! They're killer! If I saw a girl walking down the street in these I'd be like "HOT DAMN!" I don't know if they're actually realistic, but something like them would be amazing and I'd wear them all the time. In fact are these the shoes my favorite Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is wearing?
I adore these Bruno Frisoni shoes as well! It's just laments the fact that shoes this spring will be super high, super fun and extremely flashy! A fun pair of heels and a staple pair of gladiator flats are all you need.

And Lastly....

JUST KICK IT!!Personally I plan to go out a lot this summer, dancing, dressing up and making time to chill with friends because summer's short!

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”- Coco Chanel

Set to Inspire & Jessica White

Here's the very ....erm talented Cassie just chillin' with her friend lookin' super cute! She should really stick to modeling, she's gorgeous. And, hey, her friend's gladiators look a lot like mine!
Hmm looks like their back together! Thelma and Louise are back behind in the clubs and I gotta say Lindsay, in my opinion, is looking hotter than ever post rehab! Even Samantha's looking clean! Let's hope they keep it up!
Teyana Taylor has GREAT hair! It's just so well taken care of, and poofy and curly! And oh yeah, her style aint that bad too! At her recent TRL appearance she rocked her usual colorful tee, a metallic jacket, dark skinny jeans and matching sneakers. If you haven't heard her single Goggle ME, then check it out.

By the way, do you know Jessica White?
She's got an incredible body (thin, but fit) and I love her look. Plus, she keeps it real when talking about the pressures in the industry as a black model. Of course Tyra is constantly bringing the topic back to herself and her own career, but ya gotta love her!
