Hot trends for Spring 2012!

The items below are what I think will be the hottest trends for Spring 2012. The fact is, no one really knows what the trendiest items are because it kind of happens and goes with the flow, so really the only way you can predict it is to

1. Think about the trends of last year

2. Think about trends that have been going on for evveerr!

3. Things that make sense 

4. Things you wear that you think will make a huge comback or keep going. So! With that being said lets get naming

• Colored denim. It made a huge hit in 2011 and is still going to go strong wit
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Colored Denim. It made a huge mark in 2011 and now it's time for 2012's time to shine. They're going to look especially good as pastels in the sping. I can just feel it :) haha. However I don't own a pair of colored denim but I think if I see some aqua or lavender ones I'll probably pick them up! They're really easy to style also, just throw on a graphic tee, some colored denim, and some uggs or boots or flats or whatever you want and call it good. They can also be dressy. Just wear them with the right tank or shirt or jacket and it adds instant niceness.
• Dip dye hair. I believe in September or October, Heather Morris--from glee--was see on Seventeen Magazine's cover with colored ends hair. She had all the colors of the rainbow going however it looks beautiful even with just one color or two or three..etc;. etc....I really want to try this but It's a little to edgy for me. (This just in! Selena Gomez was spotted with purple and blue dip dye!!!)
• Floral clothing. I myself really love floral print but for some odd reason, it became really popular throughout the entire 2011 year with everything from shorts, skirts, tops, leggings, bags, even pants! PANTS! I really like the skirt in the picture, I don't know where it's from though. You can find a skirt like it from basically anystore that sells clothing and is modern, heck I bet you could find one in a vintage or thrift store!
• THE NAKED PALETTE! From rant to rant to rave to rave and back again, we've all heard of the Naked palette, even people who don't wear makeup have heard of the Naked Palette. The reason the Urban Decay Naked Palette has been so hyped about is because neutral/ natural colors have been really in, the whole bright blue eye shadow isn't cutting it anymore grandma! The hippie boho chic look has though. With its prices high, and cares low people bought and bought and bought the N palette to a point where the Urban Decay creators had to make a 2nd Palette! Named obviously, The Naked Palette 2 with more matte colors rather than shimmer and a whopping fresh new 5 shades for the likes of my fellow beauty lovers.
• Cat eye sunglasses. Wayfarer shades are so 2011. I actually got so sick of seeing people with the nerd glasses, that I hunted for a cute new style that wasn't freaky. The cat eye shaped lens is, in my opinion, fresher and will be most likely the new best thing. I'm only kidding, I love wayfarers but come on, aren't you a little sick of seeing them everywhere. Try a new shape. Cat eye sunglasses or just glasses are super retro but are quirky and modern if work correctly. 
• High waisted shorts. Love the pair I'm showing you up there. They're grey with a huge bow. The bow adds a girly touch to the interesting look of the shorts. You've got to be careful and wear it with the right top though.
• Crossbody bags. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, patterns all to fit your need. They're really stylish and can be worn basically anywhere. It's again, a tad bit associated with the hippie look and was very popular in 2011 but I think that they will be just as wonderful in the year 2012 (ps. they're really convenient to college or school students that go to sports games or to the mall or activities because its small enough to not get in the way, but big enough to carry keys, cell phone, money, ID, Lip gloss and even a snack.
• Leopard print anything. It speaks for itself people
• Revlon Lip butters. Again, rant rant rant, rave rave rave the lip butters a GIANT GIANT GIANT  for 2012. I actually picked up Strawberry Shortcake from Target (its one of their colors) and it doesn't really have a taste but its really soft and melty and does a great job with color and hydration for the lips. Most of the colors are pretty neutral so they're extra wearable but the bad thing is, I know it doesn't sound expensive but at $6.00 to $9.00 they're kinda pricey each just for ONE lip butter. On the bright side, they're really nice so they're pretty much worth it. And they're popular so who gives a crap.

Thats all for this post but I hope you enjoyed and try out some trends for the Spring season!

Prom 2012! Glitter, Sparkle, Tulle!

Prom 2012! Glitter, Sparkle, Tulle! by nerdglasses22 featuring party dresses


With prom coming right around the corner, and sparkle being the biggest hit of fall/winter 2011 we all know that it's going to be the star of 2012 prom too! A few of the biggest problems for prom is getting everything at a good price, finding a hot date, and looking gorgeous. But there's always a point of Promzilla where you definitely do NOT want to stress about your price, guy, and beautifulness.  Here is a list of good dress stores for prom dresses or just formal dance dresses
www.promgirl.com , www.debshops.com , www.windsorstore.com , www.jcpenney.com , www.forever21.com , www.macys.com , www.delias.com , www.charlotterusse.com and there are plenty more sites but these are the most popular. That gets one thing out of the way. But also just remember, if you see a dress that you really like and you have enough money for it but you think, aww I wanted to save up for...blah blah blah...just think to yourself, I only get prom TWO times my entire life, there's no going back to the past. It's alright to splurge on a prom dress because this is going to be a huge night to remember.
Next topic is a hot date. If you have a boyfriend then you should totally go with him, if you have a crush, don't be afraid to ask him, the worst he could say is no. Which would totally suck, trust me I have been rejected before and it hurts but if you just move on and go with friends it will be so much better than sitting at home crying and wasting the money you spent on your expensive prom dress. Going with friends is a no fail also, that way you don't have to be nervous about coordinating colors, finding a resturaunt he likes, and just being ancy and nervous in general. With friends, fun comes naturally and if it doesn't, then maybe they're not good friends haha.
Next topic which is my favorite is the hair and makeup. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT! go get your hair and makeup done if you are on a budget, save your money for a dress. I'm sure you have a curling iron at home, just watch some youtube videos like macbarbie07 juicystar07 allthatglitters21 missglamorazzi and there are so many more, actually i also have a youtube channel it is iloveprettyhair and I have a few video's up so far. I'd love it if you'd check it out but. back to subject. Getting your makeup done professionally is extremely expensive it can cost from 30$ to 100$ some dresses don't even cost that much! Plus if you do your own makeup, it resembles what your style is, unlike some random person that might not even know you and has no idea you like....rock and roll so they give you pink eye shaddow or they may not know that your dress is green so they make your eyeshaddow purple! That would be embarrassing which actually it would look cute but anyways, its all about being you and staying true to yourself when it comes to the hair and makeup process. Most likely if a guy asked you to prom, it's because he thinks your pretty, so he probably likes the way you do your makeup when your most around him. Do you get what I'm saying, like if you wear black eyeliner, mascara and pink lips to school every day and then a guy asked you out, maybe its that makeup that looks pretty on you, your everyday makeup. So get out there, and have a BLAST!

Trend report! Color-blocking!

Are you daring? Are you sassy? Are you wild? Are you high fashion? Have you heard about color-blocking? If you answered yes to any of those questions then you'll probably like the color-blocking trend going on.  Betsey Johnson, Steve Madden, Gucci, Marc Jacobs and plenty other designers are including color-blocking in their fashion lineups. It's a hard trend to pull off but with the right accessories, anyone can do it!
Xoxo Shenae!

Trend report...Sequins! Hottest way to make a statement.

I'm extremely excited to say that the newest and hottest trend for winter spring are sequins! It can be any color or texture or print underneath as long as its sequiny. Even at the gym you can wear sequin spandex and it's awesome! It's totally chic and classy. Pair it with a white oxford, a black bow tie, the sequin shorts, and a blazer, maybe add black heels and you're looking great! Dresses are also a huge hit. sequined on top, tulle on the bottom. I especially love the dress below because of its gorgeous sweetheart neckline and simple detailing.  Above in the picture are some of the things I think are cute with sequins.
Here are some of my favorite celebs wearing sequins...

Lauren Conrad

Taylor Swift

Selena Gomez

Beyonce

Kim Kardashian

Hope you enjoyed and I also hope you purchase or just wear something sequined this season! Xoxo Shenae <3

Sequins by nerdglasses22 featuring a velvet blazer

Inspiration: Poppy red.

                  A poppy is one of a group of a flowering plants in the poppy family, many of which are grown in gardens for their colorful flowers. Poppies are sometimes used for symbolic reasons, such as in remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime.

                 Poppy flowers have 4 to 6 petals. The petals may be almost any color, and some have markings. Before blooming, the petals are crumpled in the bud ad as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away. A whorl of stamens is in the center of the flower.

         I am inspired by the poppy to me it is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. The color of (most) poppies is red. Red light is scattered the least and therefore reaches the greatest distance among all colors of the visible spectrum.  I based this photo collage on just that. The color red, poppies, crimson! Maybe that's why on Valentines Day, you wear pink and red. Maybe it will attract your love. I say, how about tomorrow, just look through your closet and wear something red. It could be a shirt, dress, pants those are really in by the way...colored denim, hat, necklace, bracelet, scarf, shoes...something red. It's a beautiful color, and you're beautiful too, so wear red. I'm sure something good will come out of it!

Get your hands on these items NOW!

• The picture above shows what you need to get NOW. Honestly these are just my opinion but I hope that this guide helps you whether it be to purchase a gift for someone, learn about the deals going on, or just realize that you really need a Pea coat because it's been getting cold where you live :).  Lets go backwards this time since lately with the pictures we start from the beginning. I also added some other things because they will either--in my opinion--be going out of style soon, or is limited edition.
• First we have a peppermint mocha from Starbucks. I know I mentioned it in my last blog post, but I can't tell you how wonderful this is! I really like that they decorate it so your not just paying like $4.00 for a mocha, you're paying for a warm peppermint mocha with fresh whipped cream and ... peppermint flavoring shavings? I think that's what it is. Either way, they decorate to perfection, and it tastes super yummy. (Just for a side note, I also love the ginger one, but I don't know what that's called, probably just a ginger cappuccino.)
•  Next up to the plate, or should I say type, is the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette. It's a little bit on the pricier side at $55, but If you love Urban Decay and you've got the money, go for it! I don't know how long this pallette will be out so that's why I included this shadow set.
• Working our way back we find ourselves looking (staring) at this gorgeous sparkly Alice + Olivia Dress. I don't know what this retails for, but a dress in general for winter formal would be perfect right now. Since winter formal is about a month or two away, buying the dress now while stores are having sales is a big bonus. (Another side note, sparkles, sequins, and glitter, are totally in this fall/winter so bring out the shine!)
• Yaay! Were making progress, finally at the top. Okay, so here's the dillio, we've all heard of the Crackle nail polish right? Well lets just say that I'm not a big fan. . However If you like crackle nail polish, I suggest buying it now because it's really popular and the price will be jacked up for the holidays. Or it could be a giant sale and you could get a bunch for cheap...hmm. 
• This one is super exciting because I'm getting one Friday! I'm so excited because I've never had a peacoat before and they are so comfortable and cute. Plus they go with everything, and not just color-wise but  it would look good with a t-shirt just as with a pretty blouse...who says blouse these days. I probably typed that because in spanish class today we learned that a "blouse" is called a "blusa" or "la blusa" lol.
• Last on the list is my favorite because I've been eyeing them but they are soooooooooo super expensive. Well to me anyway. Purple sequin Uggs are new this year I think. I really really really want them so bad. The color is sooooooooo pretty too. It's a blue and purple mixed but most of all, it's sequined! Maybe if I saved up enough I could get them and do a review. How would you do a review on a shoe though? I'm not sure. Anywho, thanks for reading my post :) 

Please check out my facebook page, the link is on the right. Unfortunately it will take you out of my blog and won't just make another tab, so read all my posts first and then go :) just kidding. Oh and vote my pole I really need feedback. I would also appreciate comments. I was really excited because I had a comment just the other day on my post about "A girls best friend" Thanks to Pandora's Box blog please check out her blog, it's really nice and she talks about the same stuff as me :) Xoxo Shenae!

A girls best friend

                            The following is a guide of everything that a girl should try or have. 

The first thing a girl should try is a starbucks coffee. If you don't like coffee then try a smoothie, starbucks is the best place in the whole word for coffee. I get the chocolate and banana viviano but I've also tried their peppermint cappuccino. Next on the list is an Iphone. Ok, so not all of us may have the money for a $500 cell phone but it's really worth it, think of all the things you can do with it. Plus there's an Ipod built into it! I already have an ipod though.  Following that on the list is another thing that I don't actually own, but I so wish! Bright pink pumps. They are so pretty! I'm pretty tall already so I wouldn't need them for height. They would go really well with an LBD which is after the pumps in my picture guide. I think now that times are changing and people are getting more mature and sophisticated, an asymmetrical dress such as the one above is perfect for the aspiring young lady. If you're going out then it might be in favor to have long lush lashes, if that's so, then I suggest Maybelline's One by One Mascara in Blackest Black. It's not waterproof but it make's your eye lashes so long and pretty it's hard to resist. For lips I suggest a pink to match your shoes? Next on the list of things a girl should have is a pink lip gloss. You don't need any other color as long as you have pink. Pink goes with almost anything, so it's basically fail proof! Equally important is dark brown Uggs! They don't have to be dark brown but let me tell you, just a few days ago, I was at Target and they have a new selection of shoes right? Omghhkp, there were some dark brown knock off Uggs there for $32 and I was like, HAVE TO HAVE THEM! I didn't bring enough with me though so I suffered without them, but I'll save up and get them next time. The last two things I do own, that is, a feather hair extension. Mine are blue, white, and orange, don't worry it blends nicely, then some nerd glasses! I absolutely love nerd glasses! In black they are totally chic! Modern nerd? Girly Urcle?

Tell me what you think. Disagree with some of these items? Comment below and share your thoughts :) Xoxoxo Shenae. I know there's a big space after this post but I can't backspace it, it's bugging me, I'm dearly sorry :(
