Spring Trends 2012

spring/summer trends

Today we are going to talk about 3 trends that will bring your current style to spring of 2012!  After visiting the two latest hairshows in NYC and in Atlantic city we have discovered many new trends that will be all the rage this spring going into summer.  One we found to be trending at this moment are big full eyebrows!! We are going to talk about maintenance and how to achieve the look.  The color orange in all forms, hair, clothing, and makeup is also very in right now.  The last trend we will bring to you is florals!  Florals in hair, clothing and accesories!!

Big Bushy Brows:  When we say big bushy brows we dont mean unruly, funky, out of sink eyebrows but we do mean full, maintained, and beautiful brows.  The fuller look is in this year of 2012.  Full brows means thicker towards the nose with a perfect arch and color to dye for.  By dye for we mean a prominent color brow which can be achieved two ways. One way to achieve a great color is to litterally dye your brows one shade darker then the tint that you color your hair or of your natural hair.  The other way to achieve colored brows is to pencil, shadow, or color gel them in.  This can be done very easily with makeup pencils, shadows and gels that trace along your natural brow shape.  I personally do both the dye and the makeup because the more prominent the brow the more trendy you are.  To maintain brows, regular waxing, tweezing or threading should be done once a month.  Color on brows can be done once every two months. 

Orange:  I love love love orange.  Orange clothing, orange makeup, and orange hair colors are all the rage right now!  When I say Orange I mean all shades for Orange from corals to coppers.  The biggest of all right now are Orange lips!!  I personally own Revlon's Tangerine shade and I am constantly being complimented.  You can also try orange shadows, orange cheeks, and orange lips as far as makeup goes.  Make sure you only do one and not all three we wouldnt want you looking like a clown now.  For those of you that are more daring try the deeper orange shades and for those of you less daring go for the corals.  Either way you will still be right in with the times.  As far as clothing goes anything will work; dresses, pants, shirts.  Also this is something you do not want to over kill.  Try an orange dress with a nude shoe.  You can also try an orange pant with a white tank or oversized doloman.  Two much orange will have you looking like a big pumkin and we wouldnt want that!! As far as orange hair goes we love coppers and golden blondes which hightlight the orange tones.  Ask your stylist if this is something you wish to try so they can pick out the right shade for you and I know you will be in love!!

Florals:  Florals are all over the place now!  I am loving them.  I currently own 3 dresses and a pair of sunglasses that have a floral design to them.  Floral looks good on everyone.  If you are more funky like me (Anna) you can try a pair of cat eye floral which I purchased from the store ICING.  You can also try a big flower accessory like a hairclip!!  This can make you look very sping/summer and cute all at the same time.  If you are more conservative there are so many dresses that you would just love that have such like patterns.  Just remember floral is a busy pattern when wearing dresses make sure you pair it with a solid shoe.  Florals can be dressy and casual so plan on incoorperating it into your next social event whether big or small and your freinds will be asking you for advice!!   

Remember to always try something new to perk you up! It feels good to look good!- My own personal saying!

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
