The Coolest Spring / Summer Trends of 2009

With spring coming fast, you’ll want to know what celebs are wearing and what’s hot for the season. Here is a quick list of the coolest summer trends of 2009.

• One-Shouldered Tops, Dresses & Bikinis. This includes everything from single-shouldered dresses to tops to bikini tops. Yes, finally the asymmetric shoulder-lines have made a come-back in 2009. I remember wearing these in eleventh grade way back in 1999 / 2000 and they were really hot then. Showing off one-shoulder is subtly sexy as it shows just enough skin, but not too much. The only problem I have with the one shoulder thing is you have to alter you bra to go with this – either buy getting the clear strap or the strapless. Also very popular this season, and tying in with the one-shoulder trend is the Grecian Style dresses. If you’re familiar with Grecian clothing, you know that most just wrap over one shoulder and leave the other shoulder exposed.Roman-esque and Grecian inspired clothing, espeically Grecian dresses and tops are very hot right now.

• Butterflies! Yes, we can wear butterfly tops again! Glittery butterflies are not in this season. This spring is more about elegance and sophistication. A beautiful purple and blue butterfly motif would be really hot this spring.

• Sheer / See-Through – Soft & Feminine. The weather is getting warmer, so wearing a top with sheer sleeves or mid-section is in this season. You need to keep it soft and feminine though, trashy and too-revealing is not in.

• The Fringe. Fringed skirts and dresses are so hot this season. Flowing fringes was really popular on the 2009 spring and summer runways.

• Fairytale Romance. This is something that obviously can’t be worn everyday or on a casual basis. The fairy tale / romance trend made dominant appearances on 2009 spring / summer runways and will likely been seen at red carpet events and celebrity weddings. Could this look have been inspired by Taylor Swift’s dress in her video for the song Love Story? Maybe not, but that was a very beautiful dress!

• Ripped / Torn Jeans. How do you go from Fairytale Romance to Ripped and Torn jeans? We’ll never know, but the ripped / torn jeans are back. We love the ones from Abercrombie & Fitch. The 2009 take on ripped jeans is that the more skin that is exposed on your legs, the sexier.

• Boyfriend Jeans. I don’t agree with this one. Katie Holmes couldn’t even pull it off. But another trend involving jeans is to wear your boyfriends’ jeans (or men’s jeans in general) and roll them up at the ankle. A lot of celebrities have been wearing this trend – Jennifer Anniston, Katie Holmes, Seinna Miller, Lindsay Lohan, and Victoria Beckham. If you shall choose to follow this trend, be sure to go for a straight-leg because flared and bootcut jeans do not work for this particular look. The ankles need to be folded, so keep that in mind. Most celebs that follow this use a brown belt to hold their pants up and pair it with brown or white shoes.

The Do’s… and the Dont’s of Prom

By Kayce

Do

The best rule for dressing up and looking fabulous without going over the top is to look like yourself…just with more confidence! Choose two or three tips from the list below to enhance your glam factor for the big night.

• Start whitening your teeth a few weeks before the big night. Eating strawberries is said to naturally whiten teeth. Or use whitestrips, whitening toothpaste, or whitening mouthwash. It can take time to whiten teeth, so doing this way before the big night will ensure your teeth are pearly white by the time they need to be… or even well before that time!
• Use sparkling shimmer dust on your cheeks and shoulders (if you are going strapless)
• Add glitter to your hairstyle by spraying your hair with hairspray and sprinkling on some glitter. This makes it stick better. Or clip some rhinestone clips throughout your hairstyle.
• Use a product such as Stila lip stain (in Cherry Crush) or another type of lip stain, so that when your lip gloss wears off, you’ll still have pretty pink lips, as if you were just eating a popsicle.
• Use charcoal, navy, or brown eyeliner to make your eyes stand out ­ be careful not to overdo it
• French Manicures go with anything
• Add a few individual false eyelashes
• Wear your hair up or back with fun clips or barrettes (especially if you normally wear it down)
• Shop for a dress with a scattering of sequins to catch the light
• Gloss your lips to a high shine for a sexy, wet look
• Try wearing a strapless or bandeau style dress if you normally dress conservatively ­ make sure you still feel comfortable
• Wear shoes in a metallic color for a touch of glitzy glamour
• Incorporate a long feather boa or faux fur wrap into your ensemble for some diva style
• Try a sandal or shoe with a heel (especially if you normally wear flats) ­ a little bit of heel will also make your legs look longer and leaner
• Add a tiara to your hair style ­ it may be the only chance you have to wear one
• Be yourself and have a great time ­ nothing will accessorize your dress better than a great smile

Don’t

You can’t prepare for every possibility of disaster on your prom night, but you can certainly be sure that you look great for any adventure that comes your way. To guarantee a comfortable, beautiful look, follow the list below of things to avoid on your prom day:

• Getting a new haircut or dying your hair a totally new color. Do not go from blonde to brunette, or vice versa.
• Do not wear a corset top. You want to be able to breathe and enjoy yourself on the big night!
• Getting a too complicated, heavily hair-sprayed style. Your hair may look nice, but you will regret it when you want to be comfortable later in the evening.
• Selecting a dress that is too tight. You should be able to move comfortably in your dress without worrying about ripping seams or coming out of it.
• Choosing a dress style you are not comfortable in. It’s far more important to have fun at prom than to show curves and skin.
• Using a new hair stylist for the first time.
• Going to a tanning salon for the first time, or using a sunless tanner the night before. Tanned skin looks better in photos but sunburned skin is painful and unattractive. You also do NOT want to look orange!
