Recent Trends I Like

1. Gold Makeup

I think gold can really make people's eyes pop. It is also a nod towards the soon coming of summer.

2. Color Blocking

When done correctly, color blocking can really highlight your body nicely. Remember, the areas where the different colors clash is where the attention will be brought. This is a good trend to go for if you want to catch someone's eye. Summer fling, anyone? Just kidding :)

3. Different Styles of Braids

I'm loving the new twists on the classic braid. I really like the rope, fishtail, and french braid styles that are showing up. Braids look especially boho chic in updos, or paired with headbands.

4. Ombre

Ombre nails, clothes, and hair are totally in right now. The only thing I'm not really a fan of is the ombre hair. To me it just looks like someone whose had their roots grow out for a really long time! Sorry, but we're all entitled to our opinion. If you have ombre hair, rock it!

5. Feathers

Feather patterns, earrings, and hair extensions can be seen everywhere now. Once again, I'm not really a fan of the hair trend. I don't know what it is, but everybody at my school has feather hair extensions.

6. Floral and Pastels

Come one now, this is a given. Floral and pastels are the staple of every summer. These are classic looks that are rocked every year, non stop.
