Charlotte Tilbury’s matte revolution lipstick is one of my favorite lipstick lines. As you know, matte lips are a huge beauty trend for spring and summer this year. This makes Charlotte Tilbury’s matte revolution lipstick collection the perfect go-to line for a matte cream lipstick.

Pink also happens to be right on trend for spring and summer 2016. So when I spotted Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Between the Sheets lipstick, I knew it would be the perfect pale pink for the season. I love it!

Between the Sheets is a fabulous pale pink lipstick which glides on smooth, is nourishing, and lasts until you eat. I love the 60s era pink hue, and how it wears! Charlotte Tilbury Between the Sheets will be a perfect lipstick for both the spring and summer seasons. Love!

Pink is an important color in both apparel and beauty for spring/summer 2016. Not only is it tied to the color of the year, it is being shown in everything from pastel hues through bright colors for both seasons. This makes Between the Sheets by Charlotte Tilbury an easy color to wear this season since it plays well with every shade of pink.

Wide leg pants for spring 2016

Wide leg pants for spring is a huge trend in fashion right now. Since I am 5’4″ tall, I am always squeemish about wearing wide leg pants. They tend to make me look short and stout. Despite this fact, I love how they look. There is a certain effortless vibe wide leg pants give off, and I am drawn to anything effortless.

When I saw these wide leg pants for spring from Banana Republic with vertical stripes, I thought the stripes might offset the wide leg, and not make me look short and stout. I was almost right!

I tried on these pants with both flat shoes, and tall heels. I found with flats, I look short and stout. Ugh! When I paired the pants with high heel platforms, the pants were balanced out, and voila; I look normal again! Yay! I found wide leg pants for spring I can actually wear!

One of the things I love about Banana Republic, is that they offer petite, and short pants. My height is on the border for petite clothing, which means petite pants do not always fit properly because my waist is long, and my legs are short. With Banana Republic’s short pant option, I can find the proper rise, and leg length, without having to have the pants altered. Love that!

I have been wearing my striped, wide leg pants for spring with a tee, and heels, but they can be styled so many other ways. For meetings or the office, they can be paired with a blazer, or crisp shirt. On colder days, they can be paired with a light sweater, and jacket. I’m looking forward to wearing these striped wide legs pants for spring in many different ways throughout the season.

Have you tried the wide leg pants trend? What do you think of the trend?

Best spring 2016 handbags

April 4, 2016 in General Fashion / Handbags / Trends tagged mansur gavriel / spring 2016 by Cheap Luxury Handbags Store

From top left: saddle bag (#1 on my wish list! Under $1000) / red bag (classic bag, one my wish list!) / pale blue shoulder bag (under $300) / red mini tote (under $500 and comes in white!) / navy box bag (hot designer IT bag) / circle tote (three colors in stock) (I pre-ordered one-love!)

Spring has sprung, and there are so many amazing handbags on store shelves for the season! Many of these bags are ideal for both spring, and summer; so they are perfect to buy now. As always, my wish list is bigger than my bank account, so some of these bags will remain a dream, while others, might get squeezed into my budget.

The spring 2016 season is all about several IT bag styles. Here are a few of the season’s hottest handbag trends, and my wish list above, fits into all of them.

Saddle bags: I did a full article on this trend here. They are classic yet nostalgic. I love the 1970s vibe saddle bags bring to the fashion table. They are lightweight, easy to wear everyday, practical, and so cute! My top choice for the season is this one.

Box bags: Structured box bags are so Jackie O. I love this trend, and I am waiting for it to explode. If you are not into carrying a box around, look at Mansur Gavriel’s soon-to-be-iconic circle bag. It has been selling out quickly, so if you are interested, you can pre-order yours online here or here.

Mini bags: This seems to be the trend which never dies. Despite designers not showcasing it in full force on the runways, (runway bags have been bigger the last few seasons), consumers love their mini bags. If you have not purchased one yet, I recommend this one. The price is moderate, and the style is perfection.

Large tote: This is not really a trend, more of a summer classic, and necessity. Everyone needs the perfect summer tote! For summer 2016, look for multi-colored totes, patterned totes, and stay away from solid colors. Totes for summer 2016 are F-U-N! I have my eyes on this one.

Handbag trends for spring 2016 are classic with a twist. Love that! What is your favorite handbag trend for spring 2016?

If I had a money tree, here is my entire spring 2016 handbag wish list, a girl can dream right?
