Trend of the Month: Pastels

Spring has almost sprung and I'm seeing them everywhere- all types of clothing, accessories, new hair dyes, and bold new makeup palettes- pastels are being marketed everywhere as the perfect girly touch to any look. Whether you're going for a "grungy" look and use pastels in your accessories amongst an all black ensemble, or you prefer a more "preppy" look, and all the big pieces in your closet are baby blue, cotton candy pink, and lavender- pastels are versatile and complimentary to anyone.

Pastels always begin to make an appearance this time of year, but they're starting to pop up everywhere. My favorite pastels trend is the hair. Gorgeous shades of purples, pinks, and blues are all over Tumblr, Pintrest, Blogger, even New York Fashion Week had models with the new edgy look. 

Pastels have been taking over online shopping as well, these two looks were spotted on Nastygal. 

They're soft, sweet, and feminine without being too youthful.

The next trend for this fall seems to be pastels with Earthy and natural tones, as the pastels have become more muted this season. The pink is turning into a light rose, the lavender a soft periwinkle, and powder blue completes the new color scheme.

The colors are beautiful, soft, and complimentary to every skin tone. They are also versatile and can easily be added to any wardrobe. An easy and trendy way to incorporate the colors with your ensemble is with quartz necklaces. They're sold at Urban Outfitters, but I found some really cute ones on Etsy.com here, here, and here.

Sorry about not posting last week! I'm still new to this and I'm trying to get organized before I start posting all the time, so bear with me. Hope you're having a good week!
