It’s been feeling a lot like Spring lately. Celebs have been stepping out in spring like colors too – Solange and Kristen in yellow, Jamie with a floral print skirt, Jessica color-blocking in pastel shades and Mary Kate blends an all black look with a hint of orange clutch and sandals. These outfits are all great examples of what we should be doing to prepare for spring. Start gathering floral dresses or bright blazers and pair them with winter clothes so then you’ll be spring-ready! When the warm months are finally here, the transition will seem effortless.

February is the month of love. What you wear this month should convey the message of simple, sexy chic.

One of the best trends this spring are bright colored dresses that are one shoulder, patterned, ruffled and that show a little bit of skin.

Amanda and Dita are wearing low cut, V-neck dresses that are simple and very sexy. Dita decides on a red-hot pencil dress, with matching maroon pumps and clutch. Her makeup is all glam with red lips and cat eyes. Amanda is all grown up in her Giorgio Armani two toned dress. She pairs her revealing, but flattering dress with metallic open toe pumps, clutch and bracelet.

Beyoncé wears a flirtateous red, ruffled one-shoulder gown for her fragrance premiere party. The look is sultry, paired with black open-toe pumps and ruby jeweled earrings. She keeps her makeup simple with side-swept bangs. Ashley Olson’s blued ruffled gown with matching jeweled shoes makes her looks like she’s ready for prom! She is adorable in this outfit, with bed hair and smokey eye makeup.

DJ Solange looks like a cutie pie in her red patterned mini. The look is very stylish and she pairs it with black pumps and plum lips. Continuing the trend, Katie wears a one shoulder, long sleeve blue sequined mini. The look is chic, with black strapped sandals and a silver clutch.

Whether you have a date coming up or a valentine’s dinner to go to, a patterned or sequined mini is the perfect outfit. And if you have been invited to a star-studded event or even if it’s your birthday, dress up in ruffles; it’s a flirtateous ensemble and makes you stand out in an adorable way. Lastly, if you’re a bold gal who likes to take fashion risks, a V-neck dress would be a sexy choice. Make sure the event you are attending is accepting of your attire before choosing something that shows too much skin.

Bonne Chance ~ Good luck!!

What is considered natural beauty? Is it not dying your hair or wearing too much makeup? I think we crossed that threshold a while back with everyone now wearing weave, fake boobs and padded booties. Have we gone so far away from what true beauty is that we don’t know what it is to be natural anymore?

I believe natural beauty stems from not hiding what you REALLY are. If you have freckles all over your face, natural beauty would entail accentuating it with a little blush or bronzer. Or if you’re a B cup, it would be being satisfied enough not to get silicone implants.

A couple of months ago Solange Knowles decided to cut off her long hair (or her long weave) to embrace her natural short hair and the whole world freaked out! She said she had done this before and wanted to feel free from the bondage that so many women put on with wearing weave. Her new natural look is great and obviously she looked good before but there’s something about her new look that gives her a sort of natural glow.

Mariah Carey has also gone back to her roots with her curly locks, making her look ten years younger.

And Halle Berry has always stuck to her pixie cuts; highlighting her well-known cheek bones and gorgeous, flawless skin.

In our day and age it may be very difficult to be our natural selves, but at some point we have to accept the great features God has given us and let it shine through. True beauty is unique and who doesn’t want to be uniquely beautiful?
