Spring Trends + Fashion & Beauty | 2018

in , , , , , , , , , , by RoyallyPink, 7:00 AM
It's officially one of my least favorite seasons. My time of the year is over and it's the other people's turn.

That's ok because once Christmas is over, I'm a little bit over winter as well. We've been hit with some weird AF weather lately here in New York, but I have a feeling even though Spring is here, that won't be going away.

I am a little sick of wearing my boots and I'm ready for a pair of ballet flats. I also am over my big winter jackets and just want to wear a denim jacket. So I guess in a way, I'm ready for spring. I also really want an iced coffee and I refuse to drink them in the winter.

I have weird rules.

When spring comes, there are always new trends to try and things to buy and I'm feeling the burn.

Right now, there are so many wearable trends, both in fashion and beauty. I'm kind of obsessed with all of them, at least the ones that I'm going to talk to you about today.



Fashion:

  • Mules: This is a trend that we're recycling from last fall and I'm ready for it now. I already picked up these Gucci dupes from Target and I need the all leather pair ASAP. 
  • Flowers: Florals for Spring, groundbreaking! But really, it is groundbreaking. I don't think I've seen florals for a while, and this season it's all about flowers. This trend is very present in Kate Spade's latest collection for March; there are flowers everywhere! I usually hate flowers but I'm feeling it this year.
  • Satin: Another trend leftover from fall -- satin. We saw satin & velvet all through fall and winter and we're continuing that. I don't have anything satin, but I know I want to try something. Maybe a nice satin shirt will make it's way into my collection this season. 
  • Kitten Heels: I never thought I'd see this trend come back but I guess everything returns at some point. I don't know how I feel about this one, though. I want to like it because I hate wearing heels so maybe a kitten heel would do me some good? I might try it! Stay tuned.
  • White Shoes: This isn't a trend I could pull off but I love how it looks on another people. Katey McFarlan/Hellman wore white booties in a blog post last week and she rocked them HARD. I love this! 


  • Mini Bags: Now we're talking my language. I have a lot of mini bags in my collection but these circle bags are all the rage and I'm loving how people are styling them. Mini bags have been around for a while and I don't think they'll be going anywhere soon.


Beauty:

  • Glitter: Glitter is everywhere and I LOVE IT. I love some glitter in my life and it's bringing back so much nostalgia for me. I think glitter on the eyes or even in your highlight can be done really tastefully.
  • Rose Gold/Gold Highlighters: Is this a new trend? I saw it everywhere on every trends list but I feel like I've been rocking this for years! Well, if you haven't, welcome to the best thing ever. I love rose gold & gold highlighters and I don't think there is much else that I wear. They go with every look and add a bit of piazz to your look.
  • Ultra Violet: Pantone named Ultra Violet the color of the year, so obviously you're going to see it everywhere and anywhere. You can incorporate this with other shades of purple, and use it in your eyeshadow, eyeliner, lips, or even your blush. Get creative with it! It's a wearable color while still being a little fun and different. 


  • Glossy Lips: Glossy lips are BACK! I love my matte lips so much, and I'll still be rocking my Kylie Lip Kits till the day I die, but I'm feeling the glossy lips. I have never been a gloss person but I have found a new formula that I cannot get enough of. I can't tell you what they are YET but I recommend tuning in for my favorites post next week to find out.

Fashion Files: My Favorite Leopard Pieces for Fall

in , , , , , , , , , , , by RoyallyPink, 6:00 AM
Leopard is BACK and in a big way! I knew it was coming back when the Nordstrom anniversary sale had an incredible amount of leopard pieces to choose from. Now that we're in the full swing of Fall, leopard is everywhere.

I've talked about the trend before but with every day that passes, I find something new that I can't get my mind off of.



My girl Kate Spade is leading the charge with a huge leopard collection and I really feel like I need at least something from the line. Nordstrom also has a few great pieces and I'm eyeing them up for sure.

I wanted to round up my favorite leopard pieces, some of which I have and some of which I need.





Are you feeling the leopard trend?

Fall Fashion Wishlist

in , , , , , , , , by RoyallyPink, 7:30 AM
The Fall weather has been such a tease. The summer is not my favorite time of year, even though sometimes I pretend it is but it's not. I live for the weather between September and February. I love bundling up in sweaters, dark lipstick colors and nail polish, and lighting a candle at night.

UGH. I LOVE IT.

Last week the weather in NYC was a tad bit cooler and for once I could wear jeans and not be totally uncomfortable. It's cooling down and I'm ready to swap out all my summer clothes for my fall ones. 

I do have a fair amount of Fall clothes in my wardrobe but not really enough. While in college, I pretty much lived in yoga pants, leggings and my sorority letters. I didn't wear much else to class and on the weekends but then at night, I'd dress up so my nice, comfortable and stylish Fall clothes didn't get much use.

Don't get me wrong, I still wear my sorority letters and leggings around the house and while running errands, of course! I'm wearing them now as I write this blog post but still, I'm 21 years old, out of college and have my own big girl job. I WANT to wear stylish clothes and not hang out in lounge wear all day.

Like I said, I have a fair amount of good quality Fall clothes but hey, I'm a girl and I love shopping (#retailtherapy) and what better time to make new investments in clothing other than the start of a new season?

Here is what I'm lusting after this Fall and some staples I want to incorporate into my wardrobe.



//Street Level Reversible Faux Leather Tote: I saw Hallie from Corals and Cognacs blog about this little gem as her #NYFW bag and that sold me right then and there. Then I find out the bag is $48? BOOM. It's reversible in many colors? BOOM. I need this bag in my life and I'm praying it doesn't sell out before my next paycheck arrives. I am a tote loving gal and handbags are my bread and butter but I never go with classic leather totes. I'm always reaching for canvas material bags but as a grown up now, I feel that this is appropriate. I'll take the black/cognac color please!

//Ankle Booties: I am such a boot gal; riding boots and Uggs (shame on me, I know) are my favorites and I pretty much live in them for the next few months. I'd like to expand my horizons and get on the ankle bootie trend because I've been seeing them everywhere lately and feel the need to hop on this train. I feel like ankle booties are perfect for a night out or even to wear to work because they have a bit of a heel and I'm not a huge heel lover. They're so versatile and that's what I think I'll love about them. Here are some pairs that I'm loving. 1 2 3

//Plain, chunky sweaters: My favorite Fall look has to be a long, chunky sweater with leggings and a pair of boots, booties or smoking slippers. I have one or two chunky sweaters that can achieve this look but I want more! These are exactly what I'm looking for 1 2  3

//Ballet Flats: I'm not going to wear boots everyday and even though the weather gets a bit nippy toward November and December, I still love a good ballet flat for the Fall. I go through ballet flats like no ones business (maybe because I wore them to bars and sticky Fraternity basement parties) but I'm in desperate need of them. Send these babies my way: 1 2 3 

//Fun Sweaters: As you could tell I'm big on sweaters. I just love them so much! They look good with anything and you can dress them up or down. Give me all the sweaters! I love the trend of adding some cute sayings and designs. I always loved graphic tees from Delias and Aeropostale when I was younger so this is sort of the grown up version. Wish list items here please: 1 2 3

Honorable mentions: JCrew Herringbone vest , more AE jeans, GiGi NY Clutch and pretty much everything on my Pinterest boards.

What fashion trends are you going to try this Fall? What's on your wishlist? Tell me so I can add more items to mine ;)

Falling for Fall Fashions

in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , by RoyallyPink, 7:30 AM
With the start of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC last week, all I have been able to think about is fashion. Combine that with the start of the Fall fashion season and you've got one love sick 20 something.

Fashion was never something that was ultra important to me. My mother and sister were the fashionistas of the family and I trailed behind, happy in my sweat pants and out dated graphic tee. I dressed for comfort, aside from when my mom would make me wear an uncomfortable dress or pair of pants.

Don't get me wrong, I looked nice and presentable in my clothes but trends were never my number one priority. My motto was that if I liked it, I would wear it.

That still rings true today but as I grew older and got more in touch with fashion, I began to enjoy those trends a little bit more.

That being said, I am counting down the days till cooler weather, sweaters and skinny jeans. I can't wait to throw on a pair of riding boots, a cardigan, and a scarf. Fall is my ideal season and to me, there is nothing better than the fashion of fall.

This season I feel like there are so many drastic changes from last season; I've been keeping up with many of the trends and buying some (when I can) and keeping the others in my shopping carts online.

1. Beanies

BCBG's Fall 2013 Show


I've been seeing these everywhere and thank goodness I'm already ahead of the curve--I've had a knit beanie in my drawer for the past year and a half. I love hats and wish that I didn't feel so silly wearing them but I think I could definitely pull off a knit beanie on a chill fall morning.

2. Emerald Green

I love dark colors, especially black, but sometimes I like to throw in an actual color, like a deep navy or purple. This fall it's all about the emerald green and this excites me more than I thought it would. I've never been a huge fan of the color green but this deep, rich almost hunter green speaks to me. I need something emerald green ASAP.

3. Oversized Clutch



My handbag obsession is coming back into full force with the trendy large clutch. I carry around an obnoxious amount of stuff in my bag so a clutch is always out of the question for me. I love that clutches are in with a huge improvement in size. I may not love not having a shoulder strap but I could deal. I'm in love with this Rebecca Minkoff oversized leopard clutch.


4. Printed Pants

I've always wanted to pull off printed pants but I always felt strange since my thighs are not as skinny as I would like them to be. This season though, I may just have to splurge and get over my body conscious mind and get a pair. I especially love Kate Hudson's pants in the Ann Taylor Fall 2013 Ad campaign--so cute!

5. Oversized Sweaters




Sweater Weather



J.Crew boxy sweater / H&M cardigan, $62 / H&M sweater, $55 / Joveeba batwing sleeve top, $100 / Mango long sleeve sweater / Alexander Wang long sleeve shirt

I think this may be my favorite trend this season. I love a cozy sweater that can be fashionable but comfortable all at the same time. The fact that it's effortlessly chic is an added bonus. Someone give me one of these!

There are so many other trends that I want to get my hands on, like chic sneakers, men's watches, silk scarves, and a tuxedo blazer. I just really want to be a complete fashionista and take control of my wardrobe for once in my life. 

I think I'm well on my way.

What are your favorite fall fashion trends?
