TREND ALERT! If you are a chick that loves to be on the up-and-up on what is going on in the fashion world, then you probably know that right now it is all about the ACCESSORIES! Heels, flats, bags, and sunglasses are old news for this season, though. Summer is all about the STATEMENT NECKLACE! Young, old, classic, or trendy – no matter what your age or style is, the beauty of this trend is that you can make it work for you in your own way! No need to fit in the mold of some model or celebrity (although don’t we all try?) these are great items that you can work in and out at your own comfort level. Check out some of our favorite celebrities in statement necklaces below so you can see how to work this trend right! Shopping Tip: We have been seeing some great chunky necklaces for under $25 at Sideline Sweetie online!

We found this amazing post on the beauty department’s website and just HAD to share. I’m lovinglovingloving all of the new nail art that’s out these days. There are a ton of places to buy actual stickers and stick ons, but at about $12 a pop, it’s hard to justify when we’re also obsessing over new summer clothes Stick on nail designs are a fun way to add a pop of color to a neutral outfit, show your personality through your nail art, or to just add a wacky matching patterned design! With this do-it-yourself stick on nail tutorial, the beauty department suggests that we have the following items:

MUST HAVES: scotch tape, a few varieties of nail color, and scissors and or an exact-o knife!

First, paint a few of your favorite colors onto a piece of scotch tape in strips. Next, take your exact-o knife and cut them into fun shapes! Our personal favorites are a line design – Super popular for Spring! Once they’re cut out, place them on top of a base coat of color and cover it up with a top coat!

Simple as that

Hola ladies!  We knows it’s tough to find the right shade of lipstick. It’s a huge trend in the Fashionista world these days and we think it’s fabulous! The right shade can compliment skin tones, be used as an accessory or jazz up a casual outfit!

Top 3 tips when trying to choose a lipstick:

01. The most flattering color will be one to two shades darker than your natural lipshade, according to popular make-up stylist, Bobbi Brown.

02. If you’re a drugstore make-up kinda gal, grab a few shades that you like and head over to the part of the store with the most natural lighting. It’s best to look at shades in natural lighting to see what the true color is! Lighting is oh so tricky.

03. Hate the color you just bought? DON’T throw it away! A fun way to reuse lip color you just don’t like is to combine a bit of the lipstick, some vaseline, and if you want… even add an essential oil like grapeseed or vitamin E for moisture. Combine the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl, pop it in, heat for about 10 seconds just to soften and mix well! Buy a small container (or use a leftover candy tin if you’re going green!) Make sure you get just the right tint! Place the mixture in tins for a super cute DIY tinted lip balm! Made too much? Give it away in cute containers as an affordable gift!

Check out this fabulous color guide we found. These are some great references if you’re just not sure what shade is appropriate for your upcoming event. Hope this helps – and don’t forget… ALWAYS, always, always have fun with your style <3

Havent decided on the perfect hair style yet? No worries! We’ve compiled a bunch of modern up do’s for you to check out. Lately we’ve been hearing that lots of girls are going for a more laid back Prom style – Lots of flowy, simple dresses. These dresses look great with beach waves down or up!  The styles we’re posting about include braided up-dos, side ponytails, ponytails with bangs and accessories! All of the styles below are not only great for Prom, but for weddings, galas, bridesmaids, or any other formal event where you want to look stylish and classic!

Wear a flapper inspired headband with feathers and pearls to make a classic, yet bold statement! Use a colorful flower in a braided side pony to add a little color to your look. We love using dry shampoo before doing an up-do to get a nice texture – gives it the beachy boho look that we’re going for!

A few make-up trends that we love with a classic side pony are red lips! Anyone can pull it off and it looks fabulous on everyone as long as you find the right shade! We also love a nice, classic Audrey Hepburn inspired cat eye!
