What makes this spring and summer so different from other seasons is that it’s been all about color, lots of color, and huge variations in color. From colorblocking to neons to pastels, color runs the gamut this season, and the ways to wear it are endless! One trend in color that’s so pretty and easy to wear is pastels, which is why it’s my pick as favorite trend of the week! http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/965487/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-pretty-pastels Beauty & Style Fashion & Style Fashion News & Trends Jill Laine Wed, 11 Jul 2012 08:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/965119/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-summer-texture Hello SK Style Watchers! Though fall and winter months bring us a bevy of rich and varied textures in our clothing, by their very nature, lightweight summer fabrics tend to be very one dimensional. Finding fabrics with extra depth and dimension will engage your senses of sight and touch, not to mention take your style up a notch. These three fabrics that I’m going to show you today are always feminine and perfect for summer. Right now, texture is on trend in a big way, which is why it’s my pick as favorite trend of the week! http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/965119/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-summer-texture Beauty & Style Flawless Fashion Summer Fashion Jill Laine Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:16:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/965115/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-golden-goodies Hello SK Style Watchers! Even though I love gold all year-round, my favorite time to wear it is in the summer months. By its very nature, gold is glamorous and chic, which takes our more casual summer style up a notch but in an easy and effortless way. Gold is at its best when paired with bare, sun-kissed skin, which is why it’s my pick as favorite trend of the week! http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/965115/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-golden-goodies Beauty & Style Fashion & Style Fashion News & Trends Jill Laine Thu, 28 Jun 2012 10:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/963448/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-the-perfect-peplum Hello SK Style Watchers! What’s been around for over a century but is fresh, flirty, feminine and oh, so right now? It’s the peplum! The official definition of a peplum is a short, flared, gathered or pleated strip of fabric attached at the waist of a woman's jacket, dress, skirt or blouse. This extra fabric really emphasizes the waist, hips and female shape. Peplums have re-emerged yet again on the runways and red carpets, which is why it’s my pick as favorite trend of the week! http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/963448/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-the-perfect-peplum Beauty & Style Fashion & Style Fashion News & Trends Jill Laine Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/963446/trendspotting-with-jill-laine-tribal-trend Hello SK Style Watchers!
