Inspired: InStyle 2012 Spring Trends

My recent roadtirp reading material included the most recent issue of InStyle. Inspired by some of the new 2012 trends, I focused my shopping/wishlists on trying some of them:

Bright Day Dresses

I picked up this cute bright orange number from Forever 21 for under $25.00.

Bold Pastels

I'm lusting after these super cute skinnies from The Gap.

Hi-Gloss

This top came for $29.99 from H&M and will pair great with straight leg dress pants or a high waisted pencil skirt.

Pleats

Thinking of purchasing this pleated accordion maxi skirt on my next trip to American Apparel.

After being inspired to do something to spice up my nails a bit for an everyday look, I found this great tutorial on a blue moon manicure.
Using Chiara's chic pastel outfit for inspiration....

And here is what I came up with...

Hope this inspires to do this super easy nail makeover on your own... xo
