Summer 2015 // Trends

The summer isn't over yet! There is still time to follow trends and adapt them to your own personal style. Many classic, timeless trends have resurfaced this summer. Here are a few that you can wear:


1.) All white!

Not only is wearing just one color classy, but it is extremely effortless. White is the perfect color to wear. It's refreshing and looks flawless on any skin tone. All white looks stunning if you're on a tropical vacation or even out in the city running errands. Pair your all white ensemble  with nude sandal heels, for a sophisticated and slim look. For a personal touch, accessorize with a neutral or colorful handbag or jewelry.

2.) Denim on Denim!

This trend may seem super outdated or even too rebellious, but it is actually in style. It's a bold statement, but is a casual look to try. This look can be worn in many different ways. You can rock a light wash chambray shirt or even a darker wash. Depending on your comfort, you can sport a cute midi-skirt or a pair of high waist jeans. Celebs like Rihanna, Beyoncé and Zendaya have pulled this look off, in the past.

3.) Neutrals & Nudes!

Whether it's your lipstick, handbag or bodycon dress, neutrals and nudes are a must. Neutrals can soften up your entire look and go with everything. You can look simplistic, yet stylish wearing colors that either soften or warmth your summer tan. Nudes are great transitioning pieces for the summer into the fall, too!

Confidence & Self-Esteem

Having a bad day? Do you need a confidence boost? Having great self confidence and self-esteem is fundamental for living a positive life style. Its okay every once in awhile to have a day when you don't feel so great, but it's better to have more "happy" days than "bad" days.

Great ways to boost happiness and confidence is to participate and be active in activities you love. So take off a weekend and spend it doing what YOU want to do. The only person who can live your life is you! Everyone has flaws...so embrace them!

Make a list of your flaws and turn them into something great. If you're curvy, show off your figure and own it. Some of the things you are self conscious about are the things people love about you. Not confident about your body type? That's perfectly okay! Instead of wearing baggy, dark clothing wear something more energetic! When you dress better and feel beautiful, you shine. 

Make goals for yourself instead of expectations. Don't be afraid to break out of your shell. Your body posture is everything! If you are inviting and show that your happy, you will attract positive people to you. Life is short, so don't spend it being uncomfortable.

Empowering Quotes by Empowering Women:

"In order to be irreplaceable, one must be always different."- Coco Chanel

"Being happy never goes out of style."- Lilly Pulitzer

"You get in life the courage what you have to ask for."- Oprah Winfrey
