The Cutest Winter Trends

I have a newfound obsession with colored pants. And I'm stocking up on as many pairs as I can get my hands on. I've been seeing all color varieties in magazines and catalogs and can't wait to rock my brightest pants for spring and summer! 

I'm loving the Ernest Sewn Audrey Legging in brown for winter.

The Nail Polish Color That Works All Year

This year has been all about color - from colored jeans and pants, to bright eye liners, to colorful nail polish - we're seeing pops of color everywhere - even during the depths of winter.

That's why my favorite nail color that works anytime of year is Essie's turquoise and caicos. Plus, 2013 is the year of the green.

A similar beautiful green shade by Sally Hansen was even rocked at Tracy Reese's February 10, 2013 Fall 2013 New York Fashion Week show on all of the models and even Tracy herself. Nail artist Tracy Lee coated the models' nails in Wedding Glitter gold first and then went over it with a reverse french manicure with New Wave Blue to create this beautiful look. Stunning!

 I'm a huge fan of this green trend! Let's keep it alive! :)
