The wait is over! It seems that we have finally defrosted from winter and spring is just around the corner. You’re probably changing over your closets and getting those pedicures to prepare for your sandals because to be honest, who likes to wear closed-toed shoes? If you’re like the majority of us, you like to cater your look to the season. Whether it’s your nails, your hair, your make up, it’s always fun to change things up. Fashion trends change from season to season, year to year, and it can be hard to keep up! So what is in for Spring/Summer 2015? Let’s explore everything you should know for your hair, make-up and nails!

Hair is something people tend to struggle with day in and day out. You style it the way you like it in the morning, but by lunch hour it’s already coming undone. Good news! A hair trend for Spring/Summer is exactly that. “Coming Un-done” styles are in! Wispy strands around the face, teasing that isn’t perfect, low messy ponies;

If you aren’t a great at-home stylist you’re in your prime!

Braids are making a come-back as well, and the trend is to have them look “lived in”. Whether it’s a French braid or a fish-tail, after constructing pull it apart so it’s not tight. Maybe leave a few pieces out around the face or pull it to the side. These are all good for day time wear and night time, but if you want to dress them up, there are a few things you can do. You can try taking a deep side part and pulling it all to the side. Take what is left of the ends outside of the braid and straighten them to look sleek and smooth. For the pony tail you can do low-mid height, leaving the overall look sleek and tucked in, but then adding a little wave or curl to the pony tail itself just to make it flirty and fun! Lastly, for those who hair isn’t long enough for these long braids and ponies, or who just like to always have your hair down, your trend is “air-dried texture”. If you have a natural curl or a beautiful natural wave, put the blow-dryer down, add a little product and go! If you have a hard time getting that perfect, natural look, style your hair completely, then only spray the ends with some water and allow to dry. It will add just a little natural texture, without it looking like you just woke up! If you want natural, beach-y waves, add some product to your hair and split your hair in to two sections. Twist them towards the back and pin. Once dry, release your twists and your hair will fall into a gorgeous, Cali-wave.

Now that your hair is done, you must do your make-up. Some people may not wear much and that’s just fine, while others may have so much they don’t know what to do with it! If you’re one to just dress up your eyes, you must have a “perfect plum” eye-shadow. If a plum is a little too dark for you, try a lighter shade, but purples are definitely in! “Inky-Black eyes” are another way to be trendy without doing the rest of your face. The blackest-black eyeliner is in, and you can add that to your perfect plum shadow, or just wear it alone. A day time look would be the cat-eye that is clean and chic. Of course you would have to spend time mastering that because I think we can all agree it’s the hardest thing to do. At night, you could tightly line all around the eye. You could also leave your face all natural, and do a thick eye-lid liner only. You may just want to line the outer corners of your eyes to make them appear more open. If you’re brave, or like to add a pop of color to your natural look, or only need to coat your lips to feel complete, bold red lips are in! Take some time at a make-up counter and try them all! Once you find one that you love, you won’t be able to live without it. If bold-red is a little too flashy for you, try an orange-red. It’s softer, yet adds the right color to brighten everything up!

Lastly, before you run out the door whether to work or a night out with friends, you want to add a splash of color to your nails. For this spring/summer, it’s either all or nothing! Wear that perfect plum on your nails, or that bold-red. Either one, you’re fashionable! If you are a more subtle person, or if it’s just what looks best against your skin tone, baby-soft polish is in. The palest pink or a chic nude all over the nail is perfect! You could even put a pink over a nude or vice-versa to create your own neutral look. Are you one to always have a design? “Negative-Space Manicures” will be your trend! These designs allow partial view of the naked nail. Whether it’s just a stripe of color on one side, or half moons filled in on the bottom, these abstract designs allow for your natural beauty to shine through while creating a chic look.

A lot to take in right? Maybe you are already up to date on all of the style trends for Spring/Summer 2015, maybe you have found some new looks and styles you want to try out. Just remember that no matter what you decide to stick with, add on or throw away, true beauty is found within and that is a trend that will never go out of style.
