Alicia SuggsUpdated on March 26, 2014March 26, 2014Leave a Comment

Aw spring… birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, bees are fluttering about and the sun seems to dance across the sky. No designer got into the spirit of the season more than Sophia Webster for her spring 2014 collection.

Models participating in the show wore hairstyles inspired by insect antennas, yet the amusement didn’t stop there. Models also toted bags that read, “High Flyer” and “You Buggin.” Their nails were painted with iridescent and pastel tints in order to keep with the theme.

We are always thrilled when designers infuse youthful vigor and festivity into their fashions. Therefore, this spring season when you’re getting ready for your day just have fun with it!

Lela Rose Spring 2014 Hair Trend

Alicia SuggsUpdated on March 12, 2014March 10, 2014Leave a Comment

Cinderella and Snow White can eat their hearts out! Lela Rose gave new meaning to other-worldly, ethereal tresses. Bejeweled hair was quite common during the onslaught of spring 2014 fashion shows, but Lela Rose stuck out as different due to the absence of a hair tie or band. Golden flecks were delicately placed throughout the strands of Rose’s models up-dos. The effect was a fairy tale dream coming true. A nice and light style that is perfect for the spring season. Therefore, ladies do not be afraid to add some light glamorous touches to your mane this spring.
