Just back from a trip to Texas, I am suddenly inspired by the rustic allure of bull skulls. Not just for dusty ranch homes, incorporate one into an otherwise feminine space for an edgy, yet elegant upgrade. Look for versions in gold, silver, or brass finishes for extra style points.

We are always looking to incorporate new trends into our wardrobes, and gold has certainly made it’s way into many of our key pieces. So when Beauty High asked us to discuss some of our favorite color trends, gold was an obvious contender for this week (check out our first installment of Color Stories here). Whether a studded motto jacket, a pair of metallic kicks, or a slouchy handbag in a shimmery hue, gold is dominating street wear. It shined on recent runways as well at shows like The Row, Suno, and Badgley Mischka, proving that gold will continue to trend this year. Check out our recommendations on adding a jolt of gold into your beauty routine over on Beauty High, and then continue reading and get inspired by our gold rush mood reel.

The neon trend is still in full force for spring. Take it to the the lobes with dangly architectural and geometric earrings that pack a colorful punch. Not just for dress up, pair them with day wear and elevate your look from yawn to yes, please!

Our last post was inspired by the many wedding engagements filling our calendars this spring and summer. So happy for our friends! We decided to play dress up over the weekend and give two looks a test run that we are considering for some upcoming nuptials. What do you think?
Shopping for dresses has been such a treat. (Can’t wait to shop for the big white one!) We’ll leave you with our two rules for being the perfect wedding guest, besides buying something expensive from the gift registry…
First, consider the wedding’s location, theme, colors, and vibe when shopping. A lot of time and thought was put into this day, so give your look similar attention. Be festive and get glammed up! Second, be comfortable. There is nothing worse than having to sit out while everyone else is on the dance floor because your shoes are pinching your feet. Give them a test run before the big day and if you must, sneak some flats into the ceremony. A bejeweled thong sandal is okay. Bare feet are not.
Enjoy wedding season!
