Today we have a guest post on fashion for 2013. Feel free to pin any of these tips. Enjoy!
New Year Beauty
Some beauty trends are
classic. The little black dress, a pair of great jeans and a sophisticated pair
of red heels will always be fashionable.
But every year, there are
certain trends that designers unveil in their fall line that will be really hot
for the upcoming year.
For 2013, there are
numerous trends that women from all walks of life can incorporate into their
wardrobe and makeup kit, ensuring that they look like they really in-the-know
when it comes to fashion.
Velvet
Velvet has been around for
years, and a great black velvet jacket really never goes out of style, at least
for a man.
But for women, velvet
hasn’t exactly been the trendiest of materials in recent years.
In 2013, expect to see lots
of velvet blazers, dresses and pants, as well as shoes and scarves.
The great thing about
velvet is that it’s a heavy fabric that will keep you warm in the colder parts
of the winter and look great at the same time.
Statement Nails
Nail polish has always had
its place, but many designers chose to go with a more natural look in recent
years, opting for a light gloss or more natural colors.
In 2013, designers are
making a bold statement with nails in bright colors with all kinds of designs.
A lot of designers went for
bold geometric patterns in daring colors, and this can work for a lot of women
that don’t want to limit themselves when it comes to what clothes they can wear
by using a more recognizable design.
You can play around with
painting your nails in different colors if you want, but for a great, quick
look, you’ll probably need to find a salon near you.
Chunky Heels
If you’re like a lot of
women, you dread walking around in heels that offer no support, but you might
do it anyway, even for long periods of time, just to look great.
You’re not going to have to
do that, at least not as much, in 2013.
That’s because chunky heels
that offer more support are coming back in style.
Look for a variety of
different designers to employ the chunky heel in both casual shoes for everyday
wear and shoes designed for more formal events.
Even designers that don’t
force you to pay a small fortune for their shoes will be using the chunky heel
this year, so you might even be able to save a couple of bucks by shopping
around in person and online.
Blue Eyeshadow
Like statement nails, bold,
colorful shades of eyeshadow lit up the runways at the end of 2012.
Designers and their makeup
artists were making quite a statement by using shades like turquoise and green
this year instead of more basic and earthy colors.
A lot of runway models were
done up with unique applications of eye shadow as well, partly because of the
bold color.
After all, turquoise eye
shadow might look great, but when you apply it to the whole lid, there’s a good
chance it’s going to look a little silly, even at a fashion show.
If you don’t want to go
with such a bold color of eyeshadow, try mixing it in with a more basic color
or covering it up just a little bit with a nude eye shadow.
That way you’ll still get
the pop of a bright color without the “hey-look-at-me” factor.
Teal eyeliner was also a
big hit in recent shows, and it might be just the bold style you’re looking for
without being quite as noticeable as blue or green eye shadow.
Cherry Red Lips
Red lipstick is something
that almost every woman in the world owns, or at the very least, has thought
about buying. After all, red lipstick is a classic fashion accessory.
In 2013, cherry red and
bright shades of lip color are going to be very popular, and you’ll likely see
them in print ads and at your local makeup counter all year.
Bright red lipsticks are a
great way to add color to your look, especially if you tend to wear a lot of
black or navy blue in the winter time.
Make It Work For You
At first you may feel like
you can’t accomplish these trends, but you can.
Figure what silhouettes
flatter your body shape the most and buy a jacket or dress in velvet in a color
that compliments your skin tone.
Play around with your nails
at home or go to your favorite stylist. Find pictures of designs online that
you’d like to try.
Chunky heels are seriously
being made in every style that you can think of so just go on a shopping trip
with a gal pal and find the one that suits your personality.
Although blue eyeshadow was
the devil for a while (thank you 1980’s) it’s making a serious comeback. Stop
by a makeup counter at your favorite department store or look on Youtube for a
tutorial to help you apply.
Anyone can do red lips,
it’s just about finding the right shade for you.
If you just take some time
you’ll be able to have fun with all these trends and put your own personal spin
on them.
