Trends I'm feelin' this Spring

I love this hair tutorial. Those of us with thick textured hair don't have to do all the teasing he does which makes this even better as quick styling option. This is one of my favorite trends from Spring 2011!

Another trend I love is high rise jeans! I bought this pair from the Gap believe it or not (it's been ages since I've shopped there). Also I bought a pair of BDG skinny high rise jeans from Urban Outfitters in charcoal. Those are the ones I've worn the most because they are perfect for biking. Obviously you want to wear skinny legs on a bike so they don't get caught in the chain but the added bonus of high rise means your butt isn't hanging out of your pants so all the cars behind you don't see your crack!
After 10 yrs. of rocking low rise jeans it is so refreshing to not have to hike up my pants all day. It sucks in your muffin top like a pair of spanx too so you look skinnier and your legs look longer.
I think a common misconception with this trend is that you have to tuck in your top- which you don't- (sometimes it looks better untucked) or that you will look like a mom. Darker denim steers you away from the mom category and it really just depends on how you style your whole look. Also you don't have to buy a pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans to get this style now. It is all over. Plenty of cool girl worthy brands have high rise options. Let's hope they stick around for awhile :)
