Spring Outfits- Featuring Green


Welcome to Spring! With the weather being above zero almost everyday, I think I can dare to say that spring has arrived. Although I'm not a fan of the mud or water (you're looking at someone who hates messes) I do love the fresh warm air and the cheery spirit that spring brings. Along with the warmer weather comes bright and cheerful fashions! Goodbye drab woolen sweaters and clunky winter boots, hello peach dresses and heels. I thought that I would put together a couple of outfit sets, of different kinds and styles, to help provide some inspiration for all your new spring outfit choices. I decided to have a little fun and incorporate something green into every outfit. Although not very green out right now, we should start to see some nice grass and a few perfect little buds on the trees. 



The first outfit is for a night out, or if you like to be fancy like me, an everyday pretty ensemble. A pink or peach a-line dress creates an elegant silhouette while a well-cut, cropped jacket adds warmth and sophistication. Depending on how dressy your dress, choose a more casual jacket to dress down the entire outfit. Complete with heels because everyone should wear heels all the time   this outfit is like a modern day Audrey Hepburn inspired number. The green handbag, of which the choices seem to be innumerable this year, adds a pop of colour to an otherwise monochrome outfit.

Ahh the more comfy outfit! Complete with boyfriend jeans and a slouchy sweater, this look is perfect for a laid-back week end or for all the university students- moving day! The gold bangles add a touch of glamour, and the loafers- well they are just so darn comfy and give a nice menswear feel. Wearing a brightly coloured, but loose sweater with a looser cut jean will help provide a feminine touch to a somewhat shapeless outfit. If your sweater happens to be off-the shoulder like this one, it will add a slightly more flirtatious element to the outfit. 



If it is warm enough where you live to wear shorts, please do so. For the rest of who live in a crazy cold climate, wear them for us. To add flirty, feminine touch wear lace shorts- and why not in a bright, happy colour like green! Paired with nude heels and a matching top (notice the heels are the same as the ones in the first set- save some money!) this outfit is classy, chic and oh so versatile. When picking a handbag stick with neutral palette and choose one in a slightly darker shade than there rest of the neutral shades. Or you could bold and choose a bright handbag too! Like yellow or blue- I've also seen a lot of pastel purple handbags recently. 

I hope these sets provided some sort of outfit inspiration! Spring is the chance to come out of the drab winter colours and flourish in the bright and pretty ones.

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

  Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think!  If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
