The Hottest Hair Trends for Spring 2014

The catwalks have spoken and it is GREAT news for us lazy girls. The trending styles for spring 2014 involve loose waves, low-key up-dos and sporty head-pieces. I don't know about you, but I'm all for effortless style.

Here's a recap of the most coveted hairstyles to pair with your spring pastels and orange lipstick:

Mermaid Waves

We all know this look isn't new to the fashion world, but loose waves are a timeless classic that work well with all face shapes which is why they appear on the runways again and again. This looks even better on the 2nd day - just rub in some dry shampoo and away you go! Perfect for busy mornings when time slips away on you.

Messy Braids

Another versatile look - this works at the office and at the gym. Especially good for one of those ever-so-often bad hair days. Glossy or matte, the key is to keep it messy. Spray some dry shampoo in your hair before styling to give your hair some hold and tease away! I'd recommend using Blax snag-free hair elastics.

Sleeked Back

Yet another handy look for day-old hair. If you're brave enough, this style works as a great contrast to feminine outfits and girly make-up by adding a fun edgy vibe. Use a soft wax on your roots and work with a deep side part or go all-out sleeked back.

The Low Pony

This is probably my favorite style of the bunch. The low pony can work well everywhere and is absolutely fuss-free. Make sure your hair is pin straight and wear with a fun hair-cuff to conceal your hair elastic. Also, make sure to use a great serum to keep hair shiny and sleek.

Accessories

Speaking of hair cuffs, designers were all about jazzing up hairstyles with head bands, cuffs, flowers and ribbons. It is all about bringing your own personality to it so be creative! Bows were paired with braids, headbands with the low pony and the flowers worked beautifully with loose up-dos.

The New Pixie

Something I wish I was brave enough to rock - blunt cuts peppered the runways and looked uber chic. Bobs have been a hit on the runways since the early 2000s but gone are the days of soft, wispy cuts. This year is all about going short and blunt with vibrant hues. You can always try this look out with a wig for a few days to get a feel for it, but if you are aching for a major style change this is definitely a fun place to start.

What To Wear: Valentine's Day Edition

People either love Valentine's day or hate it. Either way, you'll most likely end up having to endure it one way or another. Whether you have a hot date with someone you've been crushing on for ages, are spending the night with your other half as you have been for years or you just plan on spending the night out with your single friends, the outfit dilemma always arises. When rocking the red for V-Day, I think we all agree that there is a very fine line between looking festive and cute and looking like a sriracha bottle.

You can't go wrong with these V-day finds, no matter your plans. And yes, this includes staying at home in your PJs.

Girls Night Out

Sometimes you just want to give a big middle finger to Valentine's day by going out and celebrating singledom with your gal pals, and this outfit is sure to grab attention from both males and females alike. The sheer neckline of this top adds a hint of sexiness without being over the top. Pair it with leather leggings instead of denim for a sex-kitten vibe. These platform booties are sure to get major shoe envy from your friends. For accessories, I love the look of gold ear cuffs and big cuff bracelets.

Girls Night In

The great thing about that Cami top is that it can easily work for a luxurious PJ top. Pair it with some uber-comfy black shorts and a whimsical eye mask for a Breakfast at Tiffany's-esque look. Heck, I'd wear this every night!

Mary Green Breakfast at Tiffany's Silk Satin Sleep Mask ($38.50)

Hot Date Night Out

Rather than wearing the predictable red dress or top, I prefer to rock a simple LDB with a sexy pair of tights and accessorize with festive reds instead. I would keep it simple and punch it up with accessories, like a thick chain gold necklace or a chain strap purse. His eyes will be glued on you all night (so please, watch out for spinach in your teeth).

Romantic Dinner at Home

Wear something subtly sexy, yet comfortable. You aren't going out, but you should wear something a little nicer than your usual Wednesday night dinner at home garb. I'm a big fan of bodysuits these days. Pair it with an awesome pair of jeans and a low-cut blazer for the dinner, then remove said items for a sexy romp in the sheets afterwards.


La Senza Lace Bodysuit ($34.50)
Nasty Gal Stratospheric Black Blazer ($58)
J Brand Tabitha Skinny Leg ($308)

With this arsenal of outfit ideas, you are bound to make the best of what V-Day has to offer. If you ask me though, the real holiday is February 15th, where all the chocolates are 75% off. See you all at Wal-mat!
