Spring is in the Hair...Again!

One of the many rites of spring includes lightening up hair color. Vibrant, lighter shades come out of hibernation along with the flip flops and capris. Instead of trying the typical highlights this spring, why not try one of these spring hair color trends? 

Blended Ombre - a little less OMBRE!!! And, much more subtle, so it is a look more women can pull off. 

Buttery Blondes - a departure from hair-damaging platinum blondes, buttery blonde is more golden and kinder to your hair. 

Orange-y Red Heads - hmmmm, can't say that I love this, it's definitely not for everyone, but if you want to go bold, this is the look for you!

Bold Streaks - this is fun! I love the idea of adding bold streaks of color in the hair. Even better, get a clip in extension in a bold color for some temporary fun.

Darker Accent Strands - another edgier look that can be tamed. Darkening the under layer of the hair for accent when the hair is pulled up or braided (braids are still HUGE this spring). Wear your hair down for a less bold look.

Spring Accessories Report, What Would You Wear?

Harper's Bazaar is so chic and organized. they provide all the season's best trends in a photo slide show. Of course other publications do this as well, but Harper's gives the trends the best names. 

For spring 2013 accessories, Harper's gives us, "See it Through," which has lucite, plastic and mixed materials in shoes and handbags, not a fan. Then we have, "Fringe Benefits," which is lots of tassels and fringe details, not my style, but to each their own as the saying goes. "Roman Holiday," can best be described as gladiator sandals gone wild, if you have the confidence to pull this look off, go for it! "High Contrast," is black on white accessories and very fun!  "Heavy Metal," features lots of big gold and silver. "Gypsy Soul," has heavy Bohemian influences, especially in hair accessories and is very cute and fun! "Totes Amaze," is my favorite name for the spring trend of really great big handbags to fit everything! "Block Party," is all about shoes with chunky or odd shaped heels...pass! And, finally, "Shady Lady," features ridiculously big sunglasses, think "Jackie O" on steroids.

"Gypsy Soul" by Dolce & Gabbana. Love this look, minus the earrings.
