Three Swim Suits You’ll Want for Spring Break

Fashionably brought to you by Simon Malls

I don’t want to get anyone prematurely excited, but it’s almost spring break.

Winter is almost over. We’re almost out of the woods. And not a moment too soon, because this winter weather has got to stop. Like, yesterday.

Even if you haven’t spend these last few months perfecting that spring break physique (and who can blame you? Winter is all about insulating your body with natural fat), you still need a new suit to hit the beach. Here are a few styles I’m considering for my migration south.

Garden Escape with Clarins Skin Care

Fashionably brought to you by Simon Malls

This Spring, get yourself garden party ready with Clarins! A few local bloggers were treated to a presentation by Clarins at the Houston Galleria a few weeks back. We got to test out all of their new products to get our skin ready for Spring. Of course, they’re all about skincare with their double serum (which I actually already use daily) and their daily cream. But they have makeup and lip products to get you looking bright and natural after those long winter months. For eyes, it’s all about the green, which they described as pretty much perfect for any eye color, giving the perfect pop to anyone’s look. Pick up their green kohl pencil for perfect liner and smudging.

Spring Handbag Forecast: Bright

Fashionably brought to you by Simon Malls

Spring’s hottest handbags are a lively bunch. Boasting candy colors, mixed materials, even patchwork and tweed. Sherbetamethyst, tangerine, or crimson, the colors have a range as vast as a rainbow.

If you shy away from colorful handbags thinking black and brown are the only colors that work with everything, take note: statement handbags are also surprisingly versatile. A bold bag can be the perfect finishing touch when paired with a neutral outfit, and just as nice with a contrasting color, for a color-block effect.

Atlanta Ballet - Maillot's Romeo et Juliette

Choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot is back in town, reviving one of his most impressive creations for a two-week run at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Accompanied by the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra, Atlanta Ballet‘s “Roméo et Juliette” is a sleek, simple modern reincarnation of William Shakespeare’s classic love story.

Winter in Harem Pants

Fashionably brought to you by Simon Malls

Harem pants are a perfect mix of serious street-style and comfort. They are a style of pant popularized by M.C. Hammer, but they’ve been seen recently around the streets as they try to make a come back. I personally don’t know how I feel about this trend yet, but decided to give it a try before I write it off. Since we are in the midst of winter and the snow and cold temperatures that do not seem to be leaving us anytime soon, I styled the harem pants to fit the season.
