Shirt: H&M Fine-Knit Sweater // Pants: Banana Republic Slim-Fit Ankle Zip Pant / Necklace: LOFT / Shoes: Levity Jalone Pumps / Watch: Bulova (similar) / Bangles: Birthstone Alex & Ani Expandable Wire Bangle

Over the weekend my husband and I visited my parents in Connecticut. The weather was absolutely gorgeous all weekend! Such a big change in weather from last time we were up there.

On Saturday we ran errands all morning and also went out to lunch.  I paired my favorite black zipper pants from Banana Republic with this cute grey sweater from H&M.  The sweater has lining underneath and the back is open which sets it apart from any other boring sweater.  To complete the look I paired my outfit with this pretty statement necklace from LOFT which has a hint of that beautiful lime color.

Hi Lovely Readers! Today I wanted to do something a little different on the blog and to show you a couple of pieces that I've picked up for Spring 2014!

Hottest Spring 2014 Fashion Trends

With spring just around the corner, I've been majorly crushing on a couple of trends and have been seeing them everywhere! I am excited for the warm weather and absolutely cannot wait to rock these trends! Here are My Golden Beauty's Hottest Fashion Trends of Spring 2014.

Pastels.jpg

White, pink, blue, mint, violet, coral - These are the hottest pastel colors out there. Don't worry, you won't feel like the Easter Bunny.   Designers have gotten pastels right and have done these colors so gracefully. Pastels are definitely one of the hottest trends right now for spring.  Pair with jeans, skirt, white or black pants and these classics are updated and ready to wear for 2014.

Crops tops are EVERYWHERE and are extremely popular for spring and celebrities everywhere have been sporting crop tops everywhere, especially Kim Kardashian.  Crop tops are best paired with a midi skirt.  Midi Skirts are youthful and when done right, look very modern.  I would recommend pairing a midi skirt with a crop top or a tucked in top so that it accentuates your waist and offsets the length.

Alright ladies, pleats are making a HUGE comeback. Of course pleats have been around for quite a while but it's good to know how to update this old trend.  Make sure pleats aren't too "puffy" and also either wear with a tucked in shirt or a crop top to accentuate your waist! 

I LOVE collarless jackets.  Collarless jackets are timeless and for the springtime they are perfect for those chilly spring nights.  This trend will be staying around for a while.  It's best to stay safe with a neutral or solid color, but it's always fun to take a risk with bright colors and prints.
