KIKI tips to pull off the 2011 SPRING look!

The Look...

Marc Jacob models for 2011 New York fashion week.


And what rules you'll need to pull it off...

Number 1.
Go for a bright matte lip this Spring, neon pinks and royal reds are in right now, so go crazy with lip color. Its fun, and also the perfect time to experiment with it. Also, tone it down on the face makeup. Meaning, no blush and little foundation. But if you must.. do a light pink shade for blush and concealer to hide those imperfections.


Number 2.
This season for clothes, try to wear clothes that float when you walk. For example, dresses and flowy pants are a good place to start. For my edgy fashionista's try a flowy jumper or romper. Color is HUGE this Spring so please don't be intimidated, go All out! Not only is color big this spring, print is also. Try a printed pant with a bright matte color for a top. Trust me, with all this color you'll be turning heads.



Number 3.
For day shoes go with a "Rihanna" type T strap sandal. It's laid back, sexy and practical. For night time, high colorful heels are a must. For fashionista's, try even a high floral heel. They're popular this season and will always be a conversation starter.

Steve Madden T strap sandal.

..and HOT floral heels for the night. ;)

Accessory tips for 2011 look:
-Match the color of your lips and nails.
-Wear big "stand-out" rings.
-Wear bright colorful bags/clutches.
-Wear bangle type bracelets.

Lykke Li is a HUGE fashion icon of mine. She is one of my fav's when it comes to personality and style..even her music speaks volumes. Check this song out, "I'm Good, I'm Gone". This British bombshell is chic and bold at the same time, love it! Patricia Reyes does a good job of capturing Lykke's personality in these photos.
