What to Wear: Spring 2012 Trend Summary

In short and summary,

Although you wouldn’t know if from the closed lips on runways, sparkling smiles continue to induce coveting season after season.  And the best way to activate your own envy, is the #1 most awarded whitening brand by beauty editors, Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips ($59.99).  Turnaround visible results in just one use, as stains are removed from below the enamel surface.   Wear strips for two hours, daily, for one week to enjoy the full transformation that would cost $500 in professional office treatments.

My day now begins and ends with Crest 3D White Glamorous White Toothpaste.  My dental pearls demand the function and form of strengthened enamel and stain removal.  This glamour paste foams its proprietary micro-cleansing whiteners into every oral nook and cranny, which means my smile is shinier top, bottom, and between.

Freshy Spring Trend 2012: Peplum

Spring 2012 is definitely partial to peplums, the short little flounce attached to a fitted bodice.  A natural mirror of both lower figures and hourglass shapes, adept at accommodating curvy posterior assets.  Yet the peplum can also create shape for a linear figure, and add balanced flare to an upper figure.  A peplum can even camouflage the soft undulations of a middle figure.  

peplum passion: tuked peplum tank (anthropologie, similar) / 3/4 sleeve button tab top  (old navy), orbit necklace (j.crew)  /  ag rosebud jeggings (gilt groupe, available here) / kerry sling back booties (sole society, similar)
Basically peplums are Pangaea.
