This spring designers have brought back the popular 90s-style boyfriend jeans. Frays, rips, and rolled up hems create a comfortable, laid-back look that’s a huge hit with Hollywood starlets and fashionistas from coast to coast. Although this worn-in look has been seen before, it still manages to stay fresh!

For all you BGs who use your cellphones as watches, you’re going to change your minds after checking out the following timepieces! I must admit, I hadn’t worn a watch in a while, but I got tired of trying to find my cellphone in the abyss that is my purse, every time I needed to know the time. So, I recently bought a two-tone watch that is semi-dressy, but yet still very practical. From slender feminine styles, to bulky oversized “boyfriend” trends, the variety of watch styles are endless.

Now that spring is officially only a few days away, floral prints are sprouting up everywhere. From frilly frocks to flirty camisoles, flowers both large and small are finding their way into fashionistas’ closets. I’ve never been a huge fan of floral motifs, but I’m trying to step outside of my box of basic black into more color. So when it comes to this trend, I will proceed with caution or take very slow baby steps.

Nothing instantly adds polish to jeans and a simple tank like a blazer. Whether worn fitted or loose, blazers give a touch of sophistication to casual outfits and an extra dose of fabulousness to dressy ensembles. This spring, be playful with bright hues, but if you desire a more conservative laid-back look, stick to neutral tones. Remember a quality, well-tailored blazer is a classic piece that every BG should own because it will stand the test of time!
