Spring fashion is one of the most fun times of year. It is the beginning of the new year, and designers always have fresh ideas for what you should be wearing this season. Some styles keep it simple and stay true to their nature with florals, pastels and even bright colors, while others go against the grain and add in deeper hues, edgier patterns and statement pieces.

This spring brings in new trends and mixes them with well-established trends. Below is your guide to being the perfect fashionista this spring season. From handbag to shoes and jewelry to dress, you will be on your style A-game for sure.


1. The Handbag

This spring you have a few choices for handbags. The color that is most trendy is a bright pastel. (Seems contradictory, but when is fashion not?) To up your handbag style points, get one that has fringe, chain detail or embellishment.


2. The Choker

Yes, the choker is back from the 90's. Never did I think I would see the day that the choker came back, but here it is. Models like Gigi Hadid are well-known for wearing a choker as a statement piece to a casual, daily accessory.


3. The Shoe

A big trendsetting shoe this spring is the flatform. It's the best of both worlds. You get the height of a platform, but it has a flat base. This can be in a sandal, sneaker, espadrille. You name it, and there is probably a flatform version of it.


4. The Dress

If you want to be in style this spring you need the right dress attire. This spring's most wearable fashion trend is all about patterns and micro-pleats, particularly stripes and gingham. So, load up on your patterns and micro-pleats ladies and gentlemen.

Spring trends are always fun, and with the latest 2016 trends, you have a lot to play around with without being looked at too strangely. Now, go and spread your fashionista wings and show your friends what's cool this spring.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
