 I don't know about you, but my fave jeans to wear are boot-cut/flare jeans. They are comfortable, you can pair them with anything, and they can easily go from day to night and be dressed for various occasions. This is how I would style my favorite jeans, for an easy day at the mall or park.

Together like Peanut Butter and Jelly

Together like PB & J

Together like PB & J by confectionarystyle featuring shiseido lipstick


These colors (peach & mint) go together like peanut butter and jelly. They complement each other very well, just like a perfect sweet sandwich or a spoon in a jar of Nutella. There is something so fresh for the beginning of Spring and these colors remind me of that. Mint and its fresh color and smell are very vibrant and the sweet aroma of peaches in the air. This look is perfect for Prom or even those Summer Weddings that are coming up.

Isn't this shoe so gorgeous. 

Now Ms. J.LO knows how to make a shoe. 
Love the height being a shorty 
and the detailed straps are just so wonderful, 
spices up the outfit.

Any bag that looks like a Chanel, is the bag for me.

I just love the flowers on this bracelet and how it 
combines the two theme colors of my look just 
perfectly.

The Shorts Story: Floral Shorts A Hot Spring Trend

Floral Shorts

Floral Shorts by confectionarystyle featuring wet seal jewelry

Of the many Spring 2013 trends this year (pastels, mint green, coral, bright prints, etc), by far my absolute favorite, has to be floral print pants, especially floral shorts. 

FYI, I would like to note, that I was on this trend; way before it became fashionable, circa late 90's early 2000's. I also was ahead of my time, with the cheetah print, high-low hemlines, and bright colored skinnies, way before they became the IT Trend; like 8+ years ago. With that said lets get to the details of this post. 

Since, florals is one of the hottest prints this Spring, I decided to put it together in a fun scalloped short. I decided to make it pop with the shoes and bracelet. To keep it casual and easy breezy, I went with a tank and denim jacket.
 
 
Anyone else miss MTV? I mean the channel still exists, but the old school MTV & TRL none of this Reality TV MTV. This channel was my go to, when I was in Middle School, right when I came home from a long days of school work. :) I love that with this tank you can still keep it close to your heart.
 
I love jean jackets, they are the perfect outerwear for Spring, Summer and early Fall. They are light enough, to not make you feel hot; but still have enough fabric if you feel a sudden breeze, which is typical on Spring and Summer nights. 
 
One word: Love these shorts. Okay that was more like 3, but you get the idea. 
 
Love the color of these wedges, not only do they pull the hint of blue from the shorts out, but they are bright enough to cheer you up and make a statement at the same time. 
 
Beautiful cuff bracelet. I would go for something like this, I think I have something like this. 
 
Well as usual, tale care and don't be strangers. Don't be shy please say hi.

Movie Day Date

Movie Day Date

Movie Day Date by confectionarystyle featuring wrap scarves

 Like my title? I think I heard that in a movie or if I am not mistaken on The Hills. But I love the ring to it, when you say it fast and out loud (Movie Day Date).  

This outfit is perfect for spring or summer, especially at the movies. Why do you ask? Well, the shirt is long sleeved and that will keep you from getting chilly/cold, in an air conditioned movie theater, and the peplum on it, adds a fun and flirty vibe and curves. You can go on a coffee date or even a picnic afterwards. Because its so casual and comfy, a no fuss outfit is what I am all about. This is my kind of outfit, cute and comfy. 

I am all about the wedge and these cute polka dot ones are sure to get compliments. An infinity scarf adds that special touch and added warmth on those cool evenings, especially if you decided to go for a walk with your lovely date. And I am in love with the pants because you cant quite tell if its pants or a skirt, due to the pleats. Everyone loves a mystery right?

So how do you like to dress up for a movie date? Do you prefer comfy and casual like me, or dress up and go all out? Let me know in the comments.

Spring 2013 Trends: April Pastels

April Pastels

April Pastels by confectionarystyle featuring anchor jewelry

Isn't everyone happy, that Spring has finally sprung. Although, I have noticed that some places have a lot of rain or still some snow showers. I feel you my peeps. Is it okay to call you all peeps? Me thinks so. 

Any-whosies, I am head over heels in love with pastels, there is just something so beautiful about them, the sense of feeling light and airy, or even like a little girl, baby pink anyone? (I am raising my hand btw, even though you cant see it). 

In this look, I went for incorporating the seasons most amazing colors: Pastels. This a great way to look beautiful with out looking like and Easter egg. 

I love how the skirt has two trends going on, the high-low (mullet trend- business in the front party  in the back). And also the rainbow of the pastel spectrum; my two faves violet and mint. 

I love the shirt because it has all the colors in the skirt in  a very beautiful print, not to mention that there are birds on it. OMG.

I went for simple accessories; with colors found in the overall outfit, and for those chilly nights, add a jean jacket that looks like a leather moto jacket. Cross-body bags in the color of the season CORAL are so hot right now and easy to maneuver/move around in. And flats keep your feet from screaming in pain.

EASTER is UPON us

Easter Hatbox

Easter Hatbox by confectionarystyle featuring satchel handbags

Raindrops on tulips and whiskers on bunnies.
Bright Easter eggs and warm sun-shining rays.
Brown baskets tied up with strings.
These are a few of my favorite things.


Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels.
Doorbells and children's laughter and lamb with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the sun on their wings.
These are a few of my favorite things.


Girls in red dresses with white satin sashes.
Glitter that stays on my nose and eyelashes.
Silver white winters that melt into springs.
These are a few of my favorite things.


When the dog barks.
When the bees sting.
When I'm feeling blue.
I simply remember that Easter is upon us.
And then I don't feel so bad.


Happy Easter everyone. I hope you like my song. You see what I did there, with My Favorite Things song from The Sound Of Music. Love that movie and song. I created the outfit above with the many inspirations that Spring and Easter bring to us each year. The bright colors, the blooming flowers, the little animals running around (bunnies and squirrels).

I just love this Red Dress. I mean the retro style and the little sailor details, I think are just lovely for an Easter Sunday dress. This is perfect because you still get a pop of color but you still have enough coverage, therefore its appropriate for Church or going to see your parents or extended family for Easter Brunch.
 
Is anyone as in love with this Trench Coat as I am? You cant beat the price either. I love all the bold colors in this. The canary yellow, the bold red, and possibly some orange in there. This just screams Spring and wear me, cause I'll make you look adorable. This is so in my must have list now. And I love how it complements the dress as well. Plus, you cant go wrong with something floral for Easter.

Flat shoes are a must for busy holidays and especially if you are going to go hunt some Easter eggs.
 
All the accessories are simple put still a little fun. They help keep the look classy and pulled together. And the bow headband is just the perfect touch, you can be like those ladies who brunch with those very elaborate Easter Hats, but without the fuss and weight. 
For the makeup I decide to go simple and with keeping in theme with the color palette of the outfit, I decided for coral lips and browns and pinks for a day time smokey eye. You end up looking fresh and a nice spring glow.
 
Overall, this is a lovely yet, very lady like look for Easter and for Spring. So let me know what you would wear for Easter and if this look is something you would consider?
