Happy Spring! With the chilly weather that has been plaguing us these past few days, it doesn't seem too much like spring, but warmer temperatures are in the air! This spring, I'm excited for colors both bright and pastel -- and today is the perfect time to implement them into your wardrobe. Here are a few colorful favorites I have my eye on.

In other news, A Southern Style officially has its own domain! You can now find it at www.asouthernstyleblog.com. (And thanks to Elise over at Cheers, Y'all for the help!) I'm excited for this step as well as some other changes that are underway -- stay tuned for a new design, new partnerships, and more! It's a new season for this blog, too, and I can't wait to see what's in store!
As with fashion, there are always waves of nail trends, both crazy and subdued. 
Girls (and some guys, I suppose!), try out the newest manicures of the season. 

Check out some of this season's top nail trends!

Two-Faced: The two-tone manicure has proven to be a nail favorite this year. Though this one is similar to a french mani, only with color, the design of the two tone varies!

Danger Zone: Manicures similar to Fergie's pointed "dagger" nail has been quite popular this season, though I'm not the biggest fan.

Crazy for Color: Reds and pinks are often popular choices for nails, but this year, crazy, bold colors are definitely on the nail scene. Mila Jovovich chose navy nails to accent her ensemble. Other popular polish colors include oranges, yellows, and teals.



Nearly Nude: What's my go-to? I am OBSESSED with OPI's Bubble Bath. I love shellac, and the Bubble Bath shellac mani couldn't get any better. It's neutral and goes with almost anything! Some may say boring, but I say perfect. And -- it's great for a bride on her wedding day!

I'm not the only one that likes the nude mani. Nicole Kidman rocked a similar one at the Cannes Film Festival. 


With pointy, bedazzled nails as popular choices for manicures, who knows what kind of crazy nail choices we'll see!

What are your favorite nail trends?

When I first started college, I was in the interior design program at my school. The art classes weren't for me, so I switched out of it (I wish I hadn't!) but I still have quite the passion for interior design and decorating. Pinterest has only encouraged my obsession. I am constantly perusing the home and decor sections for inspiration and can't wait until I begin decorating my own home.

In recent months, I have really found that I love coral -- by itself, combined with another color or neutral; it doesn't really matter. I came across this bedroom the other day and I absolutely love it. It would make the for the perfect guest room -- or even my own room. I love the cushioned headboard and the way the color stands out against the gray wall. I also like the stark contrast of the white bedding. I have found that I really like white bedding (even though it is hard to keep clean!).


deep grey and coral; so pretty.

Here is another great use of the color. The frames add a lot of color to the neutral wall, accented by both the bench and the light blue dresser. The two colors are an inviting and fun combination.

During my trip to New York City over Thanksgiving, we stopped in the Kate Spade store and I fell in love with these brightly colored small square studs. I have worn them quite a few times since I got them, and they add a great pop of color to any outfit!



These earrings are greatly priced, so they make a perfect last-minute gift! They come in several colors -- and several great neons that are a great way to liven up your winter wardrobe.
