My little ladies have some major heads of hair (special thanks to my mother).  And while my oldest is quite the tomboy, she still just loves her long hair and absolutely refuses part ways with it--making detangling and styling "such" a joy!  My little one, is a girly girl through and through and loves her spunky little bob.  Regardless of their styles, they both love having their hair dolled up a bit and off of their faces and quite frankly, so does mom.  Here's the kicker though, I'm always hard pressed to find head bands that don't bother the backs of their ears and stay in place or barrettes that actually hold their hair back all while still being cute.  Enter Remington.  When I tell you it's somewhat miraculous when all three of us agree on both a style and comfort level, I'm certainly not lying!  Big stuff felt comfy as can be and absolutely loved the feel and design of her headband..didn't hurt that it was her favorite color as well.  And little miss, well as I'm sure you can tell by the pictures, she felt footloose and fancy free in her polka dot barrettes.  No fidgeting, hair in the face, or messy manes equals a very very happy mom and smiles all the way around!

 #1- South Beach swimsuit- Savasana Grey Bikini

 
I jumped on the athletic inspired swimwear trend last summer and was glad to see that it is still in the limelight. If you are like me, you have days where you like to be active around the pool or beach.  This suit is made for swimming, playing volleyball or diving into the pool. It will stand out among the feminine cuts and the bold color blocking of the suit is always in style.

#2- Urban Outfitters- High waist swimsuit

High waist bottoms are back in again this summer. The cut can be flattering on most women and provides a great alternative to a boy-cut bikini bottom. The high waist is slimming in case you are worried about what you had for lunch or about your figure. If you haven’t already, be sure to try this retro trend.

#3- Robin Piccone- Portrait back one piece suit

I am all about modesty and usually prefer a bit more coverage when I go to the beach or pool. There have always been a fair share of one-piece suits but there are so many more high fashioned ones that are being designed.  This one piece suit by Robin Piccone is one of my favorite suits that I have ever owned am all It has a high neckline that ties around the neck and features a low scooped back. It is very flattering and is a great pick if you want something elegant and stylish.

#4- BP cage cutouts

A cutout one-piece is a great edgy and modesty, especially if you’re not ready to bare it all in a bikini. It has a wearable peekaboo effect while still being a sophisticated swimsuit choice. Pair them with a bare of flat sandals and a simple beach bag and you are ready to go.

#5-VS bandeau top

It is impossible to talk about swimsuits without mentioning Victoria’s Secret. I’m not going to mention how many swimsuits I have from them but it is probably too many.  I usually end up buying separates and pairing them with tops or bottoms that I already own.  You can mix and match so many different ways and VS almost always has some type of promotion going on so you never have to pay full price!

Hey there! My name is Ariel and I'm the face behind AUTEUR ARIEL, a fashion and lifestyle blog. I'm so excited to be guest posting on Remington Ready today!

If there is one trend that I am obsessed with this spring, it's floral kimonos! They're cute, comfy, and brighten up any outfit you wear it with! Here are three different ways you can style a floral kimono this season. If you don't own a floral kimono yet, check out these ones from PacSun and Forever 21! They've got a great variety of them--I want to buy them all!

Look #1: Boho
Floral fits in perfectly with the style of "boho-chic." I love the way the solid color of the maxi skirt compliments the floral pattern of the kimono. Many boho pieces are very flowy and loose and this kimono fits that description to a T! Also, you can never go wrong with a floral headdress when it comes to boho fashion!

Look #2: Casual
Adding a plain white tee and distressed jeans to a floral kimono definitely dresses the look down. I'm all about being comfortable when it comes to fashion and this outfit screams comfort! This outfit is perfect for going to school, hanging with friends, or simply running errands! It's effortless, but the kimono still gives the look a little pizazz.

Look #3: Dressy
You can never go wrong layering chiffon with chiffon! I'm obsessed with the way the floral kimono pops on this fancy white dress. The kimono already has a great sophisticated look, so making it look "dressy" isn't very hard! Adding a cute pair of heels and a statement necklace makes this outfit perfect for a date night or going to church--or any dressy occasion, really!

I love how versatile floral kimonos are! They are definitely an essential when it comes to your spring wardrobe. Feel free to swing by my blog, AUTEUR ARIEL, for more looks and fashion!

Spring 2014 is tropical! Vibrant oranges, pinks, and greens have been making their debuts across runways globally. We all can agree that absolutely anything tropical sounds amazing during these harsh winter months. With spring right around the corner (fingers crossed), we thought we would share some of the tropical trends that might make an appearance in your closet this year.
The patterns are where this inspiration begins. With the bright colors and floral patterns designers are using this season, the dream of relaxing on the beach can be a perpetual state of mind.

  
Next up...taking those patterns and turning them into runway looks! Of-the-moment prints will make a noticeable statement as temperatures climb. Let these powerful patterns be the focus of your outfit by pairing pieces with basic bottoms or solid print jackets.

Of course, a look isn’t complete without all the bold accessories to tie it together. This spring's styles are full of fabulous pieces for sure! The vibrant colors expressed throughout the accessories are not only trending for spring -- you’ll transition into the summer, effortlessly.

Spring is finally knocking on your door. Answer it with some fun, fresh, and colourful nails! I love spring and summer nail polish shades because there are so many different ways to wear them. A solid pastel tone or ten little artistic masterpieces bursting with brights can both work for this season!

It's that time of year when you can pull out all of your corals and mints and sport them proudly... and why not have a little fun with your fingertips at the same time? Here are a few of my favourite looks for spring:

Floral: I created this floral nail art with a simple nail art brush and shades from the upcoming China Glaze collection, fittingly called Avant Garden. Start with your base colour, add the coral flowers, then dot on some white centers and green leaves!

Fairy: Gradients and marble effects are back in full swing. You can easily recreate this look with the use of a makeup sponge and complementing colours!

Fruity: I love graphic nails like these! They are so sweet you just want to eat them up! These would be super easy to do as well with a nail brush and dotting tool

Chevron: I like this funky take on the typical chevron pattern. Add some outlines and some dots to your candy coloured polishes for an almost tribal look! Fun!

What colours are your favourites for spring? You can read more from me on my blog, Wonder Forest.
