What better time than spring to break out a bright matte lip? I'm currently coveting a vibrant orange-red thanks to these backstage shots from Missoni S/S 2013.

Making a Case For The Orange Coat

The colder the weather, the harder it is to convince yourself to wear a cute outfit when all you want to do is bundle into 70 sweaters. Luckily for us, fashion bloggers post outfits daily for us to get inspired by. This blogging babe brightened up Winter by wearing an orange coat, red mock neck sweater, Levi jeans and ruby red boots. It's the perfect look. 

Get the look: 

+ Theory Merino Wool Mock Neck Sweater

+ J.Crew Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Coat

+ Monki Clean Car Coat 

+ Levi's 505 Straight Leg Jeans 

+ Dorateymur Double Delta Patent Ankle Boots

How great is this look on Zina?! Perfect for spring, summer and even fall. One of the best ways to transition a midriff-baring look into the cooler months, is by adding an oversized blazer.

NAIL CANDY

So pumped I came across Nail Common - endless nail art inspiration. Loving the asymmetrical nude base/bright tip french manicures. Not going to lie, seeing these left me with major cuticle envy. I can never seem to get mine to look so smooth and groomed. Now off to get lost in Sephora's nail section. Any cuticle care advice is appreciated!

This asymmetrical printed skirt from Neiman Marcus makes quite the statement. For fall, I thought it would be great styled with a luxe camel sweater, chic sunglasses, a simple silver watch, and a classic quilted bag. As for the shoes, rather than go with an expected pair of lace-up heels or ankle boots, I went with sleek white sneakers give the look a laid-back cool feel. Top with a bright red-orange lip, and you've got a comfy, yet chic fall look!

Often seen on Instagram in the teeniest of bikinis, supermodel Emily Ratajkowski has proven that she's more than just killer curves and sandy beaches. On a cool London night out, she was spotted bundled up in the orange fur coat of our dreams. Instead of opting for a muted shoe, she boldly mixed our favorite fall tones together with a pair of ruby red heeled boots. As for underneath, the It girl kept it simple with a black top, and a polka-dot skirt.

Mary knows what fall is all about; deep hues, luxe leathers, and rich colors. She wore a beautiful, long-line silk jacket with a crewneck t-shirt, velvet ring-detailed flats, and a suede clutch. This entire outfit speaks for the middle of fall, when the leaves are bright and it isn't totally freezing just yet. And those are both things we can appreciate.

There are looks that are cool and then there are looks that are beyond cool. Sonya Esman shows us a summer outfit idea that is the epitome of the season; bright, fun and effortless. She styled a body-hugging, yellow bustier top with a pair of low-rise, light wash denim. To complete the look she added another pop of color with her cherry red heels and spiked patterned shoulder bag. We can't stop obsessing over this outfit.
