5 Bold Spring Fashion Trends to Try in 2023

Filed under: Mom Life · April 23, 2023

Spring is in full bloom and it’s time to switch up your wardrobe with some fresh and bold fashion choices. Whether you’re looking to make a statement or simply want to enhance your style game, these 5 bold spring fashion trends are worth trying right now. From vibrant colors to utility chic, this post will inspire you to incorporate these trends into your wardrobe and elevate your closet. So, get ready to stand out from the crowd and embrace your unique style with these 5 bold spring fashion trends.

Vivid Colors

One of the best ways to add some boldness to your spring wardrobe is through vivid colors. Spring is all about embracing the vibrancy of nature, so why not reflect that in your clothing choices? Think beyond the usual pastels and incorporate brighter shades of pinks, greens, yellows, blues, and oranges. These bold hues are perfect for creating a statement look or adding a pop of color to your outfit.

When it comes to incorporating vivid colors, you don’t have to go all out. Start small by adding a bright accessory like a scarf, handbag, or statement earrings. You can opt for a colorful top or bottom and pair it with neutral pieces to balance out the look. If you’re feeling bold, go for a monochromatic outfit featuring your favorite vivid color.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with color combinations either. A bright pink top paired with green pants or a yellow skirt paired with a blue blouse can create a surprisingly chic and visually striking look. Overall, incorporating vivid colors into your spring wardrobe is an easy and fun way to spice up your style.

Now, let’s shift our attention to another bold trend for this spring: statement sleeves.

Statement Sleeves

Another trend that’s making a bold statement this season is statement sleeves. Whether it’s ruffled, asymmetrical or balloon-shaped, sleeves are taking center stage and adding a touch of spice to any outfit. Not only do statement sleeves add interest to your look, but they can also be a practical choice for transitional weather when you need a bit of coverage but don’t want to wear a jacket.

To make a statement with your sleeves, opt for bold colors, fun patterns, or intricate detailing. Try a blouse with oversized bell sleeves paired with skinny jeans and ankle boots for a chic and effortless look. Or go for a dress with puffed sleeves and a cinched waist for a feminine and flattering silhouette. The options are endless, so don’t be afraid to experiment and find a style that works for you.

If you’re feeling daring, try mixing statement sleeves with another bold trend of the season: mismatched prints. By sticking to a similar color scheme or choosing prints that complement each other, you can create a fashion-forward look that’s both playful and chic. Keep your accessories simple and let your statement sleeves and prints do the talking.

Mismatched Prints

If you’re looking to take your fashion game up a notch this season, why not try mixing prints? One way to really make a statement is to pair bold prints in different patterns and colors. While it may seem daunting at first, the trick is to stick to a similar color scheme or choose prints that complement each other. 

Pairing statement sleeves with mismatched prints is a particularly daring and fashion-forward look. So, if you’re feeling bold, try experimenting with mixing prints and patterns. Just remember to keep your accessories simple to avoid going overboard. 

Another bold trend to try this season is adding neon accents to your wardrobe.  Whether you’re looking to go all out with a full neon outfit or just add a pop of color with accessories, incorporating neon into your spring wardrobe is sure to turn heads.,

Neon Accents

Another bold trend to try this season is adding neon accents to your wardrobe. Neon colors are everywhere this season, from bright greens and pinks to eye-catching yellows and oranges. Whether you’re looking to go all out with a full neon outfit or just add a pop of color with accessories, incorporating neon into your spring wardrobe is sure to turn heads. To make the trend work for you, start small with a neon bag or shoes, or try a neon top to add a pop of color to a neutral outfit.

Pairing neon accents with the utility trend is a particularly daring and fashion-forward look. Utility chic is all about combining practicality with fashion, and adding a splash of neon can take your look to the next level. Try pairing a neon green belt with a khaki jumpsuit or add some bright neon sneakers to a practical cargo pant look.

Utility Chic

If you’re looking for a practical yet fashionable trend to try this spring, look no further than utility chic. Combining military-inspired clothing with functional pieces, the utility trend is all about blending style with practicality. Think cargo pants, jumpsuits, and oversized pockets.

To take your utility chic look to the next level, consider adding a pop of neon color. Neon shades are huge this season, and they pair surprisingly well with utilitarian pieces. Try a neon yellow belt with a khaki jumpsuit or neon green sneakers with cargo pants.

When incorporating neon into your utility chic outfit, keep the rest of your look subdued. Too much neon can be overwhelming, so stick to one statement piece and balance it out with more neutral pieces.

Whether you’re going for a bold neon look or a more understated one, utility chic is a trend that’s worth trying this season. So, get ready to mix and match your favorite utilitarian pieces with eye-catching neon accents for a chic and practical look.,

Incorporating these five bold spring fashion trends into your wardrobe will undoubtedly take your style game to new heights. From vivid colors to utility chic, each trend has the power to make a statement and give you the confidence to conquer anything. So why wait? Embrace these trends and show the world your unique fashion sense. As fashion icon Iris Apfel once said, “Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It’s not about brands. It’s about something else that comes from within you.” So go ahead and let your inner fashionista shine – try one of these trends today!

How to support the Movement!

Filed under: Mom Life · June 6, 2020

The past week or perhaps I should say year has been extremely overwhelming for most of us. For the first time in our lifetimes we have experienced a global pandemic, lockdown and now the awakening of what the Black Lives Matter movement is all about in one month. Yes it is an awakening to most of you but it is what we have lived through every single day of our lives. 

I have received so many private messages, calls and texts over the past week from my White American and Latino friends asking how to get involved. We all have a role to fill and it is not going to change overnight. After a very powerful multi-ethnic Zoom call on Wednesday night with my friend Galia, I know in my heart that change is coming.  It is going to take strong women and yes I will say it again women like you to step up, call out and reach out for change. It starts in our hearts, homes and in our communities. 

Here are a few ideas if you don’t know where to start. 

  1. Call out your family and friends when they are participating in racist behaviors.
  2. Support Black owned businesses.
  3. Volunteer in Black communities.
  4. Donate to charities that support the cause.
  5. Complete the 21 Day Challenge by Debbie Irving

How to De-stress during the Holidays!

Filed under: Mom Life · December 13, 2018

I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off for quite sometime now (#momof3) but with the holidays here it has been multiplied times 5. I was ripping and running and actually making myself sick. I started feeling super irritated, anxious, tired and quite frankly just bothered. My husband and I went to dinner with one of our favorite couples and the wife expressed to me how hard it was for her when their kids were young. She said that she was always moody and tired and didn’t want to be bothered half of the time. Now that they are all grown up she can relax a little and do what she wants to do. (When the grandkids aren’t around lol) I know you Mommas can relate!

After we dropped them off at their hotel, I realized that I had a gift card to the Mandarin Oriental Spa from Mother’s Day that I had not used. It was just sitting in my wallet for like 5 months. That is how hectic things have been. As soon as I woke up on Monday morning I called the Spa and set up my appointment for the next day. I knew that if I pushed it to the following week something would come up and I would have to postpone it cause thats what moms do. Am I right?

I made my appointment during school hours of course. I planned the day perfectly. If I dropped the kids off at 8:30, I could be to the Spa by 9:30 and be out by 1:30. Well things were going as planned when I got a call from my daughter begging me to bring her timeline that she left in the office. So my relaxing day turned into rushing from one school to another then sitting in traffic to get to Brickell. But, once I arrived at the hotel at 9:45 the ambiance took over and I felt a sense of peace all over me. This was my day and for the next 5 hours I was going to chill. Yes, I was there for 5 hours. I had a 90 minute massage, facial, manicure and pedicure and it was amazing. The hotel staff made my day. So if you are a little burnt out and looking for a little me time here are a few ideas to destress during the holidays. Cause if Momma ain’t happy, nobody is happy.

10 Ways to De-stress 

  1. Spa Day
  2. 24 hour Staycation at your favorite hotel
  3. Dinner for 1 at your favorite restaurant
  4. Get a massage
  5. Buy yourself something that you usually wouldn’t buy (Tom Ford, lol)
  6. Go for a long walk
  7. Candle lit bubble bath
  8. Go to a yoga/meditation class
  9. Dance
  10. Volunteer

December Lovin’

Filed under: Fashion · December 7, 2018

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! But it is also one of the most overwhelming times. The school events, office parties, deadlines, sports tournaments, shopping and trying to just stay calm.  While you are out and about prepping and celebrating the season, don’t forget to treat yourself as well.  Here are some of my favorite things this month. I think that you deserve to indulge in some goodies for YOU too! 

Brand I am Loving: AG Denim. These jeans fit amazing. I love the stretch and shhhh don’t tell anyone I have like 5 pairs. It’s a splurge but they last for years. Unless you gain or lose weight. Side note I have done both over the past two years so that explains why I have so many. LOL! Nordstrom or Bloomies keeps them in stock. 

 

My new make up fave is Becca Skin Love weightless blur foundation. This stuff is magic. I was so hesitant about trying a new foundation after using the same one for 6 years but I am hooked. My skin looks better with and without the makeup because it is rich in vitamin C, ginger and avocado. Go get some at Sephora!

 

If you are always on the go like me then yes you know why my go to shoes are the Adidas Boost. These sneakers are light, comfy and perfect for working out or running errands. I usually get about 10,000 steps a day just from chasing these kids, so comfort is my main priority. Try any Adidas Store or Adidas.com

 

 

 

My must have accessory is a black purse. Lately, I am always carrying my Marc Jacobs backpack. With three kids and all of our essentials (sanitizer, headphones, Tylenol, water bottles, bandaids) …. well you get it. I just throw it in the bag and keep it moving. Any fine department store carries Marc Jacobs but I got mine at Nordstrom.com 

 

 

 

I am a social media junkie. My Instagram Crush is @DaynaBolden! This momma is fly, chic, and fabulous. She’s a lifestyle blogger based out of Baltimore, Maryland but she is always traveling around the world. I am like living through her right now. She’s a true supermom who does it all but believes that teamwork makes the dream work. I literally love everything about her but the best thing is that she keeps it real. (And she thrifts!) By the way,  please follow me too @SportyMommas. So there you have it. I hope that you treat yourself and have a safe holiday season.

Tea Party, Anyone?

Filed under: Mom Life · September 6, 2018

My mom squad loves to celebrate our birthdays over lunch, drinks, laughs and gifts of course.  We are always trying out new restaurants and spas around Miami and last week we headed to Serendip-a-tea in Kendall. Serendip-a-tea is a super cute tea house full of trendy art and yes, amazing teas. I was pleasantly surprised with the menu and all of the varieties of teas and delicious treats. Iliana, one of the founders explained the menu and gave us a mini lesson on teas. Besides the wonderful atmosphere, the prices are very reasonable. We had a great time catching up from the summer and meeting the newest addition to the squad. (Baby Dash) If you are looking for a cute place to host an event, a meeting, celebrate a birthday or simply want to try a chic place, stop by Serendip-a-tea!

Just Bee Queen

Filed under: Fashion · August 10, 2018

I had an amazing time in Aruba with my hubby last week. (More pictures and vacation tips coming soon) But while we were there I got to wear one of my favorite new skirts. This tulum skirt from “Just Bee Queen” was a head turning, show stopper, had people whispering as I walked by type of piece. I love it because it is unique, custom fitted to my curves and one of a kind. The fabric was handpicked by designer and owner Maria Strauss. She loves traveling all over the world finding unique fabrics and inspiration.

 

 

The best part about this piece was that I wore it on a catamaran cruise and to dinner at BLT Steakhouse at the Ritz Carlton and it was so chic. Just Bee Queen is known for their one of a kind up cycled sustainable clothing. Maria believes in empowering women through fashion. You can customize your Tulum skirt in your favorite color combinations. It usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on the size of the order. I also love her one of a kind military jackets. I always travel with mine. Learn more about this fabulous woman owned business at justbeequeen.com!

 

 

Just Bee KIND to the environment.- Upcycle/Recycle!

Just Bee STRONG with your resolutions – Stand up for what is Right!

Just Bee YOU – Because you are Unique!

Summer Bum Bum

Filed under: Fashion · July 31, 2018

Have you ever browsed through a magazine and thought to yourself hey maybe I should try that? Yeah, of course you have. That’s why they sell magazines. Well last week I was looking through InStyle and saw some of the celebrities favorite summer items and I saw the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. It looked familiar but I never had much interest in it. The packaging was bright and eye-catching and she raved about it so I took a mental note of it. (Especially planning for my next beach vacay.) Hey at 40 I am willing to try anything to smooth out this skin.

 

A few days later I stopped by Sephora to pick up some lipgloss and a facial mask.  You know how they have all of those travel size items in the line looping around until you reach the cash register? They really know what they are doing cause nine times out of ten I usually buy something that I wasn’t looking for. As I was patiently waiting in line I saw a travel size Bum Bum cream!!! Ok it’s a sign, I have to try it! Ok, I didn’t have to buy it but it was calling my name.

 

 

When I got home I decided to look more into it before I used it on my bum. I realized that this famous skin tightener has been around for a few years and gets great reviews. I opened the jar and it smelled amazing. Like Jamaica in a bottle. So far I have only been using it for three days. I love the way my skin feels right after I apply it. It gives it a sun kissed glow. I am not sure what my personal results will be but I will definitely keep you ladies posted. I know one thing I will be using it daily for the next 30 days praying for a miracle. So, have you ever tried it? What did you think?

Ballin’

Filed under: Mom Life · June 3, 2018

Being a mom of three is so much fun but a lot of work. I find myself always trying to make sure that all three feel equally loved, special …..and you know all of that mom stuff. Am I spending enough time with them? Do they need anything that I am not providing? Do they feel left out? Well my son is the middle child and most moms or middle children know how that goes. I am the oldest so I had no clue. Not only is he the middle child, he has a late summer birthday so that means that he rarely gets to celebrate with his friends. Most of them travel or go to sleep away camp so his parties consisted of family gatherings and trips to Disney World.

Well this year he turns 10 (yes double digits) and we wanted to celebrate him. He is an amazing kid with a huge heart. He loves basketball, video games and MJ (that’s Michael Jackson btw) He never really asks for much but I thought it would be awesome if we went all out for him. And boy did we!!!  There was a video game truck, 2 cakes, 36 cupcakes, chicken kitchen build your own chop, pizza, popscicles, candy, popcorn, hover boards, football, basketball games and about 25 boys running around. There was so much food leftover because the boys just wanted to play. It was so great to see him having fun with all of his friends.

@soler_lina

 

Since everyone loved the custom basketball table that my friend Monica Pardo suggested that I rent, I figured that I would share the details on it. Monica helped me as a favor with locating all of the decorations and extras but I highly recommend that you hire a party planner. I ran around so much the day of the party that by 6 p.m. I had a headache and literally thought that I was going to pass out. If you can’t hire a planner, Pinterest and google are your best friends. I saw so many cute ideas once I plugged in the basketball theme. Oh and don’t be afraid to ask a friend to help you. Usually my mom is around to help me set up but she was out of town all week. I begged one of my mommy friends to come help me set the tables.  Thanks Cheri!! And a special shout out to my hubby who let me do my thing and did all of the heavy lifting!!!

Sporty Momma’s Charitable Fund

Filed under: News & Events · December 5, 2016

On Friday, December 2, we had the privilege to take a tour of the Jackson Health Breast Cancer Treatment Center. It was so nice to meet some of the nurses and doctors who work so hard to treat women who have been affected by breast cancer. We learned that they see up to 100 ladies per day. After a tour, we presented a check that will go towards purchasing a blanket warmer. This warmer will help keep the women warm and comfortable during their treatments. We are so blessed and thankful that we can contribute to this center. Thank you to all of you that came out to our 4th annual bowling bash. It takes teamwork to make the dream work!

Come along with me to my Figurella session! Figurella is a unique weight loss program that helps boost your metabolism, lose weight, detox and  tone. It has been around for over 30 years! I love that it is low impact but burns calories! One 30 minute workout in the bubble is equivalent to an hour  and a half in a regular gym. This is because of the unique temperature control technology! 

Since joining Figurella not only have I dropped ten pounds but I have lost over 6 inches and I feel like my old self again! 

So if you are looking to get into your best shape head over to Figurella Pinecrest and tell them that Sporty Mommas sent you! @figurellapinecrest

Two months ago I decided that I wanted a change. I was tired of how my clothes were fitting and I just didn’t feel good about myself. So I knew it was time to try something different. I decided to invest in my health and wellness. As moms we do so much for everyone else but we don’t always do the same for ourselves. I’m so close to my goal of losing ten pounds (like a pound away 😂) and I’m so proud that I stuck with it! 

Here is your sign to invest in YOU and not feel guilty about it! Whether it’s a personal trainer, life coach, therapist or meal plan do whatever you need to do to be your best self!!!
