Spring Style Black and White Fashion Look

I am a fan of dressing in black and white because it has a classy look that is always in fashion.

Black is a must-have color in my closet and I like to coordinate black tops, bottoms, and dresses it with a variety of colors. This year I designed some basic black and white accessories that have been accented with the color red. These three colors work very well together. The red color gives the black and white a pop of color that looks fabulous.

Here is my spring-style black and white textile design.

The design features a black and white stripe with a border of red tulips. The spring style accessories. tote bag, minx nail covers, and slip-on sneakers (see below) are perfect for this black outfit. I would suggest that you wear Minx red tulip nail covers or red nail polish and of course, red lipstick to complete the fashion look.

Wear this spring-style fashion outfit for everyday events, such as shopping, going to lunch, running errands, or for a casual date or lunch meet-up.

Here are the products from the spring style fashion set (shown above)

Minx Nail Wraps Review

Accessorize your fashion look with Minx's nail wraps. Wear the wrap with polish, under acrylic, or on your natural nails. Minx's nails are a great way to get extra shine and style while protecting your nails from drying out, becoming brittle, or being stained.

I like that I can wear a flexible polymer film nail wrap without the application of acrylic gel or nail polish and that my nails will be protected from breakage and splitting. I also liked that the application only needed heat from my hair dryer to shrink the wraps.

However, even though the benefits of wearing nail wraps were positive I was hesitant because I thought they would be difficult to apply to my nails.

I mentioned my concern to one of my friends and she told me that she loved the Minx nail wraps. Said wearing them made her fingers and toes look fashionable and that I should watch the how-to video a few times. She assured me that there was no reason to go to a manicurist. Even if I made a mistake I could reheat the film with my hairdryer and reapply to my nail until I perfected the application.

Know that it is a little tricky putting the wraps on your nails but once you do it a few times you are an expert. Learn how to Minx with co-founder, Janice Jordan and bring fashion to your fingertips

I love Minx nail wraps because they are fashion looks for my fingers and the prints will coordinate with my painted toes.

Coordinate the nail color or pattern to go with your bridesmaid dresses or wear the nail wraps for a holiday or other special occasion.

Rooster Decor for Kitchen and Home

When it comes to decorating my kitchen and den I like to accent with farm animals, primarily chickens, and roosters. Maybe it is because I live in a farming area and this is why I like chickens. All I know is that my family and friends always tell me that they like my hen and rooster home accents.

Overall I think farm animal décor is welcoming and comforting. Of course not any rooster or chicken accessory will do. I prefer products that are vintage and in good taste. I also like rooster silhouette fabric for craft products. It is fun to make your own pillows, drapes, placemats, table runners and picture frame covers.

Many people decorate with roosters and chicken products all year round. I am not one of those people. I tend to add rooster products to my kitchen and living room in the spring and throughout the summer months. Then put them away in the fall and winter seasons.

I love the Fritz and Floyd vintage French country rooster. The rustic charm is very appealing to me, I think the hand-painted roosters in pastel colors look best displayed in the kitchen on top of the refrigerator or on a baker's rack. I like to put collectible figurines up high up so the children and my dogs don’t break them.

This rooster figurine would look lovely displayed on a buffet or an end table.

If you love farm animal figurines and collectibles then I would recommend shopping online at Amazon or eBay. For other products such as pillows, fabric, kitchen mugs, and placemats, teapots you should check out my online finds below.
