Five Spring Trends

Five Spring Trends

Spring has technically arrived! Even though some of the country is still enduring the harsh reality of Winter, we have our eyes on sunshine and flowers. While Fall may be our favorite season to shop ( we can never have too many boots), Spring is *very* fun. We have spent some time perusing the blogosphere and picked five trends that we are excited to participate in. What are your favorite Spring fashion trends?

1. Stripes –

It seems like stripes reemerge as trendy every few years. We can’t deny – we jump on the stripes train every time since they never *really* go out of style. Stripes all suite a variety of fabrics AND body types. We tend to prefer bolder rugby-type stripes, the options abound. They add a stylish simplicity to a wardrobe. Pop on a great pair of jeans, cute flats, a striped tee (black and white), and some lipstick – voila! Selections below via Old Navy.

Old Navy Stripes

2. Pastels –

We know this may seem like a cop out, but we couldn’t not include it. Pastels are popping up everywhere – from tees to sweaters and dresses to eye shadow. Pastels are a very pretty fashion statement that is perfect for the warmer Spring months. While we love all the fun pastel clothing options, sometimes our messiness makes light hues a bit trickier. Perfect solution: nail polish! In a perfect world we would snag 5 beautiful pastel polishes and paint each finger a different color. Crazy? Maybe. But nails seem like the perfect place with a bit more exciting fashion statements. Selections below via Sephora.

3. Floral –

Another obvious choice. but florals are having a moment. We have been seeing floral shirts, tees, jeans, skirts, dresses, and more. Nothing screams Spring more than a beautiful floral item. The pieces we have selected are very much seasonal – and priced accordingly. You won’t find us suggesting floral investment pieces from Forever 21, however, while the sun is shining we would encourage you to have fun with your wardrobe however you see fit. Want some more versatile florals? Try and stick to a black and white color scheme – those will be suitable all year ’round. Selections below via Forever 21.

4. Distressed Denim –

we waver a lot on this trend, but we can’t give you a credible list without including it. Distressed denim seems to be making a bit of a comeback and we are having mixed feelings about it. On one hand it can look super rockstar cool. On the other hand, when styled improperly, it can look messy and poorly put together. Luckily the reemergence of this trend is giving us a lot of different options – from different washes to variety in distressing. With a great selection we think everyone could find the right level of distress for their taste. Selections via Nordstrom.

Distressed Denim

5. Bold Pouts –

We know we blog about it all the time, but a pretty pout just screams Spring. We are seeing fashion and beauty bloggers putting away those bold plums and reds for violets and pinks. We love bold lips for a few reasons. First of all – if you have anything on your face that isn’t your favorite (for us it is dark circles under our eyes) they are an immediate distraction. Second – pops of color create visual interest, creating the illusion that a possibly bland outfit is much more exciting. Selections below via Sephora.

Fashion on a Budget: LabWorks at Target

With New York Fashion week on the tips of everyone’s tongue we have been looking closely at great design on a budget. While they are known for their designer collabs, Target has another fashion line that deserves some attention. It’s called labWorks. They offer great pieces at very low prices. Their items have a more ‘designed’ look and could compliment any wardrobe.

Lab Works Target

 

One of our favorite trends that labworks/Target are full embracing is black and white. Their selection of neutral pieces is making us swoon just a bit. Right now you can earn 2.5% Cash Back on all these items. Don’t they look comfortable?

Biggest Designer Collab of the Year (So Far) with Cash Back!

Biggest Designer Collab of the Year (So Far) with Cash Back!

Have you ever shopped Target‘s designer collaborations? From Missoni to Phillip Lim, Target has been able to work with a variety of very established names in the fashion world to bring customers great designs at budget-friendly prices. This latest collaboration is the brainchild of British designer Peter Pilotto. It’s a bold statement for Spring.

This latest collab. goes on sale this coming Sunday. If history is any indicator, budget-savvy fashionistas will be lining up at the brick and mortar stores. Ebates customers can shop the sale online, avoid, the crowds, and earn 2.5% Cash Back on their purchase. We have our eyes on the black and white geometric sneakers. Which items are your favorite?

Trendy Items on a Budget: Forever 21

Here at Ebates we are all about shopping on a budget. Obviously. When it comes to women’s clothing it sometimes seems impossible to stay on budget and enjoy some of the more fun trends populating our 1700+ stores. Seriously, who has the funds for that? One of our favorite places to snag some super trendy pieces on a budget is a new addition to Ebates – Forever21. While the quality may not be the same as a Macy’s or Nordstrom, the trendiest pieces may not be something you want to wear in the long term. While the country stays bundled up avoiding the Winter blues, we are eyeing some great Spring trends at F21:

F21DRESSES

 

Their dress selection is great – sundresses are versatile an comfortable. They have some boho looks, some geometric looks, some ombre dresses, and a handful of classic items.

F21JACKETS

 

Learning to layer is a great goal. One of the most important wardrobe items is great outerwear. Forever 21‘s great prices make building an eclectic and versatile outerwear collection a viable option for someone on a tighter budget.  From a play on denim jackets to leather-look sleeves, their collection is trendy and seasonal.

F21Necklaces

 

Baubles, baubles, baubles! Forever 21 has a VAST selection of statement necklaces. They do have many more delicate and simple options, but when it comes to getting more bang for your buck, the trendy choices are nearly overwhelmingly tempting.

F21PANTS

Forever 21 does offer a great selection of basic jeans, but they also have some very trendy and fun choices like chambray harem pants and tuxedo stripes. Remember – you aren’t paying for quality, but you will get to participate in any and every trend you want.

F21SHOES

 

Forever 21 did recently launch a line of leather shoes – running at about $60 each, they could be amazing quality, but is that worth risking discomfort? Buying shoes online is always tricky. but our team decided to try it out and order a pair, because, hey – $60 leather shoes could just be amazing. Don’t miss out on 2.0% Cash Back on your trendy buys at Forever 21!

 

Ebates Fall Fashion Guide

Boots, scarves, sweaters, oh my!

With NYFW in full swing, the Ebates team is sharing their favorite fall fashion trends. We have an excellent Double Cash Back sale featuring amazing deals at fashion forward stores so that you can have a fashionable fall without breaking the bank.

Below are some of our favorite trends that we are looking forward to enjoying through the colder months.

embellishedboots_2

 

Add a little sparkle to your step with some embellished boots. These natural boots have the tinniest cap toe – adding the perfect embellishment to carry these boots from daytime to night. The studs on these boots scream rocker chic and can add a fun edginess to any outfit. These sleek black booties are the epitome of city chic – smooth leather, great sole, shiny detail. These trendy boots bring the embellishment to a whole new place – part of the heel. With unique details like that, these will surely turn heads.

graphics_2

 

We can all rejoice that comfort appears to be in season, but with a fun twist. Graphic tees and sweatshirts appear to be having a fashionable moment. This flirtatious shirt would look awesome with a variety or pants and skirts. Throw a white button down or chambray shirt under this foxy sweater – instant preppy chic! Pair this ferocious tee with a statement necklace and black skinny jeans for a polished, rockin look. This versatile tiger sweater can be styled in any of the aforementioned way for a look that is trendy and classic.

leatheraccents

 

One of the trends that we are most excited about is leather or faux leather accents. They add an element of surprise to classic shapes and pieces. This jacket combines two classic coat fabrics, leather and denim, to make one amazing piece of outerwear. This blouse is full of beautiful contradictions – preppy tweed meets rocking leather. This gray vegan option takes colorblocking to a new level. A striped boyfriend cardigan gets taken to a whole new level with leather sleaves.

military_2

 

Another trend we are loving is military inspired. Not just camouflage printed items, but all sorts of military inspired cuts are gracing the storefronts this season. The shoulders of this blouse give a subtle military feel. This blouse is much more bold in its inspiration. It surely will make a statement paired with neutral pieces. This Old Navy coat brings some military inspired colors and shapes at a great price. This vest would make an awesome layering piece as the season changes.

sneakers_2

These high top embellished kicks create a great contrast between glam and comfort. The neutral colors make them easy to pair. They may be a bit flashy, but the gold+red accents give these sneakers a rose gold look, a unique hue. These high top denim sneakers are super versatile – easily pair them with black jeans, light jeans, skirts or dresses. In one of the Fall’s hottest hues, these burgundy sneakers have some great bling contrasting laces.

 

olive_2

 

While it overlaps with the military inspired pieces, olive seems to warrant a mention of its own. The dark green color scream cool and chic. This studded sweater is a great statement piece. This colorblock coat is as chic as it comes – the olive is holding its own next to the black and gray. Commit to olive with this comfortable and classic shirtdress.  Olive makes for a great alternative to other neutrals when it comes to booties.
