The Ultimate Blogger Guide to Finding Your It-Girl Style Spirit Animal with eBay

Hi lovelies,

It’s Wednesday, which means I’m on the hunt for the picture perfect image to represent my choice for my “Woman Crush Wednesday” shout out on Instagram and Twitter. But the selection of super cool girls that are currently killing the game can be a bit overwhelming with each girl offering their own unique style elements that make them #wcw-worthy. 
  
Cara Delevingne’s snarky sense of humor is equally matched to her chic and effortless style while Kendall Jenner’s on-the-go outfits are always on-point. Let’s not forget about Gigi Hadid, who has the most enviable closet from NYC to LA, and Chanel Iman’s arsenal of designer, vintage, and street style pieces would make any fashionista drool with envy. 
  
Even though it was a super tough choice, I’ve decided to show some social media love to Chanel Iman for this week’s #wcw since she’s the coolest party girl that’s dominating “the scene” and is definitely my style spirit animal when it comes to being both boho-chic and stylishly sophisticated.  
  
But beyond style, these girls exude an inner confidence and intelligence that elevates them to #girlboss spirit animal status. So if you’re like me, and need a little guidance in determining who’s your style spirit animal and #wcw, then check out my guide below and easily start to unleash your inner it-girl.

Sashay Down the Aisle with these Bride Trends of 2019

Hi lovelies,

Summer is fast approaching, with temperatures slowly climbing their way up. With sunny skies and warmer weather looming in the horizon, many lovebirds are busy planning for their summer nuptials. June is traditionally the most popular month to get married. This month is named after the Goddess Juno, who is seen as the protector of women, marriage, and pregnancy. As a result, even in the past, June is considered the most auspicious time to tie the knot and that still holds true to this day.

Whether you’re a bride to be who is thinking of saying your “I Dos” very soon or you simply just love staring at dreamy wedding dresses to cater to the romantic in you, then you have come to the right place. The fresh, modern, and trendy wedding dresses of Summer 2019 have been highlighted hereunder. Even if you’re thinking of the beach, a vineyard, a garden, or any outdoor set up as your ceremony venue to take advantage of the perfect weather, there is an ensemble here that would match the vibe of your chosen location. Keeping abreast of the trends ensures you can glide down the aisles without having to worry about being a fashion “I Don’t”. . 

Mini Dress
The mini dress is back in full force, which is ready to showcase your gorgeous long legs. You could be looking for a shorter dress for your reception, or perhaps, you want to be avant-garde, throw out the rule book, and set yourself apart from everyone else with a cutting-edge shorter hemline. Whatever your reason, going above the knee merely means you can proudly show off your cute wedding shows that you splurged on. These mini dresses are certainly party ready because they come with all sorts of embellishments and luscious details. You can also settle for a traditional, simple white shift dress. The silk white Gucci sleeveless dress with its clean, classic lines available on The RealReal site would certainly fit the simple, yet stunning wedding mini dress bill. There are also perfect Gucci stilettos to match on there. With The RealReal, luxury fashion doesn’t have to break the bank. 

Glittery Sparkles
Sparkly stunners are a trend this season where shining, shimmering splendid garments serve to highlight the stunning bride. Every bride already has an internal glow, but metallic embellishments, sequins, and other glittering appliqués are seen on many bridal dresses. Choosing this style means all eyes will certainly be on her with these eye catching details…as it should be. The bride is the focal point of any wedding. Head-to-toe glittery and sparkly looks can be seen in these designers such as Inbal Dror, Berta, or Theia. Even for shoes, these sparkly golden leather Louis Vuitton caged wedges with woven straps, stacked heels, and zip closures follow the trend Available at The RealReal, these Louis Vuitton kicks would make Cinderella proud and would serve to match any glittering dress you choose.

Bridal Cape
Say what? A cape like the cape crusaders! This bridal trend screams modern and classic all at the same time. Bridal capes were a thing in the Victorian period, adorning the shoulders of the royalty and nobility, and now, they are making a modern come back. These bridal capes look better than ever and would look elegant on any bride. The cape can act as an extension of the veil, sheer, opaque, and super flowing, cascading like a waterfall as the bride walks down the aisle. Now that is making a grand entrance. Check out this trend with high fashion designers like Vera Wang and Carolina Herrera.

Say it with Flowers
Flowers take over the runway, with their pretty and enchanting presence screaming femininity and romance. These pretty little things are used to embellish wedding gowns. Some are embroidered directly on the gowns. Other styles are appliqués that adorn the wedding gowns. And some, they choose a large signature piece to highlight one part of the body. Even some veils were highlighted with this lovely wedding trend. Check out brands like Mira Zwillinger or Lela Rose to see more of this flower power.

Simplicity is KeyLast but not the least, the simple vibe conquers the trends. The super simple boat-neck gown of her royal highness Meghan Markle sparked this simple and minimalist wedding style. Similarly, her high-neck halter style dress at the reception exuded the same vibe. This season, there are many simple yet sleek wedding dress options to choose from. A radiant bride’s best asset is her glowing face and this will certainly stand out more in your chosen minimalist gown. Check out clean chic lines with designer like Monique Lluhillier

Top 5 Bridal Trends for Summer 2019

Hi lovelies,

The international runways are providing the spring 2019 bride with a wide variety of styles to work with. Think dramatic and opulent styles. The bride is more romantic and less bohemian than in the past. In spring 2019, old is new again as everything else in the fashion industry. Expect to see embellishments, more color, and statement details that will have people talking. 

Versailles Overload 
It looks like regal fashion is in thanks to The Duchess of Sussex and York. Or, it could be a reaction to fashion's casual and normcore styles as of late. Nonetheless, expect to see confection-like skirts, ruffles, and exaggerated sleeves on wedding gowns. The 2019 Bridal and Couture show went back to yesteryear with large pleated ruffles, Victorian-inspired sleeves, and ultra-high necklines. 

Whether you're having a church wedding or an ultra-romantic nighttime event, you'll want to channel your inner Marie Antoinette. The latest fashion showings from Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang, Viktor & Rolf Bridal, and Valentino Haute Couture have proved that all things royal are in for spring 2019. 

Old Hollywood Glam
Boho bridal dresses are slowly on their way out. Designers are focusing on old Hollywood glam once again. Expect to see embellishments, layered skirts, and ruffles. Most of them have pushed it to the limits with wedding dresses that feature feathers, plume, and plush details.

When it comes to old Hollywood glamour, understated is not an option. What may have felt over-the-top or try-hard in past seasons is now in for spring 2019. These feathered wedding dresses feel like something from the roaring 20s. When wearing one of these dresses, style your hair edgy, ethereal, or minimal to avoid looking like a character from The Great Gatsby. 

Statement Sleeves 
The spring 2019 wedding dresses from Chanel Haute Couture, Galia Lahav Bridal, Rodarte, Oscar de la Renta, and Vera Wang Bride looked like something out of an episode of Dynasty. Bridal sleeves are coming back in a big way. Most of them looked like they originated in the early 80s. Whether it's a detachable sleeve, puffed sleeve, or raglan sleeve, there are a wide variety of options. 

Brides aren't wearing sleeves to cover-up their arms. They're wearing them for that added interest and appeal. Draped and structural sleeves draw the entire to the rest of the look. For an instant wow-factor, opt for detachable poufy sleeves. Wear them for your big walk down the aisle, and then rip them off before you dance the night away. 

Haunting Wedding Dresses
There was a particularly haunting wedding dress that captivated everyone at the Gucci Cruise 2012 show. On the catwalk in Alyscamps, Arles was a bride dressed in something that looked as if it came from the 18th century. Her dress was paired with a Gucci crucifix necklace similar to this one from the RealReal but in black. This bridal look was clearly taken from the past for future inspiration. It'll be interesting to see if future brides will be jumping on this haunting trend. 

Art on Steroids
The Louis Vuitton Cruise 2019 show featured funky designs, iconographic accessories, and mismatched looks from Nicolas Ghesquiere's most shocking collection yet. This fashion show took place in the glorious Louvre museum. He played along with the art theme for his cruise showing on Monday, May 27. Among the haunting live soundtrack were models dressed up in quirky looks that featured curved lapels and spliced sleeves and were paired with thigh-high leather boots with chunky heels similar to the 2019 Archlight Leather Boots from The RealReal. 

There were also a wide variety of puff-sleeved dresses, similar to the Gucci Cruise show. The Louis Vuitton show didn't show any ghostly wedding dresses. Instead, Ghesquiere's main focus was bringing out each of the model's personalities. It was a perfect combination of his signature looks paired with novelties that the fashion industry thrives on.
