    Influential International Style: M.I.A.

    image

    Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam broke into the music scene in 2004 and is simply impossible to forget, because of her lyrics, both catchy and intense ("All I wanna do is... BANG BANG BANG BANG"), and her unique style. M.I.A. seems to take style inspiration from all areas of her life - whether it's her love of prints coming from her past as a graphic designer, or drawing a love of dyeing techniques from her Sri Lankan decent. Her style is incredibly unique - and she puts things together the way no one else would, with a surprising mix of color, crazy textures and a great love of neon and shiny material. To get even close to M.I.A.'s signature style, you'll have to mix it up - bold bangles with loose-fitting neon shirts over shiny leggings with some bright kicks. Top it off with a hat and you're on your way. Check out my slideshow for some great ideas on how to get started incorporating M.I.A.'s look in to your personal style!

    Wearable Neon Makeup Shades, No Rave Required

    While we've thankfully moved past that '90s flashback of fluorescent clothing and accessories, it's important to note that neons haven't been banished from the planet for good -- they've just relocated to the beauty department! I know, the idea sounds terrifying, but used with the right shades and a subtle hand, bright pops of color are an emerging makeup trend that's making feminine features stand out in a feisty, fresh and modern way. While trying to shed her goody-goody Gossip Girl stereotype and make a name for herself as her punk band's frontwoman, Taylor Momsen has been spotted flaunting neon lips and smoky eyes -- but you don't have to be a rock goddess in training to pull it off. Sticking to one feature at a time, you can go with an electric blue eyeliner to make your peepers pop, or highlight your summer tan with contrasting tangerine nails, for example. Take a look at the slideshow for some wearable neon shades!

    Think PINK this summer as we transition into fall. The '80s influence continues and we are loving the sizzling hot hues, especially neon hot pink. The stark contrast of neon pink with black looks fresh, fun, and girlie for clothing and accessories. Pair a hot pink shell blouse with an oversized black boyfriend blazer and skinny jeans, or go from head to toe in a hot pink asymmetric dress. There are also loads of bright pink accessories such as this cheeky Alexander McQueen clutch, neon pink belt, or pink thong sandals if you're looking for just a dash of neon color. Check out more summer-to-fall trends at our friends at TheFind!

    There are SO many reasons why we're excited about the "Gossip Girl" spinoff, starring Krysten Ritter and Brittany Snow. The cast, the setting, the prospect of meeting hunky younger Rufus and the mysterious Mr. Van der Woodsen... after seeing photos from the show's first episode, though, we've got another thing to add to the list of things to look forward to: amazing '80s fashion. Yes, the decade that so obviously inspires "Gossip Girl" fashion designer Jenny "neon" Humphrey is on full display in the series premiere. You can't help but be reminded of all the crazy things you wore in the '80s!
    Be sure to check out our friends at SOAPnet for the rest of the article, plus a slideshow with more exclusive photos from the spin-off set!

    Time To Make A Statement With A Bold Neon Watch!

    With 80s and 90s-inspired neon colors making comebacks all over the fashion spectrum, what youthful trend of yore would be more fun to welcome back than those funky florescent watches? I don't know about you, but back in elementary school I used to rock one of those faddish Baby-G watches every day like it was a diamond-crusted Rolex... and now even Lady Gaga has added her own neon yellow one as a staple to her very "fashion-forward" characteristic look in her latest music videos. Similar plastic and jelly-banded bright digitals (and analogs too) are popping up in both casual and high-end accessory lines, from sporty brands like Nixon and Adidas to designers like Michael Kors, and are appearing to be a hot color-popping trend for summer. Despite their silly hues and casual appearance, some are still pretty fancy and may be a bit on the pricey side if you're just looking to try out the bold look for a fun occasion or two, but others are both affordable and durable enough to take along to the beach and maybe even swim in! Check out the slideshow for some examples of the season's most vibrant watches!
