Fashion: CheckerBoard Print

Hi everyone, its Carlinn here from Superficialgirls and today we are checking out a fun spring and summer trend! Checker board print is a quirky but classy way to spruce up your wardrobe for spring and summer. 

Think retro sixties with a classic twist and if you don't want to overdo it stick to black and white and add pops of solid color. A sleek fitted dress or a big bold handbag might work best with this print but if you feel like going all out and having fun with it there are so many options.

Here are some of my favorite checked picks!

Fashion: Festival Fashion

Hi lovelies! Its Carlinn here from Superficialgirls and I am getting ready for the festival season! Get out your cut-offs and maxi dresses, your boots and flower crowns and be ready for some seriously chic music festival style. Its your chance to be quirky and let your personal style show so be creative!

I love the mix of floaty feminine dresses paired with utility jackets and boots and if you always wanted to wear tie dye, now is your chance. Online you will find loads of stores with dedicated festival wear sections so you don't have an excuse not to go wild.

Here are some festival outfit essentials:

1. Funky sunglasses like these round ones from Asos

2. Denim shorts are always a go to when the weather is hot, we love ones with a bit of color from J Brand

3. Pile your arms with bracelets and let them jingle while you dance for a festival feel

4. Floral headbands make a statement and people might even mistake you for Lana del Rey

5. Flat booties are essential for dancing in the dirt!

Fashion: Mint + Gold

Hello! I'm Carlinn from Superficial Girls blog & now one of the newest Fashion contributors here on MBG! I'm so very excited to share my first post here on MadeByGirl! Ready? 

I have been loving the sweet combination of mint & gold online! From mint ice-cream to your favorite delicate gold necklace these hues bring out your happiest emotions. Together they create a perfect color palette that I definitely cant resist. They seem to work well together in fashion, decor and even food (mint cupcakes with gold dust anyone?)

I usually love wearing a mint outfit with splashes of gold in my accessories, but why not have fun with it by matching your nails or adding a mint sweater to a pretty gold colored skirt!

Here are some of my favorite mint and gold picks to help you warm up to this trend.
