Some major trends this spring and summer include pastels and patterns. Colors are more toned down and pale; not as vibrant as last year. Mixing patterns is the main trend this year. For example, mixing floral pants with a striped shirt, or striped pants with a polka dot shirt. For hair, short and sassy bobs and a-line cuts are “in”. The last major trend for 2014 spring and summer is jumpsuits. Fashionable jumpsuits with heels are really cute this year.

Interview with Rebecca Berzett
Rebecca Berzett is a good friend of my mom’s who she used to work with. Her daughter’s are also some of my best friends so I know her through them. I chose to use Ms. Rebecca as my interviewee because she works at Ann Taylor part-time, which is a retail clothing franchise, and sells hair products to salons as her full-time job. She also keeps her whole family healthy by eating healthy foods and exercising. I asked her a few questions, so here are her answers.
1. What do you think is an “in” style or trend for this spring/summer? How has that changed from last year?
“Soft pastel colors instead of vibrant ones last year. I think mixing patterns is a big thing, too. For example, mixing floral pants and striped shirts. Also, short hair. Bobs and a-line short and sassy hair is cute. Colors are more toned down and pale.”
2. What do you think is a color that looks good on almost anyone? Why?
“Cream, definitely. Because there are so many variations with natural palettes. It also doesn’t wash you out like a white would.”
3. What is a tip you have for people who are trying to eat healthier?
“Exercise. Watch your calorie intake and don’t eat past 8 pm.”
4. What major things do you limit yourself from?
“Sugar.”
5. What are some essential items in your closet?
“Undergarments like good fitting bra, a light shirt for casual and formal wear, a nice pair of navy or black slacks, a pair of non-scuffed mid black heels, a watch, a large handbag and a small clutch, and a nice pair of sunglasses.”
6. What is a good food to eat to be healthier?
“Almonds, because they give you more protein and make you fuller faster.”
Surviving the Applewhites 2
Now that we are halfway through “Surviving the Applewhites,” I am starting to like it more. It has been getting more interesting and more exciting things are happening. I think the transition from explaining the characters in the beginning, to explaining how they work together and live together later in the book is interesting, and the author did a good job. I am awaiting something big that happens in the end and am excited to finish this book.
