Pantone color of the year fashion and makeup

Each year, Pantone announces their color of the year. 2014's color is radiant orchid. I love light purples like this. I wanted to put together a list of some fashion in this color. This is such a fun color. I wanted to find items that were more unique and from different places. I see a lot of makeup in this color but not as much clothing so, I decided to include both. I didn't find exact matches but more clothes that are similar.

This tank is cute and simple.  Its not completely my style but it's still great for the summer.  |  Forever 21

Can you tell I have a thing for t-shirts? Long shirts are great and this on has an awesome cutout. Its oversized and great to just throw on and lounge around in. | Urban Outfitters

How cute are these converse? These are a little but lighter but I think they still work fine. | Urban Outfitters

This nail color from Butter London is gorgeous. The color is "molly coddled"." | Sephora

I love Buxom's lipsticks. This color is called "swinger" and I wear it whenever I need something more fun. | Sephora

Smashbox photo finish is an amazing primer. They have it in multiple colors and this purple toned one is great for brightening the skin. | Sephora

Trend report: dressed up ripped jeans

Are ripped jeans back? According to street style bloggers, tumblr, lookbook, etc. they are. I guess they never really went out of style but ripped jeans seem to be so chic and stylish lately. I can't get enough. Ripped jeans have come back in a new way. Everyone has or had a pair that was worn super casually. Those ripped jeans were the boyfriend jeans: long, over sized, baggy, and ripped. I was never a huge fan of those because well, I never really loved the whole menswear trend. Call me and anti-feminist or something but I kind of like dressing like a woman. Sorry.

I love this trend because its no longer a casual piece. I love these with heels and leather jackets and a pop of color on a leather bag.

This is something great because you can still wear these while it's cold and winter is ending but they can't be transitioned into spring. I, myself love normal ripped denim but simple black ones are super chis too. I think my ultimate pair or ripped jeans would be skinny, black, and ripped just on each knee. I'm still on the hunt for a pair of those.

Let me know what you think of this not so new trend.
