Of the spring fashion trends for this year, I think the sporty trend is most intriguing. Relaxed silhouettes, sweats + heels, and boxy crops tops have a ’90s girl vibe that I love. I had to give it a feminine touch that is more my style: this kiss print top was the perfect way to do it.

My Body Is Perfectly Imperfect
When I started my blog Jay Miranda, it was premised on being confident in your skin and expressing that through fashion. One of the questions I get the most is, “How do you become confident in your body?”
For me, it’s a process that starts with being kinder to yourself and remembering that your body is pretty amazing. Plus, your body is a part of you, but you are so much more.
I made this video a month ago and wondered if I should share something that feels a little vulnerable. But if I want other people to be brave in their bodies, I have to be brave with mine. So here it is. I’m dedicating this video to my daughter for making me whole and to every reader who has ever enjoyed this blog. Love, Jay.
Spring Pastel Trend
Recently, River Island contacted me to see what I thought of their spring lineup. If you’re a longtime reader of my blog, you know I’ve featured them before. I feel inspired by the spring trends for 2014, especially pastels. The sweet hues at River Island remind me of carefree strolling, sunny days, and two-hour lunches. I think something about pastels make you look like a woman in love.
As you become older and busier, you don’t always have time for a romantic afternoon with your other half. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have a beautiful day out with someone I absolutely love:
p.s. If you are looking for plus-size clothing as a size 14-16, River Island can be a great place to shop because their UK18 fits well, especially if there’s a little stretch. In terms of fashion-forward pieces, I think they beat ASOS too, which is saying something! If you are new to the brand, they are worth checking out.
