SPRING FASHION SPOTLIGHT: THE VERONICAS
Lisa Origliasso, one half of the pop/rock Australian sibling duo The Veronicas took some time out of the girls busy schedule promoting their new album to answer some questions about her and sister, Jess' signature sassy style. Check out what Lisa had to say in our quick Q&A below! Don't forget to buy "Untouched", the first US single off their new album Hook Me Up, now available on iTunes!

How would you describe your style?

Our style is a mix of vintage, designer and rock.

The trend you can't stand is...

A trend we can't stand are those fluro colors coming back in everywhere here in Oz [Australia]... on girls and boys!!

What beauty products do you swear by?

Napoleon black eyeliner, NARS blush and eye shadows, and Forever New glitters for fun!

What's your ideal party look?

It depends on our mood. We tend to dress how we feel, but you can't go too wrong with cute leggings, a hot pair of heels and a cool rock 'n' roll vintage top dressed up with awesome layered jewelry! And a fitted jacket or long cardigan!

Your most embarrassing piece of clothing is...

Our most embarrassing piece of clothing probably some pants we've bought from the 'little boys' department at Target. Since we are small, they were the only ones that would fit us!

Who is your fashion idol?

Our fashion idols are the Olsen twins. They always look cute, unique and stylish. We also love looking through Japanese fashion magazines for inspiration too!

YUMMY SPRING POLISHES

Time to toss out those black, dark browns, purples and blue polishes! Well, don't throw them out, just put them away for safe keeping, because your nails are GOING BRIGHT!

Spring is one of our favorite seasons and it's the best time to start breaking out your boldest shades of nail polish. It's time to get risky!

This year it's all about candy coating your nails in the brightest shades, like candy apple red, cotton candy pink, lemon lime green, juicy tangerine and sunny yellow! We're already excited, so make sure you click on the above shades for some suggestions!

SWEET TREND: PASTEL EYES

Want your eyes to glisten this spring? Dust your peepers with some super pretty pastel colors! Sheer and sparkly shades such as sea foam green, lavender, baby blue and yellow really make your eyes pop!

It all gets down to picking the right shade for your complexion. Ladies with a more fair tone and light eyes should stick to pinks and blues, while darker skin tones benefit more from greens and yellows. A shade that rocks on nearly any girl is lilac! If you want something a little riskier, you can even go with a light to medium silver or grey shade.

Brush on your favorite color, pair it with some mascara (it's a must) and you're good to go. Remember to use the colors sparingly because it's a soft spring look you're going for, you never want to look like a Easter egg blew up on your eye lid!!

FASHION Q&A WITH

Pop sensation and star of the upcoming Brooke Knows Best, Brooke Hogan gave us the low-down on her favorite fashion and beauty tips. Check out what she had to say below!

Who are some of your favorite designers? Christian Dior ... I love the sunglasses, the make-up, the clothes ... just that whole style. I like Roberto Cavalli, then I also like Marciano. You know the Guess line? Bebe ... Bebe and Marciano those are my mall stores. I go there all the time, I think I just dropped like $2,000 this week in Bebe.

What are your three must-have beauty products?
I'm pretty much a wash and wear girl. But, I love using Biotera Shampoo & Conditioner, because it smells really good. I love my Clean & Clear face wash, and probably just lip gloss.

How would you describe your style?
There's always a girlie part to my style, but I try to change it up ... 'girlie rocker', or I'll be 'girlie boho'.

I'm into high heels and I like wearing stuff that’s fitting. Iim not really into jeans that much, I feel like jeans always make my butt look wide. [Laughs]

Who are your fashion inspirations?
Probably Gwen Stefani, I love her. Let me see ... you know what; I don't really have any fashion inspirations. I just like that fact that Gwen Stefani's kind of rockin' the blonde hair, red lip look.
