Don’t let spring’s latest looks leave you looking so last season. With as little effort as throwing on a pair of jeans, the White Pages® Online can help you update your warm weather style.

Before you start dreaming of a Pretty Woman-style shopping spree, tackle the basics and visit White Pages® Online to search for the contact details of your trusty beautician and hairdresser. Hitting the shops with a highlighted hairdo will do wonders for your confidence when faced with unflattering change room lighting.

While you look at your trusty hairdresser’s details, save them for next time in a list of essential beauty services. Use the White Pages® Online MyList functionality to collate the contact details of your beautician, facialist, hairdresser and spray tanner in the same place. For the truly trendy, why not search using the new White Pages® iPad app, which includes interactive maps and functionality to help you find your way there as you can save the business or residential listing to a contact, send to SMS or even, email a friend. 

Develop a game plan to tackle the shops. Shoppers with a clear idea of what they want often make less impulse purchases that tend to gather dust at the back of the closet.

This season there are five major trends you should be wearing:

1. Colour: The brighter the better! Every fashionista is colour blocking. Think electric pink with bright orange for a truly blinding seasonal look.
2. The spirit of the 1970s: Forget peace signs and grab a pair of flared jeans. Super brave? Pick a pair with a high waist. Add a pair of cork wedges and a floaty blouse and you’re ready for a retro spring.
3. Sheer and lace: Fashion wants to see right through you, with sheers bringing a new sexy to the season. The hottest item of the minute? A long, sheer maxi skirt.
4. Nudism: This isn’t a call to take your clothes off, rather to put them on – as long as they are in blush and nude hues. Toughen up this soft look with pops of electric colour and leather details.
5. Tribal: Express your inner warrior with animal and tribal prints. Look for anything in hues that scream ‘safari’.

There is nothing worse than finding the perfect wardrobe addition in a size too big and waiting too long for a busy shop assistant to tell you they don’t have another size. While shopping, you can use the White Pages® iPhone app anywhere you have internet access to search for the contact details of another store close by.  Once you’ve found a store that suits, you can call them to see if they have the correct size in stock. So helpful when shop assistants are busy!

This season, let the White Pages® take the effort out of your new style update.
