Trend Report from L.A.

avocado toast
Here’s a trend you can easily recreate and enjoy anytime. Avocado toast (pictured at top) is to L.A. what toasted ravioli is to St. Louis. A healthier alternative to the latter, avocado toast is nothing more than it suggests, avocado spread thickly over wheat toast. Add salt and pepper, and if you want to get fancy, a sunny-side-up egg. You can add bacon to your toast, but if you want to stick with the L.A. version, go light on the meat. For more recipes, go to plantpreferred.com.

pixie cut perfection
It started with Miley Cyrus and was most recently rocked by Katy Perry. Super-short, bleached blond hair has become the look du jour among Angelenos and celebs. It’s an uncomplicated cut that’s easy to maintain, and it can give you the best of both worlds. Slick back the longer front layers for a more feminine look, or slick it all back to achieve sexy sophistication. Either way, this ‘do will leave you a cut above the rest!

raging for ruffles
This spring is all about ruffles, and it couldn’t be any more evident than in L.A. Los Angeles-based brand Alpha & Omega’s red asymmetrical top features gorgeous, oversized ruffles. Pair with high-waist skinny jeans and your favorite heels for a night on the town. With its fire-red hue and on-trend design, it will give your spring wardrobe an immediate update. To see the Alpha & Omega line, visit shopaocollection.com.

go for a ride
Cycling seems to be everywhere in L.A., from downtown to the boardwalk. Jump on the bandwagon at CycleBar, the newest indoor cycling community to hit the Lou. With a location in Chesterfield and another coming soon to Creve Coeur, this fast-paced workout will whip you into shape faster than you can say “California.” From themed rides to classic routines, there are workout levels from beginner to expert.

all for almond nails
Almond-shaped nails have taken over L.A. Whether they are on the long or short side, they seem to be replacing the classic ‘squoval,’ one finger at a time. If you decide to ditch your current nail shape for this trend, you may want to consider acrylics or gel nails. Because they’re narrower at the ends, they are more likely to break off, so keep this in mind the next time you’re at the salon.
