Have you shown us your style on BP Next Yet? Check out user Justine’s plan for this spring: think shorts, crop tops, funky sneakers, and a Rihanna’s new RiRi Woo Red lip from Mac!

Spring has sprung and it’s time to get organized fashion-wise. Why not come over to BP Next and use the List feature to show us your style? 

It’s easy: find pictures of the looks you love online, NEXT the links into the Fashion category, and create a list called “My Spring Style.” You can also find other users’ looks by searching for “My Spring Style” or by browsing the Fashion category on the site, and add their great ideas to your own list!

For example, check out my Spring Style: I’ll be rocking lots of maxi dresses in bold patterns, chunky jewelry, a few pops of neon, and comfortable but cute flats. What will you be wearing this Spring?
