Hey! its autumn and its time to step up your look with ankle boots. Its more of velvet than usual which 'am really in love with , also in leather as usual. Ankle boots this season are well sculptured and can be combined with any form of clothing. If you don't like the usual ones you can always get the wedge, stiletto hills or the wooden chunky ones. Like I always say "always go for what you are comfortable in not what is in vogue"

You can finally put away those over bearing bags and opt for the softer and more simplified look of small bags.

SHOE SHOPPING

2010-04-02T01:51:00.032+02:00

Happy easther to you all. Lets go shoe shopping.

Ankle boots: They are hot, very comfortable and stylish. They can go on anything be it skirts, pants, jeans even on dresses.

Watch out for ankles with bows, open toes, strapped ankle booties with platform, cutout, ruffled, cage booties, velvet lace ups e.t.c

Pumps with platforms and High heels: They have been in trend for a while now and they are still in this season with bright colours and designes. Sling back platforms, peep-toed, sandals with bows, strappy platforms, cage sandals e.t.c

Flat Thong Sandals/ Ballerinas: They are called easy wears and are reliefs from towering heels. It's so amazing to see designers sending down models on the runways in flats. They come in very flattery and colourfull designes, they make the feet beautiful and are perfect for summer outings.

Wedgies: Love them or not they look absolutely fabulous.

ITS SIMPLE AND EDGY

2010-02-22T21:54:00.016+01:00

The trends this season is simple but sophiticated following most fashion shows, lots of designers went for nude colours and are mostly smart designs that means purposeful clothes with lasting powers.

The old millitary look is back with an inspiring edgy look. Leather is also in basically in nude or tan, simple piece but a majour statement.

Denim is also out and really over the top this season, it comes in different and distinct look from dungarees-pinafores-double denim- knee length skirts.

White shirt use to be a basic and boring outfit but this season it's given a new face entirely from the boring look to a friiled, flounced, tied up and buttoned down.

Most designes for this season are cropped sleeves, crotchet look, ruffles, frills, ruched sleeves, hanky, embellished tops/dresses, basque dresses and pencil skirts.

Shorts are also in from leather shorts to bulky shorts.

GLAM FROM TOP TO TOE

2009-11-11T09:06:00.012+01:00

It's all about metalics, matts, silky and hot red. Its all around every where. This new designs are more of getting in the groove mood.

Checking stores around all I could say is this is a real glam trend, all you need from your heels to your leggings to tops or dresses are all glam.

A UNIQUE COVER UP

2009-10-10T01:26:00.011+02:00

It's called a jacket, they come in different shapes, material and types. Gone are those days when jackets are associated with bikers and office workers.. Now, jackets are the most essential clothing in a womans cloth rack. They give you a unique and edgy look. You can dress them up with belts and accesories or just plain as they are. Jackets can be worn on almost or any type of clothing and can give you different look from casual , evening look, Dressy and official. The best trend for me this season is a jacket be it leather, shimmering or plain cotton.

A TOUCH OF AUTUMN

2009-09-02T03:52:00.000+02:00

As we roll into the month of september, I could smell and feel the autumn winds and this indicates a change in wardrobe from the summer brighter colurs and prints to a dull and darker shades.

Apart from the normal darker shades like dull brown, black, dark grey etc their are more new and lovely colours this autumn i.e Purple heart, loose pink ( closer to light peach), Iron (its brown nor black), Normad ( a neutral colour) , Burnt Sienne ( its the shade of autumn sunset an earlier shade of last season tangerine),

Dull olive, Magolica blue, ( a blend of teal and navy), Cream Brucee ( delicate blend of ivory beige and grey).

The look for this autumn is classified into five categories, Vintage look, Classic look, Modern mix look, Rock n Roll look, the bohochic look and the Seventies look.

Looking around I realised that Velvet is in this autumn can u imagine but I noticed its more of the devore one which is lighter. They come in dresses, leggings, skirts and even in boleros. Knits are also very in, chunky knits and oversized scarves worn in layers.

Cocktail dresses are also in this time of the year but this season it's all about frivolous and escapist glamour with puffed sleeves.

Hanky hem tops or assymetric tops are also in with checked tunics and as usual statement frill tops and exagerated drapes. Watch out also for clothes with well defined shoulders ( shoulder pads).

Skirts are in flared shapes this season, chunky accessories are still in, more of long boots and printed leggings.

Denim a friend that is always in no mater the season is also on for autumn.

A RISK THAT WORTHS IT

2009-07-03T11:18:00.000+02:00

Thinking of creating a new look for yourself when it comes to your hair people are always scarred especially when it's hair issue because of the fact that they are so much into that same style of hair do and colour.

I was also like that but lately I said to my self go girl and get out of your shell, then i decided to cut my hair more like layers and it does fit my face and my figure.

I woke up one day and decided to apply some gel and styled all my hair to the front. Bam it came out very lovely, now I know you dont necessarily have to belong to the category of an unblong shape of face to go on cuts it fits to any particular type of face.

LONG LASTING EFFECT

2009-05-18T18:51:00.000+02:00

Every woman likes to look good and leave a long lasting smell. I use to think that the more expensive or popular a cologne the better.

No No No, there are some inexpensive cologne under 200 SEK (less than 20 euros) with a very lovely and long lasting effects. I sampled some and wao! av been really smiling and thankful for the comments I got from people.

Hey! it worths trying

BEAD IN THE LOOKS

2009-04-26T23:26:00.001+02:00

Beads are now the latest accessories in town. Though they have been around for a while if I can recall but not as fashionable as they are now.

Beads can be used in pulling off any look from day to night or casuals to official

Beads come in different types like pearls, glass , crystal , stone , seed , plastic , metal , wooden and bone beads .......

For a good, unique and affordable buy, I advice to check a vintage shop.

SUNGLASSES IN STYLE

2009-04-12T04:59:00.000+02:00

At last we can now breath a sign of relief after a long winter period, the sun keeps smilling down on us again as we roll into this spring.
I believe it's now time to start enhancing our beauty with our sunglasses so girlfriends it's time to go shopping for those killing and breathtaking sunshades.
Apart from the fact that sunglasses protects the eyes from uv rays from the sun it also gives you a bold and courageous look that makes you feel ( you are less concerened about what is happening around you or even glancing at something nice without people looking at you ridiculously).
These days sunglasses comes in different shapes with large and enormous frames which is good for people with smaller features. When buying a sunglasses make sure you check the shape of your face. Squared faces are better off on rounded cornes, round faces looks great with more angular shapes while oval faces can wear a variety of shapes.
To shorten the look of your nose make sure you choose a style with a bridge that sits lower and your eyes should peek out above the top.
Always make sure that larger shapes sit high on your nose and that the frames don't extend beyond the sides of your face.
Choose colours that usually flatter you in make up or clothes and do not use shades that are most closely to your skin tone.

WHAT IS YOUR FASHION STATEMENT

2009-03-27T06:40:00.000+01:00

What statement are you making when it comes to your sense of fashion, are you trying to please other people or yourself? I think every woman should have a word When it comes to fashion which helps alot when shopping.
The first thing for me is seeing something i like, (this is niiiiccceee), then I check the price (wao! it's cheap) and do I have money for it at that moment.
All in all my fashion statement is TRENDY, CHEAP and AFFORDABLE.

COMFORT IN FASHION

2009-03-15T00:21:00.000+01:00

Gone are those days when flat shoes are seen as shoes for the aged, most women go around with their flats and heels in hand bags. The ballerinas in trends are made to be easily folded and fits into ones bag.

When you want to have a casual and calm look just put on your ballerina and off you go.

To me they are one of the most comfortable shoes you can have on, especially on a hot summer day with a cropped jeans or long jeans just any how you like it.

They come in any shade of colour one can think of and with different designs.

I think they are fashion made relaxed and easy.

IT'S FASHION, FUNCTION AND FABULOUS

2009-03-10T23:15:00.000+01:00

Leggings and tights are products of the eighties but has come full force into fashion again,they are either long or quarter of the leg and they are either plane coloured or mixed coloured with various designs.

Leggings can be seen in fashion from the winter to summer.

Leggings are so so cool because they elongate the leg and gives you an extreme feminine and an expensive look. I call them 'fit for payment' because they can be worn on any kind of shoe from your boots, platforms, heels, sandals even ballerinas also works on leggings

A closet is incomplete without a leggings.

BAGS IN STYLE

2009-02-28T02:58:00.000+01:00

Bags has always been a friend one can not do without and they are the most visible fashion accessory. They come in different shades, shapes and textures.

They help in complementing ones dressing and they fit to any type of look from casuals to official or dinner outfits, just talk of any thing called wears they just fit perfectly well.

They come in different types be it over sized clutch , tote, wrist lets, shoulder bags e.t.c

Fashion has made life easier for mothers like me, students and women who need to take their lap top around can also be fashion forward because bags in trends are over sized bags and are made to be able to carry heavy loads as high as 2.5kg.

Now, its all about enormous and chunky bags. Thanks to fashion for that.

COLOUFUL, HOT AND TRENDY

2009-02-21T05:07:00.001+01:00

This summer it's all about being colourful, strong, classic and daring.

Sequence are back in fashion again this summer can you just imagine. I believe it's a lovely trend that is classic but still daring. It's timeless, can transcend decades, eras and it's also ageless.

Prints are also in fashion this summer and they are bold, strong colourful and not for the faint hearted.

Wedge has been in fashion for a while and are still in style but with different and a unique architectural look.

THE CELEBRATION OF LOVE

2009-02-14T16:16:00.001+01:00

It's valentine, most people see today as a day to give a loved one a gift, to visit a friend or to go out on a date. Thinking of it today I realise most people give but do not give to themselves.

Girlfriends it's not only about the other person but about you too, so take yourself on a shopping spree or a date. For me, I was out at lindex, glitters, espirite, parellel........ doing what I know how to do best "WINDOW SHOPPING"

Just give yourself a nice treat and your mind, body and soul will be grateful.

FASHION AFTER DELIVERY

2009-02-14T05:50:00.000+01:00

It took me a while to get myself back together 7 weeks after delivery weighing 89kg from my normal 58kg. Unable to exercise myself as I wanted due to cesarean delivery.

I understand how you feel mums, looking at the mirror and saying to your self when will I fit into this my lovely top,dress or just a pair of skinny jeans again. Its just a matter of time and patience.

The best thing is not to forgo the maternity wears you used during your second trimester as long as they are fashion forward for the time being before you loose all the baby weight. If you really desire to put on a fitted wear just make sure you use a beautiful belt to hide those fats around the waist area and to give you a sexy and curvy look.

Breastfeeding mums don't feel embarrassed with that excessive breast of yours you can still put on fitted tops, shirts and blouses as long as you have a flowing skirt, flare trousers to go with it. Am not their yet still have almost 15 kg left to get to 60kg that I desire but that does not stop me from looking and dressing very nice.

THE COLOUR FOR THE SEASON

2009-02-13T16:40:00.000+01:00

Its all about the colour (RED).

Red is a bright colour that catches the eye and attracts attention, people who puts on red clothing's are seen as bold, deary, sexy and courageous.

The key to wearing a red shade of clothing is to choose a shade that goes with your skin tone.

If you are apprehensive about wearing bright reds then go for a subdued red style. Choose to wear red when you need something extra to pep up your energy, wear red to enhance your energy

Do you have any shade of red? hmnnnn its time to get one, don't miss out

MULTICOLOURED, MULTIPURPOSE

2009-02-11T19:13:00.000+01:00

Trying to figure out what colour of shoe and bag to use for an outing and I don't want to wear a black shoe so I said to "myself having a multicoloured shoe and bag is always the best".
You can use them on any shade of colour without even having a second thought.

It's a must have especially for days you have trouble thinking of what colour of shoe or bag to use.

THEY ARE OLD AND TRENDY

2009-02-11T17:54:00.001+01:00

Vintage clothes are always in vogue, just modify them with accessories. They always have this unique and extreme look.

Girlfriends, please check your mothers old wears and see if you can get some for yourself. Surfing the Internet for vintage wears I realise they are a bit expensive (hmnnn thinking of getting some for myself )

Vintage clothing is back and real big

Shoes, shoes and shoes

The beautiful thing about heels is that it excersises the muscles of the legs. Wedge, pumps, gladiator sandals goes on any form of dressing but I love them most on jeans or pants it makes ones legs looks longer and they lift the butts up. So as many women who have little butts try wearing heels and check your back side in a mirror.

Even slim women looks shapely with a strap of belt around the waist.
Thin belts are now coming back in style especially putting on a shot sleeveless mini dress
It can be worn around the waist, under the bust or just on the stomach.

Check your closet

2009-02-06T22:24:00.000+01:00

Women tends to shop alot especially when its sales, but before getting another extra thing to that over flowing closet of yours ask your self ( DO I REALLY NEED THIS ).
Do not buy clothes, shoes or bags thinking they will be useful one day because fashion trend changes daily. New clothes, shoes and bags keep coming every minute in various styles and shapes.
