Styling Tips For Ladies Who Are Wearing Their Clothes All Wrong

                                             

Flashing too much
Showing too much of your body doesn’t make you look appealing. The golden rule of fashion is if you are showing cleavage, then your back, legs and bottom must be covered up and vice-versa. If you wanna show a little skin it’s not a crime and no one will call the fashion police for that, especially if it’s an evening event. Nevertheless if you don’t want it to go from classy to trashy leave anything to the imagination, try to stay mysterious, mystery is always alluring.
                                                            

Denim denim
One common mistake women keep making over and over – denim over denim. Almost every woman owns at least one denim jacket, but what should you wear denim with? Easy, you can pair a light denim shirt with bold leggings or skinny pants, maxi skirt or printed trousers. If you still want to hit the street with a completely denim look, try to combine a light denim shirt with a pair of dark denim jeans or a dark denim jacket with light denim shorts.
                                                         

Too large too small
Clothes you choose should be the proper size and fit you right. But women are always trying to squeeze into jeans two sizes too small or wear tight, undersized bras that will certainly make them look like they have a second set of breasts, in hopes that it’ll make them look slim and attractive. Not only is it uncomfortable but also unhealthy. Moreover you shouldn’t hide in baggy shapeless outfits, try to find clothes which will show off your best features. You need to highlight your perfect curves and hide your weak spots.
                                                                    

Bling overload or not wearing any at all

Playing up your look with a classy jewelry is a must. On the other hand overdoing it is an evident mistake you must avoid. Rest assured that colorful scarves, necklaces or earring will brighten up your day-to-day outfits.

Mixed prints are too busy
                                               

If you don’t know how to mix prints and you find it completely puzzling, try to avoid wearing everything printed you have in your closet. It can be quite difficult to come up with the right outfit but at the same time really easy to dress up and look ridiculous. 
There’s a thing you can be definitely sure of – fashion rules are meant to be either followed or broken, so wear what makes you feel awesome, what you are comfortable in and what works for you! After all it’s your look!

COLOR COMBO: WHITE AND SILVER ATTIRES


As promised in our list of 25 matching color combinations for your wedding ,I will post trending colors / color combinations to give us fantastic ideas and inspirations.
My post today is going to be based on just one color.

And the color is WHITE! Yes nowadays brides tend to dress in an all-white ensemble or white and silver, or sometimes lace fabric and white gele/headgear as well as white accessories.

This combination gives the bride a kind of regal look at the same time makes her appear very sophisticated and chic on her big day.

Here are some pictures of beautiful brides in all white ensemble 
                      






Here's Why You Seriously Shouldn't Sleep With Makeup On


                     

Word of advice: Never take a snooze with a face full of makeup on. Likely, it's not the first time you've heard the age-old adage, but it’s important to understand why getting a wee bit lazy can have lasting effects.
“Sleep is a restorative time for the skin, and if oil glands and pores are blocked by the day’s makeup remains, the results can be disastrous. “Makeup products left on the skin do not allow skin to properly shed, and the makeup, old skin cells and environmental pollutants can accumulate on your pillow.” That said, it’s crucial to lock-down a nightly face washing routine to avoid skin mishaps like clogged pores, blackheads, inflammatory acne, and flaky, red, irritated skin (ouch) that could result from wearing makeup overnight.


Apparently, there are also differences between sleeping with face or eye makeup on.  However, mascara and eyeliner come with different pitfalls. “Sleeping with eye makeup on puts a patient at risk for corneal abrasions (due to particles irritating the surface of the eye), and inflammation around the delicate tissue of the eye, “Inflammation around the eye can cause eye infections, irritation and clogging of glands around the eyelash line as well as eyelid redness and irritation.”

                              

We get it: After a night of too many cocktails or long day of meetings, falling asleep with your makeup on can seem downright natural. If you can’t quite get your hands on your makeup-removing formula or take a shower before hitting the pillow, it’s crucial that you make your morning skin care routine a high priority upon waking up. “Use warm (not hot) water to loosen caked-on makeup to gently open pores of the skin.

WATCH: Adele's Music Video For Brand New Single 'Hello' Is Here And It Is Incredible


                  

 We've waited so long for a new Adele song (and music video) that I could hardly believe its out,After four years of her last album, Get ready to be hit by Adele's amazing new single.The 27-year-old singer is releasing the song as part of her upcoming album 25, which is due in stores on November 20.

“Hello from the other side; I must have called a thousand times to tell you; I’m sorry, for everything that I’ve done; But when I call you never seem to be home,” Adele sings in the chorus.
Press Play button to watch video.



                                       
The video begins with Adele stood outside an old house, trying to get phone signal.

"I just got here and I think I'm losing signal already." She says. "Hello? Can you hear me now?"

"Sorry." She says, giving up on the call on a flip phone (an indication of how out of touch she's become, perhaps?) and entering a long abandoned house.

Ripping all of the white sheets off the furniture, she takes a sigh of relief and looks at the camera properly for the first time and just like that, Adele is BACK and we are crying tears of love. Never leave us again.
I might be getting carried away but the song is INCREDIBLE and  already smelling the Grammys! Check out the video that I fully expect to break the Internet!

The Easiest Way (Ever!) To Find Out If You’d Look Good With Short Hair

                                                            


So, you've decided that you may want to get a haircut. But are you also worried about the outcome? Unsure if what you have in mind will actually suit you? Make sure before you take the step and find out if a cut would suit your face structure.

For me ,It happens every year: a new year finally hits, and i get that overwhelming urge to cut my hair again.My first time ever experience was so funny,even though i was preggy at that time and the heat wave was crazy,I still struggled with the thought of how a short hair would make me look and feel with my huge bump then.Finally,Hubby gave me the nudge i needed and i looked fantastic!

But,Seriously, how do you know if a drastic chop is right for you? Simple math—no calculator required. Meet the 2.25-inch test and challenge your self to have a different look.

Color Wow International Training Director Giles Robinson picked up the trick from his mentor, John Frieda. According to Robinson, the measurement works because it helps you find “… the angle of the jawbone, which determines whether or not someone would look best with short or long hair.”

To take the 2.25-test, start by placing a pencil on the point of your chin horizontally, then hold a ruler to your earlobe vertically (the two should create a square, see below). The intersection where the two meet is your measurement. If it’s less than 2.25 inches, your face is made for short hair,More than 2.25 inches, and the cut might not be the most flattering one for you.
                                     

After this post i am sure we have learnt such an important lesson with just a ruler and pencil since after our primary school days.
If you're still not very comfortable with the idea of a short hair,Check out our post on What your hairstyle says about you.
Have a Fantastic week!Happy Monday!

CAUTION GUYS:Menswear Trends Women Hate!!


If you’ve got any of these in your closet, throw them out. If you’ve got any of these on your body, chances are she wasn’t checking you out, as much as she was giving you the stank-eye. These menswear items should be avoided, or executed with extreme caution.

Here’s the lo-down, thank us later.

 Shirts With Slogans 

                    


So you’re the guy in the club wearing the shirt that says ‘bacon, sex, and condoms’, ‘#selfie’, or the infamous t-shirt with the bride and groom emblem that says ‘game over’. What you’re really saying is, “I never want to have sex with a woman”. Want to show off your tear inducing sense of humor? Make your mouth to the talking, not the t-shirt.

 Anything That Sparkles

                

Shirts and suits with sheen are strictly prohibited.So so tacky!!

Brashly Printed Suits
                                


While you’ll get a high five for rocking a printed shirt with your evening wear, sometimes there’s too much of a good thing.
 Short Shorts
          


There’s a reason that the song goes “she wear short shorts”, not “he wear short shorts”, no matter how intense your leg day is at the gym or how much you work your calves, beware how high above the knee you go.

Wack colored sneakers



Don’t stop wearing your colored sneakers if you know how,some sneakers are just too wack.Footwear shouldn't have more personality than you.



 The Kanye T-Shirt Dress

Just because Kanye wore it, doesn’t mean that you should. Kanye makes mistakes too. This is one of them.

Shiny suits
                            
Oh well! of course, its only allowed if you the guy in yellow shiny suit in Psy 's Gangnam Style video..Lol!!

Need a Style Revamp? Buy Less Clothes and More Accessories


If you feel your style needs an upgrade, forget about hitting the stores for more clothes, check out if your accessories need a makeover.
                          


1. Accessories add personality to your outfits

Clothing on its own can easily get boring, especially when worn the same way over and over again. This is what often causes women to go out and buy more to wear. However, it's not the clothing that is the problem, the problem is not adding any personality to what you are wearing. Great accessories is the difference between a good outfit and a great one.
                
Office Accessories

2. What to do if you are an accessorizing newbie

Unlike clothing, accessories don't require long, arduous trips to the dressing room, don't need tailoring and are purchases that are more emotionally driven. Sadly, most women don't trust their instincts enough to buy what they love. However, by trusting your gut and simply listening to how you react when you see a fantastic pair of shoes or a statement necklace is all you need to decide what is right and what isn't.
                                              

Yet, shopping for accessories does involve some sort of planning to ensure you get the most out of what you purchase. You don't want to purchase too much of the same thing. Make sure you have some variety. The more you have the more you will be able to change up your basics look.

Next, look at your wardrobe on a whole. Identify certain color themes and shades you like to wear. When buying colorful accessories, you want to make sure the colors you buy will work with the colors of the clothing in your closet.

Lastly, you want to make sure your basics are covered. These basics are perfect to have on hand for rushed mornings when you don't have the time to think about putting an intricately accessorized outfit together but still want to look pulled together. 
                                    


3. Does accessorizing create more to do?

Part of the reason why women avoid accessorizing is because it just seems like an additional step. However, if you plan it right, purchase the right things and have your accessories bases covered, grabbing accessories will be a quick step that won't seem hard or time consuming. In addition, it takes a lot less time to add jewelry to an outfit than it does trying to find something to wear

Embrace your personality through your accessories.One of the best ways to stand out and fit in at the same time is through your accessories. Use them to take your favorite bland basics to the next level.
Happy Accessorizing!!!
