Fashion loving the now: skirt and jumper combo

 

Ok so I thought a fashion trend post would be a great way to start the 2013 posts
 (yes its been that long since I have posted :0 ).

This trend I have been seeing alot in the high street and am guessing that it's gonna be big.

Get the look
 

You will need :

1) A skater skirt- purchasable from most high street stores

2) Any kind of jumper that works well with the skirt

Together:


tucking the jumper into the skirt also looks great, it gives you an hourglass figure however it depends on what look you are trying to achieve. 

 

 

Celebs like Cheryl have been recently spotted in this trend

I love this look I think it looks girly yet cool and is very easy to create without spending loads of money- which is always a bonus! ;)

Team this look with some kind of ankle boot as this completes the outfit plus adds to the practicality of the outfit given that it is winter.

P. S. Sorry I haven't posted in do long I've just been really busy with exams and such, however I hope to post many more posts in the NEAR future (note to self......)

Hope you enjoyed the first of many posts in 2013

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle Twinkle little star? a hint to today's trend........STARDUST

stardust is a range of different prints like galaxy and star prints,but also it can be items

 that have that unusual look to them or are just really glittery and make you shine like a STAR

its basically a space theme-its a fun trend!

so as you can see galaxy print is colourful and can update your winter wardrobe.

ITS JUST OUT OF THIS WORLD! (get it!!!not funny i know ;P )

i really like the dress as it looks really cool and edgy.

also the black ad white leggings would look amazing with a knitted jumper and leather jacket <3

also just gotta show you these shoes!

weird huh?

definitely a space look going on

more spacey wonders......

Glitter,sequins and shiny metallic make you shine like a star and look great for a party.

I have to say i like this trend for the fun of it i mean look at those shoes!

A little weird is good,it shows your bold,brave and interesting.

And a little weird is something this trend allows you to do.

Put YOUR own stamp on it!

Dark Romance:Hair and Makeup

I recently wrote a post about the trend Dark Romance, a grungy elegance.So to go with that look i thought i'd show you guys how to create the hair and makeup, cos lets face it this trend can only look complete with that oh so lovely textured hair and smouldering eyes ;)

Hair

Hair for this look (like I just mentioned) is full of texture,it looks almost like you have just got out of bed which you could try if you naturally have slightly messy hair in the morning ;) However if your like me and your hair is often straight and smooth you will need some assistance.VO5 give me texture range is designed to give hair lift and texture (ovs) simply spay onto dry or damp hair and start twisting and scrunching for about 30 seconds.

you can spray with hairspray if you wish, to secure.
And that's it! easy huh? 

Makeup

The main feature: the eyes,want to be smokey, shades of blue,purple and black in my opinion work best.

When creating a smokey eye, make sure the darker shade is on the outer corner of the eye and the lighter shade on the inner (like the picture above).

Then line the eyes with black eyeliner for definition.

if you arn't handy with eye shadow just line your eyes with eyeliner and smudge until you get the desired smokey look.

Finally add mascara to complete!

Now you have a complete look to try and play with

hope you enjoyed

Dark Romance

"Dark romance", the chance for every girl to unleash their rocky side!

Dark romance is basically Gothic glam, and as you can imagine consists of black, black and more black.

This look isn't about stand out colours, but different textures,like leather, lace, and sequins.

here is how to create a dress look

Lace dresses

 keep it looking elegant.

add a jacket to rock it up

shoesss......

i find that with this look, applying coloured nail polish can give the outfit a needed POP of colour.

(Waring ALL black is tiresome)

If your not a fan of dresses, leggings look just as good epically lace and leather look.

extra ideas :)

hope you liked this trend Dark Romance will be doing a post on the hair and makeup side to this look

So stay tuned!

P.S this post was planned for about 2 weeks ago! was really busy with school and that, am ganna make sure i have time for another post soon!

fashion lov'in at the now

So this is my first post on fashion lov'in at the now.These are trends i am into at the moment, they may not always be big trends but their trends i  <3

Its summer and the weather is quite warm (most of the time)so I'm really into skirts right now, and though i would normally always go for a pair of shorts, i feel teaming a girly skirt with a baggy or grungy top can make the outfit less girly and add a upbeat twist to the classic sweet look it gives off.

Here are examples, just tuck the top into a skirt or leave lose for an even more casual look .I really like this look as it looks great and is big right now.In my opinion a skirt is a wardrobe staple as it can be dressed up or down and there are so many looks you can achieve.

here are other looks you can achieve with a skater skirt. denim looks great for a casual outfit or change the top and acesseries for a more dressy feel the options are endless!

EXTENTION

If you like the skater skirt why not also try a mullet skirt (short at the front long at the back) ,you've probly seen them all over hightreet stores they're a huge summer trend!

hope you enjoyed
