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!

NAIL,that nail art-September Edition

Sorry for not posting I have no excuses apart from the fact that I haven't got round to it, for which I apologise.

This is my tenth post Yey!! During which I have gained 3 lovely followers and 113 page views which is ok I guess as I am relatively new,so let's make it a good one! I hope you like :)

If you don't know Like to post about creative nail art not just the standard plain colour,don't get me wrong I love one colour nails but I feel amazing nails bring out your creativity and can complete an outfit.so here we go!

Tuxedo Nails

These nails have been spotted on Zooey dechanel, I LOVE the idea of them as there original and quirky.

There are many versions of this nail art, ill do both of the ones above.

HOW TO CREATE THE TUXEDO NAIL:VERSION 1

(picture on the right like Zooeys)

1. Paint all of your nails white (use more then one coat if needed)
2. make a dot near the top of your nail
3. with a dotting tool make 4 more dots that outline a basic bow shape
4. join the dots to the centre dot to create a bow
5. paint a line across the bottom of your nail,like you would paint the white when doing a french manicure.
6. add three more dots between the black line and bow

this is the version zooey wore for version 2 (picture on the left (top)) just change the black manicure line into a v shape so you are left with a white triangle in the middle,this my be best drawn before the bow and dots

hope that's not confusing :/

so i love this look, and collars are big this season so why not mix the two together and make a peter pan collar version.

Step By Step Guide In Pics

hope you like them and try this look,it is hard to do them on yourself but they look fab and are well worth the effert when their finished :)

Autumns AMAZING Makeup trends

Autumn-brings school,cold weather and the start of an even colder winter :(       

 BUT there is always a silver lining!-More party's,new trends and that bit closer to Christmas!!!YEY

( it's actually 16 weeks but who's counting?)

Here are trends to go with a fab Autumn wardrobe!

Rich Tones

As the shade of clothes deepen so does the makeup, these tones is perfect for a night out.

Eyes

This is just an example of a few shades,i love the deep blue,green and purple the best for this season

lips

Personally I'm not a fan of lipstick but you could use a lip tint pen to achieve this look.

deep lipsticks can be anything from wine red to plum.
 (note:dont do dark lips with dark eyes one or the other normally looks best)

nails

these are rich shades again but i especially like the ones with a metallic edge.

 Smoked Eyes



The Smokey eye look is almost timeless as it looks good whenever really,but for this Autumn try gold toned shades.Make it softer by applying slightly lighter colours for a more natural look or just go for the
GOLD GLAM
by making more contrast between the shades you are using and defining for a more dramatic look.

Smokey Definition

Make your eyes stand out a mile!-cheesy i know :)

This look is all about lashings of mascara and loads of eyeliner then simply smudge to achieve a thicker line.Simples.

This look is best with toned-down lips like Beyonce's.

Rosy cheeks

Look like you've just walked in from the cold with a pink radient face.

There are a few looks here you can hopefully try!
