BOOT(legging)

Hehe. Bootlegging. Boot(legging) get it?

That time of the year to zip on those boots.

Pair your boots with a good legging. Just stay away from leggings and boots that end up looking like your going horse riding.

Knee length boots are absolutely strange if you're not 1.8m tall.
Shorty? Wear ankle boots. They are gorgeous for the winter and look hot with leggings, don't pair them with jeans especially skinny jeans. Normal boots can pair with jeans, and keep the jean in a dark wash and skinny.

Do boots in a solid colour. Don't go crazy whacking like a cowboy. Cowboy boots are cool though, if in one color. Keep the detail minimal on the boots, unless you want them to be the key item of the outfit, then you can get a pair with studs and zips.

Boots gives that playful edge to an outfit. Pumps are so expected, just change it up a bit. If you have model legs, or normal legs. Boots work.

Boots were made for walking.....

the 'UGH' feeling

I had mine yesterday.

Did absolutely NOTHING with my hair, was just sleek and unwashed. I was rocking my giraffe pyjamas for the day. Put a bit of mascara on to feel better though.

I realised that I needed the unglam. It let me breathe for a bit.

In our society it's important to always look your best, but yesterday I looked like crap, and I was fine. I actually enjoyed it.

I think that everyone needs that 'UGH' feeling. When you feel horrible and tell yourself that it's okay to walk around in your pj's. It breaks the 'I'm always pretty' routine.

Something that's needed, I think.

Putting colour on that face

I know this girl. When I see her, I always cover a chuckle.

Her mom obviously taught her how to apply her 80's style eyeshadow. She ALWAYS has this weird blue colour eyeshadow on, and I'm talking avant-garde, clown style.

Make-up can honestly highlight your features, or destroy them.

If you can get away with not wearing make-up, do it.
If a bit of eyeliner and mascara helps to make your eyes pop, do it.
If you need foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, blush and something for the lips, do it.
Just don't over do it.

It's easy to say that you should choose between a dramatic eye or bright lip. It's very hard to actually do it right - like blue eyes above. The horrible thing is, she is so set in her ways, and convincing otherwise is not possible.

I don't believe that if you think you look good, when its actually bad, you still look good.

Natural beauty, natural make-up is key. It's very subtle.

Throw away that blue eyeshadow ladies. Really look at yourself, and ask yourself if it's really making you look better or clowning you up?

Dresses, in winter? YEAH!

If we are anything alike, well, then you despise wearing pants.
Jeans can pass,
once a month.

Yes, you can rock your summer dresses in the winter months. It's called LAYERING.

First rule - keep the dress colour solid, don't let it look like you should be frolicking somewhere sunny. Purple, navy and grey are great dress colours for winter.

Second rule - add leggings. Preferably black.

Third rule - layer with a jersey, cardigan, coat, whatever works for you. Just make sure that the dress is still visible, otherwise there is absolutely no point.

Overall ideas
-you can pair great boots with this look
-add scarfs for a playful touch
-don't over layer, that ruins everything
-do not do this with a skirt, it looks weird
-wear peek toe shoes

This is really a life saver if you love dresses, its very fashionable. It looks cute and you can rock the sex appeal if done right.

Happy winter DRESSing =)

Inspiration

I see girls daily who do not embrace their femininity.
Women are blessed.
Apart from having boobs and major sex appeal we can wear dresses, and bright colours (without looking weird). We can spend a few extra more minutes on our appearance without being judged.

Embrace yourself. Do your hair in the morning, put on some eyeliner and perfume, shave those legs and floss.

Be the girl that you were made to be.

If you cant rock dresses, it's fine, just show the world that you love yourself, your feminine side and the cleavage you received =)

BE A LADY

Rocking the scarf

Okay, so the worst thing to do is wearing a scarf that's almost your length and makes you look like you have no neck.

Sure you wear it in the first place to keep that neck warm, but looking like a penguin won't help.

There are lots of ways to tie your scarf around your neck. I like to twist the scarf around my neck once and to pin it with a pretty pin or brooch.

Jessica Alba is getting it right with the light weight scarf. Very sophisticated, and it leaves a bit of neck open (okay so she ain't wearing this for winter, but points to her). This look could definitely be done with a thicker winter scarf.

A scarf is an accessory piece, so it should compliment not be overkill.

Happy scarfing =)

Rainy days

Some people don't get it, but even an umbrella can be a fashion piece. Fashion has spread to the boring umbrella - and thank goodness.

Sporting a cute, striped one myself. Believe me, you actually get umbrella compliments.

Gone are the days to just cover yourself, and hair from the rain - Woolworths has a fantastic umbrella collection, with good and affordable prices.

Try going for an umbrella that either makes a statement or that matches your clothes.

Let it rain!

Chilly Winter Ladies - what to do with that hair

Okay ladies, it is winter time

.

Gauteng is freeeezzzzing and the rain ain't doing anything for the hair - but that is no excuse to put it up in a bun or anything remotely close.

Winter is all about rocking fab, gorg, loose flowing, curly hair. The big news is, if you haven't seen, sleek straight hair is yester year. It takes a few more minuts to rock the curly look, but once mastered you will never go back.

My tip is to devide your hair in no more than 5 sections, grab a curling iron or flat iron and curl away. Remember product (mousse and spray) is key to keep the locks locked in. This hairdo goes from day to night and can be changed with a nice accessorie piece =).

Thing about loose curly hair - it drives the men crazy. Nothing like getting their hands in there. It looks hot too and keeps the neck warm.

Remember, your hair can make or break you and your outfit - just do it right.

Happy styling
