Fashion quotes I love


"I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it."
— Alexander McQueen 
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."
— Audrey Hepburn
"Fashions fade, style is eternal."— Yves Saint-Laurent
"It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."
— Alexander McQueen
"One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress."
—  Karl Lagerfeld
and finally 

"I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence."
— Yves Saint Laurent

Colour Blocking

Colour Blocking is the contrast of two or more bright colours pulled together in a single outfit. It must be subtile and the colours should be carefully selected, or else you may easily look like a clown. Indeed it is a daring way to dress, but if it is done correctly, it will bright up your wardrobe. Don't be afraid, try something easy at first, like two or three colours, get inspired by Fashion blogs and Fashion Magazine and adapt it to your Style. Trust me, it pays! :)

P.A.S.T.E.L.S.


Pastels was present on the runway for several Fashion Shows and should be a must in our wardrobe, Sometimes only a blue pastels blazer can create a huge difference on a simple outfit, or on a pink pastel dress with a fake leather jacket, the contrast is amazing, trust me. Be daring, which is let be honest here, less dangerous than walking with colour blocking..
So ladies, get yourself something Pastels! :)

NEON is the new BLACK

Hi everyone! This season, the trends are known to be Neon, Pastels, Mint and Tangerine. 

The first post will on Neon, hence the title. Usually when people hear Neon, they picture bright colours in the dark and common designs such as Neon yellow earphones. But Neon has definitely taken the Fashion world by storm. It was on the runway for different fashion shows. 

The good dosage is to wear one Neon statement piece with an outfit, for example, a pink neon clutch with an all-black outfit or a green neon heels with a nude outfit. 

For accessories, only wear neon statement jewellery with a natural make-up. Because the aim is not to look like a Christmas tree, but to follow the trends by being simple and by keeping it cool. 

Below are some pictures of how you could add a neon piece to your wardrobe by keeping it fashionable and original, but without taking too many risks.
