TOP 10 TIPS – For Your Outfit

Love looking your best, but have no time to keep up with new, fab beauty & fashion mantras? Here’s the Top 10 tips that’ll help you look your best and take care of your outfit style!

For Your Outfit

Always dress for the occasion – there is nothing as off-putting as an inappropriately dressed person.
Do not wear clothes that are not ironed and thus wrinkly. The fashion police will get you!
Go in for styles that flatter your body shape; following fashion trends blindly is simply silly.
Make sure you wardrobe has all the staples – an LBD, well-fitted denims, leggings, linen pants, plain-white-tee, boyfriend-shirt and pencil skirt.
Wear underclothing that is suitable for the kind of outfit you have on. You should own at least one halter bra, one staples bra and some no-show panties so almost all outfits are taken care of.
Try and get used to wearing heels – they give you height, good posture and much confidence.
Unless you are purposely going in for an OTT look, match clothing in a balanced way. If your top is printed/embellished/styled, wear a plain bottom. If your bottom-wear is fancy, keep the top simple.
As far as possible, try out clothes before buying. Outfits don’t always look the same on people as they do on mannequins.
Do not treat leggings as pants!
Always wear clothes in colours, shapes and styles that make you happy. Keep in mind, your clothes are a reflection of your personality!

Ten Tips for Your Dream Dressing room

We all have a vision of that perfect place called our dressing room, adorned in colours of white and pink. My perfect dressing room will have lots of hearts and flowers in it and also fairy lights.

Now you must be think, why I am talking about dressing rooms, well that is because currently I am drawing up a mood board while I’m figuring out the wardrobe design for the dressing room I would like to have very soon. Promise to post the pics as soon as it is done 😉 While doing so, a thought came to my mind that even as we’d all like to live in mansions and mod houses and have a few rooms just for our clothing that may not always be the case. Houses are getting smaller every day and wardrobe design is now all about how best to use limited space instead of being extravagant in terms of size.

So, here is a list of 10 tips to help you all get that dream dressing room, possibly in a more compact space.

Lights – Make sure your wardrobe or drawers have enough light around so that you can see what is hidden in those dark corners.
Separators – All of us would love to have a dressing room of our room. But what might work best is a folding screen that you can use as a separator in order to create a dressing area. Such wardrobe design would strike on a very old Hollywood note too.
Trays – Use beautiful trays to neatly organise your accessories, makeup and perfumes on your vanity table or bathroom shelves.
Dress up your closet – Use bright paint or wallpapers to dress up your closet and give it a cheerful vibe. If your wardrobe is small, use light colors to create a sense of space. In this situation, less is more, so restrict your creativity to maybe just one wall.
Keep your space clean – An organized wardrobe and dressing space will do wonders for your physical appearance and how you dress up. Thus, make sure your space is always organised and things that you are not using for a season are tucked away in your storage area so that you have space available for seasonal clothes.
Sliding doors – If you are tight on space, choose sliding doors over swinging ones. This way, opening the closet won’t require much space.
Shelving System – This method is your best friend in terms of organising shoes, small clothes and knick–knacks. Invest in a decent shelving system so that your clothes are properly sorted within your wardrobe as well.
Labelling – Use labels on boxes so that you are aware of what is tucked in which box and finding something isn’t a struggle.
Folding Techniques – This may take some effort, but get clued up on the fastest, most efficient folding techniques. Store your clothes folded neatly and you’ll thank yourself when getting ready in a hurry!
Lingerie – Keep one drawer or shelve exclusively for your lingerie. The trick to maintaining hygiene and quality of your underclothing is keeping it separate from your other clothes.

5 Tips For Organizing Your Wardrobe

Recently, I have realized that I have a perpetual need for order and organization in my life – both in the intangible and tangible sense. I have come to understand that it is much easier to put your best fashionable foot forward when your wardrobe is neatly organized in a manner that makes sense to you. Of course, when you have put off the daunting clean up for so long, jumping into the task of clearing and sorting your wardrobe can be quite daunting. To help you get through it, I have put together five tips that will help your organize your wardrobe quickly and efficiently!

Out With The Old

Before you embark on the big clean up, it is really important to remove items that you do not wear, because these are simply taking up valuable space for no reason. Take stock of all of your clothes and accessories, removing the ones that have not been worn in over a year. You don’t have to chuck them out – try to sell them on websites like eBay and Depop.

Think About Storage Solutions

It might cost you a little extra, but the money that you spend on good quality storage solutions is well worth it! Invest in items like jewellery cases for your baubles, specialized hangers for belts, shoe storage cabinets and the works. You do not need to go all out and buy really expensive items, but these small details can make a huge difference to the ease of access to your items as well as the life of your clothes and accessories.

Create Specific Zones

I have seen many wardrobes organized by colour, but I personally prefer to organize mine by the type of garments and the occasions they are meant for. Thus, I have separate sections for work wear, casual wear, semiformal fashion and formal clothes. These are further divided into t-shirts, shirts, pants, skirts, shorts and jackets. I find that this style of categorisation makes it much easier to navigate through your wardrobe and put together an outfit.

Fold It or Hang It

Everything items of clothing that you own must be folded or hung – there is no in between. If you get into the habit of dumping items without doing either of the two steps, you wardrobe will return to a messy state in no time. Plus, folding and/or hanging prevents your garments from getting creased or losing their shape.

Use Containers For The Rest

After you have folded and/or hung all your clothes, you will be left with bibs and bobs that can’t go into either section – namely, accessories. Use small and large containers to store items that are similar so that they do not float about and get lost – for example, have a box that is exclusively for scarves, another section for jewellery, a hat box that is only used for hats…you get the gist.
