Look Slim, Stay Chunky | December 24, 2010

Look Slim, Stay Chunky

I have always been a big fan of the oversized and chunky. That is why I am absolutely thrilled that oversized and chunky cardigans are hot this season. Finally we can all throw those puny little cardigans to the back of the wardrobe and indulge in a more warm and cosy overthrow.

There are no limits on the style, going from knee length to the hip, which is great to hide all those unwanted bulges and indulge in some naughty treats for Autumn/Winter.

To set the trend, wear your oversized cardigan with slimmer bottoms; skinny jeans or leggings tucked into tall boots … Read More »

2011 Hair Trends | December 23, 2010

2011 Hair Trends

We’re not far off the New Year now so we really need to be figuring out what we’re going to be looking for in the style stakes next year. Out with the old and in with the new, our New Year’s resolution is to look, and therefore feel, better than ever.

The first style we came across on next year’s catwalks was a new take on a classic do. The chignon, braided! Simple as that, dry and straighten hair with a ghd flat iron and sweep back into as high a pony tail as … Read More »

Eye Makeup Trends for Fall/Winter 2011 | October 26, 2010

Eye Makeup Trends for Fall/Winter 2011

This image is from the Junko Yoshioka s/s 2011 fashion show at Trump Tower. I kept the look very glamorous, yet simple. Here are some big trends for makeup for fall/winter 2011, and most likely the trends will stay around for summer of 2011 (with some small modifications, of course.)

1. The biggest trend in makeup: focus on the lashes and the top eyeliner! In this picture I have individual false lashes on the model (mainly on the outer corner of her eye). I also used 3 layers of mascara (carefully applied) to really make the lashes look lustrous. I did … Read More »

Dreaming of Marc Jacobs | March 5, 2010

Dreaming of Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs recently showed his Fall/Winter 2010 collection at New York fashion week. The entire collection was absolutely stunning. MJ, who is normally known for the multitude of layers and colours in his collection – displayed a more whimsical and softer side.

His pieces were a multitude of neutrals in varying shades of grey, camel, tan, black, navys and creams. Instead of the collection being one that defines “trends” for the season – the collection was amazingly filled with more classic pieces wrapped up in the most beautiful fur coats and cardigans.

While the silhouettes may have been more classic, the materials … Read More »

Wartime Glamour | February 10, 2010

Wartime Glamour

I love runway shows – they are like art in motion for me. When I watch them, it’s like I’ve been sucked into another world for just a moment. The lights, the music, and the beautiful garments put me in awe – and emotional reactions to some of the shows have taken place.

I’ve been creeping WWD lately and have been sneaking a peak at some of the designers pre-fall 2010 collections. I must say – I have been drooling appropriately. However, one I’m particularly taken with is the Christian Dior collection.

John Galliano is a designer that can do … Read More »

How Strong Are Your Shoulders? | January 27, 2010

How Strong Are Your Shoulders?

It’s a flashback to the 1980′s, powersuits with the reintroduction of strong shoulders. Although this seasons interpretation of strong shoulders is more sophisticated and dramatic ,it still conveys the message of strength and femininity.

The best way to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe is to choose a strong shouldered look in a neutral colour. Stick with black, white, gray or even beige, but don’t try to wear a strong shoulder with an even stronger colour like blue, red or green.

It is the perfect trend for a more formal event or a day at the office.  If … Read More »
