A Guide to Living Like a Celebrity in 2020

December 31, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Ever wondered what it would be like to live like a celebrity? Maybe as your favourite singer or actor? Well look no further, in this guide we’ll look at ideas you could implement to do just that. 

Even if it’s just for a short time, everyone can live like a celebrity by following these helpful hints and tips. 

Book a Luxury Holiday

Why not try a destination you wouldn’t usually go for? You don’t have to spend big to get a luxury holiday. Take a cruise, for example; you can find some fantastic deals on luxury cruises. Holidays with Celebrity Cruises offers exceptional culinary experiences, top destinations and the world at your service. 

If that doesn’t give you the celebrity experience then nothing will. Imagine it; you’re on a lavish ship being ferried to some of the world’s most exclusive destinations while being treated like royalty. That would definitely be classed as living the high life! 

Drive Luxury… on a budget!

You’d be surprised at what luxury car deals are out there. You don’t need to be a millionaire to drive a car that oozes style. After all, new doesn’t always mean better, and this is especially true when it comes to cars.  

You can even get a luxury car on finance, where you pay a set monthly price. You could bring home a BMW or Jaguar that sits on your driveway or curbside! Do the calculations and see if you can stretch your budget, as nothing makes a statement like a swanky car – new or used!

Mix-up your Style

This one is pretty simple. Have a look at your wardrobe and then compare it to some of the clothes your favourite celebrity wears. Can you take any tips off them? 

Go unique. Go outrageous. And you don’t have to blow your budget on designer clothes to do this. Check charity shops or places like TK Maxx. You’ll find a treasure trove of brilliant items on sale that could mix-up your style. Charity shops often offer some great vintage pieces that will make a statement. 

According to Elite Daily, 80 percent of fashion is wearing something outrageous and just saying, “This? Oh, this is fashion.” So why not do just that? All the celebrities are doing it, why can’t you? 

Look Polished for Less

Never be afraid to go high-street to get your clothes and makeup. You can grab some great high-street makeup and beauty products for very reasonable prices these days. And they do just as good of a job as the expensive brands. So, you can always look great for less. 

Appearing clean and polished is an inexpensive way to look classy! Hold your head up high and be proud of the way you look, like your favourite celebrity does. 

And Lastly

Be confident! Dress in your new style, take some selfies of your getaway and post them to social media. If you want that celebrity experience, then go outside your comfort zone. It’s your life, live it.

How Can I Update My Fashion?

November 27, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Dressing can be more of a headache than we realize. You might have an event to attend or meeting with friends, but nothing you put on works. Our clothes are important to us and you want to look good. It’s difficult to find our fashion sense when lost on where to look. Your closet is outdated with clothes you’ve kept since the wedding or back in high school. Now, you’d like a style and your current clothes are no longer doing it for you. Here are some ways to update your fashion.

DIY

Years ago, everyone what running to wear a certain brand name that appeared on their clothing. Today, it seems we’re in a world where everyone wants to create their voice through their outfits. Styles are being created with mismatch particles of clothing many of us thought never went together. Try your own do-it-yourself fashion if that’s what makes you happy. No one said you had to fall in line with a fashion trend. You might consider adding gold beads to your wardrobe. That is always a classic look.

Online

It’s best to use the internet to look at different styles of people that either look like you or have the same body. Too many of us spend time looking at clothes that fit perfectly on someone else. Yet, you know the outfit you’re staring at won’t get past your hips. Browse online to find clothes that catch your eye. Do searches on what’s fashionable for your body and skin tone. This is a great help when you don’t have the skills to match colors. Research what goes with certain shirts or pants. You may find some articles of clothing just don’t go together.

Friends

Find and talk with that friend who always seems to look great in their clothes. Ask them to help you with your fashion style. They probably can take you shopping for those perfect outfits that work best with your look. Let them see the inside of your closet. This way they can assist in helping you throw away clothes that simply don’t work for you anymore. These types of people can help you reshape your entire wardrobe. Call them before going to an important event where peers might be present. Make sure you send a photo of what you plan to wear. Listen to their tips, so you can at least dress without making additional fashion mistakes.

Magazines

Magazines are a great resource for getting in touch with trends or the latest fashion. Though you may not look like the models, you can get some good ideas for outfits. Use as magazines that feature high-end clothes, casual, or for the home. Download a magazine application so you can refer back to it when thinking about what to wear. You’ll be happy you have this quick access to a fashion outfit when in a hurry.

These are some of the ways to update your fashion. Go online and look at different images of people wearing clothes you are attracted to. See how they wear each article of clothing and how they match. There are a plethora of photos to examine online that match your tastes. 

Consider do-it-yourself style when looking at fashion. Create your trend as many are today. Find clothes at the thrift shop that are a little more outrageous. It is possible to create your style instead of following others. Work with friends who have a good eye for clothes and know how to match. Let them guide you into another world of fashion you didn’t know about. Magazines are a great source to flip through either at the library or download an app. This way you sift through different looks that appeal to your type of hair and skin tone. Use these steps to update your fashion in no time. Let them give you the courage to either be the new trend or get a lesson in matching clothes. 

Not all of us have the right fashion sense as others. However, it never hurts to learn what types of fashionable clothes work with your body. Knowing how to match clothes makes shopping a lot easier. This way you’re not constantly asking people for help and allowing them to determine your style. Stick with these basic steps, and soon you can redo your entire closet.

A Complete Style Guide For an Office Party

June 20, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Office parties are the perfect occasion to let your hair down and have some fun at work. Whether it’s the annual Christmas or Diwali party or a drink with your colleagues to celebrate a deal, times like these give you a real window of opportunity to express yourself, especially when it comes to your sense of style. The gathering is not only a reason to blow off some steam but also to make a lasting impression outside of work. Whether you’re having a party at the office or celebrating success at your favourite bar, dressing well will help you stay on top of your game. Dress to impress with our curated office party style guide.

Outfits

The first step is to decide what you’re wearing. Tricky, we know. Here are some styling ideas to put together a dazzling ensemble.

 

  • Choose Your Attire Based on the Occasion

 

If you’re having a get-together Diwali party at the office, sport an elegant kurti for women. Accentuate your look with a pair of silver oxidised jhumkis and a pair of beaded kolhapuris for a traditional touch.

If it’s a Christmas party, get into the spirit of fun and merriment. Keep things simple with a quirky green and red Christmas sweater over your white shirt and a pencil-fit skirt. Add some funky Christmas-themed accessories into the mix and give an otherwise formal work outfit a casual, breezy touch.

 

 

  • Keep it Business Casual

 

If you’re heading out with colleagues to celebrate the success of closing a deal, it’s important to dress the part. For a cocktail party, opt for a silk or satin gown. The fabrics will add an air of sophistication whilst keeping your look professional. Add finishing touches with dainty gold jewelery and a pair of neutral pumps.

If it’s a casual get-together at a bar, dress in an outfit that you can take from day to night. Keep it smart with party dresses in solid colours. A classic LBD, when paired with a cropped blazer, can work as a major power look. Ditch the blazer for the party to create a chic, effortless look.

Hair and Makeup

Once you’ve nailed the outfit, the next step is to focus on hair and makeup.

 

  • Party Casual Looks

 

When putting on makeup, keep it minimal. A nude lipstick with rosy cheeks will work with most outfits. This will give you a natural flush and add a classic, chic vibe.

Let your hair undone with a basic middle parting. If you want to look extra corporate-chic, gel your hair. Short-haired women can opt for beach waves for an edgy touch.

 

 

  • Glam Up Looks

 

When meeting high-powered clients for a cocktail party, your look can be more experimental. Choose between dark smokey eyes and bright scarlet lips. Don’t end up doing both though; you’ll just end up looking over-the-top.

Go with a simple up-do that will complement your look. A sleek low bun with a party gown is a glam but elegant look. A half up-do like twisted braids and flowing hair at the back is perfect for a more understated, fresh look.

Now that you have the best styling tips for your office party, charm the pants off your colleagues and unveil your fashionable self!

The Unforgettable Bohemian City-Break: 2 Outfits to Make Your Travels Dreamy

August 11, 2016 by 2 Comments

There is something charming and adventurous in a city break away from home, even if by definition such trips are short in length. They are almost always spontaneous, challenging, romantic and full of amazing surprises. Discovering a new city, a new culture, style, and getting immersed in a strange and unique environment, getting a taste of a place’s most cherished landmarks and entertainment facilities – all make a city break a fun adventure to embark in wholeheartedly.

Some cities, however, and mostly the ones on the Old Continent, are also romantic by nature, compelling you to dress appropriately for the occasion. If you are a bohemian at heart, and you plan a quick getaway in an old, fabulous and romantic city in the world, these are two boho outfits you should consider taking along.

1. The Boho-Chic Bardot Dress

Worn by famous silver screen diva Brigitte Bardot, the modern Bardot boho dress can accompany you no matter where you go. Stylish and feminine, comfortable, sexy and sporting a retro flair to die for, you can style up the Bardot dress any way you like. Why is this perfect outfit to take on a bohemian trip?

-It is comfortable (as all boho dresses feature natural, soft and skin-friendly fabrics such as cotton, silk, chiffon, velvet, wool, etc.) and thin enough to allow you to walk and sightsee all day long in summer.

-It is feminine and sophisticated so you can wear it during the day visiting museum, or at night, attending a local party, having a romantic dinner or taking an unforgettable walk under the moonlight.

-It makes the perfect outfit for your packing light plan and can be styled up with virtually any type of accessories (thus allowing you to carry less piece of jewelry or even footwear).

2. The Short Jeans and the Boho Shawl

One of the main rules of the boho fashion states that you need to wear at least one crocheted or knitted piece of clothing. If you are planning for a city break, a nice thin crocheted shawl and poncho will take you everywhere, in any climate or local weather conditions. It can be perfectly layered together with a pair of short denim jeans, and a comfy pair of slouchy distresses ankle boots – they are perfect for vacations, and they make you look boho perfectly while they keep you safe no matter the weather conditions you encounter.

If you choose a boho outfit including trousers and not skirts or dresses, make sure you don’t forget the feminine, sophisticated boho touch:

-Wear a headband, a wide-brimmed straw hat, a silk scarf wrapped around your head, flowery hair pins, a bandana and so on.

-The tomboy look can always be softened by the use of boho-style jewelry and accessories, including stacked bracelets and necklaces or even stacked rings. There are some very specific rules when it comes to stacking jewelry, and you should follow them closely to achieve a perfect city break boho look.

When you want to pull off a stylish, chic boho look, keep in mind to wear neutral and earthy colors and hues – they are the main staple of this fashion style. Go anywhere from warm shades of brown, greens, reds, pinks, blues and yellows and make sure you wear the colors that fit your skin tone and personality best. While traveling, you can also pick a hobo style bag or a tote in cotton to complete your romantic boho attire.

1. A Pair of Nude Flat Strappy Sandal

If you are headed to an exclusive beach resort, an old European capital or a safari adventure at the end of the world, a pair of nude summer strappy sandals will be your best friend. Nude shoes in general are a girl’s best companion as they match any type of outfit and they make your feet look longer and slimmer.

  • Tip for picking the best sunglasses: always choose your sunglasses according to your face shape. There are plenty of tips to find the pair that looks great on you!

3. A Pair of Lever Back Pearl Earrings

Pearls are exquisite, feminine, discrete and sophisticated. They go with sporty outfits styling them up, with casual urban outfits, giving them a note of elegance and with chic stylish clothes. After all, a vacation doesn’t mean endless mountain hiking.

Even if you spend a week in a beach resort you still need to style up to attend a concert, have dinner in a restaurant, take part to a local event and so on. Pearls rise up to all expectations and match all types of clothes, enhancing your natural beauty and adding a dash of femininity and sophistication to all possible attire.

  • Tip for picking the best pair of lever back pearl earrings: Choose a pearl color, hue and overtone that match your skin tone, as the pearls’ purpose is to highlight your best features. Take a look at the tips and recommendations on PearlsOnly to learn how to choose the perfect pearl jewelry.

You probably know this already, but any trip of any type requires a stylish hat. You can style up any jeans-and-tank-top outfit with a modern straw fedora. A laidback straw panama hat goes also great with summer dresses and outfits that involve wearing short or long trousers. If you are the bohemian type of girl, a wide brim feminine beach or city hat will keep you protected and stylish. If you feel a tomboy at heart or your destination involves a sporty military style outfit you can also wear a bandana, a military cap or a newsboy style of cap. Have fun in your travels and enjoy a fabulous summer vacation!

Family Easter Outfits at Kohl’s

March 28, 2015 by 5 Comments

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe, and with Easter looming, it’s a great reason to drag even the most resistant men in your life out for at least a small upgrade, true?  We recently headed to Kohl’s to see what we could find for both of the men in my life to wear for the holiday this year.  The smaller one is usually pretty compliant, it’s the bigger one that can be somewhat of a fighter, lol. They both agreed, however, on getting new pants and nice shirts.  We got them things they could wear not only on Easter, but for future events.

20150314_135829Now that I look at it, it seems they are almost matching, though not intentionally- one blue on top and beige on the bottom, the other reversed, ha. My son decided he wanted to go in shorts (can you tell we’ve had it with winter and he’s looking forward to warm weather?) and my husband decided to get new jeans, which he could use. They both picked out their outfits without the other one seeing- my son was with me, and the husband was in the men’s department all by himself- I was amused when I saw how similar their selections were when we met in the boy’s department 😉

Endless Jewelry introduces the ENDLESS LOVE COLLECTION

January 26, 2015 by 12 Comments

Every woman is unique and different, so why give her a cookie-cutter, run-of-the-mill gift?

valentine's day gifts

Endless Jewelry introduces the limited edition ENDLESS LOVE COLLECTION – unique and contemporary love-infused charms to show some LOVE in a customized and very special way.  I personally am in love with these bracelets- so pretty, unique, and customizable. They are also soft and warm on your skin, and don’t jingle- which is different then nearly every other kind of jewelry out there.

“Every woman has a distinct sense of style when it comes to both love and her jewelry choices,” says Jesper Nielsen, CEO and Founder of Endless Jewelry.  “Our new Endless Love Collection offers a modern, yet totally sentimental, and very ‘gift-able’ option to find something the special women in your life will truly love and claim as her own.”

endless love bracelet

It’s easy!  Just head over to the website, choose the color of the bracelet you think she will like best, and how many times you want her to be able to wrap it (one, two, or three times around her wrist).  Then you choose from the available charms, which are available in gold or silver (some also in rose), to reflect her personality or remind her of a memory you share.

Pack Light With Land’s End

July 27, 2014 by 7 Comments

Disclosure- Some of the products in this post were given to me in order to facility this review, others were my own.  All opinions are mine and honest.

6 20 14 and waterparks 217Recently, we went to Europe for a few weeks.  I had to pack light, and be able to make what I packed count.  No one wants to be lugging many suitcases around, and it’s best to make everything that you bring able to mix and match, getting the most from each garment. One of my favorite places to shop has always been Land’s End, because clothes are versatile, durable, and long lasting.  They are also great with exchanges, so if you don’t like an item it’s easy to return- even if you have worn it. I love that about a brand, because so often you don’t know how things will fit or wear properly until you actually wear them.  Catch 22, but Land’s End makes it easy and worry free.

Norway, Packing, Products (canon small cam) 033I exclusively packed Land’s End clothing for my trip.  With the exception of my sneakers, walking sandals, and bathing suit, it was all Land’s End, all the time.  Sticking with the brand made it easy, since all the colors matched, the fabrics worked well together, and I really do like the durability they commit to for travel (and everyday wear as well, but I can be abusive to things when I travel).  I chose to stick with the primary colors of navy blue and black, with colors and patterns that matched the basic items I already owned or purchased.  I was also given several new review items from this season’s new line, which complimented what I already owned beautifully. All of the items are well made, pretty, easy to wash and wear (even on the go), and fully functional as well as classically stylish.  Very easy to love, and the reasons why I come back to Land’s End again and again.
