Trend Report: FASHION #1

Hello everyone! Today in this blog post, I would like to share some of my favorite fashion pieces or trend including accessories that I have seen have been popular lately or ones I've been fond of. I hope you you guys enjoy!!!

1. GRID PRINTS


GRID


1. Velvet top   // 2.. High waisted skirt // 3. Crop shirt //4. A line skirt // 5. Print pants // 6.Short shorts // 7. White pants // 8. Plaid jacket // 9.Dress

Grid prints have been one of my obsessions lately. Although it is a very simple design, it is still very chic and can make an outfit stand out. 

They look great paired with shorts, blouse, t-shirt or cropped tops as they come in plenty of different types of clothing pieces such as tops, shorts, skirts, dresses, sweaters or jumpers and even accessories.Grid pints are also appropriate for many occasions as they can be dressed up or down.




Lately I have been loving all different types of skirts especially the ones that I have pictured above.

1. Slit Maxi Skirts

These add a little more edge to your outfits rather than the classic maxi skirts
2. Skorts
Skorts are a great alternative if you're not a big fan of normal skirts as it still gives off the appearance that you are wearing a skirt.
3. Tennis skirt/ pleated skirt
This skirt is getting very popular nowadays and I can see why as it is such a nice skirt and are many outfit options for just this one piece of clothing.
More tennis skirt links! [ 1  2 ]
4. Envelope skirt
Envelope skirts are great because even if it just a plain colour, the envelope fold adds more detail to your outfit.
5. Plaid/tartan skirt
This skirt is very trendy as the tartan/plaid design is very timeless.
6. Denim pencil skirt
Simple but can be worn for a casual look or dressed up for a party. [1 2]

Although I don't own most of these skirts (for now at least) I think that these skirts are great as these can be styles in many ways if you are going for a certain look.




1.  Stussy Stock Lock Bucket Hat Ralph Lauren cap, Japanese bucket hat,// 2. Circular sunglasses // 3. Neon satchel (I cant find the link but you can find it at Colette!) //4. Cord choker  Chain choker // 5. Hansel from Basel socks,  American apparel sheer socks // 6.Platform boots , Adidas originals shoes,


1.Bucket hats & caps
 These days, bucket hats and caps are 2 types of my favorite hats as I think that they add a nice touch to an outfit and can make an outfit look more casual. Also, it is summer so we must protect ourselves from the sun!!!!

2. Circular sunglasses
I just love the shape of these sunglasses as they are not the typical round shaped ones but have some sort of cat-eye on the sides of the frame.

3. Neon satchel
Like many people, the colour of the outfits I wear tend to be black, white or grey, or just very neutral colours so why not spice up your outfit with this satchel bag? I love the shapes of satchel bags as they look very classic but modern at the same time and they can fit quite a lot of items inside. I also love the colour as it is a beautiful neon yellow.

4. Chokers
Chokers have had an intense burst of popularity this past year, especially the tattoo choker and the cord choker. Personally, I do not think the tattoo choker looks very flattering on me but I do like the cord chokers, but recently I have discovered the chain choker and I absolutely adore it. It is quite a dainty piece but looks quite elegant with the beads attached. The chain is also metal which makes it look even nicer in my opinion. I don't own this particular item just yet but I am planning on getting one.......but does anyone know where I can get one for under $20?? :( Please tell me :)

5. Sheer socks
I think that these socks add a cute touch to your outfits. I would pair them with platform sandals( I think that these socks actually look nice with sandals ) or a nice skirt as they add a cute girly touch to your style.

6. Platform boots & Adidas shoes
Lately, I have been crazy obsessed with shoes and I just want to buy so many but I obviously cannot. The two pairs of shoes that I have pictured above are 2 of my favorites. Platform boots suit many different outfits and it also boosts your height which is great for me and the Adidas shoes look very simple but I think they look great styles with casual outfits.


These are just some of the trends I've been loving but there are so much more so I will probably make a second one soon, and I might also add more links to clothing pieces as i find more online shops that sell them!

What are some trends or fashion items you have been loving? Let me know in the comments below!

FIRST BLOG POST + 2015 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

It's amazing how time passes by so quickly and here we are again, starting a new year! 2014 was quite an eventful year as there many ups and downs but  a new year means a new fresh start and i'm determined to make this a happy year so i have decided to start my own blog revolving around beauty, fashion, lifestyle and more! If you would like to know more about me, click here. :) 

Here are some of my new years resolutions to start my blog!

1. Be thankful
Sometimes it hard to just stop for a minute and remember all the things that we should be thankful for because of our constant busy lifestyles and sometimes it easy to get dragged down because of the negative things A great thing to do is just think for a couple of minutes everyday and write down in a journal all the things that made you smile or made your day better  before going to bed.

2. Be healthy
Very typical resolution right?(I basically say this every year) This year, one of my main aims is to be healthier, not necessarily in the terms of  weight loss (maybe) but for a better lifestyle. Eating more vegetables and fruit and exercising instead of just sitting on my bed and using social media all the time!!!!

3. Try new things
This year, i would LOVE to start new things, I think it is always good to take risks sometimes and who knows, it might turn out better than you expected. ^_^ 


4. Stop procrastinating 
Again, this is something I strive to achieve every year but this year I am determined to beat procrastination!!! For the past couple of years l, i would always delay everything and do it last minute resulting in myself not getting the outcome I desire or not getting the results I believe that I am capable of. 

5. Believe in myself
This is something I've had trouble with for some time and because of not believing in myself, I feel that i miss out on opportunities that could have benefited me so I will try be be more confident about myself and what I am capable of. 


So that wraps up my resolutions for 2015. What are your new year resolution? I would LOVE to know.

To end this post, I hope that 2015 will be a happy and blessed year for everyone and that all of you have an amazing year  and you support me through my blogging journey. 

THANKYOU 


XOXO
