90s r back...

so the 90s are back..for the first time... wow..
Some tips to wear 90s..

if you are over the age of 27... this look is tricky and would keep away from this...

Beginners
reflecting sunglasses

Chic
loose baggy trousers, think mc hammer

Styled
all above with vintage top such as Nike, mickey mouse
loads of brown eyeshadow
heavy hoop earrings or gold gold
been doing your sit ups and no carbs - Crop tops
backpacks
sneakers are back big time!!! like actual sneakers in bright bright colors...


You've been Punked...

No it is not Ashton Kutcher, it is fashion, punk is back baby and it is huge this winter.
I think a bit of punk on everyone, makes anyone seem bad ass/naughty.
Best way for everyone to try this look is with jewelry or with one other item.. tips..


Beginner
Try some nice leather shoes with studs or spikes. Doesn't have to be Black, even neutrals are awesome.



Chic
Wear the studded bracelets, necklace or even earrings..below ladies of the punk night inspirations.
Dark make up eyes

Styled
The studded spiked jacket... leather or parka..even better.. jeans...
these are all available at asos, topshop and I really like the one at jayjays
boyf jeans - torn of-coarse
high high heels
darks eyes and earspike like Siennas..

For the not so brave..dont like spikes as it scared you...
Try black and lots of gold...different types of gold with different patterns....
black blouse with buttons low... dark red lipstick..
as per below..




Punk is also in the attitude.. enjoy it!

Winter Trends for Jewelry...

Winter there are 2 trends for jewelry... Punk V Delicates...
1st we will look at.....



Delicate Jewelry.......
rings, necklaces, bracelets but with chunky watch...
how best to wear this look.. so opposite to Punk...
white skirts, denim.. denim, denim.. and during the day!! very casual hair down...
or during summer with bring colors like Rhi below...
this style will carry you to spring/summer.
Where to buy these.. the usual however go to your local markets for a unique find.... and even layer with your family vintage ring... that your mum or grandma gave you.. customize to you!
p.s please make sure your nails are manicured as a lot of attention will be drawn to your hands...

red lipstick
with gold studs
parka

Shirt the jeans




Jeans shirt
so tricky to wear! How you ask:
during day, not night unless you are in the country
tucked into jeans with chinos
roll up your sleeves for a chic look
are you brave to do double denim do it, but you must wear boots as footwear
if you are over, please wear jeans shirt with white trousers and with scarf
make up very very simple or red lipstick if you are brave, keep pinks minimal
brown bag/boots, black is not ideal
gold accessories but not too much or you will look like cover of J-Lo album - earrings, rings, bracelets on, no necklace!
want to glam it up, wear with white tailored jacket

Why not...

That is my motto when I go out now..
Should I wear this.. but I can't it is too full on.. let's be honest we are not getting any younger..so why do we always think..no I cant do this or that.. or I cant wear that..
I would have never worn a sparkly dress like this before.. but why not.. oh and I wore them with sneakers too.. to a fancy Japanese restaurant.. take that..I want to look overdressed!!!

CoCo Smile...



Chanel, Cats. Chocolate & Coconuts = actual smile

Anyone that knows me, knows that I drink at least 2 litters of coconut water a week..
Sometimes if my bum bum is getting to much trunk I will have coconut water for dinner.. I mean, my cavemen/woman would have loved it right!?

Why drink coconut water...
more potassium them Banana
no fat
did u know that in WW1 they used coconut water as drips
high in zinc - good for skin

so next time, don't have the orange juice and have sm coconut water, fun fun!

How could you walk out of the house dressed like that....




That is what I was told when I wore my ugg boots out in public for the first time.. yes, a stranger came up to me a said this, no joke!
I thought they were really cool, I mean dude, it was Saturday arvo and I was getting a much needed massage!
NO ONE looks glam in Uggs apart from Pammy in Baywatch days..however they are so comfy! I don't care I will wear mine again this winter..!

Black & Night




My parachute dress worn @ Sydney Opera House.. to see the Opera....
10 meters of fabric
75 hours to make
washed 100% black cotton

My glam moment in history... worn with a vintage bag ofcocarse...

Worth the Brush




Mason Pearson are the royce-royce of hair brushes. Hand made in England and last a life time... oh, did I mention the $105 starting price tag!?
I bought a Mason Pearson hair brush for my weeding day to spoil myself as I did my own hair and make up.. and oh, I so wish I purchased this earlier. From the first brush, I was like, wow, my hair feels amazing, soft and slightly massages the sculpt. Seriously, it is amazing!

Hair Gems


So never ending story.. some hair jewelry.
Dolce & Gabanna recently sent their model kitties down the catwalk with crowns on their heads.. if you are not royal brave, then why not some fun hair jewelry.

But when does one wear head jewelry.. ??
Music festivals with hair down, messy with cute dress or loads of denim
At night with a very glam dress and hair up, be bold with your make up too! 
With no earrings, necklace otherwise you will look like a metal christmas tree
at a family function, day lunch


Oldie but goodie



Jumper + skirt = autumn chillax weekend look...
This photo was taken last winter...
The jumper I purchased from kirribily markets for $6...100% wool... check out your local markets for a great bargain!

Spring

Already missing spring... sleeping in the sun, wearing fun dresses.... and most of all the flowers..


Mask it


Glam fun... wear a mask on your next night out.. you will get away with more...
