10 SECRETS of an ideal wardrobe

1. The higher the heels the better! (heels give you diversity - high heels can suit anything from formal suit to casual denim outfit)

2. Size and fit are important (pay attention to the balance of your figure & proportions)

3. Classic rocks! (Trench coat - Leather jacket - Little black dress- Neutral colored shirts and t-shirts: It’s always good to have them!)

4. Play with colour! (DON’T fill up your closet with pieces of total black color! Be Vibrant!)

5. Invest into basic things first. (Brooch, scarf…accessories!) 

6. Find a perfect-fitting pair of jeans (focus on a good pair!)

7. Be careful with vintage clothes  (the older the piece the more different the size measurement & proportions are. So, you need to try everything)

8. Make your imagination fly. (Experiment with belts because they can change the silhouette. Don’t forget about brooches, scarves, kerchiefs and other stuff)

9. Don’t make fuss. (Usually we decide on buying a piece within 3 first seconds from the moment we see it. It’s too little. Take your time!)

10. Break rules! (Make an accent on something that will show your inventiveness!)

Trend Alert! Cat-Eye Shades

Hey Girls! 

The sun is out & it's time to invest in some cool shades! If you're not already aware...This Spring/Summer's hottest eye wear trend: 

Cat Eye Sunglasses

Immortalised by ’50s starlets like Audrey Hepburn and Bettie Page, a cat’s eye lens is an instant short cut to the glam, retro look that’s heating up as a major trend this season. Various models to choose from, in different colours & decor. And when it comes to the cat eye trend, PRADA does it best ! Check out the new Spring/Summer eye wear collection from Prada! :)

casual combos

C A S U A L is the dress code that emphasizes comfort and personal expression over presentation and uniformity. Blue jeans and a T-shirt have been described as the "casual uniform" BUT nowadays we all know that it goes far beyond this.  Pop diva Madonna introduced a great deal of lace, jewelry, and cosmetics into casual wear during the 1980s !! :)

A lady wants to look chic yet comfortable in what she wears in her daily schedule.  Nowadays, the casual look is elaborated with jewelry and luxurious materials, add an oversized clutch bag & wedges... and we’re good to go! ;)

Here are some casual combos to give you an idea of what you can wear to be comfy & stylish at the same time. Very ideal for this time of year...! Love the combinations & colours !! Pay attention to the accessory add-ons ;)

floral straight pants & tee

light yellow blouse + white pants + stripy heels

teal plated dress + brown country boots + white denim jacket

black & gold + black nail polish + flat sandals

denim trousers + floral print vest & striped cardigan - bright orange touch

beige, browns & light pink + printed bag

the wedge espadrilles

denim + printed top

the smart-casual  - navy shift dress

teal short pants, plain white top + browns

the oversized satchel, country boots + white short pants

the comfy flat pumps + light pink & grey

Trend Alert! + new collections in stores

TREND ALERT !! This Summer must-haves: Espadrilles

the earthier alter-ego of the more refined wedge sandal has made a dramatic come-back. With its raw, unfinished edges looking appropriately trendy paired with spring’s bold and breezy wardrobe; so snap up a pair or ten to take summery strides in!
