Fashion Recession.

Did you notice how Opportunity Shops a.k.a. "Op-Shops" have become suddenly cool to the mainstream shoppers after the recession hit the world?

Well yes, recession has greatly affected today's fashion and how people spend their money.. fashion-wise.  Before the recession, I, myself, did not even think about shopping in an Op-Shop. The only time I ever went there was when I was with my grandma (mind you, Op-Shops used to be like truck stops, only there weren't any trucks, but grandmas and old people who don't have grandchildren). But now, in the present time, I have no choice but to give in and actually go in the shop by myself (without my grandma to hold my hand) hoping to find something affordable and decent that I can wear without having that "blast from the past" effect.

Vintage shoes, tops, dresses, skirts, leather satchel bags and layers upon layers of vintage-inspired accessories are the common sight you'll see "fashionistas" wear as they roam downtown with their equally "fashion recession" styled friends. Oh and don't forget the black wayfarers to complete the look!

My point is: Recession has made fashion affordable for everyone and it makes Op-Shops (and grandmas) look cool.

Just a Thought ❤

Lately I've been thinking about fashion and how it has evolved throughout the years, and it may be obvious or not, but the trends are just going around in circles. Like, the fashion today is nothing new or refreshing, i.e. it's vintage..like hello? what does that mean? It means that its something already done before. Then what's with the blonde hair red lipstick? Wayyyy overdone these days. I'm not against it or anything but could this be it? Could this be that fashion has hit a "dead end?"...

..It just makes me wonder what the next big trend is next season,is it something new to the fashion industry or just another trend reinvented? I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.

I ❤ Maxi Dresses

The Maxi Dress. This dress is simply timeless and fashionable. It combines the red carpet look to the just another day at the beach get up without going over the top.

You can dress it down for a carefree look when going to the beach, or dress it up for a super glam outfit as shown by these celebs in the photo.

If you're heading to the beach, team it up with a nice beach bag, big trend setter sunnies and a pair of cute sandals for a fresher look.

The most elegant outfit I could ever think of is the maxi dress as it flows and makes you look taller and slender. So if you're looking for a new look, I highly recommend that you go and buy one of these maxi dresses and see how elegant and ethereal it looks for yourself ;)

Hope you enjoy it,

Spring Fling Fashion.

Ah... spring. Another reason to clear up our winter wardrobes and bring out the freshness of this season's fashion. Spring is all about looking fresh and glowing. So here are some tips to help you

achieve this radiant look.

Alright, first things first!

THE ALL IMPORTANT.. FLORAL DRESS.

Everybody knows that spring is the time for floral dresses, so this season, floral is back! It is all about being bold and beautiful especially with the patterns. For the modest ones, nude pastel colors are the choice.

It is easy to create this look, just wear it, flaunt it, and be confident. To top it all up, wear your hair in bohemian waves for a more natural look.

ACCESSORIES.

Big Earrings, Bangles, and Necklaces

The key to this look is to keep it as simple as possible. If you are wearing a bold necklace or big earrings, do not add more accessories to your outfit as this can overpower the whole look. Keep it simple!

On the other hand, if you are acessorizing your outfit with bangles, try different colors, use bold patterns, and the fun things is, you can wear as many as you like.

Belts

If you are wearing a black or just a one colored outfit, you can immediately upgrade your look by adding a bold colorful belt to give you that instant pick me up look. And also, by adding a belt to any outfit, you can cinch the outfit giving you a noticeable hourglass figure.

Colorful Bags

Colorful bags are a great way to mix up your look as it adds a fresh new vibe to the whole outfit. It is one of the most important accessories as we ladies know because we have to have a bag to carry all our girly knicks and knacks (lipgloss, cellphone, etc.) and at the same time looking insanely fashionable.

Remember, it's not what your wearing, but it's how you wear it :)

Hope you enjoy it,
