Winter Essentials: Waterfall Coats



A must have item for this Winter is the waterfall coat. I am completely obsessed with them currently. The waterfall coat is perfect for those of you who love long coats, but don't live in a place that is really cold in Winter. Below is a selection of gorgeous waterfall coats for you to choose from. Waterfall Coats 2

When choosing the right coat you need to consider your skin tone, body shape and height. When picking the right colour try to find a tone that is the opposite of your skin tone. If you have fair skin consider a darker toned coat, and if you have a darker skin tone, consider a lighter coat. If you are trying to add curves choose a coat that has a belt or tie waist. If you are short try to avoid wearing a longer coat as it may make you appear shorter. As always to finish off here is a little styling inspiration.

Get the Most Value Out of Your Wardrobe

Get the Most Value Out of Your Wardrobe Header




Hello beautifuls!
It's time for a little advice.

The Next Season Rule:
Ask yourself: Will I wear this next season? If the answer is no, do not even bother spending a lot on the piece. There's no point in buying a piece, particularly if it's $300, if you're not going to wear it in 3 weeks time. Consider buying items that you will be happy to wear the next season as well. If there's an item you've already loved for two seasons already, chances are you probably won't be a fan for much longer. So it's important to consider the longevity of pieces.

Let me see the money:
If you keep all your clothes in an immaculate condition, then this tip is for you. Once you no longer want an item sell it. Whether this is on ebay, Facebook, or whatever avenue you prefer. This is a wonderful way to earn back some of the money. We know you'll use that money to buy more clothes. If you haven't worn an item in the last 6 months consider adding it to your sell or donate pile in your Spring clean.

Black is the new black:
Black is an incredibly versatile colour that is easy to style. Especially when it comes to shoes and bags, consider buying in black. This way you have so many more options in your wardrobe.

Organise your wardrobe:
One of the biggest mistakes that can be made is having a messy wardrobe. Unfortunately with this, we tend to forget what we actually own. Organisation will help avoid this, so you can make the decision if you really do need another pair of pointed toe heels.

Quality:
Invest in pieces that will have longevity. You really do get what you pay for. Know your brands and the quality they produce. Spending that bit extra will be more beneficial in the long run, and your bank account will thank you for it.

Twins?:
When shopping for new pieces make sure you don't have anything similar. You want your wardrobe to have as many options as possible.

Have a wonderful week beautifuls.

Boohoo Sale Edit

Hello beautifuls!

There's nothing I like more than a a sale, and Boohoo has 25% till midnight. Keep reading to find out my top 5 style picks and how to style them.

Side note: I have not been asked to promote Boohoo, these are just my honest selections and opinions. 



This white bodycon dress is such an essential wardrobe piece. It's such a basic and easy to style piece, but will small stripes to add an element of texture. This can be styled two ways: keeping it simple or hello colour. Keep it simple with some statement earrings or a cuff, add a black clutch and some lace up sandals (pictured bottom left). To style with colour, add choose a statement necklace, some coloured heels and a patterned clutch (pictured bottom right).

Boohoo Sheri Round Mirrored Sunglasses $16.00 (With 25% off: $12.00)
I am obsessed with these sunglasses. Round shaped frames usually look best with square, oval or heart shaped faces. These sunglasses are another piece that is really easy to style, whether you are just about to hit Summer or Winter. I'll be styling these with our next item, as they are made for each other.




These pants will be your statement piece, so make sure everything else is simple. Styling with other black pieces and accessories will be really effective. Embrace hippie and festival styling with this look below. Adding a metal belt like the one below, will help break up the hippie styling and a festival element.

A tasseled skirt is a perfect wardrobe item for Summer. Choosing one in black makes it a more versatile item. When styling a tasseled skirt it is guaranteed to be your statement piece. However you can style it with a statement necklace or earrings, as there will be enough space between statement pieces. Below I have taken some Summer and festival inspiration by adding a haltered angled crop, body chain, patterned clutch and some simple black sandals. Adding something like an angled crop will add another dimension to an outfit.

It's time for a bit of preppy. I purchased a skirt from Boohoo in this fabric a while ago and it has been one of my favourite items ever since. The colours are absolutely gorgeous and the fabric DOESN'T NEED IRONING. Yes that's right, the lazy girls perfect preppy fabric. Hopefully it will be the same with this dress. When styling this dress stick to necklaces that sit higher and create a V shape to work seamlessly with the sweetheart neckline. When choosing colours to accessorise with, always pick a colour that is used the least in the fabric and bring it out. In this case it would be the cornflower blue shade. Below I've tried to keep the styling feminine, elegant and with a touch of colour. This is a perfect look for Summer.
