A "New" you?

Hello everyone, sorry for the late posts.
A new one though now, for all of those who are interested..

I wanted to create some tips for creating your own "style". Everyone wants to be unique, right? Recently I have undergone the effort to try and create a new look, new wardrobe and a new "ora" for a (hopefully) new way of life.
Just a quick note to suggest the reasons for this change in me, is that I  needed a change and also I have a lot of studying to do for my exams which are soon, that's why unfortunatley I haven't been able to update this blog regularly. Which is a shame. I know. But, I will let you know that I have had this blog in my mind so many times that I even wanted to start afresh, making it easier to update a lot.. if that makes any sense?!

Anyway going back to all this about style and whatnot! Firstly, find out who you are. This is so difficult and many people actually spend their whole lives working that one out. So, otherwise you can look to who you want to be or aspire to be (and DO NOT base this on somebody else!!!!) and base your new "change" on this "persona".
2. Build your confidence, and be happy with you are. Nothing is better than being comfortable in your own skin. It appeals to other people and overall you'll feel much better about yourself.
3. Look in magazines or old photographs for inspiration, on makeup looks, clothes, or even hairstyles. You could even create a "mood board" or a board on Pinterest.com with you inspiration and throughout your evolution keep focusing on that board!
4. Are you happy? Being happy is the key to being the person you want to be. But remember being happy doesn't require the things you think it requires you to have. Being happy doesn't require 'things'. I found that what makes me happy is being around other people and enjoying life and avoiding the people you don't want to be around or make you feel down, and find people you feel comfortable and happy around instead.
5. Stay focused. Whether its coursework, work, studying for finals.. etc. it's easier to stay on track with your work. Focus on a goal for yourself, whether it's a job, a place.. focus on that one thing! This will help you to focus on your studying if studying or work is required to get you there. For instance, I want a nice house in London so I decided to print off a picture of me 'ideal' house and put on my desk. Every time I see it, it reminds me of why I am putting effort and time into this work, because I need to, to achieve my goal. Don't be afraid to set you goal too high! It could even be a photograph of a family member, a photo of New York, someone you really hate or a photo of a really nice pair of shoes. This should help you, I find it helps me.

Lastly I think you should make a check list. It may sound a bit over-the-top and OCDish? I am not a particularly organised person. I used to be. Making a checklist that has easy and straight forward points to cross off in everyday life, life or maybe even for a project. Whatever it may be I find quickly tapping a few notes into my phone or on a post-it-note helps! Makes you feel as though you need to cross those things off on that list! But don't make the points on your list too general as I find this makes it more tempting to just think 'Oh, I could just do that another time..' If they're straight forward then you know exactly what to do and there's no excuses! Hehe.

I hope this kind of helped you, I really enjoyed writing this one actually. More so that many of the others. I know it didn't quite have much to do with fashion but sometimes the clothes just accents the beauty which underlays. A bit cringey? But I couldn't think of much else! I wish you all well and that you enjoyed this, or maybe it even helped you.

Essentials - Shoes

Every woman desires the perfect shoe, not only elegant and shows off her personality but is affordable and elongates her legs. The most important factor of the reason that a majority of women opt for a flat or a pair of trainers is comfort and practicality. Most designers don't realise this and carry on creating high heeled shoes which can be very painful to wear.
Of course research has been carried out on the side effects of wearing high heels on a daily basis and it's true they can be quite severe. Don't be worried though the side effects should only occur if you wear high heels extensively.

Angelina Jolie - The tourist.

Hey, I wanted to post this video for a few reasons; I really like Michelle Phan - she is a 'Makeup Guru' on youtube. I thought this look was really nice. You could probably tone this look for a more neutral effect to wear every day.
The makeup look is based on Angelina Jolie in the film 'The Tourist'.

If you've seen the movie, or try this look or simply want to say something then comment below!

What to wear?

Stuck what to wear? Have an event or Party to go to and is debating whether to wear a blazer and jeans or a floral summers dress! Well take a look at an outfit that I have put together, this is definatly in-trend and will get you wonderful compliments! Like this? Comment below. New outfit of the day tomorrow!
This ideally is  a day-to evening look.. Everything is from TOPSHOP.

This beautiful summery frock feautures sunflowers, brightening up everyone's day! 

This will dress down you outfit, and gives a more casual yet sophisticated look. 

Wedges give a summery feel and orange gives a splash of colour!

Wear you hair in a quiffed side fringe with a long messy plait falling down, inspired from the Vera Wang catwalk.

Overall this look may be over £100 but definatley worth it. The separate piece can also be paired with other items!

The Royal Wedding guests.

I take a look at the best dressed guests who attended the Royal Wedding.


Although most focus has been been magnified upon the centre of the event, the wedding dress, I take a look apon the guests who attended and what they chose to wear to this once in a lifetime event!

Shown to the right is singer Joss Stone, a close friend of William's. She arrived at Westminister Abbey in a bright magenta dress with a matching jacket and cream hat with magenta peep-toe stilletos and a clutch. Overall I think she looked classy to her usual look, and very polished! Although a sense of her carefree way showed through her nose piercing! The dress is very fitted and comes down just before the knee, conservative enough for the Royal Wedding!

The Crown Princess of Sweden is seen

wearing a fitted peach/nude dress, hugging her body in the right places! With a matching hat and shoes and light jewellery. She is shown next to her husband Prince Daniel who she married last year.

Shown is Posh & Becks (Victoria and David Beckham), the showbiz royalty! Although Posh was pregnant, she still looked amazing with with one of her own Fall 2011 designs to the royal wedding and a Phillip Treacy hat and 6-inch high Chiristian Louboutin platforms.

The whole day was magical, it was said a total of 2 billion, or even more viewers watched the event on TV or online, all around the world. Also 1 million people gathered the streets of London, some whom slept the night on the streets or had gotten up as early as the day before the wedding, just to get a glimpse of the radiant young couple! And a mass of people celebrated either locally or just at home all over Britain and the world!

I wish the couple there best and hope they enjoy their honeymoon which is top secret, not even Kate knows where it is. It is said only Prince william knows!

But who were the flops of the wedding? The ones that dressed slightly.. hmm.. well may I say it? Look up Royal Wedding Worst dressed in your search engine (Google, Yahoo...etc.) to find out!
