The Colour That Matters

I have been shopping & looking at trends in the stores here in HongKong and the colour that stands out the most is -Mustard Yellow. I decided to get my hands on this dress from Zara. I wasn't quite sure how it would look until I tried in on , but I am so glad I did. The length, material and style of the dress fits perfect! The colour is especially my favourite its earthy & perfect for a summer day!

I love the fact that mustard yellow is not as bright as a plain yellow dress, The dress is casual and the material is the same off a tee, but the cut out sleeves add so much edge and can be worn for many occasions, I paired this dress with my black H&M heels and my Michael Kors bag. I added black accessories to pair up with this dress reminding me off a NY cab.

Purchase your first mustard yellow piece and try incorporating it in your wardrobe,

Make up Look - Blended Crease Eyes + Dark Lips

Before starting a step-by-step guide for this make-up look, This one needs a little bit of patience and practise. For this eye make-up I played with only two shades but it took a while to blend back & forth to get the desired results. 

Eyes- To start of with the eyes , I first used my Maybelline concealer as a base and then applied  a nude colour eyeshadow all over the eyes to set it, I then went it with the browns, I took an angular brush from faces (Its the best one to apply eyeshadow on the crease.) Dipped the brush in a brown eyeshadow and went back and forth on the crease. I smoked out the lower lash line with a dark brown shade as well. 

To complete the look I applied my maybelline hyper gloss liquid liner, Rimmel Glam eyes mascara and Glowmiere Beauty lashes 

Face - I mixed bt tow favourite foundations - Bourjois 123 perfect foundation in the shade -n53 
& MAC face & body foundation in - c3

Lips - Maybeliner - Lip Liner (hollywood)

I skipped blush for this look since I wanted the main focus to be on the eyes & lips but I did apply 2 coats of MAC highlighter (Soft & gentle)

Among Graffiti Walls

Before heading to HongKong I did a little research about street art and graffiti walls, I wanted to shoot some fashion/creative pictures and I found the perfect street to explore, chill and get some shots.

I came across this area Graham street, comparatively to other areas  this one was quite hipster based and filled with expats. I spotted this uphill slope with this colourful street art wall and me and my sister set a little picnic and began exploring and shooting.

Breaking The Rules

Pencil skirts create the best silhouette for a curvy girl' This black one from forever21 is a staple in my wardrobe and the most easiest to style. For this fashion story I went all monochrome and paired up this skirt with a basic white tee. Curvy girls are told not to wear clingy clothes or body fitted skirts. Break the rules girl' Body fitted clothes create an hourglass shape. Flatter those hips and emphasise the waist. There is something so chic about putting up black & white together , that's a combination that works effortlessly.  

To all you beauties out there who hesitate to try new styles , Body confidence does not come from trying to achieve the perfect body, it comes from embracing the one you've already got

Fusion Vibes

A bond between east and west is the best fashion trend when it comes to being creative with fusion wear. I have styled many Misaa More outfits, but this one has to be my favourite. When styling this outfit, the process was getting hectic, I was running out of ideas and ways to style this gorgeous blue and pink maxi. When I hit the 'artist/creative block, I drove my inspiration from the ethnic side of trends. Palazzos are a big hit at the moment & what better way to style this outfit. I went to the mall tried a bunch of palazzos different colours, different fits and I had a winner! I picked up an electric blue palazzo which went perfectly with my divine intervention Missa More maxi. To take the look to the next level I wore a necklace as a 'maang tikka' , added some rose gold touches with a BeBe clutch and Aldo heels.

Maxi- Missa More 

Palazzos - Pantaloons 

Clutch- BeBe

Journey towards the east side, and inspirations will follow. The trends are endless.

Spirit Of Summer

With the warm rather hot temps in full swing , I am back with another summer fashion post, 

Bare those shoulder & dominate those legs. Its all about high slit skirts and off shoulder tops. To my plus size ladies' It can be a tough ride during summer dressing up and choosing styles when you stay away from shorts and skirts , But its summer and its time to say 'buh-bye' to jeans or any form of clothing with excess 'cloth'! This year, is all about giving yourself a sexy and elegant summer wardrobe. My most picked summer outfits revolve around the combination of maxi skirts and off shoulder tops. Its all about substitution. The off-shoulder top is a great substitute if you are not comfortable with sleeveless tops. Its sexy & flirty and can easily be paired up with skirts & high-waisted trousers. The 'Slit' is back and its been creating some 'Leg drama' . I have been loving skirts with double slits, perfect for the weather and the same time looks super feminine. 

I got my outfit together by combining a printed off-shoulder top from stalk buy love with a plain blue double slit maxi skirt from forever21 , beige bag from Lavie , nude heels from forever 21 and accessories from house of accessories, These minimal bracelets and cuffs are so simple to carry off and look beautiful.

If there is a will, there is a way this can apply to the most simplest things in life, I take summer fashion in the spirit of fun , I love experimenting with new trends and create my own wardrobe. If there is 'one' thing that you are not comfortable with there are 'ten' other things you can pull off.

Its all about experimenting , So get out there and have fun this summer
