Look Of The Week: Road Trip

Hey Fashionholics!

Happy Saturday and just like every week I bring you look of the week.

It's end of spring and I am sure everyone is looking forward to warmer days. Here, in Toronto the temperature is going to rise within the next couple of days and it's the best opportunity to go out of the city and explore new places and beaches and towns. So today I bring how to effortlessly look stylish and feel comfortable on a road trip.

Road trip is always so fun packed with foods, picnic baskets, music player and lots of fun. Since you would love to enjoy the whole trip and want to be comfortable and yet fashionable at the same time you should focus less on chunky accessories and more on functional items. 

So, here are my step by step fashion tips on achieving today's look of the week, check them out.

1. Before reaching for your outfit, start with shoe. If you want to make a statement go for something gold or silver. However make sure it's comfortable. 

2. Messanger bag, larger tote or bucket bag are functional and easy to carry and so these are some of the options you should consider on a road trip. For bohemian inspired look go for fringe, like this Zara bag this summer.

3.  A simple shortsleeve boxy top in light pastel colours is what you are going to look for this summer with  printed comfortable joggers. If you want to make a statement go for solid colours at the top and prints at the bottom

4. Finish the look with statement necklace like this Fringe one below.

The look above is affordablly cheap. Shop the look below.

Look Of The Week: Beach Wedding

Hey Fashionholics!

Look of the week is here and just like every Saturday, this Saturday I brought some fun way to tackle your outfit dilemmas. Since it's hot out there and you are sure to throw or receive lots of party invitation, it's better to note down some last minute outfit ideas or any other wardrobe and style tips from your favourite site. I would suggest Instyle and Who What Wear since they are the best at giving the most unique and mind blowing fashion tips you can ever think of.....

So, fashion lovers what are your plan this summer? Summer is all about beaches, rides and fun at the pool parties and its also the best time for wedding.

So, Today my "look of the week" is .....drumroll....drumroll.....beach wedding.

Got any wedding invitation yet? This summer if you are invited to any beach wedding go for a long sleeve short number and add unique accessories.

Read on to know more about this look.

Check out my tips to be the most unique and stylish wedding guest of summer.

1. While there would be many who would choose halter and strapless dresses in knee length, try a mini dress instead with long sleeve.

2. The more crazy prints the better. But do not overdo it. Go for a statement making printed dress like this Zara mini dress with long sleeves.

3. Cocktail ring sets look cool with anything, try something like this aquamarine or blue if you want to create a perfect match with the setting.

4. Head bands are not only super cute but keeps your hair away from your face. For a windy beach night wedding choose something like the one above.

5. I love clutches that are unique and goes with your dress. Have fun with accessories this summer season by going for something that matches your outfit. Notice both the dress and clutch print looks similar.

6. However both the clutch and the dress have contrasting colour (black and white).....and similar size prints definitely makes the outfit look spectacular.

7. It's ok to go for white even if you are not the bride. The trick is to go for fun prints and embellishments.

8. Flats are for the beach since there might be the possiblility of music and dance all night....I suggest going for metallic flats like the Zara one above.

So, these are the tips for looking your best at the beach wedding without looking better than the bride!!! 

So, let me know what you think about my tips and also let me know in the comments if you want to add any of your tips to this short list.

Look Of The Week: Rush Hour

Hi, fashion lovers!

What's your look of the week? 

As promised I decided to bring my "look of the week" every Saturday and talk about the best way to achieve and steal the look.....

So, today I thought of bringing you something that you face atleast 5 days a week. The look is for those who are currently working, or in 9 to 5 job, or in a formal office and you have to wake up early in the morning to finish your morning task and get ready as fast as you could to reach your work place. It's for all those busy moms, wives, sister, daughters and all those women who get little or maybe no time to dress up appropriately or in a stylish way.

So, The look of the week is.........Rush Hour....or more appropriately I must say that this week's look is to help you dress up when you are in a rush to get out of your house.

Something you need to remind yourself is to plan ahead your outfit and if otherwise you didn't plan yours; go for those items that fit perfectly when you are in a rush. 

Before you check out the list of dos and don't of dressing up when you are in a rush, here are a few of wardrobe staples every women must possess in their closet:  

1. Fitted tailored shirt in solid and basic colours

2. Tailored shirt in different colours, prints, patterns and texture.

3. Feminine blouse to dress up your office appropriate skirt.

4. Plain T-shirt to wear underneath your classic blazer.

5. Knee-length dresses ( the hemline cuts just at the knee which is both appropriate for petite and tall)

26. Straight leg jeans

27. Skinny Jeans

28. Nice cuff or bracelets

29. Nice Functional yet stylish bag

30. Few trendy items

However when you have only five minutes to get ready and get out of your door, you tend to choose the wrong clothes for yourself.

Here is what to avoid when you are in a rush: 

1. Trends that you have never tried

2. Too much tight fitted outfit

3. Too much of slouchy trend is a big no no....

4. earrings that are shoulder length 

5. Flashy or shiny outfit

3. Bags that are easy to carry and has both shorter and longer satchel

4. Comfortable shirt or blouse

5. Only one statement accessories 

6. Your favourite comfortable shoe....it could be wedges or platform heels.

Here is my look of the week.... Read on to know more about this outfit.

Vertical Striped shirt looks great for petite and makes you look leaner and longer.

 If you want to wear less accessories go for print on print look. 

Choose a printed stretchable pencil skirt for your work attire if you want to feel comfortable yet stylish. Avoid full skirt or A-line if your workplace is a conservative one. 

To walk around comfortably avoid stilettos and opt for platform or wedges.

 

Invest in medium size functional bag that had both long or short satchel or go for longer satchel.

Finish off your look with either statement necklace or cuff.

Your makeup should be minimal. Therefore mascara and your favourite lipstick are sufficient.

So, this is my look of the week. Let me know what would you wear when you are in a rush. And also let me know whether you like this week's 'look of the week'.

Look Of The Week: Meeting His Parents

Hello!!! Fashionholics! 

It's weekend! Starting today every Saturday I am going to bring Look of the week. 

What you are going to find here is an easy solution to what you would be wearing to a particular occasion, event, on weekend or just on a casual day. 

So, today, "my look of the week" is.......drumroll.....drumroll......."Meeting His Parents" 

So, many of us who are meeting our date's parents have encountered this situation of fretting over whether to go conservative or dress up according to what your boyfreind thinks is right. Well, some of us would go extreme and dress up like plain Jane to impress his parents. On the other hand there are rest of us who do not care about whatever people think and would bring out the inner diva by opting for something unexpected! So, what happens in the end either we end up being overdressed or underdressed.

 Do not fret it's time to take the matter in our hands and bring about a permanent change in the way we all dress up when meeting his parents. 

So, I take it as a challenge to come up with a style solution for all the Fashionholics out there.

So, the first question you ask.........

Should I go for conservative?

My answer: Yes, but with a touch of modernism

Second question you ask.......

Should I go for trend or basic?

My answer: Balancing both

Your Third and final question might be......

What should I wear when I don't know how his parents are or what they prefer?

My answer: timeless pieces with a touch of your very own style statement.

So, I am here to give fashion advice to those of you who are invited to meet your boyfriend's parents for the first time. Well, the situation is pretty pressurized for those of you who do not know the place where you would be meeting them. 

So, my step by step fashion rules are: 

1. A timeless peasant style blouse in solid colour is perfect

2. Too many bracelets and accessories are distracting, so a big no no.

3. A statement necklace is a yes! Make sure it's not clashing with your top....you want it to be visible.

4. Since midi pencil skirts are feminine and conservative,it's an appropriate choice.

5. Mixing prints are fun! Go for a printed skirt and printed bag like this polka dot one below.

6. When choosing your shoe go for basic colour like black, white or brown in comfortable material 

7. If you are on the shorter side, prints that are vertical are mandatory for you ( check out the skirt below) 

8. To be on the safe side contrasting colour always works than clashing one like this yellow skirt and Crimson top.

9. Remember that platform elongates your leg and are comfortable to walk around.

10. Add your own style statement....it can be orange lips, polka dot bag, moto jacket...etc.

However if you are not a skirt person, go for dress pants, cigarette pants or even culotte, the trick is to balance one trendy item with a timeless one. Always go for heels until you know that the place you are going to meet them is an outdoorsy one. Finally the biggest and the most cliche fashion tip is known by all of us....it's to be yourself and smile. 

So, this was the very first look of the week....hoping to hear from you soon. Let me know what you like about this weeks "look of the week" and also what other "look of the week" you want me to blog about.
