I am just immersing myself into the unforgiving world of fashion.

clothes.clothes.style!

argh. I'm loving it.




I've recently noticed an increase in the following: -melancholy sigh-

• Girls wearing mid calf leggings with ballet flats.










• Obnoxious 'hugs not drugs' etc slogan t-shirts {thank you supre.}









• Girls who purposely hoick their boobs up around their chin as if they are naturally like that




• Multiple pastels in one outfit!!!!!!!!!!!









• 'Scene style.' Just say no.




• Badly applied make up. I can't concentrate when I'm talking to someone whose foundation is 10 times darker then their skin. Cakeface.:(.










• Bright neon orange nail polish : Actually, anything neon. And orange skin.










• Teased hair.










• THOSE FAKE SKINNY LEG JEANS BUT THEIR ACTUALLY TIGHTS??? WHAT IS THAT. ITS HIDEOUS, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.









• U.g.g. B.o.o.t.s -feels eyes tearing up- [at home its fine]










• Crocs. -shiver-










• Mandels. : Socks and mandels.










• Hello Kitty.

• Clip.In.Hair.Extentions. Especially if its a different colour from the natural hair.

• Visible belly ring? YUCK. Visible panty line{VPL}? -shudder-








• Shemagh (aka: those checked, two toned scarves that look like mini picnic rugs.) These make me want to throw up, I don't understand why people want to wear such things. I don't even classify these as accessories. Why don't we all just put picnic baskets on our heads and call THAT an accessory.










• Jelly shoes









• White running shoes worn when not running.











• Acrylic nails, or talons, as I like to call them.










• Popped collars when the collar is ridiculously gigantic on an over sized button up. Not poppin.










• Tracksuit pants. Worn at places where people are decently dressed. This disgusts me.









• Flo-rida inspired style. alfha;gsdYGopISYGDH.rage.

In other news:

I spied this Raissa Gerona jumper in the city: $250. I bought it.:D:D:D:D

I went through my wardrobe, donated all the unnecessary things, and purchased a few basic essentials. The essentials of any winter wardrobe (in my opinion :P) are:

-black blazer
-black or tan trench coat
-moto-style jacket
-white/black tees/tank tops
-black & dark blue jeans
-black pants
-black pencil skirt
- LBD {little black dress}
-black tights
-black pumps
-flat black boots
-high heel black boots
-oxfords
-religion pants, but! I don't have the full blown style, I bought a nicer version from sports girl. Not as flowy and more versatile -tick-! Any variation will do(:

These items are like your blank canvas. You work in other items of clothing within the basics. :D

Hmmm the top 5 trends of winter this year?

1.Headbands/Purple accessories!!

This doesn't include the tacky, braided ones which are worn across the forehead like a huge sign. Headbands mean: (see the picture!) See, the model is wearing both PURPLE and in headband form. :)

2. Half sleeves.

Two GREAT examples in the NYFW were advocated by Sass&Bide and Verrier. You can't fail with half sleeves, whether its a more feminine (dress) look by Verrier, or a more bold, outgoing look by Sass&Bide

3. The tuxedo style! -enter James Bond-:

This is making a HUGE come back with the winter wardrobe, so pull out your blazers! One look which I simply ADORED was by Rag&Bone, just look at find the magic.




4. Shine/ Sequins!

Shine and everything will be all fine! [within reason]. Abaet introduced a new meaning to the word 'glamshine'. I am in love with it.

5.
A good coat. Enough said.

The perfect coat is an invaluable investment. Perfect with almost anything, the coat can complete an outfit and take it to a new level.

Remember, these trends are not necessarily meant to be followed, they are meant to be interpreted into your own personal style. This is the best way to create your own style, and working out what looks good and what's in season. But remember, these are simply my opinions. :)

Hopefully you have gained a little bit more of an insight into the fashion world and are now able to STEER CLEAR FROM THE DONT'S AND RAGE FORWARD TOWARDS THE DO'S. But remember, the only way you are fully able to carry of these clothes is with a smile and confidence.
