Oversize your closet and get comfy. Autumn/Winter 2014

I'm falling in love more and more with the trends poking out this season! It seems that fashion is about to get extremely comfy which, lets admit, does not happen so often. So ladies, get ready to grab the bull by the horn and not snooze this one.

Now you don't only have to feel comfortable at home in your boyfriend's top or maybe that too big and too wide sweater that you have found in your mothers closet, while giving your body a rest from all that pinching from too tight clothes. Now it's the latest fashion , it looks and feels extremely comfortable , but yet it has this fascinating romantic stylish look.

So lets give our tank tops, tight dresses and tight jeans a rest! Give our aching bodies some rest, breathe properly , since nothing has to be sucked in anymore  and get your closet Comfy and Grungy .


These are a few of my favourite looks I have discovered, that are serious must tries :

Isabel Marant 

 

 

Derek Lam, Prabal Gurung and Karen Walker

Autumn/Winter 2014/15 Trends

As it seems, this season offers a quite big variety when it comes to fashion, which gives you an opportunity to create your own fashion sense in what you would feel more comfortable without being labeled as a so called Fashion victim.

Color Trends 

The color Trend is quite wide this time  , covering everything from a bright jewel to a grey mouse  , it includes everything your heart might desire and your mood would prefer : 

Brights colors , Soft tones and Neutral tones. 

 Bright Colors : 

 

 

Soft Tones : 

 

Neutral Tones : 

 

Hair Trends  

It seems that the main hair trend this time would be so simple, that anyone would look beautiful with it , giving you that romantic flawless beauty look.  The trending colors include anything natural looking with a slight red tint to it or a dark blond tone, as long as it looks natural.

And as far for the hair-does, it seems that simplicity is the word .  Let your hair down and just enjoy the wind playing with it, no matter if it's straight, wavy or curly. As well as just a sleek ponytail or a messy up doe.

The key words for the hair : No fuss! 

Beauty 101

This is a simple post, but yet, people tend to forget this when it comes to looking beautiful.

The basic beauty tip I have discovered as a  Make-up artist over the past years : the ton of make up on your face and puffed up hair will make no difference and in fact it might make you look worse, by looking older and more tired.  If the beauty does not come from within ( yes, here you can laugh about how generic this might sound , but it's a generic and most common fact for a reason ) all the expensive products you use, will not rescue you.

Your body, hair , nails etc,  they have to feel relaxed and well rested in order for you to feel beautiful (beauty also comes from feeling comfortable in your own skin) , that means, you need to treat yourself sometimes to achieve it. Which never means that you have to go to Beauty Salons or buy expensive lotions. The best way to achieve your own natural beauty before putting on any make up or clothes, is to Relax and there's no better way to relax than doing it at home in your own comfort zone.

I will divide this topic into several sections , to avoid making it too big and too dry .

                                      Treat your Skin :

For all those people who think that their skin does not have enough moisture, radiance or just needs a lift up. There's nothing better than mixing up some grounded coffee and any oil that you already have at home and simply mixing it up together.

The reason why I'm not including sugar in this list, even though a lot of coffee scrubs do, it does not work for any skin type , it would be up to you to see if it fits your skin type. But don't mix it up with your whole batch , have a test trial with a little bit mixed it. 

 

And if you don't have any body oil or lotion at home, olive oil works wonders as well. This specific scrub gives you quite a lot of option to improvise  on your own and try out what works best for YOU ( like adding ginger, Cinnamon , lemon , sea salt and the ratio of coffee and sugar).

( Coffee is an old trick when it comes to beauty, It's  known for it's rich source of antioxidants, It protects against harsh sun rays, It makes skin smooth and bright and 
It enhances circulation  ) .
