Shady Business

You don’t want to be staying indoors, only because the sun outside is too bright, do you? You use a lot of sun block and maybe wear a hat to beat the heat, but what is the other accessory that should be your companion on an outing on a sunny day? Yes! Your sunglasses. Be stylish, be sporty, be practical, put on a pair of shades and walk the streets merrily without squinting.

Don’t lock away the pair of old frames that your mom or dad wore, because Gogos are in again. Anyone wondering what Gogo’s are? They are the big flashy retro pair of shades that our parents wore during the hippie era.

I’ve noticed how modest cute sized pairs of sunglasses were very popular even two years ago. The world of fashion changes so drastically; today shades are considered more hip if they are bigger. I find girls and boys sporting the flashiest sunglasses on roads, university campuses on the way to work, on leisure trips, just about everywhere.

I prefer boys sporting the very chic aviator shades, gives them the sexy suave look. Honestly, hats off to Tom Cruise for showing the world the coolness of flyboys, and Keanu Reeves for proving that pilots are not the only ones who look hot in them. As for us ladies, we look good in whatever we wear; we just have to be careful about the shapes and sizes of the shades that we want to wear. Soften a square face with oval or cat-eyed frames. Add angles to a round face with angular sunglasses such as rectangular frames with soft angles. And if you’ve got an oval face, lucky you, because you can carry off any shape!

 

 

You might want to check out some of these brands: Prada, Dior, Gucci, D&G, DKNY, Bvlgari, Ray Ban, Oakley, Police, Ben-Sherman. These are just to name a few among the many other brands.

Time Check

You want to be punctual and you need it to help you keep track of time. What could look better than a nice watch on the wrist? The best thing about this accessory is that you could sport the most casual brands and still make your wrist look glamorous. I prefer a modest small dialed watch on the hand to keep me company during class lectures or on casual day out with friends. However, big dialed watches are a new trend now. It’s easier to look at the time and of course a wonderful sight to the eye. Some of the classiest brands for the ladies would be DKNY, Gucci, Fossil, Tissot, Kenneth Cole, and Coach just to name a few.

 

Guys look the best when sporting Diesel, Jacob, Calvin Klein, and Chaumet when they want to go for a mafia look with the watch in 18K yellow gold, stainless steel and leather. Sporty guys tend to go for   the dynamic Casio G-Cool watch, which is extremely stylish and remarkably strong, they also have other options among strong watches like Nike, Nixon and so on. If you’re super stylish you might as well go for the all time classics like Omega, Swiss Army, Longines, and Concord etc.

Shoes glorious shoes!

 

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody’s smiling,
It’s so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I’m running late,
And I don’t need an excuse,
’cause I’m wearing my brand new shoes.

~New Shoes-Paolo Nutini~

 

Every time I hear that song I keep thinking Paolo Nutini sang it for me because I can relate to it so much. People say that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” but I say “shoes are my best friend”. Having collected around seventy-five pairs from all corners of the world, I still think I’ve got a long way before I’m actually content with my collection. That doesn’t mean I’m materialistic, that just means that there are too many shoes that deserve to be worn. Stilettos, Ballet slippers, scandals, strap on shoes, wedge heels and more. Leaving the various styles, lets talk about the colors and the patterns! Every shoe comes with a purpose of serving us satisfaction in every occasion. Some help you to cross the street, some help u to show off at a friend’s place, some just bring the bling out of you and some just make u feel like you cant leave the red carpet.

What shoe are you?

You are Barefoot!

I took this test to find out my shoe personality. It turns out that I’m “barefoot”, where I was described as a free spirited shoe lover. I’d agree with the result because I adore shoes: any size, shape pattern or colour.

BAGS

Batuas

You know how they say “too much of something is not enough”? That pretty much describes me when it comes to bags. How can a girl have enough bags? They come in such a delicious wealth of colours, shapes, sizes, and patterns. You really can’t just have enough of them.
I’m a bag-a-holic, and have tried to grab something from all corners of the world to help me accessorize any outfit that I wear. Bags are not only trendy, they are ESSENTIAL. Where else would I keep my makeup, keys, phone, emergency snack, the odd kitchen sink….(well not really, but you get the idea)?
I’m personally a believer of the phrase “the bigger the better” in cases of bags. I’ve often heard people tell me that I could fit into the bags that I carry. But then again big bags don’t generally go with all outfits. You just need to know when you need to bring out that cute sized purse, or clutch bag to match with the pair of glamorous stilettos you’d want to wear in a formal evening.
Honestly, a good bag can make you feel like you’re a celebrity hitting the red carpet.
