I always marvel at how some women can look so good and clean in white leggings.  I mean, how can they pull it off? Just like nude, white leggings are pretty revealing and not many women look good in them. I usually stick to black or dark-colored leggings.  Do you know that white is the second bestselling color after black? White is the new neutral that everyone is re-discovering.

Just recently, Jennifer Lopez who is known for her daring and attention-grabbing outfits, appeared in her workout outfit in Miami.  She was wearing a tie-dye Myrrhe sweatshirt, coral Nikes and none than a pair of white leggings from Niyama Sol.

Of course, J.Lo pulls off this look effortlessly.  It won’t be long before other celebrities and Instagrammers would start sporting the controversial style.

Smoky Eyes

Tom Ford put smoky eyes back on the fashion map, with this dimensional smoked out eye make-up.  The smokey eyes they crafted this season were elegant and high fashion.  Smoky neutrals on the eyes with a tinge of eyeliner made for a soft monotone palette that oozed understated elegance.

Gold Makeup Colors

Eyes are a big focus this season. A lil bit of gold is a sure way to look glamorous. For the Fall/ Winter 2019 makeup trends, gold eyes were definitely all that, but there was also something a little disco about them. Gold was often combined with darker, smokey outer corners and creases, in big and bold evening looks.

Extreme Winged Black Liner

One of the Fall/ Winter 2019-2020 makeup trends was the exaggerated use of eyeliner, which was applied uniquely to extreme lengths or all over the lid.  This exaggerated winged liner, which actually covered the whole lid before tapering out into a point at the outer corner, seemed beautiful and even soft rather especially when it was paired with elegant updos and headpieces.   This gives the overall look felt a little darker and edgier.

Experimenting with makeup should not be scary or hard. In fact, it should be fun!  So are you ready to embrace the new makeup trends?

Lately, the fashion crowds seem to adore all things nostalgic such as the 90’s inspired denim to flared jeans.  When it comes to handbag styles, there seems to be a resurgence of styles that some of us toted back then, such as Dior’s Saddle bag which has made a comeback this year.   Just recently, Jennifer Lopez stepped out with a cult bag from the early 2000’s – Longchamp Le Pliage tote in croc-embossed leather.

Remember the nylon Prada bags?  Elsa Hosk has been seen toting around an updated version of the nylon Prada tote bag.   Another popular one which supermodels, celebrities and fashionistas have approved is the return of the 90’s / 2000 underarm bag which is known as the baguette bag. This handbag style sits just below the armpit and was very popular 20 years ago.  If you are ready to embrace the best of the bags from the noughties and earlier again, it is time to invest in one now.  Check out the more affordable cult bags below.

How To Style Your Cardigan As A Shirt

Forget the jacket.  The cardigan trend is back and it is the key piece this winter and beyond.  How do you wear this trend?  Well, the current way of wearing it is on its own as a top.  The easiest way to wear this trend is over straight-leg jeans.  Or tuck it into high-waisted trousers for a slimmer silhouette.   A larger cardigan is easier to shift into place and this style makes it suitable for work too.

Style a fine knit cardigan with a midi-length skirt and boots, then accentuate the waist with an understated belt

Consider styling a cardi with cropped denim and sneakers.  You may swap it with kitten heels for a night out.
