Button Front Denim Skirt

So recently I got myself a button front denim skirt from H&M. It has an A line shape. Do you know that the denim skirt is back in fashion. It used to be the staple of 70’s fashion. The denim skirt is so versatile and goes well with almost anything.  I think everyone should have one in their wardrobe.  What is your favourite denim skirt style?

Zara Spring/Summer 2016

I am so loving the latest Zara collection for Spring / Summer 2016.  I love the mustard yellow shades and I think I should get myself a few pieces of clothing in that colour.   Stripes are still around and show no sign of tapering off.

Flare Jeans For 2016

I have been seeing some flare jeans at the stores lately. Are they making a comeback? Are you a fan of flare jeans? Well frankly, I am not. I prefer straight cut jeans or skinny because they make me look slimmer.   When you are wearing flare jeans, it is best that you put on your heels.  Clog shoes look great with flare jeans too.

So would you kick your skinny jeans away and opt for flares?

Nail Art For The Weekend

So the last few days were busy for me as I have a party to attend this weekend.   A musician friend of mine is celebrating his birthday and we have asked him what he wanted for his birthday.  He told us a few thing that he really like at GC NAMM so we have been looking around.  Besides that, I was also checking out some nail art designs as I want to paint my nails for the party this weekend.   I have narrowed it down to the ones below :-

Unique Top for Women

I came across this rather unique top at one of the online stores.  It is a white chiffon top with pleated collar. What caught my eye is the black collar.  I love the design of this collar.  The colour black stands out from the white top.  I am sure this top looks great with a pair of black culottes or denim.

What You Need to Consider When Choosing Garden Furniture

Your garden is a massive asset to the home, and you need to treat it as such. That means turning it into somewhere you can hang out and enjoy yourself. So it’s important to get plenty of garden furniture to help make it a little more homely. Here are some of the important things you need to consider when you’re choosing garden furniture.

What are They Made Of?

When you’re choosing furniture for the garden, you need to make sure you consider what it’s made of. It needs to be durable and weatherproof, without being too much of a hassle. So take a look at the range of Rattan garden furniture on offer to get ideas. You need to think carefully about the material and how it will be affected by being outside. You are going to be spending money sorting this out, so you have to make sure it’s something that is going to be a worthwhile investment

What do You Need?

The most important thing to think about is what sort of furniture you need for your garden. The way you do this is by considering what you will use the garden for. The standard types of garden furniture will be practical things like a table and chairs, perhaps an umbrella, and some seating. But then you need to think about other things as well. For example, you need to be aware that the garden is a very social part of the property, and you might want to have barbecues or garden parties. If this is the case, you need to ensure that you have a relaxation area with plenty of comfortable furniture. You might even consider getting a gazebo for the garden as well!

How Much Space do You Have?

It’s important to think about how much space you have in the home. This is something you need to give a lot of thought to when you plan for garden furniture. If you have a tiny garden then there’s no point getting large furniture. At the same time, if you have a huge garden, you need to have a fair amount of furniture. You should have some stuff that’s practical, and other pieces that are just for leisure. Think about the space you have; you might even want to make measurements before you get started. It’s essential to get this part right before you get started. If not, you’re going to find yourself with furniture that isn’t right for the garden.

Are the Pieces Versatile?

Another question you need to ask yourself is how versatile the pieces are. And this means what you can do with them. The best pieces of furniture are always the ones that double up as other things. You might find it more difficult to achieve this with garden furniture, but you should try if you can. Have a think about the most versatile pieces you might be able to use outside. Even furniture that contains a lot of storage space inside it would be a good bet.

Choosing the furniture to go in your garden is one of the most important things you can do. You need to turn the garden into an active part of the home. It should be somewhere you like to spend a lot of time, and that you get a lot out of. So choosing the right furniture is the key to achieving all of this. Make sure you take the time to make the right decision about what you’re going to choose for the garden.

The must-have accessory in 2016

I have been seeing a lot of choker necklaces lately.  This brings back memories.  Do you remember the 90’s? I had a black choker once and wore it with my dresses.  Yes, the choker trend is back! This delicate statement piece is getting more and more popular as we speak.  So how do we wear it?  We can layer the choker necklace with a longer necklace to give it a bohemian vibe, pair it with denim for the rocker style or just a simple tee and jeans.
