Getting Dolled Up For The Summer

Summertime brings with it the ability to go on vacations and meet new people. Because of this simple fact, every woman wants to look her best. Some women are lucky enough to be able to just slap on a bikini and head out into the world, but even these women need a little preparation to look their best when out on the beach or wherever else the summer might take them. There are certain things a woman should focus on to look her absolute best during the summer.

Wardrobe
A woman’s wardrobe is an integral part of how she looks during the summer. A pair of sunglasses can not only protect the eyes, but the right pair can help pull off an absolutely chic look. Frame types are really an individual choice and should fit a woman’s facial shape. Long hemlines are also always in fashion. They may not show off a woman’s legs as well, but they are usually flattering to anyone who wears them. After all, even during the summer months a miniskirt is not always appropriate. Pick out a comfortable stylish pair of shoes and a chic shirt and it’s time to hit the town.

Skin
A woman’s skin is often the first thing people will notice about her. It goes without saying that summer months make sunscreen absolutely necessary. This doesn’t mean SPF 100 sunscreen is necessary, but choosing one with an SPF strong enough to protect the skin while still allowing the sun to produce a natural tan is ideal. This will ensure that skin stays beautiful for years to come. Many women also worry if they have acne. This is also possible to fix, as there are several great quality acne treatments available on the market. Checking out a site like acnetreatments.com can provide the right acne treatment for each individual skin type.

Hair
During the summer months many women decide to let their hair go all natural. This is a great idea because the humidity will often undo any work that is put into hair before leaving the house. This even includes leaving the hair its natural color, although it never hurts to add highlights. It is also not a bad idea to purchase products that protect hair from the sun. Some of these products even have ingredients that activate while in the sun. Picking out a good product for their specific hair will help women keep their hair beautiful during the summer.

Although women strive to be beautiful year-round, the summer months bring with them a woman’s wish to look her absolute best. Every woman is beautiful, but taking a few additional steps can make all the difference in the world and really get her noticed. Luckily summer also brings with it an excuse to not hit the tanning bed, so that time can easily be converted into time spent dolling up for a day out.

Springwear Trends: Warm Knitwear and Maxi Skirts

It's not often when May comes around that we find ourselves still wrapped up in our coats and blazers, but I’m sure many agree with me when I say that just because the weather doesn’t want to brighten up, it doesn’t mean my wardrobe feels the same way.

Compromising Your Wardrobe

In fact, being that we have reached the spring season my inner fashionista is reluctant to continue on with the dark and dull colours of my winter clothes, and looking around I see that I’m not the only one. As the weather has slowly warmed up, I’m seeing that a lot more women are opting for long skirts instead of jeans and trousers, and cosy knitwear rather than heavy coats and blazers.

Statement Knitwear

Oversized sweaters, jumpers, and cardigans in bold and bright colours are perfect for the current weather, especially if it is patterned with vivid stripes or polka dots. Worn over jeans, leggings or skirts, this season's knitwear is flattering as well as comfortable. Crocheted garments are even better as it will keep you warm when the temperature is down, but at the same time will prevent you from sweltering from the heat. Not to mention, with crocheted knitwear you have the option of wearing it as it is for a chic and sexy look, or with a coloured top underneath to bring a splash of fun to your outfit.

Maxi Skirts

Maxi skirts is another practical substitute for jeans and leggings. The arrival of spring always seem to bring out our feminine side and nothing reflects this better than a skirt that elongates our legs and slims out our body. This year’s maxi skirts have returned better than ever before in bright popping colours and prints, high splits, pleats and frills, and straight and asymmetrical designs. And the best thing about these skirts is that they are so versatile and flattering it’s hard to get the look wrong. In cold weathers, the length of the skirt coupled with a heavier fabric will do wonders to keep the heat in, whilst a light, breezy fabric for the warmer temperatures will bring out the romantic, summary feel to any outfit.

Although the weather doesn’t seem to be warming up quick enough for us, there’s still no reason not to dress for the spring season as long as we keep it practical, comfortable, and fashionable. So don’t forget to ditch those winter coats and heavy blazers, and invest in some knitwear and maxi skirts this spring!

You can find a range of stunning jumpers, cardigans and knitwear at Crew Clothing, perfect for matching with a maxi skirt!

Shopping Like a Queen, 'Cos I Earned it!

You betcha... I have made another purchase. I know just the other day I shared about how I am trying my best to save up and the whole nine yards of my bills and such. Believe it or not I am still in full control over everything. I have gone over my expenses, bills, and tallied everything down to see if there's an option for me to shop for a little treat. I have made sure that I have enough already for my mama and as well as for my credit card. Leaving me with just about enough for a small purchase.

The only reason I got pushed to do so is because, last night boyf took me to a dinner date with his co-workers and he saw this beautiful "Prada" purse from another lady and told me that he likes the purse and it will match my outfit [that night] perfectly. When he asked how much it cost he was totally surprised and could not believe the €700 price tag. The lady did say it is pricey but she got it as a gift. Boyf knows me well enough that a purse that expensive isn't something that I can appreciate. Simply because I would be totally devastated that it was put towards just one purse, when I can shop 'til I drop with that amount of money. I keep things simple and don't mind buying unbranded items as it is the practical thing to do. So this afternoon I went online and ordered a few handbags that are beautiful yet aren't as expensive or costly. Check it out...

Also, upon checking out my order I had the option to share a donation. Even if there's not much that I can contribute, each penny counts towards helping others out. After all, it is the thought that counts. The donation is made to...

TAPS Good Grief Camp & provide healing support to a surviving child of America's Fallen military heroes.

I am not good in mathematics unlike boyfie but even so I know my little contribution made a difference compare to not doing anything at all. Someday, once I am earning more than enough for my bills, my mama, and myself, I will then make sure to regularly contribute. For those of you who are earning much more, kindly consider extending a helping hand by donating a few bucks. If you think you can afford more and simply ain't sure how to go by it you can consult CPA's or accounting raleigh nc who specializes in that area. The only thing that matters is that we are trying to be there for those who needs help. Plus I do believe in good karma.

Now I have beautiful purses to match my clothes. I don't really have contacts for purse / bag sponsors so I had to purchase my own. If memory serves me right I got one from Oasap and one from Yes Style and that's about it. Hopefully someday I'll have sponsors for purses and shoes as well. For the time being I have used my own hard earned money for that and it is all worth it! Alright, til' next. Hope y'all enjoyed my lil' share for today. xox
