After months of planning, dreaming and worrying, the Big Day finally arrives and you are simply overwhelmed with excitement. No matter how much you plan everything down to the smallest details, life is full of surprises, even on your wedding day. #1 You woke up with a giant zit First don’t try any new skin products a month before the wedding. If you woke up with a zit or puffy face, try to put cold towel on your face to remove puffyness. If you have zit put some ice covered with tissue on spot to minimize it and reduce redness then cover it with full coverage concealer

#2 Your vendor bails on you last minute A makeup artist or hairdresser unable to at the last minute? It’s not the end of the world, just check with your other vendors or even ask a friend who knows her way around make up.

#3 Dress issues A rip in the dress or zip during the wedding photo shoot is not so rare and happens more often than expected. Pack a sewing kit as part of your emergency kit, just in case there is a misfortune with your dress, the bridesmaid or even your mom’s dresses.

#4 Emergency Kit Essentials Kit We have listed a bride’s worst nightmares and disasters regarding the wedding day and our last, but not least advice is to always have an emergency kit with you. Baby wipes or Tide stick for spills, needle & thread for a tear, aspirin, bandit and an extra pair of heels/flats for sore feet, super glue for broken bouquets or heels and nail polish for a run in your stockings.

Woooo new year, new season—ergo, new you. With temps starting to (finally!) rise and all the fresh arrivals online and in store, I’ve got all things SPRING on my mind. It’s always about this time each year when I’m SO over Winter and do a happy dance each time the sun comes out. As such, I’ve been getting super excited about all the new Spring “looks” and trends to try out this year.

*First spring trend i noticed were Animal Prints/Instinct*

This season, street style stars let their animal instincts take over with bold and wild prints. In particular, loud leopard print was a favourite amongst the fashionistas and appeared on a variety of garments, including pants, coats, dresses, suits, and more. So if you want to follow in your favourite stars footsteps grab yourself animal print and pair it up with bold and striking colours to match it up. Or if you are not one for the drama pair it up with something more casual for that subtle effect

*Second spring trend i saw were Boiler suits*

Utilitarian designs appeared in all the major fashion cities throughout this fashion month. Of course, one particular style stood out from the pack. Originally designed as a one-piece protective garment for manual labour, boiler suits are now as fashionable as they are functional. To rock the look for yourself, just pick the cut and colour that suits you best. These long-sleeved jumpsuits are available in a variety of fantastic styles. So, you won’t be short on choices. You can see many different bloggers and instagram stars wearing it.

*And third and personally my favourite trend for 2019 are Puff Shoulders*

Proving once and for all that the minimal trend is over, this show season saw attendees embrace lashings of fabric. While this meant bold ruffles and oversized silhouettes, it also resulted in statement puff shoulders on both dresses and blouses. Simultaneously striking and stylish, these puff sleeves added a fun ’80s twist to modern outfits.

*DO YOU HAVE AN HOURGLASS BODY SHAPE? If your shoulders, bust and hips are similar size, but your waist is at least 25% smaller than your hips then your body is hourglass-shaped. Mermaid and trumpet silhouette bridal gowns are perfect for you; While a trumpet silhouette’s skirt flares out from the mid-thigh to the ground, the mermaid style dress is fitted to the knee, providing even more definition and hugging the bust, waist and hips.

*DO YOU HAVE A STRAIGHT BODY SHAPE? If you are slender, slim and athletic, you are of straight body shape. Sheath wedding gown silhouette is the perfect and elegant choice for you. Also known as column, a Sheath gown has a long, slim silhouette that follows the body’s natural line without flaring out. If you are tall and slender it will lend you a classy and sophisticated look with a stunning chest line accentuating the cleavage, contoured to the body’s natural shape, fitting closely, exuding sophistication and glam, from head to toe.

*DO YOU HAVE AN APPLE SHAPED BODY? If you are curvy, with weight mainly around the middle; tummy and hips, or of plus size, then you are apple shaped. The A-line silhouette will flatter your waistline, conceal hips and thighs in addition to elongating the apple-shaped body, making you look taller. A ball gown will also be an amazing choice for you; If you want to conceal a larger tummy or have full hips and thighs

*DO YOU HAVE A PEAR- SHAPED BODY? If your hips are wider than your shoulders and have a fuller lower body, then you are pear-shaped. Ball gown silhouette is ideal for a pear shaped body, as it accentuates the waist, the smallest part of your beautiful figure and conceals the lower body.
