The Wedding Day: Last Minute DISASTER FIXES?!

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

TOP 10 FASHION TRENDS FOR SPRING 2019




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.
