Hello everyone! Knowing your face shape can be helpful when choosing your hairstyle, makeup, eyebrow shape, glasses and even earring style. A long time ago, I shared a quiz to help you determine which  face shape  you have. In previous posts, I talked about  the best eyebrows for your face shape   and  the best sunglasses for your face shape . Today, I want to share some tips on how to choose the  best earring  that will flatter and define your features. It is important to choose earrings that complement your natural beauty rather than choosing ones that are 'in style'.  A simple trick is to pick the earrings that are opposite to your face shape.  Keep reading to see what I mean by this.

Square face Round earrings, such are hoops, are your best choice. Earrings with rounded edges are a great choice because t

Hello everyone! Lately, I've been reevaluating my blog and I decided to focus less on DIY beauty and more on skincare products, beauty techniques and fashion.  I realised that I haven't published a fashion related post in a while.  Clothes are more than just pieces of fabric that we wear on our bodies.  Fashion is a means of self-expression which allows us to present ourselves to the world and show others who we are before we even utter a word.   There are A LOT of different types of fashion styles, including; Artsy, Bohemian, Feminine, Girl Next Door, Goth, Grunge, Punk, Sporty, Streetwear, Tomboy, Trendy and Vintage.    Finding a style that is suited to our individual tastes can help us feel more confident, more comfortable, and more  like ourselves .   A punk outfit or a gothic-dress can be  unique fashion statements that can show your attitude and personality. When developing a personal fashion style, you don’t have to stick to a single style.  You can switch up your lo

Hello everyone! I'm a rabid fan of everything horror, supernatural and paranormal so understandably I love Halloween .  While every little girl wanted to be a princess, I wanted to be a witch!  ☺ The Addams Family (1964-1966)  was one of my favourite   TV shows growing up.  In case you're wondering, I was born in 1985; as a child, I watched re-runs on  Italian   television .  However, I'm not a fan of the movies.     Wednesday was one of my favourite  characters  on the show, she  was a pale, dark-haired, grim-looking little girl who was fascinated with death and the  macabre .   Today's "outfit inspiration" is a Wednesday Addams Halloween costume .   This is a classic and very simple costume.     H&M black dress hm.com John Lewis intimate johnlewis.com Wet Seal black boots wetseal.com Essie black nail polish boots.com If you want to  dress up  as Wednesday, make sure to find a  black dress with a

Hello everyone! I've put together two purple outfit ideas for Spirit Day ; a casual and a formal outfit.  Casual outfit recommendation: On this day people wear the colour purple to show support for  LGBT  youth  who are victims of  bullying .   Purple   symbolises 'spirit'  on the rainbow flag. Formal outfit recommendation: Getting involved is easy!  Turn your social media pics purple   here , and wear purple on October 16th and help create a world in which LGBT youth are accepted for who they are. Which outfit do you prefer?   Are you going to wear purple on Thursday?   Answer in the comment section below!
