SERIN NIGHTWEAR GLAMOR

Hey hey lovies,
Today  we talk about Nightwear, looking good and chic during the day whether in the office or running your errands to a date night or girls night out is one thing and having your sexy back in the bedroom is another thing all together.Whether you choose sheer nightwear or ratty old t-shirts, what you wear to bed each night says quite a bit about who you are.

This is true for all types of clothing; when women dress for the day, they are essentially getting ready to play a role. Busy mothers might put on comfortable jeans and warm sweaters. Polished businesswomen might opt for high-powered suits and sleek heels. Classroom teachers might choose modest dresses and casual flats. Why shouldn't these same women get to continue their role-playing well into the night, catering to themselves instead of the public by simply slipping between the sheets in sheer nightwear that instantly transforms them into sex kittens.
Well some women get themselves a sexy lingerie when they have a special occasion. Whether it's for their upcoming honeymoon, a partner's birthday or any other reason, wearing a sheer nightgown instead of that boring t-shirt and shorts can make you feel pampered and special.

This should not be the cause because every gal needs access to sexy lingerie to be feel fantastic and glamorous on those days when nothing else is going right. That's right ladies, if you're having a crap morning before work, don't put on your daggies and cotton tails and go to work. Instead, opt for that bright red and black lace bra & g-string set. Just the though and excitement of having it on should brighten your mood and lift your self confidence.
Although most equate wearing sheer nightgowns for special occasions, nothing is better than slipping one on after a long day and listening to soft music while drinking wine and indulging yourself.

The popularity and love for lingerie is definitely on the rise. Women of today know what they like and won't settle for anything short of fantastic.Why should you skimp when it comes to underwear anyway?
Wearing a sexy lingerie item, whether it be a tight fitting corset or a see through baby doll, if the lingerie item makes you feel fantastic then it is worth every shilling that you have paid for it.


So start loving and living for sexy lingerie. It doesn't just have to be about impressing about a man. Do it for yourself. Make sure you feel whole and love yourself, and then let the good times begin. Do it for the love of sexy lingerie.

CHIC LEGGINGS AFFAIR

Hello Darlings,
Happy Monday, i hope you had yourselves a healthy beautiful and blessed Weekend, mine was awesome awesome awesome. Well, leggings are a versatile piece of any woman's wardrobe, but not every woman understands how to wear them properly.For some women,they consider leggings as not a style option, but for others, knowing how to wear them makes all the difference between looking chic and looking like a fashion throwback. Leggings are meant to be worn as part of a layered outfit. It's hard to pull off a fashionable look if you wear leggings as a pair of pants, instead of as a pair of tights under other clothing. By mixing and matching colors and choosing the right shoes, leggings can be worn in any season.. Keep these steps in mind to ensure you're wearing your leggings elegantly.

Coordinate colors

Leggings that are zebra or leopard striped or covered with hypnotic can give you a fun and flashy look. Make sure you wear them with an understated top, skirt, dress, pants or shoes.




Pair leggings with a cute dress
Put on a short dress and pair it with cotton leggings that complement the color of the dress. The dress and leggings shouldn't be the same color, obviously, but they should match. Also, dresses that fall at or above the knee can work with leggings as well.
Let your leggings steal the show and avoid clashing by not having other patterns get in the way of your style.

Denim-style leggings for a casual
lookYou can pair a flowing tunic top with denim leggings and ballet flats.



Wear shoes that complement the leggings
Leggings look best with flats, such as ballerina flats, or plain pumps.Boots are another great option to wear with leggings.


 Pair leggings with a long sweater
If you have a long, thick sweater that falls below your fingertips, you may be able to pull it off with leggings. Wear a belt around the sweater and high boots that match the sweater.
To dress it up more for work, add a couple of long chain necklaces or a decorative scarf. You'll look trendy and casual at the same time.
 Pair your leggings with a nice top
Choose a fancy top to wear, since it will help play up your leggings and make them look more fancy and appropriate for work.


Don't confuse leggings with jeggings
Jeggings are jean leggings, which is a cross between pants and leggings. These tight, sleek pants can help spice up an ordinary outfit, and you can wear them like you could wear pants.

AFRICAN FABULOCITY


Hey Lovelies,
Hope y'all are keeping up well, so, today i am a very happy Mummy, my Son turns One and its such a great deal for me. I love him. S/O to you Liam.
Well, African prints are becoming a great sensation lately and gaining a lot of popularity amongst fashionistas, designers and many more.For you express your vision in a dress or whatever it is you want tailored for you, you need a good tailor, because  the worst thing you can do is wear big, baggy, shapeless clothing. That doesn't mean wear everything skin-tight. Somewhere in the middle is the ideal. Go for cuts that show off your shape in flattering ways. 






When choosing an African attire here are five dressing tips that will dramatically improve your look-
Proportion
It’s amazing how much of a difference a few small adjustments can make. 



Cuts that broaden the width of the shoulders, say, a structured shirt or a blazer, create the illusion of a tiny waist.

Highlight your waistline 
Creating a visual break at your natural waist, your narrowest point, is another way to emphasize a curvy figure. Pairing a solid top that you can tuck into a flared skirt helps create an hourglass effect. 





Belts are key 
Again, this is all about defining your waistline. Belts are simply another great tool. You don’t want a skinny belt or one that’s too thick. Look for a mid width option. 

Find a bra that fits 
This one sounds obvious but it’s amazing how many of us walk around wearing a bra that doesn't fit. A bra that’s supportive, shapely, and slimming can be. An ill-fitting bra can make you look squat and create dreaded back bulges.

FASHIONABLE RAINY SEASON

Everybody longs for an endless sunny season, as dressing for the season is so easy. It may seem as if heavy downpours make it difficult to make a fashion statement these days, but with well-chosen pieces, you won’t look like a wet rag in this wet season.

Umbrella

This is one of the best accessory to have in your bag,you never know when it pours. Have yourself a gorgeous and colorful umbrella that goes along with your outfit.


Boots

This season is the perfect excuse to say hello to fabulous boots. Boots are the perfect way to conceal your legs from the mud splatter and horrendous floods. For a classic look, opt for mid-calf or ankle boots paired with leggings or capris. You can also wear it with jeans with rolled up cuffs.
Leggings and hosiery

If you’re one of those girls who can’t seem to part with their cut-offs and denim skirts, fret not; there’s still hope for you. If you insist on wearing your short skirts and dresses, then better keep your legs protected with leggings and hosiery. Showing off your legs and your goosebumps during the rainy season is not sexy at all.

Cropped jeans, boyfriend jeans, or capris
It’s better for you to avoid wearing them full-length jeans during the rain because they tend to get heavy when wet, You can, however, roll up your cuffs or opt for cropped jeans or capris. They’re fun, functional, and chic if worn with the right heels or ankle boots

Knee-length skirts


These are not the skirts of your grandmothers, mind you. Knee-length skirts are chic, but only if you know how to don them in style. Wear it with romantic ruffles.The mini may be a classic, but the knee-length skirt holds it own better when the rain starts to pour.
.

Three-fourths and long-sleeved tops
Roll or scrunch up the sleeves when it’s getting warmer and roll them back down again when the weather feels nippy. Whatever your style preference may be, three-fourths and long sleeves are the way to go this season.

Scarves


A scarf can be your only protection when a heavy shower starts pouring. A scarf, aside from being a fashionable addition to your wardrobe, can also protect you when harsh winds start blowing. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that scarves are functional and fashionable at the same time.

leather bags or
Plastic
Forget about canvass bags for now. Leather and plastic bags are the best totes this season because they are waterproof do not absorb water. You can even go an extra mile and start a green fashion revolution of your own and use plastic instead of leather. Not only do you get to strut around town with a fun bag, you get to help Mother Nature and keep your bag’s contents dry.

EMBRACE YOUR BODY TYPE


In a world of ever-changing trends, knowing what to wear to flatter your shape can be a challenge. The key is to know your proportions, and use fashions to accentuate your best features, and hide everything else are as follows:-

Identify your body type
One way to define a woman's body type is by how her curves connect her bust, waist, and hips. There are four general body types

Apple - top-heavy-if you have this body type, you probably want to emphasize your tight legs and butt, draw attention away from your waist and shoulders/arms (wear long sleeves), and draw attention to your bust and neck (e.g. v-necks).
Straight/rectangular - if you have this body type, you can "pinch" your waist and exaggerate curves to avoid looking lanky or boyish. Go for ruffles and frills to add texture and volume (and femininity) to your figure. Steer clear of baggy jeans and track clothes if you don't want to look boyish.
Pear - bottom-heavy-if this is your body type, there are things you can do to make your hips and butt look slimmer.
Hourglass - if you're one of the lucky few with this body type, dress to flatter - not flatten - your beautiful curves.


Draw attention to your waist with belts and dresses that pinch at the mid-section.

 If you have a straight shape, this is a must because it'll create the illusion of curves. If you have a pear or hourglass shape, this will accentuate your existing curves

·         If you're apple-shaped or straight-shaped, choose flared pants over straight-leg or skinny pants. It adds more "shape" to a straight body and it helps balance out wide shoulders and/or a heavy upper body. Stock up on miniskirts and bright tights to make the most of your great legs.
·         If you're pear-shaped and you are short (or have short legs), wear straight-leg or slightly flared pants with heels. Skinny pants that hug your ankles can make your lower body take on the appearance of an upside-down triangle. Flared pants can make your legs look very thick, perhaps bowl-legged, in comparison to your upper body.
·         Wear clothes with patterns that go down your body (especially your legs) and not across
.
Shape your bust.

 If you have an apple or hourglass shape, you probably have an ample bust; your main concern should be to wear a supportive bra so that your chest looks perky, not droopy. Stock up on V-neck dresses and tops - they're super flattering on big-busted girls.

If you don't want to draw attention to your chest, stay away from necklaces and wear chunky bangles instead. You should also wear plain colors around your bust and go for patterned and colorful bottoms instead.
If you have a straight or pear shape, wearing a push-up bra to add curves up top might not be a bad idea.
 If you have a 
flat stomach and aren't shy about showing it, cropped tops will make your chest look a little bigger in relation to your waist.

Choose your colors and patterns wisely.
If there are any curves, handles, or lumps that you'd prefer to hide, wear solid dark colors (black, navy, dark purple) over them. Wear bright colors or patterns on your hot spots to draw attention away from your trouble spots!

Draw attention away from unwanted curves by enhancing a feature that is further away or you can cover it with dark colors.

Be comfortable


This is by wearing what you feel most comfortable in for confidence. And make sure that your clothes fit properly. Clothes that are too tight or too big will not necessarily make you look better.

Remember, just because you have an hour-glass figure doesn't mean you have to wear clothes that make you blush. If a neckline is too deep, or if a hemline is too short, leave those clothes on the rack.
Comfortable clothing will make you feel better and make you more confident. Consider all your options.



BEAUTIFUL GLOWING FACE

Hello Dolls,
Hope you had yourselves a lovely weekend like me. So, looking great comes along with much hard work input, regardless of the occasion. Below are a few tips on how to keep that glowing look.

Have
a cleansing routine

 Twice a day with your optimal product will fight many of the most common skin problems and leave your face feeling healthy and looking great. Blemishes on your face can be combated by either the use of a product or an organic solution. Deciding which to use really depends on your skin type and acne severity. More sensitive skin may need a gentler product, while less sensitive skin may require a harsher product to see results. For those who prefer an organic method, lemon juice, dandelion sap, honey, and other materials have proven to work as well.

 Facial hair protection

 This ensures a fine facial structure and clean look. Keep your eyebrow lines neat, upper lip hair and chin hair groomed. To trim eyebrows or help from a professional who can wax or pluck your eyebrows. f you want to do it yourself, take a wash cloth soaked in hot water and press it onto the area where you are about to remove the hair. Then remove the few stray hairs with tweezers. Do this every night before bed for best results.

Moisturize
If you have dry skin, you really need to make sure that your face is getting the moisture it needs. Use a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin feeling soft and glowing.

 Drink lots of water

Your body needs plenty of hydration during the day to keep removing wastes and oils from your face. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

Don't touch your face

 Many people have bad habits of messing with acne or leaning their face on their hands. Your hands have oils on them that will clog pores, increasing blemishes. No matter how tempting it might be, don't pop pimples or interfere with anything facial- though it may seem like it will make it better, it actually makes it much worse and instead of dealing with a two day pimple you now have a two week long project. A tip here is changing your pillow case often- the oils linger on the fabric, getting on your face during the night.



Attention on the Lips

 Use a lip hydrator often and make sure to moisturize your lips. A simple way to do this is to rub a sugar-and-water solution on them and then moisturize, as the sugar removes dead cells and rejuvenates the lips. Keep a stick of lip moisturizer on you at all times and use throughout the day. Be careful not to use too much Chap Stick though. Your lips can literally get addicted to the chemicals that prevent/heal chapped lips; they will stop making that chemical themselves, and it's a painful addiction to break!

Protect your face from the sun.

 Ultraviolet rays will damage your skin over time and it's essential that you protect your face from harmful radiation. Use a good sunscreen or makeup with sunscreen in it, even a little, before going out, and you will have fresh, healthy skin. Another way to protect yourself is to wear clothing that will cover you, like a hat.
