Hair band craze

A few years ago, I went through a hair band craze where I bought hair bands all the time. Then it went away, and now, it has returned. Just like any other accessories, hair bands can really add a little something to your outfit, especially on your off days where you don't feel like dressing up, accessories can go a long way.



There are so many different styles of hair bands to choose from, different price ranges too. Of course, one can always look to Blair Wardorf from Gossip Girl for inspiration.



The classic one would be the Burberry one:




One that I would die for -Miu Miu Gold Glitter Hair band:

Maxi dresses

With summer coming up, dresses are in stores everywhere now. The number one investment for summer that I would recommend is a maxi dress (or several). At the right fit, the dress can compliment any type of body. The looseness of the dress allows you to eat(while fitted dresses show your stomach sticking out right after you eat), the length of the dress also cover your legs if you are not comfortable with showing too much skin. That being said, to some, the length of the dress may restrict the convenience of certain activities, however the looseness of the dress actually allows a lot of leg room without a lot of restriction. For more petite ladies, it is best to take the dress to the tailor to get your dress altered to avoid looking swamped in the dress.
Now, what to pair maxi dresses with? Gladiators, flats, strappy sandals, you name it, but I’m personally favouring strappy sandals ATM.
And of course, with the summer season coming, don’t forget your sunnies and make sure you apply sunscreen for protection.

Men's style: Brad Goreski

For some reason, to majority of the population, fashion and style seems more of a "girl's thing". However, I strongly believe that it's BOTH a guy's and a girl's thing, especially seeing Brad Goreski on The Rachel Zoe project and reading about Michael Tonello's Hermes buying outfits in his book, Bringing Home The Birkin.

I absolutely adore Brad's style, from his Ralph Lauren sweaters to his cute bow ties. I think that all men should look put together at all times, no matter what your style is, always look put together.

Investment pieces

In our world, fashion is ever-changing. Trends and fads come and go, some staying longer than others. Of course, not everyone has the money to go invest in expensive designer pieces for every single part of their outfits. The key idea is to invest money in the staples of your wardrobe, be in good quality jeans, or a well-built and fitted blazer, or a cashmere scarf, or the most classic example of a LBD. The idea is to invest in timeless pieces that will always remain in style. Another good investment would be vintage pieces as time passes, they become more and more appreciated. Last but not least, classic style purses are also a good investment, because whether you are 16 or 61, they are still suitable. Oh and who can forget about a pair of classic killer heels.
