Double Denim.

As far as trends go, Denim is one of the jeans trends that never go out of fashion and this time is no different. Double denim has literally made a comeback and the fashion savvy are falling for it.
To get on to this jean goodness, double denim must be done right or it could go horribly wrong and you wouldn’t like that. Here’s a few tips on how to do this trend justice.

Contrast is key. Never do identical shades for top and bottom. Choose dark denim for the bottom and go light at the top. 

Trendy Washes. It is imperative you wear denim that is trendy and fashionable at the moment that is distressed, dark washes or bleached not unfashionably outdated shades.

Accessories: Bangles!



Bangles are one of the go-to accessories when it comes to arm candy jewellery. They come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, metals,  wood and in an assortment of colours availing you with a variety to choose from.
Bangles when worn go well on short sleeved or sleeveless tops like Tanks/Vests, shirts and dresses and dressy tops.
Dressed up or down they never fail to add a little pop to any outfit.
How To Wear Bangles.
Mix. You can mix small and big bangles together for a little or extra volume on the wrist.


Assorted Colours. I personally love a colourful display of bangles which you can also do by wearing multicoloured bangles together or mixing different colours and wearing them in one go.


Chaotic Arm candy. Chaos on the wrist is very fashionable today. Wear an assortment of different shapes, sizes, colours and metals at once and you will feel very fierce!



In one go. If you after making a fashion statement, it does not matter the arrangement, you can wear all you want in one go and make your mark on fashion.


Subtle and Sophisticated. If you are into the prim and proper look, a few bangles on the wrist will work for you.

The beauty about accessorizing with bangles is you do not have to match them to your outfit!

Common Hair Mistakes.




All women try to maintain their hair looking good all the time but in doing so, there are some mistakes they make when hair growth is poor and lacks lustre.

Split Ends. Most women think that not trimming or cutting off split ends will enable hair growth yet it is not the case. Leaving split ends only hinders hair growth. It is good practice to cut them off whenever you go for a touch up.

Combing Wet Hair. We all make this mistake even the well learned stylists at the salon. Hair breaks easily whenever it is combed while wet because, the more you try to pass a comb through to untangle it, most of it remains in the comb. Before making an attempt at combing wet hair, first put conditioner and then proceed.

Holding Hair in one position/place. This is usually committed by ladies who get their weaves or hair additions bonded. Different glues are used to bond the hair additions to the skin(because they want it to blend in with their natural hair) which kills the roots due to overuse.

Toweling hair dry. It is better to tie a towel around wet hair turban style after washing it to soak up the excess water instead of vigorously toweling it dry. Every time you do this, the hair breaks and most of it remains in the towel.

Lack of rest. One of the hindrances to hair growth and lustre is too many visits to the salon and the heated styling tools they use on the hair. Over use of the dryer, curling and flat iron tools makes the hair more brittle to the touch and it loses shine. It is good practice to let the hair rest from the salon and the styling tools by plaiting or getting a weave.

Glitterati

It is the festive season and there is no better trend to make you feel festive and love it than Glitter and Sequins. Glitter and sequins were all over the fashion week runway from designers like Armani and Versace. A lot of fashionable people have taken to the trend including celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie.
It is pretty hard to carry off as an everyday look but it being the festive season, you have a right to wear it to anything because its all about tinsel and bright colourful lights this time of year. What better way to blend in with the season than rocking glitter and sequins?
You can wear it through out the festive season without fear of standing out. Glitter and sequins can be worn to anything from a boyfriend shirt with a sequin skirt to a pair of jeans paired with a sequin short jacket depending on the occasion and the look you want to achieve.
The trend is glitzy enough that you do not need to accessorize at all. Minimal jewellery is a MUST when it comes to glitter and sequins. You don’t want to end up looking like an over decorated tree.
Here’s a few pieces to help you get in touch with your inner glamorous side.

Visual Slim-down.

Start looking slimmer right away by wearing clothes that flatter your figure using these optical tricks. 

No To Bulky  Clothes!
Wearing baggy clothes will make you look like a huge lump! fitting clothes are more flattering to the body. loose T-Shirts flatter no one unless worn with tight skinny jeans or cigarette pants.



Long Skirts.
 The length of a skirt is very important. It should stop right below the knee or below the calf. A calf length skirt will make you look short and your legs appear chunky especially for petite ladies.

Pencil skirts in different lengths.

Straight Posture.
A good posture does wonders for the body. It will make you look slimmer in any outfit which may not be the case in reality. Pull your shoulders back and suck in that tummy. This lengthens your spine and makes you look slimmer and taller. 


No To Triangle.
If you are wide with a pear shaped figure, wearing high heels and slim leg trousers can make you look like an over-turned triangle. Go for a straight leg when wearing trousers to get the best out of your figure.
Jumpsuits look good on pear-shaped women

Hairstyling Tips: Triangle Shaped Face

• Triangle Shaped Face: If you have a narrow forehead but a broad cheekbone, then you have a Triangle Shaped Face! No worries! Your only goal is to narrow down your chin and widen your forehead through hairstyling tips!
Best hairstyles for this type: Triangle Shape face individuals should avoid wearing long haircuts because they will only emphasize more on the broad chin. Try wearing short to medium hairstyles that have heavy layers and bangs to accentuate the forehead. Also, you may also use hair wax to create spiky hair to add volume to your forehead, so that it will balance out with the broad cheekbone.

Hairstyles to avoid: Try to avoid long haircuts that are below the shoulder level, and thin layered haircuts which would not help balance out the face traits.

Safer ways to grow your hair faster


I have used my own hair many times to experiment with ways on how to grow hair faster, to obtain a medium long hairstyle. Throughout the internet there are many forums talking about hair growing supplements and all kinds of therapies to make your hair grow faster. If you are using one of these methods, stop already. Not only do these methods waste your time and money, they can leave a potential side-effect behind.

And again, many sites out there have claimed some methods are able to make a bald person to have hair up to their shoulders overnight. That is extremely bizarre!

With my own hair, I have concluded that to grow your hair faster, follow these safe steps:

1. Firstly, consume a sufficient amount of water each day. A while back I had not been drinking much water to tell you the truth, and not only did my hair often became dry, it did not grow much either.

2. Consume the essential nutrients everyday, do not miss out on any nutrients! I cannot stress this enough but many people who wish to grow their hair faster, do not eat much at all because they are probably on an "intense" diet to look better. The essential nutrients include: fibre, protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins.

Please emphasize on the protein consumption! To those who are on a diet right now, eat SOY!

**A while ago I used to join the neighbourhood gym, and drank protein shakes (not recommended for everyone) which had around 20g of protein in each cup. A couple days later and I realized my hair grew alot thicker and longer. No lies!

3. Wash your hair frequently! Your hair will become extremely dirty and unhealthy as soon as you miss a day of no hair-wash! Only use warm water or colder to wash your hair, since hot water may have a chance to eliminate your hair cells.

4. Cut out the blow-dryers! Blow drying your hair is extremely poor to your hair. It crisps the hair and damages your hair's nutrients.

5. Avoid hair colour treatments for now. Until you grow your hair until your ideal length, do not use any dyes yet. *Although dyes are quite damaging to your hair as well.

6. Get plenty of sleep and rest! Sleep at least 8 hours per night!

7. Cut the caffeine, and reduce the amount of alcohol and tobacco if you are on any.

These 7 steps are clearly safe ways to help your grow for sure. Hopefully, results would be something like this:
