The Color Gold

This post is inspired by Kim Kardashian's newly launched perfume, "Gold".

She looks absolutely dazzling in the color, blending in nicely with her even tone tanned skin. The color gold does a magical touch to your look, and I especially love the color when I attend a formal function. It brings out the elegance in you, regardless whether you are fair or dark-skinned.

However, beware when you match your gold dresses, accessories or heels as color combination is key. I personally think you could never go wrong with gold and black or red. Here's how, stealing from Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner.



 

Gold with black = Elegant & Classy

Red with gold = Alluring & Attractive

Plain Jane No More

Many of us are caught with what I call the "Plain Jane" bug, refusing to pick up that piece of accessories to give an instant polished look. Believe me, it takes a little effort but it does wonders to your mood, how you feel about yourself and instinctively, the way you carry yourself.

It doesn't have to be much, just make sure the next time before you head out the door, grab  any of the following items on your way out.

Head accessories

Ear accessories

A pretty earring will add a feminine touch to your look, just like Angelina Jolie in her emerald earrings.

Neck accessories

A v-shape necklace gives an illusion of a smaller face contour

Scarf

Hand accessories

You may keep it simple on one hand with your watch and the other with some designer bangles.

These cocktail rings are especially handy when it comes to showcasing your pretty manicured hands

I will leave you with a quote to inspire you - "I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny." — Coco Chanel

Keeping up with Kendall Jenner

The Kardashians are quick to leverage on their fame, with latest addition to the limelight, Kim's youngest sister Kendall Jenner who's launched into a series of modelling career by the business savvy Kardashians.

Thanks to her God-given good looks and amazing body physiques, the 15-year old is fast rising as a supermodel, which includes the shoots for Sherri Hill's latest collections and lo and behold, sexy swimwear.

Oh well, we will never be done with the Kardashians!

Daisy Dukes - Denim

This post is inspired by the Daisy Duke.

Today, I just want to encourage you to wear denim differently. Many of us have our fair share of denim shorts, pants and skirts, but few of us have the variety or take the effort to pair them and create an entire new look. Here's how: 

If you have a pair of long legs, this denim overall will look great on you; Same goes for petite girls, but bear in mind to wear an extra high heels, you'll look much taller.

I personally love the above outfit, a buttoned denim shirt and a long denim pencil skirt, paired with a heels. You're not looking overdone or least bit a plain Jane.

Or you could emulate the look above, by getting this tube denim short dress that's slightly puffed up at the bum; and go with a pair of flats.

This easily slip on short-sleeve denim skirt is a great formal casual outfit, giving you an edgier look.

It's time you get a pair of red jeans if you haven't already got one, as it does brighten up you look. Remember to get a skinny pair and look like Miranda Kerr. :)

Once again, Miranda Kerr seen wearing her sexy denim skirt, flattering her gorgeous legs.

A high waist denim shorts is cute and worn best on a casual day out. 

Blake Lively's street fashion

I'm determined to be hot like Blake Lively! Just can't get enough of her, I'm going on to study her street fashion to figure out how she does it, on the streets!

In bubbly short skirt in red, topped with a white singlet and matching sandals, and layered on with a blue scarf.

Go light at the top and dark at the bottom, pairing a pale grey overall with a pair of white gloves and a white knitted scarf; and a checkered legging with a pair of high boots.

A striped designer jacket and low cut underneath, and a gorgeous handheld, she looks totally upmarket.

A motorcycle jacket and a burberry scarf, in her tight high-waisted jeans and a sling bag for the on-the-go look.

Refusing to be an ordinary on the street missy, Blake puts on an open vest over her white tee and a long necklace for that extra bit of style.

From what we see, Ms Lively loves layering in her dressing, so style it up whenever you hit the road, a short scarf, chains over your neck, a pretty boot, belt, you name it. Happy trying guys!
