Winter Collection- Scarfs

 Hello Readers

Today I will be talking about scarfs. This simple but classic item of accessory is a little touch of gold to any outfit. It can bring a whole outfit together when accessorized right. The best benefit with owning a scarf is that they are very versatile, not only do they look good but they create much needed body warmth during winter.

Here are some tips when accessorizing with scarfs.

• Choose a colour scarf that compliments the colours you are wearing- Don't go with the same colour scarf as your top.
• If you are wearing a plain top, go with a patterned scarf
• If you are wearing a patterned top, pick one of the various colour tones working within that top and wear a plain scarf that compliments with that colour.
• Do not wear short necklaces when wearing scarfs- This prevents the scarf catching and fraying on your necklace, also your necklace will be covered and wont be seen under the scarf.
• Tie your scarf around your neck that will best compliment the top or jacket you are wearing- For example, if you are wearing a cow neck top then swing your scarf over your neck once and let one bit hang to the side and back. For a V-neck, scoop or sweetheart neck lines, doing a cowneck loop or the slide through knot would suit best for these tops. 
• High neck scoops or any high neck tops are best with a bow neck tie up or just swung over the neck and let the scarf hang down the body. 
• Also large square cut scarfs make great shawls when you go, just fold the scarf in half so its a triangle shape and place around your back and over your arms.
• Little silk or satin scarfs make the best head scarfs. Roll the scarf up then place on your head and tie a bow or wrap around into a knot and tie a lackey band around it. These look so cute and are perfect for spring time wear especially floral coloured scarfs.

Comment below and let me know what your favourite scarf is and how you like to wear it :)

Have a wonderful week and I'll post again soon.

Winter Collection - Coats

Hello Readers

Today is the first day of the Winter Collection series. I'll be discussing the important elements of a winter wardrobe and each day will be featuring one garment or accessory that is essential to every woman's winter wardrobe. 

Starting with the Classic Coat, this number one staple piece of clothing is immortal and will live in your wardrobe for decades. The term "Classic" comes from the fact that 'the coat' never really goes out of fashion. Every winter, there is always a new style of coat that comes out however majority of coats are based around the similar cut and whatever style it is, its always a fashionable item.

Featured on my blog is the Trapeze Spicysugar Collection Red Coat. This is a square cut double breasted coat featured with pockets and a removable hoodie. This very cute red coat is a perfect staple piece for my wardrobe as red is a very versatile colour. In winter time, woman tend to stick with blacks and grays however if you are that sort of woman and there is nothing wrong with loving black ( the slimming colour). It is best to go with a prominent colour coat like red, purple or cobalt blue. These colours perfectly compliment darker shades and adds a bit of colour to your wardrobe. 

This square cut coat is best suited to lollipop shaped ladies or column shaped women. This coat has a high cut waist band which does add a little shape to the waist but falls straight down to the hips. This style of coat is best suited to smaller bust people and they tend to showcase the double breasted coat better when it is done all the way up.

The best style of coats for pear or apple shapes are the long V-neck single button coats. These coats usually have there pockets at the front of the coat and have a Aline cut from the waist line. These styles of coats are the best for accessorizing as the deep V-neck showcases a gorgeous scarf nicely. Not to forgot to mention that these coats usually are long lined coats that cover the bottom too. 

There are plenty of coats around and I am sure once you find your perfect coat you will never let go of it. I own about 4 coats and I love each and every one of them. I will have to move to a colder climate place so I can wear them more often. Here is my tip for buying a coat- Be picky and find the perfect cut for you. As I'm sure you will have this coat for years and years.

Have a great week Everyone :)
