Easy Ways to Add some Fun to your Wardrobe

Whether we like it or not, even the most stylish people can end up feeling uninspired by their clothing selection. With a busy lifestyle comes a uniform of the same old items, and less time to think about putting together an eye-catching look. Luckily, sprucing up your clothing selection can be much easier than you’d think, and doesn’t always require a complete wardrobe makeover. Take a look at these easy tips on how to add some fun to your wardrobe.

 

Introduce some print

Print is one of the easiest ways to spruce up even the most bland ensemble. Either introduce an element of print to your ensemble with a detailed collar of hemline, or go bold and mix up a variety of clashing patterns. Polka dots, stripes and gingham are all great patterns to go for, being a big trend at the moment and versatile enough to be dressed up or down.

 

Clash your colours

Brightly coloured clothing is the epitome of ‘fun’, so make sure you bring a few colourful pieces into your wardrobe! This could be as simple as pairing a bright blue hooded rain mac with a pink dress, or clashing a yellow shirt with some red jeans for an eye catching look. Experiment with colours to see which ones you feel suit you most, and look out for any new items in this shade.

Add bold accessories

If you can’t help but feel most comfortable in toned down shades and styles, try adding some instant fun to your look with quirky accessories. Look out for big bold earrings, statement necklaces, patterned handbags and bright scarves to pair with your ensemble for a super easy way to take your outfit to the next level.

 

Leave your comfort zone

While you might not be the most daring when it comes to fashion choices, it’s important to leave your comfort zone every now and then in order to make an impact. This could mean switching your usual white t-shirt for a bold slogan tee, going for jeans with embroidered detail or wearing a top with a quirky off the shoulder style.

 

Don’t forget footwear

If you’re prone to throwing on the same old black flats or worn out trainers, think about sprucing up your look with a statement pair of shoes. You’d be surprised how much impact the right pair of shoes can have on an outfit, and there are lots of great styles out there that are perfect for adding a fun element. Think about pairing some bright coloured pumps with a pair of jeans for a bold twist on an everyday look.

 

How are you adding some fun to your wardrobe this season?

Late Summer/Autumn Fashion

I can’t believe we are almost at the end August. Where has 2017 gone? This year is going by so fast, we only said happy new year some minutes ago right?We say goodbye to Summer in a few weeks, and usher in Autumn officially. I am seriously looking forward to Autumn fashion. There is something so comfy about it. The light layers and booties always look so stylish. I can’t wait to play dress up!

 

The beauty about Autumn fashion is that you can incorporate many of your summer pieces into your new season’s wardrobe, by styling them right. Summer and Autumn pieces and accessories can work hand in hand to create the perfect wardrobe. You may need to get some in essentials in order to pair up existing pieces and accessories correctly. So this Late Summer Fashion Inspo/Wishlist post may come in handy. Here are a few pieces and accessories you may need to get this look right.

 

The Trench Coat

The Trench Coat is one of the most important pieces when it comes to late Summer/Autumn fashion. It is an effortless stylish piece. Great for dressing up or down, and for dealing with the wet weather. I always like to have at least 2 trench coats in my wardrobe. My preferred colours are black and camel brown, like the stunning piece above, by Aquascutum London.  The minimalist design and the functionality of the trench coat makes it an absolute must-have this season.

 

An Umbrella for Late Summer/Autumn Fashion

I am usually not good with big umbrellas. They are usually misplaced somehow, so I tend to stay away from them. However, a small umbrella that would fit into my handbag would be fantastic. It would even be more fantastic if it looked as good as this stunning compact club check umbrella by Aquascutum London.

 

Pandora Bird of Paradise Scarf

I like to have a scarf with me at all times, especially during the Summer and Autumn months. Scarves are fashion essentials, and I can’t be without them. They are also great multi-tasking pieces. I use a scarf for a light cover when it gets chilly. I also love styling it as a head tie or neck tie. This beautiful Pandora Bird of Paradise scarf would be a great wardrobe addition. I love the silk blend and the fact that it is lightweight. When it comes to scarves, the lighter the scarf, the better for me.

 

Club Check Fold Handbag

Now Autumn fashion would not be complete without a stylish bag like this Club Check Fold Handbag.  I love the check design. It would look effortless stylish when paired with the check umbrella above. This stunning handbag oozes class and sophistication. I want it now!

Amy Adams Covers ELLE UK November 2016 Issue

gallery-1476125885-amy-adams-november-cover-elle-2016

Photographed by Liz Collins, styled by Anne-Marie Curtis, Amy Adams wears Balenciaga.

 

The beautiful and talented Amy Adams is on the cover of ELLE UK November 2016 and she looks so cute. I love the cover. She looks so relaxed and pretty, like a typical girl next door, and I love it. I also love the fact that she is channeling her autumn style in Balenciaga. Loving the autumn vibes.

This issue promises to be a good read. In her interview with ELLE UK, Amy discusses her struggles to balance family and work, being compared to other women in Hollywood, the issue with the pay gap and being over 40 in a competitive industry.

‘The negotiation comes to a standstill and I have to make a choice, which a lot of women do. I can walk away. But I choose not to…This is an issue not just about women’s pay; we need to work on how women are viewed in society and then the pay will be reflected in that…Right now time is more important to me. So that’s what I negotiate because any time I’m working, I’m not spending with my daughter.’

‘I gave up wanting to look like Charlize when I was, like, 12. I have short legs, I’m athletic, I have pale skin that reacts to cold and hot moisture. You just have to accept who you are. In those comparisons, I always lost.’

This five-time Oscar nominee is also the star of Tom Ford’s new film Nocturnal Animals and Sci-Fi drama Arrival, both of which are garnering five-star reviews and Oscar buzz at the moment.

I would love to read this issue. I can see myself grabbing a copy. I have always liked Amy Adams. I find her very interesting so I would naturally want to know more about her. The price usually puts me off but I have been feeling generous lately so I may get this.

What do you think of this issue? Are you a fan of Amy Adams?
