Outfit Post – A Skirt for Spring

May 24, 2018 By in Fashion, Outfit Post Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , 31 Comments

I mentioned before how I love wearing skirts and dresses in spring. They are just so comfy and when the temperature starts to rise, they are the easiest pieces to style. I am wearing a 2 new pieces here. The skirt was bought last summer but I never got a chance to wear it until this spring for some weird reason. It is a very light and comfortable piece and I can see myself wearing it over and over again this season.

The Red Crochet Long Sleeve Top is also a new wardrobe addition. I fell in love with this stunning top immediately I laid eyes on it. Crotchet tops are always pretty but I don’t have too many of them for some weird reason. So I was eager to grab this piece. I like the fact that I can style it in some many ways. It has been worn a few times already and this is one way I styled it. It is such a beauty to behold.

Every other item I have on has been worn before. One of the good things about have a complementing wardrobe is the fact that your outfits can be styled in different ways. And you don’t have to shop as much as you have pieces and accessories that would easily complement each other.

How to Dress for Spring When It is Cold Outside

May 24, 2018 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , 20 Comments

We had a long winter with snow showing up to surprise us all some weeks ago. Spring is finally here and we are loving it on most days. But on some days, it still feels a bit chilly. What kind of clothes should one wear in such weather? If you’re wondering which outfit’s the best for spring when it’s cold outside, then I’ve got you covered. You will find these spring clothing tips very useful.

  1. Make use of light layers

Time to give up the bulky wooly jumpers and go for a warmer and more spring-inspired approach. Spring is the best time to use layering to your advantage. Spring clothing is light and may not be able to withstand the cold. Layer your outfits with pieces made of materials that are warmer. Materials like cashmere or merino do great for those cold spring days.

 

  1. Rock your boots

In cold weather you have to keep those feet warm and no footwear achieves that better than boots. The warm fuzzy lining of the boots can keep the cold from coming in. The best part is that boots are stylish. Go for light coloured boots like tan, light grey or blush. The light colour complements the spring vibe.

 

  1. Wear a maxi skirt

Who said you can’t wear a skirt in the cold? Maxi skirts make a fine addition to the spring outfits. The reason is simple – on those particularly cold spring days, you can wear a pair of tights under the maxi skirt to keep warm. No one needs to know.

 

  1. Opt for jackets instead of coats

Coats are a huge reminder of the winter, but you don’t have to worry about wearing a coat when it’s cold outside. There are other warm alternatives you can swap your coats with. Blazers, bomber jackets and leather jackets make better spring alternatives for those cold spring days.

 

  1. Make denim your friend

Denim is a staple in the wardrobe even in the cold spring. The denim material is quite warm especially denim jackets. They look cool and laid back and they can provide the extra warmth most spring outfits can’t give. If you don’t have a denim jacket in your closet, make sure you get one this spring.

 

  1. Wear scarves

Scarves are elegant but most of all they keep your neck warm in a light way, which is perfect for the spring weather. Play around with colours that complement or add some contrast to your ensemble. But instead of a wooly scarf, opt for cashmere, merino or cotton. They are warm and stylish too.

 

  1. Add one spring item at a time

As much as you want to wear your spring clothing as soon as the first signs of spring emerge, it is wiser to transition into the new season one clothing item at a time. When the warmer spring weather kicks in you would have fully transitioned to spring clothing.

As a candle lover, I always have candles in my home. Candles create this a symphony of scents, which leaves my home smelling amazing. They are also a beauty to behold, which works well as a home decor. I had the lovely opportunity of reviewing 2 personalised scented soy wax candles from Sweetness & Light Summer Range – Summer Nights and Summer Kitchen. These luxury handmade candles are made with high quality Eco Soya Wax and Essential Oils. They are perfect for both indoors and outdoors. And I am a huge fan of the brand.

All the giveaway details are below. But first, let’s find out more about the Sweetness & Light brand.

The Story Behind Sweetness & Light

Sweetness & Light started in 2015 while Kristie Naha-Biswas (the owner) was on maternity leave. She was in need of new ways to fill up her time and was drawn to candle making. Her love for candles created Sweetness & Light, and she has not looked back ever since.

So what makes Sweetness & Light candles unique? The luxury range of soy wax candles have been carefully selected to match memories and suit different occasions. The fact that all the candles are made from Soy wax is great, as soy wax candles have many benefits over traditional paraffin wax scented candles including soot free, non-toxic and much healthier and eco-friendly. 100% soya wax candles is much better for the environment!

Also, every Sweetness & Light candle can be personalised with a name/message which adds a very unique touch to every candle.

My thoughts

I adore this summer candles. They are perfect! I really like the packaging with my name on the candles. It adds a unique touch for sure. The Summer Nights Citronella and Lime Scented Candle creates an uplifting atmosphere that suits the living room best. The lime smell is the stronger scent and I really like it. It reminds me of cool summer nights, and I find it really relaxing.

The Summer Kitchen Lime Basil and Mandarin Scented Candle has a lighter fresh scent which is great for warm summer days. The fragrance reminds me of the sun. Which is amazing with the current sunny weather we are having.

I love both candles, and I am looking forward to enjoying them this summer. Summer is never really complete without some candles burning in our home, and I love the ambience these candles create.
