Fashion Tips from Fashion Icon – Iris Apfel

The stylish 100 year old – Iris Apfel is fashion goals all day, everyday. I have been a huge fan of this lovely woman for many years. Her colourful and trendy sense of fashion is always a beautiful sight to behold. I love seeing her colourful, stylish outfits. She inspires me in so many ways, and I can’t believe she is 100 years old tomorrow! Iris Apfel is fashion and life goals all the way, and that is why I am all ears whenever she has anything to say.

Fashion Tips from Fashion Icon – Iris Apfel

Here are three of my favourite fashion tips from Iris Apfel:

Dress to please yourself

This is a great tip. Many times we are carried away with the styles in vogue, that we forget to dress for ourselves and not for social media or the public. It is nice to know what styles are trending just incase you like them, but the first thing to have in mind when playing dress up is to dress to please yourself. That way you will step out feeling confident and comfortable.

Explore fashion

This is another fab tip. To create your own signature look, you need to explore what is out there. I love exploring fashion by trying new styles and pieces to see how they fit into my personal style. As a fashion blogger, it also allows me to try out new trends. Exploring fashion is a great way to discover likes and dislikes.

Go for signature pieces

Iris Apfel is known as the Queen of Accessories, and you just need to Google her to find out why. This fashion icon wears a lot of accessories and she makes them work. I would love to see her accessories collection. I bet she has loads.

When it comes to investing in my wardrobe, I spend a little more on signature pieces that would send the test of time. I like to spend a little on accessories, especially hand bags. Going for signature pieces allow you create the perfect capsule wardrobe.

Here is me wishing Iris Apfel a fantastic birthday for tomorrow. 100 years on this planet is something and she looks like simply gorgeous. Happy birthday to the Queen of Accessories.

 

 

Style Icon: Enya

I listen to songs by Enya everyday on my Spotify. I love her music so much that I have an entire playlist dedicated to Enya! At the time of writing, the playlist has 55 songs, and I am forever discovering great tracks by her, so I am certain the playlist will grow even more before the end of the year. Enya’s music is just on of the things I like about this talented Irish singer-songwriter and musician. Another thing I really love about Enya is her simple sense of fashion. Her personal style is very chic and so feminine. She does wear a lot of colour. I have noticed she tends to stick to monochrome, and it suits her perfectly.

Enya has the figure to slay most looks and she always does on the red carpet. I love this stunning white dress she is rocking above. This was her look at the Grammys in 2017. I can’t fault the look in anywhere. From her hair down to the accessories, she stayed all the way.

It is incredibly hard to find any information about Enya online, especially when it is outside of her music. This style icon is incredibly private, even though she has been active in the music industry for over 40 years. It would have been nice to read some of her recent interviews and find out more about the woman behind the amazing music, but there are no traces of her granting an interview online. So I guess Enya will remain a mystery to us. Which I am sure is what she wants, and I can’t blame. The press usually do more harm than good. Let the music speak for itself.

What do you of Enya as a style icon? Are you a fan of her music? My favourite is The Forge of the Angels. You can read about last month’s style icon: Dr Wendy Osefo here.

Iconic Look: Brandy Norwood

Hello Fashion and Style lovers! Here is another celebrity fashion post for your reading pleasure. The beautiful and talented Brandy Norwood is the latest celebrity to be featured in the Iconic Look miniseries. Last month, the lovely Alicia Keys was the Iconic Look of the month and it was a very popular post. This time, Brandy Norwood’s iconic look is the talk of the month. I feel this beauty has aged a bit, she looks exactly the same way she looked many years ago. I cannot get over how amazing Brandy Norwood looks in 2021. It looks like she is ageing backwards. Do you agree?

Over 20 years apart and it is clear Brandy Norwood hasn’t aged a bit. She looks even more beautiful. I love seeing her rocking her braids. They look so amazing on her. I wore braids a lot growing up and Norwood is one of the reasons why I did. She made me want to have my hair in braids every time. Brandy’s braids were her signature look. We couldn’t think of Brandy without the braids, or braids without Brandy. They go hand in hand, and I still prefer to see her rocking her braids.

Looks aside, I am also a huge fan of Norwood’s music. Her hit song – The Boy is Mine featuring Monica, is always on my Alexa playlist. I also love her song Afrodisiac. It would be nice to hear something fresh from her. I feel like I haven’t seen much of her around in the last few years.

What do you think of Brandy Norwood as the Iconic Look of the month? Are you a fan of her look and her music? Please sound off in the comments section below. Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely day.
