Top 5 Bikinis for this Summer

by Joelyne

If you’re wondering what to wear to the beach this Summer, look no further! I have found the perfect bikinis for you, a whole set starting from around $55 bucks – pretty good I reckon! I find that Asos is very affordable and have something for everyone. Whether you need a supportive bikini, or one for a smaller chest, or a swimsuit. They have so many pretty prints too, It’s so hard to choose which is my favourite! I am really wishing I could own all this swimwear to flaunt at the beach this summer, but I might have to settle with one or two! (On a budget at the moment)

My favourite would have to be the yellow 50′s bikini, as it’s so fun and would look perfect with my Jane Iredale Lip Stain. If you’re going to dress the part, might as well go the whole way right? Think Marilyn Monroe & Katy Perry! Katy does the 50′s look fabulously, and I can imagine her with her red lippy at the beach with a polka dot bikini on!

Sydney has been so up and down with the weather lately, I just cannot wait till it’s beach weather! Really want to do a beach picnic!!!

Picture of me; Spetses Greece 2010 wearing a bikini I purchased in Greece!

How To Wear White

by Joelyne

White clothing is one of my favourites. If you want to stand out wear white, if you want to stand out even more, where white from head to toe. Do you love white as much as me? Apart from the fact that you have to be very careful when eating a pasta dish with red sauce! Yep, I’m the culprit. It happened to me! Spilled a whole plate of it on my white pants. Will never forget that one! However, not even that scared me off wearing white. I can’t help it – I like to stand out

The great thing about white is that it goes with anything. Here are some tips for when wearing white!

Keep jewellery & accessories simple
Wear it with your summer tan
Add a pop of colour somewhere, like bright nails, bag or shoes
Wear undergarments close to the colour of your skin tone
Don’t wear all white to a wedding

So here I’m wearing Puff Sleeved Chiffon Top (26AUD) from an online store ‘I Wear Sin‘. Also, they have a promotion going on at the moment which you should enter! www.iwearsin.com/voucher

How do you colour coordinate an outfit?

by Joelyne

Wearing: Victoria & Woods cardi & singlet, Lovers & Collaborators skirt, Konstrukt heels, Time Culture watch, MAN the label necklace, Lost Revolution ring.
Hi Pretties This is the outfit I wore to the FAMOUS Magazine edit runway show on Saturday. I wanted to wear something bright and colourful. Mixing different colours in your outfit is the way to go these days I believe. There’s something very uplifting about it.

img8052r How do you colour coordinate an outfit?
I stumbled across this website about colour coordination, and found some interesting info (below) which could help you pick colours for your outfit – if you’re hoping to colour block, or just contrast two items.

img8055q How do you colour coordinate an outfit?
For example, in my outfit, I’m wearing a bright green/yellow cardi, which goes extremely well with the fuschia coloured watch. So basically, the best matches are those opposite each other, and side by side in the colour spectrum.

From Ask Andy about your Clotheswebsite:

Complementary colors:

Color%20Wheel%20Complementary How do you colour coordinate an outfit?

Are those directly opposite one other in the color spectrum or wheel. Blue is opposite of orange so gold, rust, and brown compliment shades of blue.

Analogous colors:

Color%20Wheel%20Analogous How do you colour coordinate an outfit?

Colors, which are next to each other on the color wheel, go well together, such as blue pants, a blue-green shirt and a green jacket.

Do let this inspire you to create your very own colour coordinated outfit!

flappers

by Joelyne

Flapper girls sported a bob cut, loved jazz music and showed a bit of skin. This was the era that skirts were shortened and knees were exposed! Oh NO! How naughty!!! Flappers even powdered or put rouge on their knees to show them off when dancing!!!

How exciting that these women in the 1920′s didn’t care about what the norm was and set a statement, a new style. Fashionable dressing in these times were usually for the rich and because of this new uncomplicated style, all women could embrace it and be ‘fashionable’.

Coco Chanel promoted the styles we associate with flappers and did you know she was the originator of the little black dress?!

I would like to think that I have a little bit of ‘flapper’ in me. A bit naughty and daring!!! haha
