On-The-Go Style Hacks to Instantly Boost Your Outfit


Bonjour,
How are you? Hope all is well.  I've been great, took a break from blogging primarily because I've been busy moving house.  Interestingly, it's not just me.  We all have busy lives, we all obsess over busy schedules, we all walk on busy streets, and we cannot get enough of it.  I'm going to (stealthily) segue this into what to do fashion wise if you are on-the-go but still want to pull an outfit together.

Leave your coat untied - Not for all coats, but it can look 'effortlessly put together' and let's be honest, that's the best kind of look to go for.

Cuff your jeans -  Looks great with booties and/or boyfriend jeans.

Add a pop of colour - Whether its via lip colour, accessories or a sweater, a pop of colour can brighten up even the most dreary of weeks.

Throw on an oversized scarf - I am currently OBSESSED with oversized scarves.  They are everything to me right now and if you have one, I am sure they are everything to you too.

Front/Side tuck your top - I love this trick because it can make casual t-shirts look so formal.

I hope you find this useful!

What is your go-to outfit for a busy day?

My Number One Shopping Rule to Kick Impulse Shopping to the Curb!


In my opinion, one of the best traits to posses is knowing when to spend and when not to.  By knowing when not to spend I don't mean saving, I mean stopping yourself from impulse shopping.  I think we've all done it, it's the thrill that really gets to us.  Apart from the adrenaline, some other key signs of impulse shopping is when you buy yourself an item you already have something similar to, like two lipsticks of a similar shade (I know i've done this), buying something just because something is on sale, or buying something because your friend has it and you want to make a statement about having it too.  (I know people who have done this)

What I do instead of immediately acting on the impulse to have a beauty or fashion item is that I wait three days.  I've told friends of mine this and it always seems to work.  If you want something but you don't need it by all means try it on and enjoy that but if you're unsure, wait three days.  If you still are thinking about how amazing it is and if you are planning outfits in your head (everyone does this right? just me?) then by all means go back and get it.  Give this a shot next time, trust me your wallet will thank you for it!
