What Pants Are Right For You?

PANTS, PANTS AND PANTS EVERYWHERE!

A must have for this winter are multiple types of pants, all different styles and cuts. I have to be honest with you and say, i haven't really bought any of these pants i am about to show down below as i have not yet found the perfect ones that fit me right. Why do i have to be so petite:( 

Extreme Wide Leg-
Extreme wide leg pants are very risky, however if you wear them right, they look perfect! Yes, if you are short i wouldn't technically wear them as it would make you look more short.( not like there is anything wrong with being short)If you are tall, i would recommend buying a pair as they will compliment your legs and definitely make your outfit on point. 

Tip- wear a top tucked in to them or a cropped loose or tight top.

Looks-




Can be purchased on MarketHQ


Cropped tailored cuts-
Cropped pants that are a looser fit are great on short people( yay for short people). Not only does it define your legs and give it good shape but it also makes your legs look taller. The cropped length shows a bit of your leg, which makes them look longer. Don't ask me how but trust me, it does!

Looks- 

Can be found on Rag and Bone


Slimline Track Pants/Trousers-
Okay, so i am seriously in love with these pants.I have not yet bought a pair as i have tried on so many and they all seem to look like PJS on me... sigh :(
However, if you do find a great pair then i congratulate you because in all seriousness, they are perfect!! I love how they look like some ordinary track pants but when they are on, they look dressy and smart and ugh just utterly amazing.

Tip- pair them with a slim, heeled ankle boot.  

looks- 


Can all be purchased at MarketHQ


Leather/Faux Leather-

This type of pant is a slight baggier look and in a good way, looks like you didn't even make an effort that day. They are legit would be the fashion statement of the whole entire outfit you have on. You don't need to wear a full on top with this or pair it with an outrageous shoe, as the real leather or the fake leather makes the outfit stand out.

Tip- wear it with a plain simple bright top. The leather pants are better off in white or black. 

Looks-
Can be found in Billie and Rose
Can be found on MadisonSquare Boutique 



Checkered Print-
tartan, plaid and chessboard patterns are a must have for this winter and it's certainly one of my favs. At last, i do own a pair of these which i purchased at Forever21. 
There are slim fits, baggier looks or tailored cuts that you can find containing these patterns all around the shops and online.

Tip- If you walk past a pair, don't hesitate to try them on!

Looks-  
Can be found on Verge Girl
Cropped tailored cut.


Can be found on Missguided




Enjoy the rest of your week lovelies<3 So excited for the weekend as i will be in Sydney for the fashion weekend, ugh i can't wait!!

Tips and Tricks

Is anyone's lips dry, red and/or pealing? Is it because of this bi-polar weather, from kissing too much or are you lacking in nutrients? Well don't sit back and do nothing about it because i will gurantee you that it will become worse and your lips wont be feeling smooth and soft anytime soon. 


Here are the steps for smooth and luscious lips!

1. Grab a teaspoon of raw sugar and place it in a bowl.
2. Mix one teaspoon of honey in with the raw sugar. 
3. With a soft toothbrush massage the ingredients on your lips for a few moments.
4. Wipe of excess and put on cocoa butter- Palmers cocoa butter works magic.
5. It is best to repeat 3 times a day until you are happy with your results.

It really helps your lips, leaving them feel like they are brand new!

Who wakes up with panda eyes or just constantly has black circles beneath their eyes? Well I know just the way to solve this problem in the short term run. 

1. Place cold green tea bags on top of your eyes lids whilst your eyes are closed.( Put in the freezer for a bit until they are cold) 
2. Have a warm glass of water and fresh lemon to start your days to ensure you look fresh and glowing.  


I bought this book called "Hippies in the City" about a year ago, where it is a guide to natural urban living and ever since then,it hasn't left my sight. It has so many interesting information to help with your life and your well-being and these two tips happened to be in there. There are many tips and tricks in this book but these are the two i have tried and to be honest with you, they did wonders. 

I am not much of a reader. I can not sit down and read a book and cry over the fact that so and so didn't end up together but what i can do is sit down and read this book because i know that it is useful for my every day life and my all-round well-being. 

Chapters-
Chapter one is all about your body and what food is right for you, what makes your skin glow etc. 
Chapter two revolves around tips and tricks just like the ones i mentioned above. 
Chapter three is all about food recipes that are all natural and organic. 
Chapter four is drink recipes. 
Chapter 5 and 6 is about bath recipes and skin recipes. 
Chapter seven is all about hippy advice such as Goal setting and the good life.
Chapter eight is environment- not my cup of tea. 
Chapter nine talks about hippy hangouts. 

Here is a link if you would like to buy one. It was $30.00 but it was all worth it :)
