Spring clean your wardrobe




Hello beauties!

The spring has already started with its beautiful colors & its time to clean your closet & makeup stuff to make room for new buys & trends.
Are you having a pull & push fight with your closet? If Yes! Its time to take out all the stuff which you no longer needs for this spring. Is your closet full of stuff which you don't remember owning? Then here is your solution. Choose a weekend or a day out of your spring break, put on your comfy outfit & tie your hairs in a high messy bun. Trying putting on the outfit which is easy to take off or put on as you'll be doing this alot.
For keeping your look up-to-date this spring & knowing what to keep & whats trending, read my trend guide for this spring here.
Here is how you can clean & restock your closet.

Good reasons to through away clothes:
1. They are old & worn.
2. They no longer fit you.
3. You don't feel good or comfortable in them.
4. you've never worn them.


Dividing your stuff into piles:
Start your way through your wardrobe, looking at each item as you go. Divide your stuff in four piles:

  1. Which you are giving away/donating, 
  2. Which you are keeping 
  3. Which you don't need for the season 
  4. Which you are not sure about. 
Self questioning:

  • While separating clothes ask your self these questions: 
  • Does it suit you? 
  • Is it right for the season?
  • Have you worn it in recent months?
  • Are you keeping it because it was expensive or a present? 

The only clothes which you should keep are the ones that fits you, suits you & not too old fashioned.
Pack the clothes in a separate box which you are not sure about & if during that month you haven't missed them that means you don't need them. They can be given away to the charity.


Restocking your wardrobe:
By the end of this you'll find yourself with a much smaller wardrobe. Now its the time to place back what you have kept. Start with separating your clothes into outfits to help identify what's missing.
You'll be needing basics like Tees, leggings, shorts, sundresses & knee length skirts.
Make a list of items which are missing so later on you can go & look out for them to complete your outfits.
You can keep your wardrobe to the limited number of colors to ensure most items are interchangeable.


Accessories:
You don't need all those boots & shoes for the spring so you can pack them up in boxes along with warm hats & scarves. Keep some bright colored & light fabric scarves for your spring & summer. Choose the right bags & jewelry to complete the look of outfit & if you find any piece which you don't need you can pack it up & keep.

This spring is all about bright colors, edgy graphics & tons of accessories. Read below to know how everyone pulling if the trends & find your style for this spring.




1. Bright dresses:
Put your blazers & swaeters back. Get some bright & flirty sundresses specially the ones in vintage cuts. Pair them with bright colored jewelry, shoes & bags for ultimate girly vibe!

Rock some galaxy & bold printed leggings. Keep your other ensembles limited to 1 or 2 bold colors, pastels, neons or even nudes.

We hardly get chance to wear hats but this spring pick up some straw hats with 1 or 2 bright colors & pair it with your outfit & dont forget your sunnies.



4. Flouncy skirts:
Bye-Bye mini skirts! This spring its all about above-the-knee-length skirts & with plenty of volume to twirl it. Go for different pleats & bright color paired with nude tops & pretty sandals.



5. Bright jackets:
Whether you go for a blazer, a bomber style or a moto jacket, this spring coats are all about bright colors & fun prints. Pair them up with simple colors.



6. Layered statement necklace:
One statement necklace is good but 5 statement necklaces are better! Pick a theme or shape & pile on pieces with different sizes, lengths & colors.



7. Cross-body bags:
This seasons bags are bright & more functional. The long crossbody strap makes it easy to carry & medium size purse means there is alot of room for your stuff while staying organized. This season fringe crossbody are a hit.



8. Fun flats:
I'm a big fan of flats & has no other option as I'm tall enough.  Ditch last years espadrilles &  slip into some super cool & comfy flats. Choose some bright colors with fun cutouts.


9. Graphic tees:
Graphic tees have quickly gone from "schlumpy" to "chic"! They're a great way to show off your own personality.  They can easily be dressed up with blazer, leggings or high waisted skirts. Layer them up with different prints for edgy vibe.


10. Printed shorts:
Denim cut-off are so old. Dumb them & go out in multicolored shorts & quirky prints like some Tribal & Aztec.

I hope you've found your style for this season. I'm loving the bright colors & prints. What is your choice? let me know by leaving comments below.
Enjoy the spring lovelies!

Narciso Rodriguez for Her review

Hello beauties!

I know I have been off with my posting & blog. Its like more than a month I didn't post anything because of my busy work routine. But Hey! Its my Spring break. So, today I woke up early to do some promised reviews.
I'm a big fan of fragrances & is always looking for new fragrances & pretty bottles.I have been looking for that "the one" perfume which can stay on my signature shelf forever. I tried looking for so many different perfumes & my search ended in last year's April when a friend recommended this scent with a bottle as gift.



Today I'm gonna review my favorite perfume of all time, Yes! its all about Narciso Rodriguez for her.
Narciso Rodriguez for her was launched in 2006 in baby pink bottle & black box after the original EDT launch in 2004. It is such a soft, musky & feminine scent that can make you fall in love every time. I love the dry-down rose notes combined with noticeable musky & sandalwood fragrance. It blends in your skin & warms up real quick for leaving you with mesmerizing soft rose scent & creamy-sweet musk.

Its not too strong or "On your face" kind of fragrance, but still very noticeable while maintaining its softness. One spray is enough to get the beautiful scent which can last whole day on you. Its a single fragrance which combines feminine, sexy, musky, soft & deep all at the same time.




This is not an old-lady-type of fragrance but for a women with confidence. Narciso is mysterious & sensual like a jazz singer in a dimly lit club, where the women still wear gloves & use cigarette holders.

I wear it on my wrists & whenever I go out & gets a whiff of air my wrist releases incredible sensual scent. I get alot of compliments every time I wear it or you can say whenever I feel like being complimented I wear this perfume & its never a miss. I always get inquired about it by both men & women. Sometimes I mix it with body oils to make a scent of my own & that's also a hit.



Final Verdict:
A must have & highly recommended fragrance by me. Its all in one at the same time. Representing the feminism & confidence of a women. Its simple but deep, random but luxe & offensive but erotic. Its expensive but totally worth your money. This is one hot mama!
