HOW TO: WEAR ALL WHITE

White can be slightly frightening when thought of in such large proportions, but sometimes why not go all out? White is truly an elegant and beautiful colour, but let's be frank, who isn't just a bit too messy to wear it all the time?

But if you're in that brave mood, then a white jumpsuit is perfect. It's a simple fuss-free piece that creates all the right proportions and flow. I threw on this artfully distressed Levis denim jacket that I instantly fell in love with a few years ago. Denim can be the perfect segue into white pieces.
And if you own white sneakers then you're already halfway there!

Hope you guys had a splendid festive season and ready for what the new year has to bring! Sincerest apologies for not being on top of my blogging game for the past month but I feel as though it is all going to change from now on.

Thought this was a fitting post to begin the new year with, as its the time for a refresh and maybe a few changes.

I have been dying to show this Reformation coord which I picked up in their last mega sale. I have been coveting everything from this brand for quite some time now, but since I'm not much of an online shopper (I know, shock horror, but multiple bad experiences can do that to someone) I couldn't take the risk until there was an irresistible bargain. And now I'm happy to be able to say I have the perfect summer coord!

Trust me, I am just as surprised as you are to see me in all white, but who wouldn't fall for this jumpsuit? I am a number one fan of jumpsuits (exhibit A, exhibit B) because they are so damn easy. You've got an outfit all in one piece making it a no-brainer way to dress all the time (that's until you have to go to the bathroom). Take the opportunity to play up with accessories & shoes with a simple simple white piece perfect for spring & summer.

I admit I've never played much sport but if I did this is what I would envision my glorified outfit to be. White sneakers basically makes it dead easy to mix high-low pieces which I talked about in a recent post any outfit making it acceptable to wear almost everything in the daytime and nighttime. And by combining them with a structured mini dress with minimal detailing means one of the easiest outfits for those "nothing-to-wear" days.

BEAUTY EDIT: THE RED LIP

So it has been a while since my last Beauty Edit but what better way to return but with a classic red lip.

I was lucky enough to get a hold of the limited edition Nars Digital World lip pencil set with five mini lip pencils - a perfect way to try different colours and finishes. Seeing as the Nars lip pencils have proven to be a cult beauty product for many, I thought it was about time to give them a go !

A definite stand out, and one of the most popular, was Cruella - a bombshell red. (See my latest GRWM for the Descanso, a nude colour) Now Cruella is not quite a true red, but slightly deeper/blue toned which matches my skin tone perfectly. It has a very matte finish, meaning it will not budge all day (and I'm sure survive a few smooches), however, it does rely on a good exfoliation and moisturisation before application.

A lipstick can be a really simple, no brainer way to make your outfit or brighten up your face and makeup.
