I know January is almost over but being
my first post for the year 2014, I will start by saying Happy New Year
and I hope you all entered the New Year right! With that said we need to
make sure 2014 is a super stylish year as trends and must- haves are
already rolling in. So to help you get into the stylish new year flow,
here are some style tips to make sure this will be your most stylish
year yet. Enjoy.
1. Getting Fit
Unlike most, I am not going to ask you to hit the gym and lose 50 pounds, instead I am going to encourage you to make realistic goals and make sure you buy the right pieces for your size. Don’t be fixated on the size tag on the garment you want to buy – not all designers use the same size chart, I can attest to this because my closet consist of sizes ranging from XXS to L, depending on how I want an item to fit. Instead opt for pieces that “fit” you perfectly and are not under or over sized.
Also sizes that are too big do not hide your sins it only adds on more pounds so be careful of that.
2. Clothing Trends to Follow
I think it is clear to say that the most popular fashion trend right now is the midi skirt. There are two characteristics of the skirt that make it a midi – the high waist and the hem-line. It can be fitted, flared or mermaid, as long as the skirt falls mid calf and the waist hits the natural waistline or above. We have seen the silhouette in a variety of fabrics and the skirt looks fabulous in almost every variation.
3. Accessory Trends
Statement pieces have reigned as the
accessories to have for a while now. Although statement jewelry is still
very popular, the key jewelry pieces to have this year are fine and
dainty.
We have seen the likes of Beyoncé, the
Kardashinas, and Kerry Washington etc all sporting this trend. The look
is understated and gives off a sexy-sophisticated vibe making it a trend
to replicate.
4. Hair Trend
I am a true weave fan. I love my weave long and natural, however I can
guarantee that I will definitely explore with the ever popular shoulder
length bob. The year is still quite new and many are trading in their
long locks for a more sophisticated shoulder length hairstyle. The
length is classic and yet on trend making it the perfect modern/classic
look for 2014.
5. Skin and Makeup Trends
2014 is all about beautiful skin. Flawless skin is totally in and once
your skin is flawless you have no need to have overdone makeup. Key
tools like Clarisonic will keep your skin exfoliated
and feeling beautiful everyday. Microdermabrasion and skin peels are
also key, however the most important factor is water – drink, drink and
drink some more because water should be your skin’s best friend. Water
is so good for you and will ultimately give you a glow you would want to
keep.
This is only the beginning lovelies.
Stick to this page this year as we continue to explore all the necessary
trends to have those that are yesterday’s news. Don’t forget to share
what trends you are loving and will be trying this year to bring out
your inner stylista.
