Best of Spring/Summer 2014 Trends revealed

Spring/Summer is always the right time to look for the trends, because you know most of the styles are going to be around for a few months. Also, after the dark theme of the fall and winter, the summers make way for fresh colours and designs. If you are looking for Spring/Summer 2014 trends, here’s a list of the top picks.

1. Go metallic: While this is not something you haven’t seen before, metallic looks work because the colours are not staples for the summers and spring. The best thing about the current looks is the choice of patterns, which is not restricted to one colour but moves ahead to many shades and even the rainbow hues. There are skirts, dresses and accessories to choose from.

2. Go mesh style: If you are someone who dares to bare, get a good camisole and top it with a transparent or mesh outfit. The more you explore in the designs, the better, but this is one of the best trendy designs for the upcoming season. Black and white are great choices for that more stylish look, but given the fact that pastels are hot options, you can try them as well.

3. Go pastel with the palette: Floral for spring and summer is something we are always used to, which is why the choice of pastel colour as the spring essential is a good welcome change. Seen at most of the designers, the colours are versatile, starting from the beautiful rose and lavender shades to more cool shades of yellow and blue. Pick the single colours or opt for patterns- the choices are varied as ever.

4. Go the crop style: The Crop Tops are one of the hottest properties for spring this year. Spotted in DKNY Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection among others, the looks are different and stylish by all means. Of course, you need to get in shape for trying the style, but this is totally worth the time you spend at the gym. The black and white combination was something that was seen in most fashion weeks, but if you love the pastel clothes online and on the runways- choose them too!

5. Go white: Just mentioned that black and white have been among the trending colours of the season, but the statement white blouses seemed to be a total hit. Lovely designs and simply cool enough for casual and formal look, this is one look that can be experimented with. While some designers seemed to love the look with embellishments, there were others who styled their models with shirts having necktie detailing. Choose what suits you because the occasion often determines what you wear.

Happy styling for the spring and summer!

Holiday Dilemmas: What to Wear on the Beach

Source of the photo: From Google

Planning a beach holiday should be an exciting experience. You’re finally getting away from it all. You can completely relax and finally get that fantastic tan you’ve been dreaming of all winter long. However, for many women, a beach holiday can also be really stressful.

After all, you’re planning on showing off your body to potentially hundreds of people. Unless you are 100% confident with your body, for many this can be really distressing! But have no fear; there are quite a few things you can wear that’ll help boost your confidence on the beach. By following a few simple tips, you’ll be able to get that well-deserved relaxation without stressing out about your body.

Problem solving swimwear

You don’t have to wear a bikini on the beach to look good. Today’s swimsuits can look really stylish and help hide any insecurities you may have about your tummy, thighs and bum. There are even specially designed swimsuits which hold parts of your body in, creating a flawless silhouette. For a modern style swimsuit, opt for one which has a halter neck design.

Well-fitted bikini tops

If you plan on wearing a bikini, make sure it fits well. Ideally, you should get yourself measured before you buy a bikini. Many women don’t even realise they are wearing the wrong size bras and swimwear! By getting measured you’ll be able to choose a bikini that fits comfortably and will provide you with plenty of support throughout the holiday. Resort is one of the brands selling well fitting bikinis for all ages, available at Isme.com.

Dress for your body shape

Do you know which swimwear looks better on your body shape? Do you even know what your body shape is? Over the past few years, there has been a lot of focus on dressing to suit women’s various shapes and sizes. Different types of swimwear look better on different shapes. For instance, ruched swimwear can help hide problem waists and is great for pear shapes.

Highlight your best features

To draw attention away from the parts of your body you don’t like, wear bright colours that highlight your best assets. Stripy swimwear can help create a slimmer figure and it is also really eye-catching and fashionable.

Avoid a washed-out look

When you have pale skin, it’s important to choose the right coloured beach wear. Depending on your skin tone, some will make you look washed out. Pale skin tones typically look best with black or deep purple swimwear, whereas lighter and brighter colours are recommended for those with a darker skin tone.

Of course! If you're going to protect your eyes from the sun. You should also protect your skin from

the harmful rays of sun. Avoid sunburn and skin cancer, always use sunblock with the highest spf

protection. Especially if you don't want to be overcook from the sun and be "nognog". lol!

The perfect way to enjoy the beach is the perfect music. Don't forget to bring your mp3s, ipad, ipod
or any gadget that can produce music. Plus a speaker or a earphones. Then, turn on the reggae music.
