What to Wear and Do on Galentine’s Day?

13 Feb

We all know that February is the month of Love and I'm sure most of you have fully planed for the Valentine's day. But have you guys thought of what you'll do and wear on Galentine's day?? Some people say that Galentine's day should be National Holiday, then again I thought do we really require a special day to enjoy or celebrate our besties/girlfriends bonding time? This is something we should do on a regular basis isn't it? So, if you are kind of last-minute party planner like me, here are a few quick ideas to do and what to wear on Galantine's day. However, like I said, Galentine's day can be all year round so these ideas is not just for 13th February, it can be anytime you need that Ladies/besties bonding time, whether you are married, single, engaged or dating currently. A Sleepover or Big Girl Slumber Party: I'm sure you agree with me if I say we ladies are never too grownup for a slumber party, but now off-course little different than your teenage time sleepover party, a big-girl version of old fashioned sleepover. Think of loud 80s/90s music with wine or pitchers of refreshing margaritas blended, stay up all night gossiping, order pizza and spend a giggly night of chick flicks. A slumber party without a cute PJs is no fun, so make sure you get a great PJs and a weird eye mask (who cares even if you'll not sleep, right?). Thanks to today's trend, you can even wear out your pyjamas with heels, so you don't need different outfit, in case you want to hit the club in the middle of the night. Pamper Yourself: Why not pamper yourself this Galentine's day ? Take a girls trip to a beautiful country side spa and indulge in relaxing beauty treatments like massage, facials, manicure & pedicure and so on. Or, you can even organise a Home-spa-day and offer each other manicures or makeovers with a bottle of champagne. What to Wear? Slip into something chic yet cozy outfit like ruffle jumper, midi skirt and trainers. If you are in the warmer place, you may go for an off shoulder ruffle dress with fuzzy slides. However, you may spend the day mostly in your inner wears and robe, so ensure that your bra and undies are comfy and sexy with lace materials and spandex. Girls' Night Out: Step out with your girls in Destiny Girls style. There is nothing really like letting loose with your besties you trust. Laugh till you cry or until your cheeks hurt and dance your heart out, even better if you stick to No-Boy-rule, and to make that night the most unforgettable time, you've got to dress like an "Awesome Me". Opt for an outfit that is comfortable to last through the night smiling and dancing, something fierce that empowers you and suits your personality. My Pick: Ignore the usual club all black outfit and go for something sharp yet sweet alluring blush blazer suit, statement earrings and killer heels, or a trendy statement top with a pair of jeans. Shopping Spree: Go for shopping with your besties this Galentine's day. Trust me it is one of the best ideas to celebrate Girlfriends time. Whether you go for window shopping or doing shopping spree, make sure you are ready to try on many outfits. Enjoy your time complimenting one another and explore the new trends on stores. What I'd Wear? I would go for something comfortable and easy to change your clothes, like a bodysuit with a frilled skirt or button-up skirt and ankle boots, so that you don't have to get undressed completely every time you want to try clothes on. You may complete the look with your favourite coat depending on the weather. These are just a few ideas to do and outfit ideas to consider if you are not sure what to wear and do on Galentine's day. You don't have to follow strictly to the above mentioned ideas. All you need, is to take ideas wherever you can and making your own. Galentine's day is all about spending your time with your girlfriends to the fullest, so think something fun, relaxing and wear bright, happy outfits. If you cannot make it this time, don't worry, start planning for the next one, like I've mentioned before we don't need a special day to celebrate ladies bonding time! That means we can celebrate whenever we want!! Thank you very much for stopping by my blog. Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to share us how you celebrated this Galentine's/Valentine's Day on the comment section. Love Ashon <3

How To Take A Jumpsuit From Day To Night??

25 Sep

Picture Courtesy: q-e3.com Jumpsuit trend is waving a big move in fashion world since 2014 and looks like it's not going anywhere soon. The top to bottom all-in-one ensemble can create a striking chic look when you choose the right fit and styled the right way. Jumpsuits are super versatile and without a doubt, a wardrobe staple every fashionable woman should own. To make you feel even better and decide why you need to own at least one jumpsuit, it can be worn for different events from work or running daytime errands to a dinner date. If you haven't own any jumpsuits yet or planning to treat yourself with a stunning piece Warehouse.co.uk has various choices of Culotte Jumpsuits that look equally elegant and chic which can be styled in many different ways. Read on to get some tips on how to take a jumpsuit from day to night this fall. Choose the Right Accessories: Coordinating your jumpsuit with accesories may be much simpler than other garments, however you still may need a bit of thought or planning. Choosing or styling with the wrong accesories can make your stunning jumpsuit look sloppy or spoil the entire look. so make sure you pay attention to your accessories when wearing a jumpsuit, especially to shoes, a belt and your jewellery. The goal is to choose the accessories that can breakup it's monotony and can highlight your jumpsuit at the same time. For work. Dark, solid coloured jumpsuits tend to work best for formal or work wear however prints or brighter colours work equally sophisticated when styled with the right accessories. If you have a jumpsuit that has a deep neck cut, you may like to wear a button-down shirt or ruffle neck blouse underneath to give the formal touch to your attire. Complete the look with a great pair of pointy pumps, a long line wool coat and a few dainty jewelries. For Daytime Errands: Shoes play a major role when it comes to determining your outfit for a day or evening look. You may like to put on your comfiest sneakers or trainers with your jumpsuit for running your day time errands. In the case of sleeveless or string jumpsuit, wear a plain tee underneath during cooler seasons and throw on your favourite denim or leather jacket and you are ready to rock the day. For evening: A dress may be the safest choice for various parties or for evening look, but jumpsuits can be equally polished and beautiful a a dress. So, next time you have any parties to attent, move out from your comfort zone and try a well tailored and sleek jumpsuit that highlight your beautiful curves. If you want to create a statement look, opt for a sequined version with a pair of heels and matching clutch. These are some great pieces which I thought beautiful for each category however like I mentioned above, they are quite versatile and can be styled for many different ocassions based on the shoes and other accessories you choose.

My Husband Styled Me

19 Sep

If you often wondered or planned your next day outfit, you know that styling is not as easy as it looks. There are so many things you have to consider like the weather, your mood, where you are going, what fits, what is clean, what matches, which is comfy and so on, and therefore we end up spending a rediculous time to dress up a relatively simple classic outfit :D My husband simply don't get it, because he is the kind of person who just put on a plain tee or a button down shirt and a jacket with his skinny jeans and white trainers almost everyday! So, whenever I ask what should I wear he is not much help to me. Sometimes when I thought I dressed my best, he thought I'm overdressed or too classy. So I challenged my husband to style me one day for my work, starting from picking up clothes from the website to styling me. Since he doesn't give a shit about fashion, I was pretty terrified when he agreed to do it. Besides I had to trust blindly and hoping that he would picked something I liked, professional, wearable and I felt comfortable in it. At the same time I was excited what he would picked for me. Here's what he dressed me and to my surprised I'm very pleased with the choice he made, green and white stripe matching suit from quizclothing.co.uk. You can find them here and here. If you let your husband/fiance/boyfriend/partner dressed you, how do you think he will style you? Just a tee with a pair of jeans and sneakers or a long red slip dress?? Why don't you find out, it's quite fun! Here are some other PARTY DRESSES he thought I would look great in them Thank you for stopping by my blog, hope you enjoy it!
