Holiday glam

What I love about the holidays, is that it's the perfect excuse to go crazy on the dressing up part. You have Christmas parties, new years eve, family reunions, and the list goes on and on. I find, that a lot of people don't know where to buy their outfits, or how to combine everything to an outfit that looks ama-zing. Which is no biggy, because I'm here to help you guys..I've collected some beautiful dresses, shoes, hairstyles, nailpolishes and make up styles, to get you through this time of the year.

You can find easy tutorials online. Just type the style you want to create in google or youtube, and you'll find hundreds of videos and explanations how to create your holiday hairstyle.



Make up & nailpolish 





I love make up. I think every young girl or woman does. I'm not a big fan, of the over the top kinda stuff. I'm all for the nude, sunkissed, highlighted faces. To create that look, here are some products that are simply amazing and easy to use.

Frederic Fekkai's Glossing cream



I recently bought this product online. I read a really good review, so I found this website, strawberrynet.com, where I ordered this brilliant product. The review was right, the repair is ama-zing! So this is how the product works ; 

step 1. You wash your hair with your normal shampoo and conditioner. Fekkai has that aswell, if you're interested, www.fekkai.com. 

step 2. you dry your hair with a towel, it has to be damp or dry for the use of this product. So you can choose eather way, what suits you best. 

step 3. You take a pea size of the product in your hands, and you rub them together, so the product smooths out evenly. 

step 4. You go through your hair, I focus on my points, because they are really dry. You can really rub it on your hair, it won't get greasy, as long as you don't use too much product.

Instantly, you see that it adds a lot of shine, the morning after, i was amazed, at how healthy my hair looked and felt. The shiny effect comes from the olive oil.

Another good thing to know, when you rub it on dry hair, it doesn't make it greasy at all! It stops your hair from being frizzy.

It's a product used by a lot of celebs, and their hair stylists. Especially on fotoshoots, and red carpet events. This product is a keeper! I recommend it to all of you!

It's gonna be a supersized androgyn geeky winter!

As we burry our summer dresses far away in our closet, I can't help but look forward to our winter that's coming. When I take a look at the upcoming winter fashion, and most importantly, the streetfashion, I see 3 undeniable trends that are taking over this '12 winter. Let me introduce trend #1 ; 

Supersize me








Me wearing a oversized sweater from Episode


This trend is a personal favorite, actually all 3 of them are, I love wearing oversized sweaters. If you accesorize them well, you can create a look that's flawless in no time. Oversized goes well with a lot of stuff..it's all in the way you combine them. For example, an oversized sweater, with some denim shorts, some tights, and a flat shoe, or boot. Accesorize with a shoulder vintage bag, and a lot of golden necklaces, and some bracelets and a gorgeous big ring. Add some nailpolish as the final touch. eh voila, you've got a flawless, but very comfy look. Wear your hair in a high messy bun, add some neutral nude make up, and a geeky pair of glasses.

androgyn look 


Dolce&Gabbana are a big fan of the androgyn look

Leighton meester rockin a mannish suit with tie and high heels

Rachel bilson 
It all started with this lady, Coco Chanel,  in the 20's she started making comfortable clothes for woman, using jersey instead of the corset fashion they were all used to at that time. She created the little boy look,  but always found a way to maintain a certain class and style. 

I am a big fan of these gender crossing outfits. I think there is nothing sexier than a woman dressed in a mannish suit, including tie, and a pair of high heels. An androgyn look, mostly contains a black and white outfit. Pretty basic, but with the right amount of make up, and accesories you can add a certain amount of class. For example just by adding fierce red lips, heavy black mascara on the eyes, and some highlighter, it gives it that little extra. Shoe wise, it works eather way, high heels, or a flat mannish shoe, both are evenly stunning. 









Geeky glasses 

I own two pair of geeky nerd glasses. Over the last few months, you could notice the upcoming trend of the nerd look. Most pairs do not even have real glass in them, they're just a statement of style. As our mine, I think it adds something very cute to your outfit. Without much hassle, you can upgrade your outfit in 5 seconds. The glasses look great with a low ponytail, or a high ponytail, with your hair straight back. Also the messy bun is a nice combo. Or your hair parted in the middle, and a long sleek look looks awesome aswell.
