It is one of the hottest trends for Fall/Winter 2015, be inspired to add this pop of colour to your wardrobe! It’s almost winter, which means all our favourite trends are ready to rule the world! Some people can’t stand winter, but with the right key items and a bit of guidance on how to style them, you’ll be smiling all season long.

Here are tips and ideas which will have you looking stylish, while keeping warm.
“Top-to-toe grey is a key look for winter — it’s definitely the It colour this winter.” Wear a grey top with grey denims and add textures plus prints like an Aztec throw to prevent your look from feeling one-dimensional. This look is perfect for a night out to the movies.

“I love how the leather insets update this classic oversized blazer to look quite new and edgy.” Wear a blazer with a black top, black skinny denims, a statement necklace plus ankle boots. Top it off with an up-do hairstyle, pop on some red lipstick and you’re ready for date night.

A polo neck is such a great layering item and teaming it with high-waisted denims will give it a trendy 70s flavour. “This ensemble works well with pointy stilettos, a statement necklace and fluffy jacket draped over your shoulders.” You’re now ready for breakfast with the girls.

Although it’s not new, the sports luxe trend is still dominating runways, and by the looks of things, this trend won’t be saying goodbye anytime soon. Not knowing how to glam up active-wear is a thing of the past. Whether you’re heading out for a night on the town, or having supper with the gang, you’re sure to turn heads.

It’s important to make sure that you’re at least wearing one formal item that adds glam to your look. Dresses with a sporty element go great with a pair of skinny denims and a hot pair of platform wedges.

Active skirts are so hot right now; they’re comfy and chic! Have fun in the sun wearing this active skirt paired with a fitting tee, denim jacket and platform ankle boots. The boots add a feminine yet playful touch to the look.

Don’t be shy to experiment with colour to give your outfit some flare
Hair

Up-dos are perfect fall/winter hairstyles as they are protective and stylish. We love the fall season but let’s face it, the change can be a bit damaging to our strands. Up-dos give us that freedom of being stylish and protect our ends. They can always be worn for a long period of time with little to no maintenance. Add some accessories to your up-dos this fall.

Most hairstyles can be made into a “fall/winter hairstyles” by adding some accessories. They can take a basic hairstyle to something extraordinary. Some of my favourite fall/winter hairstyles accessories are: beanies, knitted hats, printed scarves, flower headbands and so on. These items can turn a bad hair day around. Give them a try this fall.

What’s an easy make-up tip that you regularly use.
The tip is; I wear a lot of red and pretty pink colour lipsticks. I think many of us tend to cringe when seeing lipstick on our teeth or someone else’s teeth. So I would suggest that you always do the following; after applying your lipstick, fold a tissue and put it between your lips. Make sure you press your lips together on the tissue paper. Any lipstick that was on your inner lips is now on the tissue. This step is crucial, as lipstick on the inner lips will rub off onto your teeth after you’ve checked yourself out in the mirror. — Online.
