Posted by imageandme in makeover, Online shopping, Personal style for women, shop in singapore, shopping tips in Singapore, Style For Women, Uncategorized, Wardrobe Makeover, What to wear in Singapore

Leopard Print !! Many of us would shy away from it. And why not, this animal print, once upon a time was associated with ‘trashy’. However, this season, its in trend and with many celebs rocking it, we think there ought to be some ways to incorporate the leopard print ( or any animal print ) into your wardrobe. 5 ideas to start wearing Leopard print: 1.Wear it as a casual cami, the lightness of the fabric and the style makes the print easy on the eyes and doesn’t feel overwhelming on your frame. 2. Self print, keep it subtle like the top below. 3. Size matters. Smaller print doesn’t shout for attention. 4. Keep it modern by choosing the print in fun colours like pink or blue (or both ;)) 5. If you are not yet inspired to wear the animal print as an entire piece of clothing, how about including it in your outfit as an accessory. Key style tip to remember, since this pattern is quite busy, match it with a plain outfit to make sure its not entirely lost in a combination of patterns and textures. All of the above pictures are linked to sites where…

Style how-to: Printed skirts

Posted by imageandme in Personal style for women, Style For Women

Matching plain bottoms to printed tops is often easier than doing it the other way around. Printed skirts, especially with lovely bright floral prints, make quite a statement and for that reason many of us limit ourselves to matching them with plain simple styles of tops in white, black or a neutral for fear of not doing it right. However, we want you to enjoy bright patterns this summer. Here are some ideas on what to match your printed skirts with: Idea 1: Match them with striped tops. Always works. Idea 2: Match them with sweatshirts. Elegant and practical for cold, air conditioned indoors in Singapore. Idea 3: Match them with crop tops. They are cute and trendy. Idea 4: Match them with graphic t-shirts. Cool ! Idea 5: Match them with a denim shirt. Can’t go wrong. Some more tips to pick the right skirt: 1. Avoid patterns that are too big for your bodytype (unless you love the drama of loud patterns). 2. Watch out for gathers or open pleats at areas that you don’t attention on. Closely gathered waistband adds volume, which might not be what you want if your tummy is your area of concern. For more advice on which patterns, prints, colours and styles…

Comfort is key but some interesting accessory details, can take the shorts and t-shirt look from undergroomed to effortlessly chic.

Posted by imageandme in Corporate Style, Online shopping, Shopping in Singapore, Style For Women

Elsa Schiaparelli, the italian designer who is credited with the use of shocking pink, coloured zippers on dresses, embroidered shirts, wrapped turbans, pompom-rimmed hats, the “wedge” heel, has also to her credit the creation of the culottes, which she wore in 1931 and shocked everyone. (More on this innovative, bold designer’s story, read here). Culottes or Gauchos, Gauchos or culottes…??? For general information, let’s clarify the difference between Gauchos and Culottes. While Culottes are knee-length, divided skirts, Gauchos end slightly mid-calf or just below and don’t look so much like a skirt but cropped pants. However, the terms are used interchangeably and that works just fine. So Culottes are back and these part skirt, part pants are not only practical but look very chic too. Especially good news for ladies who would like to give their trouser routine a change, so here are some style ideas that you should give a try. 1. For formal workwear: A culotte suit for work wear looks smart when paired with a shirt and jacket. Been seeing some polished versions of these around in CBD.
