Trend 2014 – How to wear metallics

Posted by imageandme in Online shopping, shopping tips in Singapore, Style For Women

We love metallics. Add a metallic detail in any form to your look and you take the look from ordinary to luxe. As the metallic trend continues in 2014, here are some ideas on how you can wear metallics. 1. Don’t be afraid to wear it in the day. Pair metallic with denim. Below is an example of a skirt with design details woven in metallic thread paired with a denim shirt for a stylish casual look. Team this with a black or navy bag with gold buckles and keep the footwear simple. 2. For a bolder day look, go for a completely metallic skirt in jacquard with a t-shirt top. Yes it works and the combination of different textures makes the look very interesting.   3. Match a metallic patterned trouser with a simple black top. Very chic.   4. Use metal accessories to elevate the effect of neutrals. Pair shiny gold or silver with black, whites, grey or beige and see the outfit come to life.   Below are some style ideas of how celebrities have done metallics in the past: Bold metallics worn by Elle Macpherson (note the gold accessories paired with the silver) and Nicole Richie…

Make-up look for party season 2013

Make-up looks to try this party season

Posted by imageandme in shop in singapore, Shopping in Singapore, shopping tips in Singapore, Style For Women

Planning your look for the party season? You might have given a lot of thought to what you would like to wear, here are some ideas of make-up looks that you can try to match the mood. 1. Try a glitter liner just above your black eyeliner to add some sparkle.   2. Try glitter eye shadow for a combination of smokey and sparkle. For a very bold statement, try glitter eye shadow with diamante eyelashes, like Katy Perry. 3. If glitter is not something you feel so comfortable with then go for a little sheen with , right at the corner of your eyes to make them brighter and lift the look to match your party outfit. See it here on Blake Lively and Olivia Wilde.   4. If heavy make-up does not work for your eyes, highlight your lips. Play it up by lightening up the eyes and adding a strong dark colour to the lips. This look works better for those with fuller lips. A strong lip colour in a maroon or deep red works both for women with dark or light hair colour. See it below like Camille Belle and Emma Stone.

How to Look Hot Like Andrea Corr

Posted by imageandme in Style For Women

Recently spotted wearing a black chiffon minidress walking along the streets of London was Irish singer Andrea Corr of pop rock group The Corrs. The gothic glamour girl looked stunning even with a baby bump, which made women envy her more. At the age of 39, people often wonder how she keeps her youthful look and savvy style. Corr was once voted as the “most beautiful woman in the world”, but she thinks otherwise. She said in an interview with The Guardian, “Though I don’t love every single part of me, there is nothing I would change.Things like Botox and fillers belittle who you are. If I did that to myself, I would be saying that the best part of me is what I look like, and I don’t want to believe that. As time goes on, it’s hard not being as beautiful, and I’m sure it will get harder, but if I was to focus on that, I would lose the plot.” Hearing those inspiring words from Andrea Corr is an eye-opener to many women who worry about aging. With the right attitude, you can also look hot paired with the right clothes. Here are some tips on how you can…

Image & Me’s: Top 5 Styling Tips

Posted by imageandme in Style For Women

In a recent collaboration with Inverted Edge, we were asked to list down our top 5 styling tips. Here is what we shared with them and share with all our clients who are looking to build their personal style. 1. Know your ‘ style personality’: We can’t insist on this enough. Your style personality is the style that you are most comfortable and confident with. The key to recognizing your style personality is being able to articulate what you think is stylish. What are the design details you like, do you prefer structured shapes or unstructured looks, do you like patterns and prints and if you do then how much are you comfortable with ? How many accessories are you happy to wear and what kind – classic pieces or statement necklaces or accessories made out of unconventional materials? Build your style vocabulary by answering these questions and it will help you build your personal style. 2. Build your wardrobe with quality items or the best you can afford. Cheap fabrics and fast fashion only lasts for so long and in the long run you end up spending more money buying cheap clothes versus investing in quality items. 3. Use accessories to convey your unique…
