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.

It’s easy to slip into shorts on your day-off. It’s so practical. However, most women also find this casual style option a little bit too laid back, get frustrated of their style routine and are not sure of how they can enhance it without giving up the comfort of shorts. Here are a few style tips to glamourise your casual shorts look: 1. No more dull pairing of shorts and t-shirts. Comfort is key but some interesting accessory details, can take the shorts and t-shirt look from undergroomed to effortlessly chic. Just a simple detail of a watch and a ring or necklace, whichever you prefer, matched footwear that is not Havaianas or Birkenstock, will do wonders. 2. Not so keen on fussing with the accessories? Then playing with shorts in different prints and colours could be an alternative. Pair them with blouses with some embroidery or print detail. Just a simple shirt tucked into the shorts, is chic and smart. 3. Smarten up the knee length shorts: Stylish bermudas are out there ! When styled with even a simple top/blouse, it can be so sexy.

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. Professional women always face the dilemma of working out how to look powerful without looking too manly. Here is how – Victoria Beckham is…

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.
