Style Tip - Like most women I used to have a room filled with clothes and accessories and still yet I have nothing to wear, Then I go and purchase new more clothes.
But that is wrong and is not the solution.
👉 The problem was that my wardrobe lack the Right Solid Basics for a fun, flexible and successful styling.

👗 Basics are those few clothes that you can easily mix and match in different ways and with other clothes you’ve already got, they are interchangeable, they are versatile, timeless, they make dressing up easy and fun, you don’t waste much time thinking of what to wear because you wardrobe is in order, they can be worn all year round and is never out of fashion.

👗 In fact consider them as the pillar or foundations for a solid look and without them you can’t have a solid style.

⁉️ What are they?

Blog Post - Sharing some tips and tricks on how to dress and flatter stomach fat and love handles.

👗If possible avoid tight fitting clothes around your midsection as they will make those handles become more pronounce, choose Loose-Fitting style instead. ⚠️Attention! Not loose, shapeless style, I repeat loose-fitting.

👗 Third Piece or Layer like (Shirts, jacket, cardigan, blazer, coat, etc) will help hide those love handles, break the horizontal form and create longline vertical form while elevating a simple look to WoW!

👗 Invest In High-Waisted Underwear, Briefs or Panties as they help in tucking the stomach, give support, smooth, and hold a bit the midsection.

👗 Consider High-Waist jeans, trousers or skirts as they help gather the extra skin, put them in place and create a definition to your waist

👗. Get a Wrap Dress, they are the best style for all figures, as they are adjustable, can be tied loosely or tightly according to your form. I will recommend getting one that shows your neckline and your legs so as to direct attention there.

3 Things To Consider When Dressing -
👗 Consider creating a Proportion - Example: if you are Large up (big bust,etc), wearing loose, or any volume blouse will make you appear boxy, rather wear them in the narrow part of your body to help create a balance with your large upper body.

👗 Pay attention to Colours - wear dark colours in the area you want to minimize and flashy ones in the area you want to increase.

👗 Attention to Patterns and Lines as they do add volume. Wear them in the narrow part of your body.

💥 Hope those style tips helps.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, which you all a lovely week

⭐️ A good knowledge of your body shape is, freedom from bo***ge of buying and wearing clothes that doesn’t fits and flatter your unique body.

👗 Have your clothes ever been made by a professional tailor? You will notice that the clothes fits better than some bought in the boutique.
⁉️ Do you know why?
👗 Because it was sewed with your proper body measurements (shoulder, bust, waist, hips and length). Those clothes were made just for you, for your body shape, and frame

👗 Now, the fashion industries do not make clothes according to individual body shapes, rather clothes are fabricated with international measurements numbers. That is why what look great on Chloé might not look fab on Joy, even though sometimes we both might have similar body structure.

1. A good knowledge of your body shape will help you shop wisely and spend on clothes that flatter your unique body instead of accumulating piles of fashion trends that you will end up not liking after few wears.

2. There’s an I instant confident in us when we dress right for our body frame.
You walk with boldness because you know you are wearing what complement your body structure.
3. You can never dress wrong when what you are wearing harmonise with your body structure.
4. You gain time shopping 🛍 because you already know what work for your body and what doesn’t.

⭐️ Do you now understand why I keep singing that you know and understand your body proportion, which part is larger, narrow, broad, long, short, etc. so that you can dress it right

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, wishing you all a fabulous week
Bisous 😘😘

Oh yes the way we dress speaks of who we are, our personality, our beliefs and sometimes our culture.

Now, pause and ask yourself, (Is your style a reflection of who you are, what message are sending with your look Or are you following each trends trying to fit in with the crowds).

Bonjour et Bonne journée à toutes et à tous

Can we talk about those skin care essentials that you need during sunny days, I called them the must-have for both men and women.
☀️Sun Protection Body and Face Lotion, from 50+ is best recommended against Sun UV rays that contribute to skin ageing, skin cancer and sun age spots.

☀️After-Sun lotion for cooling, moisturising and soothing the skin after a long sunny day, personally, I use Aloe Vera and it works perfectly for me.

☀️Sun Glasses is not just for fashion, it protect our eyes against sun UV rays and not wearing one might increase your risk of macular degeneration(eyes disease) or cataract.
💥Remember to choose the right glasses for your face shape, also the one that complement your skin undertone.

☀️Sun Hat helps in protecting our hair, eyes, face and skin against sun rays.
⚠️Attention! There are different types and shapes of Hat, what looks great on a round face might not look good on an oval face.
👉 Head over to Blog where I shared best hats for your face shape.

☀️ Avène Eau Thermal Spray is a product that’s always in my summer bag, I simply spray it on my face and areas exposed to sun for soothing and anti-irritating.

☀️ Hand Fan - If you must know I am a fan of hand folding fan during warm weather, not only does it help keep me cool and feeling fresh, its also chic and elegant.

🙋‍♀️ Now, may I know how you protect your skin during summer!

Fashion Guide - In the past I avoided buying linens because of its wrinkles and I know I am not the only person.
But after learning the benefits, I fall in love and can’t stop convincing everyone to invest in them especially during summer season.

👉 They are breathable, absorbent, dries up faster and that makes them great for sweating weather.
👉 They are strong, durable and get more lustrous and soft even after lots of washes and years.
👉 Linen can be worn all Year Round because they are thermo-regulation, meaning they regulates with the outside temperature, cold or warm, thereby helping your body maintain the present temperature at a constant level.
👉 They are natural fine fiber derived from flax plants, making them eco-responsible and environmentally friendly.
👉 Do you know that linen is antibacterial, which means gems will have hard time surviving on them, no wonder is popularly used for bandages and bedding sheets.

⚠️ Attention, if you are using washing machine, choose the hand-wash program.
And if you are washing with your own hands, then pay attention to twisting as they might damage your clothes or even leave them with lots of shrinking.

💥 Hope you go today and purchase your own timeless Linen and enjoy wearing them all year round.

Bonsoir tout le monde, hope you all doing great, wishing you all a lovely evening.
Bonne Soirée et Gros Bisous 😘😘

🛍Shopping Tips: Is official, sales start tomorrow for 4 weeks in France and I would like to use this opportunity to share again some tips and guides that will help you as you go shopping.

🛍 Before the D day, I suggest you go through your wardrobe and take notes of what you’ve already got and what is missing.

🛍 Then make a List. Is not only when we go to supermarket that we create a list, you also need it when going to boutique. Write down what you most needed at the moment, it will help you avoid compulsive spending or buying things that you will regret after.

🛍 Now, go to boutique and spot out those items you need before the sales day, then return back on the first day of the sales to see if the price is reduced
Consider an online shopping, pick items and save them on the WishList, sometimes you might spot interesting prices.

🛍 Set a budget on how much you are willing to spend and stick to it. Don’t buy it because it’s cheap, or you might end up regretting Or wear it once and dump it, remember your wardrobe is not a waste bin.

🛍 Before you pay for that cloth, pause and ask yourself, (Do I Really NEED It) You might want it but not necessarily need it.
Learn to buy with your HEART and not your HEAD 🤪.

🛍 Finally, buy things that can be mix and match with what you’ve already got. I remember buying a lovely shoes 👠 but not having clothes in my wardrobe suitable to wear them with.

- Too much of everything has never been good and having too much clothes if you must know is outdated girls.
Stylish women has got a versatile wardrobe, they invest on few items that they can easily mix and match.

And like Edith said, money is no guarantee of taste, neither does it mean you’ve got style.
🤔🤔Food for Thought!

Good morning pretty people, hope you all doing great.
Sorry I have been absent here as I’ve gone back to work and have got too much tasks to do, please bear with me for now.

💥Fitting Tips - When buying clothes, please don’t stick much to the sizes (34,36,38,40,42,44) sometimes those tags 🏷 are not accurate, rather stick to the clothes that fits well.
The fact that you wear Zara 38 doesn’t mean your size is 38 in different brands and I am against Universal sizes clothes or One Size For All because we are built differently.

💥 I Recommend 👇👇

👉 A good knowledge of your body shape (shoulders, bust, waist, hips, legs, height) those are important in order to find a flattering fits.

👉 Why not try 2 sizes each time before buying, l wear size 38 but sometimes I look great on size 40 because 38 is too tight and doesn’t flow on my body.

👉 Take your clothes to specialise tailor for clothing adjustment like hemming, shortening the length, sewing to fit the waist or bust, etc.

👉 Pay attention to the Fabrics, some doesn’t bring out our best assets.
Example stretchy fabrics might look flattering on hourglass 8 body and wouldn’t on rectangle H body shapes.

👉 Finally Experiment. The right fits will automatically change your mood, you will notice the difference.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, Je vous souhaite une excellente journée et semaine

Style Tips - While Vertical Lines do give illusion of heights and a way of communication, the truth is that Lines (vertical / horizontal) does add volume if not worn right.

💥 How To Wear Them ...

👉 Pay attention to the size as thicker lines do add more emphasis making one appear fatter or broader.
👉 Wear lines on your slender area to create balance and avoid them on your broader or larger body part.
👉 When in doubt, go for thin lines as they are easy to break and dress.
👉 Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment, you are in charge.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, I hope you all doing great 👍

💥 These days you can achieve almost any style with low budget, so you don’t need Price Tags to look amazing.

📝 Note you can wear all the luxurious brand But if it is not working for your body shape, sorry is cheap and tacky.

Now may I know your opinion?

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, je vous souhaite une excellente journée 😘😘

Style Advice - I’ve been asked many times how to achieve a curvy shape.
It breaks my heart to read how ladies especially young girls want to look like runway or magazine models.
💥 Sorry to tell you that those models or influencers don’t look like that in the real life, some of the pictures you see are photoshopped, so wise up.

👉 I think you should ask instead on how to dress the body you have at the moment.
It is only when we appreciate and love the body we have, that we can be able to highlight and flatter the best part of our body.

Note 📝: All body shapes (Hourglass 8, Triangle A, Inverted Triangle V, Rectangle H, Apple O) are beautiful, understanding and learning to balance your body no matter the size, weight, height, will help you develop confident and attractive.

Style tips and guides on how to always look great and become a better version of yourself.
Hope it helps.

👉 01 - Don’t wear it because you see it on others, Rather dress for your body shape, choose clothes that help balance, create proportions and adaptable for your silhouette.

👉 02 - Don’t wear colours because that’s trendy and what all the influencers are wearing, Rather choose a flattering colour for your skin undertone while paying attention to the different shades of colours

👉 03 - Pay attention to the fabric and stitches 🧵. Yes they might be cheap but the truth is poor materials looks ugly and tacky while uneven stitches means poor fitting.

👉 04 - Don’t forget the power of accessories. A look without an accessory is like a food without salt or spices, tastelessness assured.

👉 05 - Take care of yourself and watch what you feed your body and soul with, remember we are what we eat.
Elegant people pay attention to what they eat, read, listen to, watch, because all those do influence our mental and physical health

Styling Tips - How to wear Breton stripes when you are not slender?

👉 Wear horizontal or bold stripes in the leaner part of your body to complement the broader area.
👉 Choose them in classic neutral version as colours do add weight.
👉 Triangle A body shape - you are leaner up and wider down, so wear stripes up to create balance.
👉 Inverted Triangle V, you are broad up and lean down, so wear them down to complement your wider shoulder.
👉 Petite Ladies, pay attention to the size of the stripes as bold stripes might overwhelm your figure, go for small stripes instead.
👉 Have you got belly fat, generous breast, or full figured, then -
👉 Layer horizontal stripes with blazer, jacket, cardigan, kimono, etc to break the broaden illusion.
👉 Show some skin if you want to wear horizontal stripes alone, attention will go to your legs, chests or anywhere the skin is showing.
👉 Use colours (shoes, bags, jewellery, scarf, or even jacket, blazer) to direct eyes where you want them.

💥💥 Always think of balancing when dressing.
There’s no taboo in fashion as long as you dress right for your body shape and frame.

Wishing your a lovely day, 😘😘

Cool Sunday casual look.
As you might guessed I love denim on denim, they are cool and needs less effort to look great But attention ⚠️, denim jacket is rigid or stiff and might make one look bulky.
So try rolling up the sleeves to show your skin, it gives an illusion of fluidity.
Use accessories (jewellery, belts, bags, scarf, etc) or even makeups to direct and place eyes where you want them.

Hope you all having a cool Sunday, do enjoy the rest of your day people
