Hi ladies! 

Today, I wanna talk about one basic item ... one really really basic item you all MUST have! 


It's a WHITE T-shirt!!!! 


You may or may not have a white T-shirt.... but trust me! 
The White T-shirt is so basic but goes really really well with your any kind of casual outing styles! 


So today I'm introducing really really basic ways of how to wear white T-shirt! 

Here's a white T-shirt from Dotti I'm using. 

By the way, Dotti have a wide range of color basic tops at pretty good price ($10 to $15 usually). So if you don't have a basic T-shirt, what you need to do now is to head to the shop!!! 








Okay, so let's start with jeans! 

JEANS

In summer, just wear a plain white T-shirt and either jeans or black pants with your favorite necklaces or scarf! 







They're my favorite necklaces by the way!



Even short pants are good in coming hot weather :) 







Maybe not with really bright color pants.... keep it simple... it's a tip ! 









I found T-shirt-in-style makes you look better.... 

What do you think? Which style do you prefer? 

SKIRTS 

I've never tried white T-shirt with my navy skirt from Dotti but now I love this style! 

OVERALLS

What is your eye shape?

Woo hoo and welcome to another fashion and style-related post !  As a student, sometimes we don't always have the budget to buy as many outfits as we would like. So instead, you've got to make the best of what you have already ! Today, I'm going to show 10 distinct approaches to style and jazz up any outfit.

Ready...? Let's get started !

Layering

Layering clothing items is a great way to add different elements of textures to your outfit as well as staying toasty on a cold and chilly day.



Add Statement Jewellery

Adding statement jewellery pieces are a neat way to accentuate your neckline or even distract from your decolletage, depending on your outfit choice. It's also a clever way to make a repeated outfit look completely new or different. Shush, don't tell.




Belt It Up

Using a belt in your outfit is a perfect way to tie together your whole outfit as well as giving yourself some shape by cinching in your waist.



Roll it up

Rolling up your jean or pant hemlines not only show off your pretty ankles but they also help draw more attention to the real show stoppers: the shoes !!




Cuff it

Cuffing the sleeves on your shirt give off a minimalist vibe, particularly if you choose to not wear jewellery. It also looks fabulous when your sleeves are cuffed to show off any wrist and hand jewellery.


Tie It in a Knot

Whether it be tying the bottom of your button up shirt in a cute knot or tying a flannel around your waist, it's a cheeky way to accentuate your waist or show off a little skin.



Button Up or Button Down

When choosing to wear a button up shirt, you can completely transform your outfit by simply selecting whether you wished to button up for a more demure, classic look or button down for a more casual, modern look.




Over The Top

A new trend kicking it in the street fashion world is wearing items that are not traditionally worn together, being worn over the top over each other. Shirt over dress, dress over pants and even skirt over the dress are just some of the ways fashionistas are choosing to wear clothing pieces.



Tuck It In

Front tuck, Half tuck, All tuck. So many ways to slightly alter your outfit to show off certain elements of your clothes or to celebrate a change of occasion.


Drape It

Drape it,  cape it. Just by draping your blazer, jacket or coat over your shoulders is the fastest and easiest way to make your outfit look 1000x more classy and elegant. Believe me, try it !

In the midst of a busy lifestyle, sometimes it can be difficult to find the time to make yourself look completely presentable. Styling your hair is one of the simple tricks which can transform any outfit to make yourself look flawless for everyday activities like work and uni or even for a fancy night out.

Today, I'm going to share with you, fellow ladies (or gents), five quick and easy hairstyles that require no heat and minimum hair accessories.



The Braided Updo

This look is really great for medium to long haired girls !

1. Using a comb, split your hair into two even sections.
2. Loosely braid both sections and secure with small invisible hair ties.
3. Grab the two plaits and tie them in a simple knot at the base of your neck (Note: if you have long hair, you may tie it more than twice to make the ends short and easy to tuck in.)
4. With the ends of your plaits, tuck them underneath your makeshift knotted bun.
5. Secure with bobby pins.

1. Brush out hair, and use a comb to separate into two sections, slightly off centre : one larger section with 3/4 of your hair and the other with a 1/4 of your hair.
2. Secure the larger section with a hair tie
3. Using your smaller section of your hair, begin tightly twisting your hair away from your face and angle it towards the other side of your head
4. After twisting, create a knot by weaving the large and small section together.
5. After knotting, use the left over small section to loosely wrap around the combined pony and secure with a bobby pin.

1. Gather all your hair and tie it in a high pony tail with an elastic
2. Select a few strands of her from the bottom of the pony tail, enough to wrap around to cover the elastic band
3. Using the hair strands, wrap the hair over the elastic in an anticlockwise motion until your elastic is covered.
4. Tuck the ends of your hair into the hair tie.

1. Separate your hair into 3 sections: one large section in the middle and two smaller sections on either side of your head.
2. With the two sections at both ends of your head: Twist the hair in the direction towards your head until they reach the back of your head.
3. Secure into a ponytail with a hair ties
4. Use the hair from the large middle section of your head and begin tucking the hair over the hair tie so it creates a hair roll.
5. Secure with bobby pins.

Hello everyone!



I really hope you guys are enjoying our blog so far :) I've written 5 posts so far. I've been enjoying myself writing a blog about fashion and beauty!

Okay, today I would like to write about BB creams and CC creams. I would like to introduce you all here what's good/bad about BB creams and CC creams and what types of skin are suitable for each cream!


First of all.... BB and CC creams? What are they?
Whether you're using either of the products or not... do you know what BB and CC stand for though? 



BB Cream : Blemish/Beauty Balm Cream



CC Cream : Color Collecting/Complexion Cream

(They're two different definitions!)

I know what you wanna ask....


BB and CC??

Confusing, confusing, confusing...

How are they different!?



BB Creams are basically makeups that actually make your skin better :) BB creams can provide the least amount of coverage similar to a sheer foundation along with some extra perks, like sun protection, skin lightening, and anti-aging ingredients—a type of all-in-one product for daytime! They're lighter than foundation but heavier than tinted moisturizers.


It is suitable for..... younger women whose skin needs light coverage! It covers skin imperfections such as scars and blemishes.



Any recommendations for BB Creams?

CC Creams corrects color-related skin issues like redness or sallowness (usually with light-diffusing particles). CC cream is a color corrector and lighter than BB cream. CC cream can make your skin natural and easy to take make-ups off!



It is suitable if your skin is... acne-prone, dull and oily and have dark sports and constant redness



Any recommendations for CC Creams?

Still confused ?

Hello friends !!

Today, I'm going to share with one of my own favourite do-it-yourself facial mask/scrub. It can simply be used as an exfoliant or a face mask or even both ! It's made purely with all natural and organic ingredients and contains no little hidden nasty chemicals. This mask/scrub is great for all skin types and will leave your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated. It is also a great alternative to the expensive skincare treatments; you can do this in the comfort of your own home. Sounds good ? Let's get started !


The Avocado and Green Tea scrub/mask

Image Source:Wiki About

• Avocado contains high amounts of Vitamin B12 and fatty acids which is great in helping replenish and moisturise your skin.
• Green tea is calming as it has antioxidant properties which helps fight the free radicals in our skin, reduce redness, contains detoxifying qualities to flush out the toxins.
• Lemon contains AHAs and BHAs which helped clear up acne and removes dead skin cells.
• Turmeric Powder is a fantastic exfoliating agent to help reduce wrinkles and has anti-bacterial properties to help soothe inflammation 

What You Will Need:

• half an avocado 
• a organic green tea tea bag
• half a lemon
• half a table spoon of turmeric powder
• clean makeup brush or hands to apply
• a small mixing bowl

How To Make it:

1. Cut up an avocado and scoop half of it into a bowl.
2. Freshly brew a hot cup of green tea and wait for it to steep for a few minutes.
3. Strain the tea bag and empty the tea leaves into the bowl.
4. Add the juice of half a fresh lemon.
5. Pour a teaspoon of turmeric powder into the mixture.
6. Mix and mash all the ingredients well in the bowl.
7. Apply a thin and even layer on clean, dry skin.
8. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes.
9. After 10-15 minutes, use circular motions to gently scrub the mask off your skin, this helps exfoliate your skin too.
10. Rinse off with warm water and pat skin dry with a clean towel.

Scoop out the avocado

Cut open the tea bag

Empty tea leaves into the bowl

Squeeze that lemon juice on there

Add some turmeric powder

Mix and mash all the ingredients together

Looks terrible but it's full of all that goodness

The mask is on !!

I would recommend steaming your face first (pour hot water in a bowl and place your face over it, drapping a towel over your head to allow the steam onto your face) to open up your pores and let the scrub work its magic.

And Voilà, you're done! My skin felt really soft and supple after letting the mask sit and scrubbing it off !

Hope you enjoyed this DIY mask and scrub !
