spring summer trend: sports luxe

spring/summer trends

 

Hey guys so this spring/summer seems to be all about prints from louis vuitton to kenzo to dior....

 

.....However who really wants to spend hundreds or thousands on a dress or jacket when you can get one just as good for alot less.

 

One big tend this season is sports luxe, you can pick most sporty pieces from all the high street shops particualy places like topshop or river island for good prices or even cheaper from places like primark or boohoo.

 

This white skirt is from topshop and costs £25 compared to this sports luxe skirt by phillip lim that costs £415, although these pieces are very different you can see the obvious price difference for the same trend

 

This top is a hooded semi-sheer slouchy top from topshop and retails in at £32 whilst this price is very good I'm retty sure that you could find somthing very similar for a fraction of the price.

 

Another piece from this trend is bomber jackets , i even jumped on the band wagon with this and bought this jacket from vila clothing at oldrids for £45.

 

 

Thanks for reading :)

 

 

 

 

 

 



how to style a skater skirt x

                                                        winter wear
I think there are two main ways that people seem to wear skater skirts and they both work great:


The jumper
I think a simple jumper looks great with a skater skirt weather it is tucked in, out or abit of both like in this picture.






The shirt
I think the most commonly used type of shirt is denim closely followed by the plaid shirt. I think this looks great mainly because shirts tend to be seen at "manly" or are rather boxy shaped so by tucking it in to a skater skirt gives you more womanly curves straight away.

                         summer wear

For summer i think most people tend to go towards a simple vest top or crop tops, obviously crop top can be worn all year round either long sleeved ones or just add a blazer but personally i think a vest crop top gives more of a summery look. I think crop tops are great with skater skirts they tend to be the perfect length to either just show off a bit of flesh or  hit where the skirt starts if you don't want to show off much flesh. You can get crop tops from anywhere from primark to topshop to Louis Vuitton.

Hair extensions

                         To glue or not to glue...

There are many different types of hair extensions, some are semi-permenent and last for months where as others onl last a matter of hours.This will help you understanhd or decide (if you are considering getting extentions) what is best for you.

                                              temporary hair extensions

Tape hair extensions are temporary hair extensions that use double-sided tape to attach the extensions to a person's real hair. The tape comes in different types and strengths but is usually clear.These hair extentions are useful if you want a more descrete look however i'm not sure that removing these would be the easiest.





Clip-in hair extensions are perhaps the most popular type of hair extension, you can buy a large range of colours textures and you get to decide if you want full head extensions or a ponytail clip in for example.With clip-in extensions you can either purchase synthetic hair for as little as £2.99 or human hair which can be more expensive for between £24.99 to the thicker and better quality ones at £84.99 depending of lenth.




         semi-permenent hair extensions

cold fusion hair extensions are becoming more and more popular as it does not use any kind of heat so there fore does not damage your natural hair as much.It uses ‘cold’ ultrasonic pulses to bond ‘V’ shaped keratin tips around your hair.




Glue in hair extensions are also one of the most popular types of hair extension whilst also one of the most damaging, glue in extensions can cost anything from £100 to £1000.


Micro ring hair extentions are somthing i heard of a while ago and as far as i have seen seem to be a good alternative to glue in extensions.i would not recomend trying to put these in yourself so perhaps it would be a better idea to get them done professionaly however you can buy micro ring extensions yourself from £34.99 to £88.99.

which Foundation is for you?

Oily skin
One of the best foundations for oily skin is Lancome Teint Idole Silky Mat , it is full of minierals and therefore it is matte but not powdery so also conseals breakouts and imperfections.This foundation can be seen to some people as quite pricey at £27 so if you are looking for a cheaper alternitive you should try....

                  ..... Boots No 7 Beautifully Matte Foundation, It's great value (at £12.50), promises 12 hours shine-free protection  and the formula balances oil production to keep your skin looking great.

       Another afordable foundation is E.L.F. Flawless Finish Foundation, At just £6.75 this foundation is great for days when you  need abit more coverage.






Dry skin
              One of the best foundations for dry skin is Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Foundation This foundation comes in at £41.50 so again is slightly more expensive but as it is  a luxurious cream foundation  you only need a small amount. therefore it will last longer.




Again if you are looking for a cheaper alternative, L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Foundation is a great one,it costs £10.99 and this silky liquid foundation will help prevent patches, evening-out your skin tone.





Acne prone skin

If you have acne prone skin it is best to stick to mineral or powder foundations,one of which is lilly lolo's Mineral Foundation SPF 15.This comes in a variety of different colours from porcelain to hot chocolate.





Although i did previously recommend not using a liquid foundation if you do chose to use one you would want great coverage right? so i would recommend Anti-Blemish Solutions Liquid Makeup from clinique.this foundation is lightweight for oily or blemish-prone skin that needs smooth coverage and skin-clearing treatments within it.
