#style tips
1. Clean your closet
Throw away/give away/sell everything you haven’t used for 1 year and the same goes for everything you have in your wardrobe that you don’t feel comfortable in wearing but you don’t want to throw because of pity.
2. Know your style
It’s important to know your style, it creates less stress when getting dressed and it will save you money since you won’t go for each new trend and buy clothes that you’ll use just once. In other words, don’t jump on every trend you see, find your style and get inspired by trends.
3. Create a mood board
If you havent found ‘your style’ - create a mood board to get a more visual idea of what style/clothes you like. Find inspiration from magazines, blogs, tumblr, people on the streets. Analyze the moodboard, is there a red line? Which combinations, pieces etc reappears in the pics?
4. Build your dream wardrobe
Start to build up your dream wardrobe by buying the basic essential pieces for YOUR style. Therefore important to create the moodboard first. Make a list of items/clothes that you’d need for your perfect wardrobe. Do not buy anything that’s not mentioned on that list. Bring it with you when your going to sales or shopping, remember that it’s always better to try to find those little more expensive pieces on the sales. And another sales-tip, don’t buy just because you want to buy something. If you don’t need it there is no use in buying it!
5. Know your body shape
Know your body shape and what you look good in, you wont wear things that you don’t feel so confident in as often as those pieces that really fits you. Always try the clothes in the store, unless your buying another basic t-shirt in your favorite model.
6. Buy the basics
Invest a little extra in the basics, for example leather jacket, handbag in classic models that you know you will be able to wear for years, and when it comes to bags, sometimes for almost an eternity. It doesn’t necessarily have to be designer pieces, there are a lot of clothes of good quality. You can by a leather jacket that is not branded, but made out of same leather as a designer jacket, the only difference is that you’re not paying anything extra for the brand itself.
7. Consider your lifestyle
Try to combine your wardrobe with your lifestyle. Not everybody needs a little black dress.
8. Find a balance
When you create an outfit, the balance is important. If you like outfits that are a bit 'too much’ you can stop reading this ;) If you wear a short skirt, always cover up more on your upper body, and vice versa. Never wear high heels with a too short skirt, nobody likes to see your *** hanging out when you climb the stairs.
9. Accessorize wisley
Spend money on classic jewelry, such as a nice watch, minimalist gold or silver necklaces that goes with any outfit, leather belts both normal and braided. A statement necklace is a good way to make your outfits a bit more interesting for special occasions, however, I would never spend a fortune on a necklace like that, you won’t wear it that often anyway.
A thrifty haul & how to style
‘Tis the Season for fabulousness and sparkle. Whether you’re going to a family get together, an office Christmas party or cocktails with friends, there is no reason why you cannot be the most stylish person there. So, before you start rockin’ around the Christmas tree, make sure you look good doing it.
For a work party, one thing to keep in mind is that you will most likely have to see these people on Monday. You want them to remember your awesome frocks rather than your smooth dance moves. The easiest thing to do is take your every day business wear and spice it up. Add some sparkle with accessories like chandelier earrings , a cute clutch and some rockin’ heels. Take a dull office look and turn up the colour. Emerald, cobalt, red and purple are great colours for this holiday season!
A family get together is usually a lot more laid back but that doesn’t mean completely boring! Remind them who the fashionista is in the family. Start with comfort. After all, chances are you will be feasting on some delicious holiday treats. A pair of jeans paired with a blouse or a cute embellished cardigan or sweater would do just the trick. As for accessories, keep it simple with pearl or pave studs.
Lastly, the fun night out with friends and cocktails. This is where you can be as fabulous as you want to be! Kick it up a notch with some sequins, killer heels and ruby red lips (or whatever colour you want!). The more sparkle, the better, just keep it tasteful! Metallics and lace are great for a girls night out as well as some bright colours.
Now, the question is, where can one find some holiday frocks? Smart Set has some really great dresses for a reasonable price as does RW. If you like to stand out just a little more check out local fashion designer, Celine Brideau’s store, Cbrido. She just launched a holiday collection! Accessories are everywhere. Try checking out local craft sales for some one of a kind designs or hit up a local business!
All these holiday looks should be effortless and most of all, fun. They are a way to bring out your own personality with a little glam. If you like retro styles then go for the polka dotted A-line dress and pearl studs. If you don’t like dresses, go for the dress pants or jeans with an embellished top. Dressing up is something you should look forward to and feel great once you arrive to wherever you are going. And remember, when in doubt you can never go wrong with a classic little black dress.

STYLE TIP 33: Coke gets kinda boring after a while, so it’s only natural for kids to move on to sniffing mexican gangs, gay club-kid porn and old episodes of YO MTV Raps.

STYLE TIP 32: When you’ve got two kids, a mortgage and a partner who you’re bored of fucking, keeping up with trends and making sure your hair has ‘character’ becomes kind of redundant.

STYLE TIP 31’DONT PEAK TOO SOON’: The geeks and losers from school always blossom into social-rosebuds. You picked on ‘em and made them feel like shit, but now they look better than you, have jobs that pay well and have a quiet confidence that makes your empty life look like a fake Chanel bag full of used tampons and expired morning-after pills.

STYLE TIP 30: ‘Having a personality’ or 'being intelligent’ are boring things that only people with no sense of style worry about. Who wants to talk about the social-political reasons behind the London riots when your new shoes are more explosive than a terrorist’s rucksack?

STYLE TIP 29: White boys can get away with ‘meek and vulnerable’, it’s actually kind of endearing and won’t hinder your chances of getting laid.

STYLE TIP 29: Sometimes, being young, slutty and jus don’t give a fuck-y, transcends all the style blogs that harp on about seasonal trends and classic elegance. Watch out for the herpes, though - that’s never a good look.

STYLE TIP 28: ‘Creepy romanian sex-slave’ is a current look that can be dressed up or dressed down or tied up in your basement until you come home from work and feel like peeing on someone because you’ve had a shitty day on the farm.

Wearing a dead animal on your back is a great way to poke fun at mother nature. She took her precious time to create something magical (yes, animals are fucking magical) and now you’re teasing her by using it for fashion. Just remember that she handles the reincarnation guest-list with God, so your ass will probably come back as something shitty like a pencil or a snail or a Hooter girl’s cancer lump.

STYLE TIP 34: Fashion is all about finding the perfect balance between a) researching style trends and history, which will enable you to put together the perfect ensemble, and b) forgetting all of that rigid shit that doesn’t always makes sense IRL and doing whatever the fuck you like.
