How To Wear: Gloves

Thank you to Laura who sent me her request. She's been having trouble thinking of new ways to wear gloves, her trademark accessory. Laura, this is for you...


This fall, there is only one rule for wearing gloves: stick to soft leather and suede. You can find leather and suede gloves in almost every accessory department so they shouldn't be too hard to find.


Colors: Vogue reveals that all colors are acceptable this season. Metallics, two-tone styles, subtle and bold shades are all in.


Styles: Elbow-length has recently become a popular style but if you prefer the short length, scrunch down long sleeves for a trendy-casual look.


Looks for less: Ever seen something that you really wanted but couldn't afford? Never fear! There are always alternatives. Check out these stylish Phi long quilted gloves, originally £374.50. Then look at the price of the alternative.




See the difference?


Tara's Tip: Remember that the main purpose of gloves is to keep you warm, not to look good. Okay, looking stylish is a definite plus but what's the point of having gloves if your hands are still cold? It's like using toothpaste and still having dirty teeth.


I hope you find this helpful. I would've made it longer but I'm in a rush. Keep the requests coming. Stay fabulous...

Fragrance Fuss: Harajuku Lovers

In my last blog I asked if anyone had any requests and I received a particularly challenging one from Jasmine. She's looking for a perfume that individualizes her and I think I might have found the perfect solution.


Your perfume says a lot about you. It reflects on your personality and decides whether you're sweet, outrageous or like it simple. And in my opinion, there is no better definition of "personality perfume" than the Harajuku Lovers range.





Not only do they smell amazing, but these scents come in adorable keepsake bottles that make them stand out. Designed by pop princess Gwen Stefani, each scent is different and unique and I can guarantee that Jasmine will find one that suits her!

                                        
Your look is so distinctive like DNA, like nothing I've ever seen in the USA a ping-pong match between eastern and western did you see your inspiration in my latest collection?
Never one to get lost in the crowd, G leads her crew in a white corseted top and blue miniskirt a la Alice in Wonderland. Quirky, unique, and undeniably cool, G steps to the front of the bunch in sky high black pumps and racy fishnets, making this a style all her own.
CoutureCutie's Comments: With top notes of fresh coconut, apple skin and crisp mandarin, this is a definite must-have. You will feel like you're lounging on a sunny Bahamian beach when you wear G. You can buy it here.

                                        
                                   
MUSIC (MU-SIC) N. 1. The art of organizing sound. Vocal sounds having some degree of rhythm, melody, and harmony. 2. A musical composition or body of such compositions. 3. The soundtrack of my life, feel it, shut up and listen, keep on dancing. (see also) life.
Always looking to make someone laugh, charismatic Music has no qualms telling it like it is! Stylin in a smocked sailor outfit and black lace up boxing boots, Music grooves to the soundtrack of her life.
CoutureCutie's Comments: This delicate fragrance is my favourite perfume ever. With top notes of clementine and sparkling pear, it's a juicy scent that will guarantee to please your nose. Click here to buy it.


                                                


LIL ANGEL (an jel) n. 1. One of the celestial beings attendant upon God. 2. A kind and lovable person. 3. The love who watches over me. 4. Slang. Someone who doesn t get caught. 5. Cute little booger nose on my shoulder 6. Wings that flutter.
Lil Angel is constantly looking out for others because she knows there are two sides to every story. In keeping with her angelic nature, Lil Angel sports a classy yet sexy schoolgirl outfit complete with plaid pleated miniskirt, white knee-highs, and shiny black Mary Janes. Even an innocent schoolgirl has a rebellious side, and Lil Angel expresses hers with a funky orange bandana to top off her ensemble.
CoutureCutie's Comments: There's no better word to describe this scent than bold. Raspberry, cranberry, blackberry and pineapple make this one deliciously different scent that is both refreshing and revitalizing to the skin. Guaranteed to steal the attention of whoever catches a whiff!  Click here to order it.
                                               
BABY (ba-be) n., pl. ~bies 1. A very young child. 2. The youngest member of a family or crew. 3. My main squeeze, my honey, my plaything. 4. What boys say. 5. Hot sexy thing that makes me go crazy.
Enticing in her frilly innocence, one bat of her lashes and Baby has all the boys in the palm of her hand! Pretty in pink, Baby steps out in a short baby doll dress and sweet Mary Janes. She may be the youngest of the bunch, but Baby s humorous nature keeps the others on their toes!
CoutureCutie's Comments: This is the perfect scent for girls seeking a light, powdery musk. The freesia, bergamot and white rose top notes are fresh and pure. Click here to buy it.


                                         
LOVE (luv) n. 1 A. An intense affectionate concern for another person. B. A passionate attraction. 2. A beloved person. 3. A strong liking or enthusiasm for something. 4. A zero score in tennis. 5. To feel love for. - In love. - Enamored. - v. Loved, loving.
Sweet, caring, and free spirited, Love is always off in her own little world. Stepping out in a cute, striped minidress and fashionable red kicks, Love wears her heart on her sleeve or, rather, in her hair!
CoutureCutie's Comments: Last but not least, here's Love. This tender feminine scent is comprised of pink pamelo, sparkling bergamot and bamboo. Love casts a romantic presence and adds a burst of feminism to your outfit. You can buy Love here.


There you have it! I hope you found this useful, Jasmine, and that you find the perfect perfume soon! Stay fabulous...
