A new thing to try for the new year would be to add some glitter to your daily outfit. You can start small with glitter eyeliner, eyeshadow, and nailpolish. Check out stores like Sephora, MAC, or even H&M.

Wardrobe-wise, don't be afraid to spruce things up. Wearing anything that sparkles would for sure attract some eyes and it will most likely show that you're confident with who you are and the outfits you wear. Again, it doesn't have to be a full blown glittery dress. Having just one glitter item is enough for a day outfit. For the night, I think it would be absolutely fine to go crazy...at least you'd be easy to spot :)

A lot of these glitter items can be found at a lot of stores (adding on from the previous list). To name some from the top of my head: h&m, forever 21, urban outfitters, etc etc. Referencing to the photograph of the pair of glitter flats: a blogger made it herself (I'll provide a link at the end for her instruction post)! So for the days when you want to save money, take on this neat arts and crafts project. I'm not totally sure how the blogger did it, but I would use an old pair of flats in case I went wrong somehow along the way. It'd be a lot of fun to make and doing it with a friend would really help to speed up the process.

So have a great year and don't forget to add a little glitter ;)

Holiday Glamour

Holiday Glamour by Diana_Dang featuring opaque tights

So today is Christmas and there are parties to go to. There are so many outfits to choose from! But how to wear it if the occasion is a little more formal than the usual family gathering? I like to keep it simple and beautiful for the holidays. I think wearing a red dress is absolutely sexy and elegant at the same time (if worn correctly, because it could be messed up). It screams for attention and if you add simple but gorgeous accessories, you will be the center of attention. Since the outfit altogether is very minimalistic, you can add a little pizazz through your clutch.

Trust me, this outfit is timeless and you can not go wrong with it. It is not only for the holidays. It works beautifully for cocktail parties as well. I even wore this kind of outfit for my work's Christmas party and it definitely drew eyes.

I kept the makeup on my eyes neutral (but made sure to have eyeliner in order to bring out the eyes) and had red lipstick on in order to finish the look. It was very classy.

So have fun as well as a Merry Christmas!

Korean Men's Fashion

I am one of the many girls that likes their guys dressing fresh. There is something so appealing about knowing that guys care about how they look and being properly groomed. Begone the days where guys just simply throw on whatever is lying around and clean. (Well, you still can but if you can style whatever you pick off the ground, go for it!)

I have a big preference to Korean fashion. I highly enjoy their entertainment (as overly done as they may be) and I particular love that high-end lifestyle they generally display. So when I see Torontonians guys dressing similarly, they catch my attention immediately.

Right now, there are quite a few trends for Korean men's fashion. Having a white dress shirt under a nice cardigan of any colour is simple and clean. One can accessorizes a little with a watch on the wrist or have a tie on, making it a more sophiscated look.

What I absolutely adore right now are the coats that are made for men right now. They are stylish and gives that overall mature appeal. They are perfect for the chillier season.

Korean men's fashion has that great look that could be spotted from anywhere! I look forward to new styles that they have to offer.

Guys: Add this item to your usual wardrobe

Guys, we know you tend to be lazy when it comes to picking out your clothes (unless you are really into the latest trends). So you tend to stick to the usual of t-shirt and jeans right? So if you want to add a little more, put on a scarf.

Now, scarves used to be a girl thing. However, as fashion has it for 2010, guys are now sporting them too. There many ways that one can wear it. Except if you are only doing t-shirt and jeans, try to go for something like this:

It's very simple and it definitely adds to the outfit. Try a plaid pattern or a dark colour that suits the shirt you are wearing. People will definitely notice. If you really want to go further, a funky hat and wrist accessories would do well too.

Emma Watson

One of my favourite celebs in terms of fashion would be Emma Watson. She always wears amazing outfits, with the right kind of hair style, shoes, etc. Even going through her teenage years, I found that she always dressed older than her age and didn't go into any kind of clothing mishaps like Miley Cyrus and the rest of the famous teens nowadays. Emma Watson has definitely acquired a very lovely style.
I was always a fan of Harry Potter but if you look at her in the first movie and then look at her now, there's quite a difference. Emma Watson is 20 years old now, but seriously, she doesn't look like she's out of her teen years. I'm pretty envious :).
She's definitely an actress with style. Lastly before I end off, here's a picture of the whole Harry Potter gang since I really adore the clothes that they're wearing. :)
