10 winter outfits from Pinterest you must copy now!

Winter is here and between utilising the old clothes to preparing the shopping list for new ones, we often forget to put the right outfit together. However, Pinterest is here to help us and we can’t be more thrilled. Here are 10 winter outfits on Pinterest that’ll help you up your fashion game in minutes. Take a look.

1) Pair your favourite pair of distressed denims with knee-high boots, a jumper and a scarf.

2) Match your ankle boots and bag to your oversized scarf and let the scarf do the trick. The best part of winter outfits is layering, so layer up. Use T-shirts, jackets, chunky jewels and layer ’em up real nice.

3) Whoever said white pants were for summer didn’t probably look at them like this. Team your summer whites with a neutral jumper and jewels and get ready to brighten up dull winter days.

4) Go black on the inside and white on the outside. Bring that big shrug out and wear it over an allover same colour outfit. Don’t forget the infinity scarf and did we mention prints?

5) Dress your dress up with a loose cardigan and leggings. Put on your lace-up boots and a long neck piece to complete the look.

6) If leggings are not your thing, opt for knee-high boots with a blanket scarf and curly hair.

7) Every winter wardrobe is incomplete without leather jackets and every year brings with it a new way to style them. Take inspiration from the picture below and get your leather game on.

8) You may also pair your winter jackets with dresses. Here’s how

9) And how can we forget trench coats?

10) If you don’t mind being a bit experimental and have the legs for this look, then sport your palazzos this fall with a poncho.

Here’s your guide to looking stylish effortlessly ALL THE TIME!

We all have those days when putting together an outfit turns into the toughest task. Not because we don’t have enough pieces (old and new) in our wardrobes, but because the brain just can’t figure the perfect ensemble that day. For all those days and others too, here’s the perfect guide to looking stylish effortlessly and all the time. Fashion blogger Carly Cristman and celebrity stylist Lindsay Albanese share their favourite tricks to looking fashionable and stylish by pairing things that are already kept in your wardrobe. Take a look.

#1) Get the right proportions

Both Carly Cristman and Lindsay Albanese suggest that even when you’re pairing a simple top with a pair of jeans, wearing them in the right proportion is the key to making it stand out and looking stylish. For instance if you’re wearing a boxy top, ensure that it is worn with something fitted.

#2) Lindsay’s Hip Tip

When wearing a simple outfit like a T-shirt paired with shorts, tuck the T-shirt into your shorts partially (called the Lindsay’s Hip Tip) to add an extra stylish detail. It defines your waistline and adds a personal touch to the outfit.

#3) Monochromatic

The ultimate guide to looking stylish even when you’re stressed is to go for monochrome. Pick one colour, black for example and go all black. The point here to keep in mind is pairing different hues of the same colour.

#4) Accessorize

Accessories always up the style factor and there’s no reason one should shy away from them. Add a chunky choker neck piece to a plain dress or a dainty pendant to an outfit to put together a finished look.

#5) Know your favourites

It is always best to know about your favourite pieces in your wardrobe for those days when you just can’t fix yourself on one outfit. Best advice is to keep staple garments like a pair of blue denims, a little black dress and the perfect white shirt handy at all times to avoid confusion.

Here’s why it’s important to wash your makeup brushes regularly!

Makeup brushes are an important investment for every woman and rightly so. Gone are the days when applying foundation meant blending it with your fingers until it matched your correct skin tone. Now there is a plethora of brushes available in the markets which do the exact same job in a much better and hygienic fashion. However, like any other priced possession (yes, they are expensive), owning makeup brushes comes with its own set of responsibilities. Here’s why?

Why is it important to clean makeup brushes?

We are not saying that you are dirty but makeup brushes have build-ups of product, bacteria, dead skin cells, oil and residue. It’s important that you clean them on a regular basis before using them on your skin to avoid breakouts and infections. Besides, you don’t want to transfer all the bacteria every time you dip your brush into your favourite pot of concealer.

How often should one clean makeup brushes?

If you use makeup brushes on a regular basis then we suggest cleaning them twice every week. If you use them less often then it’s suggested you clean them once every two weeks. Please note that the list of brushes to be cleaned includes your gel eyeliner and lip liner brushes too.
