I NEED A LOVE STORY!


Someone once asked me "what inspires me?" I remember I told the person LOVE. Lying on my bed on a warm sunday evening, I thought to myself; “why haven’t I written anything recently?” Don’t get it twisted, I’m not a writer. In fact, I’m far from one but I am a story teller. Don’t ask me to explain the difference because I’m not quite sure. But, I know the answer, it’s because I’m not in love. I don’t feel pain either. I’m just bleh at the moment. It’s awful; I know to give someone or something so much power over you. Urrghh! I hate that but I don’t see the point in writing if I’m not in love. When I mean in love, it doesn’t mean I’m in a relationship, it just means I need to be passionate about something and right now, I’m definitely not. I need to fall in love with something, someone....anything, LOL. 

I can’t help it...Love makes me feel Alive! <3

PS. there was absolutely no need for a picture, but I just felt like putting one up. SUE ME! :P

Hervé Léger can handle your C.U.R.V.E.S


If you’ve never heard of Herve Leger designs, you must have heard of the bandage dress or skirt and body-con dresses and skirts, (body-conscious). Although Max Azria, is known for most of the designs, the real man behind this clothing that oozes ex appeal is Hervé L. Leroux. But, honestly, who cares what their names are and who founded it. The focus is on the clothes and what they do for a woman’s body. We are talking skin-tight!! The dresses and skirts are designed for one purpose and one purpose alone- TO FLAUNT YOUR CURVES!  Forget those potato sacks called clothes and dare to flaunt what your mama gave you or your money bought you ;)
Without further story, check out the pictures that has got me blogging.

S.U.M.M.E.R L.O.V.E.L.E.T.T.E.R.S : TURN YOUR MAX ON!


I could have sworn that I’ll never do this but it’s summer and there’s nothing like summer without the maxis. We’ve all been so used to the maxi dress, but I am proud to say maxis have totally evolved. We have the maxi dresses (of course), the maxi trousers, the maxi skirts and some say the maxi blazers. Errmmm. I haven’t quite figured that one out yet.  I think I am loving this trend more than ever because of the diversity in it. The colours, prints, style, and cut you can find maxis in are limitless. It’s like a ray of colours in maxi world. 
THE MAXI TROUSERS
This is a look I am particularly fascinated about.  I would have never pictured myself in this look, but the way some women (and interestingly some men) have rocked it has made me think twice! It comes in a several prints and could be worn to fit any purpose.



                                                           Try a corportate look
You could also try a fun summer look by a wearing strapless top.
THE MAXI SKIRT
I absolutely love this look because you can do so much with it. It could be paired with a corset, bustier, tee, corporate shirt, whatever you can think of, this piece of clothing can do. What i love the most about it is the fact that you can lift up the hemline to your waist and turn it into a mini by adding a slim belt to it, or in some cases, pull it up to turn it into a strapless dress.

With a simple v-neck and minimal accessories, the maxi could turn into a red-carpet material like Mary-Kate Olsen here/

 With a bustier and a leather jacket, you could acheive a rock and roll look like Shirley here, a famous blogger. Check out her blog at: http://meek-n-mild.com
Maxi skirts are a great way to show a tiny waist and add volume to your body which isn't always a bad thing

 Try a maxi skirt with a high slit for a more sultry and sexy look

One of my favourite looks, is trying colour blocking with you maxi skirt.


Try a fun monochrome look with a crop top.
THE MAXI DRESS (a.k.a the original maxi) 
I call it the original maxi because it paved the way for all other maxis. Well, i like to think so. Just like the maxi skirt, there is really no limit to what the dress can do. Although, I would strongly recommend not wearing a corporate shirt on it, under it or around it. 






My favourite look with a maxi skirt is blazer. It just looks hot



With a little lifting, tucking and belting, the maxi dress can become a mini dress or a skirt

If you don’t have a maxi outfit, you should go get one. In my humble stylish opinion, ASOS has the best maxi dresses and skirts and for the trousers, RIVER ISLAND has quite a few stylish pieces. Remember, nothing says summer like a good maxi! Have a good week everyone. xo
