Fashion Trends - Romantic Lilac

Is it Friday already? Oh Yes it is! So are you ready for a great night? And for a gorgeous weekend?

One of my favorite colors is lilac! Really trendy, great for a romantic appearance but also perfect for a more flashy one! This color became very popular in fashion the last years and not only for your everyday appearance but also for the weddings! 

Lilac mediates that the wearer is in a good mood and the colour attracts interest, in all accounts. You can do nothing wrong when wearing lilac clothes, the only thing that you should mind is that lilac is a very flashy colour, therefore it is important to combine low-keyed colors like black, grey or white or pastel tones.

I like it in every shade and in any combination. With smoky beige and beautiful lilac-purple  accessories...

1. Cotton Tank 2. Earrings 3.Bracelet 4.Bag

Or  for a more casual appearance with white shorts and ombre purple accessories (perfect even for the beach)....

1.Bracelet 2.Earrings 3.Bag

Or even with floral details and in combination with beautiful pastel colors like green mint.

No matter, on which lilac part of your outfit you decide, but keep in mind, that fashion experts said: “Lilac is the new red! A must-have” !!!

My best wishes for a memorable weekend! If you need more outfit's suggestions just visit Estella's blog!

A beautiful Lilac Wedding!!!!

Hello my friends!!!

Monday today and a new week starts. But yesterday we had an amazing time to my cousin’s wedding. Well actually not only a wedding but the happy couple also baptized their beloved young girl. I am not going to post pictures of them, as they do not wish it, but I would love to show where the wedding took place.

A beautiful land full of trees and beautiful colorful flowers, while the grass put more color to the image. The wedding’s and baptism’s colors were white/ivory and lilac (light purple) and I think that it was simple and beautiful. The couple just took advantage of the trees, so they hang satin ribbons and the pool and the grass and the beautiful cute corners of the place.

Gorgeous white lanterns, satin ribbons,  beautiful fabric just made the place so romantic!

The wedding performed in the small chapel, that was a little bit exalted.

The tables were decorated with aromatic white and lilac roses (my favorites) and lavender, which made the place to feel with amazing aromas

and the table with the wish book, very beautiful, romantic and with many candies and sweets for the really young guests

We had a perfect time, we laughed, we danced, we dreamed…. We wished every happiness to the lucky couple and our best wished to their young princess! I hope my beloved cousin to have a lifetime full of love, happiness, smiles, wishes, emotions!

Fashion Trends – Stripes

Stripes, the most classical and timeless trend and style in fashion for the past years.  Whether horizontal, vertical, diagonal, thin, thick, black and white or in beautiful colors, stripes make a graphic statement, day or night.  Every year of course the use of the stripes is different. For this Spring and Summer chose them in red and black for a nautical style or in white and black but with different accessories depending on the occasion.  You will see showing up in dresses, skirts, blouses, cropped pants, oversized high waist trousers, knit casual tops... and of course in handbags and  shoes!

Use your imagination and create a stripped appearance with beautiful accessories and you will always be in fashion! Unfortunately stripes can look disastrous if not worn in the right way. So who and how can wear stripes?

Tips

-  Horizontal stripes

Perfect for the slim woman that would like to look a bit heavier or more curvy, especially the bold stripes. Horizontal are perfect to add tension to your smallest parts of your body. For example a woman smaller on the bottom can  use a horizontal striped skirt with a monochrome shirt. if you’re heavier on the hips, wear stripes on tops.

- Vertical stripes

 The petite woman can elongate her figure with vertical stripes. If you are petite in height, but on the heavier keep the stripe vertical, and choose a smaller stripe, don't use bold stripes. If your petite and on the thin side a bolder stripe will make you look a bit bigger. 

 - Diagonal stripes
Perfect for all figure types, but are especially wonderful for the plus size women, as well as tall women with boyish figures. The thin figured woman that loves to look even thinner than thin, the diagonal stripe will make you look even thinner than you are. Use clothes with diagonal stripes and “transform” your thin parts to look more curvy. Because of their schema they create an illusion, think of the direction of the stripe as arrow to your best assets.  emphasize  the best!

And now that we have chosen the correct stripes for our figure, let’s see how can we combine them with accessories or colors.

For a day casual but still unobserved appearance use stripes on shirts with monocrhome pants or skirts or shorts and  chain accessories.

1. Necklace  2.Ring  3.Earrings  4.Purse

A beautiful 60’s fashion midi dress with horizontal bold stripes combined with pastel shoes and topcoat will be just adorable for your cocktail appearance, for a coffee or a short walk in the afternoon.  Put the finishing touch with minimal girly accessories in pastel colors , while a floral handbag will make your appearance more girly, romantic and unique!

And for the night… just use a stretched  dress in black and white and use accessories in deep colors like passion red or cobalt blue. You will be definitely the  focal point!
