Colour-Blocking Fun ...

So just to make this blog a bit more fashionable..
One of my favourite summer trends is .. COLOUR-BLOCKING.
Pretty obvious by the title... anyway the colour-blocking trend began about a year ago and it literally means an outfit made up of 'blocks' of solid colour.

Okay so here are my Do's and Dont's:

Do's:
-Use colours from the same'family'eg. Primary colours -Blue and yellow are perfect(Royal Blue and Mellow Yellow)
-Go for neutral, metallic or black accessories to keep the look simple and let the colours pop.

Dont's:
-Avoid colours with different shades,use colours with the same level of intensity
-Don't add florals, prints, stripes or patterns of any kind when colour blocking an outfit - it's very circus clownish 

For a more summery way of colour blocking you can use orange with blue, pink and yellow. For a more classy look go with green and black.

A great way to colour block is by using your accessories.

Remember fashion is for expressing yourself and your style so just have fun with it!

Here is my outfit suggestion and wear to get it:

.. Beauty Quotes ..

I wanted to share some of my fav beauty quotes with you, but will you like them the way I do?? Hummm ...


"One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space. Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be seen many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they never will." ~Rachel Carson


"Beauty... is the shadow of God on the universe." ~Gabriela Mistral, Desolacíon


"Beauty... when you look into a woman's eyes and see what is in her heart." ~Nate Dircks


"You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul's own doing." ~Marie Stopes


"Our hearts are drunk with a beauty our eyes could never see." ~George W. Russell


"I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful." ~Author Unknown


In my opinion everyone is beautiful in their own special way.. You are beautiful!!

...LOVE ...

. . . Love . . .

Is it just a four letter word to you?? Sometimes I wonder if you really know what it means or if you can feel it.

Have you ever been loved? 'Cos I loved you once .. a long time ago, but you changed and so did my feelings towards you. Do you notice the difference now that I don't?


Love, is it just a four letter word to you??

"If music be the food of love, play on" - William Shakespeare

Music tells a story. The lyrics of a song are words that can't be spoken but can only be sung. The notes and chords represent the emotions felt by the artists also representing words not yet made to describe such feelings and emotions.


Music also is a great escape. Like a great musical ledgend once said "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain" - Bob Marley.


"All music is beautiful" - Billy Strayhorn. I agree completely. The simple fact that a person can escape from the horrors of this world for the duration of a song and have a moment to themselves is great.


I leave you with one last quote "It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment  and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony" - Benjamin Britten.
