Dear Diary

Hey everyone, Not much has been happening on the spiritual front so I'm going to update my fashion side of things.

I can't believe Ray Ban style sunglasses are being replaced by those circle sunglasses! They look crap on everyone!
Another disappointment is the bright pink lipstick thats coming into fashion, ugh! are you kidding me? who can pull off bright pink lipstick and still look classy and not a wannabe Barbie gone wrong?

What I am happy about is the new idea of decorative necklaces being used for belts (super skinny people only unfortuantely) and fun, bright scarves. Big rings are still in trend which is good because they look great as an accessory.
Leather is in again, I don't recommend anyone over 40kgs attempt this due to the fact its very unflattering.
If you want to keep wearing dresses through the Winter months then don't stress because tights are still the go but they're suggesting to wear a hoodie if you want to give it an edge.
Not a hoodie fan? then go for a leather jacket or a preppy school blazer as the Gossip Girl look is the rage.
Berets are in which I'm super happy about and also the 'loose beanie' which i think looks good on anyone with any type of hair cut.

Brights are out and pale colours are in so go for pale pinks, whites, light greys and creams this season as your staples to keep you warm. Knits are also still on the go so don't be afraid to don a cardigan when going out. Ugg boots are a no no though, If you want to look bogan then wear commando boots as they are the rage for the grunge scene again.
Ballet flats are the go and long white socks are good for cold feet.


Make up is all about looking soft and supple. Go for a pink lip and cheeks but keep it pale and natural looking. keep base neutral and avoid the bronzer, it's not Summer so you don't need a tan so it'll look fake.
If you want your look to be natural go for a basic eye with liner and mascara or if you want to zest it up a bit go for gold, bronze or nude shimmer eye shadow.

Hair is all about natural but amazing so blow wave it into submission but keep a wave in it instead of making it dead straight (think Taylor Swift). pony tails are all the rage too so if your hair isn't behaving just whip it up into a sleek pony tail with a bit of hair gel to give it a super smooth look.

Grey is the new black for nail colour this season but please avoid the sparkles and keep it basic for a classy look.

And remember! if in doubt leave it out! no matter how fashion forward the item might be.
