DIY SPIKED HEELS

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:24:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

Spike Heels are HAWT right now, and let's agree we all want a pair, but without the price tag, right!! You can make awesome Spikey Pumps, for less than a fraction of what branded heels cost and you can use what ever shoe and spikes you want(via apairandasparediy)

What You'll Need:

- 6 cone spikes

- A pair of leather/ suede heels

- Dart Awl hole making tool Or drill machine

- A screwdriver

How To Put The Spikes:

1. Arrange all items and get ready for the exciting job. Start with a pump-style shoe with a 4" heel or higher.

2. Target the upper portion of the shoe. Spikes should be placed only in the shoe’s upper; you don’t want to drill into the actual heel.

3. Look at the seam at the back of your heels and mark with pencil where you want the spikes to sit. You want the spikes to sit apart so that there isn’t too much strain on the seam.

4. Using your hole making tool, push through the seam and wiggle to create a hole.

5. Push the screw through the hole, using a screwdriver to twist if it is difficult to get through. Go slow and watch your fingers!

6. Attach your spikes to the screw by twisting.

7. Use the screwdriver to tightly screw the studs on. Make sure the screws are flush with the leather so your the back of your heel doesn't irritate you.

8. Voila, all done! Simple right?

These dangerous looking heels will look great paired with a more ladylike outfit like a lace skirt. Slip these babies on and wait for the compliments to roll in.

LIGHTEN YOUR SKIN TONE : HONEY LEMON MASK

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:20:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

This all natural honey lemon mask is great for all skin types including sensitive skin. Lighten your skin with this simple yet effective home remedy. (Source : Nikisha)

Benefits of the Honey Lemon Mask:

- Clears acne
- Gentle cleansing agent
- Dries out pimple
- Minimizes pore size
- Smooths skin
- Reduces redness and instantly soothes irritation
- Makes skin glow
- Relieves dryness and even flaking
- Honey is a humectant so it hydrates skin
- Brightens skin
- Evens out skin tone (due to sun damage or blemishes) and helps scarring
- The bacteria cannot live in an environment covered in honey; due to honeys antiseptic qualities

Ingredients:

- 1/2 of a real lemon or a few drops of lemon oil (it has the same effect)
- 1 teaspoons of honey (Manuka honey has higher antibacterial properties, but regular honey is fine too).

Directions:

Squeeze 1/2 of the lemon into a bowl(about 2tsp), mix in honey and stir until its like cough syrup. Apply mask to freshly cleansed face. Make sure you don’t exfoliate your skin before adding this mask because the lemon juice can make it sting. Let the mask sit for about 20 minutes, and try not to talk. Rinse off with cold water (helps close pores) and pat dry your face. You can do this every morning or every night. Apply a good moisturizer afterwards. Give it some time to see results.

DIY Floral Sunglasses

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 12:47:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

One of the biggest trend this summer? Florals! So we thought how about rose trimmed glasses? Inspired by the widespread floral trend and our love of Dolce & Gabbana's Baroque-inspired fall collection, we’re DIY'ing a pair of outrageously fabulous sunglasses (via HonestlyWTF) using the little ceramic roses. Even if you hate anything floral, you'll find it quite hard to resist a pair of these cool floral shades. With these shades you won’t go unnoticed in this summer!

Our Inspiration :

Bet you thought these cute little flowers on these adorable glasses were real.

What You’ll Need:

A pair of sunglasses
Ceramic roses and flowers
Disposable container or ice cream stick and toothpicks
Cotton buds
Good quality and quick drying glue

Make sure your sunnies are clean – this is what the cotton bud's for. Play around with sections and placements to decide how you want your design to be. Squeeze a small amount of glue into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. Using the tip of a toothpick, apply a dollop of glue onto the back of the largest ceramic flower.

Press the flower firmly onto the outer corner of the sunglasses. Hold it in place, for at least a minute, until the glue sets. Working along the top of the glasses, continue to add smaller flowers.

Add a few small flowers down the right side of the glasses. After most of the flowers have set, unfold the sunglasses and add a couple of larger flowers on the temples or arms.

Repeat on the other side and let it sit for an hour or so to dry.

Jeepers peepers! Your floral shades are ready to wear! Enjoy the look and the compliments...

Via Mazzini Fashion Horoscope : Style Zodiac Leo

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:33:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

Jul 23 - Aug 22

Did you ever wonder why young children strongly like a certain outfit and dislike another one? Did it ever cross your mind, if your zodiac sign helps dictate your personal style? Chances are probably not..Eh! But the fact is your sign draws you to certain looks. We at Via Mazzini are trying to discover in this blog the link between fashion and the stars.

"Success is most often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable." -- Coco Chanel (Leo)

Its being said that you can tell a lot about someone just by looking at the person's shoes. We've all heard this saying... Yes! Same goes for your F-sense (read Fashion Sense). Style can change over time or become more developed, but the underlying style sense one possess is based on their sign and the stars. This time of the year is for Leos (The Lion) and the key phrase goes I am LEO, hear me roar!

Zodiac Symbol:

The majestic lion, the King of the Beasts is Leo's symbol

Planet:

The Sun

Compatibility:

Aries, Sagittarius

Colors:

Gold, Orange, Yellow, Red, and Black

Discover the optimum sun-sign self:

Leo is one of the most loyal and big-hearted signs of the zodiac. Leos, like lions, are thought to be strong leaders. They are independent and oozing confidence. They enjoy being seen as a person of substance and status, and prefer to be in a position to help others. They help those who are feeling down and are wonderful at motivating others. Routine and boring stuff makes a Leo frustrated. Leo's live in the fast lane, working and playing very hard but they have a tendency to lose patience and become irritable when under pressure or over-tired. Leo make great friends and are very difficult not to like.

Traits:

Leo woman is the embodiment of honor, loyalty, faithfulness, and trust. You can easily pick out a Leo woman from a crowd - she's the one with the loudest laugh, the brightest smile, and the most confident strut of them all. She is passionate, playful, and very lively but can occasionally be hot-tempered. She wouldn't be dominated; rather she has to be restrained.

The Look : Vive la femme

Leo loves to shop! The fashion style of Leo, mirrors their personality. Leo like to be noticed! They enjoy wearing leather, faux fur, silk, sequins and any other items that draws attention. Designer labels are extremely important to a Leo and they have very sophisticated taste. Gold and diamond jewelry is the only way to go for a Leo - the best jewelry money can buy. They dress in a style that expresses their mood of the day and emotions. One style that Leos can pull off most of the time is the look of animal prints in the way of pants, tunics, tops, and skirts. Leo looks good in colored tops to go with whatever the bottoms. They are always put together and have a strong sense of understanding what looks good on their body. Leo women can pull off distressed jeans at any age and look smashing so long as their tops are classy or dressy enough to pull off the torn up look of the denim. Her hair is her mane, and she is proud of it. If you are a Leo, you can wear a silk or satin shirt, with an embellishment of sequins around the collar to add just enough sparkle for daytime and show the wild side. You can try leopard print shoes to add a flare to your personality. Find colors that work with your eyes and hair color, and your skin tone. For Leo, the bolder and trendier the better.

Accessories:

To complete an outfit, Leo likes to pay close attention to accessories. They love attention, so they prefer bold and more flashy pieces. Leos have a great eye for fashion. They enjoy to set trends and have people emulate their style. Style is important, and so are the finer things in life.

Their best accessory is their eye candy that is on their arm(handbag) embellished with sequins and stones.
They find the trends in shoes and buy several pairs of them at once. They feel the higher their heels the better.
Statement necklace made of shimmering stones.
Try hats, studded or sequined bags, and oversize shades

Important advise for Leos - When others aren't complementing you on your style, you may feel insecure or out of sync. Trust in your inner guidance when choosing your style and don't read into the lack of complements. You are always rocking your style.

Fashionable Leos:

Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock, Mila Kunis, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry

Whether you are aware of it or not, you probably are already attracted and influenced by certain fashions based on your sun sign. Becoming familiar with your sign's connection to your inner style, will help you become the best stylish you possible. So, continue with your passion for fashion and style and thank your sign for its keen sense of what you look best wearing! And dont forget to check out our latest crop fo fashion HERE

DIY Friendship Bracelet

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:33:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

Friendship Day (celebrated every first Sunday of August) is just around the corner. A day dedicated to celebrating friendship; the day everyone reaches out to their friends with smiles and joy and thank them for their love and support. Our lives are always so hectic, with little time to spare, but it's a wonderful feeling just to let others know that you're out there, and that you care..

The most important person in your life (your BFFer, of course) is always hard to buy for and nothing says ‘you’re my best friend in the world’ more than a little nostalgia and a friendship bracelet. There's just something beautiful about friendship bracelets. We don't really know if friendship bracelets have ever gone out of style, but it certainly appears that they are becoming more popular now than they were in yester years.. Yep, the same type that you and your girlfriends used to make and trade when you were tweens—except that you probably won't want to trade these ones.

So, just in time for the friendship day we bring to you a small tutorial on how you can make your own friendship bracelet for your bestie.

What You’ll Need:

Waxed cotton cord or embroidery thread(in any colour of your choice), connector charm(as available), scissors, tape, ruler, and glue.

How To Do The Bracelet:

Cut the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Fold the 20 inch piece in half, pull the loop through the connecter charm, fold it over, and pull the rest of the cord through the loop. Repeat the step on the other side of the charm. These strands will remain anchored.
Tape it to something sturdy so the bracelet is secure while you make the knots. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Fold the right cord over the middle strands and under the left cord.
Pull the left cord under the right and middle strands and through the loop on the right side. Pull the strands tight and push the knot up to the top. To finish the other side of the knot, fold the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull the right cord under the left and middle strands and through the loop on the left side. Continue going back and forth until you get to the desired length (keep in mind that the clasp will take up approximately half an inch) and then move on to the other side. See video below.
To finish the knots, thread both cords up 3–4 knots along the backside. Pliers or a needle may help with this.
Cut the ends and dab them with super glue so that they are even more secure. Do this process to both sides.
To create a sliding closure, shape the bracelet into a circle and overlap the ends. Using scrap cord, temporarily tie at the ends. Take the 10 inch cord and center it under the strands. You’re going to start the knot exactly the same way you did before.
Create 4–5 knots and finish the ends the same way you did before. Undo the temporary ties. The two sets of middle cords become the adjustable ties of the bracelet. Adjust it to fit your wrist and trim the ends.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Handbags

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Sat, 13 Jul 2013 08:25:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

What is that one thing women can’t do without no matter wherever they go? Yes, you guessed it right! Handbag it is.

Growing up, we do believe that we’ve all come to hold a special place in our hearts for the beloved accessory that defines who we are, just as much as the shirts on our backs and the shoes on our feet. The difference? Most women carry one bag day in and day out. Many of us have more than 40 tops, 20 pair of footwears and countless accessories in our closet, which seems to be always over crowded with stuff. But most of us have less number of handbags sitting in our wardrobe, sometimes near to the mirror or shelves next to our shoes. All in all, we women are the same… we love our handbags as they are the accessory that we always have on hand and yet rarely change out like we do with the rest of our wardrobes. When you find a good bag, you simply keep it for years.

When it comes to putting together an outfit that’s going to make you look your best, it is important to add accessories to it. The dress you wear says loads about who you are and what kind of woman you want to be seen as, but did you know that accessories particularly handbags can go even further toward helping you create a positive image of yourself at all occasions or events. So, make sure to select a Bag that adds oomph to your look if you truly want to have the best look in the room, day in or day out.

They can be office-chic, evening out or college style bag. These multi purpose bags are amazing to make life more easy and also a wonderful complement to ones outfit. These bags are perfect for traveling, running errands, grocery shopping etc.

Messenger Bag

Messenger bags are inspired by bags worn by urban messengers who used to deliver business mails. Messenger bags have a long strap that can be worn across the body on one shoulder and rests on the lower back. These bags ensure comfort to people as the hands are free to do any work without worrying about the bag falling down the shoulder. They are also known as Cross-body bags. These bags are very popular among school and college students.

Satchels

Satchels are usually structured bags with a wide, flat bottom and double handles. They sometimes have a long strap with which the bag can be worn diagonally across the body. They have a defined structure and often can stand up on their own when set down. They usually have a short handle and are not necessarily worn over the shoulder but held by the hand. Satchels are perfect for woman who leans toward a classic or tailored aesthetic.

Hobos

A hobo bag is a medium-size crescent-shaped unstructured bag with a top zipper and often a slouch or dip in the centre and a long shoulder strap(single or double). Women usually wear hobo bags on their shoulder, as opposed to holding by the strap. Most hobo bags provide women with enough room to carry all their essentials. The hobo style looks best on women with a casual, breezy, or earthy manner of dressing. Hobo bags are not appropriate for a black-tie event or for formal offices.

Clutches

When it comes to evening bag styles best idea is to go with the strapless clutch. These bags offer the perfect amount of space for all your essentials like makeup, cell phone, keys etc. With a classy clutch you’ll be sure to achieve a sophisticated look of demure simplicity.

DIY Glitter Heels

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 08:17:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

Let's confess we all love sparkly stone studded high-heels! Don't we? The fact is, a girl can never have too much sparkle in her wardrobe. We have recently seen models wearing heels and sandals dazzled up with crystals/rhinestones on catwalks and every time we see them, honestly the heart pounds faster. Other than Robert Downey Jr./Robert Pattinson/Bradley Cooper, nothing makes women go crazy with lust quite like a pair of Miu Miu sandals. We are so in love with them and lets admit one can always rely on them for glamorous heels! Taking cue from their heels these jeweled pumps were worked out(via HonestlyWTF).

Our Inspiration :

Images via Pinterest

What You’ll Need:

A pair of your favorite heeled shoes
Assorted sized (big and small) and multi-shaped loose flat back rhinestones (depending on how large your heel is)
E-6000 glue
Tweezers
Small dish to take out glue
A toothpick
Flat nose plier

How To Do The Heels:

Grab your E-6000 glue and squeeze it into a small bowl. Put the bigger rhinestones first and using your tweezers dip the backside of the rhinestone into the glue. Place the larger rhinestones on the top part of the heel. Add several other large stones in different shapes around the top, gradually working your way down to the middle of the heel with smaller stones.

Use the small rhinestones to place in between gaps to help fill out your heels. Don’t use a lot of glue since these stones are smaller. Use a toothpick instead to apply the glue on smaller stones. Once your heels are covered to dazzle, repeat the same steps on the other one.

Now you have those glamorous dazzled pumps that you have always yearned for. So go on nourish your soul and fall in love with your new stylish shoes!

Reverse French Manicure

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 05:22:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

It was said that there's nothing that says 'CHIC' more than a clean, crisp, classic French Manicure...Well that was actually true until the Reverse French Manicure came along! This uber glamorous nail trend has been seen all over, from red carpets to runways, and surprisingly it's pretty easy to do yourself! For years the original French manicure has been womens’ go-to look for just about every occasion, be it a dinner party, wedding, or any other social get together, these traditional tips were sure to be seen. The traditional soft pink base with pristine white tips was a classic design for any fashion conscious female.

But now women yearn for more, something a little edgier? An untraditional take on the classic French manicure? So evolved the Reverse French Manicure with any two colors of your choice - pairing a darker base with a sparkly hue, or metallic on metallic, dark on dark, or mixing soft and dark shades together. The options are endless!

Unlike the Reverse French Manicures of past trends, which show white nails with black tips, the season’s Reverse French takes an avant guard turn with a half moon curved ivory bottom to the nail with the rest of the nail black. The Reverse French, was originally know as the "half-moon" manicure and first showed up in the the 1920's, reaching mass popularity during the 1930's.

What you will need to get these nails:

• A base coat

• 2 different nail colors of your choice

• Self-adhesive hole reinforcements

• A quick drying topcoat

• Acetone

Here's how you can get 'em!

Soak hands in warm water to soften them and use a cuticle pusher to push back your softened cuticles, leaving more room to paint. This will also create a smoother surface for the nail polish. Start with a buff, freshly cut and shaped nails in a slightly shorter style.

Step 1 : Apply two thin coats of light pink nail polish on each nail. This is the base coat for the manicure. Let dry completely. This prevents staining your nails and helps the polish wear longer and helps prevent chipping. If you don't have a base coat, use a clear polish to at least put a barrier between your natural nail and the colored polish.

Step 2 : Pick one color for your half moon section and apply in a straight line. We recommend a fast drying polish because you will need to wait until your base coat is completely dry. If the base coat is not completely dry the polish may be lifted off when you remove the masking tape.

Step 3 : Take the self-adhesive hole reinforcements and cut them down in the middle. Apply one sticker to each nail making sure the round side is facing down from the cuticle towards the end of your nail covering the first color about 2-3mm. Make sure the sticker is placed on securely to prevent the polish from bleeding onto the base color(Another variation of this type could be to use the hole reinforcement sticker the other way i.e. round side is facing up).

Step 4 : Apply the second color to the rest of your nails from the round part of the sticker to the tip of your nails very slowly. This creates a moon at the bottom so the focal point is near the cuticle rather than the tip.

Step 5 : Once the second color has completely dried remove the stickers slowly from one side only and then clean up any unwanted edges with acetone. If done correctly, you should have gotten a nice crisp moon shape on your nails.

Step 6 : Apply a clear top coat of polish. This will help lock in the polishes and create a nice shiny look.

And Voilà, you are done. This manicure is a little fiddly to achieve, but with a bit of patience you can have this great looking moon down nail art that's hot off the runways and can enjoy the compliments you'll get on this eye-catching manicure.

So, what do you think folks? Hit or Miss .. You decide?

Try them on and we hope they turn out great for you! Don’t be afraid to try out different color combinations, the trick is use the lighter or contrasting shade for the moon of your nail. Consider updating your look, and trying this untraditional trend for your next big occasion!

As we go along we promise to keep our eyes peeled, on behalf of our amazing fans and report on any trends that may crop up. So stay connected!

Its being said that you can tell a lot about someone just by looking at their shoes. We've all heard this saying...Yes! Same goes for your F-sense (read fashion sense). Style can be developed, but what you like or don't like comes out of how the stars align. This time of the year is for Cancers (The Crab) and the key phrase used in astrology to describe the crab is "I feel", the Cancer's song.

Zodiac Symbol:

The Crab. The crab sign fits the cancer well, with its hard exterior. The crab carries its home on its back and is therefore never far from home.

Do you know Cancerian women? How do you feel they are - chirpy, somber or distant? They are all of these and still they are none of these. Gasping in surprise...A cancerian woman is sensitive, emotional, kind and caring but their traits are hidden behind a shell of indifference, protection and being withdrawn. One has to be very gentle to coerce a Cancerian girl get out of her shell. Cancer is a water sign.

The Look : Vive la femme

Cancerians love luxury and stability but they also crave comfort and familiarity. They look for exclusive label when shopping and probably would head to the same stores and brands they love but they seek out classic styles instead of whatever is the hottest trend. Cancerian women like soft fabrics with feminine details, like lace or embroidery. The most sought after dress is jumpsuit or a fresh white button down shirt/ top paired with a bootcut jeans or a super flirty flowing romantic long skirts and tie the look together with flip flops or peep toe heels. They are not too trendy, but rather prefer classic and sophisticated style. Even clad in the most traditional of dresses, they always keep an air of femininity about their wardrobe. Super trendy in their styling, they pull off the latest fashions quite comfortably through their own intrinsic sense of style and panache. They love the touch of watery satin on the skin and will often wear a luxurious, matching set of lingerie beneath the conventional outerwear. Also Cancerians like to keep their look based on their mood of the day. So their style changes each day. After a hard day at work, they prefer jumping into their favorite pair of pajamas or comfy pants as they always prefer comfort over style. For office they usually carry a timeless look with a plain trench coat, a bright lining blouse and sensible heels.

Accessories:

Cancers love to accessorize. They look for creativity and are always searching for unique and artsy accessories.

They enjoy vintage pieces that are sentimental and have meaning.

They love watches and usually have several of them to select from.

Accessories Report: Animal Print

noreply@blogger.com (Via Mazzini) — Mon, 27 May 2013 13:52:00 +0000

By Via Mazzini

Has the leopards, snakes, and zebras ever really gone out of style? They never had gone far, and now we see their return as one of this seasons hottest fashion trends. Animal print that was so fashionable in the 70’s is all the rage again now! Our feline friends were spotted all over the catwalk this season. And we are loving this trend so freaking damn much. Its ‘Hot’ and ‘So Sexy’..

Animal Magnetism

Brunch : Barely does these animal prints work best, if you are hesitant about donning this trend during the day. Pair a snake print T-shirt with skinny trousers and an oversized denim shirt for a relaxed look. If you want to rather experiment more, try mixing animal prints with florals. We recommend plain light color dress and a tiger print necklace. For example: It’s dress down Friday and you are tired of thinking about what to wear to work, pair a simple button down shirt and skinny jeans with a animal print themed necklace, may be leopard or zebra.

Work : Only the feisty and fierce girls can carry this trend off in a corporate environment. Wear your favorite printed dress teamed with a blazer for the office along with animal print footwear or sunglasses. By pairing your edgy animal printed top with khaki, black, and cream you can make it office appropriate. But keep your styling conservative and clean. If you are unsure, stick to accessories that have some Grrr like rings and bracelets as they draw attention and add a subtle glamour to your look. Also what you can do is add covers to your all time carry gadgets like mobiles or ipad with animal prints like snake, leopard or tiger. It helps you flaunt your latest gadget.

Evening : Unless you are out on a first date, go all out and show your adventurous side with an animal print dress paired with crimson lips and a sleek bun. Or if you are unsure but want to have a smaller bite on the trend then wear a sleek A-line dress and carry an oversized animal print clutch to add pizzazz. Adding a funky necklace to your leopard print top paired with skinny jeans can take the animal print from tame to just the right amount of wild for an evening out. If you have a date at night with your beau, wear a simple body con dress with your favorite red lipstick and a pair of animal print pumps, and will you have all the eye catchy glamour. Animal print looks great with black, red, hot pink, and blue. If you don’t want to take a chance or are afraid to experiment, try wearing a scarf. And since nail art is the latest trend to try, go animal print all the way to the tips of your fingers.

Add one animal print piece to your outfit to add ‘Sicilian’ sensuality to your look

Don’t wear more than one piece at a time. Just try to keep your outfit simple when you plan to put on animal print accessories. Less is more with this trend

Find a print that you are comfortable in. Experiment if you are confident to flaunt the wild side of yours

Animal prints are attention grabbing pieces, so make sure that you’re putting it on your best feature i.e. the body part you are most confident about

Keep your makeup as natural as possible. A heavy done up face does not go well with look. However, you can sport a sexy red lip to add a touch of classic glamour without overpowering the rest of your look

People think animal prints should be reserved for the wild girl. While we agree bold heels and leopard would be a great option for an evening out, there is no reason to keep your animal print tucked away all day! It’s roaring big this season, so you can wear as much print as you like, or just add a little touch with animal print accessories to give a hint of the animal inside you. The general rule for donning animal print successfully is to relate the volume of animal print to your personality. Dress like Kim Kardashian, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff - just some of the celebs that are rocking the animal print fashion this season!!

Every woman must definitely have at least one animal print fashion piece in her wardrobe. It is a great way to make any simple outfit pop. With so many options to choose from, we help you select how to unleash your fierce side irrespective of the occasion.

Hey everyone! I am Payal. I’m feeling so excited to be coming to you today though vmfashion.com BlogSpot. This is my first blog here so obviously, I’m thrilled! And what better way to kick start a new chapter than with style?

Sometimes I get frustrated with my wardrobe, and I’m pretty sure you all would feel the same. I can’t really fight the temptation and the satisfaction I draw out of shopping for my closet, and getting creative with my stuff. Well, it doesn’t hurt to stock up a little! And even if I never actually end up owning them, fashion is fantasy, and oh so much fun.
This post is dedicated to the women’s best friends - those pretty trinkets in your closet. Yes you got it right, the oh-so–gorgeous jewellery pieces.
Here’s my Top 5 list. I’m going to keep this short and sweet.
1. I love an unusual necklace to add a playful edge to what I’m wearing.
2. It is all about mixing and matching, and most importantly, having lots of fun. Just one rule - the more the merrier. Cuff bracelets have also made a come-back and I am loving every minute of it.
3. ‘Natural and Handmade’ is the hottest trend of the year - Flora and Fauna inspired jewellery, pieces made of feathers, wood etc. are so much fun, unique and impressive! Owl and foxes still continue to be fashion’s furry friend! Also, try this trend in an unusual bag design.
4. Geometric trend - wear round, square, and even triangles for a totally fashion forward look.
5. For the evening outs, use short or small chandelier earrings pepped up with a gorgeous pendant necklace in crystal. Bling, Bling..

Aaaaand I just had to add in this last shot - My Golden Rule: Just be true to yourself. If you want to accentuate your personality then step out with all your originality and uniqueness. Let’s cheers to make mistakes and anything under the sun but to be afraid of experimenting with style. Follow your gut rather than google when trying something new. You’re welcome for the giggle! :)

I already have some new goodies to try on from Via Mazzini collection and can’t wait to experiment a few new styles with them. You too browse, click, type, click, and repeat. Choose the most trendy jewellery pieces and embrace the new season in style.

Have a freakin’ blast!
