Pixie Perfect!

Hey everyone, it's Khaki here! How are you today? Anyway, I am posting on behalf of my fabulous Pixie Cut I got done way back in June! I have been thinking about posting this for forever and finally felt the need to do it now. So, yeah... 

Okay, first of all, there are many excuses people give as to why they shouldn't get a Pixie Cut. Sad, but so true. I am simply going to give you people an example and explain some things about the excuse. 

'The Pixie Cut' wont look good on me.'  This is the number one thing a person says when they are thinking about getting a Pixie Cut or not. This is like the worst excuse ever to be completely honest with you all. First off, how do you know if you never try? A Pixie Cut does take a lot of wit to get done because it is a short, short cut but there are many different styles of the cut. So, before you complain again like this, which I have actually done once before getting my Pixie Cut, note that if you have never tried, you don't know whether it looks good on you or not. 

The Pixie Cut is a 'risk' worth taking! I am serious! It really opened my eyes and boosted my confidence level a whole ass tone! I fricken love my short hair and it is much more easier to manage. :) Not just those things either though, but people can see that you are not hidden as much. 

Second of all, 'Dun, Dun, Dun...' There are some major misconceptions about getting a Pixie Cut. Here's a list: 

People think that it is too boyish. Can we rethink that? A Pixie Cut actually is one of the most feminine hair cuts for a lady there is! Wow, beat that! :)

'Pixie Cuts are for Lesbians.' If you thought this, you are absolutely wrong. There are celebrities that are straight up straight and have a cute Pixie Cut. What the hell were you thinking? Yeah, that's right. I forgive you! 

Shailene Woodley

Jennifer Lawrence

Halle Berry

Short hair doesn't grow back that fast. You would be surprised at how fast your hair grows back when it is that short. It grows back so much faster because you can see it.

Third. Lengths of Pixie Cuts! Not everyone like the Pixie Cut as short as Miley Cyrus. Some need it all a bit longer. I am going to make this easy for everyone, so pay extra close attention! (This post is already really long so just note them without seeing pictures.)

 Scarfs/Handkerchiefs.

 Just wear some lipstick!

 Sculpt with gel a certain way.

I hope you see that you can dress up a short cut such as a cute Pixie with this post. I absolutely love my Pixie Cut and I hope you have enough courage like me to get one! If you have any other questions, please comment below and we can help you! :D 

The Pixie Cut is a very fresh, healthy, modern, and feminine cut that will suit anybody. Try it today so you will have the excuse later to say why you do love it! -Khaki 

Get the look 2

This look is smart and great for warm weather. If heels are not for you then ballet flats would work well too. The bright satchel bag adds colour to the otherwise monochrome outfit. It makes a subdued outfit look inviting. Gold statement jewelry is very trendy at the moment with chains being the most popular accessory well up their with hair bows.

 All the elements have potential to be styled with many other items you might already own not only because they are neutral (minus the bag) but, because of the classic cuts/style of the clothing.

Are wrap tops becoming the new smart trend?

These tops are really elegant and I figured I show you all how you can wear them. I've been seeing a lot of celebrities on TV adverts wearing them recently and they all look very well put together. Admittedly they have stylists to help them and they probably are versions on wrap tops that cost thousands.. However, if you read on you'll discover how you can look posh and elegant yourself without spending a lot of money.

First off here are a few celebs sporting these tops:

Jennifer Lopez

Emma Watson

Holly Willoughby

How I'd wear the top find it here: 

How you can wear these gorgeous tops/blouses:

This link takes you to a how to wear drape top polyvore set where you can find cute places to buy the tops.

(plus the clothing featured in my style picture).

If you're worried about exposing your chest to the world you can put a vest top underneath. 

Putting these tops in your wardrobe will mean you have a staple item that will go with anything. From jeans,pencil skirt to shorts will all look great with the drape top. 

They would work for any occasion from in the office to at a party to even on holiday down on the beach. 

To me they're the most versatile top out there to rock up this spring in shops everywhere.

  

Follow this and avoid drama.

Basically what he is saying in the quote is that shouting at someone will not help get your point across. It would only make the situation worse. However, changing the words that you use would make it much more clear to the person you are mad at or debating with. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Avoiding drama is all about compromise. Yes you might disagree with someone to the point they make you angry but, at times you have to agree to disagree.

If you think you are better than someone and show it then normally drama starts. It's better to be more helpful to others and not be a show off...even if you are better at sport for example or get better grades.

Insulting others wont help either. Respect others believes, actions, style/image and where they come from. You never know how hard they have life. People tend to hide a lot of themselves and past and taking the mick normally provokes argument and tension. 

Not many people do this but, trying to avoid drama you have to avoid being heavily critical about someone. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Don't poke fun, criticize, insult or get angry and shout at people when you disagree/ try and get your own way. Then you are more likely to avoid a lot of drama in life. 

Even if you dislike how someone is acting you don't need to shout and get all defensive just calmly say to them not to act that way in a way that don't offend anyone. If I make sense.

How to Look Great in a Pencil Skirt

The Pencil Skirt was a hit a few years ago, but today you can still make the pencil skirt look great! Solid and bright, bold colours make the skirt one to wear today. It is quite a simple look yet it shows positivity and is just calling for some fun!

The Vibrant Pencil Skirt: 1) Cobalt Pencil Skirt, Glamorous; 2) Mint Sequin Pencil Skirt,Topshop; 3) Tomato Leather Zip Detail Skirt, Miss Selfridge; 5) Yellow Asymmetric Peplum Skirt,River Island. For more, visit: www.femside.com

Pencil skirts in vibrant colours are fun to wear! Brighten up any dull office day. Just look at those colours. How bright and fun! 

Unlike the Skater Skirt for 2014, the Pencil Skirt should be styled, 'solid with solid.' Pair a solid top with your solid skirt and add a cute clutch and necklace in addition.

These skirts are really jolly to wear and I can't wait to try one for the spring/summer season! As I figure out a shirt to pair with my skirt, maybe I will link a picture in the comments of myself and my look. So, be sure to stay tuned! 

Have any questions? Need help with anything? Be sure to comment. We would like to help you. Have something you would like to say? We love to hear positive feedback! Thanks. :) 

Lace sock are the new girly thing.

i

There is something unfashionable about the socks and sandal look but, the socks with heel look works really effectively. I guess it depends on what type of shoe you go for.
The lace sock however remarks to be delicate and makes a shoe more comfortable to wear.
The vintage type of style works best for this type of sock. That's just my opinion. Not dissing the goth/emo lace sock look that can create amazing combinations of clothing.

The whole "socks in sandals" look is seen as a fashion don't, right. Switch the sock to a lace one and you have a very girly look  and can work with a sandal too, just not in a flip flop or on the beach.

If you're a goth, indie kid, vintage etc you can add a lace sock to your everyday look and it will not stick out as if you've added a lace scrunchies to your leg. It will compliment the look. It all depends how many patterns and other lace elements are in the outfit.

I'm always reminded by the childhood white socks with the band of lace on top when I see lace topped socks. Like these:

Then again they are becoming very stylish to wear in a heel shoe. They're pretty for evening decoration in an outfit.         

Patisserie de bain~bath fancies review.

These luxury bath cupcakes (not to be eaten) are pretty cute. They make your bath oily and relaxing with a floral scent such as violet or rose and many more on offer on the huge range.

Even though they are a little pricey they make a great gift for any female, young or old. 
The bath experience is indulging when you add one of these fizzy cupcake bath bombs.

Your skin afterwards is smooth and soft. It also makes shaving easier and stops razor burn. An added plus really.

You have to remove the cupcake paper and flower first and then watch it fizz in the water making it shimmer and sparkle. The oil content reacts with the water making it have a shinny effect to the bath. Normal bath bombs make your bath water turn a different colour which is a great affect to watch develop however, the bath cupcakes sparkles the water.

I highly recommend these. 
A fabulous valentines present or birthday. I got a set for Christmas and really enjoy the effect of smooth skin. 

Here are places you can get them and try them out for yourself:

Or you can try making bath cupcake fizzies yourself.
I found youtube videos showing you how:

Have fun making bombs and also enjoy having relaxing baths.

Are shorts getting too short?

I know it is still cold and if you're anywhere like me in England then wet and windy too but, I'm hopeful for warm weather to come.

Like the photo on the left, teenagers are wearing shorts so short in some cases that they show butt cheeks. Really to me that's not "classy".

Of course you can get shorts that don't show your bum but the patterns available are harder to find. You go into a shop and want a pair that's not going to be getting men eyeing you up and perving on you. Then you find a tone of tiny ones that would give you a wedgie.

They can also be called "hot pants" but I don't think much is hot about them. I think they're another way of girls attracting guys attention but, to me it's the wrong kind of attention.
What do you think?

 Typical Hipster "short" shorts. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is the type of stereotype that this short short trend is based on. Typically worn by teenagers and young adults. Hipster style is one of the most popular type out there. 

Here is how to be hipster http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Hipster 

A typical outfit and my favourite one of the hipster style wearing far too short shorts. (Yet, I'd wear it with shorts that are a little longer). 

Long pendant and open shirt or cardigan look. 

Examples of what I think are inappropriate for young adults or teens to be wearing out in public:

   When I see girls in the tiny shorts I think this:

I'm not saying shorts and the hipster style is bad. I'm saying that a lot of people wear the shorts that hardly cover your behind. That length of them I'm saying is not appropriate to wear. I don't want you to feel bad by this but to think about if it is suitable. Yes wearing shorts is fine and can look really pretty however, to have them showing of your bum like your wearing denim underwear is not on. 

Anyway bring on the hot weather so we can get our legs out wearing nice shorts that actually cover our behinds he he. 

Styling Skater Skirts

Skater skirts are so much fun! And for 2014, they got even more funner! (Yes, 'funner' is a word!) Because they are so tight, any shirt looks good with them, and you know, they just scream 'girly!' Styling them in 2014 has become simple yet defined. Below are some looks.

Denim has become a trend in the skater skirt. They are simple yet can be styled in so many ways.

Accessories do matter when styling this look, believe it or not! Shoulder bags are great! A necklace works well. Try to play around a bit when styling your skater skirt! Adding just one piece to your look can freshen things up a bit!

You may want to consider wearing a Utilitarian shirt with your skirt; as in the gray shirt on the right.

Darker coloured skirts or denim have really shown up around the skater skirt 'trend-line' recently. Also, for Skater Dresses, lace has become trending as well!

The Skater Skirt Look List for 2014
-Style solids with prints for a bold look!
-A bun in your hair is a great look with the skater skirt. 
-Pair some simple boots with your skater skirt.
-The right pair of sunglasses can be added. 

 Remember for that fun, fresh look, a solid colour should be worn with a print, especially for 2014. Have fun styling this cute and girly look! :)
