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.)

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 

Scarf and trousers matching

I was watching the Commonwealth games closing ceremony. One outfit stood out to me and that was the look of the famous singer Lulu was wearing.

The whole idea of matching a scarf to trousers/pants print seems classy. It's something I've never thought to do before and it works. However, finding scarf with same print as trousers can be tricky. Lulu also wore this easier to replicate outfit:

If you can't find prints that match then try bold colours instead. The concept of scarf and trousers matching is rather novel and to me screams autumn/fall.

Here are some other people wearing the scarf-trouser match look:

Coral Coloured Weddings

Lately this summer, I have seen the colour of Coral for bridesmaids a lot in weddings. This colour doesn't always mean 'under the sea' as many may think for a theme but it just looks nice I do suppose. As I wouldn't personally choose this colour for my wedding, maybe you might like it as it is extremely popular right now. The colour of Coral in a 'dark' or 'deep' shade is what many are choosing lately. I have passed by a wedding once when traveling to see a wedding crowd in the Coral shade. Below is one wedding of people that I know that recently got married in the past month this summer. ( Sad thing is though I never attended their wedding, I just got the pictures from Facebook.)

The dresses the bridesmaids are wearing are a 'bright' but 'deep' Coral shade and look so good with the gems and sequins that are decorating the top of the gowns. 

Here are some other pictures I pulled from the Internet. What do you think? Would you choose Coral for your wedding? Let us know in the comments!

This colour is so summery and is perfect for a wedding outdoors. There are many styles as you all know for bridesmaids dresses and both long or short bridesmaids dresses with this colour can look good with your style of gown. Colours do matter when you want your gown to show. This colour makes the wedding 'warm' and doesn't take too much away from the 'glow' or 'shine' of the bride. Such a happy colour for a wedding this colour is! :) 

By the way, you don't have to have your wedding near a beach to wear this colour (but you probably knew that!) Just have it where you want because this colour is a magnificant shade for any place during the summer. 

I hope you enjoy this post and enjoy your summer! -Khaki :)

clip on fringe/bang

Ever felt like you wanted a fringe but not permanently or you are dressing up as a character who has a fringe but you don't? I've found you a solution. Some may say it's crazy or waste of money but what you do with your hair is your business and nobody else's.

Here is how to apply these bangs/fringes:

Hope you enjoy creating wonderful looks with fake bangs.

Time for jewelry

Here is a modern bracelets that double up as a watch. They are a great accessory although watches can look cute too. 
Perhaps you're at a party or posh event and you feel a watch isn't classy enough or you want to out gadget a friend.

People would think you are wearing a white bangle 

but actually there is another bangle under it telling you the time. 

Pretty neat right?

From this website: http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/10/05/this-bangle-means-business/

High fashion meets high-tech in this unique concept called the Mini Projector Bangle. You’d never know from looking at it, but this wrist ornament houses a powerful high def projector and USB data storage, making it possible to project presentations directly on to any surface. Simply slide a finger over the touch sensitive bangle to move between slides or touch to turn on the LED time display. Perfect for the working woman!

To be honest I'm not sure what is so bad with wearing a watch as some can be really decorative and elegant these days. What do you think. a great invention or why bother?

A look for airplane

It's difficult to dress for flights these days, especially when you start in a country that is hot and visit somewhere colder or other way round.

This is my (Sequins) idea of what to wear:

Shoes

I would wear something really casual but still with style. No uncomfortable shoes or heels as you'd be walking lots in airport and taking them off for the security scan machine part. I'd recommend flats like converse,sneakers,boat shoes...

Jewelry

For jewelry I'd suggest nothing metal for going through metal detectors so, wooden accessories would be a nice option or even plastic could be an option. The ones in the photo are wooden colourful beads on elastic thread. They look cute too and you can make stuff yourself or find a jewelry set to fit your style.

Being comfortable

I put a denim jacket with my outfit as it's really cold where I'm going but a hoodie/sweater would be great and comfortable too. You want to be able to sit for hours on the airplane without getting annoyed by your outfit. 

Different temperatures in different country

If it's hot in one country but cold in the other layering right is key. I have a floral vest top with denim jacket in my look. Think of things you can remove/add to an outfit to fit both destinations e.g. light outerwear or hats.  Plus wearing bulkier things save room in suitcase such as a jacket or large summer hat.

No belts

Any pants/trousers would  have to be able to not have a belt as you'd most likely have to have to take the belt of at airport security. 

The same thing applies for males too. Great pants/trousers to wear would be those with elasticated waist or try leggings with long t-shirt or dress you can sit in for long time. e.g. a t-shirt dress or casual skater dress that's not too short. Or try jeans without belts if they stay up easily like the ones in my outfit. (They do up with a side zip and fit snug on me).   

Hopefully this gives you some idea on how to dress comfortably on airplans or long journeys it would apply for taking a train abroad for example.

Close up your life

Just like these photos I took of a newspaper left on my desk you have to think of what your outfit looks like close up and far away.

What I mean is the details in an outfit like the details on a newspaper...the font,wrinkles,shapes,patterns.

Yes you have to think when putting an outfit together how the colours work together but also take into consideration, 'does the outfit look good from far away and close up'.

If you are out for the night and want to get noticed an outfit that is classy and well thought-out is better than one with too much going on and each element is lost in the busy combination. No potential new partner will get to take in your full beauty if you are lost in a combination of clothes. 

A statement necklace might look pretty close up  but not from far away because of how you paired it. 

Think about the little details and the far away aspect of an outfit.

Make the right impression as you walk out your door.
