Styling Tips for Men

 Don't be afraid to use accessories and colour GUYS!!!

For those who think that there are very limited accessories for guys, well think again, There are plenty of them everywhere! :) you just have to look around and open your pretty eyes.

If you think about it you have watches, belts and ties (which are the most common of all boring business men) but there are a lot of other great options out there that can be experimented with and revived from previous fashion eras. Items such as bows, braces, hats, glasses, umbrellas, broaches, appliques are not very common these days. So take advantage of the of times of previous eras to accessorize and customize your unique style.

Try to combine nice fitted clothes (jackets, pants and shirts) which you know you look good in, and don't be afraid to experiment with some nice accessories which can give you your own unique and trendy style of look. Remember guys, if you feel good in what you are wearing you will stand out and look great,"not to mention more girls will notice you" ;)

Styling of the day: Vintage! "School Girl"

Hey!!!

Bringing you another segment of vintage/retro styling.
I found 80% of the outfit at a second hand shop/op shop in Ljubljana and it cost me less than 6 euros for a woolen jumper, skirt and white shirt, which was a bargain!
I already owned the shoes and stockings to make the styling complete.
I thought the jumper was really cute with embroidered designs of wheat flowers completed with a warm beige colour.

Its a stylish modern retro look which I like.

Jumper: Beige wool vintage jumper

Skirt: Mini Scottish skirt

Shirt: White shirt

Shoes: Old vintage shoes painted gold and knee stockings

On another note....

On the weekend my husband and I traveled to Trieste, Italy and then to Ljubljana Slovenia to check out the trends in fashion.

Our observation:

If you are not familiar with Italians and fashion, they love their brands and you can see that a lot of money has been poured into stylish fashionable clothes and accessories from brands such as Versace, Armani to Gucci.
Black and gold seems to be in fashion with the help of big sun glasses, designer handbags and various other kitchy and blingy styled accessories and clothes.
With European winter on our door step I am expecting to see a lot of Italians fitting out their wardrobes with new items of high fashion.
   
On the other hand Ljubljana seems to be on a lower key in comparison to Trieste when it concerns brands.
There wasn't much high fashion brands to be seen however, the people are stylish and elegant (which i like).
All in all I think its not how much you spend, its how smart you are as a shopper to create a nice style at an affordable price.

On one other note...

The patterns for my jackets are coming around nicely, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures today because my camera went flat just as I was about to take some photos...
I am pretty happy with my progress at this stage, and by the end of the week the patterns should be finalized.
I am currently looking into quality fabrics for the pieces, so if you know of any decent online fabric stores please let me know.

Styling of the day: Vintage! "Bad Teacher"

Welcome back!

Bringing you another segment of vintage/retro styling and fashion.

Similar to my previous post but with out the blue jumper.

This reminded me of how my primary(elementary) school teacher dressed up everyday back in the day, except she was in her 60's. Thinking back now she always had a decent fashion sense and Its great to see it all coming back with the help of modern styling and fashion.

  

 

 Vintage modern styling clothes:  

United Colours of Benetton red

Vintage 40s skirt

Red High Heels

Styling of a day, Vintage! "Everyday Girl"

So I had a little bit of inspiration and the urge to experiment with some vintage clothes and as you can see the results :)
I already had the skirt and shirt and I found the jumper at my local second hand/op shop.
I immediately fell in love with the colour and the cut of the design, and with an affordable price tag I just couldn't say no.
It didn't take me too long to work out a stylish vintage combination, it just fell together by itself very nicely. 
All in all I'm pretty happy with the results :)
I would love to know what you think.

P.s I get a real buzz out of dressing up and styling and I have decided that I will be doing regular dress ups for vintage and retro styling, but until next time :)

Vintage modern styling clothes:

Vintage 80s blue jumper
