How to Find your Own Fashion Style

Hi everyone!!
I have missed you so much and today I come with a really good topic to talk about: fashion. I am not a fashionista, nor am I very interested in knowing all trends. However, i have learned a few things about how to improve your style by being yourself.
First of all, people need to know their body type a square body, circle body, etc. Look at the image below to identify your body type.

Now that you know what your body type is, you can start researching what could fit you best.
Remember that whatever you wear has to speak for you,  if you dont feel comfortable with what you are wearing you won't feel confident enough. Not all trends, or colors suit everyone so look for what looks best on you and continue.I am a firm believer in the fact that if you look fabulous you will feel fabulous and then your day will go perfectly. Whenever i feel like the day im going to have is going to be long or hard, i dress up. This kind of makes me feel more confident and i take a different approach on a hard day. Maybe it does not make it an amazing day but you will receive a few compliments.
Now onto finding your fashion style.
There is so much inspiration everywhere that even the less artistic person could know what makes them feel inspired and see something they like. Find colors, style cuts that you appeal to and slowly start making changes to your simple style. Stray away from neutrals and reach for colors and patterns.

5 Tips to Start your Day Great!

Hello everyone!!

Hope you have had an awesome week so far. I wanted to share a post on how to start your day great because a lot of times for me it can be a bit of a problem because I always prefer to take those 10 minutes more, which becomes 30 or 40 minutes. Then I have to wake up in a hurry because I didn't get things done. 

So these are simple things that will make your life feel more organized and clutter-less.

1. Have a good night sleep: Your body needs a minimum of 6 hours of rest. However, I firmly believe that sleeping for 8-10 hours is better because your body has time to fully regenerate.

2. Have a plan: A lot of times we don't make plans or have a list of things to do. This always leads to staying more in bed and then waking up in a hurry. Make a list of things to do for example: Take a shower, do some yoga, go to school.

3. Get light in: Once you wake up don't keep those curtains closed. Make sure you open them to receive all that good Vitamin D. It is so interesting to see just how sunlight can change your mood and it does help so get that natural light in.

4. Have breakfast: Breakfast is so important and it really defines on how you are going to spend the rest of your day. If you have time to do your makeup, then you have time to eat. Try a green smoothie, omelettes, or yogurt with cereal.

5. Smile and be Polite: Smiling in the morning is very important because it shows what mentality you are going to be at the rest of the day. Just because a day started badly does not mean it has to end up badly.

The extra one: 

Be confident: Be confident in how you look, what you do, and always always be confident with yourself.

How to Organize in Small Spaces

Hello Lovelies!!

This video is all about organizing in small spaces. If you  live in a college dorm, are a college student with a budget, or share a roommate you totally understand what I mean. In my room back home, having a walk in closet was so comfortable, but everything changed once I reached college. These tips are awesome if you need space saving in your closet, jewelry and makeup.

Recycle:

Recycling Wine bottles and using them as bracelet holder is a very good way to organize and decorate. Use them for headbands and necklaces too.

Magazines are great decor. Specially in dorm rooms where you can't use nails so using photos and cut-outs from magazines to create collages gives the impression that your room is well put and a bit more interesting and colorful.

Stacking Magazines:

I love my magazines, but once you finish reading them instead of taking them to your bathroom and stacking them opt for stacking them and using them to help display jewelry. As shown below, I use my magazines to create a platform for my makeup and jewelry.

Use what you have:

You don't need extra decor in a small space. Specially because it can create clutter and that is what you don't want at all, right? So if you have a nice perfumebottle display and try to create a balance between all the products by displaying them neatly and kind of messy at the same time.

Use kitchen utensils:

A lot of times kitchen utensils are great for jewelry organizers. The wooden thing you see below is actually a cup hanger but I use them for my bracelets.

For Makeup:

Use lipstick holders: lipstick holders are the best way to display your lipstick. This way you won't forget what lipsticks you have and will be easy to grab if you are on the go. Buying lipstick holders is really easy. I bought mine at The Container Store but you can also get them at Ebay or Amazon.

Hang your brushes

I used to always keep my brushes in a my brush roller, but by displaying them I reach for them more often. I chose to hang them because my small space does not have more space to keep it elsewhere.

Maximize Space:

I use a hanger to put cotton swabs and your brushes. I also use it to put my cameras and some cables. This way it is easier for me to find it later.

What are some of your ideas on space saving and organizing?

Let me know in the comments below. Have a Great day.

Countdown to Christmas: How to keep warm and fashionable in Winter

Heyoo:)

I am starting this new Countdown to Christmas in which every single day there is going to  be a post that can be related to fashion, beauty, or my randomness. Christmas is definitely my favorite time of year since it is all lights, carols, family, and friends. So in this segment you will find OOTDs, holiday tutorials, vlogs, holiday giveaway ideas and so much more. I am sooo excited to be counting down to Christmas stay tune for a lot of surprises as well!!!!!!

Days to Christmas: 22

When trying to be warm for the winter a lot of us (ahem me) can forget how to include being fashionable. Instead we kind of lean towards being more cozy and comfortable. What most of us do not know is that we can be all cozy without risking not being fashionable. I definitely like having both on my side.


Tip #1:

A Pop of color:

I love wearing all black outfits with a pop of color. I like black because it is not overpowering with layering and it also doesn't make me look like a grizzly bear just walking around the city of Seoul.

For the pop of color choose a scarf with a really cool pattern. Check out one of my favorite fashion icons (Blake Lively) rocking this tip

If you are not the scarf type of girl choose a handbag or purse that will stand out. I also love wearing different colored shoes with my all black outfit.

Tip # 2

Bulky it up on different sections

Its winter time and I love my uggs. That doesn't mean you will see me also wearing baggy sweatpants, uggs, and a slouchy sweater. In the contrary when using bulky pieces such as uggs I like to wear pixie pants or warm cozy legging to even out the look.

In this photo I am wearing a skirt, pantyhose and my uggs making the look more fashionable and girly. Its a little bit colder in Seoul now than when this picture was taken. But if I had to take a picture today I would wear my Uniqlo Heattech leggings beneath it.

So these are my tips for today stay tuned for this Countdown to Christmas series and for A LOT OF SURPRISES!!!

Avocado Hair treatment

Hello Gorgeous ladies!!!
So, I know I have been MIA but it is december which means finals, but still we should always spend some time blogging and I just want to share something I did to my hair on Saturday.

My hair is very sensitive, dry and sometimes even oily(luckily my hair does not get shiny because of it) but still you get an idea. This treatment I am about to show you is for people with dry hair and trust me, it works!! It leaves my hair so soft and my hair is usually not. It makes it manageable and easy to handle.

What you'll need :
-1 avocado
-1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons of Olive oil
-Shower cap
-1/2 lime


1. Put everything together. Squish Squish Squish. MIX MIX MIX.
2.  Spread it on your hair
3. Use a plastic hair cap so that the natural heat helps the oils silk on your hair
4. Wait as long as possible for better results
5. rinse and clean as usual
