Pantone's Colour of the Year 2017: Greenery

Greenery

cr. R.Allum 2015

If you've been following the Pantone hype you know that they match up other colours with the colour of the year. I'm not getting into that but do keep scrolling for outfit inspiration! ^_^

Greenery, it's self explanatory name and color. Greenery, grass, leaves, nature. Not the rich, dark green of a northern forest but more like the the new leaves of a mango tree. The colour of macha I'd say to be exact. The range is that of light to med-light yellow greens.

Green is a colour that has been proven to improve mood. This is why looking out the car window on a long drive out of the city can be so calming.
Light green can symbolise a fresh start or new beginning. Like the new growth of a mango tree.
Green is also synonymous with prosperity for some crystal meanings so may this year be just that! It also applies to the heart chakra so let there be love! World love :3

Pantone chose this colour because they wish to boost the mood of the world. Hopefully fashion bloggers and retailers embrace the colour and we see a shift from constant neutrals and metallics in everyday wear. Bring Back Colourrr! Maybe in Spring there'll be a change :D

Personally I would have gone with another jewel tone/name like Peridot/Olivine but we had Rose Quartz last year sooo... :'D

Here's to green! and nature inspired outfits! 

I whipped up some quick outfits from H&M.

Change is Imminent

Tobago 2016 R.Allum

I have changed, we all change. I still love beauty and fashion but currently I cannot give as much thought to it as I used to with what the world is going through.  My eyes aren't blind and my inner-self says that there are more pressing things I can write on than what I wear and where to buy what I wore :s I will try to update here soon. I have many drafts that just need to be completed so I will try my best to update soon. Not an empty promise this time :'D On a less deep note, I went to Tobago again this year and had no phone casualties xD

5 Staple: Nail Polish/Lacquer colours

So you have decided to indulge further into the "Girly Realm" and have started buying nail polish. Here are five colours you should buy first! The must haves if your collection is going to be manageable. (good luck with keeping your collection that way)

It's hard to buy polish especially when there are affordable brands like Kleancolor, L.A colors and L.A Girl that do not limit how much you can buy >.<
If you're buying the mid-priced and higher end polishes you probably want to have a few colours you know you will use often. I personally have a mix of both but the more expensive polishes are the staple colours.

Here are the colours (in no particular order)

Nude polish

When I say nude I mean a nude that suits your skin-tone. These can either be pinkish hued or brown or peach even beige depending on your skin-tone. You don't want a nude polish that makes your nails look yellow and icky.

Red polish

Everyone needs a red polish for those fiery feeling days when hot doesn't cut it but fierce does.
Just as with nudes the appropriate red for your tone should be chosen. If you already have a lipstick that is the perfect red for you then try to match it or a shade lighter or darker depending on your hands.

Metallic polish: gold or silver or copper

This is essential for Glam Nights or days on the beach when you want your toes to be treasure.

Black polish

Are words needed?
Grungy week, then black. Chic and Sleek, then black. Busted feet, then black.
This comes in handy for patterns too.

Neon polish

This is a must have nowadays with neon trickling into everything it is now a fad in the nail polish world. Using this for designs or just plain keeps people focused. (if you talk with your hands)
Any colour can work, I personally like neon orange.
