Little Black Dress.

We've all heard the rule: "Every woman should have a little black dress", and it's true. LBD's have so many purposes. A day at the office, school or socialising with friends can almost always turn into a festering feeling of you not knowing what to wear. Which is where the LBD comes in. It may seem that your dress is a little too dressy, but there are ways to dress it down without the dress losing too much value or drawing un-needed attention, (apart from the fact you'll look sexy).
If you haven't already got a blazer in your wardrobe, get one. They're cheap and easily adaptable to dress up or down an outfit. Another alternative, is the oversized t-shirt on top, with a few buttons done up, a waist belt and whether it's work or just a casual day out cute black flats, heels, or knee high boots and you're done! Here's an example.

Put this small ensemble together and you'll have an outfit ready for whatever situation or place you're heading off to. In the colder season you can add tights to it and some boots. People think that because things cost more, they're better, product wise. In some cases they can be right, but more than likely no better than your average store in Westfields, or a boutique store that's not heard of. You'll be surprised once you look past the name of it. We buy with our eyes, but pay with our wallets.

Red lippy, with love.

Everyone has their yuck days, and that's understandable considering we don't all have professional make up and hair teams on standby as we wake up. In reality we stumble out of bed, either from lack of sleep or being hungover, we make our way to the bathroom, wash our face and put the kettle on. Our rooms end up trashed from having 'nothing to wear', obviously, and find something suitable before being late.
There are people around the world that have no fashion sense, and lucky for them, there are no real 'Fashion Police.'

You don't have to spend a fortune on clothes, jewelry and hair accessories to look good, most of the high-end fashion trends are translated into 'everyday people' spending money.  It's easier to look good then bad these days, even mismatched prints are 'in' now (some I don't agree with), so it's almost impossible to look like shit, though some people still seem to succeed. We live in a superficial world, we base everything from what we see, so it's important to look good.
So next time you've slept through your alarm, twice and have fifteen minutes to get changed and do your make up, before heading out the door. Grab your red lippy from the bottom of your makeup bag, put it on and bam! You're ready to go from shit to chic.

Why red you ask? The colour has symbolism for passion, fire, sex, power and everything with strong emotions. It's something every girl should have. Dare to stand out.
