The Touch of Brooch

Hello peeps, please forgive me for my back-dated blog. I have a bad cough. I have been suffering for almost 3 weeks. Eeew, it's so disturbing. I went to doctor already trust me, but well, it didn't work. And now, i decide to let my body cure it itself. I just eat and sleep regularly. I just want this cough go away. I don't ask to much, do i??

Anyway, back to my back-dated blog. I want to share about Brooch in today post. Brooch? Why brooch? Well, the idea of putting the brooch in my blog actually already popped since early of this month, and again, i'll blame the cough for my lateness. Lol..

Brooch Fashion Week Fall 2009

Brooch is very classic. I remembered i had many brooches collections when i was little. My favourite one was the brooch with hat shape. It was so cute. I used to wear it to pin my handkerchief on my kindergarten uniform. He3x.. Did i just mention kindergarten? Oh yeah i just did. I know that you all now may imagine about me when i was little. One thing for sure, I was innocent and sweet. Like i am now. Lol..

Ok ok ok, i was diverted a bit. Let's back to the track. A brooch could cheer up your outfit. If you have many black or dark colored tops why don't you keep some brooches just for change your look?

Yay, I love this brooch, so chic

As a Gossip Girl addict, i notice that there were many scenes using brooches for outfit addition. Well, never doubt the power that a brooch has. It can glam up your look instantly. Hmm, for formal occasions usually call for a simpler kind, maybe with a little bling on it. You can also put your brooch set at the waist of your gown. It'll add sparkle and also attention surely.

For going out on a Saturday night, why don't you use big, bold or fun shapes. Just have fun with your brooch collection. You can also wear broaches on the center of the collar of your favorite blouse. You can attach to a hat to add something special. Or as the most common way, you can wear it over the right or left side of the chest .

If you just have a little time to get dressed, maybe you wake up late or something, you could simply twist your hair and just pin a beautiful brooch onto a headband. That way, you have two pieces that you can use separately as well as together. So, what are you waiting now then? Go check your brooch collection and if you don't even have any, let's start to look out for pretty brooch out there. Happy hunting!!

Which one do you like? I heart the peacock..

Belt, your nu fashion statement

Belt is a fashion accessory any woman can wear. The belt is something you can use to accentuate the line of your hip. Even if you are a bit on the large side, don’t shy away from wearing a belt. The right style belt can give you a waist, prevent you from looking larger than you are. Nothing looks more seductive than wearing a body-clinging dress and accentuating your hips with a colorful belt.

Belt can make one dress into several different outfits. So, you can either have a casual look or a formal look all with just a simple belt tied around your hip. Belt also can be assessorized with your jewelry, purse and shoes. Just take a look at the picture below. That black dress is cute though, but if you add sexy red belt and put red pump shoes in your legs, voila, surely your look not only gorgeous but upgrade into super-oomph, what a statement piece!



There isn't denial that for this season the silhouette is key and no wonder the belt is essential. Narrow or wide, it is all about structure and defining the waist. But remember, don't put accessories too much if you're already put belt as your fashion statement, cuz if you are not careful, wearing competing accessories will have the effect of making you look like a disco ball.
