Two’s A Trend: Twinning With Your Friends In 2018

Individuality in style has been a concept I’ve grown accustomed to making twinning a foreign notion which evokes precisely, synchronised formations and a built-in herding instinct. However as the years go by, the energy to rebel against the status quo as someone unique has dwindled due to sheer laziness and maturity to accept that a highly co-ordinated outfit with your friends doesn’t mean you’re losing your individuality. Instead, it creates a symbol of a solidified status of friendship with a good friend.

Thus embracing the modern-day twinning with friends that understand the importance of career, clothes, compliments and dare I say cocks. Before we head off to the shopping centre to bag ourselves matchy-matchy looks for this year with a caption on social media that includes the hashtags #Twinning, and #Twosatrend, you need to consider who to twin with and which personal style that similar to yours would complement the pair of you. After all, you want to avoid committing the fashion faux pas of friendship-twinning.

So I’m going to provide tips on ways to embrace the similitude of the looks without leaving your innate characteristics when twinning with your favourite gal pal. You want your pairing to scream fashion phenomenal rather than tacky and childish.

Details Details Details
To give off the vibe that’s cute without crossing the boundaries to tacky and over the top, it’s always best to incorporate subtle accessories into your outfits. No, I don’t mean having friendship bracelets that have inscribed Besties For Life, as a similar pair of sunglasses, earrings and choker could do the trick. Sometimes opting for the same shoes for a night out is always a nice touch.

Colour Theme
The beautiful aspect of colours is the ability to help harmonise and marry outfits together. To pull off the perfect twinning worth Instagramming require shared colour shades from the same hue to ensure outfits that complement each other rather than clashing.

What’s that Scent
We all know the perfect way to complete an outfit is by putting on your signature perfume that reflects your personality and characteristics, and your friend embodies that aspect of you. So having signature perfumes you and your friend use solidify and give an aura of an unbreakable bond.

One of the aspects of curating a perfected shoe wardrobe is how difficult it is finding shoes that pair well with our wardrobe all seasons. Each season, the whirlwind options that the stores offer with unimaginable, quirky iterations mixed of unrivalled aesthetics makes the buying decision difficult. That’s a feeling shared by not only myself but you. It’s hard to risk hard earned money on shoes that’s worn once and left in the wardrobe gathering dust for years.

You also have to think about the climate changes and the current state in which trends are pitch against personal style. The key is knowing when to interlace your style, avoiding marketing ploy from looking into the direction that deters our goals to perfected shoe wardrobe. In this post, I will imbue shoes with the price point ranging from high street to premium that will resonate with the seasons to come.

The days of suffering in the name of fashion are over.

The perfect antidote to the blacks and white that has turned up in my wardrobe this year in a range of styles and silhouettes. Showing the versatility a beautifully crafted shoe made in Italy can be polished, and at times naughty. While on holiday in Portugal and Paris last year, Floretini + Baker became the go-to shoes for creating the Off Duty Chic look for commuting through the Airports, adventures to the beach, streets of Paris and Disneyland. Considering the longevity and quality of the sandals, the price point so worth it, and rightly so. I can foresee myself wearing these shoes for years to come.

This Fall and Winter season is without a boot that can be convertible as a thigh-high boot, putting a spell on your shoe collection. Since purchasing this all-occasion style of boots, I’ve paired them with ribbed sweater dresses, denim and everything in between. The classic boot heels go the distance, adding comfortability no matter the season.

The days of suffering in the name of fashion are over. Even an all glam girl with a fabulous shoe collection often need a breather while running errands, or have a busy schedule. No matter your lifestyle, injecting trainers into your shoe collection is a must. As my style evolves, the rules of not wearing trainers to the special occasions have kicked out the window. From the demure to the decedent, this seasons selection of trainers, sneakers, are packed with enough personality to elevate an outfit without needing the lift of a heel.

What are your thoughts? Are you looking to add these fabulous shoes to your wardrobe? Do you have any suggestion, your comments are welcomed! So make yourself at home.

Play It By The Cuff With Swarovski

On the evening I received this stunning bracelet, I showcased it on my social media, without revealing the content. I’ve always been an accessories person. If you know me, you will know I am often wearing simple pieces, apart from bracelets. Over the years, I’ve bought gorgeous bracelets, which doesn’t end up seeing the light of the day, because of my incredibly small wrist. However, I’ve always wanted bracelets that would fit, and I would often hunt for them.

Swarovski is a brand that I feel exudes luxury, class and elegance. It’s never over the top but adds a statement to your outfit. On this particular day, The Communication Store showcased the SS17 collection of the brands they represent. After browsing through the other brands, I walked into Swarvoski section.

There, I met a lovely woman, that showed me their SS17 collection, which I love. The collection drew inspiration from Paris scenery; Eiffel Tower, the Lock bridge and much more. The pieces are beautifully crafted, adding an array of the seasonal colours and brilliantly cut, making each piece perfect for the everyday woman. Honestly, their pieces are jaw-dropping, and I’ve got my eyes on a couple of them. After our conversation, the woman gifted me a box, which caught me by surprised, but I was excited nonetheless. Eager to see what was in my box, I opened it while I was waiting for my train, and it completely made my day.
