Natural Luminosity

 (Sugar Kissed bib necklace, vintage top, Eazy Fashion bangles, Hermes bag, The Closet Goddess skirt, Marni shoes)

This is the last look for the Stylista x Pantene campaign we did with Alex Carbonell. Like they say, save the best for last- this is my favorite look out of all four! This look from the F/W trend report is called Natural Luminosity- wherein the hair look is inspired by nature. Influenced by some of the textural finishes of the collection and in particular the grain of wood, you'll see lovely strokes and strands all curled up for the finished touch.  Because the look was inspired by nature, I decided to choose touches of brown like this necklace and bag. Since my hair is teased and tied, I made the look more classy by wearing an off shoulder dress turned top paired with this lovely peplum skirt from The Closet Goddess. The skirt definitely made the look more sophisticated and made the entire look work altogether. Very corporate, classy and chic.
You hair needs natural volume to execute this type of look- and the tricky part is it's supposed to be shiny and manageable still. You need a light shampoo and conditioner tandem to attain this. To achieve a look inspired by nature only means using products that are also inspired by nature: Pantene Nature Care Series. They help your hair bring out its natural feel- healthy and shiny. Check out my behind the scene shots and how Alex Carbonell achieved this look. I always love how smooth my hair is after a certain look- even if they remove all the pins and bands. So sad this is the last look I'll be sharing to you guys- hopefully there's more to come! BMS.

Clashing Prints

(Jhajing earrings/ring, Miss Sartorial detachable collar, H&M top, Chanel bag, vintage leggings, Marni heels)

When people wear detachable collars, it's usually paired with round neck tops- I choose to wear loose tanks, so that they can really stand out. For this look, I'm sure you've noticed that I wore clashing prints all over- this actually wasn't planned. I've had these leggings for years now and I've been dying to wear them with a Gucci-inspired sailor loose top (but I haven't found the perfect one yet) so I just worked with what I have in my closet and found this neon top that's perfect for our weather nowadays- striking hot. If you check the pictures again, you'll notice it's a bikini I'm actually wearing inside my tank. Yes, why not try mixing printed bikini tops with your everyday outfit? Give it a shot. BMS.
