Fashion / Style surgery: How to INJECT new colors into your wardrobe and style it like a pro.







Although it is a fabulous idea to wear hues that we love, it is also a good idea to be aware of what fits the season, and our skin tone. the beauty of color is that it allows us to construct an illusion, ideas, and personality.


The concept of a capsule wardrobe is to be able to combine all of our limited amount of clothing pieces together and fit them, so it makes sense to start with neutral looks. however, over the years, I have shared some ideas on how to inject a pop of color and  make your wardrobe capsule more fun and effortless

Get Started with a colorful arm candy or purse . It really pops a monochromatic dress and adds life. Go for a color that is in harmony with your inner vibration and that suits your current wardrobe
Wear colorful accessories.  A statement necklace or earrings might be a great way to express your style. Do not be afraid to spruce up your look by adding some color. A bright belt or scarf is also a fun way to put in some color.

The color injection will be fun and simple if you do one step at a time.

Exfoliating your skin

If you have oil, dry skin or even combination skin, not exfoliating will cause accumulation of dead skin cells. ... You create a cleaner surface by sloughing off dead skin, to which the makeup will adhere, allowing for a more even, seamless effect and longer wear.

Hydrate the Skin

Moisturizer smoothes the surface of the skin and can also enable makeup to remain on for longer. moreover,  beneath makeup hydrating skin can help the skin look less dull. Using foundations on dry skin will make your makeup not look even.

Jean-Paul Gaultier is going out with a bang. 
On Thursday, celebrities, designers, and influencers galore gathered at
the famous Theatre Du Chatelet in Paris to witness a show they
 won't soon forget. The crowds watched in awe as Bella Hadid,
 Gigi HadidDita Von TeeseParis Jackson, and
 so many more famous models strut across the catwalk
in outrageous, beautiful ensembles designed by none other
 than Jean-Paul Gaultier himself.
But this show wasn't unforgettable for it's a star-studded rotation
of models or for having Boy George performing—that's par for
the course. It's an unforgettable show because this marks the
end of Jean-Paul's reign as the King of Haute Couture.
After 50 years in the fashion industry, the renowned designer
made his final bow. 
On Jan. 17, the 67-year-old revealed via social media,
"This show celebrating 50 years of my career will also be
my last. But rest assured Haute Couture will continue with a
new concept."


According to The Guardian, his exit from haute couture doesn't
 mean he's hanging up his scissors anytime soon, instead, 
he's going to shift his focus to his "high-end fashion and perfume
 business."
Nonetheless, his presence at the couture shows will be missed.
 After all, he's the designer who created Madonna's iconic cone bra
 and so many more historic looks.

 artist's final couture show, check out the gallery below!

Motivational monday: It takes a person who is wide-awake to make his dream come true. Roger Ward Babson


Set goals with deadlines, without which your dreams will be like a broken bone that cannot fly. Intense goal orientation is the characteristics of successful people, they have a goal and they know how to get there. This is because they set goals in every area of their life. Your ability to set goals and make plans for your accomplishment is the skill required to succeed.
Goal setting is a formal process for personal planning. By setting goals on a routine basis you decide what you want to achieve, and then move step-by-step towards the achievement of these goals. The process of setting goals and targets allows you to choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know what you have to concentrate on to do it. You also know what merely a distraction is.
