quote of the day.

STYLE NOTE: Dressing professionally can help form a positive impression to people you meet in the workplace.

• Being able to portray a positive image of yourself is essential to your career success. A person's appearance, communication style, and body language all play a role in creating an image of them in others' minds. A professional look can help you command respect and attention at work. 

Wearing professional clothing and accessories refers to dressing for the workplace. Typically, professional attire is modest, elegant, well-tailored, and without graphics or images. Clothes should be cleaned, ironed, and free of holes, rips, and stains. Dressing professionally varies with the formality of the work environment. 

Kaia Gerber ruled the runway once again as she attended Valentino's SS19 show during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week

The daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford took things up a notch in the beauty department as she decorated her lash line in nude-toned feathers, which served as a striking contrast to her dramatic dark eyeliner look.

Kaia toned down her slightly with her raven tresses, which was slicked back into a sleek bun. more photos after the jump

“Elegance is a glowing inner peace. Grace is an ability to give as well as to receive and be thankful. Mystery is a hidden laugh always ready to surface! Glamour only radiates if there is a sublime courage & bravery within: glamour is like the moon; it only shines because the sun is there.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.”

FABULOUS INTERIOR DECOR IDEAS FOR INSTANT GLAMOUR.

The first step toward making our space look good can be to get rid of junk. More than we might think, the appearance of our home affects our life in many ways. It impacts our happiness, our self-confidence, and our mental health. Decorating can be stressful and costly, which is why some people do not do it.

 Making small changes to the colours and layout of our décor can bring positive feelings to our space.

A bare wall might evoke feelings of loneliness, while a mirror on our wall can give the room a sense of spaciousness. If we have too many decorations, our home can appear cluttered, and this can be anxiety-inducing. When we decide to redecorate our home and start choosing home décor items, we will find that we might need to get rid of quite a bit of unnecessary junk, not just to make room but also to help our home look and feel more beautiful. Adding colour to our home will add excitement and promote a positive atmosphere. below are tips you might like.

Why having good sleep is important for health.

image credit to the original source

Lack of sleep can have numerous effects, such as feeling grumpy and not working at your best. You may not know it, but lack of sleep has a profound impact on your physical health as well? Poor sleep might affect us, with stress, computers, and taking work home  often to blame.

Sleepless nights come at a price, however, that goes beyond poor moods and a lack of focus. The lack of sleep you experience regularly puts you at risk for serious medical conditions, including obesity, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. In order to live a long and healthy life, it is essential to get a good night's sleep.

The bedroom setting is crucial to getting a good night's sleep. As part of sleep hygiene, establishing an environment conducive to falling asleep and staying asleep is important, which can ensure quality rest night after night. Visual design and practical setup, including lighting, sound, and smell, are all essential in creating a relaxing atmosphere for sleep. Your ideal sleep space can be cultivated if you take into consideration these elements.

Getting proper support and comfort from your mattress will keep your spine in alignment and prevent pressure points from getting aggravated. this might prevent waking up with a cracking sound in your neck the following day. 

For your body to feel comfortable, the perfect mattress should provide enough cushion and softness. Several factors can affect sleep quality, including weight, sleeping style, and position.

My thought of the day: “Gratitude will shift you to a higher frequency, and you will attract much better things.” – Rhonda Byrne

Style Note : “Dressing for success is not only wearing something well but making sure it is appropriate for the environment.

“Do you feel at ease in your own skin, smart, confident, or powerful in your clothes?” our outfit reflects our personality and demonstrates our professionalism in both career and life. A further explanation why dressing appropriately for work is crucial is that you want to be seen as a professional than someone who just dresses in sportswear. As a result, it's critical that you dress appropriately for the event. When someone does not take pride in their looks, it is difficult to take them seriously.

Colors have a significant influence on our daily lives. They have an effect on how we think, how we make decisions, and how we feel. Colors have more force than we realize, from generating changes to affecting reactions. They can be utilized as both goods or bad, according to our beliefs. However, we all have the  capacity to accept some hues while rejecting others.“One of the most significant and distinguishing aspects of boosting your image is color. Wearing colors that complement your demeanor, attitude, skin color, hair color, and body shape will make you look younger, more lively, and friendly.”

“The very first thing others observe about you is your true self, not your credentials, background, or accomplishments. An image is worth a thousand words, and the way you show yourself is the “picture” you present to the rest of the world.”

It's not all about wearing designer labels or wearing clothes that express your individuality; it's about feeling confident about yourself and wearing the clothes that express your personal style."Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you." -- Ralph Lauren

Every good book opens up new dimensions of thoughts for the reader. ...What book are you reading at the moment?

Lately, I have found reading during my free time quite interesting. This is because a very good book can enable us to expand our horizons and enhances our creativity.

Reading helps the reader to build his or her curiosity, allowing them to imagine and explore in dimensions they could not have been able to do before.  it can enable one to think outside the box. Furthermore, another importance of reading is that it enables us to tap into new knowledge and also gives us skills of problem-solving. When an individual is uninspired, reading can be a source of motivation. reading a good book that makes an impact is like recharging our battery and channeling stress into positive energy.

I am currently reading full speed ahead by Joyce Weiss. CSP.

let me know what book you are reading. I will see you in the next post. Thanks for reading my blog and do have a fabulous weekend

I never knew I was holding my wine glass the wrong way until I read this.

Guys, the importance of good etiquette should not be overlooked. imagine dressing up well and going for a dinner date or dinner night and you end up holding your wine glass the wrong way. should that really bother you? The experts have outlined how we should hold our wine glass. Let's read along. It's better to hold a glass of wine by the stem or the base of the glass when drinking it. Smudging is avoided by holding a glass by the stem, which also keeps the bulb clean. Keeping the bulb clean /  fingerprint-free allows you to assess the wine's color more accurately and understand more about it before tasting it.

Another reason the glass has a stem is that swirling your wine is convenient when you hold the stem rather than the goblet. The swirling movement keeps churning the fluid as it moves around the bulb, drawing oxygen from the air and has the ability to open the wine up, allowing the aromas to be released easily.

STYLE NOTE: Wardrobe essentials to help level up your personal style

STYLE TALK

Hiya ladies, today let's talk about three wardrobe essentials to help level up your personal style.

let me know what wardrobe essentials you can’t do without. see you in the comment section.

Denim is one of the few wardrobe staples that flatters my body type. most times,  I seek to find the ideal pair of jeans and once I do, I  stock them up in every color and style. Trousers can be replaced with jeans. When coupled with a blazer and shirt, well-tailored-fit jeans can be a wonderful outfit for the office or any other occasion. Styling a pair of jeans perfectly will make you look not only effortlessly stylish but also sophisticated.

Blazers have long been a mainstay in women's wardrobes. It is one of the most adaptable items of clothing anybody can own; a blazer can instantly spruce up an outfit while also making you look relaxed while still maintaining that trendy look.

The blazer can be worn with a variety of various fashion items and pieces of clothes that most people would consider conventional pieces of clothing. 'Wearing a blazer in a nude hue is a daring choice that gives the impression of "richness" due to the lightness of the tone. When executed correctly, it gives you a striking appearance. not having a pair of nude blazers is a sin in ifeoma's book of  style lol..... *winks*

nude heels are fabulous. “The nude collection is devoted to people who aspire to have fantastic legs, to have a great silhouette,” Louboutin says, according to the Huffington Post. Nude pumps are very classier and they can make any outfit look super expensive. I believe that finding the right shade of nude is crucial to have a functional wardrobe. whatcha think?

Wardrobe Essentials: A timeless wardrobe with basic essentials will infinitely make everyday dressing easier

               

BLACK TROUSERS

you can go for the black cigarette pencil trousers, they are perfect with a pair of heels. pumps and flats

KNEE-LENGTH BLACK SKIRT

 WHITE BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT
