How to look taller

Hi everyone,

I am sure that many of you have wished that you are that 5-10cm taller than you really are. Well, I feel you! Today, I am gonna share with you a few tips and trick to dress taller.

First of all, there is no one fix standard that you need to be X cm tall but sometimes, when you are taller, you do look slimmer and more grand. So, I guess there is no crime in using some of these tips and trip :D

There is one thing in common that you can achieve if you apply the tips below, that is: find a way to make your legs look longer! So, if you want to find our how, please keep reading.

1. Wear nude heels

The reason why nude heels can help you to look taller is because it visually elongates your legs, creating an illusion that your legs are longer than they are. This tricks also work if you wear black pants + black heels. Basically wear the same shoe color as your pants or if you wear dress like I do, try nude color.

You can also wear the same color from top to bottom. This will also creates an illusion of longer body, hence you automatically look taller :)

2. Vertical Stripes

Vertical stripes will also trick the eyes and make you look leaner and longer. It is quite a bold pattern so it will draw the eyes' attention and create an illusion of slimmer and taller figures. The bonus part is that it is super in this season, so go and grab yours!

3. Crop tops and high waisted bottom

Another way to appear taller is to wear crop tops and high waisted bottom. This combination will make your leg appears longer as it tricks the eyes into thinking that your waist started higher. Pair it with nude heels to complete the look and you will look awesome already ;)

4. Flare pants

Flare pants are great in making you look taller as it flows throughout your leg. Unlike shorts or capri pants which could "cut" your leg, flare pants gives continuous shape to your legs, tricking the eyes into thinking that the area is longer. If you want to take it to the next level, get a flare pants that is slightly longer than your legs and pair it with a high heels. The pants will hide the heels and creating even stronger illusion of longer legs.

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a blessed Sunday :)

What to Wear on Hot Day

Hi everyone,

I don't know about you but I have been feeling HOT all year this year. I think the global warming has finally hit me now. Living in a hot and humid weather all my life, I think I can pretty much relate to all my friends who told me that they can't be bother to dress up as it is too hot to even look cute!

So, I put together three of my fave outfit types to wear when you are feeling so hot and don't even want to think on what to wear yet you still wanna look somewhat cute.

1. Maxi Dress

Maxi Dress: Treslovechic

Maxi dress is definitely my favourite outfit to throw on when the weather is too hot. Well, preferably, a cotton maxi dress that is light, airy and loose. The reason why I love maxi dress so much is that it is very breathable and it is actually a lot more comfier than wearing jeans or shorts as you can pretty much cross your legs, squat or anything you want. Therefore, maxi dress also makes my favourite travel outfit.

The bonus is that you will still look super cute while in reality you just throw on a piece of fabric and go out the door <3

2. Loose, Flowy Dress

Dress: Ohvola

Still keeping with the throw one piece of fabric theme, loose dress is another type of my favourite outfit to wear when the weather is very hot. I think choosing light fabric is very important. I would say to stay away from heavy neoprene fabric and stick to polyester or cotton.

If you want to go with the tropical weather, wearing floral headband is a cute way to do so <3

3. T-Shirt and Shorts

Weather you just really can't be bother to wear a dress or you prefer to wear t-shirt in general, it is totally fine. One tip for when working with such a simple outfit is that to balance out the accessories.
Here, I am wearing an edgy studded-structure bag and a very tall nude platform heels. Remember, opposite attract! Balance out a casual, relax outfit with a glamorous and edgy accessory to take your look to the next level. The bonus point? It is still very cool and comfy.
So I hope this inspires you to dress up a lil when the weather is super hot like now.

Thank you for reading <3

70's Fashion Trend: How to wear

Hi Everyone,

Fashion trend always recycles itself every time and in 2015, the 1970's style is absolutely all the rage. So what is 70's fashion trend anyway? In contrast to the demure and glamorous style in the 60's, people started wearing more and more casual clothes in the 70's. Some of the most prominent trend which is iconic to this decade is the bohemian trend and the loose silhouette. This trend is perfect for people who live in super hot climate like I do as all the pieces are easy and breezy to wear.

In this post, I incorporated some of the 70's inspired trend with modern pieces to give it a more wearable and up-to-date look.

1. The Bohemian: Loose Dress and Earthy Tone Accessories 

Loose Dress is one of the most popular pieces from the 70's. Top it off with a gladiator sandal which is also inspired by the Romans in the 70's.

When creating a bohemian style, accessorizing is key. Here, I added a boat hat and statement earring to complete the boho chic style :)

2. The Retro Floral
In the 70's, floral print is already very popular. However, the earthy toned color one is probably one of the most popular color during the decade.

Here, I am wearing an off-shoulder dress with a retro floral print. The neutral color of the dress and the gladiator sandal are totally inspired by the 70's. However, I added a pop of red from my bag to balance our this retro look, making it look more modern.

3. Wide Leg Trouser
Still keeping with the comfortable theme of the 70's trend, the wide leg trouser is also very iconic to the decade.

The statement piece of my outfit is totally this wide leg trouser from The Editor's Market. This piece is so bold and will visually elongated the leg, making me appear super tall. I paired it with a white heels to give the illusion of even longer leg :D

4. The Crochet and Lace
Lace is a fabric that was first popularized in the 70's. Back then, having tan skin was totally a thing and beauty was associated with having healthy glow and beach holiday. That said, crochet and lace fabric were worn by many models and celebrities in the era as it is directly associated with the beach wear.

 I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do. And have a great week ahead.

Stay chic,

Esther
