I selected for you 17 Fashion trends you wouldn't wanna miss this Winter! These are my personal picks.

If you won't have them all in grip at least ensure your possession of few of them in your closet.

Have fun reading and selecting your own favourites.

Love,

1. Sweet Sixties

Mini-skirts, Trapeze dresses, graphics and pastel colours paid tribute to the baby doll style, presenting a fresh, carefree take on the swinging sixties trend.

2. All over knits

 

One of the most prominent trends for winter was the comfortingly soft, full look in wool, as seen at Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and Celine. This trend works best in neutral tones.

3. Eccentric Furs

Reinterpreted At Alexander McQueen, Fendi Roberto Cavalli, Chloe and Versace, this indispensable winter classic became extraordinary: wild influences, patchwork effect and flashes of vibrant red updated the rules of the classic and eternal fur coat.

4. XXL coats

 

An eternal classic, the 3/4 length coat cut a longer length this season. the men's overcoat seen at Dior took on a feminine look at Celine with elegant white buttons and a defined waist, while Lanvin made the piece sing in a full black look.

5. Night birds

 

The couture touch of ostrich feathers graced ready-to-wear runways this season. Soft and light, the plumes added a touch of refined elegance to each silhouette, floating breezily down the runway, as light as the wings of a bird.

6. Sportswear

 

From Fendi to Miu Miu, the athletic esthetic continued to inspire designers this season, seen both in fleece and mesh fabrics in a red, blue and black palette, each item brought a cool, dynamic sportswear vibe to the runway.

My summer scent Calyx 2014

Hi everyone,

So here I am again... doing one of the things I love the most writing to you :)

Today I want to tell you about my experience with a new fragrance. Though I have my classical scents (Pleasures & Coco Mademoiselle) I am a kind of person who likes change specially for my perfumes. So I pick a new scent every season and I wear it.

This summer, I bumped into Calyx by Clinique. I got a sample of it and thought to give it a try! Many of you might know the old version of it and might say it was much better. I on the other hand didn't know the old one so I am a virgin tester here :)

So I put it on and it started attracting me. I loved how fresh, clean and crispy it is. At the same time it had its own kind of warmth and character.

Next morning when I woke up .. first thing I smelled was that fainting reminders of something sweet and tender to my nose :) I tried to think what this could be.... till I realised it was the perfume I tried the day before! Since then I was officially in Love :) And of course the decision was made Calyx is my scent for this summer.

I must say the perfume isn't so long lasting yet who would want a heavy perfume for the hot summer days?!! what I personally need in summer time is to smell fresh and unique! That is exactly how I feel wearing Calyx!

For those of you who are like me .. I highly recommend you to try it! Put it on your skin give it a shot for few days and see! If it works its magic on your skin like it did on mine then I am sure it will be your mate too this summer!

Enjoy it girls.

Love,
Rania
