Mismatched Socks: The Latest Fun Fashion Trend!

Mismatched socks have become a quirky new trend, and thanks to Alycia’s recent shopping spree in Korea, they’ve made their way into our household too! Known for her love of unique styles, Alycia brought home a bunch of trendy finds, including an adorable pair of mismatched socks.

Socks are a bit of an obsession in our family. With all of us being sock lovers, especially when it comes to pairing them with our everyday sneakers or workout shoes, we go through quite a variety. Whether it’s for outings or exercising, socks are a daily must. So, when I pulled Alycia's latest mismatched pair out of the washing machine, my first instinct was to go hunting for their "missing" partners. It didn’t take long for me to realize—these socks were intentionally mismatched. It was pretty cute with prints of cows grazing grass in rolling hills on one side and cow fur print on the other.

The mismatched socks trend brings back that youthful spirit and carefree style. For younger folks, it’s a way to add a bit of fun to their wardrobe, but I think it’s something not anyone can pull off. Imagine an almost 52-year-old mom wearing mismatched socks? Still looking cute? Perhaps what I can try rocking is socks of different colors but with the same design 😜

Fall Outfit Ideas For Ladies

Hi there fashionistas! Now that it's fall, it's time to think of fall fashion. I can't help but get excited for the new outfit ideas and layering opportunities the new season brings. From oversized blazers and modernized outerwear trends to cozy knits and sweater dresses, there is so much to play around with. 

Get inspired by the following autumnal ensembles—to wear while working from home, indulging in virtual Zoom happy hours, or getting out to enjoy weekend wanderings.  Let's have a look at some of the chicest Autumn outfit ideas for ladies to wear this year.

How about grabbing a long sleeve tee with the words "Please Stay 6 Feet Away! Social Distancing 2020" ?  This is a great top to wear while you're out as a reminder to everyone near you to keep a 6-feet distance away from you to keep everyone safe. This is one tee I'd like to get for myself too! Check out more cool tops at prices you'll love at Ninacloak.

What you wear on Halloween does not have to cost you a quarter of your monthly salary. If you’re still trying to figure out your costume, there are so many simple, funny, and just flat-out genius ideas out there that don’t require hundreds of dollars. You can DIY them, shop smart for some good deals, or just get creative with clothes you already have in your closet.  This pumpkin printed yellow long sleeve tee from Ninacloak costs under $20. As long as you put on some Halloween makeup, basic craft supplies, and some extra time, you're good to go for your Trick or Treating!

 

The one clothing piece that never gets out of trend is t-shirt. Whether it’s a printed tee with funny words, graphic tee, plain oversized t-shirt, or body-hugging t-shirt, they have always ruled the trend and are adored by people of all age groups.  This hilarious tee is great for layering and can be worn on its own on hotter days.

This yellow Halloween round neck long sleeve printed sweater is another inexpensive costume for your Halloween party this year. With some creative Halloween makeup and hairdo and DIY props, you're have a blast.

As the air gets crisper, it's time to start thinking about knitwear and trendy sweaters. Whether you're into fitted cardigans, long loose sweater coats like the piece below or oversized crews, finding the perfect fall sweater will be easy thanks to Ninacloak.


The hallmark of fall fashion, sweaters mark the onset of crisp autumn days, and provide a cozy middle ground until coats become mandatory.  From statement-making sweaters to Zoom-ready knits, pick your favorite fall wear at Ninacloak at affordable prices this season.

Harry Potter T-Shirts

I finally found Harry Potter tees for my hardcore Harry Potter devotee, from Cotton On! The tees are selling at RM59 each and RM80 for two. I got her a size XXS, which is still slightly large on her.  Cass loves the tee but loves the Hedwig clothes tag even more. Hedwig is Harry Potter's pet snowy owl. She now wants me to bring the Hedwig tag to the stationery shop to have it laminated so that she could use it as a bookmark when she reads her Harry Potter books 🙄

Have I told you that Cass re-reads all her thick-like-Bible Harry Potter books at least 6 or 7 times? And she plans on re-reading book #1 again (for the 8th time!) when she finishes re-reading all the other books.  That's how much this girl loves the Harry Potter series ðŸ˜µ

Benefits of Wearing Shapewear And Bodysuits

In the most recent years, shapewear and bodysuits have made a large presence all over the world.  These women's essentials have hit the shelves in a myriad of colors, styles, types, patterns, and shapes.  Shapewear and bodysuits can perform wonders to a woman’s bod, including giving her a boost in confidence.

Bodysuits

If you're looking for cheap black bodysuits, FeelinGirls.com have a neat collection to choose from.  These are some of the benefits of wearing bodysuits:

1.  Tucked in. The most obvious advantage of a bodysuit is what they were designed for: they stay tucked in!  There is no need to worry about your blouse or singlet popping out and having to thrust your hand down your skirt or pants to tuck it in place.




2.  Seamless look. Because they stay tucked and attached underneath, they can stay smooth. Even if your tight tank top stayed tucked into your pants or skirt, it can still shift and bunch. A bodysuit has a better chance of staying sleek and snug.

3.  Sexy.  There's something really sexy and sassy about bodysuits. Perhaps it's because they are body-hugging, low cut, smooth or sheer.

4.  Snaps. If you’ve ever worn a romper or pantsuit, you know the inconvenience of having to undress completely in order to use the bathroom.  With a bodysuit, the snaps underneath allow you to unbutton easily to get your deed done.

5.  One piece. A bodysuit is easy to wear because you can wear it as a blouse and underwear in one. This makes it easy for someone to wear something over it – a skirt, jeans, or anything else.

6.  Style. Bodysuits are trending right now, so there are some super stylish options out there, like from FeelinGirls.com

Shapewear

The most obvious and common use for shapewear is a slimmer appearance. Shapewear like a slimming tank top, shapewear legging, butt enhancer panty and waist trainer are designed in a way that helps to eliminate any unwanted bulges or lumps of fat, ideally sucking it all in.



Many women have a hard time losing weight through diet and exercise, so shapewear like high waisted shaping shorts and shaping camis are a way to boost their confidence. Shapewear have been created to help give women a more natural shape, and is an option that could help to a certain degree.



If you’d like to cover up those minor imperfections and give your body a more natural shape, a women’s shapewear or bodysuit added into your closet of arsenal attire might give you just the boost of confidence that you need. Along with a healthy diet, exercise and proper shapewear, you will be on your way to achieving a permanent hour-glass figure 😉

Why Boots Are A Must-Have Item For Women






Boots are always stylish and elegant. A pair of hot looking women's boots can jazz up even the simplest of outfit.  Boots can be paired with various styles of outfits from dresses to pants and skirts and they never fail to to make a woman look oh so chic.

A short skirt deserves a pair of statement ankle boots to go with it. A maxi dress can have a major impact with the right bootie peeping out from beneath the fabric - you can consider a black buckle slip-on ankle bootie, like the one pictured below from NewChic, for a sleek, cool-girl vibe.





Ankle boots look great with dress pants, cropped trousers as they do with denim, so step outside of your comfort zone and give one of these outfits a whirl on a pair of cool ankle booties.




Dress pants don't have to be boring anymore when you tuck them into ankle boots for an ultra stylish look that works just as well during the week as it does on the weekend!

Yes, black boots, ankle boots and booties work with everything but sometimes it is good to jump out of your comfort zone.  Try suede leopard print, ink print, floral retro heel or retro ankle boots to give everything you wear a leg up. You won't regret it!

Winter is arriving soon. Be prepared for whatever storm the next season brings and get your feet in some quality footwear that can weather all the weather. Boots have been a sure bet in winter.  The above video features some chic winter retro boots from NewChic that are sure to level up your fashion this winter.

The Guide To Choosing The Perfect Prom Dress

Prom night is the most important dance of high school senior year. The night revolves around having a date. Most teens would rather avoid the prom altogether than arrive without a date. On prom night, the girls spend hours getting dressed and dolling up together. The guys hang out a while, and then get dressed at the last minute. Formal dress is still in, with the girls wearing gowns 👗 and the boys wearing tuxedos. When the boy arrives at the girl’s home, he is likely to be greeted by proud parents wielding a camera 📷

As the prom night is such an important night in a teenage girl's life, finding the perfect prom dress is such a big hoo-ha.  Every girl wants to look her best in a jaw-dropping, flattering prom dress and be treated like a queen.  Get started early and follow this guide to be the belle of the ball:

1. Plan In Advance
It takes time to do your research and choose the perfect gown. Plan to make a choice and your purchase about four to six weeks (or even earlier) before your prom night. You may need alterations on a dress and purchasing it in advance gives you ample time for you to have the alterations done.  Decide if you'd like to purchase the gown online, from a boutique, bridal shop or tailor-make it.

2. Do Your Research
Take cues from what you saw on the red carpet, catwalk, magazines, and what you are seeing in the stores now to find some of the most sought after styles of the season.

Start out searching for your perfect dress by flipping through magazines and online to see what kind of dress you are most attracted to.  Just key in prom dresses image and thousands of prom dresses will pop up on your screen. This allows you to see what you like and dislike about the current season’s different dress types. Start this process about three to four months before your prom date.

Some girls order their prom dress and accessories fully online. Others use the Internet for research, narrowing down styles and price ranges online before venturing out to brick and mortar stores. However you utilize it, the Internet is a powerful shopping resource.

This would be amazing for the gala! Possibly in black or green too

3. Plan Your Budget And Stick To It
One of the worst feelings in the world is trying on a beautiful dress and then finding out that the price is way out of your budget. So before you even begin to look, let the salesperson know what your budget is, and if you’re doing your shopping online, filter the results so you can only see the dresses you can afford. One place to get affordable prom dresses is Dressywomen.com

5. Match The Dress Style To Your Face and Body Shape
Finding out what your face and body shapes are will help you to match these to the ideal dress, one that flatters and accentuates all of your good features, hiding anything you might consider a flaw.

6.  Decide The Style That You Want
Once you have done your research and decided the style that you want, narrow down the search to save time.  It could be two piece prom dresses, mermaid prom dresses, long prom dress or short prom dresses.

7. Know the School Rules 
Many schools have instituted prom night dress codes. Strapless styles, spaghetti straps, plunging necklines or other sexy details may not be permitted. Additionally, the school may institute a theme for prom night and request that students’ outfits reflect the theme. Be sure that you fully understand all of the school rules and guidelines before you begin shopping.

Now that you have the tips to find your perfect prom dress, it’s time to get started. Remember to look for a great fit, a beautiful color that plays up your best features, a dress with embellishments if you want that extra special quality, and remember to go for a dress that you feel your best in!
