Work Wardrobe

How do some women do it? They always look amazing at work. So fashionable, yet simple, while the rest of their wardrobe looks just as amazing. Seems impossible to get that look down. You’re struggling with your own work wardrobe, let alone the rest of your wardrobe. What’s a girl to do? Here’s one thing you can do: create a work uniform. No, I’m not talking plaid skirts and white blouses. I’m talking about getting a few different outfits and accessories down together for a fashionable work wardrobe that’s easy and simple to create. Check out my helpful tips below.

Choose A Color Palette- See? I told you this wasn’t your everyday uniform. Pick out a color palette that works best with the city’s climate that you work in. For example, business folks in Miami probably wear more colorful looks to work, while New Yorkers are prone to darker styles. Two to four colors should be enough.

Find 5 Shirts For The Week- Pick out five different shirts within your color palette. Choose enough for the workweek, maybe get a sixth one just in case.

Add The Rest Of Your Look- Add some extras, like pencil skirts and slacks. I would say that 5 bottoms should be enough. Get two dresses you can easily accessorize and two jackets, plus some shoes to match. You’re work uniform is almost complete!

Shoes, Purses and Accessories- Pick up some flats and kitten heels to match your color palette. Next, get two big purses to fit any papers that need to travel. After that, pick out your favorite work appropriate accessories and you’ve got up to 30 outfits that are perfect for work and sure to amazing your coworkers!

Pastel Coats to Get You Through The Freeze

Wintertime can get a little bit dreary, so why not spruce up your outfit with a pastel coat? Although the colors are associated with summer and spring, they can be utilized for winter as well. Get a cheery outfit simply by following these tips on how to wear pastel coats.

Go Monochromatic

if you have pieces that complement the color of your pastel coat, then go crazy with it! Do remember to add a pop of color though with the use of your shoes or your purse.

Work it Out

Even with its delicate hue, a pastel coat can be worn to work as well. What’s important is you wear it with office essentials. A silk blouse, skinny trousers and pointy-toe pumps – such as the attire below – will surely make you the office doll.

Go Dark

A pastel coat is at the light side of the color spectrum – so it is best worn with dark-colored pieces. Items in black, brown and navy blue are safe bets, although you can go with dark green and violet as well.

Fall Jackets Styling

Jackets are one of the things you shouldn’t be without during fall. This piece can add warmth and comfort to your look while you’re out in the cold and it adds to the style and gorgeousness of your overall look, too! With so many jacket styles to pick from, it’s so easy to be overwhelmed – something that you wouldn’t want to feel when you’re on a budget. If you’re looking for jackets worth spending on and adding to your fall wardrobe, check out these jackets to wear with your street style fall look.

• Denim jacket – denim jackets will always be on the list of must have jackets not just for fall but all year round because it’s chic and versatile at the same time. Wear a denim jacket anytime you want to dress down a rather fancy piece. You can also wear it on days when you just want something simple and classic. Denim jackets are great for layering, too! They’re not too warm yet won’t leave you freezing out in the cold.

Leather jacket – a leather jacket is a classic that, in my opinion, every woman should have. If you love the posh, chic and sleek look, you should definitely own a leather jacket and have it in your closet ready at all times. A leather jacket can give you a really cool and edgy kickass look when worn with pieces in black or leather but you can also get a sweet and sexy look with it when worn with more girly pieces. -

Embellished jacket – too tired to put together a cute outfit? Even the most basic, plain outfit would be a head turner when topped off with a cute embellished jacket. If you’re on a tight budget, you can DIY your own using a few craft supplies and an old jacket of your choice. This is sure to take your fall street style game up a notch instantly. 

Cropped jacket – if you need something to add a bit more structure into your look, go for a cropped jacket. Cropped jackets are also great for emphasizing the curves on your hips since most have a length that fall just right above it and this makes for an insanely sexy silhouette.

Metallic jacket – showstopper by day, ultimate party outfit topper by night – that’s basically what a metallic jacket is and if you’re looking for something that’s sure to give your outfit that much needed ‘oomph’ this is the best way to go.

Plain T-Shirt - how to wear

A plain white t-shirt is one of the most versatile pieces you’ll ever have in your closet. Boat neck, v-neck, round collar, or crew, the choice is up to you. You can never have too many and keeping them pristine is an absolute must for a timeless, fashionable look. Having a variety in your closet can make for easy dressing, particularly on days when you don’t want to think too hard about what to wear but still want to look chic. Add your favorite pair of jeans, a great jacket and some of these accessories to pull off casual elegance. Read ahead for some of my favorite style tips.

1. Printed Scarf – Add color, patterns, and current trends to an otherwise simple outfit with a bold printed scarf.

 

 

 



2. Dramatic Earrings – Frame your face with some dramatic earrings and let the t-shirt do its job as a simple anchor for otherwise sparkly jewelry

Copy the Look: Denim on Denim

The denim on denim trends has been around for quite a while now and if you haven’t already tried it, you’re missing out. It’s a very cool look that’s perfectly wearable all year long. You could say it’s very much like doing a Canadian tux except that it doesn’t strictly have to be a jacket and pants combo. There are so many ways to rock the denim on denim trend and each one is truly gorgeous and fab. If you’re not a big fan of wearing denim tops, you can still rock the look by switching denim with softer and lighter chambray, especially for warmer days in spring and summer. The denim on denim look, also known as the double denim look, is a stylish way to put together an easy, laid-back and relaxed casual outfit though you can always dress it up or down a bit to achieve different looks too ....

Trend Guide: ORIBE IS IN THE TOWN

Gestern war ich beim Friseur meines Vertrauens  , Salon Norma Parrucchieri,   in Bozen eingeladen , wo seine  Mitarbeiter von Ronnie Stam alles Wissenswerte  zu den ORIBE Produkten vermittelt wurde.

Aber nun von Anfang an: Was und Wer ist ORIBE?

Oribe Canales, besser bekannt al „ORIBE“ ist eine Institution.

Der amerikanisch-Kubanische Hairdresser frisiert seit nunmehr drei Dekaden die Köpfe namhafter Celebrities.

ORIBE war der erste Friseur, der Chanel und andere Designer mit opulent frisierten Models ausstattete....daher kein Wunder, dass Oribe schließlich eine eigene Beautylinie verwirklichte – ORIBE HAIRCARE.

Salon Norma´s Inhaber Mauro Basso , ewiger Vorreiter seinen Kunden das Beste fürs Haar anzubieten, hat sich mit ORIBE einigen können und „darf“ nun in Europa zusammen mit Grossbritannien, Rußland und italienweit in Bozen / Südtirol  als erster Salon die ORIBE Produkte vertreten.

...und nun kommt Ronnie Stam; Ronnie Stam , geboren in Amsterdam/Holland , Sohn eines Friseurs, wurde die Kreativität so zu sagen  in die Wiege gelegt, verschlug es gleich  nach seiner Ausbildung in die Weltstädte Tokyo, Paris , Mailand und New York, wo er als Assistent von Christiaan über 10 Jahre Erfahrungen sammeln konnte.

In dieser Zeit öffnete  Ronnie Stam auch einige Salone in Amsterdam und arbeitete noch nebenbei in  Paris als Stylist. In dieser Zeit in Paris hatte er die Möglichkeit mit einigen der besten Fotografen zusammenzuarbeiten wie Oliviero Toscani oder Patrick Demarchelier, usw....

Nach seinem Aufenthalt in Paris hat sich Ronnie Stam entschieden nach New York zu ziehen, wo er  u.a. mit den Supermodels  wie Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell , Kate Moss..um nur einige zu nennen ... zusammen arbeitete...

Ronnie Stam, der nun als Creative Director of Styling bei ORIBE tätig ist, hat es sich nehmen lassen, nach Südtirol / Bozen zu kommen um die Mitarbeiter vom Salon Norma höchst persönlich einzuschulen, um Ihnen zu demonstrieren, welche Produkte – angefangen vom Volume bis hin zum Shine – bei dünnen, glatten, lockigen...Haaren zu verwenden ist.

Ich persönlich durfte dem Spektakel bei wohnen und mir bleibt nur zu sagen, es war einfach unglaublich, was dieser „Meister „ aus den Haaren zauberte und ich bedanke mich beim Salon Norma in Bozen , dass ich dabei sein durfte und auch bei dem äußerst sympathischen Ronnie Stam !!!

Oribe Haircare ist zwar nicht billig, aber unverzichtbar für schöne Haare J - ich bin bereits FAN!! xo
