How to wear prints this season

Graphics-The 60’s have had a strong influence in this season’s collections, hence the multitude of colourful graphic prints everywhere! Bold and striking, these prints are not for the faint hearted. Wear it as a cardigan over a shift dress for work, or as a blouse. Too loud for your taste? Try the print in your purse or clutch! 

Black and whites-whether it be stripes, chequered squares, psychedelic prints or florals, it is all about the back and white ensemble this spring! You can easily wear this print in a blouse, a nice 60’s shift dress which is red hot right now, or as a pair of slim cut pin straight pants. Add mod accessories to pull it all together.

Florals –the perfect summery print. Feminine and flirty, you can incorporate florals into almost everything and anything this season! 

Floral pants are still stylish as ever-just keep in mind that if you are slightly heavier on your bottom half, larger print patterns will disguise the extra weight, whereas smaller floral prints would enlarge your curves. 

Mix up your regular top with a sheer floral one, or add a small floral print accessory if you find this print too loud, such as a scarf or a floral purse. 

 

Oriental inspired prints- we saw a glimpse of Orientalism infiltrating the fashions of last
season, and now they’re here stronger than ever before in the Spring Summer 2013 collections! From phoenix’s to dragons to cherry blossoms, designers have introduced an Asian flair to dresses, jackets and blouses. Try this exotic print out! 

Tropical animal prints – this is the ultimate summer print of all. Birds of paradise, zebras, tigers and leopards, wear this summery print in your sheer blouses or as a bathing suit for the ensuing summer months to come!

It's Spring with Brights and Pastels!

Spring is here! Say bye to those grey winter blues and say hello to sunny skies and the cool breeze. It's a brand new season with exciting new spring toned hues and shades! 

We’ll break all the colours trends down for you to make shopping and getting ready for work in the morning a piece of cake. 

Colour Trends

Bright hues-Express yourself in an array of rainbow candy colours this Spring. With so much to choose from, you just have to find out the shades that suit your hair, skin and eyes the best! From emerald greens, nectarines, cobalt blues, canary yellows to hot pinks, this season is all about colour! Wear them as a blouse or a skirt for work, toning it down with neutrals. Or, if your workplace does not allow for too much pizzazz in your office wear, carry a bright pop coloured bag. 

Sweet and pretty macaroon pastels-Fresh and feminine define the look of Spring 2013 and we can’t help but love the soft shades of pistachio green, fondant blue, candy floss pink and lemon yellow. You can easily wear this colour as a blouse or blazer for work, shifting into pastel coloured denim on weekends, which is a red hot trend for this season. Pair pastels with crisp whites and you’re right on trend. 

Neutrals-Go minimalistic this Spring with neutral shades of white, cream, beige, grey and black and white combos. Try layering a number of neutrals together to get the look.

Metallics- this isn’t just for the party season. You can add a punch of metallics to your Spring wardrobe with some cool accessories such as shiny gold or silver flats and sandals. For dinners and nights out, go a little more daring with a shimmery silver skirt or top.

Eyeliners are not just in black anymore but rather in colourful brights this season! Experiment with bright turquoises or aquas-spring's it colours.

Keep your cheeks and lips nude, peach or pastel pink depending on your colouring.

Perfect Skin!

Summers in Hong Kong can be brutal; with the humidity and high pollution levels, it's easy for skin to get clogged with dirt. During these bright hot summer months, it is vital to take good care of your skin. Dr Murad recently came out with an oil-free Skin Perfecting Lotion, whichminimises pores so that they don't easily get blocked with black heads. Meanwhile, algae and Queen of Meadow extracts hydrate the skin without causing break-outs from skin sensitivity. The lotion is also great to apply on a nasty sunburn, as retinol encourages cell regeneration and arnica soothes irritation.
