:: Winter 2015 Pant Styles ::

Hello dears!

So for today’s post I thought I would list numerous styles of pants which seem to be making a big hit this winter. It is very apparent that both designers and brands in general have decided to offer us a very wide range of pant fits and styles for us to rock this winter. This range includes both the well known skinny pants as well as loose fitting styles.

Numerous fashion shows and lookbooks portray so many different styles for this winter, and I thought that it would e a god idea for me to collect and share some of them with you. I have spotted a variety of modern, vintage as well as timeless silhouettes which come in various colours and fits. So here it comes!

Black Straight Pants
This is potentially the most common style of pants ever, the most flattering on every body shape and size, and the easiest to style. It can easily be paired with sweaters for a dressed-down look, or else dressed up with a structured blazer. Pair it with heels and out the door we go!

Tracksuit Inspired Pants

Tracksuit Inspired Pants
As you will see as we get through these fits, so many of them are inspired by the 1960s and 1970s. This might not be everybody’s cup of tea, however it is a very comfortable way to look fashionable this winter, so do not be scared to give it a try!

Leather Pants
It might not suit everybody, but let me tell you, leather paired with absolutely everything is an automatic fashion A+! Leather, especially sleek black leather has the power to manipulate every outfit in appearing on point. Paired with a textured sweater, such as a knitted thick one is on point girls!

Leather Black Pants

Wide Legged Pants

Wide Leg Pants Again, a risky style to try as it might not flatter everyone, but that’s what changing rooms are for right? (Ugh!) Make sure to try them on before purchasing, but for those tall beauties out there, this is the style for you this year! Comfortable and gorgeous all day long! 

Quilt Detailed Pant

Quilt Detailed Pants
As the name suggests, there is nothing more comfortable than this style of pants! It can be found in so many shops as its popularity is increasing at a very fast rate!

Shortened or Hemmed Pants
This was very popular last year, with so many of us hemming our skinny pants and jeans up to our calves! It is a very easy style to follow, however it goes a long way! It tends to elongate the legs for a more refined look! So keep up the good work! Beige, whites and browns are very popular this year!

High-Waisted Pants
Defining the waist has never been a negative thing, it makes the person appear taller, while slimming down any imperfections which most of us are not very proud of! (What is a gym!?) Make sure to invest in a nice pair of high-waisted besties this winter girls!

Red Leather High-Waisted Pants

Ripped Pants
Another style which remerged this winter! If it doesn’t appeal to you that much, or it makes your insecurities explode, you might prefer a slightly distressed pair for starters, which is equally as cute and flattering so don’t worry! Pair them up with a pair of combat boots and you suddenly look grungy and tough!

Ripped Jeans

Pleated Pans

Pleated Pants
Remember the days of school uniforms?! We hated them so much right? Well, our uniforms are now considered stylish! Who would have thought?! Pleated pants were very popular on the runways of numerous big names and brands, and were presented as a very versatile style, aimed at both the sophisticated professional, paired with a blazer and court shoes, as well as for the younger students!

Drop-Crotch Pants

This style has been seen on the catwalk, especially in leather, or else paired with leather anything. This laid-back look is very sophisticated and fashionable, while being one of the most comfortable styles which are trending at the moment.

Tailored Pants
Last but not least, are the popular fitted or tailored pants. This is very often merged with the pleated style to produce an equally sophisticated look. However, when it isn't, it is paired up with male-looking shoes for a mature look!

So, these were the primary pant styles for Winter 2014/2015. Which is your favourite style, and are you open to trying any of them? Let us know in the comments!

:: Inglot Eyeshadow Review ::

Hiya girls!

So today I thought I'll share with you a couple of thoughts about an Inglot Basics Eyeshadow Palette that I have received for Christmas. Now in no way, shape or form am I talking from a professional side, as I'm far from being classified as that, but this is simply a girl's opinion on a product!

So one of my presents last Christmas, was the Inglot Freedom System ( or Systeme' de la Liberte') Palette 3. This included three gorgeous eye shadows, three neutral colours which I could use for everyday. Prior to getting this palette, I made use of the Misslyn Runway Eyes Palette, which to be honest, served me quite well for over a year. However, upgrading was great!

I believe very much in neutral eye shadow, as I feel that it gives the illusion of a lot of time spent doing make-up, when in reality, you barely need ten minutes! The palette contained very pigmented colours which is the first thing I personally look for in shadows, blush and lipsticks, and it magnetic closure gives it a sophisticated and unique touch!

What do you guys think about this brand, and what would you suggest from it? Have you ever used any Inglot products before? Feel free to let me know!

:: The Meaning of Resolutions ::

Hey girls!

    So, having transferred into a new year, I've been hearing a lot about New Years' Resolutions and becoming a better you and things along those lines. Regarding this I know I'm not alone!. However, I wanted to share a thought with you regarding these resolutions :)

First of all, yes I do find resolutions helpful, as I feel that in order to come up with resolutions in the first place, we have to automatically revise and do an internal-check up of what we have accomplished, or rather failed to accomplish this past year.

In addition to this, it acts as a plan for the following year. For example, so many of us always ( and I mean Always!) feel the need to 'live a healthier lifestyle' or 'start saving up'. These manage to find their way into our resolutions every year. Now, being honest with ourselves, if we have the same resolutions over and over, this implies that we are mostly failing at them, OVER and OVER!

What I have realised however, is that for the first six days of the New Year, we can all be considered professionals, it is after the first week that we start to drift away from our self-regulations! We need to make an effort and live everyday as if it was the first day of the year; with that positive mindset and attitude in set!

Below, I shall link you lovely readers to a couple of videos that I stumbled upon :) These are a couple of youtubers which honestly inspire me on a daily basis, and who have managed to live so many experiences in the past year :)

This is the attitude which we need to reflect on a daily basis! Enjoy xx

P.S: I am very much aware that I ahve not been postng much about fashion lately, and the reason for this is because, I'm trying to implement a pinch of diversity to my posts :) I hope you like them xoxo

:: Being a Team?! ::

Hey girls :)!

So first of all, I wish to excuse myself for not posting as often as I had planned to. Having started a Law Course at University definitely did not make it any easier, however here I am now! And more excited than ever woo! I also wish to thank all of you guys who show me great support <3

In addition, I wish to let you know that I tend to post more on my Facebook page for the sake of continuous interaction :)! So here's a link to that! https://www.facebook.com/kayliesfashionparlour

Now, the point of this post isn't to ramble as I have done so far (no shame!), but rather to talk to you girls about something that has been on my mind for quite a long time. This is a somewhat different kind of post because I intend it to be more of a discussion rather than me just suggesting ideas about how to pair this with that!  So please, let me know what you think regarding this topic!
What I shall rant about is us girls judging other girls ( and obviously everyone else, admit it! ) on the basis of looks, including size, hair, make-up, shoes.. you name it.  Now, I am the first one to be guilty of this and I know I'm not alone, but it's not something we decide to do, it's something we just, do. However it is not something that I feel proud of, its a negative perspective to have towards people especially when meeting them for the first time.

I feel that we should all be one team helping each other with our girly needs and sh*t like that! It seems like such an easy thing to say, but being quite honest with myself, I think it's a difficult thing that can only take place as time goes by.

What do you think? :) Is it something we should take as a permanent characteristic of us girls, or is it something we should try and change?

Looking forward to hearing from you! xx
