:: 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!

:: Winter 2015 Make-up Trends ::

Plum Lipstick

Hey girls!

    So for this post I thought I'd share with you some make-up trends I'd been noticing this winter, and what is to be expected for the following year! Vogue, Marie-Claire, Glamour, anyone which is in close proximity with any of these magazines among so many others have probably heard about this! But if you're like me, slightly lazy (when it comes to, um.. everything in life), then this post might be of help to you!

So firstly, bad news first, no red lips this year ladies! Unfortunately, the gorgeous red lipsticks we have in our vanities are to be given a break this winter, as the colours plum and burgundy are taking over. But not to worry, change has never been for the worst in the beauty industry, right? (Lord,we are prayin'!)

Burgundy Lipstick

Even though make-up looks are considered very subjective to years and even seasons, the natural look is never trashed out. We have seen it emerge every single season, as it can be simply referred to as timeless. Eyeshadow, eyeliner and lipstick in natural colours are must-haves, so make sure to invest in products which will serve you for a long time girls! They are definitely on the list of the basics!


Another look we shall be seeing yet again this winter, are those gorgeous smokey eyes, paired with black pencil eyeliner on the lower strand of eyelashes, as well as highlighted cheekbones. I don't know about you girls, but I believe that this left quite a hit this year! I feel that it compliments every eye colour so well. Hey, its difficult to go wrong with this!

Highlighted Cheekbones 

Lastly, I have noticed that the main colours of eyeshadow for this year are golds, dark oranges, bronzes, browns, silvers and jade. Again, most of them are neutrals! It's also good to keep in mind that one does not have to implement everything into one look, but rather can adopt one characteristic of a trend and pair it up with another! For example, a neutral eye goes perfectly with a burgundy lip, right?

Let me know what your thoughts are on this years' looks, and feel free to share any of your own ideas! Take care! xxx

::What's in my Make-up Bag?! ::

Hey Girls!

     So as you might have guessed from the pretty obvious title, today you're getting a sneak peak of my make-up bag! I'll just be talking about what I keep in that black-hole, and what I use on an everyday basis regarding make-up :)! So shall we start? ...

1. Essence Maximum Definition Volume Mascara - This is absolutely gorgeous, not very expensive but I can safely say that it has been the best mascara I have used for a long time! It simply elongates and fills up my lashes, and they need that!
2. Technic Complete Brow Kit - I have only just started using this, a friend of mine made me realise the importance of using such a product to fill in brows every once in a while! I tend to not do this on a daily basis as I use it for more dramatic or dressy looks.
3. Inglot Basics Freedom System Tri-Shadow Palette - I have already said enough on this palette in my opinion, I have written a whole blog post in relation to this gorgeous product by Inglot, so here it is: http://kayliesfashionparlour.blogspot.com/2015/01/inglot-eyeshadow-review.html
4. Misslyn Basics Eye shadow Palette - This has been a favourite of mine for more than two years now, I just can't praise it enough! The variety of shadows is honestly amusing, and what makes them so much better is that they are so pigmented!
5. The Body Shop Smudger Brush - This was given to me as a Christmas Present together with the above Inglot Palette, and it has been so great when applying highlighter and eyeshadows!
6. Rimmel London Long Lasting Lipstick by Kate - This is just an example, because anyone who knows me can tell you how much I am in love with lipsticks, the brighter the better! This just happened to be in my make-up bag at the time but, Max Factor, Essence... any will do!
7. Rimmel London Blush in Live Pink - This has just been my absolute favourite blush of all time, I've been using it for as long as I can remember, and I just keep buying a new one every time it finishes, its that good!
8. ItStyle Make-up Concealer - This honestly just saves the day every time, its like having a best friend in your bag!?
9. Random Blush Brush - Well, it does the job right?
10. Ultra-shine Gloss Extra Brillante - When I'm not feeling in the mood for a full-on make-up look, just a little shine goes a great way! It looks like you've tried when really, you've just rolled out of bed (why am I sharing this on the Internet?!)
11. Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Foundation - Probably not the best foundation
    out there, but in my case it absolutely does the job without having to spend tons of money! So yay for me!
12. Essence Pencil Eye Liner - Am I the only one that hasn't yet mastered the art of liquid eyeliner? I'm practicing guys, I'm practicing! However, I simply love this pencil eyeliner from Essence, it slides so beautifully on which makes it a lot easier to apply!
13. Baby Lips Electro Fierce n' Tangy - Last but not least, this is an absolute lifesaver, especially with these cold months around. My lips tend to dry out and all I need is this lovely product! Problem Solved! 

So, there you go! That's a sneak peak into my everyday make-up look! 

I hope you enjoyed it, xxx <3

:: 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!
