Editorial Advert: Inter-Seasonal Style, Dizzy into Dreamy

Moodboard Uniprice Editorial Advert: Inter Seasonal Style, Dizzy into Dreamy

 

Technically, Spring should already have sprung, but here we are, still wearing our winter jumpers and feeling thoroughly sorry for ourselves. Meanwhile, you want to go shopping, but the shops are full of summer dresses and short shorts that you just can’t imagine you’ll get the chance to wear any time soon. This calls for a bit of smart inter-seasonal shopping; choosing key quality pieces that you can rock in this harsh extended winter and the warm summer, if it ever materializes.

The key to a good inter-seasonal look is to pick a fabric that will provide a layer of warmth in winter, but which is also cool and lightweight enough for warmer weather. Dresses are the easiest item of clothing to reboot and when it comes to fabric, jersey is a classic choice. This chic See by Chloe shift is a strong transitional piece. The brightness of the print will perk up a drizzly day and will also work in bright sunlight, and the pixelated cobra print is a great update on the ubiquitous animal print trend.

For cold weather, throw on a pair of tights, some sturdy boots, a lightweight knit and a leather jacket, and then simply update it in summer with a pair of flats and a statement necklace.

Maybe you’re sick of waiting for the sun to arrive, and you’ve decided to jet off to warmer climes and get some sun. We don’t blame you; swapping a soggy commute for a sun lounger and a cocktail is a no brainer.

Looking your best by the pool or on the beach is no mean feat. Of course you’ll need a great bikini and a pedicure, but you’ll also want to make sure your make-up is working as hard as you play, which means choosing waterproof products that give maximum effect with minimum effort.

The whole point of holiday glamour is to look effortlessly chic, so you really don’t want to be performing poolside touch-ups every time you step out of the water. Keep it simple: a pop of lip colour and sweeping lashes will give you a great holiday look with a low-maintenance air. Dab some waterproof concealer under your eyes if you’re feeling a little jet-lagged.

A white bikini is the best way to show off a tan, and is pretty much timeless, think Kate Moss on a St. Barths yacht and you’re there. Curvier girls can’t go wrong with a more retro shape, and strapless styles eliminate the dreaded tan line issue.

By placing items from hundreds of online stores in one convenient place, Uniprice offers a relaxed shopping experience that will leave you more time to plan your summer wardrobe, whether you’re cheating the wintry weather with a multi-purpose outfit, or rocking a stay-put pout and a knock-out bikini.

#Throwback! On Campus: ‘Swag it’ Out with Sweats

Sweats with Swag #Throwback! On Campus: Swag it Out with Sweats

It’s 7:30 on a Monday morning. Awakened by your cell phone’s alarm, a sound that has conditioned you since week two of second semester, you jump out of bed crippled with anxiety. Scrambling to get all of your belongings together for class, you reach straight for the neon Victoria’s Secret sweats and throw your hair into a bun. More concerned about making it to class on time than looking fashion forward, you’re out the door and ready to go.

Does this pattern sound familiar? Of course it does. Having lived on a college campus, I’ve witnessed both myself and my peers fall victim to this vicious cycle. I mean, who’s thinking skinny jeans at the crack of dawn? Certainly not me. While your appearance may be the last thing on your mind the morning after a late night study/romp session, there are ways to seep your street style swag AND still be comfy.

While some of you may be a bit reluctant to splurge on loungewear, it’s an investment you want to look into. High-end lounge apparel brings more opportunity to the wearer to create a comfortable, high fashion outfit without looking sloppy. Sweats from stores like Victoria’s Secret are not only cliché and turn you into a walking billboard, but also limit the possibilities of the other elements in your outfit, as the sweats are just too bright and busy.

Nailing the sweat pants look is very simple if you can keep a couple of things in mind. Here’s a list of rules that will allow you to keep the swag in your sweats.

  1. Go for neutrals. Bright tones are too distracting and defeat the purpose of dressing down.
  2. Pair your sweats with cute shoes. Instead of plummeting your outfit deeper into the lazy spiral by throwing on Uggs or moccasins, try a pair of low-heel booties. They’re comfortable, but won’t make you look like you just rolled out of bed.
  3. Texture. Texture. Texture. Sweats can be found in various different kinds of fabrics. Try out a knitted pair to mix things up and make your outfit more interesting.
  4. Accessories seal the deal. We all know that accessories have the potential to transform a look. Adding a chic necklace to a simple outfit   can make you go from blasé to Bensoni in a matter of seconds.

Editorial Advert: Jovani, Star Style | From Hippie to Classy

They say shoes are a woman’s best friend; well consider the collection from Jovani her footwear’s fashion partner-in-crime. The design team at Jovani is well-known for their special knack for flawlessly marrying comfort and elegance. Women of every age fall in love Jovani’s long, stunning evening gowns, flirty party dresses and everything in between.

Have you ever dreamt of becoming a pop star and every boy’s teenage dream? Well, you may not have the chops to become the next music icon, but who says you can’t dress like one? Pop princess, Katy Perry rocked one of Jovani’s dresses to the MTV Movie Awards with sultry style and her own dash of quirky glamour. This beautifully sequined dress accentuated the star’s mouth-watering curves with subtlety and class. Perry paired the dress with gray stilettos and electric blue hair, giving special emphasis to her unique, hippie style.

Since most of us can’t pull off the blue hair, instead, you can opt for a classic updo to further highlight the design of this dress. The great thing about wearing sequins is that you don’t have to add any jewelry, which could be overkill. Also, try to keep your shoes simple, go for neutral tones like gray, gold or brown and keep the embellishments to a minimum to avoid over-accessorizing this look.  Snag Katy’s dress here.

If you’re a little more on the conservative side, maybe Katy Perry’s style is not for you. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t still indulge in a dress drowned in shimmer. In November 2012, Carrie Underwood stunned the fashion police in a gorgeous Jovani evening dress and metallic heels. This dress is not only a head-turner; it’s also super comfortable, allowing you to move around freely. Who says fashion has to be painful? Click here to come close to Carrie’s classic style. Again, it’s best not to accessorize too much when wearing this piece due to its very pronounced sequin detailing. Opt for simple heels in neutral tones to best compliment this sparkly piece.

Who can take their eyes off of Channing Tatum, named by People Magazine as the Sexiest Man Alive in 2012? Well, we can look but we can’t touch because he’s taken by the lovely Jenna Dewan-Tatum. The couple was spotted in October 2012 with the actress wearing a simple, yet chic Jovani dress. While you can’t officially become Mrs. Tatum, you can look like her in this equally striking garment. This beautifully-embroidered dress represents both elegance and simplicity. It has a round neckline and unlike Jenna’s dress, a sleeveless top. Accessorize this piece with a set of bangles and a pair of plain black heels to create the dramatic look that you’ve been longing for.

If its variation that you want, the Jovani collection can certainly cater to your fashion needs. Whether you’re a lively teen or fabulous at 40, the timeless diversity of the Jovani line will certainly suit your style as it ranges all the way from hippie to classy.
