Style Icon: Emma Watson

Emma Watson always graces the red carpet with her classy and elegant style. You may know her as Hermione Granger, from the Harry Potter movies. Although there is not much fashion in those films, Emma sure does know how to dress off screen. She likes to keep things simple but glamorous when shes walking the red carpet, and always looks amazing while doing so.

Not only does she have great red carpet style but her style off the red carpet is great too. Whatever she wears always looks fashionable and comfortable which is why we love it so much. She pairs jeans with comfortable sweaters and scarves, always has a cute bag and accessories with a jacket or coat.

Get the Look

To get Emma Watson’s look simplify your casual outfit with a simple tank top under a  cardigan and a scarf with a long button down coat. Emma has modeled for Burberry and is seen wearing Burberry alot so if you want Emma Watson’s style check out Burrberry’s clothes. For a dressy outfit wear a glamorous dress with black pumps and a cross body bag.

The reverse french Mani

Give your mani a mod twist. We love a traditional French mani: it’s classic, timeless and makes our nails look so pretty. But sometimes classic doesn’t cut it. So instead, we give you the reverse mani. It’s a little bit punk, a whole lot of awesome and the perfect outfit update.

To start, apply one coat of your fave colour to your entire nail. Once you’ve done this, wait for it to completely dry before moving to the next step, to save from smudges. Step two: Next up, get yourself some French manicure nail guides. These are stick-on guides that you apply so you know exactly where to paint the next colour. Apply the guides to the moon on your nails, in an arc shape and paint a completely different colour above it. Choose a complementary colour for most impact (think opposite ends of the colour wheel: blue and gold, green and red/pink, etc.).

 Step three: When dry, remove the nail guides, and finish with a top coat. And then… you’re done, finito. And with pretty talons to boot, we must add. With a twist… If you wanna get even more creative, you can paint across your nail tips in the same colour you painted the bottoms of your nails.

Shorts!

I have been seeing shorts everywhere! They are the ultimate fashion piece right now and even if it is freezing cold you can still pull them off with tights.

Bold Colors: Bold color shorts look great with a simple white top and simple accessories. The leopard print shoes go great with the head wrap.

Denim: You can never go wrong with denim, a polished shirt and edgy accessories are a great way to play it up.

Winter Shorts :  Don’t think just because its winter you can’t wear shorts. Neutral colors and tights are what you should do to make it work.

girlifique asked: hi! how shall I accessorize my ash gray ball gown for prom?? tnx, alphannjill.

I would say black & gold jewelry and like a edgy black clutch with studs.

Blush and Bronzer

  • Blush and bronzer are great things to have in your makeup bag because the enhance your natural features. 
  • Blush gives you a pop of color on your face.
  • and bronzer can slim your face down and help with making you look tan.

Tips for blush:

  • after you apply your foundation, if you use it, use a blush brush, smile and apply to the apples of your cheeks.
  • another thing you may want to use is highlighter which makes your cheekbones pop, so you would just apply to the top of your cheekbones and blend out, using a brush or your fingers.

Bronzer Tips:

  • The best way to apply bronzer and make it look natural is using a blush brush, suck in your cheeks and make a fish face and apply it under the apples of your cheeks, following the line where your cheeks are sucked in 
  • Then you would want to go from the side of your face up to the forehead and on the jaw line.
