We all love TOMS for their shoes but this video just shows how creative the company really is.
June is finally here and with temperature rising, we can’t blame your “less is more” style. Nothing feels cooler ( no pun intended) with a pair of shorts and tank top on a hot summer day. Because who really wants to layer up during summer, right? So it is hot outside and your popsicle is melting, but here are five hot things to buy this June and yes you are right, these are our definitely favorites of the month!

Whilst most would think to dump their scarf after arduous winter months, we say keep the scarf trend! Instead of thick wool scarves, opt for cotton scarves that will keep you cool during the humid days. Scarves are the perfect and simple accessories to jazz up a simple outfit. There are multitudes of ways to wear scarves but here are several ways you can try this summer!
1) The Turban
The turban is a lovely way to keep your hair fashionably up this summer. Obviously inspired by the 1950s, domestic cleaning aside, we love how the 50s is coming back. Give your hair some flair by folding your scarf diagonally until it is becomes a long band. Wrap it from the bottom of your hair and fasten it upfront with a simple knot and ta-dah! Don’t forget your red lipstick!
2) The Boy Scout
This rendition, inspired by the Boy Scouts is a great way to jazz up your outfit without being over the top. Simply fold two opposite ends of the scarf and then wrap it around your neck, making sure one of the pointed end is facing down. Tuck the other end into the scarf and there you go, a boy scout scarf!
3) The Knot
The Knot is by far the simplest way to tie a scarf. Take one your cotton scarf and tie it around your neck twice (make sure there’s ample of space around your neck) and tie a knot at the end. Perfect for a nice cool summer evening walks around the park or beach.
So there you go, how to wear scarf during the summer. Do you like to wear scarves during the summer? If so, how do you wear it? Tell us!

Everyone loves designer jeans. From Joe’s Jeans to Hudson Jeans, one could say that the best clothing investment is certainly a good pair of jeans. Designed by the Swedish, Nudie Jeans originated from Gothenburg and was founded in 1999 by Maria Erixsson and we can’t say enough how infatuated we are with the quality of Nudie Jeans. The raw and pre-washed Nudie jeans are definitely Hollywood celebrities favorite because guess who was caught wearing them? Zac Efron!

It is time for shorts, flirty dresses, sandals to matched that tossed beachy hair of yours.

Sometimes, it is rather challenging to pair our outfits with the right color combination. There are times when we believe we ought to pair one color with another to only find it looking weird, or just off. You may begin to wonder, so how do we know which color would be right for each other? You don’t have to go to design school to learn the dichotomy of the color palette. Here is our guide:
1. Use colors directly next to each other – To create a one tone hue, use colors next to each other such as Violet, Violet-Blue, etc
2. Use colors directly across from each other – To make your outfit pop, accentuate one piece of outfit using colors that are direct opposites such as violet and yellow.
3. Use colors that form 90 degree angles with each other – If you want your outfit to match the same undertones, pair yellow and red-orange for a warm ensemble.
4. Use colors that form an X – You don’t have to stick to one or two colors in an outfit. If colorful is your middle name, follow this direction to avoid looking like a skittle. For example, the color blue, orange, violet-red and yellow go well together.
5. Use colors that form a T – Following the same suit with the colors that form an X, it is all about using the same undertones but one opposite color to make it pop. For example, orange and violet-red (same undertones) and blue.
After selecting the color pattern you desire, you may pair them with a neutral color such as beige, cream, gray – just to name a few. Another tip, to make sure the color suits your skin color, determine your skin undertones. Warm undertones individuals would want to wear warmer colors as opposed to cool undertones individuals.
We hope this will help you pick your next outfit or your next shopping trip!
