3 Reasons To Wear A High Rise Skirt

They say that in fashion, trends just come and go. What was cool 30 years ago would sometimes come back to become trendy again today, although most of the time these trends and fad evolve with a new twist. As for me, I have seen the return of the flared high rise skirt during the past couple of years. I actually own quite a handful of high rise skirts myself, and I really love every bit of them as much as the other. 
If you are wondering why I love wearing high rise skirts, I am sure this post will be of help to you. If you love to look trendy in vintage, high-rise fashion, these are the reasons why I love wearing high rise skirts!

Reasons Why I Love Wearing High Rise Skirts

  1. High Rise Skirts make my stomach look flatter
Every girl's dream is to eat without getting fat, right? I mean, who wouldn't love that! But we all know that is an impossible dream unless you have the metabolism of a cheetah. If you can't eat and not get fat, the alternative is to wear clothes that will make you look slimmer and thinner. The higher waistline cut of trendy high rise skirts take the attention away from your stomach, so you can hide away the evidence of that midnight pizza you ate last night :)
2. High Rise Skirts make me look slimmer
High skirts emphasize the shape and silhouette of a woman's body, which is why I really love wearing them. You can flaunt the shape of your hips and waist when you wear flared high rise skirts, and this can really help create attention. If you have a boyish body with little curves in it (yes, I know... it sucks but that's just like me) you can create the illusion of bigger hips and waist by wearing a loose top paired with a wide belt.

3. High Rise Skirts make me look classy and sophisticated -- it has a vintage appeal
I don't know about you, but I always feel classy and sophisticated when I am wearing my flared high rise skirts. Maybe it stems back to a time long ago when women wore these skirts that make us feel that classy "vintage" feel. Can you look at those old photos of your momma or grandma? I bet you will see at least one picture of them wearing a high rise skirt during their youth!
All in all, I really believe that a high rise skirt is a must for every woman out there. The great thing about these skirts is that there is always a cut and shape that will fit  your body shape and silhouette.

Korean Eyeliner - How To Look Like A Korean Using Gel Eyeliners

Why Do Korean Eyes Look so Nice?

"Why do Korean eyes look so nice?"
This is a question that most of my friends ask me, and to tell you the truth I've had to answer this question quite a lot. Ever since I was a young gal, people have already noticed and praised my eyes. But as time went by and I started to grow up, I had to make sure that my eyes would pop out like the actresses that I adored. Although the Korean makeup process is a complicated art that many people aren't willing to learn, I found enjoyment in this activity. Because of it, I was able to learn how to apply eyeliners that will not look too imposing when worn everyday.
Why do Korean eyes look so nice? Is it the "genes" thing? Maybe. Or do Korean eyes just look naturally nicer compared to others? It could be so. Truthfully, Korean eyes have that round, almost surprised characteristic that make them look so pretty and adorable. But more than that, there is a secret that I will let you in on --- it all begins with the eyeliner!

Korean Gel Eyeliners Are My Favorite

Among eyeliners, Korean gel eyeliners are my favorite. Not only do they feel softer and fuller but they are also sweat and waterproof. When you are wearing an eyeliner, it is important that you wear one that won't smudge on you when you start sweating or you start to get wet by water (well, occasional raindrops can't be avoided sometimes, right?). A ruined eyeliner can be really annoying and it can really make your eyes look unattractive.
Some of my favorite Korean Eyeliners such as the 3 Concept Eyes Gel Eyeliner by Nanda, have glitters added to it to make your eyes glow and pop even more. When you are out in the night partying or dancing in a club, these glitters will really make a lot of positive difference.

I like the 3 Concept Eyes Gel Eyeliner by StyleNanda because it is very affordable but it provides one of the best, if not the best, results out of all the eyeliners that I've tried. I have always seen good results from it ever since I used it and it has never failed me on the numerous occasions that I used it to outline my eyes.
Golden glitters are contained in this product, which adds more texture and definition to an otherwise boring look. Also, the matte effect that it has on the eyes is definitely the kind of look that I would be happy to have.



Eyeliner Tip : Visualize A Triangle

There are several variations that you can do to make the most out of the 3CE Gel Eyeliner set, but one of the tips that I can give is to visualize a triangle and fill that in with the eyeliner. Beautiful Buns has created an in-depth tutorial on how to achieve this, and you can find it here!




Final Thoughts On How To Achieve The Korean Eyes

Korean eyes can be achieved if you know how to properly craft and use a gel eyeliner. Although not everyone is blessed with a naturally round and defined eyes, it can be achieved by using a Korean Gel Eyeliner such as the 3CE Korean Gel Eyeliner that I use. Still, you have to learn how to properly apply this product. Always go for the waterproof ones in order to avoid smudging all over your face!

Why I Love Square Toe Sneakers In All-White Colorway

I have always loved all-white square toe sneakers. They are clean, chic and very easy to wear. There is a luxe feel and look that a mono sneaker provides (and when I say mono, I mean one color only such as all-white or all-red) Wearing all-white brings out a lot of pop even when you feel like you are not having a "great outfit" day, and it is also very easy to wear and combine colors with.
Can you see yourself walking down the streets wearing nothing but white, lighting up the sidewalk like nobody else does? I sure can, and I really think that wearing all-white can give you a lot of attention from other people. Wearing all-white sneakers is great because it gives you peace of mind that your feet would look good --- in other words, you don't have to think about your shoe game anymore!



Square Toe Sneakers In Mono White Is Easy To Wear

One thing that I like about wearing all-white sneakers is that I can just "wear and forget". Some people might not think this is a big thing, but when you are trying to look good and be fashionable every single day, having the ability to just wear anything you want and forget about it is a blessing. When you put on a pair of all-white sneakers, you already have an assurance that it'll look good. Because it has been around for so long, mono sneakers such as all-white gives you the peace of mind that you wouldn't have if you wear something too flashy or too colorful.
When I just want to feel comfortable with myself and I do not feel like wearing colors that are hard to combine, I just pick up a simple outfit and then bring out my all-white mono sneakers in the closet. As soon as I put my favorite pair on, I start to gain confidence and trust that it'll look good, no matter what top or bottom I wear along with it.



When all else fails, I just wear all-white. A girl doesn't have to be a bride to wear all-white, right? That goes for the shoes too! My favorite shoe shape is a square toe sneaker because it gives my feet room to wiggle and move around. Moreover, mono sneakers are just fun, clean and easy to wear --- you don't have to think too much about wearing one. Just put it on and you are set. Baby, just wear and forget!
Just a friendly reminder though --- please put in mind the weather before you go out walking the streets with your all-white sneakers. Even if wearing all white makes you clean and bright, getting mud, water and rain splatter all over your mono shoes is not something that you would like, especially if you are wearing all-white!
Cheers and hope you get to purchase your own all-white square toe sneakers too!
