While fashion is something that is currently in and can be bought, the style is something yours, something you can create.

Yes, we do agree that editors, bloggers and fashion magazines can be helpful by sharing their style advices, but people who have become style icons and eternal inspiration (Jane Birkin, Carine Roitfeld, Alexa Chung and others) have become that only by their own with their impeccable and authentic feeling for styling.

Because at the end of the day that is the only thing that matters: how have you stylized your complete look, and creation of styling is free. You don’t have to pay anything, it is only necessary to master key points, relax and let yourself go.

Autumn is coming. Cold mornings, the trees are a sleep, sunshine and rain is changing places daily, our heads are tucked into hoodies, the hands are swirling around pockets, and we are drinking a favorite hot drink in our favorite bar. Hot coffee during the cold morning, this looks like a scene from our favorite autumn movie, and main actors are definitely looking good in these scenes and their clothing and fashion styles are impeccable.

We are bringing you this time 5 tricks that will help you to make your styling flawless and completely noticed this autumn. Before starting with different styles, watch this year for sweaters, because this autumn sweaters will be one of the most important and at the same time one of the most favorite things in fashion. Sweaters could be worn during whole year, but they are especially trendy during the cold months. Depending on the weather conditions we choose softer ones made from cotton, wool or cashmere. During the last few fashion weeks we had opportunity to see collections for spring / summer 2015, and famous bloggers, models and stylists have transferred that to the streets, and in these stylings the sweater has had the main role.

Roll up your sleeves and jeans

Long sleeves are just made so you can roll them up, especially if you are wearing shirt. Also a few buttons should be unbuttoned, and sleeves should be rolled up to the elbow or just below it. The same case should be with jeans. These two types of stylization are the easiest way to make your outfit look cool and leisure. For elegant look, our proposition is to wear black saloon pants, it is quite enough to look classy and trendy.

Wear a blazer around your shoulders

There isn’t anything more fashionable then silky blazer leisure thrown over the shoulder, and if it is in navy blue color, there you have it, a bonus! Today you can buy for more than affordable price buy a model that will look elegant and chic, and then all you have to do it is throw it over your shoulder.

Make a tie around your waist

The easiest way to put accent on your waist, without a belt is to tie your blouse or shirt in the middle into small hitch. Bowties and ribbons are for kids, it is much more creative and attractive to just put it in your jeans, pants or skirt.

Part tucking in

Instead of tucking in the whole shirt In your pants or any other lower part of clothing, do it only with one part, in a way that the rest is freely falling over. This is one of the simplest ways to make your clothes look leisure. You can do the same with your shirt, jumper or blouse.

Seal the things with belt

Slim leather belt is a great accessory which can transform each and every outfit. From shirt, a belt can create a dress, and from sash a great detail for trench and it can also freshen up the coat or oversized jumper. Also, the belt doesn’t have to be put exactly at the waist; you can let it fall to your sides if you want to have a more laid back look. For this styling you don’t need much time, and the effect is more than great.

Before you hit the streets and the mall for a tour of shopping, be sure to check your finances, because financial crisis is still around somewhere. If you have tendency to put yourself in debt when going on a shopping spree, you can try talking with debt consolidation professionals such as national debt relief or freedom debt relief. They can help you minimize and organize your debt consolidation and in that way you will be able to have more money to spend during your shopping sprees. Sounds good, right? There isn’t anything better, then some extra money to be spent on improvement of your personal styling.

Just like women’s fashion, men’s fashion is likewise alive as evident with the many fashion shows by famous designers showcasing what is hot this fall. Since it is the start of the cold season, layering has become trendy and the choice of fabric is given much emphasis (the thicker and warmer, the better). The use of shearling as a lining on the collar of men’s jackets or coats, outerwear, gloves, and boots continue to be popular. Parka men’s jacket is also something that should be worn along with jeans, cardigan, and sneakers.

Wearing a double-breasted coat in colors like black, gray, navy, maroon, burgundy and other scarlet shades in the office is also trendy. A duffle coat in tan and neutral shades is appropriate for a more casual look. Another trend that has carried on from last summer is floral prints. Everywhere we see men wearing T-shirts, polo shirts, and sweaters with flower prints. The trendiest color for men’s fashion this fall is orange, from bright acidic shades to subtle apricot hues. Orange outerwear like men’s sweaters, bombers, overcoats, and suits abound.

The Balance of Comfort and Style

Now, we all love to be comfortable. At the end of the day, when you get home from work, you really just want to relax and enjoy yourself. In reality, though, you want to be comfortable all of the time, whether you’re going to work, meeting new singles through matchmaker services, checking or the bar and restaurant scene, or doing anything else around the city. However, at the same time, you need to look your best. Is it possible to find that balance between looking great and feeling comfortable, or do you have to choose one or the other?

There are a few things to keep in mind when thinking about fashion from this perspective. The first is that you’re absolutely going to feel more comfortable if you are wearing something that you know makes you look good. You know how other people are seeing you, and it gives you confidence like nothing else will. This helps you really relax and enjoy yourself. Make sure that you figure out what your personal sense of style is, what you think makes you look your very best, even if it does not seem like the most comfortable choice, and you’ll find that it actually makes you feel great in any setting.

Another thing to know is that many people actually wear clothes that don’t fit. Yes, they may have tried them on in the dressing room at the store, but this is what happens when people do not go to tailors and they all buy the same clothes, based on a generic set of sizes. Even something that they think fits may actually be too baggy or too tight. If you get tailored clothes that are true to your body type, that are actually designed for you, they’re going to be the most comfortable clothes you own. This is true even if you’re wearing something – like a suit – that you always thought was not comfortable. The truth may just be that you’ve never before worn a suit that really fit.

When you think about it like this, it’s easy to look great and be comfortable at the same time. It’s not like you have to choose between wearing a stunning new dress or a suit or a pair of sweatpants. You can find high-end clothing that makes you look incredible, but that fits so well that it keeps you comfortable, too.

Figuring out what outerwear to don can be hard since something that you wear at an important business meeting might look too formal on a casual outing. For the office, a neat double-breasted coat in black, navy blue, gray, burgundy, maroon and scarlet shades, is a must. For a less formal look, a duffle coat in camel and neutral shades is great. Parka men’s jackets are likewise a staple and can be worn with your favorite jeans, cardigan, and sneakers. For that Britpop look, try throwing it on over a checked flannel shirt and straight-legged dark denim.

Gucci, an iconic brand that has been around for decades, introduces the Gucci Première Eau de Toilette. It is a more subtle, lighter, and downplayed version of the Gucci Première Eau de Parfum. It is a scent that you can use everyday wherever you may be and at any time unlike the Eau de Parfum which is suitable to spray only during special occasions because of its somewhat strong smell. Gucci Première Eau de Toilette blends presence and sexy femininity to provide the wearer with confidence and an infinite glow. Every woman who wants to get noticed should buy one.

The original ingredients found on the Eau de Parfum are still there, however, bright flowers and sparkling citrus notes bring a new lightness to the fragrance. Orange blossom and citrus oils are mixed, and there is also the white flowers at the heart of the fragrance of freesia, jasmine and soft Bulgarian rose. Spray it on and when it dries on skin, you will be charmed with the fragrance’s patchouli and musky notes. To quote Gucci’s Creative Director Frida Giannini, “In the new Première Eau de Toilette, there is a charming balance of jasmine sambac and Bulgarian rose, two classically elegant feminine flowers that are contrasted with delicate freesia. The result is a vibrant, modern feminine scent that you can enjoy wearing every day”.

The Gucci Première fragrance line came about because of the Gucci Premiere couture collection that started at Cannes Film Festival in 2010. Among the Hollywood stars who wore these gowns are Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, Salma Hayek Pinault, Naomi Watts, and Kate Beckinsale. As for the packaging, Gucci Première Eau de Toilette’s bottle is not that different from Gucci Première Eau de Parfum. It combines many of the details and design motifs of the Parfum. However, it has been toned down. Furthermore, the color of the perfume and box became muted gold instead of a strong dazzling hue.

A 30-second video entitled Gucci Première Eau de Toilette starring Blake Lively is launched as a way to promote the scent. The Hollywood actress, who was also the model of the original Gucci Première Eau de Parfum, has all praises for the new Eau de Toilette. She says that fragrance is bottled confidence. You will right away feel empowered once you spray it on because you will exude confidence and it has a lasting effect on the people around you. For Blake being glamorous does not necessarily mean being on the red carpet and wearing fancy evening gowns. You can be glamorous everyday even on casual clothes if you spray on Gucci Première Eau de Toilette. The simple yet sexy and chic black and white video campaign was photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
