TREND: Chokers!

Goodmorning everyone! How are you?

I'm doing really good, earlier this week I went shopping for new accessories and came home with four chokers. I think they can look so good and sophisticated.
However, the first place I went to someone told me it used to be a sign that you were a prostitute. Being the history lover that I am (and a fun fact lover too), I decided to do some research....

Chokers are to be found in all sorts of shapes and colours, and I love them. They were all over the catwalk and stars like Ariana Grande have been wearing them for a while now.

I'm crazy about the velvet black ones, but I also got a lace choker. So beautiful!

I got mine at Zara, H&M and Claire's. 

Do you like chokers? Or are you no fan of this trend?

Comparing: MAC's Dark Side vs. Essence's Très Chic

Goodmorning everyone.

How are you doing? I'm so excited about this post day! As you might have seen a couple of days ago I got a new lipstick by Essence called "Très Chic". 

When I saw it in the store, I immediately fell in love. I was very surprised that Essence had a shade like this and didn't quite understand how I'd never seen it before. I mean, I love "Diva" by MAC as much as the next person, but cheaper dupes are always welcome.

Currently, I don't have my Diva lipstick anymore (I used it all up), but I do have the MAC dupe which is called "Dark Side".  I decided put these lipsticks side by side and was once again pleasantly surprised!

 

It's a shame the lighting is a bit off in the picture above, but you can tell the shades are very, VERY similar.

Let's start with the Essence lipstick. This one retails for €2.39, which isn't a lot.

 

If you want to, you can read my full in depth review on this Essence lipstick by clicking the link here. Basically I thought the colour pay off was good. The lipstick stays on for about four/five hours (without eating). I like the texture, it's quite smooth to apply. It does dry out my lips a little bit though, I can feel it getting dry throughout the day.

On to the MAC lipstick. This one is called "Dark Side" and it retails for €19.50. Quite a bit more than the previous one, but MAC is famous worldwide for good quality and so it's normal that you have a to pay a bit more. The question of today, however, is if it really is better than the one Essence can also provide us with. If you want to, you can read my in depth review on this lipstick here.

This lipstick is typically what we're used to: good pigmentation, nice texture (gets a little dry during the day), stays on for a good few hours, I mean, I really can't complain!

Just to show you how much these lipsticks look alike, both in colour and in quality, I decided to use both of them on my lips.

I used MAC "Dark side" for the bottom lip and my Essence "Très Chic" lipstick for the upper. Can you tell the difference? I can't.

Essence really blew me away with this one. I think we can say that this lipstick is (almost) an exact MAC dupe.

If you're looking for a dupe, "Très Chic" by Essence is the lipstick you need.

Have a nice day! 

How to wear a statement necklace ♥

As you might now, I've been loving statement necklaces lately. Statement necklaces really were a huge fashion trend in 2014 and I fell in love with it.

I got myself a bunch of statement necklaces since they started trending and I'm still expanding my collection.

Today I have a few tips on how you can wear statement necklaces!

Little black dresses are a basic, they should be in every woman's closet. They always say: "If you don't know what to wear, wear a little black dress."

I used to think that was stupid, but over the years, I've come to realise how true it actually is. I have many little black dresses now and I wear all of them quite often! 

I love wearing statement necklaces when I'm wearing a little black dress. A statement necklace can make your whole outfit. With little black dresses, I usually pick a statement necklace that's a bit more colourful.

Of course you can also wear a colourful dress and still pair it with a statement necklace! (I have this beautiful orange dress and I love to wear my teal necklace with it).

I also love a statement necklace with jumpsuits. I don't own a jumpsuit, but they can look so classy (and it might not even take a lot of time to look like that!). A royal blue jumpsuit with a beautiful silver or gold statement necklace, maybe a blazer and a pair of heels and you're ready to go!

 

Statement necklaces also work on shirts (even when it's paired with a blazer), but I think they should be plain. Maybe an ombré shirt would be fun, stripes are okay and it also looks cute with lace, but the shirt shouldn't be too overwelming, because it might look messy. If you feel like a certain outfit looks good with a statement necklace even though it's covered in patters, by all means. This is just how I like to wear my statement necklaces. 

 

And I also always like to make sure that the colours in my statement necklaces are colours that are also in the rest of my outfit - I like it matchy matchy. 

Some people do, some people don't. My advice is just to go for what you like, what makes you feel good.

 

I hope you thought this post was useful! If you have more tips, please share them in the comment section below, I'd love to hear how you all wear your statement necklaces!

Have a good day!
