Chrome is In

For some reason, Chrome Yellow is so in for this winter.  Check out my favourite Gucci bag, you could fit your Mac and all electronic devices in it with chic... how to wear with this Chrome yellow this season is to wear it with black, grey, white. These are neutral colors that will go so well with this magnificent Chrome.

The 2015 Shoes

Wondering what is in for next spring? I see metallic socks with sandals are super hot next year. Wear it with crop pants, flared skirts or shorts will just do the trick. Catch me with these... That's how to use these socks with style.

This is a great fashion statement. Tough as well as classy! You know it well.

Macho and Lace

To my women friends, there is a time when everything is just a simple T and jeans. I think every now and then it is ok to be totally feminine and enjoy the beauty of lace and frills. Here we are trying so hard to compete in the man's world, we forget who we are as women and we even are afraid to look feminine and enjoy L- A- C- E or some frills. Wear it the correct way, you can look dynamite. Combine lace and leather and you get a look that is sexy or classic.

Dare to be different and dare to be a woman.

Guys With Cuffs

Forget about conservative guys! No matter how old you are, you still can look super cool in casual. And here is how you can be in tune with today's style for men in comfort and class. Be in the NOW!

Johnny Depp: Women's Heart Throb

When you are wearing a collar T, dress it up with a classic eye wear, (because you look so intelligently sexy, women just love that...)  your LEATHER i-cuffs, because the leather strap makes it sooo ever so animal manly, a couple of rings and forget about shaving for a day! Ha and you got a sexy, stylish look... no need to tug the T in, wear a dark grey, or blue jeans, and leather shoes or sandals.

Make sure you manicure your nails and toes and add a coupe of cool rings at the last and forth finger, left or right.. either way is fine. It really makes a difference for the styling.

Casual can bring in the word slob in, so beware. Make sure you smell nice, no cheap perfume and brush up good. Quality is everything! You may be a nerd, but a cool intelligent on that is attractive to women.... heh...

Bring Back Black

Love Summer and enjoying the last bits. Getting ready for fall and we are going to have fun with black. Black, the absence of all colors and the pillar of all. If you can't think of anything to wear, throw on a black piece of clothing, all black, with a neutral or a color and you will look dynamite. It hides, it shapes and it stands out. Black is the foundation of all colors as white is the opposite. Have fun and experiment with it.

 

The subtlety of black comes with different textures like black leather with lace, or black with satin, or black denim with silk or leather. That makes all the difference and creates mystical interest. Style is about quality so adhere to details and designs. For details make the product... or the person.

>The BIG DON'Ts

You know the skinnies are trending now. If you are going to wear tights, or skinnies that are not of thicker material, you need to cover your butt area... just wear a longer T or a loose shirt makes a world of difference in style.

I cannot tell you how important a well sewn shirt is.
It makes all the difference when simplicity is shown at her best.

Its Time to Eat Right and Exercise Right

Being beautiful starts by evolving internally. Whatever shape or color you are in, accept who you are and improve what you do not like. Everything you want to be is all about making a strong decision about where you want to be. The rest will come together as you embark on your journey. While you are at it... don't forget to have fun with fashion and accessories. Yes I say... Fashion and Style. For as long as you combine the style and accessories together you can still look dynamite in whatever form you are in. So check out my "to die for" pins at: SHAMIKO.STYLES

Pearls go well with a simple t-shirt, jeans and a blazer or a black leather jacket.  Try this style out.

Someone at my gym just noticed that I have lost some weight and asked me what I did. And no... I did not get surgery! hahaha...  It's doing hard core cardio for an hour, 5 times a week for 6 months and eating right. Meaning you are not to starve yourself and yes, you can still have your chocolates.

So I was at 150lb and lost 5lb in 6 months... it sounds slow right? It is not a radical change that I wanted but something I can do and enjoy forever. I wanted this to be a lifestyle for me. So I figured that changing my eating style is the key to good health and weight loss.

For me, I have one good complete meal (fish, vegetables and carbs), during the day for lunch. The rest of the day I snack on liquids, fruits, and nuts. Once a week I have a whole bar of Ritz hazelnut chocolate, or half the quart of ice cream. It depends on my mood. I am the kind of person when I want something I go all out. So Fridays are my day of treats... and then, Sat is the day that I know I have to exercise it off. So as long as you are moving and perspiring, you know you are losing your calories.

The real secret is to eat enough that you do not expand your waistline, be conscience of what food you put into your body - Your body is YOUR TEMPLE. Keep away from fats like fried foods, cookies/cakes/curry puffs/pastries, oily food, fatty organ parts, bad carbs, etc. Enjoy the good stuff you are eating and whatever you put in, make sure you work it out too.

There you go. It is simple, free advise and it works.
It takes time to get results. There is no simple or fast way of losing weight. And that is the REAL truth. Meanwhile, have fun with the fashion and style. For no matter what size you are in, you can still look pretty and beautiful.

When you have the real beauty coming from within, people will see it more than the outward appearance. What is the inner beauty? Well, try to live your life with love and happy.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Today's Chic is Black on Black

Skinny pants are great but it got to be stretchy and comfortable.. You got to wear it with ankle or knee-hi boots for the slimming effect. Wear it with a white simple Ts up to the hip, throw on a nice soft leather jacket, fingerless gloves and a great leather handbag... and you got the look of 2014 Black on Black.

A T-Shirt is not just a t-shirt. Be aware of what graphics you are showing off because it brands who you are and what you are all about. Here is a cool T-Shirt that is super cool. More T-shirt designers should think of the body when designing the graphics, are you complimenting the body type? How can you make a T-shirt different and stand above the rest? Bad words on the Ts just does not cut it!
