Style Segment: From 1920 to 1930's


Style set it's new boundary-less, more feminine and fashionable self during this period of time, women started to centre more around personal grooming as a plus for fashion. This became a hit since Hollywood started presenting motion pictures with some of our favourite fashionistas of the time.

The magazines Vogue and Harper's Bazaar saw this trait coming and inclined their products into developing fashion statements and slowly became women's most read magazines until this era. Women preferred them because of the tips and tricks they showed in how to achieve the Hollywood Glamour that every girl/woman desired.


During this time period, skirts, suits and bodices where so in and the hem fell from about an inch beneath the knee, one stylist that introduced it was Chanel. The style became baggy, not that much of form fitting as the previous style we saw during the decade of the 1910 all the way to 1920. The zipper began to be utilize more in the latter part of the decade.

During the late years of the decade, in 1928, the style changed again making the hem to the knee and leading to the style of 1930.

Women gained the right to vote and with such liberty they began to carve their way in society, more liberal thoughts run through their minds and (as being a woman my self too) it was fun to experiment with new things that came in the way. The style had to become more comfortable without loosing the class and the status of ladies.

We can never forget about the shoes, the piece that make the outfit fall together smoothly. T-straps where the most used type of shoe because they provided security while dancing the Charleston  and pointy toes and medium to high heel where perfect for the deed.


I hope you guys liked this post, it's always interesting to know how style has changed and what influenced those changes.

Candle-mania

Hey Lovelies!

I love burning candles, I love the smell the give to the area that I live in, my room is my zen place, is where I get the best moments of tranquillity and where I spend the majority of my time. I am currently loving the chocolate scent candles, they give me that super sweet and bitter smell of dark milky chocolate that I love and sometimes indulge in.

Here is a picture of the candle I am currently burning in my room.

Polish Review: Revlon's Charming

Hey guys!

I recently bought a new shade from revlon and it is super cute. A pastel-y lilac colour called Charming and it is so gorge that I can't stop staring at my nails and of thinking that the colour looks so good on.

I feel that my Revlon Polish collections has been growing and I am proud of it because they are great quality for just about a couple dollars. I love the lasting that they are and how smoothly they apply. This shade has rapidly become one of my favourite nail polishes of summer and spring because it is a pastel and for the hotter seasons it's better to make a statement with it. Now that in the US and the northern hemisphere in general is starting to be warmer, pastels are a must have for every wardrobe if you like to look young and breezy and girl-y.

Here is a picture of Revlon's Charming


As you can see, it's very very light and summery and flirty great for those spring/summery date nights. 

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Happy Monday


Hey everyone!

I hope this start of the week has been great for you! It started nicely to me, we began by cleaning my mum's closet and reorganizing it. It was nice to select clothes for charity and also to make it a better space for my mum to have and feel it nice and..well...better organized (for the lack of vocabulary today) I feel I am so tired and I have already began some of my (late) spring cleaning, making room for new stuff and for more school books (i feel i start swimming in papers every semester)

I hope you have a great week and a beautiful Monday :)

*keep calm and eat a cupcake*
