When it comes to Spring makeup trends, we usually think natural skin, peachy cheeks and coral lips, right? Well, not these season, when soft hues are replaced by fine lines, smoky shadows, flashes of color and vivid red lips. But pastel shades aren't completely excluded.. there's still a lot of baby blue color that comes in all forms of makeup - from eyeliner and eyeshadow to blue eyebrows (yes, colored eyebrows are a thing now) and baby blue negative space nails. Skin remains supernatural, but there's a return of red lips this season. You can choose from bright corals to vivid reds or go dark and sexy with statement flaming lips that we saw at D&G fashion show. Eyes are going crazy too! There's a lot of playing with different eyeliner colors, orange shadows and golden sparkles. And if you want to go over the top - draw some stars around your eyes to give your look that playful festive vibe.

And the hair? There's a big contrast in trends. On one hand is all about the undone and messy look and on the other hand there are sleek ponytails and braids with a twist. Oh yes, a lot is going on at the hair & makeup department this season so to not get lost in all these trends, take a look at these photos and decide which ones suit you the most.

What do you think about this trends? Are you a fan of bold eyes or prefer bright red lips? Let me know in the comments :) .. and have an awesome weekend!

It's been 14 years since Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake appeared in their iconic denim outfits at the American Music Awards and since then we kept their looks in our minds as an example on how NOT to dress.. ever. But then the bloggers came and 'invented' street style, which means playing with different styles and pieces and so double denim trend was born (which makes a great example to never say never!). As you can see, fashion rules are meant to be broken and even though wearing denim on denim goes against everything we've been thought is correct about putting an outfit together, it has become a huge trend all the A-listers have already adopt.

Putting the denim look together can seem intimidating, but trust me, once you start experimenting with different pieces, you'll see that it can be very much exciting! Denim on denim looks offer infinite possibilities, since there aren't (almost) any rules to follow. The secret of creating a good denim on denim look is balance. You need to know what's flattering to your body and pay attention to proportions. The rest is just a game of mixing and matching.

So whether you're all new to the all-denim-everything game or are already an expert in creating matchy denim looks, here are a few ideas on how to pull off an effortlesly put-together look.

DENIM NEWBIE

DENIM LOVER
For all of you that are confident enought to dig in the double denim trend, there are some tips to keep in mind. Use different shades of denim to highligh specific body parts - if you want to bring attention to your upper part, choose lighter shade of denim than on your lower part. And if you want to hide some extra pounds, go for darker shades, which have slimming effect. Shades and weight of the fabric should vary so play with different denim colors and washes to create a modern, up-to-date look.

Style it up with pointy-toe pumps and chic silk neck scarf or add a little bright bag and pair it with bold red lipstick. You can even switch your boyfriend jeans to look more elegant. Pair them with chic sandals, add a thin interesting belt and finish up with statement necklace.

Style it down with flats, big black bag, no accessories and natural makeup.

DENIM EXPERT
All you denim experts out there that have already tried multiple denim on denim variations but think that's still not enough, go even further and try triple denim! Upgrade your usual combination of skinny jeans and chambray shirt with denim vest or tie a denim jacket around your waist.

Play with these prints and accessories to make your denim outfit look modern & chic:

• animal prints

• white & camel colors

• bright clutch

• pointy-toe pumps

• statement necklace

• silk neck scarf

• red lipstick

Combine dirrerent shapes, shades and washes, but whatever you do, DON'T:

• wear denim accessories, like denim hats, handbags or cowboy boots and Western belts (unless you want to look like a character from the Westerns)

• wear patterns

• and mostly, don't end up looking like Justin and Britney in 2001

Now tell me, are you a newbie when it comes to denim game or have you already been practicing this trend for a while? Can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Cannes festival is not only te most prominent film festival there can be, but it's also the most fashionable. Celebrities flaunt in the most gorgeous looks on the red carpet and I can never get tired of looking at all those breathtaking gowns. Fashion surpluses reach their highlight at the amfAR gala event, when the red carpet is overflown with the most gorgeous gowns I've ever seen.

This year a parade of models competed for the title of the best dressed and judging by the numerous articles and photos on the social media, first place definitely goes to Kendall Jenner, who flaunted in the amazing purple dress by Calvin Klein. Even though she is the most talked about, other models weren't lag behind. Chanel Iman stunned in statement plunging ballgown by Zuhair Murad and Joan Smalls wowed in long black Givenchy dress, sleek back hair and red lips. Of course we mustn't neglect their bonde model collegues. Karolina Kurkova took our breaths away in soft pink princess gown, while Anja Rubik went bold with royal blue luminescent dress.

Unfortunatelly not all the models have a good taste in fashion. While Karlie Kloss (who usually chooses all the wrong outfits) surprised me with her sparkly silver Tom Ford dress, Bella Hadid and Adriana Lima totally dissapointed. Bella's dress reminds me of Robin Hood's shirt and Adriana's black cut-out dress looks very cheap on her. Oh and there's also Nina Agdal who apparently borrowed her dress from Borat.

However most of the models really proved their exquisite taste in fashion and left notable mark at the amfAR gala event. Take a look at the outfits and choose your favourite!

Since I get a lot of questions from my friends asking me for advice about online shopping, I decided to do a full blog post about it and give you all the information and advice that I have. It's not like I'm an online shopping queen, but I have quite a few experiences (good AND bad) that I've learned along the way. I still remember my first online purchase. I ordered two party dresses from Asos (that were luckily the perfect fit) and was so excited when they arrived. Unfortunatelly after a few purchases later I didn't have such luck and had to return many items that didn't fir or weren't quite the way I expected. These experiences tought me that even though online shopping seems like the easiest way to buy clothes (you just click and buy straight from your bed), it can be very tricky. You don't know the size measurments, you can't try the item on yourself, you can't touch and feel the fabric, etc.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY COSTS
Before you even start scrolling through the product pages of a particular online store, make sure to check if they even ship to your country. Under the Shipping section you'll find the list of coutries they ship to and information about the delivery time and the shipping cost. If you're from Europe and are buying something from abroad, pay attention to tax fees, which can sometimes be even higher than your purchase!


COLOR
Even though the color of an item might seem obvious from the picture, always read the name of the color that's written in the descripiton box. It might appear bright pink on the photo, but the description would say pale pink, which is quite a difference, no? I've learned that's always better to belive what color is written other than what you see on the photo.

SIZE GUIDE
Of course you know which size you're wearing, but just in case always check the size guide, since measurments can vary from store to store. At Asos you'll find the size guide at the bottom of the product description:

Asos makes it really easy to hit the right sizes. They have measurements converted in different units (UK, US, EU), depending from which country you are and they also give you a very good and extensive description of measurments and sizes + explain how to measure yourself. Unfortunatelly, there's a difference in sizes between different brands, which you usually have to learn the hard way (like I did).

 

CATWALK
Asos has this great option where you can see the item on the runway (you'll find the catwalk button right under the photos). I always watch it so that I can see the actual lenght and width of the item and to see how the fabric acts on the body. It's also great to get a more realistic view of the color. Pay attention to the details - how the jacket fits in the shoulders, how short is the dress and if those cut-outs don't reveal too much.

 
DISCOUNTS
It's always good to get a discount, right? There are a few websites that update coupon codes for a particular online shop, which I think it's worth to check out. The easiest way is to Google '(name of the store) coupon codes' and hopefully you'll find something useful. Online shops also offer discounts here and there (especially on different holidays), so make sure to check their social media pages before you hit the Buy button.

RETURN POLICY
Since online shopping can be risky, it's good to have a guarantee that you can return the item if it turns out to be a misfit. Asos makes it very easy to return the item you don't want. They already send you a Returns Note with your purchase, which you just fill out (indicate the reason of return) and send back to them within 28 days. Keep in mind that in this case an item musn't be worn or damaged.

 

PAYMENT
Now comes the most unpleasant part of online shopping - placing the order. When it comes to payment, I think Paypal is the easiest, fastest and safest option there can be. You just need to register on their site and once you do that, you just select the Paypal option at the payment section, click Approve order twice and there you go, it's done. Here's a very helpful and colorful description on how to use Paypal.


And that sums up my full guide to online shopping: clothes. I hope I've given you some useful tips that will come in handy next time you're buying clothes online. Now that you've got to know Asos, don't forget to check out other great online destinations that offer chic, trendy and affordable clothing:

• Nastygal.com 

 
Now I want to hear your online shopping experiences - do you have any extra advice? I'd love to hear them! Share them with me and others in the comments. Happy shopping! ;)

THE most extravagant fashion event of the year has happened again and I cannot stop admiring all the incredible dresses from the gala. Met Ball makes me sooo excited every year, since celebrities wear the most exquisite haute-couture gowns. This year creme de la creme of fashion, music and film industry gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to toast the Costume Institute's latest ehibit, China: Through The Looking Glass. The evening was in the name of chinoserie and celebrities had to implement chinese artistic influences in their outfits. Some of them did a pretty good job and some of them totally failed..

PRINCESS OF CHINA
There's always that one dress at the gala that attracts the most attention and is talked about years after the event. This time the honor definitely goes to Rihanna and her massive haute-couture dress (can we even call it a dress?), that took the designer Guo Pei two years to handmade it! Even though she couldn't walk in it without any help and despite many memes that highlighted its comparison to an omelette or pizza, the gown definitely shot the internet down and will for sure be remembered years ahead.

THE NAKED TEAM
Forget about the orange being the new black. According to these three divas, naked is the new black! Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and J.LO. all rocked very revealing dresses with carefully placed beads and feathers that demand wearing no panties.. doesn't get sexier than this!

Queen B made us lose our breaths in custom Givenchy beaded gown, that was THE hottest for sure, but failed to express any of the chinese art. Kim's dress was a white version of Beyonce's purple gown that she wore to the gala two years ago, so nothing new here. Jenny from the block was the only one of the naked team that took the dresscode seriously and wrapped a red chinese dragon around her body, which, unfortunatelly, didn't got the attention she wanted.

Are you a celebrity? Perhaps single with no friends and are afraid to attend the gala alone? No worries, here's when designers come in handy! They will create a custom dress only for you (their muse), pose with you on the red carpet and brag with your flawless appearance. And if you two really bond, they could even kneel down and kiss your palms in front of everyone. Oh yes, seems like designers and their muses is the new big trend. It's interesting how they all kinda cordinated their outfits but unfortunatelly none of them left any big remarks (at least not good ones). Maybe this partnership isn't such a good idea after all..

COUPLES
Oh, this pretty little thing called love.. even though it's nice to see celebrities with their better halves on the red carpet all sweet and sugary staring at each other, I think they should spend more time thinking about the outfits than about each other. Some really didn't understand the dresscode.. I mean what was Olivia thinking accessorizing her dress with slate gloves and a turban-style headband? And Amal.. if the dress was made specifically for her, they could do a better job. It's just too much going on - the embelished bodice and tires of red fabric look kind of cheap on her, even though it's Maison Margiela.

And the best dressed copule of the night? Definitely Poppy + James, who looked like a celebrity royalty. Poppy matched the red carpet in her plunging red Marchesa dress with poppies over the torso and beautifully flowing skirt and James went for a classical black suit with an elegant bow tie. Now this is what I call THE perfect-looking-couple.

BESTIES
Friends who attend the red carpet together, stay together, right? Now we're used to see models like Karlie Kloss & Gigi and Bella & Hailey together, but what about Miley & Zoe Kravitz? I surely did not see that friendship coming. But it you think about it, it makes sense, since they're both rebels and have similar taste in fashion. While they opted for a very edgy look (and totally missed the point of a theme), models flaunt their looong legs in short bodycon dresses. And let's stop for a moment to admire Reese's ah-mazing outfit. Simple yet very elegant red Jason Wu dress perfecly hugged her curves and let the precious diamonds around her neck really stand out.

WTFs
You know I love a good fashion fail, so let's take a moment to cherish these boring, unflattering and ridiculous outfits. From Anne Heathaway aka the human-size Oscar throphy to Chloe Sevigny, who took the idea of chinoserie too seriously and Solange Knowles, whose dress looked like an inside of a shell. There's no doubt that some stars really have rich imagination.. or just a very bad taste.
