Tangerine and Turqoise, what a lovely name for colours isn’t it? And I really love how these 2 colours looks together too. Would you wear such contrasting colours in one look?

I love the richness of this pink top. But it made me realise, I haven’t been wearing pink in a verry long time! I used to have this bright hot pink trousers that I found in one of my charity shops hunt. Oohh, I really should look for the pics of me wearing them trousers! :D

Anyway, would you wear this bright a pink?

Trendy Thursday: This is how it’s done

Ever since I started this Trendy Thursday category, where previously I showed a few of my hijab styles, I have been receiving e-mails and questions asking how did I wrap my hijab/headscarves.

I did wrote a few instructions, that was lost in translation as I am not very good at giving/writing instructions.  I promised to do a video, but until today I haven’t bought one (because I am waiting for my old one to really die first).

So for those of you who has been asking and curious, I will share with you this particular wrap that is almost similar as mine. It is made by Sabrina of Sliceoflemon.com.

She’s so good at this and she did it so neatly! What made it really unique is because this how-to videos also helps hijabis who wants to wear their earrings with their hijabs. And I loooove my earrings so this video is perfect for me. :D

The difference is she doesn’t use a brooch to secure the scarves, but rather tied it using her hand at the back of the head in a bun. This method is actually better as it will protect your scarves from brooch marks, but you really do have to practise this. I used a brooch, that’s why I know about the brooch marks ;) . And now I am practising the ‘tying the bun’ method :D

She also wraps it quite nicely around the head, which I did not do sometimes. For me, I normally just flip the ends (I make it even length) over both my shoulders. I have a more messy relaxed style :P

Anyway, do check the video out here. Do let it load first to ensure smooth viewing. I hope this helps :)

New addition to Elwarda blogs! March 26, 2009

Ok so I have been enjoying myself too much with the discovery of Polyvore and I have been creating too many sets and I am impatient to wait for every Thursday to post it (since I am so neurotic I have this rules you see, Fashion only on Thursday, that’s why I call it Trendy Thursday).

Anyway, I created another blog (yes, yes I looove blogging :P ), called Elwarda Style. I will publish all my Polyvore sets here. And perhaps whatever fashion thingy that I found great and useful. This blog is meant for images and pictures only. So If you are the type of person who can’t stand my wordiness – head here instead ;)

I have a tendency to dress like a hippie. Age somehow has mellowed me down. But this boho-chic inspired set  is something that I would definitely wear still ;)

 

Dusty Pink March 5, 2009

Trendy Thursday: Dusty Pink

This set is specially created with one of my blog reader in mind, Sameera. She requested that I did a few ‘pink’ sets to encourage her to wear more pink. So this is one set that I call Dusty Pink.

I understand some women’s challenge in trying to wear a new colour. What would be a good a trick is to combine it with a more neutral or subdued colour. In this set, I chose peachy cream and off white colours to tone down the pink.

I hope you like this one Sameera ;)
