Hooked on the Ballerina Trend: The Pieces that Make Up My Closet
Growing up, I used to have the dream of becoming a ballerina. There was a time I’d invent a dance of my own or start imitating the prima ballerinas I’d see on TV. My parents enjoyed my shows, I loved the attention I was getting, so logically I kept insisting on ballet lessons.
I still remember the first day at the ballet studio vividly, my mum taking me there, carrying my cute equipment. Instead of being afraid of the challenge like most girls there, I was all excited and couldn’t wait to start practicing.

I mean, I used to be a blind fashion follower, so naturally, whenever I saw shoes that I liked, I made sure to have them in my closet, without paying too much attention to the features they had, or they didn’t have as a matter of fact.

There’s no doubt that uniforms are powerful tools for most businesses, but they are an especially important factor for hospitality businesses that deal with serving food or drinks to guests. Unlike “softer” businesses, like those in the retail or corporate industry, uniforms used in pubs, cafes, and restaurants need to be as hard working as their environment is. On top of that, they also need to be attractive – considering how great presentation is important for making a good, lasting first impression. As such, choosing the right uniform for your hospitality business can be a lot more complicated than it seems.

Bamboo Clothing: Reasons to Upgrade Your Wardrobe with Organic Pieces
Have you heard about this remarkable organic fabric that provides so many environmental and health benefits? I’m talking about bamboo – the best thing since sliced bread. To many people the idea of wearing bamboo on their bodies can sound a bit unusual. After all, isn’t bamboo this sturdy material that floors, furniture and even bridges are made of? Yes, it is. But bamboo is also a very versatile natural resource which can be transformed into fabric that’s unbelievably soft, comfortable and healthy for the planet and its inhabitants. Here are just some of the benefits you can expect to receive if you enrich your wardrobe with organic, bamboo pieces.
Supreme Comfort Everyone Can Afford
Life’s too short to put up with uncomfortable, scratchy clothes. But no average person has the money to buy high-end luxurious fabrics their whole life. So, if you’re looking for the softest and most comfortable fabric which also comes with a reasonable price tag, bamboo is the answer. Once you discover the luscious feel of bamboo on your skin, you will never want to go back to cotton or a different fabric again. Whether it’s bamboo womens tops, baby clothes, or men’s socks, this fabric offers supreme comfort for the whole family.
Extremely Breathable and Temperature Regulating
But what are comfy clothes if they make us feel sweaty and clogged up inside? Most clothes today are only fairly breathable. And if they’re breathable, then they are not that great in keeping us warm. And this is where bamboo beats every other fabric. Clothes like bamboo womens tops, leggins, and underwear are extremely breathable and moisture-absorbent. If the clothes your body comes into close contact with are made of bamboo, it means your skin will get stay dry and fresh longer. Incredibly useful if you’re busy and you have no time to change clothes throughout the day.
But not only is bamboo breathable, it’s also highly adaptive to the body’s heat. The structure of its fibres allows bamboo to keep the body refreshingly cool when it’s hot, but also cosy and warm during colder temperatures. This makes bamboo clothes unique pieces which you can wear all year round without having to worry about temperatures.
Anti-bacterial and Hypo-allergenic
We spend the most of our days in clothes, so naturally you’d want only healthy fabrics to touch your skin. But chemicals are commonly used as part of the manufacturing process of many fabrics, and can remain around even when the fabric is transformed into clothes. All that moving around creates friction that unleashes the toxins which can cause various irritations if you have particularly sensitive skin. Prolonged exposure to these toxins is even found to increase the risk of skin cancer.
On the other hand, the production of bamboo fabrics does not involve any chemicals whatsoever. Bamboo has the inherent ability to be anti-bacterial and pest-resistant which is why it doesn’t need to be chemically treated. The plant itself has a natural protective agent called “bamboo kun” and most of it remains preserved even after the plant has been transformed into fabric.

Every woman knows that a good handbag is something that doesn’t come around very often.

5 Ladies Fashion Accessories You’ll Wear All Winter
While fashion in general is an ever evolving matter, there are some pieces of clothing and accessories that you simply need to pay more attention to and really invest in both time and money. These are mainly pieces that you would combine with all your clothes and shoes and would consider wearing on multiple occasions. Talking about winter season, these would include your winter equipment for cold weather such as a scarf, gloves, hat, the never-getting-old poncho and a good quality handbag winter style.
However, just because this is a set of ladies fashion accessories winter can’t pass without, it doesn’t mean you should get whatever you first stumble upon in stores or online offers. Instead, decide you’re going to invest a little more this time in the name of quality, durability and timeless sophistication.
1. Scarf
A good quality scarf made of cashmere or high quality cotton is the type of accessory you first think of when you leave the house for any occasion; whether it’s to protect your neck from the cold wind or to place it over your shoulders along with a nice dress for a night out, we all reach for it. You should have exactly three scarf styles in your ladies fashion accessory closet: one mono-coloured (make it either black, beige or red), one with print of your choice (leopard, flowers or something similar) and one completely decorated with either letters, geometric figures or some other colourful design.
2. Gloves
The only type of gloves that is worth investing a considerable amount of money in, are leather gloves. Leather goes well with everything and every style, even sport elegance. Make sure you get two pairs: one mono-coloured, preferably black or dark brown, and one colourful, maybe red or beige. General rule of styling: don’t go for colours with short life span on things you want to last for a lifetime.
3. A hat
While the beanie is the all-times accessory connected with winter, it’s not the type of hat you can wear as the ultimate style element. As a styling addition to your combination, you need a wide brim hat; one made of a warm, cozy material that screams winter warmth, preferably in black or beige. The hat needs to be easy to combine with your handbag and shoes, so don’t wander too much with the colours.
4. A poncho
The poncho has always been present on the fashion scene; it’s just that these last few seasons it’s a little more trending than ever. Wear it over a very warm knitwear, or over a leather jacket; the poncho’s purpose is to provide a stylish and very fashionable cover as well as protection from wind and cold weather. Have in mind you’ll have to combine the poncho with your leather jacket, your boots and handbag, so make sure you pick one in beige or black and use it for more than one season.
5. The handbag
No confusion here – a good quality handbag with a sturdy construction and a good material like leather for instance, is a no-discussion topic when it comes to investing in clothes. Just make sure you pick one in a colour you can combine with most of your shoes, jackets and other accessories and do not compromise on the quality just to save a few dollars. Trust me, that would be a terrible waste of money.
