Fashion Geek turns TWO on 27th Dec 2013!!!!


Fashion Geek Turns TWO this month!!!! I'm so excited! It has been tow years of having fun writing about what I love, being inspired by the many fashion Trends, Accessories and all things Fashion. I never dreamed that I would still be writing Fashion Geek with as much enthusiasm and excitement now as I still had when I began writing this blog.  I wrote my first post on 27/12/2011 and I have never looked back. Fashion has always inspired me and I love discovering what is new out there. I love Designers and the kinds of clothes that they bring out every season. Fashion Geek has been like the best friend of fashion where I can pour out my thoughts without worrying whether they will be wrong or right. After all Fashion is all about how you feel, what you want at that moment, the kind of emotions that the piece of cloth or fabric brings out and whether you are satisfied with what you have put on. Just simple pleasures that you get in Fashion.
These two years have been categorized by a lot of milestones, I know I would have wanted more than that but I have written Over 300 posts and the best part is that my blog hit the 100,000 page views mark. And it has all been made possible by you my readers whom without, Fashion Geek would have been just an idea in my head and not a really great blog that I enjoy writing and even reading. Sometimes I come across a post and I'm like huh, I had forgotten about you completely! But I have fun with it all so.....
HappY BirthdaY FashioN GeeK!

Decorating your Home For Christmas


During Christmas we all want to fill our homes with the cheers and spirit of Christmas through home decor.  Christmas is a time that you get to spend with your family some who have been away for some reason or the other. You therefore want to create a space that is filled with festivities, warmth and love because Christmas time does that…brings everyone to gather. Decorating should not have to be a headache or something that you dread doing rather it should be the time to bring everyone and have them be involved in the decorating of the home.
The Christmas tree is usually the center point of the whole festivities therefore you will do good to find one before all the last minute rushes and you end up with leftovers or less than impressive tree. There are many varieties of trees that range in color, size and even shape. People have moved from the traditional green tree and are even embracing the red or even white Christmas tree. So don’t be afraid to venture from the traditional. The tree can be put in the garden but most people prefer it in the living room especially in corners or around fireplaces.
The windows should not be left out as you can decorate them with wreathes and red and green ribbons in various shapes and sizes. The quantity does not matter as long as you leave space for air to get into the house. Vases can be used to place some decorations on the window sills or even the tables. Wreathes and ribbons can be also be hung on chandeliers if you have on or just the coiling and the normal lighting ensuring that they will not catch any fire if the lights are put ion.

The tree will obviously have the Christmas lights adorning it either around or from up tom down just depending on your tastes. The lights can also be stuck on the walls or draped in a nice was or create patterns and shapes using the lights from the ceiling or walls. Decorating your home for Christmas should be fun and can be done by the whole family, just have fun commemorate your traditions or choose to go modern either way Christmas Deco is easy and has no rules except…Enjoy the moments!! Sample some Christmas Deco Ideas for this Christmas.

The Watches can even be studded, have charms in them or just simply have leather straps, it's like wearing two trends in one! Here are some cool Leather Bracelet Watches to inspire you to get one.

Be Rock Chic with Studs and Spikes


Don't be afraid of Studs or Spikes in your life. Studs and spikes have this rocker chic feel that you can incorporate in your wardrobe. They can be worn on leather and even denim jackets. You can wear studded neck piece, bangles and even rings. Studs and spikes on shoes are the most popular and they are mostly on heels, stilettos while some are on flat shoes.
You can decide to go slow with studs by carrying a studded or spiked handbag or clutch bag. The studs can be as many or as few as you prefer, for instance the studs can be at the back of the jacket or even just at the shoulders for that rock illusion. Studs and spikes are a great way to dress when going for a concert or even a date. The possibilities are endless you decide how to wear the studs and spikes trend!

Wide brim Hats are not only a necessity when it comes to staying in the sun,they are a fashion accessory that can be worn to the beach or even to an event like a wedding or afternoon tea party with the girls.Since they are so versatile and colorful always pick one that matches your outfit.You can wear one that is made of the same pattern as your outfit or contrasting. Wide brim Hats can be made from cotton material, woven using sisal or even velvet material. They can be accessorized by adding a ribbon around the brim,tying a scarf around it or adding jewellery to the sides of it.Due to their size and design,the Wide Brim Hats should only be worn for informal functions or going for vacation in Tropical places. Add a touch of class to your hat by adding cute sunglasses and the Hats go really well especially with Maxi Dresses.

Shoe Cleavage...What's it about? Hot or Not?

Shoe Cleavage or also known as Toe Cleavage is a term I heard on a daytime show where the guest was introducing new shoes for the fall. This style is where your toes are not fully in the shoe but visible. For me it looks like the shoes are not the right size while some look like the shoe is  a torture chamber. If you can find a way of making the Shoe/Toe cleavage work for you like a sexy peek-a-boo of your toes,well and good go for it.What is your opinion do you like this so called trend or is it just a fad or an excuse to wear shoes that don't fit?

Model Chanel Iman on the Runway

Chanel Iman Robinson, known commonly today as simply Chanel Iman, is the youngest and most successful African-American High Fashion Model of her time. The Victoria’s Secret "Angel” is well-known for having positive energy and endless legs that have walked countless runways around the world. 
As a child, Chanel studied fashion magazines, striking poses in front of stuffed animals and throwing dress up parties with her friends. From the earliest moments of her modeling career, she had "it," and it showed. Following her 13th birthday in December 2003, Chanel's aunt brought her to several modeling agencies in the Los Angeles area. The reaction to her talent was immediate, and emphatic. In January 2004, after fielding dozens of offers, Chanel and her family decided to sign with the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency. Just a year and a half after signing, Chanel went on to win third place in Ford's "Supermodel of the World" contest. Although they didn’t know it at the time, the modeling world would never be the same.
"A Model from Day 1" wrote Eric Wilson, featuring Chanel in the New York Times. That was the first of many articles that followed her career foreshadowing pieces in the Los Angeles Times (Image), the New York Post (Page Six) and TIME magazine (where she was featured on the cover of Style and Design).

Would you wear the Harem Pants that are still trending



Harem pants or harem trousers, also known as parachute pants, are women's baggy long pants tapered at the ankle, with side flaps on the hip that button at the waist area.
Harem pants, which originated in India, are like a cross between a skirt and a pair of skinny jeans. The legs, from the knees down, are fitted. The crotch area is loose and baggy as if it were cut to be a skirt.Traditional harem pants can be extremely large and baggy, with a very wide and full fit, very roomy, loose fitting, over-sized, puffy, spacious, with elastic in waist and at ankles, and with the crotch below the knee almost to the ground.
Harem pants are commonly worn with a pleated skirt — a short skirt that covers the top portion of the harem pants. Both harem pants and pleated skirts are commonly used in belly dancing. There are resources that show various forms of pleated skirts and explain how they are created.
They've also emerged as a "modern" version of harem pants made popular in the late 1980s by MC Hammer and thus known as hammer pants. They are intended to be made more fashionable and require less fabric.
Similar pants are also known as dimije, tshalvar, schalwar, salwar kameez, kaccha, patiala salwar, shintijan, sirwal, sharovary, Turkish trousers, aladdin pants, balloon pants, drop crotch pants, pantaloons, zouave, pluderhose and pumphose.

Bachelor Pad Design Ideas

Bachelor pads have a reputation of being either extremely stark or on the mismatched messy side, so we have put together this bag of tricks to help refine the man den. The home entertainment zone is ever present in a bachelor pad, so get it right with enough stylish storage to house all your gadgets, and always hide away ugly wiring. If you’re not a collector of knickknacks, textured wall panels add personality to a living space, though do try to break up collections of books with some softer forms to create a more visually pleasing shelf display. Plenty of shelving for music and magazines keeps the place tidy and organized, and smart storage hides away junk in a flash, choose furniture of just a few shades for a pulled together cohesive look.

The Hottest Nail Trend in Hollywood is the Almond-Shaped Nails

The new trend in nail fashion this season is the almond shaped nails trend spotted on a couple of Holly wood celebs.From  Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens  to Kesha and Bella Thorne these celebs have been seen sporting the shape.
The sleek, rounded-off digits of dazzling lengths fingernails have also made their presence known in designers quarters like Kate Spade, Badgley Mischka, and Nicholas K have all showcased the delightful trend.
With the Almond shaped nails you can choose to have them in a plain color or do nail art on them. To achieve the almond shaped nails, the nail is filed away at the sides and softly pointed at the tip. This trend is nor for those who have really soft nails that may crack but you can file away the chipped parts to rectify it. Another disadvamtage of th almod shaped nails trend is tahat the shape does not allow nails to grow to their maximum length if the is what you are looking to achieve.
However everything has advantages and disadvantages therefore you can choose to rock this trend because it is in season and looks great with that feminine shape f an almond.
Are you a fan of Hollywood's new nail obsession?

The perfect outfit would be a pair of jeans whether skinny, distressed or simple, pair it with a chiffon blouse and booties or if heels are too much you can opt for flats and a cute bag. A scarf for a cold day would be great or a boyfriend jacket.

Pink Umbrella


It feels like I have loved you for a thousand years
My heart beats fast
As I walk towards you veil on my face
You stand alone at the end of the isle
All the doubts I have seem to disappear
I have adored you all my life
All the beauty that I know
All the happiness I have experienced
Every breath that I have taken
Every hour spent searching
Has led me to this moment

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall 2013

"Jean Paul Gaultier took a turn to the wild side with his Fall 2013 Haute Couture collection. With models' hair twisted sky-high and painted with leopard spots, animal prints along with sculpted volume were the themes of the season. The overall effect had more than a nod and a wink to the '80s with Mugler-esque quilting on jackets, oversize shoulders that would look at home on Grace Jones, and patterned tights with every look.
Standouts include a cobalt leather dress with a wide belt and exaggerated hips and a frothy bridal trouser suit on Liu Wen."

"Jean Paul Gaultier Fall Couture – Feeling in a feline mood, French designer Jean Paul Gaultier sent out a collection of big cat inspired looks for his fall 2013 haute couture collection. Known for his sense of camp, Gaultier did not shy away from color nor print with his latest couture outing. Models strutted the catwalk in body-hugging silhouettes covered in spotted fur patterns and leopard print stockings.
Gaultier also found inspiration in the clowns of cinema, citing references such as “The Clowns” by Italian director Federico Fellini as well as David Bowie’s “Ashes to Ashes” music video. The circus influence can be seen in bright, circular patterns found on dresses, cone-shaped hats and over-exaggerated trouser proportions. Still, it’s not all fun and games; Gaultier’s attention to craftsmanship is evident by the impeccable embroidery and shapes presented." by Joanna...fashiongonerogue.com

Fresh from causing major palpitations with her platinum-selling single “Heart Attack,” and smashing records with her fourth studio album—Demi Lovato graces the August cover of FASHION magazine. Photographed in sunny Los Angeles at Milk Studios, Lovato spoke to features editor Elio Iannacci on the highs and lows of her career as well as her views on songwriting, relationships and her return as a judge on X-Factor this fall. Here is a sneek peek of our cover story, which hits newsstands on July 8, 2013:

On dealing with double standards:
“Guys can be scandalous and not get any crap for it. In my song [“Something We’re Not”], I’m saying, ‘girls, have your fun—don’t let anyone let you feel bad about your actions. Ever.’
How moving to L.A. helped her transform:
“L.A. has opened my eyes. I learned that ignorance stood in the way of my insight. I wasn’t really being honest with the way I used to live.  I was pretending to be a role model during the day and turning into a wild child at night.”

How to pull off the Color Blocking trend for men...then Basics


Never has color been embraced like it has been in this 21st century. The color blocking trend is still holding strong on its own and even men have embraced it...well at least the brave who are not afraid of color in their lives. For this trend not to backfire on you, here are some basics of rocking the Color Blocking trend for men.
  • Pick poppy, contrasting solids to emulate this season's boldest trend. Remember - strong colors, not pastels.
  • Don't be afraid to pair clashing colors, but mix no more than four color ways in a single outfit.
  • Go for primary and secondary colors over pastels.
  • Spend big on colors you'll re-use, but go high-street for less perennial shades - try ASOS and Topman for bright orange and red shades.
  • Don't forget your accessories - Prada, Hermès and Burberry have a great range of colored leather goods.
  • Layer your look with lightweight summer knits.

Zuhair Murad Couture Fall 2013





At the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, Zuhair Murad found his inspiration in the woods as his Fall 2013 Couture collection is called "Enchanted Forest,” This was brought out in the many gowns that had decorations that looked like tree branches and roots.
The beading on the gowns resembled those plants that weave themselves around a tree or the moss that collects around trees. Embroidered around the cocktail dresses and some outfits were branches that stretched out creating a visually appeasing look that left enough to the imagination.
The colors were bright sleek and chic. Black has never seemed so sophisticated and classic the way it did on the gowns, cocktail dresses. I love this collection as it is completely fabulous and dreamy. The rich colors pull you in and capture your attention, there was even a touch of feathers! Check out the rest of the collection and tell me what you think!
