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.
Merry Christmas!

Have fun with Leather Bracelet Watches


Fashion Geek turns 2 years old this month of December and I thought what better way to celebrate than to talk about Leather Bracelet Watches. Not only are they functional but they are classy, sexy and look beautiful on any arm. Forget about the Traditional normal watches why not combine beauty and a sense of time all rolled into one to create a look that is great. The Leather Bracelet Watches are Vintage looking and therefore bring out the classic yet simple elegance that is both creative and fashion forward. These Bracelet Watches can be worn as an accessory and will compliment any look that you go for. whether it be casual, official or just elegance for an evening out, they are great as an addition to any outfit. There are a variety of designs to choose from, they range in various colors while some even have interchangeable straps that would go with your mood, outfit or the color that you choose to wear. 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.
Enjoy!!!

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!
You can find studded loafers at Zara, Steve Madden, Romwe, Oasap, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius...check out some studded and spiked items to get your creative juices going...

Stay cozy under Wide Brim Hats

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?
