Winter is coming (and 31st December night)

Although everyone still longs for summer, lazy days, tanned skin, beach and crazy nights we have to assume that winter is coming... and arrived. We can no longer deny the famous "Game of Thrones" phrase.

And you know what this means, New Eve's night is coming too. Either if you are staying with your family or a dinner-and-countdown thing or going out with friends to start the year partying or getting massively drunk (typical, duh).

So probably all of you already have decided what you will wear for your the night and the rest of you will still be thinking about it. Here are some ideas so that you look amazing on that special night.

 If you are staying with your family don't do the over-the-top thing because it will just look too much for the occassion. You can wear a short or sparkling dress but not the same one you will wear if you were going to a night club. I would wear flat shoes and red velvet (for good luck) and some nice jewerelly. Don't use too much make up remember you are not going to try and conquer any hearts tonight, babes.





I would wear something like this. All from Pull and Bear. Not too expensive.


But if you are going out to party and receive this year in an amazing way. Go fully equipped to look amazing. Try the smokey eyes, although they take a long time to make they look great. Remember never to wear a very bright lipstick if you wear too much blusher. This year dark red lipsticks will be very trendy, but do not use it if you wear pink.

Try something like this

Lots of love

The authentic elegance

A casual look for the ones that want to look classy and elegant but not "over the top". The fluid pale rose pants contrast with the tight top and look great when you are moving.

The necklace and the shoes look amazing together and are very classy. The nail varnish fits perfectly with them too.

The best make up to wear with this is pale colours so it does not contrast too much. This will look great on girls with bronze or dark skin as it will make it look even better but if you are pale and don't want to wear very dark colours as it will make you seem paler don't be afraid to try it.

It seems very elegant and looks amazing together, don't be afraid to wear it to any party or event. You can also wear the shoes with a more casual look as I said in my last post to give a "touch".

Remember: Authentic elegance means minimalism and real style.

Saber vestir para cada ocasión

7 maneras de encontrar el outfit ideal para cada ocasión


¿Nunca os ha pasado eso de llegar a un lugar y darte cuenta de que no vas "perfecta" para la ocasión? La verdad es que te frustras bastante y te dan unas ganas tremendas de ir a casa a cambiarte pero no puedes ¿por qué tenía dos vestidos sobre la cama y elijo el que era peor? y me estoy quedando sin gusto y qué hago yo ahora y...
Este post me ha llevado bastante tiempo pero espero que os ayude mucho



♥


1. Piensa en el tipo de evento. Bueno, sé que esto es siempre lo primero que dicen las revistas cuando lees los artículos tipo "Qué llevar a una fiesta". Es importante saber cómo vestirse para cada ocasión. Pero sobretodo pensar en quién va a ir a la fiesta, evento ... y cómo vestirían, y tratar de armonizar con eso. Eso sí, nunca lleves algo con lo que no te sientas completamente cómodo porque se nota a la legua.


2. Elige los accesorios. Si el vestido está lleno de pedrería y adornos no uses demasiados accesorios, ya que se verá demasiado , como si tratases de parecer demasiado llamativo y "way too much". Usa anillos de oro o de plata discretos o pulseras y un bolso sin adornos, y con un color que coincida con los zapatos, para que no sean demasiados colores.


3. Los colores que coincidan. 

Si eres de piel clara y vas a un sitio de la noche, tonos dorados o pálidos se ven mejor. Si quieres lucir más sexy o llamativa más también puedes vestir de negro o rojo (si eres rubia), ya que se verá mejor. Si eres de piel oscura naranjas, dorados, verdes y colores intensos se verán increíbles aunque los colores pálidos también contrastan con la piel y resaltan bastante.


4. Pelo. Esto puede parecer lo más, pero que en realidad es muy sencillo. Si llevas algo con la espalda abierta haz un moño o un peinado que no deje el pelo suelto. Si el vestido tiene un montón de pedrería o un diseño llamativo haz un recogido para que se aprecie mejor. Si el vestido es más simple puede dejar su pelo suelto o usar un poco de diadema o decoración por lo que no se ve tan "vacío". Eso sí, nunca ocultes tu cara con el típico peinado a lo "Veronica Lake" (mucho menos si te has pasado 3 horitas maquillándote).


5. Zapatos. Use zapatos de tacón alto sólo si sabes cómo caminar en ellos. Abstente si no sabes andar bien. Plataformas sólo se ven bien si usas un pantalón y una blusa o camisa y tal vez con un vestido suelto (aunque tu decides en función de cómo te veas). Si quieres un ir aspecto elegante usa salones (como Jimmy Choos y si no hay presupuesto otros, no morirse), que no tienen que ser demasiado altos. Con una falda o un vestidito que parece ser de dos partes los tacones sientan genial. Esto depende más de la persona.


6. Maquillaje. Reglas principales: si te pones un montón de maquillaje en los ojos no hagas lo mismo en los labios o será demasiado. Los "smokey eyes" sólo se ven bien si los has practicado varias veces y realmente sabes cómo hacerlo. Maquillaje oscuro hace que los ojos azules y verdes se vean increíbles y un poco de sombra de ojos de oro o claros hace que los ojos oscuros se ven muy bien también. Y si tienes demasiado rímel pon papel higiénico enrollado en un dedo,  entre las pestañas y cierra los ojos para eliminar el exceso de rímel.


7. Bolso. Tiene que ser de un tono similar de tus accesorios (si son grandes y de color) o sus zapatos. Usa carteras grandes y coloridas si usas un traje muy sencillo y sin demasiados colores y los simples con un vestido con encaje o gemas. Pero preferiblemente uno que sea discreto

Espero que haya sido útil. Muchísimos besos a todas.

New photo shoot

Hi everyone!

We just changed the name to "themeowstyle" as we think it's more easy to write (meoww may produce confusions because maybe you think you put right and you will think it's a blog about a girl from Singapore telling you her whoole life as if you cared about it and that does not publish since 2007 so why the heck are you in that page and weren't we talking about fashion? and blah blah

And I wanted to publish my new photo shot. I will not cover my face if you want to accuse me of any cyber crime or whatever.

Some of my readers have sent me private messages asking why the blog is called "The Meow Style". It's not only because I put a tigers face in mine when I don't like a photo.

It is because "meow" is the cat's sound duh cats have an amazing sence of grace and elegance in their movements and in terms of clothing it is my favorite style: classy and elegant without appearing to look as if I'm trying really hard to be elegant.

Love you all xxxx

7 ways to find the outfit for each ocassion

Comment if you have never ever experienced that feeling of going to a place and thinking that you completely choose the wrong outfit and you just wan't to go home and change your clothes or scream because you were deciding over two dresses and you chose the wrong one and why you always have to be chosing the wrong one and why why why why. (If you always choose the right outfit and feel great with it don't continue reading, unless you want to).



1. Think about the type of event. Okay, I know this is always the first thing magazines say when you are wondering about what to wear. It is important to know how to dress for each time. But think about who is going to go to the party, event... and how could they dress, and try to harmonize with them, but NEVER WEAR SOMETHING YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH because people will notice it.


2. Choose the accesories. If the dress is full of rhinestones and trimmings don't wear too many accesories because it will look too much over the top, as if you will appear too flashy. Wear discreet golden or silver rings or bracelets and a purse with no trims, and with a colour that matches the shoes, that should be two colours max.


3. The colours that match you. If you are light skinned and are going to a night event, golden or pale tones will look better on you. If you want to look more sexy or stand out more you can also wear black or red (if you are blonde) as they will look better. If you are dark skinned oranges, golds, greens and intense colours will look amazing although pale colours also contrast with the skin and look better.


4. Hair. This is the biggest question, but that really is simple. If what you are wearing has an open back make a bun or a hairstyle that does not leave the hair loose. If the dress has a lot of trims you should also do a hairstyle so that it can be appreciated. If the dress is more symple you can leave your hair loose or wear a little diadem or decoration so it does not look so "empty". But never hide your face! specially if you spent 3 hours doing your make-up.


5. Shoes. Wear high heels only if you know how to walk in them. REALLY. There was this girl at a graduation and she made a terrible fool of herself wearing high heels without knowing how to. And, no, she did not fall or anything but walking in front of 300 people in that way... well better not to. Platforms only look well if you are wearing trousers and a blouse or shirt and maybe with a  loose dress (although you decide depending on how the clothes fit you). With babydoll, tight and long dresses heels look much better. If you want a classy look go for pumps (as Jimmy Choo), they don't have to be too high. With a skirt or a two parts (that if tight until the waist and then if babydoll) dress they look great.


6. Make up. Main rules, if you put a lot of make up in your eyes don't do the same on the lips or it will be too much. Smokey eyes only look good if you have practiced several times and really know how to do them. Dark makeup makes blue and green eyes look amazing and a little golden or light  eyeshadow makes dark eyes look great too. And when you apply mascara use toilet paper, roll it into your finger, put it between your eyelashes and close your eye to remove excess of mascara.


7. Bag. It has to be of a similar tone of your accesories (if they are big and coloured) or your shoes. Wear big colourful purses if you are wearing a very simple outfit without too many colours and simple ones with a dress with lace or gems. But prefferably it shouls be a discreet one.

Hope it was helpful xxxxxx

SHOPPING ROUND OXFORD CIRCUS

London is shop paradise. There are thousands of places were you can find exclusive brands, vintage clothes, multinationals or goth accesories.

The most popular place to shop is Oxford Street, although it's mostly multinationals. At the beggining (if you start from the right side of the street, opposite to Hyde Park), you can find American Aparell, which is modern, minimalist clothing although the price varies from low to high). There is also a very big Primark, H&M ad many other multinationals. Totally recommend stopping at Urban Outfitters, which you can also find in Camden, where you can find very stylish or vintage clothing at a medium cost, also, you can find weird but fun books, many books and home stuff (chains, cushions, carpets...).

After you arrive to Oxford circus and you can head down to Regent Street, where the more posh shops are. There is Hamleys, a luxury toyshop with amazing felttips (shoutout to the guy who let me try them) and it has the most awesome toys ever but way too expensive. By the way this is very important because everyone who goes there is like "Where the heck is Victoria's Secret??!!" and it's not too hard to find. You have to go to Regent Street from Oxford Circus and go into the first St on the left (I think the name is Prince St. or something like that) and you keep going until you reach Hanover Square and go round it to Brook Street, keep going and you reached it!

Back to Regent there is a Michael Kors (handbags are bae) and Juicy Couture, as well as Burberry, Zara... and Hollister which is quite a long way from Oxford Circus so don't get desperate if you do not reach it in five minutes. There is a Godiva shop, where you can buy the best belgian shopping (even shopaholics need some rest, AND FOOD).

And continuing with Oxford Street past Oxford Circus, you can find River Island, which although it sometimes seems very expensive and too futuristic, if you look well you will find extremely cute things. I got a sweater for 20 pounds and it matches lot's of my clothes and gives a classy look (i am wearing it in my post about shopping in L.A in the pic with the pink shorts at Universal). And then it's many big companies like Forever 21, Zara, Pull and Bear etcforaloongtime until you reach Selfridges, which is a big building full of the most luxurious brands. Strongly advise you to go to Tiffany and Co which has the most fine jewellery and the employees are very nice, or take a look in the Rolex shop (there was a watch costing over 34.000 pounds). If you want something more affordable you should go to the Magnum shop where you can create your own ice cream for about 6 pounds. The Selfridges building itself is very nice and the displays in the showcase are amazing, each month they are changed and have themes and are a sight worth watching.

Then there is TOPSHOP, that i find very expensive although it has some cute things, specially shoes and accesories, but don't buy jeans or sweaters because they are expensive and you can find others much cuter in other places.

Love to all classycats xxxxxxx

Start

So this was my first post in Spanish and I'm going to traduce it for you guys xxxxx

So basically this blog is about fashion and I know there are thousands of them out there but I really like clothes and style and try to do this one. 


Lot's of times we comment that a girl has a very bad sense of style. "Having a bad sense of style" is very subjective (and no offence plz but girls can be real bitches and just get faults out of nowhere)  let's face it, there are, like, lot's of different styles that have nothing to do with each other and suit different people.


Style depends on people's character or how they feel but all trends are valid (except some "things" that cannot be considered clothes at all and that I will talk about later). What fashion really is consists of going out feeling beautiful and great.


I hope this blog grows, in it we will comment new trends, give advice and styles, as well as commenting brands so you can find your perfect clothes.



Love bebes xxxxxxxx
