Desert Sage: The Reason To Add This Colour To Your Wardrobe

Desert Sage: The Reason To Add This Colour To Your Wardrobe

Comment   

This autumn, designers predict an evolution in the panorama of colours – they adopted an 

androgynous approach to colours this season, looking for a style in dressing and fabrics to 

define this time of year. This fall, designers pay homage to different moments in American 

history, from the 20s, hippies and bohemians to the modernists 60s and 70s, while the affection 

shown by the colours and style is innately easy to use by both men and women.

The importance of neutral tones continues to evolve with the Desert Sage, mix of fresh grey and 

relaxing green, which serves as the starting point in the palette for autumn 2015.

Desert Sage suits everyone!

As stated by the designer, timeless and discreet but powerful enough to take ownership alone, 

Desert Sage speaks of the sense of colours inspired by nature, reminiscent of real and 

uncorrupted things. The trendy colours for this autumn have their roots in many facets that can 

be used to represent sophistication effortlessly through the fashion of men and women – It is the 

first time that there is a truly unisex palette of colours.

Swampy shade and endless combinations!

A neutral grey-green hue is very autumnal and works perfectly with other colours. Desert Sage 

is a fashionable but understated colour, a shade that works alone without being juxtaposed 

against other colours. It is one of the colours that dominated the menswear but became very 

popular with ladies, too. It combines very well with almost any colour, such as black, blue and 

red colours (burgundy, marsala, maroon, etc.). It also combines with different shades of green, 

brown and grey. It is serious, discreet and elegant.

Depending on the tone, it can make the person wearing it look thinner or be fairly neutral. In 

combination with warm colours and unusual textures it provides comfort and warmth. Also, 

many predict that this particular colour could replace the black in the fashion field this season.

Every style looks great with this colour!

Desert Sage is trendy and can be used in formal and evening dresses, too. So if you're 

wondering what to wear to a wedding, you can take into account this rich and beautiful colour. 

Women can combine romantic silk dress in this shade with a coat in military style to add a little 

drama. A skirt in this earthy tone would look gorgeous as well, combined with a maroon or black 

dickie. Dashing gents would look even more fashionable with a Desert Sage coat which pairs 

perfectly with custom dress shirts in white or some other neutral colour.

This year, there are many choices for the fall when it comes to fashion, and the trends are 

always on their way to major changes. From real autumn colours, brown and yellow in an 

antique style to modern designs and cheerful colours, this year’s fall fashion is interspersed with 

styles. Still, Desert Sage managed to come above all others and deserve the title of the queen 

of autumn colours.

All women are striking in their own way. But women who know their worth are by far the sexiest and most beautiful creatures out there.

With age and maturity there comes self-confidence; plenty lessons are learnt, many things tried and adopted or dismissed, and finally – there come advice that should be cherished by all women in the world – the advice on what to do to keep your outer beauty just as gorgeous as your inner one.

Talking to experienced women in fashion and beauty industry, these successful women who pride on broad perspectives, knowledge and experience, we’ve gathered a handful of super helpful suggestions and guidance that will be of help to any girl and or/women out there. This is what we’ve learnt:

Good face is power

No matter how shallow it might sound, but a beautiful face will make everyone around you weak in the knees. This is why you need to treat it with care – stop immediately with all the frowning, biting of lips and the inside of your cheeks, popping out blemishes or touching your face with dirty hands. 

Here’s why:

The more you bite your lips, the more chipped they’ll be, and you’ll look unhygienic and sloppy. Plus, no lipstick will look good, no matter how much you exfoliate. Popping up blemishes may lead to scarring and permanent discoloration of skin.

Biting the inside of your cheeks will stretch your cheeks and create lines around your mouth and nose. Further, it only sends a signal that you are nervous, and that’s really unattractive.

We shouldn’t even mention going to bed with makeup on is absolutely forbidden? Of course not, you’ve already mastered that one.

Propping your chin on your hands? Forget about it!

Too much propping your chin on your hands will mess up your chin line. Apart from that, your elbows will get rough and you’ll unconsciously begin slouching which will negatively impact your overall posture and look. Make it your business to always sit up tall, with your back straight. Also, make sure your shoulders are down at your chin level. 

Stop it with the duckface, already

The past decade or so has brought the trend of big breasts and big, pouty lips. For some reason the latter transformed into some ridiculous trend that doesn't seem to decrease in popularity. The idea behind it was to probably enhance the lips’ fullness by lightly pouting but it took a totally wrong turn. Not only do you look ridiculous but the extreme twisting of lips and unnecessary pouting creates lines around your mouth that will, in time, only get deeper and more visible.

Razor love? Never again!

While shaving may be a quick solution to remove the extra hairs off of your body, the simple act of shaving imposes constant stress on the skin. Given that shaving is a form of physical exfoliation, it may impact the health of the skin - ingrown hairs, razor bumps, razor burn and inflammation are just some of the visible signs of trauma going on on the surface of the skin.

“Shaving triggers a high level of visible irritation and can lead to over-exfoliation, as well as a compromised lipid barrier”, agree experts of dermatology. In fact, almost all of them will agree that shaving should be replaced with ipl laser hair removal. Not only will ipl laser hair removal help permanently remove hair but it will keep it healthy, elastic and glowing!

Thanks for reading! Chao x

Upping My Blogger Game | Guest Post

Upping My Blogger Game | Guest Post

Comment   

So I started The Tailored Gent just over a month ago and I had no idea what to expect or just how supportive the blogging community could be. I originally started blogging purely as a hobby that took up just a couple of hours a week, and a way of sharing content with my friends. It was certainly never my aim to be the next Jim Chapman or Alfie Deyes but I enjoyed reading their blog posts and watching each and every upload to their respective YouTube channels.

It was clear to me that blogging is not about quitting your full time job so that you can spend every waking hour coming up with content that will get the most page views or make money, but simply creating content that you enjoy and writing about & topics that you're passionate about. It's easy to see within five minutes of landing on someone's blog whether they really have a passion for this stuff or whether they just want to make a quick buck (or million!).

I’m really happy with the fact that the blog has now got a decent amount of content and has surpassed 60 followers on Bloglovin, which may seem like nothing compared to a lot of bloggers out there who seem to be celebrating reaching tens of thousands of followers, but if anything it's just such a great feeling to know that just a few people are actually reading (and enjoying) your content. There's nothing worse than refreshing those Blogger stats each morning so find that still no-one has read that wish list post that took you what seemed like an entire Sunday afternoon to put together!

Anyway, onwards to the point of this post! I wanted to set a few goals for my blog and for myself to try and make the most of this new found passion of mine..

1. Create a dedicated workspace

It's all too easy to sit in bed or on the sofa and try to create content whilst continuously being distracted by the TV, so I've moved my main blogging setup into my office to try and concentrate! 

2. Start planning content

This is actually quite a tricky topic. Depending on the type of content that you're blogging about sometimes it can be best to just write as soon as you’re overcome with inspiration for a post. However, when dealing with seasonal wish lists and lifestyle posts I think it's a great idea to plan in a schedule for your content. I tend to just keep a load of draft posts going in my Blogger account then just work on them and most them when I get time - this can be any time of day or night! Therefore, I'm going to try and schedule at least two weeks worth of content and then follow the content plan below:

Monday - Weekly Wish list

Wednesday - The Reading List

Friday - The Playlist

Sunday - Product haul or lifestyle/travel post depending on what I'm up to.

3. Reach 100 Bloglovin followers

I'm so glad that I came across Bloglovin when I was first starting to get inspiration for blog posts and layout ideas! It's an invaluable tool both for getting a consistent stream of page views via the huge network of bloggers and content creators, but also an amazing way to meet fellow bloggers with similar interests. I think a goal of 100 followers in certainly achievable by the end of September!

4. Get social

I'm a big big fan of social media but was initially quite nervous about using it to promote my blog because I didn't want to just spam all my friends and family with constant new blog post tweets from The Tailored Gent. I've since realized that platforms such as Twitter and Pinterest are incredible ways to share content and gain additional followers. It has also put me in touch with several brands and bloggers, which have provided some exciting opportunities for the rest of this year and beyond.

5. Stop comparing myself with "successful" bloggers

Last but certainly not least, it's so easy to look at all of your favourite bloggers and try to emulate what they do. Don't! Make your blog be the best it can be by simply being yourself and creating content that you love. I want to focus on quality as well as quantity so the focus should never be writing as much as I can without making sure I’m 100% happy with the post first.

What goals do you have for your blog?
