Panama Hats – What You Should Know

Did you know Panama hats are more than just a trendy style of headwear? Not just any hat can be called a Panama hat, even though so many marketers coin in on this name

Well, today, I’m going to share the inside scoop and show you how to identify an authentic hat and where to buy an authentic Panama hat (yes, they do exist locally) , so let’s keep reading…

Multiple Studs

I’m not big on wearing statement or dangley earrings, but I do love dressing my ears up with cute and quirky studs to create a little story. From plain crystal studs to something more fun, like these alternating arrow earrings, I just love how they look.

Boho Ink… Metallic Tattoos

Metallic, foil tattoos are the hottest trend this summer, and being a little (make that very) boho inspired, I’m totally obsessed with them! You can find them pretty much everywhere, and everyone’s wearing them, but my faves have got to be from Lulu Dk. Lulu DK is an international designer that has traveled the world for inspiration. Her designs include wall coverings bed linen, fabric and leather, as well as her gorgeous metallic tattoos. I bought myself a set from Old Khaki and absolutely love them! They last for a few days -although when I wore mine as “ring bling” it came off the same night – and they look gorgeous. I received tons of compliments on mine, and its no wonder, they are so stand out! I love mixing them with actual arm candy, and ya know, boho styled pieces like; lace details, fringes and beachy hair. And speaking of beach, metallic tattoos offer a great way to wear a little bling at the beach, without the risk of damaging or losing your precious jewellery. The set I bought was the La Femme collection, which includes one silver and one gold card with various designs. Although I’m more of gold girl (than a silver), I love to mix the two together for an eclectic look.…

Hat Trick! DIY Store and Display Your Hats

You guys know I’m OCD when it comes to organizing stuff. I want to make it easy to find things, especially when it comes to my outfits, because who really has time to mess around? Takes me enough time doing my hair and makeup as it is! One thing that always bothered me was my hat “setup”. Over the past couple of months, I’ve gone cuckoo for hats. But back to the point at hand, storing my hats was always an issue, until I came up with the ultimate hat trick. I have a hat stand in my entrance hall with all my summery trilby hats, but for my dressier ones, ones that go beyond the swimming pool, I wanted them to be more prominent and easy to access while I’m getting dressed and putting outfits together. So, I created this super easy hat display that (seriously) took less than 5 minutes to put together. Annnnd, the best part is that it makes a great decor statement in my closet room… My hats now hang from a single fabric ribbon, and each one is pegged in making it easy to remove and replace. Depending on you, you could drill a pretty…

Hearts In Their Eyes! The New Vogue “Gift of Love” Sunnies

With Valentine’s Day tomorrow, Vogue have created a new, special collection that will have you seeing hearts! Two glamorous styles of sunglasses have been added to their range that perfectly reflect Vogue Eyewear’s style and inspiration: audacious, trendy, colorful, contemporary. We’re absolutely in love with the cute crystal heart shaped detail that has been applied the outside of each model’s temples. The VO 2792SB model has a retro look and a timeless elegance, characterized by a round, oversized shape and a thick and slightly cat-eyed frame, enriched by the crystal heart detail on the temple. The VO2791SB model is more rigorous with a humorous feel that distinguishes this model. It has a square, thick and modern frame that perfectly merges with the fun, sweet charm of the crystal heart detail showing on the hinge. Both models are available with gradient lenses and a lovely special packaging, the perfect way to say “I love you” whenever you want to celebrate your love!

One Big, Indulgent Arm Party

Being a total sucker for an arm party, I thought I’d dedicate today’s scoop entirely to some of my arm party snaps. If you follow me on instagram (stylescoopza), you’ll notice that my feed is always flooded with pictures of my wrist. I’m obsessed and I just can’t seem to get enough! I love buying pieces from all over (random places, Sass Diva, Lovisa, Mr Price) and stacking them to create a something different to match my outfit and mood. Last year it was all about stacking bangles, and although I love my bangles, these stretchy bracelets are far easier to wear. I’m totally addicted to skulls, spikes, crosses and being Greek, arm accessories with the evil eye are just awesome! My black crosses have seen better days, even though I do try and keep all my bracelets nice and neat so that they last a bit longer. If you’re curious to see how I maintain them, here’s how I store mine… Please tell me I am not alone! Comment below, tell me what some of your favourite arm party combinations are. xo Dimi

Ring Ring, Bling Bling

I’m a sucker for bling rings! Big, bold and beautiful statement rings are my thing – I’ve even found a really great way to store my rings. So, naturally when I saw how some of my fave fashion bloggers; Sydne, Folake and Maria were wearing their rings, it really caught my eye. While keeping their statement rings in place, all these girls did was add another ring halfway on their finger (instead of all the way) giving it a really nice effect. Take a look… Sydne from Sydnestyle.com – view the full outfit post here Folake from StylePantry.com – view the full outfit post here Maria from KittiesandCouture.com – view the full outfit post here I was so thrilled when I popped into Lovisa over the weekend and discovered that they already had little “ring packs” with all sorts of designs and in a great selection of colours. So, what do you think of wearing your rings this way? Do you like it? Comment below, I’d love to hear your thoughts…
