If you love couture and missed Paris Fashion Week 2015 don’t get upset because a few of the shows are below. Technology has allowed us to enjoy fashion from all over the world; streaming Chanel, Balmain, Christian Dior, and Saint Laurent.
I love Parisian designs because the styles are forward leaning, with the use of high quality fabrics and the ability to show opulence. Parisian style has made a huge impact on ready to wear apparel and everyday street style.
Celebrities are also taking notes, playing with a variety of Parisian inspired fashion and couture beauty ideas.

Oscar wasn’t the only thing shining at last night’s Academy Awards. Hollywood’s leading ladies pulled out all the stops when it came to the red carpet. Capturing the most glamorous looks of the night was Laura Kay, founder and artist of Diary Sketches, who re-created the best dressed…in sketch form!
Sketching live throughout the broadcast, Kay freehand illustrated the most elegant ensembles, from Jennifer Lopez’s beaded blush Ellie Saab to Marion Cotillard Dior Haute Couture silk evening gown. Inspired by fashion influencers, industry trends and award show red carpets, Diary Sketches delivers custom fashion illustrations, portraits, art prints and more for dedicated followers of fashion and celebrity fans around the world.
Celebrity makeup artist extraordinaire and cosmetic genius, Nick Barose, is a big fan of Eylure lashes and looks to the collection throughout award season to create his signature, dramatic yet natural lash look for celebrities walking the red carpet.
Nick Barose completed Academy Award winner, Lupita Nyongo’s look with Eylure 011 Naturals.

The Eylure lash collection provides a flawless look, are flattering to everyone and incredibly light – women forget they are wearing the lashes after 5 minutes!

Patterned trousers can look amazing, but you need to style them properly to ensure you don’t look out of place. You definitely don’t want to look like you’ve dressed in the dark! Using this guide when styling your trousers will make sure you look on top form!
Make a Statement With a Bright Top
Lots of prints look amazing with bright colours, so wear a bright top on your top half to make a statement. Leopard print and red would work really well, as would teal and monochrome dogtooth trousers. You can experiment in any way you like to find something that works. You can even pick something else to add colour, like a bag or your shoes. Even Islamic clothing is great to use for this tip.
Add a Fitted Blazer and Heels
If you want to wear your patterned trousers out on the town, simply add a fitted blazer and heels. You’ll look chic and turn heads for all of the right reasons! Want to make even more of a statement? Wear your blazer in a contrasting colour to your trousers.
Thrown on an Oversized Sweatshirt
If you want to dress down your patterned trousers slightly, add an oversized sweatshirt. Bear in mind this looks better if your trousers are more of a skinny fit, so you don’t swamp yourself in material. This even looks great with heels, if you plan on going for a casual drink!
Wear a Basic T and Sandals for Boho Chic
If you don’t want to look too done up, wear a basic T and sandals for a boho look. Think Vanessa Hudgens! She always looks laid back yet stylish. This look is perfect for a festival, or even a day at the beach.
Tuck in a Top and Add a Belt
Consider tucking a top or shirt into your trousers, and then adding a nice waist belt to cinch you in. This will give you an unbelievable shape!
Toughen Up the Look
If you have floral trousers, why not toughen up the look? You can do this with a black leather biker jacket and some rock chick boots.
Introduce a Colour from Your Trousers Elsewhere
Take a look at your trousers and assess the colour scheme. If you have multiple shades in there, pick one and introduce it into your outfit somewhere else. For instance, if your trousers are varying shades of purple, you could wear a lavender bomber jacket!
Add a Pretty Pastel Hue
Pretty pastel hues will look great with your trousers, and will work with almost any pattern you can find. This is a great tip if you want to soften the overall look.
Wear a Matching Jacket
Why not be daring and wear a matching jacket? Most places do matching jacket and trouser sets, and you won’t need to put much effort in to look chic.
Now you know exactly how to wear your patterned trousers to avoid looking trashy. I hope you love them as much as we do. See you later!
