Heaven Online

 

Hello, my dears! I am back, after what turned out to be a full and wonderful summer and I am packed with energy to learn and create new things. We shall see how long this lasts! 

Nobody is sadder than I am that summer is over, but the optimistic side of me is always looking for the silver lining in every situation. Hence, I decided to create a post about one of the things I am most excited about when it comes to going back to the office. That is, if you are indeed going back. I am aware that a lot of people are still working remotely, since the whole COVID-19 situation doesn't seem to be improving. My team and I will start going to the office for two weeks per month, so I really needed some inspiration after spending weeks in swimsuits, pajamas, and fun summer clothing.

A quick disclaimer before you proceed. I consider myself lucky enough to be working for a company without a strict dress code. That, in addition to the fact that I don't meet with clients in person on a day to day basis, means that I basically get to wear any clothes I like, provided that I steer clear from anything too revealing. I can wear comfy hoodies and oversized, fuzzy sweaters in the winter and play with fun combos during the warmer months. That being said, I usually end up waking up late and opting for jeans and booties, but it's nice to have to option to experiment with my style and express my personality through my looks. So, if your workplace has a strict dress code, you probably won't be able to pull off these looks, but they can surely act as inspiration for you to adjust to your own lifestyle.



This first look is for all my girls who are always on the run and aren't willing to sacrifice comfort. It is also great if you use public transportation and want to have your hands free and not have your skin touch the seats. I love the light colors and cool tones of this set and I think it will be convenient for anyone whose day is packed with errands.



The second look is more youthful and playful and seems great for people with creative jobs (like graphic designers, copywriters, etc.). I like how the denim skirt constitutes a middle ground between jeans and shorts and could be deemed acceptable in certain workplaces. I also fancy the black and white detailing and the contrast between the different accessories.



I love how this third set combines a feminine aesthetic with more laid-back elements. You can tell that sneakers are a recurring theme in this post and for good reason. They simply constitute the epitome of comfort and are so versatile that you can pair them with pretty much anything. I also like how this more structured bag can help make your transition from the beach to the office easier.


This last set represents the way I would wear shorts to work. I am usually not a fan of exposing too much skin at the office, so I would opt for a long sleeve blouse to contrast this longer pair of shorts and make it more appropriate. I would also like this look with ballerinas, but I guess I am guilty of still desperately clinging to the remainder of summer vibes.


What do you guys think of these sets? What would be your go-to outfit for going back to work? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

STYLE FILE: THIN STRAP HEELS

Hello, my darlings! How are you doing, this lovely day? Are you excited for the weekend? I know I am. Ever since we got out of the lockdown, I have been craving the beach more than ever and the temperature that keeps rising surely calls for a dip in the sea - all safety rules followed, of course.

Even if you are currently still at home, or live far away from the beach, there are many things you can occupy yourself with, fashion being number one on the list. That is why I wanted to dedicate this post to a trend that has taken the fashion world by storm lately.

Thin strap heels have been all over my Instagram feed for the past few months. From all the designer collections that have launched and our favorite fashion bloggers to all my IG friends, I believe it is safe to say that everyone and their mom has purchased a pair of these sleek sandals in, at least, one color.

The Pros

These shoes constitute a refreshing change from all the monstrous pairs that have been dominating the runways and the streets in the past few years. As someone who has never been a fan of the "ugly-shoe-trend", I certainly favor this more dainty and ladylike option. 

If you opt for a neutral color and a clean-cut heel, you've got yourself a versatile and timeless accessory that could complement most of your outfits. If, on the other hand, you are feeling more adventurous, a statement heel and a bold color are guaranteed to make you stand out and could, potentially, be re-worn at a party or two in the years to come.

The Cons

If you wish to stick out from the crowd and not blindly follow the trends, then this shoe is probably not the best pick for you. If that is the case, you may want to try some embellished designer flats from brands like Prada and Miu Miu, which are fresh, different, and perfect for summertime.

Additionally, thin strap heels are a gamble when it comes to flattering your figure. If you go for a very thin and short heel and have bulkier legs (like I do, from all those years playing volleyball), you shouldn't be expecting these shoes to do you any favors.

The Styling

Nonetheless, these sandals are some of the most easy-going accessories that have emerged in the past few years. As you can see in the photos I have selected, you can style them with pretty much anything and have yourself a fashionable outfit. 

Pair them with your jeans to make your look more feminine, enhance the elegance of a dress or skirt, pick a nude color to make your legs appear longer, or try a fun hue to spice up any outfit. The options ate truly endless and totally up to you and your creativity.

The Verdict

Personally, I am all up for trends that suit my style and I would very much like to give this one a go. After all, a pair of these would go great with so many items from my closet and a girl can never have too many shoes... Right?

Hello my dears! It has been forever since I last posted on here and, boy, have things changed. As we are currently dealing with the effects of COVID-19 and everything is shifting with each day that passes, we are called to #StayHome in order to protect ourselves and those around us.

I could go on and on about the impact that this global crisis has had on the world and each one of us individually but, frankly, I am in the mood for something lighter and more upbeat, so I will not bore you with my bubbling. Instead, I am here to discuss quarantine fashion since, apparently, this is a thing in 2020.

Let's be honest here. There are, arguably, some upsides to this lockdown. For one, we get to enjoy precious time alone and with our families which, to me, is a great privilege. Not having to wear a bra, is also quite fun. However, no matter how appealing it may sound, laying around in your pajamas all day, is not that good for you. Getting dressed and taking care of yourself on a daily basis can improve your mood, and even help you be more productive and make the most of your newfound spare time.

That is why I decided to put together a few looks that are ideal for staying stylish while being at home. I even paired each outfit with an activity that can keep you occupied during these turbulent times.
STAY HOME STYLE
Very few things are more comfortable than high-waisted, loose-fitting pants made of soft material. Pair them with a bralette to keep things stylish, throw a cardigan on top to stay cozy, light your favorite candle and enjoy the company of a good book. Effortlessly chic messy buns are highly recommended.
STAY HOME STYLE
The great thing about being home is that pants are optional. Stay breezy with an oversized sweater (bonus points if you've "borrowed" it from your boyfriend), keep yourself warm with a pair of over-the-knee socks and enjoy the soothing feeling you get when you paint your nails in a shade that screams spring. You could even multitask and listen to a fun podcast or blast some uplifting music while you're at it.
STAY HOME STYLE
If you are like me and you get to work from home while all this is going down, then a pair of jeans is perfect to help you maintain your discipline throughout the day and successfully complete all your tasks. Pair them with some chic loungewear and elevate the look with jewelry and a bold lip to tackle video calls like a boss. 
STAY HOME STYLE
There is no better time to indulge in self-care than right now. Get in some cute silk shorts and grab your coziest sweater 'cause it's me-time (well, you-time)! Exfoliate your skin, apply a moisturizer with a delicious scent, try out a new face mask and, last but not least, don't forget your beauty sleep!


So, that's a wrap! I am testing out this tool called Urstyle, trying to figure out if it could replace Polyvore for me, and I would love to hear your thoughts on these sets I put together. So, please, leave me your feedback in the comments below and let me know if you would like me to create more sets like these!

Stay Home. Stay Safe. Stay Stylish.

THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR YOUR PICS

Hello loves! How is life treating you this first month of 2020? My schedule has been hectic as always and I've been on the go non-stop but I am feeling surprisingly optimistic about what is to come. I am just trying to focus on the things that make me happy like making time for my friends and family, writing articles, taking photos etc.

Speaking of photography, have you ever wondered how you can take that perfect, insta-worthy picture? I know I have. Even though I am by no means a professional photographer, I have often found myself wondering about camera lenses, lighting and angles. Even though spontaneous photos can come out amazing every now and then, there is no denying that it take meticulous planning in order to achieve the desired shot.

You need to check your source of light, your expression, your pose. And what happens when you have taken everything into consideration and your photo comes out wrong because of an element in your background you failed to notice? Well there is no worse feeling than fixing it, then trying to re-create the photo and failing. Instead of engaging in this process that can easily take a toll on you, spending various hours on photoshop trying to create a visually pleasing photo or dedicating a large portion of your time to decorate and light the background, there is one much simpler solution.

Have you ever tried using a backdrop? It can be much more fun that it sounds. Take your mind off the stereotypical DMV white background that is frankly nobody's piece of cake, and try picturing fun and colorful backdrops that will instantly elevate your photos.

THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR YOUR PICS


I stumbled across Fox Backdrop, a while ago, and I spent so much time browsing through their selection. I just couldn't stop. There are so many different designs to choose from and believe that it would be rather hard for you not to find something that pleases you. No matter what you are looking for, odds are that it's on there.

Plain or colorful, resembling a real scenery, a texture, an actual background you will find outdoors and much more. There are also different options to choose from regarding the materials, the shine etc.

These backgrounds could also come in handy of you are into filming YouTube videos. They can act as the perfect canvas that will enable you to show your personality and shine, while helping you maintain your privacy. I know it's 2020 but, let's face it, not everyone is super into exposing their private lives or the interior of their home to strangers. That's why backdrops are such a hit among creators.

Hence, there is really no reason for you not to opt for a beautiful backdrop the next time you plan a photo or video shooting. Head over to foxbackdrop.com to find your dream design!

Have you guys ever used a custom backdrop? What other tricks do you use to take the perfect photo? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! ❤


BAD HAIR DAY? JUST WIG IT!

Hello my darlings! Happy new year! Can you believe it is 2020 already? Personally, I am very pumped for the new decade to start, but I will not bore you with my New Year's Resolutions. It is safe to say that we all have set our own personal (unrealistic?) goals and it is best not to share them in case we end up binge watching our favorite shows on Netflix all year long. 😝

In any case, today I wanted to talk to you about a topic that is very near and dear to all our hearts. You guessed it, hair. A woman's hair is, in my humble opinion, one of the most powerful accessories that can make or break any look. And while we can spend hours drooling over the sleek locks that show up on our Instagram feeds and researching ways to make our own hair like that, sometimes things don't work out as planned.

A bad hair day could happen due to various reasons, from the weather and the products you used, to a hormonal imbalance. Figuring our which is the cause of the problem sure helps to combat it in the future but, when you want to leave the house looking flawless and your hair just isn't having it, you need something quick and efficient. Enter, wigs.

For a long time, I would picture wigs in my head as the cheap plastic accessories my mom would buy me when I was a kid for Halloween. Thus, you can imagine my surprise when I figured out how wrong I was. Nowadays, wigs have evolved into a luxurious addition to your beauty routine and can be so well made that people won't be able to tell the difference between the wig and your real hair. Soft, silky and shiny, they come in just about every length, style and color you can think of and, of course, you can style them yourself to your own liking.

BAD HAIR DAY? JUST WIG IT!


I recently came across Niawigs and I was in awe of the vast and well-curated selection the carry. In particular, the two variations that caught my eye were the full lace wigs and the luxy ones. What is the difference, you ask?

Well, Full Lace Wigs feature full lace cap that can be worn with or without adhesive. They are made with adjustable straps and combs for a secure fit. Like any other full lace wig, these units are 100% hand tied so they can be parted anywhere and can be worn in a high pony. 

Luxy Wigs, made of 100% Virgin human hair, all come with the pre-plucked hairline, pre-bleached knots and pre-sewn elastic band. Virgin hair, completely in its original state and has not been permed, dyed, colored or bleached in any way, is considered to be the rarest and best hair on the market. So wigs made of virgin hair can last much longer than any other wigs made of lower-grade human hair. You can also style your virgin hair wigs like your own hair, which is very easy and convenient.

If you want to explore more styles, I recommend you visiting their website niawigs.com

Have you ever tried a wig? What are your thoughts on this emerging trend? Please share your experience in the comments below. I would love to know ❤
