Platform boots have been in out of fashion so many times that now you can wear them whenever you want. If you consider yourself unique and cutting edge, this style is for you. The boots are distinctive and scream that you don’t follow, but lead.
Most women wear platform boots because of their casual appearance. However, they are perfect for a night out bar hopping. If you are a teenager to mid 30s, this boot might be a staple for you. You can get around town and look super hip doing it.
I won’t go so far as to say, they are a fashion staple, but because of their style the fashion world still embraces them.
If you are on the short side like me, I like this boot because it adds height giving me the illusion that I am a lot taller than I really am. Score points for that! Another thing I like is that it has rounded toes instead of pointed or squared, which means comfort.
Lets face it, after wearing high heels and stiletto’s all day, it is a nice change of pace to wear something you can be more playful in.
Clearly, you like to make a fashion statement, well, what better way than with platform boots that come in various colors. Of course, the major color is black; however, this style is a throwback from the 1970’s, so you will see lots of loud, bright colors too. Rock on baby!
Beauty Answer: With a good regimen changes and results should be noticeable within 2-3 months. Just like with regular hair (or hair which grows from the scalp) everyone is different and for some the process can be quicker or slower. The key is consistency and realizing that lashes need a little attention on a daily basis. Eyelash growth treatments, serums and lash conditioners help to stimulate your eyelash growth cycle so that lashes grow in thicker, longer and darker.
Cheap Can Be Chic: Here’s a little trick if lash conditioners are not quite in the budget at the moment. Buy a moisturizing lip balm and apply a little to your lashes every night.
Now just so we are all on the same page we are not talking about those fad or drastic diets that can be quite harmful to your health in the long run. Nevertheless, it has been shown that a diet incorporating nutrients and protein can improve the condition of the hair keeping follicles strong. Which is great news because remember less breakage means length will be retained. Most women believe that their hair is not growing when in fact it is always growing. The issue is that when hair is not healthy or it breaks any length achieved is not noticeable.
It is recommended to add omega-3 oils into your diet to help get you on the way to Repunzel tresses. Nuts, almonds, supplements and salmon can help strengthen strands. One last word on dieting, if you are trying to grow your hair avoid yo-yoing at ALL costs. Such extreme dieting can cause stress and effect hormone levels thus affecting your hair.
We are fans of Ghanaian stylist Edward Enninful and we were delighted to see his latest work for W magazine. In the June 2015 edition, Enninful got to dress up the beautiful Jourdan Dunn for an editorial showcasing fashions we can’t wait to rock once the heat wave ends. Many of the season’s trends seem to spill on over i.e. stripes, florals and patchwork pants. Moreover, are we the only ones that are absolutely in love with those globe earrings? The entire editorial is simply genius and had an all star team to boot. Hair and makeup were handled by Shon Hyungsun Ju as well as Frankie Boyd and the shoot was lensed by Alasdair McLellan.
