How to Make an Outfit Work for You

Here in the Philippines, wearing a simple shirt and jeans is more than normal. Why? It is because if you simply try to look at your surroundings, you won’t find anyone NOT wearing jeans. But here are two things you forgot about. First, you forgot about the type of shirt you can be wearing. Second, you forgot about your accessories.

The type of shirt you wear can be the difference between blending in with the crowd and standing out. Take the picture displayed on the left side of this paragraph for example, the black long coat combined with the “very funny!!” white shirt can turn you into the head turner you’ve always wanted to be; most of the time it’s the EXTRA stuff you put in into your outfit that makes all the difference. Think about it, the black long sweater is a very simple piece of clothing you can find at Zielah's Online Shop.

Now let’s take that coat off, still think the shirt can stand alone? Yes! If you add shoes to the sleeveless “very funny” shirt, you can still make a good first impression to the people around you.

In fact, there are a lot more sweater and shirt designs/colors you'll be able to find at Zielah's Online Shop! Here at Zielah's, it's always about looking better than your average Joe.

How Makeup can Add 30 Years to your Age

“You will never look beautiful unless you put on makeup.” This one sentence is what the fashion industry has instilled in your head. Now, we at Zielah’s Online Shop believe that this sentence has affected you in such a big way that you can’t even leave your own home without putting on shades of white and blue. However, did you know that constant application of makeup can add a few years on you? Everyone wants to look younger. So here’s how putting on makeup everyday can add 50 years to your exterior age.

+10 Years. Hair dyes can dye your age too

The Problem. Changing the color of your hair (especially if you get it right) will make you look stunning. It can even make you look younger. The new shade will invoke a fresh paradigm to the new you. Then again, did you know that these hair dyes contain hydrogen peroxide and ammonia? These two chemicals do much more than change the color of your hair. They dry it up and leave it with split ends. For your information, these are the chemicals industries use to whiten your teeth.

The Solution. First, if you want to look younger, avoid dying your hair too often. Once or twice a year is enough. Second, keep away from cheap hair dyes. The ones you can find that cost less than a hundred pesos. Go for hair dyes such as Revlon, Colours, Etude, and Loreal.

+20 Years. Concealers do not conceal your age

The Problem. Eye-bags do blunt your beauty, but too much of it can cause them to darken more. In addition, there is a big chance that the fine lines under your eyes will be enhanced when you apply layers upon layers of concealer. Why? It’s because the skin under your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate part of your face. Rubbing that too often can cause it to even bruise.

The Solution. Unless you’re a supermodel, using one layer of concealer is enough. Nevertheless, it’s still better to leave them the way they are especially if you’re still a student. You wouldn’t want to add another ten years to your exterior age. No, you want to look younger.

+30 Years. Foundation… too much foundation

The Problem. More than 90% of Filipino women think that being beautiful means having lighter skin. That’s why they put on awfully thick foundations to hide the imperfections and make them look younger. This, evidently, is a misconception. Being beautiful means applying the right amount and type of makeup that suits your skin-tone.  In fact, putting on a lot of foundation can lead to imperfections in your skin such as pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Moreover, it’ll even give you more wrinkles in the long run.

The Solution is pretty simple. Don’t apply too much foundation. Use just enough foundation to cover most of your facial skin imperfections. The foundation wasn’t designed to lighten your skin. In reality, too much foundation can not only lead to an older looking skin, but it can lead to a makeup malfunction. What does that mean? Well, it means the more foundation you use, the uglier you’ll look.

There No Such Thing as an Ugly Woman

Want to look like them? Click here!

Have you ever seen a lady walk by and tell yourself, “She’s ugly.”? After a few weeks, have you ever seen this same “ugly” person that you describe and finally find her beautiful? Ladies, it’s not about how you look or how much make up you put on that determines whether you’d be ugly or not. Don’t sit in a corner thinking you’ll never lose weight or never be as gorgeous as the models you see on the magazines. It’s about three main things: charisma, confidence and style. If you want to feel and look beautiful, follow these three steps and you’ll steal any show!

Step 1. Confidence

The most important aspect of your personality that you have to work on is your confidence. Learn to look up when you walk, don’t look down! Set your back straight and walk with poise. Let others know that you feel confident about yourself and make them see that nothing can put you down.

Step 2. Charisma

Charisma is defined as a persuasive charm or undeniable attractiveness that can influence and inspire the people around you. Now there’s a difference between being bossy and having charisma, being bossy is ordering people around. While being charismatic allows people to see you as a leader and an inspiration. So how do you do this? Simple. After gaining confidence, learn to be a little outgoing and learn to stand on your own two feet. For example, imagine yourself in a meeting filled with your bosses. If you have an idea, speak up and be heard. This is how you gain attention. There’s nothing more attractive than a woman knowing what she wants.

Step 3. Style

The last thing you have to tweak about yourself is your sense of fashion. The clothes you wear are as important as the words that come out of your mouth. Being well-dressed is the key to being beautiful. Take this for example, in a conference room, who would you nominate? The lady wearing a simple shirt and jeans, or the lady dressed up in a corset covered up with a blazer and tight skirt? Evidently, we don’t need to tell you the answer to that question.

Those are the three secrets to look and feel beautiful. It all starts in you. How can you look beautiful if you don’t feel beautiful? It doesn’t matter if you’re fat or you think you’re ugly, it’s all about these three steps. So if you want to start looking great, start today by checking and purchasing our fab dresses, tops, skirts and shoes!

Body-type: Hour-Glass Shape

Doesn't she look great in that dress? Order now by clicking here!

Shoulders:Broad

Hips: Wide 

Height: 5’2 to 5'4

Chest:Large

Waist: Average

Your Body-Type

You’re not fat; you just have an hour-glass shaped body. And let us tell you, if you wear the right clothes, people will never stop staring at you ever again (unless you don’t want them to stare). So why do they call you fat? It’s very simple. With the large chest and waist you carry, loose clothing, especially those with imprints, can grant an illusion that your stomach is as large as your chest. Go to your closet and throw out all your clothes that’ll make you look like a hipster; as much as possible, you have three great assets, your chest, your waist and your height.

Zielah’s Recommendation

Let’s start with dresses. Pick tight dresses that fit perfectly to your elegant body with the top portion of your chest slightly revealed to show off your god-like breasts. Keep in mind, the shorter the dress, the better. We have to concentrate on those smoking hot legs of yours. If you’re thinking jackets, then short and fitted jackets that start at your waist and finish a few inches below your hips will be perfect. This will make you look taller, showing off your curvaceous figure.

Body-type: Short and Slender

Shoulders: Narrow to Average
Chest: Small to Average
Hips: Slim to Average
Waist: No Definition to Rounded
Height: 5'1 and Below

Your Body-Type

You are slim, short and slender. Basically the three S’s that make a woman of your stature look extremely adorable while maintaining a casual sexy outlook. Being thin and slim has its ups and downs. Yes, your sweltering personality does go off the roof. Other times, you get those boyish greetings a lot more than what you bargain for. Enough of those compliments about your tomboy paradigm. It’s time for a change! Let’s put more femininity into that smoking figure. 

Zielah's Recommendation

It’ll be a good start to show off your neck. What ever you chose, show off your sexy hips.  Wear tight jeans and short shorts. If you want to be more casual, large prints will do the job. But, if you want to walk in the walls of Intramuros and be the head turner you've always dreamed about, go for our fab dresses! Give your fellow men and women a taste of what it's like to be gorgeous. Going for beautiful? Go for fab!
