2022 Year is the year of the Tiger

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2022 is the year of the tiger, starting February 1st, 2022 and lasting until January 21st, 2023. The Chinese Zodiac is made up of 12 animal signs and also moves through the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth and metal) in 12-year cycles.

This coming year will be the year of the water tiger and actually many things can be already found in shops in tiger look – from small tiger figures to clothing and accessories. I found a sweet Christmas hat with a tiger pattern and matched it with a cheetah look Zara Shirt and cream fake leather pants in a fashionway.

Bikini Trends 2021

After so many months at home and under lockdown everyone is dreaming about a holiday. Despite the current situation we should do our best to stay optimistic and plan for some days on the beach in the summer (I had the chance to go to the beach this year already during my visit to Dubai). In that line of thought I want to share with you some bikini trends for the upcoming hot days.

Asymmetric bikini – they flow along the body and set interesting accents with unusual cut-outs or reversed straps – for instance one-shoulder or cut-outs on the waistline in pink or other „sweet“ colors.

Exotic prints in zebra, snake or leopard looks, but not in bright colors. Instead of that in pastel, toned-down colors, because that makes the animal patterns look elegant.

Multi-functional bikinis – the ones that are not only for the beach, but can also be worn on the way there or even when going out – for instance a short top with boxer pants.

But all in all remember that trendy is what fits you the best, no matter the trend – even a sweater with bikini pants, matched well, on a beautiful sunset.

Leo fever

Almost every year animal prints like leo, snake, etc, become a trend and now in the fall/winter season are again on the scene in many collections of the famous designers. Specially the leo fever is at its peak – a shirt, a blouse, a coat, a skirt, a bag and so on – every item can be an eye catcher.

I’m not wearing leo prints very often but every now and then I do appreciate it – and this day I decided to go “wild” – classic jeans and a leopard shirt. And as my favorite animal is the cat, I’m also in love with this huge one – powerful and graceful like the real thing.

So, if you don’t know what to wear because we women always say we have nothing to wear, choose a leo item and match it in the outfit in a fashioway.
