How to seize the day?

Everymorning you wake up you're given the opporunity to "seize the day", but sometimes you don't want to move. Hopefully this will help you guys get up and make the most of you life!

                               

Tip #1:
Wake up and take in the little things. Maybe you want to focus on how beautiful and soft that light seeping through your shades look, how gentle those sheets against your skin, or maybe how adorable (or hilarious) those snores sound coming from your dog across from you. Take a look out your window and let your eyes wander up to the beautiful sky , to the shiny sun, and wander down to the flowers and roses or the grass....Isn't mother earth beautiful?

Tip#2:
Take a few minuts to get your blood flowing. It doesn't take an hour yoga session to get your muscles warmed and ready for the day. Strech to the sky, and then to your side, and then take q deep breath while you reach to your toes.

Tip#3:
Open some windows just lettingsome fresh air in can relax your body and change your whole  mindset.

Tip#4:
If you're the kind of person who likes to wash their teeth before grabbing breakfast, like me,then so be it. But if you aren't, head to the kitchen inyour pajamas and messy hair.

Tip #5:
Drink a glass of water or maybe some berry tea or green tea before you eat your breakfast. Your system is almost dehydrated while you sleep, so usually when you wake up, your body is yearning for some ice cold water.

Tip#6:
Don't skip breakfast you'll learn tolove it when you get used to eating in the morning.

Tip#7:
Sit down and relax. Eat slowly and take in your surroundings. Walk into the day knowing it will be a great one. And if it's not? Make it a great one.

Fall-Winter 2014-2015 Women’s Fashion Trends

Say Goodby to summer and hello to fall or autumn. To be honest autumn is my favourite season  not because of my birthday wich is in october (lol)  but because of  the fashion.

That is why today i'll be showing you the top trends for this fall/winter 2014-2015. This seson features bold new silhouettes, modern and high quality materials, as well as bright colors and styles to rock your outfitts. 

Swinging 1960's

Left to right, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Saint Laurent.

This trend is seen everywhere from  Miu Miu, Valentino and Ralph Lauren to Gucci and Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton. As I have already mentioned the comeback of the old and forgotten pieces. So how about completing your outfit with a cool and shiny trench? I see awesome and elegant shift dresses, youthful and pin up updates, checkered and flared skirts, pale prints, etc.

Cozy knights

Left to right, Céline, Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs.

One of the most prominent trends for Winter was the comfortingly soft, full look in wool, as seen at Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and Céline. This trend works best in neutral tones. Some stylists say that the upcoming season can be cold as ice. If they are right, then why don't you try one some cozy knits on. That's a cool fashion trend, which is practical, warm and chic. We see slightly oversized silhouettes, as well as body-flattering shapes, cool pom-pom beanies, knitted gloves and skirts.

XXL coats

Left to right, Céline, Lanvin, Christian Dior.

An eternal classic, the ¾ length coat cut a longer length for this season. I love the idea of wearing oversized looks, as every piece looks statement and hide an extra few pounds. The bigger the better.

Goldmine

Left to right, Chloé, Prada, Saint Laurent.

Gold took to the spotlight as it cascaded across the Fall/Winter 2014-2015 runways. Making audiences want to hit the dance floor, the gold rush trend was seen at Saint Laurent, Prada, Chloé and Moschino.

Sportswear

Left to right, Miu Miu, Fendi, Louis Vuitton.

Sports are becoming basic factor in creating any look. It's practical, functional and easy to wear. The athletic esthetic continued to inspire designers this season, from From T by Alexander Wang to Miu Miu. Each item brought a cool, dynamic sportswear vibe to the runway.     

Millitary khaki  

                 

Left to right, Balmain, Calvin Klein, Isabel Marant.

It's time to step in line as military hit the runway for Fall/Winter 2014-2015. With khaki as the dominating color, the rules and rigor of the army captured designers' attention, inspiring a fashion soldier's uniform of stricter silhouettes and structured looks. Try edgy leather outerwear as well , some cool goggles,  and patched jeans.

How to build self confidence

Self confidence is a personal journey we're all going to take different paths but ultimately we're all on the same road and we're doing this together.

The word confidence is derived from Latin :

                                                      CON - FIDES   it means : WITH - FAITH
with faith in an ability in someone or in yourself. There are no right or wrong ways to build self confidence because right and wrong is subjective, everyone is on  a different path.

The tips I'm giving you today are universal, it's going to help, jump, start your journey.

 Remember that confidence is like a mental muscle,like muscle everyone is born with it but not everyone
 flexes it and if you want your muscles to grow stronger you got exercise. So here are my exercising tips:

Think positive thoughts:

Especially during moments when you're feeling down. So take a deep breath and remind yourself that life is too short and you got to make the best of it

 Listen to positive music:

Listen to music that will left your mood. A good beat and sound has been proven to help people in a positive way. Music and sound has been know to help the growth of plants, that says a lot ! You ant to have a healthy habit of maintaining this mental muscle, but you also don't want to over do it, everything in moderation because balance is key. It's good to remind yourself from time to time how worthy and how awesome you are but you also want to leave room to grow and improve, I mean we can all change for the better.

Instead on focusing on the negatives -which I know can be hard- focus on the positive. And it doesn't have to be a physical thing, maybe you are amazing at Mario kart or you're a brilliant pianist, an amazing painter a singer, have great grades at school.....
No one is perfect at everything and we are all made to be perfectly imperfect. Kind of like a crystal,
see it's not perfectly cut like a flawless diamond but it's beautiful  on it's own unique way. There won't be another crystal like another one and just like you it has many many facets, and you'll be discovering more of them as time goes by. And if you don't think you have a quality ask yourself the simple question : What am I good at? Everyone is good at something and if you don't know what it is, well  take this opportunity to find one. Sing up for cooking classes, painting classes, learn how to sing, play some sport pick up on a passion ans nourish it, because this helps build self worth. It gives you something to strive for.

The journey to build self confidence is not a lonely road, essentially everyone is on the same journey. Find someone you can trust and share your insecurities with. It feels good to let it out and just get it off your chest and if you feel like you don't have anyone to talk too, just go online, I mean that's kind of the beauty of the digital world. You can find a forum or a support group for anything and you can go on there and be yourself and share your thoughts, your insecurities without being judged and the best part you're going to remain anonymous.
 I know it's tough especially with these websites and apps, and you know it's so easy to find a picture or a video where it's going to make you feel insecure about yourself,but you have to stop obsessing about the cannot's and start focusing on the what can. What can I do to improve myself?
Everyone is going  to take a different  path, and maybe exercising, going back to school, coloring your hair getting rid of negative friends. I mean as long as you're physically and mentally not harming the person you love I see no wrong paths to take towards happiness.

Teaching, mentoring  and caring for others is the greatest gift you can give to others and yourself. Not only is the other person is going to feel better but you will too. LOVING OTHERS WILL INSPIRE YOU TO LOVE YOURSELF
And you know what? This journey is not going to be easy, there's going to be times when you want to give up when you're going to feel lost, you can't walk further down this journey so you have to remind yourself that if you want to build self confidence and you have to stay positive and that is ....

There is  this quote I found and that I really like :

Think like a proton and stay positive

A positive mind will open more doors, don't just limit yourself to one path and give yourself as many as you need until your reach your destination, and once you find your confidence enjoy it, savor it  and when you're feeling down bring that feeling back to your mind and remind yourself that this is an attitude you own and control it.

You are all perfectly imperfect and at the end of the day that is what makes you special. GOOD LUCK !

Love  ya

The Weeknd

The weeknd or Abel Tesfaye or as I like to call him " King Tesfaye" is a Canadian PBR&B recording artist andrecord producer who is known for his explicit songs that   are built around a fogged, crepuscular production and feature slow tempos, rumbling bass, and forlorn echoes.

The Weeknd sings in a falsetto register, and exhibits a pleading, anxious tone. His emotional, plaintive lyrics often express feelings of hurt and deal with subject matter such as sex drugs, and partying.

I discovered the Weeknd summer 2013 and Wicked games was my first song I've ever listened to by him, his super crude and explicit words fit perfectly with its heavy and slow beats creating a hazy atmosphere. his song got me thirsty to listen to his other masterpieces.

He never mars the inherent sensuality of r'n'b but he takes its festive side and replaces it with an icy realism. This sophisticated combination works beyond all, based on fantasies and hidden neuroses of the listener. 

The weeknd discography:

House of Balloons (2011)

Thursday (2011)

Echoes of Silence (2011)

Trilogy (2012)

Kiss Land(2013)

Let's be fit together

Hello guys so today's article will be quite long but i hope you will like it :). So shall we start?

Our bodies are everything, without them we are just wilted plants, we live in them, we're stuck in them for our whole lives. So why wake up every single day to something you're not proud of and make you feel bad about yourself. That's why we should stay in shape, because our appearances affects our moods,  so with a healthy mind, daily exercising and a good diet  we can and we will feel good mentally and physically.

Shaping the body of your dreams is not something impossible, difficult but not impossible it only takes some motivation to start and believe me that is all you need to change you life for ever 

(yes life).

So follow this rules to become a better you and to stay motivated the whole way through your healthy journey 

___________________________

RULE #1: Believe in yourself to the max. Know that everything will work out.

In fitness, in life…it all starts with your mind. Your focus. If you want to have something, get something, go somewhere – it is ALL POSSIBLE. I am serious. And you know what? Nothing can stand in your way but yourself. You ignite your flame. And you can make yourself shine brighter. No one else can. So don't ever say "ohh  i can't do  this","ohh I can't do that", don't give yourself that talk, don't be harsh on yourself. don't underestimate yourself. Because you know what? Yes you can!  You are capable of doing things you never thought you could your body can achieve extraordinary stuff if you believe in yourself. don't underestimate yourself. And if you’re not gonna believe in yourself, who will!!?? If you fail, you learn. Learn to do it right the next time. When you succeed, no one is going to pin you down for how many times you fell down getting there. The only thing that matters is that you got there. And you know what!? Even if it takes a while with trial and error, you’ll know the road so well that you can help mentor anyone else from making the same mistakes you did. Every part of your journey counts.

________________________

RULE #2: Delete negative people out of your life so that you can grow stronger and happier.

Surround yourself with positivity and positive people and rid your life of  toxic people, toxic thoughts and toxic relationships. Surround yourself with people that inspire you to be a better you. A healthy environment helps to create a healthy mind. 

________________________

RULE #3: You don’t fail until you stop trying. 

People who are successful are persistent and resilient. I mean, seriously, if you keep trying, you will eventually get where you want to go! You will. You just can’t stop until you get there.And when things get tough and you wanna quit…get in the  zone and push push push. You’ve got this!!!!

And finally .......

Rule #4: Be patient:

 Be patient. Changing yourself doesn't take one day or one week. It can takes weeks, months, years even; but you will get their eventually. So don't give up after a bad day there come always a new day tomorrow :)

Hope you  guys can apply this to the way you choose to live life passionately. I believe in you and so should you. You’re beautiful, strong, full of character, and unique. You can do ANYTHING.

Casual red

Hello so this is my first post here (assuming the introduction's not the first one). I just wanted to show you how my style is. As you can see I like to keep it casual and classic and neutral.

And I'm so into leather jackets and boyfriend jeans at the moment & I think they are the perfect combo for a simple and casual but also quite classy outfit. 

        So what do you think ?

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Hello people of the internet. 

So a long time ago I wanted to create a blog. I wanted to share my opinions, I  just wanted to talk that's all. But as a shy person, that was quite a challenge for me and I never had the courage to do it, I just couldn't and I didn't know how to deny that huge urge of creating a blog  kept crawling back to the surface even if I tried to bury it down (Sorry I don't know how that sounded like). So basically one day I took this notebook and i started writing down everything and anything, from simple thoughts to book reviews etc. But even that didn't help as much as I hoped it will ; and one day (25/07/2K14) I decided to jump into it and just do it. So instead of just writing down what I think of on my notebook I decided to write it down here and just share it with you guys instead of keeping it for myself.

I will talk about everything, literally everything (books, art, movies, current events, food,  health.......)  but of course the main thing that my blog will be about is fashion and anything fashion related .

I hope  that you guys will like my blog  and I hope that the things that I will be talking about will be interesting and this whole thing won't end up with me talking to myself ( if you know what i mean)

P.S : Sorry if their are any mistakes, english is not my mother tongue :)  

Zineb xoxo
