This Weeks Fashion Rundown: Sci Fi Glam

After watching the movie UGLIES last year, it got me thinking about Sci Fi fashion. How WILL we dress in 2070? How about 2300? 4100?

Whether you loved or hated the movie, or haven’t watched it, I’m sure you’re thinking about how fashion will change and evolve over the years.

I’ve made posts about vintage fashion, royal fashion, 2000s preppy fashion, and ultra-modern/contemporary fashion, but what about future fashion? And make it glam obviously.

SHINE, SHIMMER, SPARKLES!

Obviously, these elements are some of the key things when it comes to future fashion. Think a shimmery top with leather pants, or a sparkly bodycon (or generally form fitting) dress. Or add sparkly jewellery.

THROW ON SOME GLAM HEELS

When I picture sci-fi glam, I picture a party at the rooftop bar of a high tech skyscraper. And what’s a true party without a pair of killer heels? Just like before, sparkles is a good bet, or try hot pink.

NEON IT UP

If sparkles and shimmers aren’t for you, try neons! Remember the BRAT fashion from last year? Similar to that, but don’t just stick to greens, try blues, pinks, purples, oranges, and yellows. Maybe a neon purple dress, or a yellow top and pink skirt.

STOMP WITH SOME BOOTS

In a lot of sci-fi movies, the kick ass heroine would wear leather boots! And this brings me to my next point.

BE IN THE MOO-D FOR SOME LEATHER

Sci fi fashion doesn’t have to just be about sparkles and neons. Try some leather to really toughen up your look.

Aside from boots and pants, as I mentioned earlier, try leather jackets paired with a leather skirt.

METALLIC CAN REALLY STEEL THE SHOW

It would be impossible to mention sci-fi fashion without at least mentioning metallic looking prints somewhere. Adding ripped tights and leather heels, and also, Men In Black style sunglasses can add a galactic lift to your outfit.

BE A STAR

By wearing a star top, that is. How else are you going to channel galaxy without an homage to the stars?

YOU GLOW GIRL

Glowy dresses at night look incredible and truly add some high tech flair to your outfit. DIY this one and grab a sparkly dress and sew some LED lights such as fairy lights into your dress. Ask for some help if you need to.

TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THE NOVI STARS

The Novi Star was a doll line in the early 2010s, complete with a website full of video games, and a live action music video. The Novi Stars are glamorous alien girls and have some out-of-this-world outfits.

SOAR HIGH!

And have fun trying out these super-stellar looks.

This Weeks Fashion Rundown: Valentines Day

Hey readers!

I’m back, and I’m juicier than ever.

Valentines Day is just around the corner, and if you’re in a romantic relationship, or even going on a hot date that night, you gotta start thinking about what to wear on Valentines Day.

Even if you’re just hanging out with a close knit group of friends, spicing up your outfit with a bit of fun will really really help you enjoy yourself because you are feeling yourself.

MAKE SURE THAT OUTFIT POPS

Whether it’s a sparkly silver bag, glammy red lipstick, or show-stopping heels, try to pick at least one statement point to really make your whole damn look click.

THINK ABOUT THE ELEMENTS

Make sure there isn’t too much of one fabric like leather or cotton in your whole outfit (this includes elements like dress/top&bottoms, heels/flats, and bag)

If you’re wearing a leather jacket, bag, and pants, wear a silk top and suede heels to balance it out.

Also, a whole colour might be too much, so try to at the very least offset a whole colour outfit (like red) with some silver or gold jewellery.

Or replace your red heels with black heels.

REMEMBER THE VALENTINES COLOURS

The main valentines colours to signal love are red, white, and pink, but a bit of silver or gold never hurt anyone either. That’s what wedding rings are made out of, after all.

Use those colours as a starting point to put together your outfit if you are really stuck!

Valentines day is also all about hearts, so you could potentially wear a top or dress with a big heart or small heart pattern on it.

PLAY AROUND WITH MAKEUP

Aside from the classic red lip, a pink lipgloss or red lipgloss are good options.

For eyes, try a smokey eye or some pink eyeshadow.

Unless you want to go for a super bold look, only do red eyeshadow with a subtle lip, like a clear or pink lipgloss.

Don’t forget about blush too! A pink or subtle red blush can really bring the LURVE to your look.

Eyelash curler with mascara! Gotta get those fluttery lashes to bring out your inner flirt.

Concealer is vital! Especially if you’re having a long night.

For hair, try a blowout wave or 50s style curls. If you straighten your hair, add a fun hair accessory in your hair.

And most importantly,

HAVE FUN

Whether you’re on a hot date with someone new, a romantic date with a significant other, or a fun night with friends, please remember to have fun and enjoy yourself!

And be comfortable in what you’re wearing. If you are pulling and scratching your outfit all night, you won’t feel sexy.

Enjoy your night.
