Clothing essentials for summer

Hello all, sorry I haven’t written in so long ;( I’m back now & I want to share with you my Fashion must haves and must nots for travelling !

MUST HAVES:

 1. A little white dress

This is an essential summer must have if you are wanting to achieve that effortless European style whilst remaining cool in the sun. Also a perk of having a white dress or Playsuit is that it goes with anything, any shoes or bag which maximises out your outfit choices when traveling.

 

 2. A pair of relaxed denim shorts 

When I say relaxed I mean loose and comfy, because on holiday its hot and there is nothing worse than having a pair of shorts that kind of fit in at home but are way to tight when your hot and well a little sun-creamy. Denim shorts are essential for summer when pulling off the relaxed chick beach bum look (its my fav)

 

 3. Platform sandals

 

These are defiantly my must haves and first in the bag each year! They are a total lifesaver when heels are a no no. Perfect for evenings or the day they are even sand proof – (well you can walk on the sand in them with as much difficulty as flip-flops 🙂 Plus they make your legs look gorgeous when in shorts or a dress !

 

Okay so those are my 3 essentials when it comes to packing, but there are also 3 key Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to traveling stylishly.

DO’S & DON’TS: 

1. DO — Smooth out your clothes on the bed and carefully roll them when packing, don’t fold. This should prevent any major creases and when travelling it helps creates more space for that extra pair of shoes or bag!.

2.DONT — Take loads and loads of Bikini’s, two or three pairs is more than enough if you love them, and make sure one of them is black as your guaranteed it will survive the sun cream stains that white bikinis are prone to + they make your tan look better.

3.DO — Take moisturiseer on the plane with you, and try to avoid wearing makeup, as planes are prone to drying out and dehydrating your skin which can lead to spots! which is not wanted for our summer look. So make sure to take care of your skin when in the air.

Love Wiz X.

The Shoes for your stocking…

Marc Jacobs sends us running for his shoes this winter…

I know fashion is taking a hit of sequins and metallic EVERYTHING, so take it down a notch, wear the classic items, just pair them with a little sequins or a shimmer of metallic, to push your outfit into this seasons party vibe. Like these gorgeous Marc Jacobs signature heel boots, perfect for a party and a shopping spree, with just the right amount of both heel and boot, to go with practically anything. These sequin chelsea Kim boots come in two daring colours,and are taking the fashion industry by storm.

I mean love metallics and are all for them, but never really wear much sequins, think because its a throw back to my Sharpay days with pink sequins every where. But now we can indulge in trending sequins, and I could almost die for a pair of these cute, cute! boots. Like how does someone even think this up, the absolute perfect combination of sequins and perfectness—Boots with the heel and the sparkle!

For me I would Defiantly pair these with a little black dress and a black faux fur jacket-maybe black feathered jacket. And a little bag with silver dangly earring’s just to finish the look off. Oooo and the finishing touch a gorgeous smoky eye look…Perfect !

All my love for those shoe lovers out their….Dotwiz X.

|Power of Edge|

“Power of Edge” My GCSE Art Title for this term. so i’m just going to go straight in and skip all the words and phrases I have to write in my sketch book- i’ll just show you the images and I think there pretty cool !!!

SO… these are my original photographs, with “EDGE” being interpreted as fashionable edgy, But i wanted to add a bit of sparkle

SO… i used my all time favourite tool photoshop to mess around with layering and all that jazz. 

Playing around with “EDGE” also meaning a sharp Edge…lol. And btw the tatoo’s are because I’m linking my themes of feminism and power together with this theme of “power of Edge”. Let me know what you think will be posting more DOTWIZ glamour over the weekend. Also forgot to say… it was modeled by my mum !!, but all photography is origninal to me.

B & W Portrait Photography

I started the summer off with a title ‘Expressive energy’ my GCSE art topic. Which lead onto facial expressions. Now painting and drawing stunning portraits I find a little tricky so I tend to go along the path of abstract paintings or photography which I love.

So I grabbed my brother (the poser in the photographs) and hauled him into our sitting room where I set about controlling the light with barn doors, and I used a  reflective background on the photographs which I wanted to express his whole face.

I used my beginners EOS Digital camera, on manual setting with a shutter speed of 100 matched with IOS 800 and F5.6. I loved this combination as I found it blocked out the background allowing myself to effectively be able to put my camera on a Black & White setting, enhancing the colour grading and shadows even more dramatically.

I hope you liked my my photography portrait examples any enquires please feel free to email myself via dotwiz@outlook.com

Keep an eye out for more of my photographs and my Light room experiences X.

SIMPLY STUNNING

 

Whilst  trecking across the crisp winter fields, allowing shorts  (my v.fury dog) to enjoy his night time sniffs, the sun started to disappear leaving behind a trail of colour and beauty. Along our walk I knelt behind large puddles and ponds to catch the sunset in the reflection and the sky,magnifying the colours.Photographs taken by my Iphone 6 then edditd via photoshop. LOVES WIZ X.

 

 

 

 

 

 

LITTLE WINGS IN THE FLOWERS …

The little wings hiding in the flowers … yellow, black and all to fluffy. Bees tiny little bumble bees, which always remind me of fairy’s dancing around the flower beds collecting pollen and bringing the flowers alive.

So when i was in our garden watering the flowers only to realise i was scaring away the little bumble bees, i ran beck inside to grab my camera and take a snap shot of the little creatures, in there own tiny world, doing there   own tiny jobs, like we do ours.

And i wondered what it would be like to live a simple life where you flyaround the flowers collecting pollen to take home and turn into sweet honey which i don’t actually know if they even eat or not, but there we go.

And when i was lost in my own thought i got lost even more by imagining all the tiny or big lives that go n around us how every one animal or human insect or bird. how we are all doing the same thing. Travelling out of our homes to work ad collecting money or pollen in which we use to look after our selfs and the bees use to make honey.

But both of us getting lost in our own lives, and how the bee was so busy collecting his pollen that he didn’t notice me which my camera peering into his life, and how many little creatures we must not notice in our daily life yet all of u are doing the same thing, but all of us clueless to each other.
