personal style

Personal style tends to refer to one's external presentation of fashion choices, hair styles and personal grooming details like nails, facial hair, makeup, etc.  Personal style is the way in which individuals choose to combine colors, textures, prints, patterns, silhouettes, accessories and other particulars. Personal style has taken center stage in online conversations since the arrival of First Lady Michelle Obama. Bloggers like Mrs.O MichelleObamaWatch have been virtually obsessed with her personal fashion interpretations from the time President Obama began his campaign.

Fashion choices tend to reflect one's culture, status, individual taste, career and lifestyle. Beyond fashion, personal style is denoted by an individual’s hair style and color as well as makeup application colors and techniques. Men’s facial hair choices become signature components of their style.

Over time, only a few people really stand out as having a distinct personal style or way of carrying and presenting themselves to the world. Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Audrey Hepburn are two women who spark an immediate image of personal style.

  As discussed on Sunday, I have decided to explore wearing swimsuits as bodysuits, taking the plunge (no pun intended) and getting a Black Milk Ribs swimsuit. I had my eye on this since James first designed it, but for lots of reasons never felt I would be that comfortable wearing a bodysuit. But, as I always say, ...

• The Ombre Effect

  
  Kingdom Of Style — Authority: 415
  The walk to and from work from the bus stop is a 40 minute round trek alongside the windy and cold Clyde, so flat shoes have become an absolute necessity. I have become a bit lazy and tend to wear these ugly, big nubuck boots, which although amazing in the rain, snow and ice, are deeply unattractive. I do carry proper ...

  The lure of animal print and neon yellow together has been playing on my mind since seeing, and wanting, this Jimmy Choo clutch. Its a combination which just works really well. I also feel the neon lends the classic print more of a youthful aura when they are side by side. The silver in the centre is just the ...

  I don’t think it’s any secret that I am not good looking enough to pull of the James Dean look effectively (really who is?) but my Mom and I worked on a little shoot using brooding young star as inspiration during a unseasonably warm afternoon in January.

  Do you ever go through phases of having a shop which just seems to sell everything you want? For me, at the moment, its Zara. Zara is usually massively hit or miss with me and I can go months without stepping foot in the shop. But lately their stock is really appealing to me. Having secured the much desired leather ...
