beanies

hey guys, bella here.
i just wanted to write all about beanies. i think they are really fashionable, comfortable, practical and can spice up any outfit.
so first of all they can be bloody itchy and make you all hot and flustered, so its all about finding the right beanie for you.
so basically it has to be warm, comfy, soft and really fashionable.


billabong, rip curl, Roxy, vonzipper and quicksilver all do really good beanies as they are surf and snow brands. so they can get the right fabric and style.

Cossie Couture

Hey girls,
Bel here with all you need to know about finding the best swimming costume for you! Yes I know that Summer is over, but it is still warm, and finding a cossie for yourself is really fun! I think one of the most important things about choosing the right cossie is feeling comfortable in it. If when you wear it, you find yourself covering yourself, tugging at it all the time or just not feeling good, its not the right one.

Make sure you choose one with a design you really like. There are so many out there that it can get very hard to decide! There are three types of swimming costumes: bikini, tankini and full piece. It all comes to what you like and feel good in. Here are some pics to give you some ideas:

Floral

Classic





Girly

Flowy

fashion doesn't have to be high end or classy and perfect and neat. i think a balance between the two is great but everyone has their own personal style.
take me i am beachy surf style but Bel is classic casual and its what ever works for you.


affordable fashion is great when your young IE. 13-20 y.o because your still growing, you have a good time and it means you can mix your wardrobe up

Sketching Fashion

If your are interested in designing fashion you will need to know some basic skills - one of the most important is being able to sketch your idea. In this post, I will give you tips on drawing and designing clothes and give you a few examples to get you started.

How to put your fashion idea onto paper:

1. First, close your eyes and imagine the outfit in your mind. It helps to have a clear idea of what you are trying to draw.

2. Get your sketchbook and a simple HB or 2B lead pencil.

3. Slowly sketch your design onto the paper going over lines to make them perfect. It always helps to draw your design onto a model. You don't have to draw faces, but it can look nice.

4. Once you've roughly drawn your design, go over the lines if necessary.

5. Optional: Now is the time to colour your design in. I often don't do this but have the idea in my mind. It is totally up to you. A coloured-in fashion can be seen clearly, but can also sometimes get a bit messy.

Here's an example of a design that I drew myself:

I drew bags, tops, and beachy clothes on the model. Its all quite simple when you get the hang of it. I'm not pro, but I have put up some amazing professional designs for you to get inspired:

Have fun designing and be sure to leave a comment if you need any more help! And if you want to show us the designs YOU have drawn, write us a message:)
Until very very soon,
