Need Inspirations In Life? Here are 3 Sources

There has been this general consensus that Singaporeans do not know fashion and beauty. One can easily identify a Singaporean not only by the way we speak, but by the way we dress – tank tops, shorts and flip flops (guilty)! However, underneath this seemingly lack of concern of fashion, there are still some parts in us that yearned to dress nicely and we turn to these sources for inspirations:

1.     Fashion Magazines

The traditional source of inspiration showing pages and pages of models dressed in the most fashionable clothing of the season. In addition to clothes, these magazines also provide the latest reviews on skin care and cosmetics products that always look like they can cure a million skincare problems. The downside of magazines these days are that they are rather costly and heavy to carry around (because there are so many beautiful things to show)! Not to worry though, the availability of e-magazines means that you can browse them easier on the go.

Flashy covers and attractive headlines. How many times have we wished that we can look like these models?

2.     Instagram

Whoever started the #ootd hashtag ought to be given a prize. There are tons and tons of photos on Instagram that shows how ordinary people like you and I can spice up our wardrobe or coordination of clothes, possibly at a cheaper price. All you need to do is to find a few users that you like and follow their daily #ootds for useful inspirations that you can make use of! I especially like that we can follow anyone around the world and get a taste of what fashion means in their countries.

3.    Online Communities

No time to browse magazines or Instagram? Find it too troublesome to see who are the good Instagram users to follow? How about a all-in-one website that gives you a quick overview of what you need from fashion to beauty or even other lifestyle needs that you have? Online communities like Zalora community aims to do just that. Like Instagram, the contents are crafted by people who interested in sharing their opinions on almost everything under the sun. While a picture paints a thousand words, pictures with words paint even more – think free tips on skincare or cheat sheets on perfecting makeup skills!
