KEEPING UP WITH THE TRENDS
HOW TO STYLE WITH A STATEMENT SHOE
Styling with a statement is a must have for 2019. What is the first item of clothing you look at? Shoes, right! And that is why it is so important if you are wearing a statement shoe, to style it properly. We suggest that if you are planning an outfit, base it around the shoe, what colours are on the shoes that you could use for inspiration for your top or bottoms? Could jewellery help add pizzazz to your look? maybe if you are wearing a designer shoe such as Gucci, maybe you could match the print on your shoes with your belt, let people know you put thought into this look and you're here to rock it!

BELEZA's five favourite fashion capitals of the world, may not be where you expect... of course everyone knows the big four capitals but do you know the others? No.1 on our list is Bogota, Columbia who have recently launched their first fashion week in 2018, and is at the epicentre of Columbia's fashion revolution. No.2 on our list is Lagos, Nigeria who have a refreshing take on global fashion. Nigeria's cultural hotspot sees designers and local fashion influencers combining modest dressing with bold colours. No.3 on our list is Sao Paulo, Brazil mixes pop culture and haute couture in South Americas fashion capital widely regarded as the largest after the big four. No.4 on our list is Shanghai, China nicknamed 'the Paris of Asia'.

Last but certainly not least, Kiev, Ukraine has gained a wave of international attention with new talents and most notably fashion's golden boy, Demma Gvasalia, creative head of Vetements and Balenciaga.
"sunglasses to spice your look"- river ivys
"A must have fashion piece is a pair of sunnies" River Ivys told BELEZA journalists, "sunglasses can make or break your outfit and can take it from a 5 to a 10, they are a great accessory to pull together your clothes with other accessories such as matching your nails to your sunglasses, this is a 10/10". Sunglasses have become a necessity for many over the past year of 2018, but will they continue to be on trend or will they fall out of par with the latest trends to come? "sunglasses are NEVER going out of fashion, they really do spice up your look". Sunglasses can range from £5 to £500, depending on the brand, but which are the best brands for sunglasses? "Ray-Bans are always a good option, although i have a pair of Louis Vuitton pair i still think some cheaper alternatives might just be better. I think that if you are trying to find a funky colourful pair, cheaper is the way to go as high end brands tend to keep their glasses more neutral and classy, where as shops like TopShop and River Island have more vibrant colours and shapes, making an outfit a whole lot more fun".
