5 Must-Have Beauty & Style Trends for 2014 by AwedbyMonica

Monica Etuk New Year Stylish You - BellaNaija - January 20140015.
I know January is almost over but being my first post for the year 2014, I will start by saying Happy New Year and I hope you all entered the New Year right! With that said we need to make sure 2014 is a super stylish year as trends and must- haves are already rolling in. So to help you get into the stylish new year flow, here are some style tips to make sure this will be your most stylish year yet. Enjoy.

1. Getting Fit
Unlike most, I am not going to ask you to hit the gym and lose 50 pounds, instead I am going to encourage you to make realistic goals and make sure you buy the right pieces for your size. Don’t be fixated on the size tag on the garment you want to buy – not all designers use the same size chart, I can attest to this because my closet consist of sizes ranging from XXS  to L, depending on how I want an item to fit. Instead opt for pieces that “fit” you perfectly and are not under or over sized.

Monica Etuk New Year Stylish You - BellaNaija - January 20140034
Also sizes that are too big do not hide your sins it only adds on more pounds so be careful of that.

2. Clothing Trends to Follow
Monica Etuk New Year Stylish You - BellaNaija - January 20140031 
I think it is clear to say that the most popular fashion trend right now is the midi skirt. There are two characteristics of the skirt that make it a midi – the high waist and the hem-line. It can be fitted, flared or mermaid, as long as the skirt falls mid calf and the waist hits the natural waistline or above. We have seen the silhouette in a variety of fabrics and the skirt looks fabulous in almost every variation.

3. Accessory Trends

Statement pieces have reigned as the accessories to have for a while now. Although statement jewelry is still very popular, the key jewelry pieces to have this year are fine and dainty.

We have seen the likes of Beyoncé, the Kardashinas, and Kerry Washington etc all sporting this trend. The look is understated and gives off a sexy-sophisticated vibe making it a trend to replicate.

4. Hair Trend
Monica Etuk New Year Stylish You - BellaNaija - January 20140016 
I am a true weave fan. I love my weave long and natural, however I can guarantee that I will definitely explore with the ever popular shoulder length bob. The year is still quite new and many are trading in their long locks for a more sophisticated shoulder length hairstyle. The length is classic and yet on trend making it the perfect modern/classic look for 2014.

5. Skin and Makeup Trends
Monica Etuk New Year Stylish You - BellaNaija - January 2014001 

2014 is all about beautiful skin. Flawless skin is totally in and once your skin is flawless you have no need to  have overdone makeup. Key tools like Clarisonic will keep your skin exfoliated and feeling beautiful everyday. Microdermabrasion and skin peels are also key, however the most important factor is water – drink, drink and drink some more because water should be your skin’s best friend. Water is so good for you and will ultimately give you a glow you would want to keep.

This is only the beginning lovelies. Stick to this page this year as we continue to explore all the necessary trends to have those that are yesterday’s news. Don’t forget to share what trends you are loving and will be trying this year to bring out your inner stylista.

He calls himself Mattade, but I have decided to call him superboy and the reason for this is not farfetched.  Just watching him perform on GLO Naija sings, one could not help but notice this innocent looking, pretty faced boy with a deep seated singing capacity. I mean, his unassuming built will make you stop to wonder if the dexterity of voice and depth is really coming out from the guy you see on the stage. Well, the show is over and for Mattade who came 1st-runner-up, the business of music is just beginning.  And just a few months after the show, Mattade is serenading his teeming fans with his music. He teamed with fellow contest, Vicky whom he featured on one of the songs titled 'Marry Me'
