Although that summer is about to end, fashion will still be a part of our everyday lives, especially for you guys who are about to venture into university life. So here are a few tips from me, the 'blazing' diva in the dancehall, on how to be stylish all the time:

1 Wear a hairstyle that suits your face
To be a true stylish diva you need to be able to style one hairdo multiple times and make it different.

2 Ensure that your clothes fit your body type
Your clothes must work for you. It is very inappropriate to wear tight jeans that bunches at the top. Ensure that your jeans accentuate your curves.

3 Dress for the occasion
Enough said.

4 Feeling comfortable in what you wear is a must.

5 FABulous shoes is a must!

6 Make sure you accessorise well
Accessories must complement your look, whether it may be in the form of a handbag, earrings or a necklace.

7 Always keep it simple
I would only suggest flamboyance for weddings or birthdays, but for parties just keep it simple and clean. Dressing up can be confusing if you don't know what you're doing. Dress down for the daytime although some divas are able to rock high fashion all the time and still be comfortable in it. However, I recommend flip-flops for daytime.

Tip: Put on your clothes then look in the mirror and see what will complement that outfit. That's what I always do!

8 Make-up is a plus
Your make-up should not be too dramatic unless it's the runway or the stage. For simple events like parties you don't have to go too much. Wear minimal make-up in the daytime. What you must do though is to make your make-up blend with your outfit.

9 Pick a colour that works for your skin tone.

10 Last, but not least, challenge yourself to fashion
DO NOT be reserved. Step out of the box and challenge yourself to be fashionable. You don't have to be conservative everyday.
