Quick Tips!!! How to keep your clothes looking NEWER for LONGER!!!
As we all know keeping your stylifik wardrobe up to date can be costly, however if you adopt some key practices you can maximise the life span of your existing wardrobe. Below is some key tips on how take care of your clothes.
Clothing do’s
Check you’re garments for stains, smells and lint when you take them off. If the garment seems clean, hang it up and wear it again. Excessive washing can reduce the quality of garments.
Use quality hangers, as this ensures you’re clothes maintain their shape.
Always follow the cleaning instructions, on the label of garments.
Always sort clothes before washing and always wash light, darks and coloured clothes separately.
Always iron clothes on the appropriate heat settings, as an iron too hot can burn/ruin material.
Clothing don’ts
Don’t over crowd your wardrobe as this crushes your garments, which then means you will need to iron them which further strains the material.
Don’t leave spots or stains to set in garments, always treat them as soon as possible.
Don’t use too much detergent when washing your garments, as it weakens the material and can cause skin irritation.

5 Ways to Store & Organise Your Handbags & Purses on a Shoe String Budget
Picture this scenario…
Because of your undivided love of Stylifik handbags and purses, you now own so many you could possibly open your own handbag store. In essence this is great because you have a wide variety of handbags, which probably go with most the outfits in your closet.
But the question is where or how do you store them?
If you’re anything like me (well how I used to be) you probably pack away the ones you don’t wear as much, in to storage solutions like containers, boxes, store away bags etc. Then you get all give yourself a nice pat on the back, because after all you have now created some much needed space in your bedroom.
So what’s the problem you may ask?
Well isn’t it a pain in the behind when you realise the very next week, or (even next day) you desperately need to wear that handbag, you just happened to pack away.
So what do you do?
Forget about that specific handbag, and just wear the first bag that you can find……….Yeah Right! You go back through all the storage solutions, to find that one precious handbag. At this point you’re probably stressed, and don’t even mention the mess you’ve now made, and have to clean up by packing away your handbags, and purses AGAIN!
Well hold on to your seats guys as I have 5 sure fire ways, to keep those handbags and purses organised on a budget.
1. Hang your handbags on hangers, and place them in your wardrobe.
Hanging your handbags on hangers and then placing them in your wardrobe will keep your handbags scuff free, neat, organised and save you huge amounts of room space.
Not enough space to hang all your handbags in your closet?
No worries simply place the smaller handbags inside of larger ones, this will give you some much needed space. Also remember to sort them by colour, as this will make it easier for you to find your required handbag.
2. Hang your handbags on coat hooks
The great thing about this idea, is that you can get as creative as you like. For example you could cover the wall entirely with your handbags, creating a new Stylifik way of decorating!
3. Use an over the door shoe organizer.
There are two types of over the door shoe organizers, the first is the metal organizer.
The metal organizer is my favourite because it has no plastic pockets, therefore it can hold your handbags as well as your purses.
Pros: Because the holder is metal, it can hold different size handbags and purses
Cons: Your purses may occasionally fall out when you open and close the door as there is no plastic pocket to secure them
The second type of over the door shoe organizer, is the plastic shoe organiser. The plastic shoe organiser, is designed with plastic pockets. Some even have flaps to keep your shoes or purses (as we are discussing), securely inside.
Pros: The plastic pockets will keep your purses from falling out
Cons: You can not store handbags
Cons: Some purses may not fit in to the plastic pockets, as the pockets may be too small
The beauty about over the door shoe organizers, is that some of them hold up to 18 pairs of shoes. Now in terms of storing your handbags and purses, you would be saving a LOT of space.
4. Stand your handbags and purses up like books, on a shelve above your closet.
This is a great idea as it will keep your handbags neat and tidy, and it will also give you a clear view of all your handbags and purses. This in turn will blissfully eliminate the need to ransack all your neatly packed storage solutions, to find one handbag.
I mean think about it………..it really doesn’t get any better than opening your wardrobe, and seeing neatly seated handbags and purses on the top shelve, clothing neatly set on hangers in the middle, and shoes carefully placed in the bottom.
Believe me your bedroom will thank you a plenty for doing this!
5. Use clear plastic boxes
Using clear plastic boxes can be a great way of storing your handbags and purses, as you can take photos of your handbags and purses, and place it on the front of the boxes, so you know exactly what’s in each box.
Plastic boxes are also stackable, so arranging your handbags and purses according to the seasons, how frequently you use them or size will drastically help you find, your favourite accessories easily every time.

15 Effective handbag & Purse Care Tips!
It’s your best friend, it holds you’re most treasured possessions and you would never leave home with ought it.
So it makes sense to know how to look after it, read on for Bags of serene’s top handbag and purse care tips.
Handbag do’s
When you’re handbag is not in use, store it in a soft pillow case.
Always handle your bag with clean hands, as this prevents oil stains, make up stains and dirt marks.
If you change bags a lot consider using a bag liner, as this will help you change bags with ease and contain spillages that happen inside your bag.
When cleaning your handbag, always use soft cloths or soft tissue.
If you are going to use any lotions or cleaning liquids to clean your bag, always put the liquid on the cloth/tissue and not the bag it’s self.
Always tuck chains inside of your bag when not in use, as chains can leave dents and scratches in the material of the bag.
Handbag don’ts
Don’t leave you’re bag on the floor at the hair dressers as splashes of hair dye, perms etc can permanently mark your bag.
Don’t carry biros in light/tan coloured bags, try using a pencil instead as biro stains can be hard to remove.
When storing your bag use bubble wrap instead of tissue paper, this will help keep the bags shape and prevent moths.
Never use harsh/rough materials to clean your bag, as these can leave scuff marks and scratches on your stylifik handbag.
Bag safety
Keep your bag in sight at all times.
Always keep your bag firmly closed (I.e. fully zipped up) to prevent thieves, being able to dip their hands inside.
Remember it’s very easy to lose things from an open bag.
If the handles on you’re bag is short either hold the bag tightly in your hand, or carry it in the crevasse of your arm. This will reduce the likelihood of your bag being pulled from you.
If visiting places where it’s likely to be crowded, consider using a messenger bag which goes across your body. Be sure to keep it in front of you.

Exclusive: Keisha Buchanan to sue the Sugababes !!!!
I just knew this was coming…..
Keisha Buchanan has finally had enough of the bitching and the weak attempts to tarnish her name, the ex Sugababe has now appealed to the high court, to enforce that the Sugababes change their name, or pay her a one off lump sum.
A source said “Keisha was an integral member from the very beginning so it is easy to understand why she is acting like this. She even came up with the band’s name with fellow founder member Mutya Buena and deserves something for making the Sugababes what they are today.”
Real Talk: I make Keisha right on this one, there are no ORIGINAL members in the current line up, so it’s only right that they change the bands name!
Uh Oh!! Now Ashley Roberts QUITS the PussyCat dolls!!!!
Therefore the only remaining members are Nicole and Melody, maybe they could change their name to the Pussy Cat duo…….ummm maybe not!
