It's time once again to take stock of what's for the dump and what should be on your to-do list for the next shopping spree. Hello ... Goodbye is keeping you in the loop.

Shimmer lip gloss
Bling is back and shimmer lip gloss is the new evolution to this shine craze. Paired with bold colours, this easy-wear glitter and sparkle-filled gloss is sure to add spunk to your five-minute face.
Tip: When placing accenting the lips, ensure to tone down eye make-up for a more balanced look.
Ruffled tops
Ruffles are an excellent way to tastefully add texture to a garment. With just a few perfectly proportioned layers of fabric placed around the sleeves and neckline, you're sure to add playfulness and sophistication to this otherwise simple silhouette. Try pulling the sleeves off the shoulder and pairing it with leggings and pumps for a chic evening look.
Cellphone skins
From flips to sliders to slenders, it's obvious mobile phones have invaded streets everywhere. However, despite the mobile mass appeal, these hand-held devices have failed to add flair to the owner's personal style.
Although the availability of top 20 ring tones has partially solved the problem, the emergence of 'skins' is sure to permanently fix this style setback. With coloured covers alongside flower and dragon imprints and even textures such as rhinestones and furs, this easy add on is sure to enhance your look.
Bubble chains
Bubble chains have had quite a long stint on the fashion scene, showing great versatility in both day and evening wear. Despite this, bubble chains place too much emphasis on the neckline, often shortening its appearance and adding weight. These pearl necklace wannabes have overstayed their welcome.
Banana clips
Although useful in holding pony tails together, banana clips lose major points in the style arena. Their use often results in a cone-shape appearance of the head and also leaves the hair looking imprisoned. Survey says ... goodbye!
