Dressing to impress is a must these days, especially when there are one million and one amazing designers out there!
Dressing to impress has in fact never been easier and with boutiques and department stores offering the likes of personal stylists, finding a piece to suit your figure is now as easy as A, B, C!
So what should we be looking into for 2011? Well the fashion shows showcased a plunging neckline, sheer fabrics, maxi skirts, lady like glamour, lace attire, crochet and macrame, tassels, woman’s tailored tuxes, pleats, bell bottoms, swim wear and bikinis, wide legs, capri pants, tall hems with dresses appearing longer at the back, jump suits and playsuits and of course crop tops!
Confused about what to buy? We thought you might be…sometimes choice is a good thing but other times it throws us off the mark. You may have had a perfectly clear image in your mind of exactly what you wanted! But when confronted with an array of other designs, fabrics and cuts, it throws us off the goal in mind!
The best thing to do is to stick to cuts and fabrics you know suit you but update these by investing in the new seasonal trends. Add a few statement accessories in order to bring the look to life and invest in one ‘spoil yourself’ expensive piece!
Mixing your old clobber with a few new season essentials is a must and also a great way to save a little if you are on a budget! Don’t think you must hide all of last season’s attire at the back of your wardrobe just solely because it is last season, simply dress it up and update it a little with a few fresh items from the new season.
A trusty pair of black skinnies should be an investment and certainly don’t have to be updated every season, they go with just about every thing and if purchased from a good store will no doubt last you years!
This rule also applies to a good pair of boots, such as a 1970′ style boot for example. This is one pair of shoes that will again go with everything from cutesy dresses and leggings to jeans and office attire.
A bag is another investment piece and shouldn’t need to be replaced every season if you choose wisely, think of something that will go with absolutely everything rather than a statement piece, choose a nude or black or brown leather in order for it to match most outfits and keep it at a medium size. This is a piece that you pick up everyday and wear with absolutely everything so don’t go for a statement neon shade! Keep you over the top pieces to other accessories such as smaller clutches for an evening out, a pair of killer heels and jewellery.
Team highstreet with high end and you will have a look that screams expensive but won’t break the bank.
On trend fashions for this season include the likes of hot hues with statement embellishments, body con in block colour is also back and a great idea for an evening on the tiles.
This season colour is being showcased as over the top and in your face bright! If it is not bright enough to turn heads then it is simply not cool enough! This is the perfect chance to have fun with hot hues and cause a statement style for the new summer season.
Even balance your new colourful closet with biscuit beiges or alternatively, if you are feeling brave enough, other contrasting hot bold hues! Try teaming hot pink and orange together or alternatively sorbet lemon and bright blue or another option green grass and vivid bright ocean blue.
A bright tux is a must have this year and it is also the perfect way to dress up an otherwise subtle outfit. Think hot pink with a black collar or super vivid blue. Throw over an otherwise simple look and will guarantee to turn heads.
Guys tailoring is another trend back in for girls and is great news for any office girls who like to look on trend both at work and after work, this style will certainly see you straight from the office and into the cocktail bar! Think mannish tailoring, brogues, satchels and Alexa style bow ties.
It summer and that means one thing, rain or shine your summer clothes must come out to play! Socialising al fresco is a must and what to wear is the query on everybody’s minds!
The more rain there is the trickier choosing something can become! So what are the fail-safe rules for outdoor dressing?
When it comes to BBQ’s and beach parties, flats are essential, trying to walk on grass or the sand in heels is a no go. Balmy summer nights and hot days also require something that is cool and carefree as appose to something heavy and uncomfortable!
Dressing for a quirky summer event requires you to mismatch your look a little. Toughen up your outfit by teaming a feminine number with a biker girl jacket or heavy biker boots. The A-list are loving the headwear at present and it’s a great way to protect your head from the sun when it does eventually decide to shine! Three quarter jackets are a great way to keep the chill off your shoulders yet still keeps the look summery and when it comes to a cute summer ensemble, the key is to look like your not trying! The fashions of the past are huge this season and really work well for summer! Take maxi dresses, everyone should own at least one! Not only do they keep the chill of your legs they look great with sandals and bling jewellery for a more dressier occasion! Bring on the summer heat wave…
For those people that don’t want to have to carry a large purse with them, or simply don’t need to carry many items with them, perhaps their driver’s license, mobile phone or credit or debit card, the wristlet is the perfect option. For me, this style of purse has been a favorite for years. Although I love large purses and still continue to buy them, there are very few occasions when they become used within my day to day activities.
The wristlet is the small item I grab when I leave the house, because, as a new mom, who needs to bring more stuff along than necessary! This way, I can still have everything that I need when I go out. Including a bit of make up for touch ups – As an added bonus, the gold design of the wristlet is perfect for evening wear and bringing up that little black dress a notch.
One of the most popular designs through this season is the gold signature coach design that has become so popular. Through this design, there are many options to choose from but the gold allows you the small piece of glamour within every outfit.
The dimensions of the wristlet are 4 x 6 inches and the price is around $60.00. Although the prices may vary through seasons, it is indeed a great price for a small Coach wristlet in the wardrobe. I have found that within regards to many Coach Products that I have owned, the quality has been comparable to no other – as the products are created with superior materials and craftsmanship throughout the entire creation process.
