Styling with Peep Toe Ankle Boots

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

Lorane63 Ruched Front Peep Toe Ankle Booties GRAYAny style of shoes in peep toes is sexy. Whether it is a pair of stilettos, high heel pumps, wedges, or ankle boots, peep toe shoes are not only sexy but they are comfortable as well because the opening at the end allows the toes to breathe. While some may say that peep toe ankle boots are crimes of fashion, more and more women are actually seen wearing pairs of this gorgeous shoe style. If you are one of those who like shopping for peep toe ankle boots and have absolutely no idea what to wear them with, you’re in luck. Find out what outfits would look great with peep toe ankle boots in this post.

During the winter months, peep toe ankle boots would look great when paired with cotton or short leggings. Top it with a sweater dress or a long tunic and you should be more than eye-catching. When cold weather lurks, this ensemble can be worn on casual occasions where a shirt and jeans are deemed “too casual”.

Dynamite97 Rhinestone Loop Cutout Ankle Booties BLACK An equally casual look that can be worn during the warm months of the year are shorts and an off-the-shoulder top. Sexy, laidback but nonetheless fashionable, a pair of peep toe ankle boots should be enough for you to pull off this look. It’s chic without sacrificing comfort. Whoever said you couldn’t look great wearing just shorts and a simple tee?

For peep toe ankle boots embellished with metals, buckles, or silver accents, it is best to match your jewelry with these. Of course, try your best not to be excessive. Otherwise, your goal to look simple but stylish will fail. The embellishments on the ankle boots should complement your fashion jewelry, not clash.

Peep toe ankle boots can be available in a lace-up version or zip-up design. Either way, you should have no problems styling if you follow these ideas.

Walking True to Blue

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

As I flip through my closet and look through my pants and jeans and see a forest of denim blues. But my fashion senses were tingling for more! With a turn in a wide legged and color blocking direction with women’s clothing, we can now find pants in my favorite shade of any kind of women’s apparel: cobalt blue!

Events are lining up for the onset of fashion week launching in Paris for men’s fashion, so we are set to see the trends filtering through Europe that will soon reach us. So imagine my delight when a color that has always held its place in my heart with women’s clothing, is now becoming more prevalent in the streets for fashionistas to flaunt and photographers and bloggers to document! The options we have when piecing together something with cobalt blue, are endless!

One unlikely combination of colors is wearing a pair of cobalt blue pants with a nude top. Women’s clothing looks best when you catch your viewers off guard so taking such a bold step and color like cobalt blue and mixing it with a soft nude blouse on top tucked in, looks amazingly chic. You can take two roads with the type of shoes you prefer to wear and it could either be a clean white pair of platform heels or a pair of brown platform heels. The reason for the platform and why it’s so necessary in this outfit is due to the pants.

There’s nothing quite like a perfectly fitted pair of pants on your long stems. Elongated pants with the right amount of drama in its swoosh is all we need for women’s apparel. Whether you’re tall or average height, the elgance in the free flowing material of these cobalt blue pants will make you look like royalty. There’s just something irreplacable about the crisp color of cobalt blue that no other shade of blue can replicate. (more…)

White as Snow

Friday, January 13th, 2012

We have a ways to go before we can start shedding our winter gear and amp up for a warm summer. But fear not fashionistas! We can still keep ourselves warm and fabulous in a unique white as snow white coat! Although I have always shied away from white due to its infamous personality in wanting to gather stains, we can always find inspiration from some of fashion’s favorite magazine editors to breathe new life into a simple piece of women’s apparel and have us falling in love with winter all over again.

One of Harper’s Bazaar’s editors around the globe, Christine Centenera of Australia’s Harper’s Bazaar always keeps the photogs busy with her constantly evolving style that honestly, makes me beyond envious. Her cuts and material of the women’s clothing she wears gives us constant inspiration and a quick reminder that you can take any piece of women’s apparel that might have just been an ordinary number in your closet and give it a completely different look with an edgier eye.

When you’re out shopping for a winter coat, we already know the obvious. The peacoat look with the lapels and the creative buttons that suit your fancy. But try the Christine Centenera approach to women’s clothing and keep your eye out for unique textures and not so ordinary cuts to keep such a simple and classic item in your winter wardrobe looking a cut above the rest with its details. When looking through different textures, don’t be shy in reaching out and touching it firsthand to get a good feel for it. One of my favorite texture that’s perfect for the winter weather is the tweed material we see on Chanel suits and Fall gear. Taking a material that is typically used for a type of outfit and usually arranged for a fashion season, and going in the opposite direction- this usually calls for some creativity and a bold personality to wear it and pull it off too!

Slinky Snake Print!

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

There’s no doubt that color and prints have been the hit for the upcoming spring season. As fashion shows debut about six months early, they give us the preview for what to start stocking up on before it becomes a world-wide phenomenon in the world of street style. So I give to you the secret to Spring season’s success: plenty of snakeskin print!

We rarely see such a slithery print on women’s clothing as we’re more accustomed to seeing snakeskin print on fabulous thigh-high boots or on a soft handbag or clutch. But the ever-evolving world of high fashion gives us something new in women’s fashion clothing by challenging us to think beyond the perameters of what we know to do with something as slinky as snakeskin print.

For the modest of hearts, I would think as I myself am one at times when it comes to bold fashion, I would take it easy with perhaps one piece of snakeskin women’s clothing and start off simple. I am thinking a silk snakeskin print blouse in a pale pastel color or in the popular shade of taupe with a pair of wide legged trousers (to give ode to one of Fall/Winter’s hottest pairs of pants), or you can keep your rocker edge with a pair of leather pants or just plain black skinnies. Top it off with a pair of black high heels be it pointy toe, peep toe or strappy, I believe the snakeskin print on women’s fashion clothing gives you all the personality you need to tone down the rest of your outfit.

Splish Splash in Pristine Patterns!

Friday, January 6th, 2012

In all the dreariness of winter weather, the fun way to spruce up your day is to put on a fresh and loud print in women’s fashion clothing. Of all the seasons to bring about something citrusy and colorful, it’s as if the high end designers of the world all chimed in together to bring us something crisp to start a new wave in women’s clothing! The patterns we see these days are a lot of stripes and polka dots, plaid and stars, so it’s time to have some fun with the new prints of today.

The great Stella McCartney put together a throwback to the 90’s fruity print on simple shifts and sweet sundresses that fits and suits just about any age group for women. Whether it’s a warm summer day, or a chilly winter morning, you can always brighten up your mood and your wardrobe by putting together a fun outfit with a bold patterned piece of women’s fashion clothing.

With all the black and solid colored leggings and tops and bottoms of women’s clothing, we can always appreciate some balance and perhaps putting together such a bold ensemble may not be your thing. But you can always use bits and pieces of women’s fashion clothing with the right pair of women’s shoes to create a well-balanced outfit that will work for any occasion or for a simple day out too.

A shift or a dress works for simplicity’s sake and it also may work to your advantage with a cute pair of patterned tights underneath for warmth, but you can also pair a patterned blouse or shift top with a pair of black skinnies or your favorite pair of denims for a more casual modern look. Combine that with a pair of black high heels or a simple pair of women’s shoes, and you have your work cut out for you to hit any part of town and be a smash hit! (more…)
