As Cute As a Bow
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010
As Fashion Week in New York has wrapped up with a big bang with CBS’s Fashion’s Night Out, we see the trends that are coming out in the upcoming Spring season!
Now, I know we’re busy enough trying to keep up with the trends of this upcoming Fall. But there is a way to mesh the two worlds together! One theme I see in the Fall and in Spring, is the sweet detail of a bow on clothes and most importantly, on shoes!
For High Heel Pumps, we all have our standard designs with on frills, no details. Our simple shoes are our safeguard against those frightful moments where we’re like, “What shoes am I going to wear with this??” But I am here to open your fashion minds to looking at the new details of the bow on shoes and embrace it as I have.
Bows have found its way onto almost everything this year. Whether it’s on clothes, on clutches, necklaces and bracelets. But the perfect little topper to a gift, has a different look while atop a pair of gorgeous high heels.
Like the perfect gift, you can take any formal outfit you’re wearing, and pair it with evening shoes that has the bow to match! The bow on anything takes an ordinary piece of fashion, and elevates it to a place between cute and formal.
Wearing Ankle Boots the Right Way (Part I)
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Ankle boots come in a lot of different styles. Some ankle boots are embroidered with lace while some have studded straps. Other ankle boots have fur while there are those with chains. One thing is for sure: every woman knows that ankle boots are a must-have fashion staple. Just like other fashion must-haves, ankle boots have to be worn the right way and paired with the right type of clothing.
Ankle boots can make legs appear shorter and wider, an effect that only tall girls can probably appreciate. Petite and curvy women should typically avoid this. So what’s the solution to this problem? Here are some tricks women can use for ankle boots to accentuate their looks instead of emphasizing the wrong body parts.
For women who are slim but aren’t exactly as tall as Kate Moss, don’t lose hope. Ankle boots can still help you achieve a long line. Ankle boots have heels attached to them and will certainly add a few inches to your height. The trick though is to find ankle boots that cover your ankles instead of exposing them, making legs look choppy and short.
Additionally, women with slim calves and ankles can wear ankle boots to lengthen the legs as opposed to ankle boots with cuff details. Slim and petite women can pair ankle boots with short dresses, cuffed shorts, and bubble skirts – basically any outfit that shows your legs. Opaque tights that match ankle boots are also an option to create the illusion of having long legs.
There are other options for petite and curvy women to wear ankle boots and look tall. First, pick ankle boots with a pointed toe to give the illusion of a long line. Pair it with a semi-voluminous A-line skirt ending just above the knee to emphasize your curves. Keep in mind that petite and curvy women should not wear skirts that fall past the knee because this will give you a shorter appearance. Another option could be to pair ankle boots with dark wash denim jeans that have flaired or wide legs.
More and more women are investing in ankle boots. Paired with the right legwear, ankle boots can beautify women and make them look taller.
Blazing in White!
Friday, August 27th, 2010A staple piece in your wardrobe, despite what season it is, is a well-fitted blazer. This masculine jacket that has now crossed the lines of gender, and landed squarely and securely in the hands of fashionable and professional women, is the piece of women’s fashion apparel that truly holds its own weight and importance in plain view.
In any case, when piecing together your outfit for the day or event, you must always take into consideration how you’re going to pair up with your clothing with your women’s shoes. Whenever I see the white blazer on women, the classiest women’s shoe that I see that pair so perfectly with the white blazer, are a pair of black high heel pumps.
Whenever women wear the color white, it is important not to be too matchy with the bleached color. The starkness of the white blazer is what eyes will naturally be drawn to. To keep the focus on the blazer, and to allow the rest of your outfit to balance out the bold white, you must look for simpler, quieter tones in the color spectrum.
This is what is so delightful about getting dressed up! The palate your closet offers you is the mix and matching game of your own personal style. Your choices with women’s fashion apparel are endless! However, the colors that most fashionistas are drawn to wearing under the white blazer, are shades of black and gray. Mix that with your favorite slacks, denim, or skirt, and you’re ready to go.
If you want to mix it up and pair your white blazer with something other than a solid top, patterns and vintage tees are different and definitely give the white blazer a more funky vibe to it.
Accessories are also key, such as the perfect belt. Most tops underneath a blazer are tucked in, either pristinely or loosely. The belt will most likely be peeking through the open flaps of your blazer, so loop on your favorite belt that will accentuate your curves and your own style.
Zipper High Heels Got You Lookin’ So Fly!
Monday, August 2nd, 2010
Who says zippers are only supposed to be on your favorite pair of jeans? Zippers have now incorporated themselves to be the latest detail on your comfortable pair of zipper high heels!
This zipper trend that is taking over the world of shoes is great as a complex element of zipper high heels. We all have our usual solid colored pumps without anything taking away from its conventional look. But when you’re wearing an outfit that is asking for something more, the zipper high heel pumps are your go-to shoes for all seasons.
Zipper high heels are great because the accent on the shoe is never too much to match up with zipper decorations on your tops and bottoms. In fact, a pair of zipper platform heels can be what solidifies your rocker chic look. If studs and flashy bits on your shoes are not your thing, the zipper detail can be what satisfies your shoe bling.
