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…)

Wide and Wild!

Friday, December 16th, 2011

With the onset of winter rolling in to both coasts, we need to consider our options for fashionable women’s clothing that will be both functional and style friendly. But while pants are always on the agenda for these colder seasons, you can’t just settle with any kind of pants. Let’s keep our radars on for filtering what’s hot in the NOW and as fashion shows and the world’s most renown designers have shown us, it’s all about the wide legged trousers. Yes, these dramatic sweeping trousers give women’s fashion clothing a run for its money as its fashion flaire may just keep these beauties around for more than just a season.

For nights out on the town and events in the evening, we can always resort to an alternative source of fashion next to our little black dresses. Looking lady-like and elegant can work with trousers when you wear the silky wide legged trousers that sashay perfectly as you hit a wide stride when making your presence known at your event. With women’s clothing becoming more minimalistic, it’s nice to see a new direction the wide legged trousers are taking.

The top to pair with these wide trousers with is simple and easy! Any blouse with a thin fabric to give it wind when walking, with a simple and feminine pattern would look amazing tucked into the trousers. Women’s fashion clothing gives us more options than that so you can take it to a grunge rocker-glam level when wearing a leather biker cropped jacket. The cropped cut of the women’s leather jacket gives your waist the cinched look to make your body maintain its shape.

The dangers of wearing pants like this is the fear of the shape of the wide legged trousers swallowing up your figure. So make sure when you wear blouses, you should definitely tuck it in to maintain shape. When wanting to wear a jacket, for a hard look, try a cropped leather jacket or a cropped blazer with a tailored cut and a defined collar. Or to keep things sweet and cozy, you can tuck in a soft sweater and pair it with a matching cropped cardigan too for a more Mad Men-look.

For shoes, what’s best to wear with these sweeping trousers, make sure you wear a pair of fabulous platform high heels. You want to make sure these pants do not drag on the ground or slouch too much when it meets your shoes. Wearing platform high heels will definitely allow you to have that extra height to elongate your look even further! You can decorate your outfit with the choice of colors and patterns with your high heels so have fun with your mixing and matching to perfect your terrific trouser look!
