Clash your colours!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Designers are focusing on colour and thank god for that. Lilacs and turquoises are in demand and taking over the catwalks.
One thing that the designers are doing is clashing colours too. Some people wouldn’t dare wear a bright pink dress with a pair of orange shoes, but now is your chance, so whilst you can [...]



Be seen in sequins!

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

I am a massive fan of sequins and i think they add that glamourous, girly look to any outfit.
Although a bit of a bugger to wash, they look fantastic and can be used on anything from handbags to shoes to dresses.

Don’t just think that sequins are for evening wear, try finding a baggy t-shirt with [...]



Knitwear

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Over sized, chunky knits are definitely the future, not only do they keep you warm, they look amazing too.
Gone are the days that big knitted jumpers were made for the over 70’s, this look is massive with designers and is a wardrobe must have!

Make sure that you pay attention to the shape of the knitwear [...]

Goth looks good to go!

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The Goth look is certainly one fashion trend i haven’t experimented in yet, and to be honest, i don’t think i want to.

Normally one to get dragged along by the industry, this time I’m staying well away! I don’t want to be head to toe in black, and velvet and lace are certainly not me!
However, [...]

The latest style to hit the shop floors is Military. This fashion has been seen on the rails before, but its back, and bigger than ever!
Brass buttons, chains, cornelli trims and coins are big, big, big and will be seen on anything from jackets to jeans to waistcoats!

Topshop are offering a wide range of [...]



Add a bit of silk for that sexy, stylish look!

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

There is nothing better than accessorizing your outfit, you could be wearing the most plain pair of skinnies and a vest top and by simply adding a long chain, chunky bracelets and some chandelier earrings you will look glam and ultra cool.
One thing that i absolutely love and i think looks great is scarves, im [...]

Do you dare designer?!

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Although i like to mix my designer clothes with my high street buys i always think its harder to find the perfect designer item.
Even if i could afford to have a wardrobe full to bursting of Versace garments, i don’t think i would be able to find many items i actually like.
A lot of the [...]
