312 Fashion

Every girl loves to add a little sparkle to her life and by that we mean to her wardrobe!  This season has certainly given us a pass to do just that and sparkle we will!

Sequins and stars are both killer trends this season and we are now even seeing them side-by-side!  Whether you opt for a head to toe print style or a subtle addition, both of these trends will certainly allow for a carefree party style.

Metallic sequins are a must this year and appear to be the new grunge-vintage take on the original sequin style.  These sequins are worn with flats and carefree tees for a laid back look that still screams party but in a different way.

Dolce & Gabbana are certainly one fashion house to look to when it comes to this season’s trends of stars and sequins.  They have released the metallic sequin with star combo and such a style comes in the shape of a long sleeved maxi that is perfect for the winter season and looks great teamed with killer chunky heels and opaque tights.

Wear with curls and statement watches as well as a few in your face rings for the ultimate style queen look!

Other pieces to invest in include the likes of a star embellished jumper, a pair of metallic skinnies in super shiny red, a cute pair of embellished sequin shorts, a metallic skirt with zip additions, a statement full length sequin maxi, a tie up star sheer top and of course, a pair of killer lace-up metallic heels!

All of these pieces are must-have wardrobe investments for this season and will look very in fashion throughout the whole of the winter months.

This season there are a few too many things we want to get our hands on! These include the likes of a beautiful black corset dress by Triumph. In fact it is so beautiful, we think we will be wearing this one as outer wear f
rather than underwear!

A nude sheer sequin dress is another must-have!

Such a dress looks great with heels and is a perfect Christmas party piece/.

Sophisticated T-bars are all the rage and appear to be the retro show of the moment to be seen in! Wear them at work with a smart suit or out on the town with a cutesy dress! This is preppy gone sexy for sure!

A purr-fectly printed bag is also a must if you wish to add a little animal instinct to your outfit! It will also keep your essentials safe on a night!

a killer watch in statement gold is another piece of arm candy we all want to get our hands on! Think chunky and manly for that added edge!

A black lace clutch is the perfect addition to an evening dress and is the ultimate must-have party item.

There are various fashions that feature in films and many fashionista’s will try to create a certain look that they have seen in a renowned movie.  Maybe it was something their idol wore or something created by a top designer name.

Fashion is all about expressing ourselves, this can be done through colour, style, attitude, eccentricity, and simply the way we wear our clothes.

The cape is one such item that is often associated with films and such an item shows us how film and fashion really come into play!

Thanks to the recent vampire obsession we all seem to be entertaining, the cape is high on our need-to-invest-in list this season!

The cape is most certainly the coolest cover-up for the winter months and comes in an assortment of styles, colours, and fabrics.

Think solder style and opt for the military look, checked for a more English appeal, fur lined for a winter must-have, and side buttoned for a more elegant feel!

Wouldn’t it be amazing if every now and then a little piece of glamour came our way, in fact if a little piece of glamour popped up right in front of us!

Well the above dream is now a reality and pop-up stores are now a huge thing of the future!

The Jacques Townhouse Soirees is one such glamour station that has been causing a stir!  In fact last year they were the most talked about pop-up stations and events of the summer months!

So needless to say fans were delighted to see the return of such a store, in fact they took to the event by storm in crowds!

Jacques are in fact the name behind that lovely refreshing summer cider drink.  Guests were in fact welcomed into the gorgeous London townhouse that was hired out for the venue.  Inside an evening of girlie pampering awaited them.  This included manis by Wah Nails, hair makeovers in the shape of luscious curls, statement straight and an assortment of other cutesy short styles.

Other pamper treatments available came in the likes of lash extensions and massages and a variety of other goods!

Once the makeovers were complete, the guests were then invited to star in their very own fashion show!  Wearing an assortment of gorgeous attire and shoes to die for.

Foundation is a must for those that wish to create a flawless finish and with the correct coverage and right product, your skin can go from gloomy to glowing in a matter of minutes!

Hot right now is the nude shades and a natural style, which comes in the shape of a perfectly blended complexion.

Think caramel, coffee, taupe and tawny browns if you want to be on trend for the new season make-ups.  These are said to be autumn and winters chicest shades and should make their way into your make-up bags asap!

Three ways to nail that nude trend include applying less rather than more.  In other words only apply the product to the places that need it, such as blemishes and uneven skin tone.

Black lashes can sometimes be too overpowering with a nude look, so why not opt for a more natural shade.  This will create a softer look that is perfect for day time style.

Rather than going overboard and applying concealer to your lips, try a sandy shade lip shade.  This will in fact give a more luminous finish and won’t make your lips seem like they are going to blend into your face.

If you wish to take a few style notes, check out any one of this season autumn and winter catwalks!  All of the models wore a natural palette and appeared ladylike and feminine.  A perfect shade for the winter months, if you wish to warm up the look a little, wear a peachy blush and create the face of the true English rose

Accessories are a great addition to any outfit and can really make or break a style.  A simple outfit can be brought to life with the addition of a statement cuff, super embellished necklace or uber chunky bracelet and studs, however an over the top outfit can be turned into overkill with the addition of an equally embellished piece.

Whether you choose simple silver, warm hued gold or costume jewellery, accessories are a must in every girl’s wardrobe!

Bags, belts and shoes are as equally as pleasing and just as important as jewellery and really work to add the finishing touches to an outfit!

There are an assortment of accessory designers on the cards this season and all should be taken note of!  New York fashion Week showcased 18 must-see accessory stylistas!  In the 18 included jewelers, milliners, footwear, handbag and small leather good designers.  All showcased their pieces in a boutique like space.  We guarantee that any budding fashionista will want one, if not all of the designer items in their new season wardrobes as all will add an instant hit of pisazz to any outfit!

Choose wisely and invest in pieces that can be worn with more than one item and use them to take a daytime outfit to a night time outfit!

In the past, most tall women usually had to settle for jeans and pants since there were not a lot of clothing designers that made clothes for women who had a height of over 5 feet 8 inches; however, as the demand for dresses suited for tall women has increased, more and more designers started to offer stylish choices that are specifically designed for tall women. As a matter of fact, tall women now have a wide range of choices as far as style and fashion are concerned. Read on for some general fashion tips for tall women.

For choices of clothing, wearing clothes that have wide belts is a great choice as it divides the upper body from the lower body, shortening the torso area. You can also experiment by mixing both light and dark colors to create outfits that showcase your figure instead of emphasizing your height. Some of your best options would be straight skirts, slightly fitted blouses and clothes that have long lines. Some things that you need to avoid would be patterns and clothes which are cropped or too tight, as they have a tendency of adding even more length to your body.

If you are tall, it is also recommended to choose the right type of shoes. Flats or shoes which have minimal heels would be the best option, as they can downplay your height; however, you can still wear high heels, provided you have a monochromatic outfit such as an all-black ensemble.

Lastly, regardless of the outfit you are wearing, having the right amount of confidence would greatly help. Some tall women tend to be shy when presenting themselves in public, making them look awkward; however, if you carry a healthy amount of confidence, the people around you would look up to you not only because you are tall but also because they admire the way you carry yourself.
