Flared Jeans Outfits For Spring 2009

I already pointed out the main Jean Trends for 2009 , but we seem to have a new addition :)

I know you all loved the flared jeans when they were cool back in the ’90s, I know I did…Or was I lame?!

Anyway…times have changed and even though nowadays we are mostly breathing  the skinny jeans trend, we cannot help noticing how flattering the flared jeans look. Stars are digging the look too and more and more pictures pop out overnight with flared jeans on Victoria Beckham,Heidi Klum or other celeb trendsetters.

However, the flared jeans have a big problem when compared to skinny jeans : They don’t look good with flats, no matter what ! Heels are a must when styling a pair of flared jeans and you should also consider wearing them dark and with skinny tops in order to keep the proportions of your figure.

I. Casual Chic Flared Jeans Outfit

Tunics are a hitlist item this season and they’re perfect with flared and skinny jeans. Try to get a sheer one or a silk tunic for the ultimate look.  The belt gives an hourglass shape to your figure and don’t forget the heels. Style the outfit with a cool biker jacket, vintage jewelry and a neon bag and you can wear it when around town or when you’re out with your friends. So chic!

II. Wear To Office Flared Jeans Outfit

The sheer tops will be really hot this spring beacuse it is versatile and can be worn after office too and still look fresh and sexy. Try a darker pair of jeans to keep the outfit more formal and neutral while at the office. You can choose booties or platform shoes to pair with the flare jeans but be careful of the lenght of the jeans. Flared jeans can be hard to fit with the shoes so it is recommended to adjust their lenght while wearing the heeled shoes.

Jumpsuit Outfits For Party and Office

Hello, my lovely outfit seekers!

Spring is knocking with fresh ideas and sexy outfits. One thing particularly caught my attention because of the retro glam feel it has. You’ve guessed! It’s the sexy jumpsuit.  You can either wear it draped or strapless or even belted. It comes as a wonderful choice to a night around town or even as a daytime outfit mixed with more casual accessories.  Don’t be afraid to experiment and try wearing a jumpsuit, you’ll just love it!

What to wear to work this fall

As we spend most of our days at work ( maybe most of our lifes ) we should try to feel good and comfortable with what we are wearing, but, at the same time combine chic with serious. Forget the neon shades from this summer and try to get in the mood for some more mature and serious outfits. The way we dress at work depends on what kind of job we have, if we are behind a desk or dealing with customers, or maybe we have a more creative job. Try to be yourself, blend in 70% and for the remaining 30 % show your personality. Forget about the moment when you have to worry about what you can wear.

tipYou should organize your closet on certain outfits and so it will be much easier to find everything you need.

They say Women rule the world…

office glamour

I know I sometimes sound like a feminist but I think that it is true that women have the power. They can choose to be whatever they want to be, childish or silly, funny or smart, sexy and dramatic. In this story clothes also have a leading role because they manage to complete an attitude, they inspire and highlight our emotions.

This season it’s all about mixing and matching your style with some hot trends. Use a navy patent leather peep-toes (4  - Manolos from Barneys) with a leather bag ( 2 - Mulberry Bayswater from Net-a-porter). Materials are chic and can be combined with electric metallics (1 -Anna Sui  from Net-a-porter, 5 - Cascade Black Watch from Guess  6 - Blue Pearl Ring available at TopShop  10 - Loose Pigment Eye Shimmer from Urban Decay). You can also use hair accessories for the ultimate look (8  Hair Accessories from Shop-A-Matic ) or if you think it’s too much you can go for some nail polish (7 - OPI) and an intense Eyeliner (9 -Guerlain Terracotta from Sephora). Grey coats are very appropriate for a windy day just be careful to choose one that goes well with the dress (3 - Karen Walker  - La Garçonne).

Enjoy!

Stand out like a man!

 Tuxedo Girl

Real women need to be fearless and powerful so, what better way to become like this, if not by wearing some man clothes. The story of the suit and white shirt has been written by many designers but, this spring this classic formal-wear has become a real statement for fashionistas. Waistcoats and tailored rolled sleeve shirts hit the runway, the red-carpet…. and even our mini - famous lives.

 There are many different styles that you should check out, but I think that the long blazer and the tuxedo-like vests create one of the hottest looks.

Supermodel Kate Moss has created a tailoring clothing line with Top-Shop and you can also find some interesting vests. You can wear the elongated tux jacket with a dress or some skinny jeans and a big belt. I will post more info about this trend, but until then I will give you with a little homework.

What do you think about this James Bond-ish look? Is the dinner jacket made to be worn both for casual and evening-wear ?

Escada Spring/Summer 2008

Escada Spring Summer

In case you were wondering how to wear bright colors in a office chic outfit, Escada makes it easier. Colorful accents create a pretty fabulous look and you can experiment with different patterns and accessories.

Tailoring is back in action. Go for the perfect masculine style or for the tight glamorous one for a maximum effect.

What do you think?

Black and White on The Red Carpet

Ashley Simpson

Ashley Simpson hits the Red Carpet in a trendy Black and White outfit. She looks glam but still manages to keep it cool with very well chosen accessories. The skinny belt (available at Macy’s) is the best choice this season and so are white pumps(you can find them on CutesyShoes).

The Sequined Scarf and the long black beads are very popular and I’m sure you have them at home as for the big tote, you can buy it from CoutureCandy.

The Pencil Skirt is also very popular and goes really well this the white tee. I really like the combination, it’s fun and classy. (Skirt + Tee available on F21).

Bye, kisses!

Daytime or Showtime

Daytime or Showtime

Hey my dears,

Today it must be a long day for you so I’m gonna show how to get dressed 2 in 1. Start by wearing this amazing african-print shirt-dress. (you can find this one on Browns). It is very stylish and in trends this season, has a great flow and because of the buttons it even makes you taller :)

For Daytime Elegance you must have a big spacious handbag just perfect for everyday stuff (BE & D ‘Perry’ Mini Handbag on Browns) and a pair of wedge sandals just perfect for long hours at work (Steve Madden Champyun Wedges from CutesyShoes). Wear light natural make-up, it is more sexy and fresh in the middle of the day. (Stila Shadow Pots on Sephora) and get accessorized with a couple of bangles (Andrew Hamilton Crawford from BBS).

For Showtime Nights you can match a pair of sexy peep-toes.

Remember ! Shoes are the It accessory this season!

These are from Alexander Mc Queen and available on NAP. The handbag has to be shiny and glamorous because lights bring out the most in accessories (this is a Tory Burch Croc Reva Clutch available to borrow on BBS). Wear a bracelet or some big jewelry ( Juicy Couture Multi Layer Chain Bracelet from BBS) and make an impression with the fragrance you are wearing. I found a very ethnic one from Missoni on Sephora. It embodies exactly what this trend is about:  the world. Give it a try….Have a great night!
