This is 'Peep Toes'

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.

Sexy shredded jeans Outfits

To get a super chic and sexy look by wearing these shredded jeans you can start by wearing some amazing heels and a cool cruise collection top.

The shoes -  These golden peep toes will turn all the eyes on you. Love the semi-bow, though I think they duplicated the same shoe in the picture. :))

The top - This is not a boring outfit! The giraffe style cami is so sexy and light and it kind of makes you dream of summer and tanned skin.

The jeans - TheStraight Leg Distressed Jean from BEBE go perfectly with the golden peep toes. Wear them as a girls night out outfit or when you go out with your boyfriend. They’ll do the trick in both cases.

The accessories- Hope you like golden vibes because this summer it’s all about  shining. Keep it cool with a trendy Glitter Beret from Coach and some feather earrings. If this is a daytime outfit, choose a medium-sized tote. I love this Faux Leather Convertible Bag because it has this unusual jeans color, it’s perfect!

I left my favourite outfit last because I really wanted to admire it some more. It has everything : the heels, the glam, the plaid… it’s a rock chic outfit you can have fun with. Accessories are the most important so I’ll start there.

The accessories - Have to share one main color, don’t know why but this ballances the whole outfit. Usually you shouldn’t mind the shirt when choosing some shoes, but I really like these black fringe booties.You can bend the jeans so that some skin shows just above your ankle, this is really sexy.  The guitar pendant is Marc Jacobs and is actually a small guitar watch. However, you should try to find cheaper, vintage items that do the same trick. Lots of celebrities wear vintage and even cheap clothes.

The vest - I don’t know why vests remind me of The Jonas brothers :)) I know it sounds stupid but I can’t figure out why. Anyway this vest comes from Forever21 and it’s only $17,8 !! Really cheap and chic.

The shirt - You can find this shirt on any Gossip Girl epissode :) I was just kidding, but they still have an obsesion with plaids ! Anyway this Buffalo Plaid Shirt is a good season investment as anyone is now wearing it.

Vanessa Hudgens style-inspired outfits

I love Vanessa Hudgens!! Well not her role in HSM, (she looks too innocent) but her style and her looks :) I like her because she has a really unique way of wearing clothes, a rather younger  version of Rachel Bilson.

If you want to get het look you have to pay a really good attention to details. Accessories make the difference and the hairstyle gives you another 30%. For extra points you should consider a sexy LBD, high heels and a great tan. :)

For more relaxed ocasions, miss HSM  chooses comfortable outfits that define her age but also the trends. This fall she mixed the blazer and the boyfriend cardigan with skinny cuffed jeans and statement necklaces.

When the weather gets cold Vanessa Hudgens warms it with a pair of opaque leggings and a nice coat . The floral dress is really nice and it goes perfecly with the suede flats. If it’s colder where you live you can always skip the ballet flats and replace them with a cool pair of flat boots.

Outfits for New Year’s Eve

2009 is knocking on our door and there’s no time to waste. I picked out some of the most trendy outfits to wear for New Year’s or to other winter cocktail parties .
The Pink Dress and The Black Corset Dress are some very good clothing investments as they can be worn after New Year’s for other events.  Satin dresses are a big hit at any party because they have a glamorous look and they go well with any accessories. You can choose a strapless shorter dress or a more structured outfit with a corset dress. They’re really unexpensive and available on Forever21.
The shoes are a key accessory to pull off any outfit. You can wear peep-toes or some really special sandals. Because it’s winter I would choose opaque leg-wear with black sandal boots from Topshop or some sophisticated or some Contrast Pattern Shoes.
The Embellished Bag and the Sequin Bag are a big trend this season and they are perfect for any party. They should match the style of the dress or they must be complented by other gems or sequins from your outfit.
Jewelry can be minimized to only one major piece. Try a cuff bracelet from Forever21 or a mosaic shiny bangle from Oli.

Mischa Barton’s White Feathered Dress

Stars are pumping up the glamour this season and so should you! The white cocktail dress is becoming a really popular trend as it really make you shine. :)  I tried to recreate Mischa Barton’s white feather dress outfit and I’ve  come across this website that has amazing gowns.  The Grace & Hart white cocktail dress is a perfect evening choice and it’s available on Madaboochoo .  You can wear it with peep-toes and a sparkly clutch.

The accessories are very important when wearing a sheer dress because they complete the look. Go for vintage jewellery  like these amazing earings from Accessorize or gems embelished pieces like bracelets or a watch.  I love the Mikey Bracelet and I think we should all have some vintage jewellery to mix with our cocktail outfits. Remeber though, not to over-accessorize :)

Top Cocktail Party Dresses

The seasons are knocking on our doors and we should always be prepared with something to wear. You never know when you get an invite to THE party and you have nothing to wear. I’ve created a list with TOP dress choices for this season. You can look glam and be on top of trends.

black cocktail party dress

The best choice is always the black dress. Even if you think it’s did and done, you can always reinvent it. Accessorize with some amazing shoes and be an elegant diva. You can choose something that suits your shape and you can even go back in time and rediscover shining trends from the 50s or 70s.

black and white cocktail party dress

If you don’t want to look too serious wearing just black, you can pump up the style with a black and white combination. Use an intense shade of red to look glamorous or to blend with the season’s colors. You should look out for the type of dress you choose, make sure not to over-try wearing it. Forget the stripes and go for something simple and chic.

metallic cocktail party dress

One of the smartest way to look good at a party is to shine!! :). Metallics are really hot this winter and you should make the most of them. Go for  bronze, champagne, gold and silver to cheer the holidays. Still, be careful not to look like a Christmas decoration. Focus on the accessories and you’re good to go.

black lace cocktail dress

A lace dress works perfectly for holiday parties because it never goes out of style. It can get you through a family party or even an office cocktail. Use clasic makeup that highlights your natural beauty like mascara or a liquid eyeliner. Don’t forget to wear heels and a special purse. You shouldn’t wear too much jewelry because it would make the outfit look very detailed.

sequin floral red cocktail dress

However if you want to be remembered like the hottest person at the party you should brake some rules and check out some hot trends. Choose a sequin dress or be a red dress diva! Choose mettalic sandals to complete your look. Neons are still on for this season, so what are you waiting for? My favourite though, remains the floral pattern dress with a gorgeous pair of peep-toes.

What would you wear?
