Catwalk Report

Now that we have talked about one particular pair of bloomers, let’s move on over to a pair of knickers that I think is absolutely lovely.  The Asolon’s Ribbon Knickers is actually a set of lingerie that I have fallen deeply in love with and one that I can honestly see Valentine’s Day in.

Ribbons in lingerie are huge right now and what is the first thing that you think about when it comes to Valentine’s Day?  For me – it is all about ribbons.  That is what the Asolon’s Ribbon Knickers are all about.  They are actually made of New Zealand merino wool and they will keep you warm no matter what.

The cool thing is that they will keep you warm and make sure that you look sexy as hell on V-Day as well!

When it comes to Valentine’s Day – it is all about the romance and the beauty of it.  You really need to make sure that you find yourself the right pieces of lingerie to make sure that you wow your man all over again.  Well ladies, I can tell you for sure that the brand new ClareBare’s coquettish ruched bloomers is perfect for wowing your man and making him love you that much more on Valentine’s Day.

These particular bloomers are not only romantic and adorable, but they are also hand-sewn and made from some beautiful vintage lavender linen.  The linen are actually organic too, which means that they are green, which is the best!

If you want vintage and cute – the ClareBare’s coquettish ruched bloomers are definitely the bloomers you should invest in!

This gorgeous Stella McCartney booty here is good for two New Year’s trends.

First of all, oh thank heavens, purple and black. That is right, not only can you get away with wearing this rather mysterious color combination on New Year’s Eve, but you should most definitely should. This can be a great palette — again, as long as you do it right.

The colors are great for nighttime occasions and, like say, they lend a definite air of mystery to your persona. The key is, do not go all purple. Your outfit, shoes, bag, and accessories should not be all the same color — black is included for a reason.

And it just so happens that animal print booties, like the picture seen, are all the rage, absolutely all the rage! However, they only work with short skirts or mini dresses.

There are plenty of fashion trends perfect for ringing in the New Year of 2010. One of the top trends involves metallic dresses.

You could do worse than to epitomize some glitz and glamor on the last night of the year, you know? These dresses are perfectly festive and will add some definite glitter to the evening.

Think about how much will be sparkling on the big night: the lights, the candles, the champagne, the cider. Why shouldn’t you sparkle too?

This look is spectacular — but you have to be careful when trying to pull off this style. If you glam it up with your dress then you need to tone it down with everything else. If you take the metallic look too far, then you might wind up looking more trashy than flashy, and no one wants that!

So, hey, girls, do you have plans for New Year’s? Are you going to a banging party on New Year’s Eve?

Let me tell it like it is: whether you are going to a big bash, or if you are spending the big night with a small group of friends, even if you are planning a special night with the love of your life, you have absolutely got to think about your outfit.

See, it is like this: have you ever heard that saying that whatever you are doing at midnight on New Year’s Eve, that is what you will be doing for the entire next yet. I have to tell you, there is some truth to that.

So say the same is true about what you wear. What you are wearing on New Year’s Eve is like a preview of coming attractions concerning your sense of style in the coming year.

Now, the holiday season, when it comes to fashion, is not all about little black dresses and pretty black skirts. Left alone, even such classic pieces could get a little boring, you know?

You have got to jazz things up a bit. We mentioned bold tops, especially silk ones, and those will take you a long way, but even they are not enough during a season that is so often about dazzle and glamor.

That means that you can really, really go wild with your accessories. In shirts, jeweled tones will look absolutely incredible with your array of black skirts, and you can mix and match with your accessories as well.

We are not just talking about earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets either. Do up your outfit with belts, gloves, scarves, and, of course, the most fabulous shoes you can find!

One great standard piece to incorporate into your holiday wardrobe is the classic little black dress. Here’s the kicker though: for the holiday season, you need more than one. In fact, you should really have at least three. Why the excess? Versatility, of course.

You see, ideally, you should have a short, flirty little LBD for fun partying. You need a longer one as well, one that grazes the ankles, for more formal occasions. Thirdly, you need one that reaches just above or right below the knee, for more in between occasions.

The same goes for black skirts. You should have three in varying sizes, for different holiday occasions. Why? Because they can be paired with a variety of tops, from dressy to casual. The added bonus here is that this versatility will allow you to go from day to evening with a minimum of muss and fuss.

It’s that time of year again: the holiday season. A time of love, giving, thanks, family, and friendship … and a time of parties! Parties for everything: the holidays in general, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year’s — and you know what that means, right?

It means you’re going to have to spend a ton of money making sure you’ve got the right party clothes in your wardrobe, right? Wrong! It doesn’t mean that at all!

As you will see in the next few posts, all you need is to make sure you have a few classic pieces to use as foundations in your wardrobe. Combine that with a strong knowledge of the savviest styles and hottest accessories, and you will look stellar at dozens of parties without ever having to spend too much money.

In this blog, we have come up with a lot of tips and tricks for plus-size women to style themselves.  If you are a full-figured woman and you are looking to make a fashion statement, I have a few things that you should stay away from.  One thing is skintight clothing, as that is something that can make your imperfections in plain sight.

Next, make sure that you steer clear of really loose clothing, as that is not something that you want to expose yourself to.  This will make you look even bigger than you are.  You want to make sure that you get rid of your front-pleated trousers or any pleated skirts, as that is not something that looks good most of the time.

Contrasting bold colors is also a big no-no in the way of fashion.  Also pockets and ruffles – just keep it simple and I can promise you will look awesome!

Now that we have talked about some of the fittings of your clothes, let’s make sure that you understand and keep in mind your proportions.  This is very important when you are dealing with not only looking thinner but feeling better about your choice of clothing.  You never want to choose bulky or fluffy dresses.  When you are wearing them, you will look bigger.

Simple A-line dresses are incredible for full-figured woman and also one color of a mixture of soft tones is a fantastic idea for your color choices.  That way, the colors can actually make you appear smaller. 

We will have some more tips and tricks in the next blog, make sure that you stay tuned!
