LWD: Little White Dress

Hello dear followers!

As all of you have noticed, the temperature is rising. Now that we are in Spring and days are longer and warmer, one of the colours we should all have in our wardrobe is white. The must have colour of the season, timeless and chic! 



I have told you many times before that everyone should own an LBD (little black dress) but, of course, wearing a black dress in the summer season is not a very good idea, especially because of the heat. So the alternative is the little white dress (LWD). It’s worn by lots of celebrities and is super versatile since it's a blank canvas where you can be creative and accessorize as you wish. The trendiest option is wearing it with neon accessories! You can even dress it up or down and wear the same LWD during the day time and at night events, parties or dinners.  




Have a look at the outfits I've pulled out for you and tell me which one would you wear!

Style my belly! 8 looks you will love if you are pregnant!

Hello dear followers! 

Expecting a baby doesn't mean you're overweight, unattractive or sick. It's a natural and beautiful state. So let's be very clear, you are the same woman, just with different curves.  




The thing is that there aren't too many blogs that show you how to dress your new body or give you ideas about where to get the right clothes. Please, stop buying overside t-shirts or dresses because they look awful and you look like a sack of potatoes.

One of my colleagues is pregnant and she is going mad looking for some new clothes. Everything  she finds is ugly and not her style. That's why I decided to write today about this topic and I have created eight looks for women expecting a baby. These looks are for a young woman who still want to look sexy and beautiful. There are casual looks and even some for the upcoming wedding season. The clothes are from Isabella Oliver, Dorothy Perkins and H&M. 

What do you think about it?

Dresses to wear to a wedding.

Spring is already here and the wedding season has started. If you've been invited to one or maybe two of these marvelous events, you might be searching for the right dress. Long, short, asymmetric, sleeveless, cut-out, jumpsuit, etc. Finding the right one can be a real challenge but I'm here to help you out and to give you some amazing affordable ideas. One important thing: don't forget what's better for your body type. 



Some girls ask me if there's a protocol to follow. My answer is always the same: "ask the bride and the groom". One of the latest trends is wearing a tuxedo but only for evening weddings (check out our Facebook page). The only restrictions could be wearing hats at night as they're reserved for day time weddings, and wearing white because that colour is exclusively for the bride. Apart from that just bear in mind that church wedding and a beach wedding are worlds apart. But, whatever you decide yo wear, you should never outshine the bride


Check out these looks I've created for you.

Rule # 30: How to wear head-to-toe denim.

Hello dear followers! 
First of all my apologies for not posting anything in the last week but I've been on holidays in the fantastic state of Florida! Looking for sun and the warm weather! It was amazing! So now I'm back, with my batteries fully charged so, let's keep it up. Today I bring you some ideas of how to wear head-to-toe denim. 


Balmain 

Street Style 

As you all know denim is always in fashion. It doesn't matter if it's winter or summer. It's one of the most versatile materials and you can dress it up or down depending on your mood. Lately all the big names in the fashion industry have been using denim as the main material of their creations and we have seen it in all runways, from Balmain to Chanel. 

But how to be bold and confident and be able to pull out a head-to-toe denim look? It's easy. 

  • Two-tonedOne of the most important things to know about wearing denim head-to-toe is that your shades of blue don't have to match. In fact, I think it keeps the look more interesting when lighter denim is paired with a darker wash. Throw on a pair of lighter boyfriend jeans, a basic tee, and a dark denim jacket for a two-toned look that will actually appear fashionably put together.
  • Spice it up: Try to wear ripped jeans with more cleaner cut denim (more preppy) pieces such as one of the looks I've created for you, the ripped denim skirt with the tucked in denim shirt. 
  • Take it to another level: Denim is not exclusively for clothing but can also be used for accessories. Don't be afraid and get yourself a 'in' denim bag. You'll be the trendiest girl! 
Check out all the looks I created for you. What do you think?

Spring 2014, 10 key pieces.

Say goodbye to the cold and rainy days and hello to rays of sunshine warming your skin! Heat things up with these 10 key pieces for Spring that you must have in your wardrobe. I'm so tired of the winter and, if you are too, we’re just about to brighten things up! 

  • 90s STYLE SLIP DRESS: every time I think about this kind of dress, Carrie Bradshaw comes to mind. Think about your body shape when deciding to buy one of these. You should be sexy but you don’t want to look cheap. 

Jason Wu & Max Mara

Zara

  • THE BIKER JACKET: essential in every women's wardrobe during the winter season, it has made a huge come back in recent years and it continuous to be a must have. The twist for this season is lighter materials and softer colours. 

Versace - Cavalli - Antonio Berardi

Oasis - River Island - Zara

  • XL TROUSERS: XL trousers don't mean trousers 2 sizes bigger, ok? Think: palazzo trousers. 

Mulberry - Paul Smith - Michael Kors

Mango

  • SQUARES: if stripes were one of the biggest trends last summer, this year it is squares. You must have a piece with this pattern in your wardrobe. 

Balmai - Ralph Lauren - Derek Lam

Topshop & Dorothy Perkins

  • EMBELLISHMENTS: I've already talked to you about it. Jewelled pieces are here to stay. 

Dolce & Gabbana - Prada - Burberry

Patrizia Pepe & John Lewis

  • SHIFT BLOUSE: perfect with jeans or slim trousers. The boxy shape sleeves that finishes on or just below the elbow will give you sophistication. 

Calvin Klein - Dolce & Gabbana - Preen

Topshop

  • JUST SAY IT: it's one of the biggest trends this season and you must have one. Messages written on tees are a way of being a bit of a rebel. 

Alexander Wang - Paul & Joe - Moschino

Etsy & Topshop

  • PASTEL PIECES: think soft, think flowers growing in an English garden. Ideal pieces that will look perfect against your tanned skin.

Mulberry - Preen - Burberry

Topshop - Dorothy Perkins - River Island

  • FULLEST SKIRTS: they could be midi, over the knee or even shorter in the skater version. You must have one.

Oscar de la Renta - Delpozo - Dior 

Asos & Dorothy Perkins

  • MULES: back in the 90s, a lot of women used to wear them, now they're back, polished and updated. 

Clockwise: Zara - Pret-a-Beaute - Stella McCartney - Nastygal - Zara - Topshop
