Las Vegas Style Challenge

Hello followers! 

Last week I received an invitation from Vegas.com to participate in a new challenge called #MyVegasStyle Blog Challenge where bloggers all around the world present their very own sense of style for a day in Las Vegas at The Aria Hotel by creating three looks that either will go from day to night or three different looks (lunch, dinner and night out in Las Vegas). 

I'm so flattered that the Director of Content of Vegas.com picked me out for this new challenge. It means a lot to me. 



So today, instead of giving you tips about how to wear clothes, I have created three looks to wear for a day in Las Vegas at The Aria Hotel. I have never been to Las Vegas but I pulled out these looks by thinking about an independent, confident woman with a sense of style who was powerful but feminine and playful at the same time.

The first look is a day look that you can wear for lunch with your girl friends at the Lemongrass Restaurant. The second one is an evening look: sparkle skirt and silk satin top that will make you look amazing while dinning at Sirio Ristorante. And after spending the whole day enjoying the hotel amenities and the Spa, what about dancing and having a couple of cocktails with your friends at the Haze Nightclub? For this occasion I have chosen a fantastic lamé mini dress paired with black accessories. Check them out! 

This time, instead of choosing affordable clothing I have dreamt a bit and selected expensive options, just for once. So have a look at these three outfits and dream a bit as well. I hope you like them! 

Thanks!

What to wear for a summer festival.

Every year we all are amazed by different celebrities all over the world and the fantastic outfits they wear at the summer festivals. The most famous of them is Coachella, where all the celebs attend wearing effortless, chic outfits and looking glam. I'm sure you have your favourite summer festival in the city where you live. But how can you pull out the perfect outfit without looking ridiculous or like you're wearing fancy dress? Pay attention to these tips that will help you to look effortlessly chic.




Like the event itself, festival fashion is cheerful and funky, so your looks should be good enough to be memorable and stand out in the crowd in the sweltering sun or in the mud without losing that charming spirit of free, relaxed and effortless styling.

Romantic floral prints, bohemian maxi dresses, denim, lace, embroidery details, folk and ethnic touches are all elements of the best music festival style. In these situations, you have to set your creativity and imagination free and don't be afraid of mixing styles and mixing and matching trends.

And pair of things you mustn't forget: a couple of bikinis or swimsuits and your sun lotion!

Check out these outfits I've created for you and tell me if you like them!

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?
