The Metallic Shoe

27 Sep

A metallic shoe acts in the same way as a nude shoeit’s neutral – and therefore pretty much works with everything.

If you picture this outfit above with black shoes, they’d probably be too heavy.  The lighter gold shoe, is just right.

If you tend to always choose a black shoe because they’re safe, (And you think they go with everything – which is not right) challenge yourself to try something different.

23 Sep

If you’re worried about wearing cropped pants or jeans because you think it will shorten your legs, one way to extend the leg line visually, is to find a way to highlight your waist.

(I know that belting the waist doesn’t work for everyone, but it doesn’t need to be a belt – there are other ways to draw attention to the waist area)

*Notice also how the shoes are helping to lengthen the legs.

Street Style At New York Fashion Week

17 Sep


It’s New York Fashion Week and if you’ve been following my Facebook page for a while you’ll know I love the Fashion Weeks for watching what the showgoers wear to the shows.  I find that, equally if not more, as inspiring as watching what the designers are parading on the catwalks.

One of the women whose style I admire, Giorgia Tordini, has popped up a lot on sites and Instagram feeds wearing this head to toe navy outfit with black shoes (yes you can wear blue and black together) and lots of gold jewelry.

Wearing head to toe one color can look really chic or really bland depending on how you do it.

There are some tips for how to do it here.

A Summer Style Goal

15 Sep

One of my summer style goals is to get my fingernails into great shape so I can paint them red.

I love the impact a painted nail can have on an outfit, particularly when highlighted against basic pieces like a white shirt, a navy and white striped tee or a black knit.

And while I never paint my finger nails I almost always paint my toes.   My current favourite’s are Revlon Chilli and Chanel Rouge Noir.

Keep in mind painting your nails,  just like wearing  a brightly colored lip, is another way to decorate your clothes.
