Red Dress and Fashionable Accessories for Holiday Season

Every girl needs a red dress to wear, not just for the holiday season (so that we can look smashing) but also for a dinner date on Valentines Day.  As women, we are reluctante to wear the color red because it’s such a bold hue.  But most importantly, we like to purchase and wear items that accentuate our figure.

The dress below compliments my curves (after having two boys) and my skin tone.  I wanted to give a special touch to the look by adding accessories and wearing a pair of gold chain ankle bracelets.

Although I have a beautiful wedding set (compliments of my husband) this ring is perfect for my right hand because it’s elegant while having a woven style and it’s also sterling silver.

I am the type of girl that likes simple elegance, so of course I had to visit the entire website.

Handbag Accessories: Take Your Purse from Drab to Fab {VIDEO}

Handbags are one of my favorite accessories.  I like having my items organized and in one place when it’s time head out.

But aside from having a beautiful designer purse, I also enjoy adding my personal style to bags with a few accessories.  It’s great to own several handbags (whether they’re designer, vintage, or just a good deal) but here’s a question, “are they enhancing your overall look or simply blending in with your trousers?”

The video below talks more about how we can add a special touch to our handbags while looking fabulous.  I hope it encourages everyone to place a charm, scarf, or have their initials stamped on their bag.

Winter Clothing Guide: Guest Post from Danielle Ward {MUST READ}

Winters are perfect for letting the flavors of fashion flow. However, the cold could force you to shut the creativity out to ensure that you stay warm enough. Thankfully, you have this quick guide to awesome winter clothing.

Long jackets with jeans – You could have easily guessed it. No guide on winter clothing can afford to leave out this time tested and future proof style. If you are not particularly impressed with the fact that your envious curves get hidden because of the long jacket, then try leaving the front of the jacket open and using a string belt to let great shapes and curves dazzle everybody.

Short jacket with long boots to stay and look hot in winters – This is a timeless combination. Short jackets will never be out of fashion, and if you could throw in a bit of smart formals, you are in for a killer look this winter. A snug formal trouser that matches your short jacket would definitely make you stand apart from the routine dressers. Not only is such a style easy to carry off, it will also let you wear your style statements to work every day, without attracting raised eyebrows.

Trend it up with trench coats – The trendy uptown girl who always seems to get all the boys’ attention knows how to match things up in the winters. It’s time you learned some tricks and hit the hot charts of all the guys in the neighborhood and college. Not only will your trench coat give you more height, it will also lend elegance to your personality. Grab a cool scarf from a trendy online apparel store and wrap it around your neck with its ends dropping on the bosom of the coat. Then, your shiny shoes will seal the deal and give you the smart and stylish look you always craved for. Not to mention, the trench coat keep the cold away!

Tees and hoodies – If jackets and coats are not for you, then you can take the layering route to winter dressing. Get a plain colored top and layer a deep neck tee over it. Then, grab a hoodie and leave it half unzipped. Not only will you keep the cold away, but also will enjoy light clothing as compared to the heavy jackets that can sometimes weight you down. You’ll have many trendy hoodies up for grab at online fashion destinations like Milanoo.

Accessorize yourself up – Yes, you could put up a remarkable different outlook every day of the week if you know how to play it smart with your accessories. Even if you have just your heavy grey coat to provide you the warmth you need while having fun outdoors with your pals, then also your accessories will save the day for you. Depend on big and bright handbags to give you a new shade every day. Then, there are so many great colors in which you can find some awesome winter boots. With different bags and boots combining to lend you newer colors every day, your winters will be warm and stylish, and that’s what you want!

VMA’s 2013 Fashionable Moments: The Editor’s Likes and Issues…Let’s Talk About It!

The Video Music Awards is one of the most fashionable moments where a music artist can shine.

Celebrities can push the limits while introducing a new trend or bring back a touch of “rock and roll” glamour.

And then there’s the select few that leave us confused and wondering what happened to their look.  Needless to say, no matter how it’s addressed, fashion’s a huge component of the VMA’s and it’s always fun to recap the selections that we saw (on our television screens.)

Photos below are from Elle Magazine.

elle-mtv-movie-awards-miley-cyrus-xln-lgn

Miley Cyrus

My Like: The beading stitched on the top and leggings looks gorgeous.  My Issue: I am not sure what’s going on with her hairstyle (looks very pre – k) and maybe a pair of stilletos would’ve pulled this look together.

elle-mtv-movie-awards-taylor-swift-xln-lgn

Taylor Swift

My Like: Taylor looks very grown up and elegant. My Issue: This entire look would be great for the Oscars. She could’ve pushed the limits a bit more.

Ellie Goulding
 
My Like: She did it just right! The spikes on her dress add a touch of rock and roll also her nude pumps are the exact shade of her dress which elongates her torso. My Issue: I don’t have any issues with this look!

elle-mtv-movie-awards-rita-ora-xln-lgn

Rita Ora

My Like: The tail on this dress is very eye catching with orstrich feathers and a beautiful shade of blue.  The bodice also stands out because it’s completely beaded with a plunging neckline.  My Issue: This hairstyle has been seen on another artist (smile.)

elle-mtv-movie-awards-lady-gaga-xln-lgn

Lady Gaga
 
My Like: This is a very cohesive look. She gave us the exact amount of “goth” with a hint of feminity with an oversized bow and heart shape neckline.  My Issue: I don’t have any issues with this look!

elle-mtv-movie-awards-jennifer-hudson-xln-lgn
