Fashion Trends – Red "The Colour of Love"

230035493436504836_tzy35qdr

 

Red is definitely a colour that is trending this season and one of my favourite, favourites – to me it symbolises love and passion! Red hearts, red roses – the colour of LOVE! Wearing red makes me feel super sexy!

There are so many shades of red when it comes to fashion; I have never been able to wear anything with an orange base – my skin tone suites a “Blue-based” red. I think it is so important to be aware of what shades suit your colouring especially when it comes to a colour like red. If you get it wrong it can be a fashion disaster!

The other important factor to consider is just how much red is right for the occasion or outfit, as it is a very striking colour and too much of it can be over powering!

So consider the less is more approach, for the during the day perhaps just a hint of red, in an accessory or red lips or nails can make a dramatic statement and enhance your outfit. You can always spice up your ensemble by adding a pair of “killer’ red heels – super sexy!

For the evening, however, I feel that it is a completely different story, again dependant on the occasion but there is nothing more striking than a long flowing scarlet gown!

The “red carpet trend” is to pretty much wear red from head to toe, red lips, red dress, red shoes – I guess when you are famous and gorgeous, you set the trend! I love these gorgeous gals in their fabulous, red couture!

So step out there, be bold, be daring and embrace this passionate colour – you only live once, so why be boring! Especially if you celebrate Valentines day, really get in the mood and wear something red!

Elie Saab – Spring 2012 Couture

 

img-thing

Recently while doing research for another Fashion post I came across these gorgeous, beaded dresses, by one of my favourite designers, Elie Saab. This beautiful range of couture gowns is reminiscent of the sherbet sweets of yester-year.  Stunning pastel shades, sleek flowing lines, complimented beautifully by dreamy sheer fabrics, creating an overall look of romantic elegance.

"Simplicity" – The Ultimate Form of Sophistication

265853184222983212_unaeb49a

Love this look : Cameron Diaz, in Dior - pure elegance!

 

I am sure all the glamorous fashionista’s out there are getting their outfits ready for the J & B Met tomorrow! Very often the thought is to go over the top and be flashy but this can translate as trashy. There is a great deal to be said for simple sophistication!

My Favourite Essie®Shades for Summer

Favourite Essie shades

I love Essie® Nail Polish; in fact it is the only nail polish I use. There are so many reasons why – one being the amazing colours that they bring out each season and the fact that their polish actually lasts! It does not chip and if you apply their “to dry for” top coat it will last for weeks – as a busy mom that’s important!

I love nothing better than showing off my perfectly manicured toes – especially in summer in a pair of pretty sandals!

I have selected my four favourite Essie shades for summer to share with you: Coat Azure, Boat House, Fondola Gondola and Jam n’ Jelly – did I mention the really fun, quirky names of their polishes! Whilst brights and neon colours are very popular this season, pastels also make their appearance. Blue polish is definitely a colour that is trending this season, which can be fun when worn in contrast with bright pink clothing or accessories.

Vintage Lifestyle magazine is a free online magazine, inspired by all things vintage.

Nicole is also the owner of the blog Diamonds & Dust, through her blog she shares her personal experiences and her love of fashion. I am a lover of all things fashion and wait expectantly for the next, fashion inspired instalment from Nicole and especially loved this post she did featuring prints by Manolo Blahnik.

 

Nicole enjoys taking pictures, listening to music, reading inspirational blogs, wine tasting and styling fashion shoots.

 

 4 things I dream of…

 

  • For Vintage Lifestyle Magazine to be recognized as the biggest vintage magazine in the world.

 

  • To travel around the world and take street style pictures/write articles.
