Simple Style by supermomsa featuring old navy jeans

 

Inspired by my “Look of the Week” this week – simple understated style! There is nothing more sexy than a crisp white shirt and a great fitting pair of jeans, whether they are flared or skinny. It really screams the all-American, “girl next door” look and going into winter you can swop the wedges out for boots or pumps.

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.

[quote style=”1″]I have a bit of a pink obsession, combine this with my shoe fetish and I was in heaven when I happened upon these rather delish photographs of “pink” shoes! For me the colour pink invokes feelings of femininity, mixed with a girlish charm. I personally do not own a pair of pink shoes but feel the need for a bit of “pink” retail therapy coming up![/quote]

My Fashion File – Sexy Summer Shoes

 

 

Shoes are such a personal fashion statement, like diamonds they can also be a girl’s best friend! They can make or break an outfit – take your look from drab to fab in an instant. They add awesomeness to most legs – the higher the heel the better! My favourite look this season is super sensuous,  with peep-toes – on a wedge or a sexy heel. Please don’t forget the glamorous polished toenails to compliment your super stylish heels!

I have picked a few of my favourite, sexy summer styles, from one of my local stores, Queue Shoes, to share with you….
