How to Buy High Heels for a Child

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:56:00 +0000

If you are planning to purchase footwear for your child especially when it is a question of high heels then you should concentrate on three basic things.

Proper Fitting

One basic thing which you should take care while purchasing the shoes is not only the looks, you should also concentrate about its fitting. Children’s feet normally grow with their age. So, it is very important to notice their shoe size after some periods. You should first measure their both feet while purchasing the shoe for them. You should check that the heel which should not be very high so that they feel uncomfortable. They should have nice snug fit. It is always better to go for shopping in the evening time because at that time their foot is completely swollen. This is a best idea and it can give you best idea of their correct size of the shoes.

Construction of shoes

You should provide your children with nice footwear which should supportive as well. You should concentrate on strong and sturdy shoes. Strength of the heel should be good and with arch support. From the first time when it is worn you should feel comfortable. You should also choose a material of the shoe which can breathe well. If possible, you should try to avoid high heels for the children.

Quality of the shoes

One of the best things which you should do is you should stick to the quality of the shoes. Try to purchase the shoes from the well known company. You should select the shoes which are very smooth and it should also have shock absorbing sole. It is always preferred to have non-marking outer sole. The shoes which are selected should keep your child’s feet cool and dry.

So, when you are planning to purchase footwear for child then it is very important to have correct decision. One of the biggest problems is Heel pain which can normally occur to any age person. It can be little bit changing between adults and children. Even the treatment of this is also different for the adults and for children. When a question comes to child you should correctly diagnose the source of heel pain with the help of expert. You child should not feel any kind of heel pain because it causes the strain and they may not feel comfortable with their footwear. They can also neglect to wear the same next time. Your child can suffer from heel pain if they are having flat feet. But, it is not at all common in all the children. It can be caused by arch fatigue of the flat feet. This can happen only after standing for a small period of time. It is possible to reduce the same with some kind of stretch exercise and prescription. This can easily help your child to get relief from this condition. So, while selecting high heel shoes you should take certain things in your mind.

Global Footwear Market Athletic and non Athletic Shoes

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 07:53:00 +0000

Global Footwear Market

Footwear is a huge and increasingly diversified business, driven by a host of demographic, lifestyle and fashion trends. As a result, the category is being segmented ever more finely as seen in the diversity of mainstream footwear trends—from casual comfort to sexy stiletto, and the fact that, in recent years, a far greater range of styles has become acceptable in the U.S. workplace. The liberalization of footwear norms coincided with an era of greed and seemingly endless conspicuous consumption where $150 sneakers and $500 pumps were easily consumed with ever-expanding consumer credit.

However, with a new economic reality comes a paradigm shift in the consumer mindset. For some consumers, charge now and pay later has been replaced with pay now or don’t buy at all. Instead of feeling good about expensive or ostentatious brands as they have in the past, many consumers will increasingly feel good about getting the best value, making the smartest choice, or not spending at all in 2009. The surge in frugality has brought back a variety of money-saving behaviors from days of yore, such as layaway and home cooked meals. Even cobblers are all making a comeback.

Though the market for footwear in the U.S. grew at an annual rate of six percent between 2004 and 2008, growth in 2008 was much more subdued at less than two percent. For the footwear industry, an ongoing consumer paradigm shift in attitudes towards more frugality and less conspicuous consumption means high-flying fashion brands may suffer at the expense of less expensive alternatives. But can the major marketers and retailers adapt?

The U.S. Market for Footwear examines these questions and many others by looking at the current market, trends, major brands, and consumer preferences. The report presents concise, thought provoking analysis of various aspects of the eyewear industry and provides a forecast for the market through 2013.

Platform Shoes Buying Guide

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Sun, 30 May 2010 06:04:00 +0000

Platform shoes generally have enormous heels, so be sure that you keep some pointers in mind before buying them. The first thing to consider is your own height. Platforms are bad for you if you are already a bit taller than the average woman. They add to bulk to your feet. If you are slightly on the shorter side, only then go for them.

Another factor to remember while buying these shoes is the dress/dresses you want to match them with. Do a quick survey and decide how many clothes you have that will go with platforms. They do not go with everything, so you need to be careful. Platforms were huge in the 70’s when people wore them with bell bottomed pant or jeans.

Today, flares go better with them as bell bottoms are completely out of fashion. The jeans should be well-fitted but the skinny variety. Teaming them with skirts and short dresses is complete fashion no no. you can try longer dresses that have a touch of summer in them. They will make you look boho-chic. As far as colors are concerned, pick something understated like black or brown. The style of the shoe itself is rather eye catching. Buying a bright color may make you look comical

Platforms are great for clubbing as they afford you more balance while dancing or if you get a wee bit high. In such situations, stilettos may look glamorous but will hurt your feet after a while and you will not be able to go if you plan you spend all night dancing.

There isn’t just one kind of platform available. Check out your options:

1) Wedged heels

2) stacked heels

3) Espadrilles

4) Pumps

Both wedges and stacked heels will be good if you are going to dress up for a special evening. Espadrilles are more fun and retro. They can go with pants and jeans. Pumps are little more formal. You can team these up with formal pants and shirts.

The next thing to consider is your budget. Big brands all over the world offer various kinds of platforms. Since the heels are big, there is much pressure on them. They tend to get worn out early. A good brand will last you longer.

Platforms don’t come in just one height. Try out different heights before you zero in on the one you want. Walk around and see what height suits you best. The best is to pick something between 2 and 4 inches. These are the most comfortable. Also, check for cushioning. Just because its fashionable doesn’t mean it has to be painful. Don’t pick a huge height just because it looks good, you might end up having a bad fall.

Lastly, these shoes are a big trend right now, and convey a sense of fun. But if that is not your style, do not mindlessly opt for them just to fit in. you might ultimately feel very conscious.

Latex Boots Buying Guide

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Sat, 29 May 2010 19:02:00 +0000

Latex boots are all the range right now. But before you invest any money in this trend, it would be good to pay some attention to pointers in purchasing and maintaining these shoes.

Latex is man made material and does not occur in nature as others like leather do. If you are environmental conscious, these are perfect. Making latex does not involve any animal skin or even testing.

Latex comes from natural rubber. And so it follows that they are very comfortable to wear in any season and can be maintained easily. Another advantage of them being man made is that since the material is so flexible, they can be tailored according individual needs.

Within the vast range of latex boots, there are different kinds.

1) Thigh high boots: these are very popular right now. An alternative to leather boots, these are far cheaper and available in different colors. Also, they come in both heels and flats. Heels add more glamour to them. Or you could opt for flats for walking, and still look cool. Anyone aiming for a sexy look should go for these. They can be teamed with pencil jeans, with the boots pulled over. They also work well with short skirts and dresses.

2) Ankle boots: these extend just over the ankles. If you want to make a statement of being no-nonsense, try these.

3) Knee High boots: they go lower than thigh boots but just as stylish. They are good with dresses. They can be worn all year round as opposed to thigh boots that are best for winters or rains. Also, these boots make legs appear longer, making them look thinner.

4) Over knee boots: these are really made for working. These can be slipped over street shoes. You can wear these when it is rainy and later take them off.

Whatever kind you choose, you can be sure that they will treat your skin well, and not cause any kind of allergies. Since the material is natural, it is gentle on the skin.

Latex boots are easily available in many stores. These shoes can be ordered online as well and custom made too. It’s a good idea to compare prices and designs before you make a purchase.

After you have made your purchase, caring for them is important too. You need to keep applying shoe cream regularly on them so that they do not crack. Rubber is prone to scuffing. If you do not want your boots to lose their shape, stuff newspapers in them when you are putting them away for while. This will keep their shape intact.

Stilettos High Heels Shoes Buying Guide

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:31:00 +0000

The biggest symbol of glamour and sexiness are the stilettos. They signify appeal. Its heels vary anything from four inches to eight. These are the most fashionable shoes ever made. They are worn by celebrities everywhere and are made famous by appearances on the red carpet of film functions. We will focus on what the factors are to be remembered while buying them.

Stilettos are considered a must-have by fashionistas. They are distinguished from platforms by their needle thin heels. Several top notch brands offer these shoes in compelling designs and colors. The best among them is Manolo Blahnik. Others are Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin. While these brands are extravagant in their pricing, other lesser known brands are also making stilettos to suit every budget.

Stilettos give the illusion of having longer and slimmer legs and smaller feet. They also help in making you look great deal taller than you actually are. While wearing these shoes, the posture and gait of a person is affected. The wearer tends to walk straighter. The calves keep getting flexed. Apart from this, the behind and bust become prominent. And so you can take it for granted, it adds a little something to the wearer’s personality. Don’t go for them if you are comfortable with that kind of attention.

The classic color is black. If you really want to make a statement, make it red. But this only for the ones who love attention and can handle them. They come with lovely adornments too, like a huge flower on the straps or studded stones. Heels come in different varieties too like plastic, metal, etc. boots also come with stilettos and look very classy

The trick to wearing these impossible heels is keeping track of the time. Don’t wear them for more than twelve hours at a stretch. Keep stretching your calves now and then. And the most important thing to remember is to be sure of the size before splurging. Try a couple of sizes and walk around before making your choice. Heels tend to push you feet forward, so select a size that is larger than the one you would usually buy. But not a size that is so big that it makes the shoes flop in front when you walk. Shoes with straps are a good idea here because they hold onto your feet and also support your ankle since the heel is so narrow.

Stilettos come with pointy toes as well as peep-toes. Pointy toes make your feet look large and stand out right from under your pants. Choose a pair that doesn’t point out too much. Also, these shoes tend to scuff soon, so keep applying shoe cream on them, if the material allows you to. If your feet are in good condition, then you can carry off peep-toes on bare feet. However, if they are not of if you want to look a bit formal, wear them with panty hose of the lightest shade possible.

While stilettos are a big fashion craze, they are also a bit dangerous. Be careful about walking in them, and practice well at home before you venture out.

Essential items for Spring 2010

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:37:00 +0000

The sun has finally peeked its head out of the clouds, meaning it’s time to get working on your spring wardrobe. Though the brighter months aren’t quite here just yet, you can still introduce some brighter, lighter key items. Simply layer up until the weather warms up. Make sure you never get caught in a closet crisis this season. Here are the key items every girl needs for spring 2010:
1. Accessories are a great way to quickly and cheaply update your look, and are great for those on a budget. It’s time to put your winter woolies away and invest in a lightweight bright print scarf. This will freshen up your look and will work with casual jeans, skirts, and dresses.

2. Keep out the chilly weather with a cosy cashmere sweater. Easter egg shades are cute for spring, so invest in pale yellows, pinks, lilacs and minty green hues. You’ll be as pretty as a picture.
3. Floaty tea dresses make you feel fabulously girly, as long as they are flirty, floral and feminine. Team with a cardigan and cute ballet pumps for daytime and a sexy kitten heel for evening.

4. Ballet pumps are sleek, sophisticated and don’t scream trying-too-hard. They can also be worn with almost anything in your wardrobe. Comfy and fashionable, hooray!

5. Though we recognise the shopping trip in the pursuit of the perfect pair of skinny jeans can be a bit of a nightmare, it’s most definitely worthwhile. The perfect pair of skinnies can instantly make your legs look longer and slimmer, your tummy look flatter and your hips slimmer.
6. The stripey Breton top is a fashion must have. This top was pioneered by the queen of fashion herself, Miss Coco Chanel, and was inspired by the French sailors she used to see. It has since become a bit of a cult item and has definitely earned its fashion stripes. Fans of the Breton top span many decades and include the likes of Brigitte Bardot, Edie Sedgwick, Jane Birkin, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith and more recently Kirstin Dunst, Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue and Alexa Chung.

Dreamboats and Petticoats

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:03:00 +0000

As the hit musical ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats’ hits the West End London, critics have gone wild for 50’s and 60’s fashion. It was a time of innocence and fun, which was both reflected in the fashion and the music of the swinging decade.

Its fashion even your granny will adore, and will snare you an armful of admirers, all willing to take you to the local American diner for a shake.

It’s girly, flirty, fun and feminine all at the same time. Begin by choosing a flattering halter neck top with a sweetheart neckline. If you’re feeling sexy you could shimmy your way into a skin tight pencil skirt, and finish with a waist belt to create a full hour glass figure.

For a more casual look, denim pedal pushers and a cropped sleeveless shirt teamed with flirty high heel pumps makes a great look. Accessorise with a chic neck tie and shades.

If you’re off to the hop or twisting the night away you can’t go wrong with a full petticoat and an all in one swishy dress. Polka dots are a great choice of print and bows, cute ankle socks and pearls help to complete your retro look.

Set your rollers to work, as no self respecting 60’s girl would set foot outside her door with flat lifeless hair. Backcomb your locks for extra bounce and finish with a slick of red lipstick.

it’s time to brighten up your winter wardrobe

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:39:00 +0000

The beginning of the new season means it’s time to brighten up your winter wardrobe. Cast the downbeat, dull shades of black, brown and navy-blue you’ve been hiding in during the dark, winter months to the back of your closet and let a more playful palette move in. Inject some colour this spring with a range of yummy candy coloured shades. This spring is all about fun. It’s fresh, innocent and girlie with a grown up twist.

Look good enough to eat by wearing a range of strawberry pinks, lemonade yellows, playful coral and peach hues, minty greens and tangerine tones. Coloured denim is a hot look for spring, but may seem a little daunting to wear, especially if the last time you wore it you were playing in a sandpit! The key is to tone it down with clean, fresh whites and bring in bright funky accessories to complement your new capsule wardrobe.

If you’re colour shy, you can still indulge in a little colour therapy by choosing bright candy cane shades of accessories. Candy coloured watches have made an appearance on the catwalk and are everywhere on the high street, pick a rainbow hue to add a sugary sweet touch to any outfit. A complimentary pair of shoes completes your look, and can instantly refresh and update your favourite pair of denims. Add a pop of colour with a fresh and funky bright ballet flat, or if you prefer a bit of height a bright patent pair of heels. A matching clutch and an on trend, light coloured blazer complete your sugary sweet spring look.

McQueen puts his stamp on the fashion scene

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:35:00 +0000

British fashion designer, Alexander McQueen was found dead in his plush London apartment on 11th February 2010, just 9 days after his mother’s death. Renowned for his crazy sculptural fashion creations, particularly his stunning accessories, McQueen was the rebel of the fashion scene. His wild imagination envisaged fantasy, and brought it alive through his creative designs.

McQueen boasted celebrity clients such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Kate Moss to name just a few, but he was known to shun the limelight and had a certain disregard for the celebrity circuit. Along with his celebrity clients, he had an abundance of fans across the globe, all of whom agree that Alexanda McQueen changed the face of fashion forever.

Mcqueen’s most recent design was worn by Lady Gaga in her video ‘Bad Romance’. A visual spectacle, she wore a stunning shoe boot that was dubbed both the ‘Armadillo’ shoe and the ‘Lobster Claw’ by the press. These chunky, platform shoe boots have since set the world of fashion alight. They have now been produced in a multitude of flamboyant designs.

Since their debut on the feet of Gaga, these chunky heels have paraded up and down catwalks all over the world. They have been sighted in a variety of exquisite and luxurious prints and colours. Spectators were able to feast their eyes on a particularly striking, rich green snakeskin design as well as a pair that resembled a plume of beautiful peacock’s feathers.

Vibrant emerald blue tones have been favoured by fans as the most visually appealing pair and were picked out amongst a sea of metallic hues. The single pair that drew the most publicity was the pair in a delicate nude shade that was smattered in a stunning abundance of kaleidoscopic jewels and 3D appliqué. It was a sad day for fashion and Sexy shoes pays tribute to Alexander McQueen, a modern day fashion genius.

When I grow up I want to be…….a ballet dancer!

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 06:56:00 +0000

Every little girl dreams of being a ballerina, their first pointe shoes and more importantly of walking and dancing elegantly en-pointe. Sadly however, many don’t quite make it to these dizzy new heights and lose interest once they actually try and cram their foot into these shoes. Stuffed with cotton wool and fastened for dear life, the art of moving around en-pointe is a lot harder than it looks and, if not done properly can make you look incredibly clumsy rather than elegant and beautiful.

Many girls give up on their ballerina dreams out of sheer frustration, and hang up their pointe shoes. The inevitable result is regretful hindsight and a longing to be given that chance again.

The bitterness, frustration and disappointment of not being able to walk in them has been long forgotten. Until now, pointe shoes symbolised innocent aspiration. Now, the pointe shoe has grown up and gone all kinky on us.

Sculptural shoes have made their appearance on the catwalk in music videos and have recently been featured in various fashion magazines. They take ‘skyscraper heels’ to a whole new level and literally have you tottering around like a ballerina en-pointe due to their extremely high, eye wateringly thin, stiletto heel. The heel makes you put almost all of your weight onto your toes and so allow you to finally live out your ballerina dreams.

Originally designed for bedroom play, they quickly became a fetish object. In particular, they were usually worn during sessions of bondage and submission. By stepping into these heels you aren’t able to move very fast, and may even fall over and have to crawl on all fours! Or perhaps, the pain brings out the masochist in your partner.

For all you fashionistas out there, ballerina fetish heels are making their way to a high street near you, and are set to be a hot look for summer 2010. So girls, it’s time to whip your pointe shoes out and get practicing. You have been warned.

Interview with Annette Betté Kellow

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:18:00 +0000

We caught up with the fabulous Annette Betté Kellow, a vintage cabaret performer come dancer who has recently become a model a la vintage. We wanted to find out just where her passion for old school glamour emanated from, as well as her love for shoes and the world of burlesque...

So Annette, how did you get into the world of vintage cabaret?

I started studying burlesque after I finished drama school. It seemed like a natural path to take as I have always had a great admiration for vintage dance and a passion for old Hollywood costumes. I particularly admire Moro Landis and MGM movie attire.

Do you choose your own stage outfits?

I have a collection of old costumes that I got from a source in America. They had been featured on all the old movies and musicals from the 40’s to early 60’s and the costumes are truly a work of art! - They’re simply stunning and I feel so lucky to own them.

Who would you say inspires your style, both on and off stage?

Glamour and the golden era! I think people like Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn and Dior are fabulous. And I believe cities like Paris and New York epitomize femininity, elegance and style.

Do you have any secret fashion tips?

For ‘cheap chic' Marks and Spencer’s do a great selection of fitted pencil dresses. This is what I would class as the foundation to much of my style because they always look good and you can wear them during the day and out at night.

Also, it’s very important to accessorise your look; although it’s so easy to forget amongst the busy rush of day-to-day life. To adorn a great pair of earrings and bright lipstick is simple enough, but it can transform your look instantly!

My make up essential has to be…red lipstick! Anyone can wear it; you just have to find the right shade for you.

Last but not least, a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes, so how many do you own?

At one point I did own 50 plus, but now I’ve got it down to about 38 pairs. The majority of my shoes are 50s style heels with a peep toe, but I do have a couple of spangley sky scrapers as they’re great for parties!

Shoe Menders: Make do and mend?!

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:21:00 +0000

Britain is in the grip of the worst recession since the 1930’s and so with the price of household bills soaring and the value of houses plummeting like never before, it’s understandable we no longer have the disposable income we used to. And so, as a result it seems we’re battening down the hatches and looking for more ways to save cash. It seems Britons are taking advice from the old wartime mantra ‘make do and mend’ and are repairing items that were, until recently, stashed away at the back of the wardrobe.

Fashion is notorious for recycling old trends, and so it’s time to bring your old items back to life to be bang in fashion this season. If you’re a little younger, rummage through your mum’s wardrobe or even your gran’s to unearth some real vintage treasure. Or, likewise raid your local charity shop for purse friendly finds.

It seems us savvy Brits are dusting down our old cast offs and are repairing them instead of splashing the cash on another pair of shoes. Previously, if the heel was worn down and there were holes in the soles we wouldn’t think twice about throwing our beloved heels in the dustbin. Now, instead we are taking them to the shoe menders. Shoe menders across the country have reported that business is booming as a result of credit crunch chic. People that have splashed out on luxurious brands such as Jimmy Choo and Prada are now taking their broken soles to get fixed, ending the trend of disposable fashion. Spending £13.00 on a mending service that can prolong the life of your shoes by years is a thrifty alternative to buying a new pair for £500!

So, if you have a pair of old favourites lurking in the depths of your wardrobe why not dust them off and take them to your local cobblers to give them a new lease of life? By the time they have worked their magic, your old shoes will be back to new in almost no time, and at a fraction of the cost of replacing them with a new pair.

Scarlet Fever on the world of burlesque

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:02:00 +0000

We caught up with Channel4’s star faker Scarlet Fever. She appeared on the reality show, ‘Faking it’ in 2006 and has gone on to take the burlesque world by storm. We’re honoured that Scarlet has taken time out of her busy schedule to fill us in on her experiences.

So Scarlet, how did you get into the world of burlesque?

I was lucky enough to get into burlesque when I answered an advert in a magazine in June 2005 to take part in a reality TV show, ‘Faking it’. The producers had 3000 applicants so I didn’t rate my chances too highly. It’s ironic that I hadn’t even heard of burlesque when I applied for the show.

What was it like to work with legendary performers like Wayne Sleep, Miss Immodesty Blaize and Dita Von Teese?

It was an absolutely amazing experience to meet such talented people. Wayne Sleep has always been an idol of mine and meeting him certainly didn’t disappoint. I have met all three again since the show which was also a lovely experience. I learnt so much from them and they helped me so much, both on and off screen. I feel very honoured to have had the opportunity to work with them and the experience was certainly one I will always remember.

Who are your style icons?

I admire Audrey Hepburn and Liza Minelli in Cabaret as it’s my all time favourite film! I love vintage glamour; stockings, corsets and pencil skirts. I definitely believe these show your figure off at its very best and make you look uber sexy!

Do you choose your own stage outfits?

Yes, I do. I also make some things myself, such as fascinators. I also add sparkles and glitter to frilly knickers and shoes. In addition to this I do have two very good corsetieres that supply me with corsets and dresses so I am a very lucky girl indeed.

Do you have any secret fashion tips?

My tips would be to avoid following the crowd, develop your own individual style and don’t be afraid to be different. Also, remember that we all come in different shapes and sizes, so you should always choose clothes wisely. Make sure you emphasise your best assets, and finally, don’t be afraid to accessorise. Any outfit can be vamped up with some carefully chosen accessories.

Miss Kittie Bongo undressed

We caught up with aspiring burlesque performer, model and all round entertainer Miss Kittie Bongo for a chat about her budding burlesque career.

So Miss Kittie Bongo, what was it that sparked your passion for burlesque?

I have always been fascinated by the world of burlesque but it wasn’t until 2006, when I watched reality TV show ‘Faking it’, that I fancied giving it a go.

The star of the show was ‘Scarlet Fever’; the genuine ‘faker’ on the Channel 4 hit show. It was simply a case of, ‘if she can do it, so can I’.

Unfortunately, I didn't get an opportunity to try burlesque until the following year when a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to join him on stage, to Compère, some burlesque nights for him. I was thrilled, and jumped at the chance.It was to be a while before I got another taste of burlesque though, because life quite simply, got in the way for a while.

After a whirlwind year, two house moves, a baby and a wedding later, in 2009 I decided it was time to start performing! Ana Kissed, the cheeky cheesecake burlesque gal gave me a ‘newbie’ space at The Kiss Kiss Show and I haven’t looked back since!

You go girl! I see you’re obviously into fashion, who would you say inspires your style both on and off stage?

I’m customizing crazy! I love making my own clothes, and if I buy something I always make sure I make it my own. I’m prone to adding a few sequins here and there, and the odd feathers and embellishments. Can you imagine turning up to a show or a party and someone else is wearing the same outfit as you?!

Do you choose your own stage outfits?

Ab-so-lutley!! I could never let anyone choose my own costumes; I don’t know how those celebs do it! I even make all my own costumes because I know what I like and what suits me the best.

Do you have any secret fashion tips for our readers?

Customize, customize, customize!

Last but not least, a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes, so how many do you own?

(After a quick peek in the closet) I have about 20 pairs of shoes, my absolute favourite are my leopard print, a girl can never have too much animal print- you said it kitty!! It’s also fair to say that I cannot live without my stiletto ‘stripper shoes’ oo-er!!

Valentines Day Fashion 2010

noreply@blogger.com (a) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 06:06:00 +0000

With Valentine’s Day just under a month away, we think it’s high time you thought about your outfit for the big day. Whatever your shape or size, you can always make the most of what you have.

Firstly, great masterpieces are built on great foundations. Choosing the correct underwear is crucial to your look. Ever seen a woman in a beautiful dress, but with a horrible, grey saggy bra underneath? It’s doubtful and there’s a reason for that. The wrong type of undies can ruin an entire outfit. Just a mere peek of a bra strap can destroy your look. Similarly, a visible panty line (VPL) is also a fashion catastrophe.

Instead, make sure you choose a supportive, uplifting bra with straps that are kept under wraps. It will also ensure that you stay that way, all night long.

With so many options available there’s really no excuse for having your straps on show! Go for a strapless bra or a strapless halter neck bra if you really can’t do without the support.

Or, if your dress has a plunging back try the adhesive stick on bra. Next, choose some (seamless) sexy knickers. Alternatively, if you feel the need, you can slip on a pair of secret slimming knickers, Bridget Jones style. Just stash a saucy pair in your handbag for later.

Why not try some sheer tights, or perhaps a pair of patterned fishnets to glam up your look. They’ll give you that super sophisticated feel.

Always remember to keep the rest of your outfit simple. Valentine’s Day is not about fashion overkill. Step into a pair of killer heels,which will give you a cute wiggle as you walk. The little black dress is a perfect choice, especially if your man is planning a romantic surprise. The LBD works for almost any occasion and can be taken just about everywhere. You could work some 40’s Audrey Hepburn magic into your outfit by slipping on some elbow length gloves and accessorising with classic pearl jewellery. An elegant black clutch bag is the finishing touch to your valentines outfit.
