Marks and Spencer’s Pants!

Stacey — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:00:38 +0000

British high street favourite Marks and Spencer has recently put out a PR story about how it has been reported a 64 per cent rise in sales of Brazilian knickers! Brazilian knickers were inspired by swimwear seen on the beaches of Rio and then they were developed into knickers which give the wearer good coverage at the front and high cut at the back. They are pretty and come in cotton and lace versions and are far more attractive than the traditional cotton knickers or granny knickers as they have become know and they don’t show any visible lines under the majority of clothes.

The very famous wedding dress that was worn by Kate Middleton when she married Prince William in April this year is going to be going on display over the summer at Buckingham Palace. It is estimated that the dress is worth £250,000 and was clearly the star of the royal wedding. The dress was designed by Sarah Burton for fashion house of the Alexander McQueen and it took it inspiration from the wedding gown worn by Grace Kelly. Whilst most brides carefully store their wedding dress in the loft, Kate’s vintage inspired wedding dress is expected to attract over half a million visitors to Buckingham Palace this summer.

What to Wear for the British Summer?

Stacey — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 09:25:20 +0000

Well here in the UK it is meant to be summer and according to last week’s weather you could have easily believed it. The weather was nice and warm, the sun was shining and we hadn’t had rain for ages. However this week it is an entirely different situation with cold weather, wind and rain and it’s meant to be the middle of July! Last week everyone was wearing summer dresses and flip flops, today I am back in tights and a jumper dress as it is so cold and miserable. With the British summer you have to wear your summer clothes when you have the chance so as soon as the sun is shining get the flip flops and the white linen trousers out because the next day it may be pouring with rain!

Wedding Fashion for 2011

Stacey — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 08:44:43 +0000

Following on from the Royal wedding of Catherine Middleton and Prince William in April this year and then Kate Moss and Lily Allan also wed, so there has been a lot of space in the mainstream media about wedding dress and the choice made by celebrities. In my opinion the dress that stands out for me has to be Kate Middleton with her Grace Kelly inspired gown from Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. It flattered her petite shape and managed to be elegant and glamorous all at the same time. The worse dress from the this year’s weddings was Lily Allan, her dress was very unflattering and I felt like the headdress that she wore made her look like she was trying to mimic the princess from Star Wars.

Obviously winter accessories are very important at this time of year to help your look good and feel warm. One thing you mustn’t forget to buy or pull out of the back of the wardrobe is a pair of winter boots or shoes. Your feet can suffer badly during the winter months due to wearing incorrect footwear. There is such a great choice of winter boots available from brands like Emu and Ugg as well as from most major fashion stores. There is also a great choice of winter socks to keep your feet warm in and out of your shoes from brands like Elle Socks and from most clothing stores.

Winter Gloves

With scarves and hats being so popular at this time of year one thing you can easily forget to buy is a pair of good quality gloves. Women have such a great range of gloves to choose from which are available in most stores. Leather gloves have become very popular in recent years as they are very high quality and are also very good for when you get into your car on a cold morning and don’t want to drive without gloves on. They provide grip as well as warmth. Leather gloves have also become very popular for men, however many men see leather gloves as being too feminine.

Winter Scarves

The choice of fashion accessories is so great nowadays, especially during the winter months. One of the most important fashion accessories during the winter months are scarves. There is such a great choice of scarves to buy during the winter season from all the major fashion high street retailers. Scarves have become more popular over the last few years in the summer months as well as the winter months. One of the best gifts you can buy at Christmas is a matching hat, scarf, and glove set as they can really make an outfit look noticeable.

Winter hats

Stacey — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 14:30:29 +0000

There are so many items to choose from during the winter fashion season, one of those being hats. There are woolly hats, winter caps, bobble hats, Russian style winter hats and much much more. The choice for women is far greater than men who tend to stick with the usual woolly or bobble hats. You will rarely see a woman walking around the streets at this time of year without a hat. Obviously hats have to match the outfit of the women which is why many women have such a large collection of hats. It has become an important fashion accessory.
