How to match your dress

Have you ever had a problem with not being able to decide what accessories to match your dress with, what shoes, what jewellery to wear?  I think we all get that when it comes to a special occasion and we have to dress up!  Here are a few tips to give you an idea of how you could match your dress.  So let’s start, if your dress is on the darker side, say like black e.g. Tony Bowls TBE21267, you could wear a black pair of platform sandals, smokey eyes and to add a shine to the look you could carry a gold or silver clutch with you.  Gold and silver works best with black.

Match a gold pair of heeled sandals with a beautiful blue dress, like Terani P619 to add an extra pop to the look or if you’ve chosen a pink dress you could choose a pink pair of platforms.  If you are more daring try out the leopard print dress like the Tony Bowls TBE21274, you could tone it down with a pair of black heels.

Sometimes it al depends on your personality when it comes to dressing up, if you like to keep things down then don’t go for a bright colored dress but if you don’t want to look too dull then add some bright colored accessories, but if you like to stand out then add some color to your dress and balance it out with some darker accessories.

10 dresses you should own

10 dresses you should own

Dress is so easy to wear. Just zip it, and go. It’s also one of those staple and must have items in your wardrobe. I believe every woman should own all kinds of dress! But to be ready for any events and occasions, these are the 10 kinds of dresses you should have in your wardrobe.

1. A Little Black Dress (LBD) – Black is a timeless color you can wear almost anytime and everytime! Since it’s a neutral color, it’s so easy to mix and match with any other colors.

6. A knee-length tailored dress – Think of Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama. They dressed smart and gorgeous on every occasion. This dress can also be your to-go dress for work when you are in a hurry.

7. A safe party dress – Every woman needs one reliable party frock. For a timeless piece, look for details (embellishments, neckline, pattern, colors) and silhouettes.

8. A stunning maxi dress – Dress it down with pretty flats, or dress it up with gorgeous pumps. This dress should be versatile.
The slip dress silhouette works best on tall, lithe figures. Empire-waist and halter maxidresses are super flattering on curvier bodies. And petite ladies who want to look taller might opt for a solid color head-to-toe.

9. A floral dress – Go for big and bright prints, the brighter the better. Wear it at backyard barbecues, garden parties, summer weddings, or evening events. Wanna wear it to work? Simply throw a blazer and a pair of pumps or flats in neutral colors to tone it down.

10. A flirty summer frock – Dress it up or dress it down, wear it with cute sandals for summer, or cardigan and tights for winter. It’s best to choose a classic cut because it’ll be the dress you’ll wear for years to come.

of lace and frills banner

Summer is nearly upon us and women are starting to dig out their pretty summer frocks or trying to keep cool by wearing clothes that don’t suffocate, preferably ones that exudes soft femininity. How else should we satisfy our feminine whims than through lace adorned dresses and pretty frills? Although take caution when you do lest you end up looking like Little Bo Peep; cute as she and her frock may be, but too costume-y for modern times.

Of course there are tons of ways to wear lace and/or frilly dresses given that there are different types of occasions. Just remember that too much of a good thing can be bad for you; you wouldn’t want to be mistaken for a clown or a mascot, do you?

 

Opt for day dresses for a casual day out. The Hale Bob 0SFL6733 baby doll dress and Hale Bob 1EAM6784, with their playful frills, are ideal choices for a walk by the beach while the Tadashi 3K918M and Hale Bob 1EUP6779 lace dresses gives you an easy transition from a lunch out with friends to a romantic date because of their semi-casual style.

 

For events or occasions that require you to dress up a little bit or as it says on the invitation: “semi-formal”, stick to a cocktail dress. For young women, the Tadashi 8M835M lace dress would be a perfect choice because of its sweet and youthful vibe while the frilly Carmen Marc Valvo 12252 dress puts a fun feminine twist to an otherwise simple little black dress. For women who wants a more elegant and refined look, the Tadashi DR260M and Mikael Aghal 18316B dresses will do just the trick.

Remember that it is best not to overdo it with the frills and to keep it simple and classy when wearing lace.

Dresses Every Woman Should Have in Her Closet

Dresses Every Woman Should Have in Her Closet

Sure, it’s great to have the latest dress trends, but it’s even better to have a couple of classic pieces in your closet that you can wear time and again without looking outdated. Investing in classic pieces is the best thing to do because aside from it being practical, it’s also a great way to save money.

One thing you should keep in mind when buying a timeless dress is that it will serve you for many years on different occasions so it is best to choose a dress that has classic cuts and minimal embellishment. Always go for a simple style since you’re going to be wearing the dress multiple times on different occasions and you can always opt to dress it up with accessories.

Without further ado, here are some dresses every woman should have in her closet:

Little Black Dress

La Femme 15907

The ever famous little black dress (LBD) that is the go-to of many women about to go on a first date with the guy they fancy or on a formal/semi-formal occasion they were invited to. You can’t go wrong with a little black dress and that is why this little number holds the #1 spot on dress staples.

Long Black Dress:

Jovani 4220

The long black dress on the other hand is the perfect choice for any black tie event. The color black is classy and sexy at the same time and for those who want a dress that has the capacity to make you look slimmer, then a long black dress is the solution to your problem.

Little White Dress

Faviana 6216

If you think black is too somber a color for you, then go ahead and get a little white dress. It is just as classy as the little black one, not to mention a whole lot brighter! If the LBD can turn you into a mysterious and sexy woman, the little white dress can make you look ultra feminine and sexy.

Summer/Sundress

Hale Bob 1EAM6784 || Hale Bob 1FOD6781

And of course a sundress for a lovely day out in the sun. Sundresses will be in style for as long as there is summer season. Keep in mind that even though mini and maxi dresses are the de rigueur during summer season, certain prints and styles can be flitting trends so choose something sweet and simple like the flowy ruffled Hale Bob 1EAM6784 mini sundress or a simple sheath maxi dress like the Hale Bob 1FOD6781.

7 MUST HAVE items (in your purse)

7 must have items

Although we think we have prepared everything perfectly, usually there are always things that make us panic when we’re enjoying the excitement of a party. Those things are usually not far from the small problems that arise from the dress we wear or other things that can interfere with our appearance or confident. To solve it all, it will help if you bring these 7 important items in your purse to “rescue” yourself :)

1. Instant Stain Remover or Wipes
These two should not be missed. Instant Stain Remover helps to remove the spill of drinks or food on your beautiful dress, while wipes help to remove the sticky feel of the sweet drinks and clean the stains or dirt on your shoes immediately.

2. Safety Pins
This is also one of the most essential of “Things To Bring“. It can help to close broken zipper on your dress, or missing buttons, or even to tie back the broken necklace.

3. Transparent Nail Polish (top coat)
If you wear stockings or tights to the party, this thing must be taken with you. Fine lines that suddenly make their own debut in the stockings or tights that caused by sharp objects scratching will certainly ruin your look. Immediately take a small bottle of transparent nail polish (top coat) into your clutch and apply right where the lines appear. Amazingly, it can also help to glue the buttons back!

4. Rubber Eraser
Never skip a party without dancing… Sometimes when we get too excited at the party, we let loose and dance the night away. Extreme movement will possibly cause the cushion-earring-backs to fall or lose. It’s a big no-no to crawl to find it in the middle of a party, don’t you think? This time, you can rely on rubber eraser to save your day. Cut it small to replace the cushion-earring-backs for a while. Problem solved!

5. Paper Soap
Your zipper suddenly stuck? Do not worry, ladies! Take a piece of paper soap and gently rub it on where the zipper stuck. Within seconds, the zipper can be pulled back completely.

6. Fashion Tape
If you want to wear sexy dresses like a deep-V-neck dress without wanting to let any “accident”  display your assets, make sure the piece fits your body perfectly. If necessary, tape it with the Fashion Tape to prevent wardrobe malfunction. Make sure you bring extra tape in your the clutch, just in case…

7. Band Aids
If your shoe is hurting your feet or if you want to cover a cut, a Band-Aid will always come to your rescue. Always keep one or two.

Prom Look for the Edgy Girls

prom look for the edgy girls

Prom has been – and probably always will be – depicted as an event brimming with girls wearing sweet princess gowns or elegant cutout dresses. But what about the edgy type of girls? Just imagine how frustrating it can be to be left out of something that’s  supposed to be one of the highlights of your high school years.

You might gripe about how edgy girls don’t care about prom, but that doesn’t hold true for all the edgy girls out there. Some of them want to attend prom, just not in a fluffy pink, meringue type of dress. If you’re reading this, you’re probably an edgy girl yourself  so without further ado, here are prom dress suggestions and tips to help you out.

 

Wear all black with silver details like a dangling pair of earrings and multi-strand silver chain necklace. Instead of wearing stilettos, opt for a knee-high lace up boots and rock it with a pair of fingerless gloves encrusted with gems. Hey, you can even DIY the gem-encrusted fingerless gloves!

 

Give it a bit of color even if it is a rich color such as this vampy red dress. Accessorize with lace fingerless gloves, cuff bracelet, stud earrings, and a chunky necklace, or however you want.

 

If you’re really adamant on not wearing a long dress, go for a cocktail dress. Again, try to add even just a bit of color to your ensemble to spice things up.

Prom isn’t just for the girly girl. It just so happens that the event is a perfect excuse to get all dolled up. Remember as well that it is not hard to put together a prom look that rocks your boat. You just have to have an open mind and a bit of imagination, and this applies to every girl; princess-y and edgy rockers alike.
