Date Night

Date Night



Inspired by my steamy Date night with my man tomorrow, I played on what he thinks sexy and what I think your man would too... 

This sexy little black dress by Dion Lee , is tight where it needs to be showing off that fab butt of yours. I love how it shows just enough skin for you to get away with. This beautiful oversized blazer by Stella McCartney brings elegance to your outfit and gives it a minor pop of colour. 
 Giuseppe Zanotti designs amazing shoes and this heel is hot, simple yet enough. I love the thick strap detailing. I have added this Stella McCartney satin bra, thats for later. Red is the colour of love and why not surprise him. Lingerie is a must have on a date night. 

I have added a few high end accessories, however any would do. I'm still in love with this Prada purse. It's the perfect shape and size and of course this amazing Cartier piece from the LOVE range and why not love things up a bit by wearing the universal symbol for love. 

And Finally a spritz of my favourite perfume by Salvatore Ferragamo - Signorina. This perfume is sexy and sweet. It will make you irresistible and a fresh coat of this nude coloured colour for a natural manicured look. 

Please share with me your idea of the best date night outfit, I'd love to know.

Styling the Boyfriend Coat

Trending at the moment is the ever glamourous boyfriend coat, this trend is a simple and easy way to dress your outfit up. Who would have thought that keeping warm would be so accessorising. 

Above I have put together two variations of this trend.
#1 is paired with washed out boyfriend jeans by Lee jeans and a leather crop by Dion Lee. Although the jeans keep it casual the leather crop keeps it sexy. Black on black gives the outfit edge while the pale pink pumps by Giussppe Zanotti  and clutch lady-fy this attainable outfit. 
This is a must for the upcoming winter months. I love this black coat by Topshop, quiet affordable at under $100 AUD
I added a mild accessory that of a Marc Jacobs (Amy Dexter Glitz) with pastel coloured diamond detailing - definitely on my winter wish list. 

#2 is pair with a slim fit dress, this sexy navy number is a Zimmerman piece, which is paired with YSL ankle boots which dress this outfit up. I love this pale pink theme running through these two outfits, The pale pink is so lady like and gives the outfit a soft touch. And lastly, the Celine Phantom (OMG!) What outfit is not complete with this amazing creation. 


The above is my interpretation of how i would style my boyfriend coats this winter. The key here is to introduce the trend as a subtle feature of your outfit or have it be the statement piece bringing your outfit to life. 


Let me know how you would style your boyfriend coats, I'd love to see what you come up with! 

Much Love xx

Mastering Tricky Trends from Australian Fashion Week 2014

Now, I love trying out new trends especially those from the cat walk, but doing so becomes daring and often hard to piece together. Styling run way trends into your every day wardrobe may become difficult because couture is not necessarily credible on the streets. However, I have some tips inspired from this years Australian Fashion Week, A bit delayed however I had to source out trends and find photos to match.  
I love the prominent trends this year, It's a mix of daring and versatility, however so sheik and classy which is what I love!
I have also found affordable replicas for the trends exhibited on the catwalk, which is what it's all about. Finding cat walk trends on a shoe string budget is gold. And I have what you need while keeping things ordinary yet turning heads in these couture trends. 


The Midriff
When looking to wear this trend it is important to take note of proportion. I always look for a high neck line or long sleeved look when buying a midriff, not that I have many. But for those who enjoy showing some skin keep it subtle by balancing out the bare skin with more coverage else where. 






Above are a few examples of affordable crop's that I have found that fit my brief and are similar to the trends of the AFW cat walks and quiet cheap. 


Sheer

 Depending on how daring you are to bare it all, AFW had a variety of designers playing around with the trend with a lot to display. From modest pieces to somewhat controversial flesh baring garments. The key to mastering a sheer piece is to the push the focus to your best and most favourite asset whether it be your long legs or that six pack that your proud of. Remember don't over-accesorise and when picking the design structure of the item, keep lengths long, this will keep the outfit classy and avoid that unwanted trashy look. 

I have selected a few of my favourite designs from a few designers. 






Above: Two of my favourite affordable brands showcasing AFW trends!! 

White
White is my all time favourite trend and it seemed to be one of the most prominent trends on the run way this year. White on White is a risky, so it seems, however its become a reoccurring and an enjoyable style inspiration for me. White styled with white has seemed to be a key inspiration for most of the designers this year and I can see why. It's so hot! Remember: to keep the outfit from looking flat a mixture of textures will play up the look and keep it looking stylish and interesting. 

I have chosen a few pieces from designers including Ginger & Smart, Strateas Carlucci, Toni Maticevski & Haryono Setiadi 





I hope this post gave you an idea of the trends from AFW 2014 and has helped all you ordinary girls out there looking to freshen up your every day ordinary wardrobes and incorparate those seemingly impossible couture trends. It is possible! And Don't be afraid to try something new, holding back from possible looks is a big regret. So go for it!
