I’ve been waiting for warm and sunny days to wear my sandals. And the warmer season seems not far away, and then it will surely bring a wider range of sandals for ladies to step in beautifully. Among all those kinds of styles, I find myself still so much into the platforms, which seem always coming back with new looks, and I bet I have also read the mind of many other ladies. Platform sandals have proved their great performance in both versatility and practicality. Isn’t it just awesome to find some heels that are comfortable and meanwhile high and elegant? The spring/summer season of 2011 has also seen lots of great platform sandals.
Platform sandals are also loved by those giant fashion brands, as can be seen from those shoes their models stepped in on the runway — fringes, flowers, lace, or different embellishments. The heels have been superbly tall, in all kinds of shades, from the classic ones to various shapes and prints. Get yourself some great picks and they are to make you stunning at the seaside or wherever else.
Aside from being practical and versatile, these sandals can do you a big favor if you are one of those who desire for a taller and slimmer look. They do represent the great choice for trendy and elegant summer styles. They are sure to go perfectly with different items from skirts or jumpsuits to denims and sophisticated shirts. Just choose the perfect pairs which flatter your silhouette and match your own personality. But please be careful that some of them have got a crazy height, like the ones from Charles Anastase and Barbara Bui!
Fringes, floral prints, and other flirty decorations were also seen on platform sandals, such as those playful pairs by Wunderkind, D&G, Blugirl, and Christian Dior with bows or sweet flowers.
Shoes in tasty and fruity colors are certainly great additions to your summer wardrobe. You just need to pay attention to the height and go for the pairs allowing you to move freely, within so many options, like those by Custo Costume National, Barcelona, Blugirl, Betsey Johnson, Sonia Rykiel, or D&G.
Platform sandals not only perform greatly for daytime, but they can also help you gain more elegance at night. Pairing your platforms with jeans and a sweet top for a night out will be a brilliant idea. For this you may get some idea from houses like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior, Stella McCartney, Donna Karan or Ports 1961. For something more refined, the nude and powdered pink pairs are perfect decisions. White, beige and black ones will also be a great idea, since they are extremely versatile. While, if you are into something rather special and eye-catching, the houses have prepared for you some one-of-a-kind pieces.
Little black dress? Yeah right… You still hope to get something new on this subject? This might be what was on your mind when you saw the title of this blog. Well, it might be just another boring post to people who have got enough of the dress. Yet, still I believe there are far more other ladies who will never lose their interests in it, since this legendary dress is likely to do far more than you thought.
When we talk about the little black dress (LBD), we are actually referring to endless possibilities. I bet it is hell difficult to find another kind of dress that can beat the little black dress to be the most versatile and safest and timeless dress in history of clothing. For exciting nights out on town, romantic dates, delightful parties, grand banquets, upper-class balls or even for sad funerals, the little black dress can perform well to the most proper degrees.
And besides its absolute versatility, the endlessness of its possibilities can also be presented by the different styles, or I may prefer the word “flavors”, you want to achieve with the little black dress. One best point about this is that the dress itself is not memorable and thus you can wear it again and again by simply pairing it with different accessories. Sometimes even you yourself can’t remember whether you’ve worn that one before. In addition, although the dress is not that memorable, the perfect image every time you make wearing it will be rather impressive to others.
For people who desire for more about how to bring out the marvelous effects from the LBD, here I want to show you some of my best picks to fabulously pair your LBD.
A Belt
A belt, not necessarily in black, can accent your slim figure, and add some more elegance. Ladies without a suitable belt can also go for a simple and sleek long scarf and do a pretty bow knot with it, as LV did.
A Pair of Gloves
If you do it right, it will look like that the dress and the gloves were meant to be together. It will be safer if you choose the ones in dark colors. The combination can make you a lady of quality, even as elegant as Audrey Hepburn.
A Pair of Over-the-Knee Boots
You can truly get my point when actually seeing how gorgeous you can be in a LBD and a beautiful pair of over-the-knee boots. If you need something eye-catching, try boots in vibrant colors.
A purse
To carry your essentials, you will also need a purse to be your companion to the evening banquets or parties. Yet, I mean the small one here. A huge tote can screw your whole style up. And in order to make the all black dress not too dull, a purse in a eye-catching shades will be better.
Aside from these above that I’ve mentioned, lots of other accessories can be used to pair a LBD, a pearl necklace, big earrings and bracelet, and even a bow knot, which will all add much elegance and beauty to your attire.
