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.
I know it is hard to get rid of the addiction to designer bags, if you happen to be a lady who loves gorgeous stuff. Yet, bags from renowned fashion houses naturally come with hefty price tags. If you are among the well-heeled, it will be absolutely OK to be a shopaholic and keep dragging all bags home.
While if you are just a common wage-earner, forget it as soon as possible, before you go bankrupt for purchasing designer bags. However, people say, where there is a will, there is a way. And this also works here. It is the replica bags that have emerged to serve as perfect substitutes. And here I’ll give some tips on how to get the best picks.
Try not to think good people are everywhere. When doing your shopping online for replica designer bags, you should make sure that the retailer you are dealing with is a reputable one, since you can’t see or touch the product you are going to buy.
Unscrupulous retailers are out there to provide shoddy knockoffs, instead of high quality replicas. Yes, it may take some more research work, but that does help you avoid some troubles afterward.
Cheap as replica designer bags are, the high quality pieces can’t be sold at ridiculously low prices. It does take some more money to manufacture a replica designer bag of high quality than that making a shoddy piece costs. So do not get tempted by some extremely low prices, which will not get you the right stuff you want.
The little girl who impressed us for the first time with the film Harry Potter years ago has now grown into a pretty lady. And these years have seen the changes she has presented to us herself. Last year the 20-year-old girl surprised us with her Pixie haircut, which was considered chic, and now Emma Watson Wins Elle Style Awards 2011. The frequent red carpet shows together with her successful career allow the actress to flaunt unique and also uber-flattering ensembles in front of the public and show her own refined style sense along with a kind of sylph-like silhouette, which has helped her a lot to also win the heart of style critics.
That Emma wins ELLE Style Awards 2011 also proves the increasing popularity of such up-and-coming style icons who are brave enough to act themselves, unique and pleasing.
See the super cool pixie haircut? Hermione Granger is no longer the moth-like school girl wearing messy hair. Transforming into a real butterfly in the world of Hollywood, Emma teams up her girly features with the most visionary ideas of the greatest designers.
Emma Watson said a few words about her opinion on this honorable style icon title, “It feels amazing. Fashion is something that I love.” She said she is simply doing what she loves and having fun with it.
How do you like this young girl and all the styles she’s presented to us? If very much, then you can get some inspiration for her and make your own fashion statement with those designer stuff from the big fashion houses? And what? The prices are too high for you to reach? Not necessary to worry about that, since high quality replica designer items can do you a big favor.
How about saying I love you in style?
Valentine’s Day, again, a huge day for people in love (and perhaps a sad day for the lonely).
It’s a day for dating and spending sweet time together with your sweethearts. It should be the very day when most people say “I love you.” The sentence must be the most classic combination of words, yet the human beings seem never to get tired of it. And well, ladies, it’s a day for showing your charm and beauty. Surely you won’t go out looking slovenly (unless you want to screw up the day or plan for a break-up), but if you can do more, you are going to shine and make the guy totally fall for you.
Wanna turn to designer stuff? OK. That’s a wise choice. You must have already pictured some great scenes in your head where you look utterly gorgeous in some dress from Chanel, shoes from Christian Louboutin, some handbag Louis Vuitton, glittering with some pieces of jewelry from Tiffany…Yep, that’s your dream look. And you surely can laugh out in your dream for such a fascinating style. But the sad side of the story will be when it comes to actually buying those luxury stuff, you are likely to hate yourself for not having enough money.
Nevertheless, the ending can be changed if you can see the open window besides the closed door. Why not lower your requirements just a little bit and go for the high quality replica counterparts. Replica designer bags, replica shoes, replica watches, replica jewelry and other accessories…can all be easily found and obtained online. I’m sure a wise lady will get my point and make wise choices, such as gaining her dream looks in a much easier way, and saying I love you in style.
Wish dear you all a sweet Valentine’s Day!

Well, beauty and style is not about how much money you’ve thrown away for purchasing your outfits. Lots of people tend to overestimate their matching skills. Although I am not one of the stylists, I guess they may gain lots of fun just walking on the street, thinking how stupidly people dress themselves. A Bulgarian online store shopping therapy has offered a list of the top 10 mistakes we often make when matching our lovely outfits. It’s not about fashion or brand clothes, but taste and style, and how to wear and pair the items properly:
1. Too much jewelry:
Try to make the number of pieces not more than three. Pick just one or two matching pieces to look classy and make a statement.
2. Used up heels:
Perfection is about details. Others won’t be happy hearing the annoying noise they make, which would also suggest your carelessness.
3. Too much flesh:
Saving too much from the fabric of your clothes can lead to two results – making you sexy, or screw you up. Do not make yourself look cheap or get a “muffin top”.
4. Wrong matching of patterns:
Yes, it is considered trendy, but it can be a tough job. You may end up looking overdressed. It’ll seem to others that you’ve just come back from a carnival. Pair patterned top with one-color bottom apparel, or the other way around.
5. Sneakers or flats all the time:
It’s perfect to free your feet sometimes. But avoid wearing sneakers or flats with all kind of outfits. You’re not likely to become a stunner not in high heels.
6. Dark hair roots:
The blonde hair and dark roots on the heads of celebrities is not a result of negligence but work by stylists. While usually in real life, dark roots only means being careless to the way you look.
7. Orange complexion:
Be careful with the cheap tanning lotions, which may destroy everything. Too much tanning in salons is not a good idea either – fake tanning can be dangerous, or make you look like you’ve tried too damn hard.
8. Flaunting brands and labels:
All those little tricks of revealing the logos can’t get you anywhere better. And head to toes brand names can’t ensure you chic style.
9. Sticking out bra shoulder-straps:
They simply look unpleasant. If there’s no way to hide them under the top or dress, at least make sure they are the same color. Besides, showing parts of your bottom underwear never looks good, no matter how much it costs.
10. Blindly following trends:
Without a slim and beautiful waist, you’d better forget the crop tops, even if they are super trendy at the moment. There’s some to seize and some to let go. And models become models for reasons. So suitable is the best!
