Spring Shoe-zies

Fashionistas!

I love how this Spring is not about just 1 colour but an array of bright or pastel colours. This is not a long blog post so take a look below at the shoes you can add to your collection. Your feet are gonna love ya!

RAINBOW
Having a shoe with  these many colous only means you can pair any colour with ease.


SHORT STACKED HEELS
I know  you want to wear heels but sometimes...the 6 inch high heels can kill your feet. So the short stacked gives you a little height yet still cute.


NATURAL
Natural colours or natural cork heels are in for Spring again. I'm sure you have a pair somewhere. If not, rest assured, naturall shoes go with any outfit and colour.



I'm not enticing you to get more shoes but there's a lot of sale for things you may not have (wink wink). As always have fun with your choices this Spring and be creative! THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

Spring Bags 2017

Spring 2017 is loaded with a lot of trendy styles that have resurfaced with an updated look to really boost your endorphins. This Spring, focus has been made on accessories and this week I'll illustrate 3 types of bags that have been around but have an added touch or colour to them that makes them pop.  Express, Aldo, Marshalls, Burlington and other department stores will carry a variety of the below selections:

TOP-HANDLES
Very structured bags that offer quite a sophisticated look to any outfit. Usually for work it's the basic dark colours but this Spring try top-handles in bright colours and prints.





DRAW-STRINGS
This is also known as the pouchette which in french means little pocket. A little history on the pouchette, these were made by French women during World War 1 and the original design was silk with strings. It has evolved into a full handbag but like it's original design, does not contain compartments. If it does, it is an added design. Fancy designs make the drawstring very appealing this Spring.




HOBO BAGS
I believe we've all had this type of bag once in our lifetime. But this time it is the material and the colour and gives the hobo a different feel for Spring.


If you already have these, good for you. If not then snag these at your local mall or online. As always have fun and be creative. THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

Spring Styles 2017- Pt. 2

My dear Fashionistas,

SPRING 2017 officially starts tomorrow Monday 20th March, 2017 and while the weather in some places may not co-operate to show signs of spring, in our corner here, let's continue to review on what's out for Spring 2017.

Remember styles resurface often as is or with a twist. These 2 styles are making a great comeback: the thigh slit and yellow.

THIGH HIGH SLITS!
Well slits have been out for a while but it's how it is worn that makes a difference. For this, 1 or 2 slits will show off the legs that did not miss a leg day.




YELLOW!
This is explanatory itself. The yellow is the sunshine of your life for Spring 2017 and will be seen in any form from clothing to accessories so bulk up on that sunflower goodness or take it as dark as mustard. Any variation of yellow is welcomed!



Spring 2017 is looking really bright this year and I want you to take advantage of dropping dead leaves and starting fresh. We have that power to create and I want you to be the best you, you can be. As always, have fun and be creative. THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

Spring Styles 2017- Part 1

Welcome to March Fashionistas!

We've entered into the 3rd month of the year and Spring officially begins in 2 weeks (March 20th to be exact). I've been prepping you with a few styles but March really brings out the real kickers for Spring 2017.

I really love these 2 styles that have circled their way back into the fashion scene. The deep v neckline has been out in 2016 with a sharp v ending mid  boob rib bone but these v necks are deeper and lower.
STYLE TIP- I know some of you gals like to be all free spirited and ditch the bra for the deep v- necks but nipples aren't as appealing. Leave something to the imagination. Try a deep v convertible bra or petals on the nipples and fashion tape to keep that neckline from moving. You can find fashion tape at amazon.com, ulta.com, Jo-Ann's Fabric, Michaels Arts and Craft, Walmart or your version of an art, makeup or beauty store in your country.

Next up we have the asymmetrical shoulder or the cold shoulder or the one shoulder in frills or sharp cuts. This cut in dresses, rompers or tops go well with any article of clothing and preferably heels or wedges.
STYLE TIP- use a strapless bra with this style to give a seamless look.

DEEP V NECKLINE:

ONE SHOULDER CUT:

As the sun comes out and the wintry weather dissipates in some countries, these are fun styles to have in the sun. Those of you already in sunny weather...jump in! As always, have FUN and BE CREATIVE! THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!
