Tips voor het kiezen van trouwjurken Ongetwijfeld een van de meest opwindende delen van het plannen van een bruiloft is het uitzoeken van de jurk die u op uw grote dag zult dragen. Maar met zo veel stijlen en ontwerpers om uit te kiezen, waar moet je beginnen? Hier zijn enkele tips om te overwegen, rekening houdend met stijl, vorm van het lichaam, en andere factoren.
Hoe formeel wil je heen?
Het kiezen van Wedding DressesBelieve het of niet, kunt u een aantal verschillende jurk stijlen aan te passen aan een formeel huwelijk, en hetzelfde geldt voor een meer informele setting, soms is het de stof snowboots kinde of een andere soortgelijke detail dat is belangrijker dan de jurk vorm! In de regel, als je iets draagt ​​met een zeer lange trein, veel prachtige kralen, een heel chic vorm zoals een zeemeermin silhouet, of iets gemaakt van een zeer luxe stof als zijde, zal het gevoel zijn meer formeel. Sommige stijlen, zoals een klassieke A-lijn, kan worden gemaakt informeler met stoffen zoals oogje kant. En als je het dragen van een cocktail-lengte jurk, zal het voelen beter geschikt voor een meer ontspannen bruiloft sfeer (zoals een tuin bruiloft) dan een black-tie-instelling kathedraal.
Naar wit of niet wit?
Verblindende sneeuw wit zouden de heersende trend te zijn, maar het is niet per se de meest vleiende. Proberen op verschillende tinten van wit in verschillende soorten verlichting om te zien of u in helder wit, linnen, of zelfs een ivoor of ecru schaduw beter zou uitzien. Als je denkt van kelderen in met een gekleurde jurk, vraag jezelf af: zal ik hou nog steeds van deze beslissing in veertig jaar? Als het antwoord is "misschien niet", zou je beter af met een kleurrijk accessoire, zoals schoenen of een lint sjerp.
Welke accessoires kiest u?
Sommige bruiden willen worden blinged, terwijl anderen liever een eenvoudiger uitstraling. Als je jurk is zeer sierlijke, zult u niet wilt stapel op edelstenen en een uitgebreide sluier, die net zal afleiden van het. Maar als je het dragen van een zeer eenvoudige jurk, kunt u extra's, zoals een vintage tiara, kleurrijke bruiloft schoenen, of een breed lint sjerp voegen. Een toga leverancier als JJs House zal beschikken over een verscheidenheid van stijlen jurk en accessoires om uit te kiezen, dus bookmark uw favorieten en vergelijk ze later op.
Wat is je lichaam het type?
Hoe je je voelt als je in de spiegel kijkt is het belangrijkste ding, maar er zijn een paar body richtlijnen te overwegen. Strapless jurken vlakker bijna alle vrouwen, maar als je breder bent is het belangrijk om te zoeken naar een schat hals om te voorkomen dat het toevoegen van breedte. Big-kapotte vrouwen moeten zeker een stijl die zal zorgen voor een ondersteunende beha, terwijl kleinere bovenlijf vrouwen voorzichtig iets voorgevormde die niet zal passen in de buste moet kiezen.
Wilt u meer dekking tot boven, pure kanten mouwen, off-the-shoulder stijlen of zelfs een fancy schouderophalen zijn goede opties die niet truttig zal kijken. Baljurken, A-lijn stijlen en corseted toga's zijn vleiend op bijna alle lichaamstypes, maar petite vrouwen moeten voorzichtig zijn met al te volumineus baljurken, die overweldigend kunnen worden weergegeven op een klein frame zijn. Als je peervormig, wees voorzichtig van vormeloze scheden.
Wat zal de trouwlocatie zijn?
Of uw bruiloft buiten zal zijn of de binnenkant is belangrijk, maar als je meteen zal gaan van de bruiloft tot een volle receptie, het is ook belangrijk om na te denken over de vraag of je nog steeds in je jurk op het feest. Zal je een tweede, eenvoudiger jurk die u zal toestaan ​​om te eten en te selecteren dans-en zo ja, dan heb je een kleedkamer beschikbaar, zodat u jurken kunnen schakelen voordat de receptie?
Al deze tips kunnen u helpen u door de zee van jurken om een ​​beperking van uw zoekwoorden tot enkele potentiële winnaars. Als je eenmaal hebt afgerekend op een reeks van ontwerpen die je echt wilt, ben je klaar om te proberen op die jurken aan "de ene" vinden, dus je kunt er zo mooi als je je voelt op uw speciale day.   snowboots

How formal do you want to go?


Choosing Wedding DressesBelieve it or not, you can adapt a number of different gown styles to a formal wedding, and the same goes for a more casual setting; sometimes it’s the fabric used or another similar detail that’s more important than the gown shape! As a rule, if you’re wearing anything with a very long train, lots of exquisite beading, a very dressy shape like a mermaid silhouette, or something made of a very luxe fabric like silk, the feeling will be more formal. Some styles, like a classic A-line, can be made more informal with fabrics like eyelet lace. And if you’re wearing a cocktail-length dress, it will feel better suited to a more relaxed wedding atmosphere (like a garden wedding) than a black-tie cathedral setting.
To white or not to white?
Blinding snow white might be the prevailing trend, but it’s not necessarily the most flattering. Try on different shades of white in different types of lighting to see whether you would look better in bright white, linen, or even an ivory or ecru shade. If you’re thinking of plunging in with a colored gown, ask yourself: will I still love this decision in forty years? If the answer is “maybe not”, you might be better off with a colorful accessory, like shoes or a ribbon sash.
What accessories will you choose?
Some brides like to be blinged out, while others prefer a simpler look. If your gown is very ornate, you won’t want to pile on gems and an elaborate veil, which will just distract from it. But if you’re wearing a very simple gown, you can add touches like a vintage tiara, colorful wedding shoes, or a wide ribbon sash. A gown supplier like JJs House will feature a variety of gown styles and accessories to choose from, so bookmark your favorites and then compare them later on.
What’s your body type?
How you feel when you look in the mirror is the most important thing, but there are a few body guidelines to consider. Strapless gowns flatter almost all women, but if you’re broader it’s important to look for a sweetheart neckline to avoid adding width. Big-busted women should be sure to choose a style that will allow for a supportive bra, while smaller-chested women should be careful of anything pre-molded that won’t adjust in the bust.
If you want more coverage up top, sheer lace sleeves, off-the-shoulder styles or even a fancy shrug are good options that won’t look frumpy. Ball gowns, A-line styles, and corseted gowns are flattering on almost all body types, but petite women should be careful of overly voluminous ball gowns, which can appear overwhelming on a small frame. If you’re pear-shaped, be careful of shapeless sheaths.
What will be the wedding venue?
Whether your wedding will be outside or inside is important, but if you’ll be going straight from the wedding to a packed reception, it’s also important to think about whether you’ll still be in your gown at the party. Will you select a second, simpler dress that will allow you to eat and dance—and if so, will you have a changing room available so you can switch dresses before the reception?
All of these tips can help guide you through the sea of dresses to narrow down your search to a few potential winners. Once you’ve settled on a series of designs that you really like, you’re ready to try on those dresses to find “the one”, so you can look as beautiful as you feel on your special day.

Amazing Occasion Dressing Trends in 2013

                      

                                          


I remember when I was about 17 years old and I was going through my ‘be different’ phase, which involved me being ever so slightly non conformist when it came to dressing for an ‘occasion’. I chose to wear ball gowns in the day and jeans and scruffy tops of an evening. Round about this time we had a family christening, and I arrived to the merriments in jeans and a hole ridden t-shirt, much to my mother’s dismay, and she still talks about it today, how ‘occasion dressing is the key to style, and me turning up in jeans and a worn out t-shirt just showed how little idea I in fact had’. At the time I thought I looked effortlessly cool, but looking back…my mum might of had a slight point. I was dressed completely wrong for that particular occasion due to who was there and the venue we were in.

My style has evolved over the years for the better, hopefully. I still have the non conformist within, however I do tame the beast when attending someone’s wedding or a celebration of the birth of their first child! I now take in to account where it is that I am going, and who will be there.

Summer is all about occasion dressing, or dressing right for each event you are attending, and if like me, you don’t like to wear the same thing twice then you really need to have a gander at Moonspark.

Moonspark stocks an array of dresses suitable for all summer happenings BBQ’s, walks in the park, festivals, picnics & party’s.

A personal favorite of mine from the website is this stunningMina Lace Babydoll dress -£79.99. The lace, leaf detailing is utterly stunning and the embroidered trim and baby-doll style gives this dress and incredibly feminine finish. I am attending a casual garden wedding in a few weeks, and thinking this dress may just be perfect for that occasion. I would accessorize this dress with a bright block colour shoe, maybe hot pink, turquoise or bright red? The same with the handbag, however I would clash the colour of the bag to the shoes. I would then add a head piece to this look and finish with a vintage cape. Alternatively you just just put some gladiator sandals to this look and it would become an utterly charming day dress.

Sneakers for all occasions: Converse Chuck Taylor Shoes






Fashion trends come and go on a seasonal basis, and shoe trends switch up fairly often as well. But while platforms might come and go and we might switch from round to pointy toes on our high heels depending on the decade, there’s one style of shoe that has remained popular for decades and will probably never go out of style: Converse Chuck Taylor Shoes.

Converse Chuck Taylor Shoes

The sporty lace-up sneaker, made of canvas and rubber, has older origins than you might think! It was invented in 1917 by Converse and marketed simply as “All-Stars”, with Converse hoping to cash in on the basketball market. In the 1920s, basketball player and company spokesman Chuck Taylor improved the shoes’ design and their popularity took off. Converse subsequently incorporated Taylor’s signature into their logo and today the shoes are popularly known simply as “Chuck Taylors” after their famous original spokes model.

Converse Chuck Taylor shoes have been hugely popular over the years with everyone from celebrities to youth in punk rock garage bands. Famous faces like Nicole Kidman and Gisele Bundchen love their Converse Chuck Taylors for more casual days. Rockers like Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti are known to rock Chuck Taylors 24-7. Perhaps the most famous face to wear Chuck Taylors on the red carpet is ‘Twilight’ actress Kristin Stewart, who has been known to pair couture minidresses with her beloved yet battered Chuck Taylors!

While classic black Converse Chuck Taylors are the obvious choice, today you can buy a pair of the cult sneakers in just about every color under the sun. They come in patterns, lace up to the knee, and have been reinvented dozens of times over to follow current trends. In fact, you can even customize the color and design on your sneakers for a fee: at Converse.com, you can walk through every step of the design process to create a custom pair of Converse sneakers to suit your own personal taste or to create a one-of-a-kind gift for a friend.

So why are Converse Chuck Taylor shoes so popular? Part of it is comfort; it’s hard to beat a pair of sneakers when you’re running errands or you’ll be on your feet all day shopping and hanging out with friends. And part of it is simply the scruffy-cool, “I’m with the band” attitude the shoes project. Last but not least, there’s the versatility to wear them with anything in your closet. Just ask gals like Kristen Stewart: a pair of Chuck Taylors goes with anything!

As autumn rolls around, it can be easy to let all the colour, along with soon-to-be-forgotten shorts and vest tops, drain from your wardrobe. However, the new season doesn’t have to mean discarding vibrancy in favour of dreariness.
The Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2013 proves that autumn doesn’t necessarily equate to browns, greys and blacks. When you think of this season, don’t the transitional shades of green and the rich oranges and reds of the leaves come to mind?
Reflect the stunning colours nature exhibits during autumn in your clothing for a look that’s bang on trend. With a focus on the rich and more vibrant hues, you can ensure your outfits make a statement. Add at least a hint of bright colour into each outfit to avoid getting stuck in a grayscale cycle.
Vivacious pink
The deep fuchsia dubbed Vivacious is sure to get heads turning, and ensure your look is anything but boring in the coming season. It can be hard to wear on large pieces, but can easily be injected into your wardrobe.
Look for this colour splashed across high heels to glam up a little black dress in the evening, pairing with a lipstick in the same hue. In the day, it looks great across a hat, gloves and scarf set – those in cashmere are a particularly good buy. You can look at a variety of high heels at Gogogu
You can find more tips for wearing bold hues in your outfits here, and discover how to introduce colour pops, which accentuate your best features. Don’t be afraid of trying out something new – a fresh look could be just what you need to get out of a style rut.
Dark orange and rich purple
Pantone has picked out a specific shade named Koi, but integrating any dark orange hues into your wardrobe this autumn is a great way to stay on trend. Sheer materials look amazing in this colour, so look out for blouses and skirts in this style for a huge fashion boost.
It also colour blocks well with Acai, a rich purple, to create a retro feel. You can also wear this combination by dressing in one shade and accessorising with the other, so look out for statement pieces of jewellery, shoes and bags.
A spectrum of greens
Greens feature prominently in the autumn fashion colour palette, with major influences from the great outdoors. The top pick for eveningwear is Carafe, a glamorous green-brown mix that will look amazing on a dress worn with gold jewellery.
At the other end of the scale is the yellow-toned Linden Green, a brighter option that will work well in the day. Spy Love Buy has fantastic wellington boots in this shade, which will be perfect for negotiating puddles and mud when you’re outside this autumn.

Women Happy to Dress Skimpily for Promotion

Sexy Office Attire


A third of women are prepared to dress provocatively in the workplace in order to climb the career ladder, says a report in Britain.
More than 27 percent admitted they would happily wear a slightly skimpy outfit to work if it won them a bonus or promotion. One in 20 of them even owned up to wearing revealing outfits to work on a regular basis, said the poll of 3,000 workers conducted by the fashion forum website theragtrader.
The research revealed that 78 percent of women believe the way they dress affects their day at work. And over half – 54 percent – believe dressing up helps them perform better in the office.
A spokesman for theragtrader.com study said: “The research proves that what you wear to work can really affect your success rate. This relates to both accomplishing more during 9-5 and even climbing the career ladder quicker too.
“Even when working from home, it’s incredible how clothing can influence your productivity. If your clothing is too relaxed in style, it’s harder to get into work mode and all too easy to waste the day.”
The survey also revealed two thirds of women feel more in control if they are smartly dressed, while 61 percent think it gains them more respect from their colleagues.
Women were also more competitive in the office fashion stakes with 48 percent of women admitting there was an element of competition when it came to office attire, compared to just 27 percent of men.
