Get Gorgeous In A Green Gown
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010Green is definitely in. And we’re not just talking about the fact that the green movement is here to stay. Yes, with all the eco-friendly fabrics, organic products, green building and design, eco-conscious lifestyles and recycled products on the rise, the color green has definitely gone a long way from just being a mere reminder of trees and plants and nature. The green trend has gone beyond clothing, extending its fabulousness to accessories and even makeup!
This summer we’ve seen an army of gorgeous greens in runways – there are deep greens, glitzy greens, army greens, mossy greens and bright and pale greens. We’ve even seen green-themed weddings! With so many pretty green prints around, it’s fun for every woman (and girl) to play around with fantastic shades of green this season!
Working this shade into your wardrobe isn’t that hard. Various shades of green are more carefree and subdued, and we’re thinking of sleek, minimal style gowns for those fabulous evening affairs. If you want to take it up a notch, you can mix green with other colors, but by itself, green is an excellent choice for a gown.
Now since it’s summer, we highly recommend minimal makeup style. With minimal makeup, the skin will able to breathe better, and although going minimal makes everything look simple and effortless, the truth is applying this type of makeup can be more demanding than it would seem at first glance! But don’t worry, all you need to emphasize are your eyes and lips, because the focus of the evening should be YOU, making a statement in your gorgeous green gown.
Now here are our two favorites at the moment for wearing a green gown: the one-shoulder style and the strapless.
One of the sexiest and fresh trends of summer seems to be the one-shoulder dress/gown. You can never go wrong making waves in a one-shoulder number. Any shade of green will do, but add flirty details such as ruffles!
On the other hand, when you choose to go for a strapless green gown, fit is crucial. To make sure you get the perfect fit, raise your arms, bend over, and move or twist your body to make sure you’re firmly sheathed in your dress. Strapless gowns emphasize your shoulders, arms and back, so this is perfect for toned upper bodies.
Look fabulous in your green gown and have a good time!

Let The Goddess In You Shine
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Here’s one of the reasons why we love spring and summer — fresh, stylish and lovely Grecian-inspired dresses and gowns! They have been spotted in A-list events making the wearer look like genuine goddesses clothed in stunning ethereal fabric with minimal accessories and a lovely glow.
We love the fact that Grecian gowns brought an ethereal feel to the runways this season. A summer Grecian dress in pallid, bronze, beige, or daylight gray may portray a goddess-like scenario, but feel free to try it in brighter, bolder colors. Remember, it’s all about color this season, and with Grecian inspired gowns, you need to keep in mind the silhouette and draping. There are plenty of interesting details you can work on, too. You can choose a dress with rope details in the form of a twisted style shoulder strap. A plain or twist upshot belt or an artistic piping can also boost that simple dress into a strikingly beautiful number.
Getting Hot Grecian Hair
Think Helen of Troy and get creative with your hair! You can go for a natural or braided hairpiece either shaping a hair band on your tiara or you can pull your hair back in a trendy curl. Headbands and hair swept back off the face in a bohemian manner truly compliment this look, so be confident in trying out pristine goddess tresses that flatter your face!
Looking like a Goddess
To set off Grecian-inspired make-up, nude make-up is always a winner. Incorporate fragile shades of white on the eyes to generate a luster on the eyes. Peck your cheeks with copper-toned shades to equalize the incandescent effect.
Choosing your Grecian dress
One shoulder tops and dresses scream goddess appeal, and knowing how to wear Grecian dresses is key to pulling them off.
A curvy body may work best with an A-line style as it flaunts the assets. Choose a style that assembles at the waist and dives gracefully around the knees or ankles with an asymmetric slice. A broad-shouldered woman may fit well in a deep V-neck dress rather than a one-shouldered dress, to soften the shoulders
Greek-inspired, floor-sweeping maxi dresses look their absolute best when worn with sexy flats, but for more formal events or occasions, go for strappy stilettos.

Dare to Wear Yellow: The Make-up And Shoes to Wear
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010There’s no other color that represents summer more than yellow, and we love yellow. Yellow evokes fun, femininity and fearlessness. It is a color that immediately grabs your attention. We love its eye-catching power — bright, loud and bold.
Fashionistas and designers alike warn against wearing yellow because it’s prone to mishaps (think yellow and black combined and you’ll look like a bumble bee. Yellow and orange is rather garish, as they tend to clash) but if you’re daring enough to wear a yellow dress or gown, cheers to you! Learning how to wear yellow will not only up your fashion intelligence points, it will also give you the attention you deserve. Why? Because with the right makeup and shoes, you can pull off the yellow and balance the loud and the mellow.
Shoes to wear
For a yellow dress or gown, we’d go for white, silver, nude or brown, but since the first three are somewhat expected, we suggest you go with a sheer or glittery brown for the dramatic effect. A nice shade of brown paired with yellow look classic together.
However, if you want to go bold in your choice of shoe color, try fuchsia. It’s a fabulous, cheery color that pairs surprisingly well with citrus yellow shades. Just remember that if you won’t go bold, light, neutral-colored shoes, such as nude, cream, white or clear are your best choices.
Makeup to wear
Here’s the thing about yellow: It’s a very selective color. But if you happen to be one of the lucky women who can pull it off, then you can look fabulous with ease. Here’s a tip: When wearing a yellow dress, choose makeup in the warm color family such as gold tones and peaches. If you have green or brown eyes, a green shimmery shadow would look great too. Darker eyes will benefit from shimmering gold or lilac. Remember, if you’re wearing pastel yellow, opt for brighter eye colors. For bolder yellow gowns, go soft – beige or pale greens.
We also love the smoky eye effect – it always compliments a yellow dress! There are many options for summer eye makeup perfect for a yellow dress. Have fun experimenting with a combination that will work best on you. For more help, visit your local cosmetic counter for a mini-makeover and get some suggestions from a make-up artist.

Ravishing In Red
Friday, June 4th, 2010Are you ready to wear red? It’s hot, stunning and ravishing – you’ll never go wrong when making a bold statement with this color. Red is a powerful and exciting color, and with the right makeup, accessories and shoes, it promises head-turning possibilities. When we think of red gowns and red dresses, we think of the perfect look that goes with it – nude makeup. Because the dress itself is bright and bold, makeup, as well as the rest of the accessories should be to a minimum.
Here’s why red is fabulous: It’s a color that compliments most skin tones. Aside from gorgeous red gowns and dresses, you can find numerous items in red in all sorts of fabrics from nightgowns to beautiful cashmere sweaters. Perhaps you wish to be the ‘lady in red’ in a gorgeous evening gown for a night out on the town. Wearing red everyday makes the bold statement that you are in charge and you are full of excitement.
Certain holidays are notorious for the color red, of course – Christmas, Valentine’s Day and even birthdays! But we all know you can wear red anytime you want – to dinner parties, the prom and even weddings! Yes, even a bride can dare to wear red. Knowing how to wear a red dress or gowncan that give you the pleasure of knowing you’re ready anytime to paint the town red!
Achieving the nude look
Since there are so many ways to wear red, you have plenty of options depending on your mood. But again, we emphasize the beauty of the nude makeup.
Nude make-up was all over the spring/summer catwalks. Alluring shades of champagne, mushroom and caramel made eyes light up. We think nude is perfect for a red gown or red dress, and here are a few tips on how to wear nude makeup.
If your skin has pale undertones, go for shades of peach, pink and washed out nude shades for the lips. If you have olive undertones, you can stick to cream or pale beiges. The thing about nude makeup has always been that the lips should look natural. For the perfect nude makeup, it would be to test these shades beforehand. Whatever you choose, keep your look clean and simple. After all, it’s your red dress that will make a statement.

Dressing Up For A Summer Wedding
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010So you’re going to a summer wedding. How exciting! We’re thinking pretty florals and yummy colors like pink, yellow and blue for outdoor and daytime weddings, but first of all, what does your invite say? Check out the dress code and determine the vibe of the wedding. This way, you can dress appropriately for the occasion – pretty, summery and perfect!
The Formal Wedding
Black Tie, White Tie — this is the cream of the wedding crop. For this occasion, a long gown is definitely in order. Remember, the goal is to look dazzling. A White Tie is the most formal of the formal wears. Outside of weddings, white tie means that a white dress is required, but not for weddings — unless it has been specified in your invite. You wouldn’t want to steal the show from the bride, would you?
Here’s a guide for the formal wedding: Think about what you might wear to the Oscars if you were nominated, to the opening night at the opera, or to the Presidential Inauguration. Since this will be a summer wedding, think gorgeous, flowing long gown in amazing, breathtaking prints. With beautiful makeup and the right accessories, you’re sure to make a great impression.
The Daytime/Casual Wedding
For a casual summer wedding, you don’t need to wear a long dress, really fancy jewelry or high heels, but you do need to look nice. Think pretty sundresses, day dresses, and wrap dresses. Nothing too flashy.
If the wedding takes place in a conservative setting such as a church, mosque, or synagogue, and you are wearing a sleeveless dress, make sure you have a shawl or sweater to cover your shoulders. To be safe, skip the short skirt, too.
Summer footwear for weddings</a> is fun – from stilettos, strappy sandals or summer wedges, as well as classic pumps, you have absolute freedom to pick the perfect shoe. If you are likely to be wearing the shoes from ceremony through the reception, then you may need to opt for wedges or platform heels, which are more forgiving on the feet. Plus, they give you more support on the dance floor! Carry some emergency flats and pop them on after the wedding ceremony, to give your feet a break.

A Halter Dress For All Occasions
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Halter tops and dresses have one of the most flattering cuts in evening wear today; but did you know that this style goes way back to the days of early India where it was worn by queens and maids of honor? Halter tops have evolved to become elegantly designed dresses and gowns with fabrics made from silk and other expensive, lightweight materials. Halter top dresses and long gowns are now a popular choice for proms, weddings and other occasions and they never go out of style.
Whether it’s the prom, a wedding or a formal dinner party you’re going to, you’ll never go wrong with a halter dress or gown. It’s known for its very flattering cut – if you want to draw attention, this is a good choice. Halter gowns and dresses typically bare the shoulders and may occasionally dip low enough to reveal a hint of cleavage. The halter dress brings focus to a woman’s upper body, so if you’ve got the upper bod to show off, the halter is definitely for you. If you’re a bit thicker on the thighs or hips, a halter dress is ideal for concealing those areas. When choosing a halter dress, learn to accessorize and take note of the following:
Perfect Halter Fit
Yes, this may apply to all dresses, but this is very true of a dress that’s meant to be shown off! A halter dress is generally flattering on most figures, so there’s no excuse not to wear one that flows seamlessly on the bottom and fits comfortably on top. Pick one that hugs your body in all the right places, with straps that fits snugly from your armpits to the shoulder and neck area.
Color and Your Skin Tone
Orange may be your favorite color but it may clash with your skin tone. Stick to colors that flatter your skin tone. Whether it’s black, red, green or a gown with vibrant prints, make sure the color does not wash you out. If you’re heavier, avoid exuberant prints or horizontal stripes. They give the illusion of bulkiness!
Halter Style
We all know over-the-top glitz is usually never a good idea. Stick to a few well-placed adornments in your dress. Some are beautifully embellished with embroidery, gemstones or sequins. Others may feature small cutout sections around the halter neckline. Halter straps may also be very wide or extremely thin. Choose what fits the occasion and make sure you’re wearing your halter dress right.
