DENIM FIX


Does your stomach turn with the thoughts of shopping for a pair of jeans??

When you hear someone mention skinny jeans….do you automatically see images of Kate Moss or Victoria Secret models flashing in your mind???

 Think skinny jeans are for the young and slim?? WELL THINK AGAIN!!


Take a deep breath and relax because look what's here...




They tick all boxes when It comes to tackling our “PROBLEM AREAS”

Don’t believe me??... Read here http://www.skinnyjeans.com/html/about.html





From their high content of elastane and nylon in their denim to THE GENIUS of optical illusion they make this dreaded shopping trip a walk in the park!!

For all you girls who are a bit braver or want to add a pop of color into your wardrobe…. Simply take your pick….





I shall be investing in my second pair which will be the mustard skinny….. The perfect color for AW12!



However…. Every good investment does come with a big price tag! Retailing from €175

BUT when you think about it every one of us is guaranteed to wear jeans at least once a week so break it up



€175….once a week for a 6months…..  is a miniscule €6.73!!! INVEST !



These jeans are available now from THE WHITE DOOR.... See http://www.thewhitedoor.ie   or pop into the exchequer St store today where the friendliest staff will be happy to help!!

BOY CRUSH

                                                                                 



The coolest of fashionistas out there will be borrowing from the boys, with over sized blazers, fresh white shirts, pinstripes and trousers providing a fresh riff on tailoring.


Stella McCartney, in my opinion took this look to the extreme! To me its very much a "dress-up"  FULLY in your blokes clothes and feminine curves are literally extinct!


Michael Kors however added a feminine touch to this look by adding a plunging silk shirt or sparkling trousers and heels.


Dolce and Gabbana, broke this look up with pops of  sequins and guilded embroidrey. (customise your own blazers with embellishment on collar and pockets to get this look without adding more items and EXPENSE to your A/W  wishlist!)


We all want to follow "suit" when it comes to the latest designer looks but this look thankfully allows you to invest in the key pieces and add it to your current wardrobe!


Oversized Blazers or coats:


Skinny jeans are here to stay, so team your oversized blazers with these, throw on a loose fit silk vest or rock tee and a pair of heels and your good to go!


White shirts:


Be it over sized or not, depending on your own preference, white shirts are extremely versatile! If its this piece of the trend that inspires you most then simple add the classic black cropped cigarette trouser. These help will embrace feminine curves! To avoid the "waitress" look simply add add silk pattern scarf, chunky neck piece, Ballet pumps or heels and perfecto!!!


The Trousers:


Be it tuxedo, cigarette, skinny or schoolboy, you have a world of options! Stay true to the look and team with you white shirt or add a touch of glamour by team the silk or chiffon blouse/ cami.





So are you brave enough to stay true to this look or will you be adding a bit of femininity and glamour???


Either way mix it all up or stick to one key piece you cant really go wrong.... or can you???


I say mix it up, GET THE RIGHT FIT, have fun and join the "cool girls".
