This year its’ a wrap!

This year has been a great one for style and there are arrays of cutesy pieces that we want to get our hands on, especially now that the sales have begun.

Wrapping paper was a big hit this Christmas, so why not stock up on your favourites styles at a fraction of the price.  Many of the papers seen this year were enthused with prints that were created using a screen print technique.

Frinton Press paper was a big hit and also quite a pricey one, with just eight sheets coming in at £20.  Why not be uber organised and buy a few rolls in the sales.  It will come in handy for any up and coming birthdays too!

The website fotofitup was also a big hit this year as it allows users to transfer their own photos onto their wrapping paper.  Whether you choose to put a one off comedy picture of yourself on your wrapped parcels or a few of all of your friends, This is certainly a quirky extra that makes open up presents just that little bit more special.

Prices start at just £1.99, which means you won’t be breaking your bank either!

Made in Bristol have currently formed three pop up shops, which house an array of quirky illustrations, prints, cards, crafts, sculptures and jewels.  Such styles really allow you to get personal with your presents and are great to note down for next year or even any up and coming birthdays!

Other cutesy products to buy into if you didn’t receive them this Christmas include the likes of a mobile cosy.  Such a gadget is a great way to take care of your more expensive handsets and come in the shape of knitted owl, bear and panda styles.  They are so cute we don’t think you will be able to resist all three!

Halloween style

Halloween style

With Halloween almost here, many of us are thinking about what to wear and where to wear it!

There are so many different outfits available but if you wish to truly stand out then you will need something original!

Make-up is a great way to make an outfit pop and Halloween is an excuse to really push the boundaries!

Forget natural and go over the top with statement eyes and dramatic cheeks!  Lipshades should be blood red or even black depending on the outfit and eyes should be super defined and smokey!

If you want to look cute on Hallow’s eve, a great option is headwear.  Hair accessories are very much in at the moment and look über stylish in your locks.  Cat ears, horns or witches hats attached to hair bands.  Wear with a cute outfit such as a leotard and puff skirt, striped socks and back comb!

New things to try this season

New things to try this season

Now that the autumn and winter trends are fast coming into play, it is now the time to start experimenting with a few new styles.

This could be in the shape of a hot new lip colour such as a plum or red hue, a killer new pair of on-trend fur rimmed boots, wedges instead of skinny stiletto heels, a new pair of coloured denim jeans or anything else that tickles your fashion fancy on the fashion radar.

Jeans have taken centre stage in the past season, with hot orange, pink, washed out blue, red and an assortment of other shades.  Opt to tone down the shades for the winter season and choose a richer colour rather than a neon.

Team with a pair of this seasons must-have on-trend big boots!  Such boots go with just about everything and are both on the runway and now in the high street boutiques!

Such boots are most definitely designed to be seen and should never be hidden, always wear them over skinnies or with cutesy short skirts!

Just make sure you invest in a pair with one definite embellishment.  They should also offer either a wedge or cuban style heel, which makes them the perfect attire for the winter season.  This added extra comes in the shape of fur and can be lining the insides, the edges or come in the shape of tassle extras.

She’s got the look

She’s got the look

Models, singers, songwriters, the cast of reality TV shows…they all have the look, they also have a huge team of stylists behind them!  So how do we go about reaching such a style status without the hired help?

The answer is quite simple really.  Make sure you follow all the latest shows, any up and coming designers, tune into all the fashion media and always create a style that you not only suit but one that you also feel comfortable in.

Wearing a piece that may have cost a bomb and also features on all of the on-trend runways to date doesn’t instantly create a great outfit.  If you team it with the wrong accessories or it quite simply doesn’t suit your figure then chances are, you will look as uncomfortable as you feel.

Even wearing a simple piece that isn’t at the height of fashion can be brought up a notch!  Simply team with super embellished accessories or block colours and most importantly wear it with confidence!

Having confidence will in fact make you look and feel like a million dollars in whatever you are wearing!  Standing up tall with your back straight and your head held high will also make you look like a style icon and one that knows what’s on trend for now!  This is the case even if you are donning a past season outfit!  Work that confidence girlies!

Further style news for the new season

Further style news for the new season

Further easy elegance can be found in the form of exceptional yet simple monochromatic dresses this summer.  Take a look at a few of this season’s catwalk stars in order to re-create a staple ensemble.  Whether you opt to choose the caramel leather at Akris, the heavy white yet adorably sophisticated cotton at Derek Lam, or the denim at Stella McCartney, there is one major rule this season and that is to stick to simple shapes that offer a very subdued and neutral palette.  This season is all about swapping the festival fashion for a little minimal style and refreshing our wardrobes in a simple yet striking way for the new season!

However if you prone to colour and can’t quite step away from it completely then add a splash of colour in the shape of reds and oranges, as such shades will work to complement your neutrals.

Balenciaga showcased some adorable must-have pieces this season, one of the fashion favorites seemed to come in the form of the oh so simple Carmine leather shorts.  Such a piece is a great investment as it works both in the summer, yet will still carry you forward to autumn/winter 2011-12!

If you are going tochoose to keep the colour in your style then keep the cut simple and clean.  Choose a vivid orange dress such as the ones seen at Victoria Beckham, Cacharel and Calvin Klein.  Keep the accessories expensive looking and subtle for best results.
