BlueGreen Dresses
I'm loving the blue greens I'm seeing everywhere right now - especially in the summer dresses. There's a shade that works with every skin color. These are a few of my favorites. They make me feel like I'm at the ocean. What do you think? Now I just need some shoes to go with them! :-)

Choosing The Best Footwear For An Evening Dress
Planning a night on the town?
Choosing the right shoes can make the outfit!
Our guest blogger Amy has some great tips!
Most of you will agree with
me when I say that a woman is very particular about her shoes; spending long
hours when shopping for a pair. In fact, we may sometimes be pickier with our
footwear than our clothes; and it’s for a good reason – the shoes we wear not
only add to our physical appeal, it may also affect how we feel and how we act.
Choosing the right pair to
wear with an evening dress is quite tricky, because there are several things to
think about. To help out, consider the following factors:
Color and length of the dress
It could be said that it is
already common sense to pick shoes that complement the color of the dress
you’re wearing. This doesn’t mean that your footwear should be of the same color
of your dress, though. In fact, there are safe and staple choices – black,
white or silver. These colors are known to match most other colors. You can
also experiment with colors like brown, olive, deep red or navy blue;
generally, your shoes should be darker than your dress – but you can be bold
and bend the rules as long as you can “rock” it.
The length and cut of the
dress also affects the choices, as you would have to consider those for the
design of your shoes or sandals. For example, wearing strappy sandals will be
quite useless if your dress covers your footwear most of the time, or wearing
generic pair of closed black shoes may look boring when paired by a short,
pencil-cut dress.
Nature of the event
This includes the venue and
type of the event. It is probably not wise to wear stilettos when going to an
evening wedding reception at the beach, nor is it advisable to wear flats at an
event that is akin to walking on a red carpet.
The bottom-line here is that the shoes you are wearing should be as
appropriate for the occasion as your dress. Elegant shoes or sandals are called
for formal events, while more casual ones can be worn for more laid-back
dinners or parties.
Comfort
Heels add to the sense of power and self-confidence in
women, but let’s not forget that we must also consider comfort when choosing
our footwear. If you think that you will be walking, standing or dancing a lot,
then don’t wear sky-high heels if you’re not used to them. Not only will your
feet kill you, but you might also run the risk of being embarrassed if you trip
over. Remember that there should be a good balance between looking good and
feeling good.

Mix Practical And Alternative!
Kat's back and she's talking
about some ways to have fun with fashion!
As a lover of alternative fashion I always
look forward to the time of year when skulls, studs and all things gothic make
a comeback in the mainstream fashion stores, and I’m not talking about
Halloween! This summer the British high street is awash with alternative
fashion trends with many taking inspiration from the current festival season to
create a range of clothing fit for any wannabe rock star. As a self-confessed
lover of impractical footwear I am in my element as stores battle to add the
biggest spikes and the most studs to their skyscraper platform heels.
For those with a more sensible head on
their shoulders, squeezing feet into shoes which would not look out of place in
a KISS tribute band may not seem like the ideal way to try out this current
trend. If you do want to unleash your inner rock star without having to stand
in the corner in fear of falling over, here are my top tips for practical
alternative fashion.
You
don’t have to go overboard.
Simply adding a skull scarf to an outfit
can take your overall look from preppy to rock chick. There are some fantastic
accessories out there at the moment that look great when layered together to
create a festival, rock chick lock.
Get
Clashing
Combine floral prints with leather jackets
and studded shoes to create a contrasting look that will not look out of place
in the muddy fields of Glastonbury or the celeb filled tents of Coachella.
Experiment with textures as well as prints to create a laid back festival look.

Style
and Comfort
Why suffer for fashion purposes when you
can find comfortable shoes that are also very much on trend. I love combining a
pair of comfy Naturalizer shoes with a skull print dress and leather jacket to
create a look that not only looks good, but will allow me to dance all night to
my favorite band without worrying about sore feet in the morning!
