The Perfect Shoes for Autum

Changing seasons are time to change shoes... 

today's guest post from Claire Hunter 

looks at some Autumn shoes!

When a new season is upon us, there is only one thing to think about, a new wardrobe. Every girl looks forward to each new season, it allows us to go shopping for new clothes to prepare for the change in weather. Lets face it you would not go out in your summer bikini during winter now would you? So of course when the temperature alters, it is time to start looking for new pieces to add to our wardrobes.

The coming season at the moment is of course autumn. Autumn is a wonderful time for fashion. You can wear just enough layers without being too hot or too cold. Jackets, jumpers, boots, jeans, scarves and leggings are all great additions that can be purchased in preparation for the autumn season.

Online footwear stores have collections of footwear that are perfect for the autumn season. You will find the stores offering collections of boots and women's shoes that would not look out of place on any outfit during the coming season. Here’s a little look at my faves from the ranges.

The Ash wedge trainers collection offers a range of designs that will add style to any look. Wear with a pair of skinny jeans and a colorful jumper, layer over a biker jacket and you are on to a winning autumn outfit.

The array of brogues available at the moment would look stunning worn with some straight cut trousers and a loose fitting shirt. Perfect for creating a masculine look that is right on trend at the moment.

You will also come across a selection of ballerina pumps in the current collections of women's shoes. The quilted styles are ideal for days when only a smart casual look will do. Add to a colorful skater style skirt, cover up with tights and you are ready to go.

So if you have started shopping for the season changeover, why not take a look at the latest collections of designer footwear online. With a great choice of styles on offer and some fantastic looks to choose from, you are sure to find a new pair that is perfect for autumn wearing.

Workwear Mistakes - What Not to Wear

  One challenge many of us face is how to stay stylish in the workplace 

without making mistakes--there are so many possible missteps! 

Today's guest blogger Lisa gives us some great ideas.

What do you think?

When deciding on your wardrobe for the day, there are several things to take into consideration. "The clothes make the man (or woman)" statement may not be as outdated as we may think.

• The first thing to consider is the appropriateness of the outfit to the position. What may be acceptable for a position that is more behind-the-scene type jobs may not be fitting for a receptionist in a law firm. A good rule to follow is to watch how your supervisors dress and follow their lead.

• One of the major workwear mistakes that are made is poor fitting clothing. Whether you are wearing a $50 suit or a $500 suit, it will not look right if the fit is poor. Too tight looks cheap and too big looks frumpy. Muffin tops are a definite no-no.

• Check to make sure that undergarments are not showing. Bra straps that are exposed are not in the least attractive in the work place, not to mention the tops of panties or thongs.

• While it may not be a good idea to underdress for the work place, it can be equally bad to overdress. Cocktail hour dresses do not belong in the office. If you want to be ready for a night on the town right after work, a great little black dress always works. The dress can later be accessorized to make it look a bit more formal.

• Shoes are another tricky topic in the work place. There is nothing wrong with a nice pair of flats and you cannot go wrong with a nice pump and they will fit in with most work places. Strappy sandals are another one of those items that I feel is best left to after hours and don't even consider thong sandals in the office. I have actually heard of some workplaces that do not even allow open toe shoes at all.

• Much of what you wear in the work place will depend on the type of work that you do. Jewelry that is constantly clanging and getting in your way may not be the best option as part of your wardrobe. The same is true of flowing scarves and hair that is constantly hanging in your face. Someone that constantly has to readjust their accessories or hair does not appear to be organized and efficient.

• Fashions are constantly changing and most of the clothes out there are a lot of fun. Bright colors, scarves, bangles and sandals are great fun to wear and should be enjoyed, but depending on where you work, not in the work place.
