Neon Colors To Light Up The Warm Summer

fanlina — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:31:00 +0000

Summer is here once again! As the weather gets warmer the fashion is changing along with it with electrifying hues to light up any warm summer nights. Summer is usually dominated by soft light colors to match with the blazing sunny weather. But these dark neon colors puts a nice spin to the usual light and simple colors of summer.
For neon colors to really pop you need put it next to black for it to really stand out. Since bright neon colors can be hard to pull off sometimes unless it’s for a very specific occasion or body shape. But with the black incorporated into neon colors it automatically makes it a much more wearable item for many occasions. Also black is a girl’s best friend when it comes to giving the body a slimming appearance.
For accessories the black being incorporated into the neon hues will also be a lifesaver. When trying to accessorize these hard to match colors it can be a pain, since not everyone has neon pink accessories lying around in their closet unless you are an avid raver. You can keep it simple with bold black accessories like bangles and clunky earrings. Or if you would like to go all out then by all means match it with the neon colors on your clothes or like colors to give it a lively mixed look. Have fun with some neon and light up the night with your personality and your outfit!

When you hear color we usually think of red, yellow, or blue but black and white aren’t the first color that comes in mind but it certainly plays a big part in shaping fashion. Black or white on its own is great but when paired together it can be magical. They are contrasting colors but you can use either color to help bring out the feature of your figure or to highlight any part of a piece of clothing.

A curve flattering style where either black or white lines your waist can do wonders in highlighting your curve but also provide you with an extremely effective slimming effect. The simple yet genius design provides a slimming effect for almost every part of the body, from the arm to legs it can give off a slimming optical illusion that will even full Houdini.

As simple as black and white may seem it can do wonders in highlighting the smallest details. An all black dress is lovely, but it can be difficult to add details that are easily visible. But throw in a mix of white and it will immediately bring out details in an all black dress. A while collar in an all black outfit can immediately bring out your neckline and brighten up your face. Or perhaps a white strip running down the middle with black contrasting buttons can be a nice touch that will give the piece a simple yet eye catching aura.

Think back to Julia Roberts at the height of her career where she won best actress and she accepted her award in that iconic black and white Valentino piece. Who knew few pieces of white stripes on an all black dress could rock the fashion world. Come take a look at our various collections of black and white dresses and you too can rock your own fashion world.

Color block fashion

fanlina — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:33:30 +0000

Bring a little color into you life with some block-by-block fashion. It is all about color block and clashing color combinations this season; hard to wear colors like coral, turquoise and yellow take center stage. And if you are looking for an everyday subtle way to incorporate the bold color block look we have some great pieces for this look too. Anything goes, the brighter the better!

To try out the look a little bit at a time, you can start with our short sleeve sectioned color block dress that gives a slimming appearance and the color block effect without being too bold. Once you’re feeling comfortable with the look, try something bold like our sleeveless color block dress with dramatic bright colors to make this a lively look. It is important to only have one color brighter than the rest, and do not have more than one dominating color. A suggestion would be to wear one bright, one bold and one neutral color. Also, neutral doesn’t have to mean nude, try a grey, black, brown or white. Also make sure not to overwhelm the outfit with too many bold accessories. Go for more simple geometric shaped earrings and some bangles.

Color blocking not only looks fantastic, it is complimenting to any body shape; wearing the color block style right leads to a slimming effect which can be seen with a darker column of color down the torso. Different color block styles work for different body shapes. If you are pear shaped, focus on darker colors on the bottom half. If you are apple shaped, highlight legs with color blocks using bright colored tights. An hourglass shape can be complimented with a color block around the waist, drawing attention to your figure in a flattering way. Embrace the trend and enjoy a color-blocking season!

Nothing describes 19505s fashion quite like long swaying swing dresses. It is once again having a full on come back due to shows like Mad Men. In the modern days of mini skirts and short shorts it’s good to bring some full-length styles to mix up your everyday wardrobe. The pleating of the dress will give a nice flow when you are grazing the streets. It also highlights the waist to maximize anyone’s womanly curves.

Dresses like this may be hard to find sometimes in your regular department store, and I am not exactly happy about spending over $150 for a dress at Anthropology. At our vintage section we have every sort of 50s like swing dress. For a more modern look throw on our Vintage Style Ruffle Dress with black lining. It has the shape of the traditional swing dress but with a modern lining to accentuate the body. For a more traditional straight out of 50s style we have ones with lace details and puffed skirts for a dramatic look. Pair these classic looks with a short glove and patent pumps for a distinctive 50s look with more of a modern spin. This is also the perfect time to take out your grand mother’s pearls to make this a complete 50s swing dress outfit. Embrace your inner suburban 50s housewife look and dress in your best swinger dress.
