Heel of the season..
Introducing the new heel of summer, the 'Flatform'! Taking a cue from the 70's.
I first got my hands on a pair a few years ago and I fell head over my old heels for this new take on the platform. I wore them into the ground, literally.
The first time you put them on, they're kind of like moonboots or trying to balance on two Kleenex boxes. But once you get use to them I promise they will turn into your most comfortable day-to-evening pair of heels.
Remember in my previous blog, Okay let's talk trends, I said there were exceptions to every fashion rule. Well these white flatforms are one of them!

Opposites attract..
As Spring turns to Summer and temperatures start to sore, there's nothing more exhilarating than the first time we get to bare our (albeit, sometimes pasty) legs for all to see.
It seems we are in a transitional period of fashion; one where anything goes, especially when it comes to our hemlines! Is it mini's, midi's or maxi's that we're suppose to be wearing right now? The answer-Whatever you want!
No matter which fabric direction you go in, let's keep it all proportional when it comes to a girl's second best friend - her handbag of course!
I love pairing a mini with a slouchy hobo, tote bag or oversized satchel. The whole shrinking ensemble look is never in. A big bag gives this sexy skirt an effortless fashion element.

When living loose in a maxi, go for a smaller shoulder bag or my favourite for the season, a fabulous cross-body, or take a cue from Ashley Olsen and pair it with a small handbag. A smaller bag evens out the look and doesn't weigh you down.

This summer, when you're not sure which purse will complete your stellar outfit, just remember opposites attract!

When sporting spots..
Speaking of all things gawdy, I have a newly acquired (although should not be admitted) love for trashy television, in the form of Jerseylicious. Imagine Jersey Shore solely dedicated to how to tease your hair and bronze your skin. Amazing!
This inspired my own, Top 5 Style Tips NOT to Take from Girls of the Garden State
No matter what end of the 'Glamazon' (Jersery for when too much is never enough) scale you're on, I guess we can say style is truly in the smokey-eye of the beholder.

I like animal prints just as much as the next girl, with the obvious exception of any girl from New Jersey, let's face it nobody loves animal prints as much as those girls. Not only have animal prints been seen widely across the fashion universe lately, everyone from Anna Kendrick (Twilight) to Helen Mirren have been sporting the spots, we're also seeing a plether of animal-faced garments. Ginnifer Goodwin recently wore a Louis Vuitton white silk jacket emblazed with giraffe faces.
Animal prints are a style-do, but please do sparingly. Choose one item to be wild and keep the rest of your outfit reasonably tamed. Cheetah prints are great as a top, or on heeled booties, just keep it within a neutral palette. When you rock spots, leave your favourite zebra scarf or snake-skin purse at home! This rule should also be applied to your tech gadgets. If your Blackberry is a bedazzled hot mess of neon green and fuschia animal spots, it's probably making more of a statement about your fashion sense than you had hoped.

- Through the Roof Hair, overly teased hair, I'm all for volume but when girls start using hair instead of heels to add height, it's a little much
- 9-Inch Nails, preventing you from doing basic daily functions
- Tan Fan, I love a healthy glow, but orange hues & sparkles do not belong on your skin
- Bold Eyeliner, when it looks like you traded in your Mac pencil for a blunt tip sharpie
- Earrings that are larger than your ears themselves
- More rings than fingers
- Daily smokey-eyes, this look is best saved for after the sun goes down
- Frosty pink lips, I thought this shade was discontinued back in 1989 ?

Here today, out of style tomorrow..
Sometimes it's best to get the look, less the designer price tag.
When this MARC by Marc Jacobs dress stomped it's way down the runway, was showcased in ad campaigns and popped up in virtually every Spring fashion magazine, I knew this would be Marc's hot ticket item of the season. Although this dress is sold out on all my favourite .com fashion avenues, I found an interpretation of the design that offers a better fit for everyone's budget.
