Woman who are short in stature and a little narrow at the waist are known as petite.   If you are shopping around for a wedding dress for your petite frame, please scroll down to read more.

The wrong silhouette may focus the attention on the small height. On the other hand, the correctly chosen wedding gown can make wonders and distract attention from the height. The key to finding the most complementary dress for petite brides is all in the details, especially four specific silhouette styles that help create a long and lean stature.  Petite wedding dresses that create the illusion of a long torso are perfect.

It is important to take into account that a petite bride’s wedding gown must be narrow. Do not go for ball-gown dresses as you may just become invisible in the abundance of the skirts. The narrow silhouette suits even the brides with imperfect bodies as it visually adds height and highlights the merits of the body. This elegant lace mermaid gown is the perfect choice.

Make Your T-Shirt Look Expensive With These Affordable Accessories

barbara Leave a comment

I am sure many of us feel most comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans.  No matter how many new tops or dresses that I have sitting in the closet, I would still reach out to my comfortable tee and jeans. The simplicity of a great pair of jeans and a clean white T makes it one of the most versatile outfits around.  It allows you to go from a day at the mall to dinner with friends to a night of bar hopping. If you are like me and would want to always look on-trend and put together even when wearing the jeans and t-shirt combo, well, here is a simple tip. You don’t need to own expensive things or buy expensive items to look chic.  The classic t-shirt outfit can feel modern and new with just a few key accessories such as chain necklaces, neck scarves, sunglasses and red lipstick.

  1.  Chain necklaces

Oversize chain necklaces were the rage during Fall 2019 and continue to be a major spring 2020 trend.  They are one of those accessories that always look expensive eventhough the price tag is not.  Layering a stack of gold chains around your neck will instantly make whatever you’re pairing them with feel stylish and luxe, whether that’s jeans and a tee or a dress and heels.

2.  Neck Scarves

Scarves are bright, patterned, light and fun. They are best used to color and add interest to an otherwise simple look.

3.  Shoulder Bags

The little baguette shoulder bag trend started to make a comeback late last year and I don’t mind it one bit. There is nothing like a little bag tucked under your arm, making your entire outfit feel a bit more polished.

So if you are like me who has like a closet filled with jeans, then maybe you understand my problem. A big part of wearing denim the right way is knowing which shoes to pair with them.  There are so many different types of denim style like mom jeans, crop, flared, straight or boot cut.  I managed to find some effortlessly cool style inspiration on the best shoes to wear.

Overalls aren’t just for little kids anymore—they’ve made their way from the schoolyard to the city streets in the most stylish of ways. Glam it up with a pair of heels.

Mules whether flat or heeled, add that extra layer of cool polish to an outfit like this one. The best jeans that go with mules? Skinny of course.

Mom jeans are jeans that are high-waisted and a little loose on the thigh area.  Just put on a pair of stilettos to add instant polish.  It’s an easy way to take your denim outfit from day to night, or even to the office.  Pair it with sneakers for a perfect off-duty denim look.

The only thing better than shopping is shopping while you’re on vacation! Here are three of the top shopping destinations in Manhattan, as well as some tips on other nearby places to experience.

Elegant Tightwad: The Shopping Tour With Wholesale Prices

It also boasts a rich history, including selling $400,000 of furs to John Lennon and Yoko Ono on Christmas Eve in the late 1970s. Bergdorf Goodman is a must-see to experience New York luxury.

The Best Spring Trend For 2020

barbara Leave a comment

Though we still in our thick jackets and sweaters, that does not stop us from checking out the emerging Spring trend for 2020.  Scroll  and down to see the Spring staples that are going to be big in a few more months.

Chain Necklace

The chain necklace is an easy way to add a little glamour to a casual look.  It really adds texture to a look especially when you have a plain top like a white tee.

Ripped Jeans

Ripped jeans are perfect for spring. They add a little casual and unexpected edge to a look especially when paired with a more sophisticated and elegant top or a  kitten heel.

Puffed Sleeves

We love dramatic sleeves.  It is all about the drama and excess. If you like puffy sleeves but do not want to look over-dramatic, you can style it to look chic and toned down with denim. It’s all about balance.

Flared Jeans

Flared jeans are going to have a major moment this spring. Think 70s with a slight flare and paired with a tennis shoe and a tucked-in tee.

New Spring 2020 Trends You Need To Shop Now

barbara Leave a comment

While January can feel like a rather gloomy place, the start of a new year is be the perfect excuse to look ahead to what the new year has in store.  Let us take our mind off some puffer jackets and boots for a while to talk about Spring.  We know it is hard to imagine breezy floral dresses and sandals while most of us are still bundled up from head to toe right? We can choose to look at the brighter and warmer side.  You can start prepping your shopping list in advance for the coming spring / summer trends of 2020.

If you thought that glittery outfits were reserved for ringing in the new year, special occasions or any themed party, well it is time to change that perception for Spring 2020.  The fashion world’s obsession with sparkle is still going strong.  The Spring/Summer 2020 runways were filled with sequins than stripes or plain prints, which proves that the shiny, glistening detail can be worn for absolutely any occasion and season. Designers gave their stamp of approval to sporting sequins for both day and night

During the New York Fashion Week, designer Marc Jacobs closed out on a sparkly note with a chorus of shimmery gowns.  Also spotted were floor-sweeping glitter trains, bedazzled pantsuit and more.  Italian designers also got in on the glimmer action.  Fendi debuted its vacation-ready clothes by featuring an easy to throw mini dress.  Emporio Armani came out with glitzy day wear with clear sequins, creating a see-through effect.

You can find similar outfits from Yoins below.

Surprise people with this glitzy sequin dress.

Don’t be afraid to own the streets in 2020.  Everyday sequins are not only acceptable but they are veritably trendy. Sequins are here and it is time we all shone as bright as the summer sun.

Another trend that is going to be big in 2020 is the bigger and bolder floral. Designers have amped-up traditional florals by rendering them in dramatic, voluminous silhouettes. Badgley Mischka has paired classic feminine aesthetic with flowing silhouettes and Prabal Gurung came out with mixed floral print looks at the recent fashion week.

You can get the above looks from Yoins.com.

Floral and puff sleeves are big this year.

There is no such thing as too much floral, so go forth and be brave.

Whether you dress up in a sparkly gown or a floral dress, prepare to stand out and be the peacock in your friend group.  Knowledge is power and with the trend info ahead, you will be the most fashionable, smartest dresser in your friend group.
