While most of us would not claim to be uber-fashionistas we do at least like to look up to date and in the loop. There are few people that can spend their days purchasing couture wardrobes, but you can still look great without having to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on your outfits.
One of the essential fashion items that every woman should apply as her piece de resistance, is an eau de parfum spray. There are literally thousands of fragrances out there these days. There are classics that are still super popular such as Red Door, Poison, Chanel No. 5 and so on, and these certainly still have their place in the market. Current trends in the market for fragrance are towards a lighter note and a poetic, romantic feel with floral and powdery scents coming through.
This is a fun time for fashion, as there is a real sense of mix and match and pairing different pieces with each other. There is also great variety in the styles that are popular from maxi dresses to short and tight little dresses that show off all the womanly curves that you have. There are also loose styles that can hide a multitude of sins while still looking hot.
Essentials that you should have in your shoe wardrobe include a brown boot to be dressed up or down, some hot pumps to show off your pins in their best light and if you are game a pair of sky high heels in an almost ankle boot design. Hot colors around now include deep purple and skin tone and floral prints are huge especially in skirts and little dresses.
As a nod to the revival of some eighties trends, we are seeing a move away from pastel colored and girly slips, nighties and sleepwear that have been popular for a while and moving towards stronger colors and designs.
Makeup is also very fashion focused and it should reflect the clothes you are wearing. There is a move away from the nude colors and soft pastel shades that have been common and more of an emphasis on bold colors. Lashes should stand out by applying a couple of layers of black mascara and a red lipstick is indispensable.
You do not need to follow every trend that comes out and if you did, you would look like a bit of a desperado. The secret to looking up to date, but not over done is to pick and choose from the latest fashions and trends according to what appeals to you and what works for your shape and complexion. Once you have shortlisted some possibles that you like try to add your own flavor to it.
