3 MUST HAVE shoes for the new season!

Autumn/winter ’12 brought with it a sumptuous collection of shoes, many of which steered clear of the ‘high fashion’ (read: unwearable) label, and quickly became our new season must-haves as we saw them stride along the catwalks back in February. Sexed-up platform Mary Janes; loafers ranging from patent to pretty heavily studded and trusty ankle boots with off kilter detailing all caught our eye and here’s how you should be shopping for them this season. If you’re after a season-appropriate shoedrobe but always run back to ‘safety net’ designs because you can’t bear to splash the cash on one wear ‘It’ designs, check out our three key new season shoe picks! The Ankle Boot Where: Burberry Prorsum, Acne, Mulberry Why: The ankle boot is a trusty winter staple, and for the new season it’s been sexed up with various embellishments. Perfect for pairing with a pencil skirt and soft knit for work or equally stylish worn with leather trousers and a slouchy t-shirt for off-duty cool; we love the tough luxe feel the silver chain detailing brings to these McQ brogued boots. What: McQ Brogued Boot, £425, available at Kurt Geiger The Season-hopping Slipper Where: Emporio Armani, Carven, 3.1 Phillip Lim Why: The slipper isn’t a slippery trend (pun intended), in fact it’s here to stay for good as a wardrobe staple we have all come to love (especially our feet!). If you’re looking for an alternative to the now common round toe slipper, opt for a simple pointed version with standout detail. What: MJ Navy Gem Slippers, £32, available at Topshop The Brocade Party Heel Where: Dolce & Gabbana, Jason Wu, Oscar de la Renta Why: Heavy, opulent brocade is a new season favourite and spread from the clothes onto footwear for autumn/winter ’12. Metallic accents are perfect for livening up a […]

On-Trend Shoes Can Be Comfortable Too!

It’s so easy to be lured in by beautiful shoes. Often they’re so painful we wear them once or twice and then buy some more. And so the cycle continues! But isn’t it about time we started looking for on-trend shoes that are actually comfortable, or at least shoes that fit? To get the perfect fitting women’s shoes we need to start measuring our feet. The one size fits all width is becoming a thing of the past, with a number of high street stores and online retailers selling stylish shoes in various widths. For a bit of inspiration here’s a quick look at the latest trends: Wedges The ultimate spring/summer shoes are wedges – sky high, platforms, even flatforms. Any colour goes but look out for on-trend blues, from ice blue to navy and cobalt, for a nautical feel. Or try opulent metallic for a more versatile choice, in gold, silver or pewter. Embellished Flats Either pumps, sandals or open toed, these wardrobe staples look great paired with skinny jeans and a casual tee. Or for smarter days wear with a pencil skirt and on-trend peplum top. Shoe boots With the disappointing British weather shoe boots have stuck around this summer. Perfect worn with anything from a party dress to office wear, they’re a must-have trans-seasonal shoe. Stay classic with black suede or for something a bit more eye-catching opt for animal print.

Diane Kruger and Dianna Agron sport contrasting looks at Louis Vuitton party

Blonde beauties Diane Kruger and Dianna Agron both attended a fab Louis Vuitton party at New York’s Whitney museum last night to celebrate the brand’s collaboration with Yayoi Kusama. We thought all of the guests would embrace the loud theme of the Louis Vuitton for Yayoi Kusama collection, but Diane Kruger proved that even the most minimal of outfits can hold its own in a room full of bold and colourful decor and guests. Diane once again showcased her style credentials as she wore a sheer (but not in the trashy way, thank you) maxi skirt paired with a gorgeous brown, white and blue kimono jacket. Her up-do and gold earrings complemented the rest of her look perfectly – top marks to Diane, as usual! Glee’s Dianna Agron also ranked highly, as she really turned on the wow-factor in an embellished, printed blue, black and brown dress. Although she wore plain shoes and minimal jewellery, Dianna made up for it with her ultra-glam make-up and expertly tousled hair. She definitely embraced the theme of the collection and occasion! Both blonde bombshells looked divine at the event, but whose look do you prefer? [poll id=”357″] [Images]

Kelly Osbourne’s pretty at the Oscars party

Elton John’s post-Oscar party always brings the cream of the fashion crop out to play (except for Katie Price, why on earth was she there?) so even the stars who weren’t invited to the ceremony still get to excel in the style stakes. Topping our best dressed list this year? Kelly Osbourne – again. Although she originally wanted to wear Badgeley Mischka, we think she made the right choice in settling for this grey Tony Ward dress instead. The cap sleeves and satin sash flattered her flawless hourglass figure whilst the matching accessories finished the outfit off perfectly – and her Sixties bouffant hair and hot pink lipstick made her look like a true Hollywood starlet. That said, we’d love to take a peek under that floor-skimming hem to catch a look at her feet – we bet she’s got some killer shoes under there. All in all, it’s another great look from Ms. Osbourne for us, but do you like her lady-like look? Let us know your thoughts below. [poll id=”45″]

H! by Henry Holland launch party

So we’ve been pretty excited about Henry Holland for Debenhams for a while, but never more so than now. We popped down to his H! by Henry Holland launch on Tuesday evening for a sneak preview of what’s to come next spring. Full of high hopes though we were, we had our anxieties , Debenhams may well have a roster of big name designers (Betty Jackson, Matthew Williamson, John Rocha), but Henry Holland’s a little different , he’s younger, quirkier and, dare we say it, a tad cooler , would it really work?

Keeping Warm with Winter Boots

[no skim] It’s going to be a cold winter in the UK this year, and with the coming party season it’s easy to forget that as beautiful as those sparkly party shoes might be, they’re not going to keep you warm on a frosty evening out on the town! Thankfully, however, fashion designers are aware of our predicament, and even on the high street there are a range of stylish options to keep your feet from getting cold, so you can at least make your way around on a night out! Throughout 2012, fashion weeks and catwalks were buzzing with the latest boot trends, inspired no doubt by the increasingly colder temperatures and a return to the Heritage-inspired style that favours traditional English winter wear. Of particular note were the quality leather riding boots currently favoured by Ralph Lauren, which you can match with a tweed coat or Burberry scarf to complete the look. For a high-street alternative, Clarks’ range of women’s shoes include some great options inspired by country living. Their GORE-TEX range, which uses special materials that are waterproof while still allowing your feet to breathe, is particularly welcome in the wet winter months! Extra-high boots have also made a big impression this year, with top designers like Versus and Roland Mouret sending thigh-hugging leather boots down the runway in colours to match the rest of the outfit. This over-the-knee style brings a real boldness to an outfit – although a pair of warm leggings in the same colour will have a similar, more subtle effect for a softer look. Wear with a dress that ends just above the knee, or create a more daring ensemble by leaving a visible gap between the boot top and the hemline. Finally, ankle-boots are as popular as they ever have been. […]

Interview with Shoe Designer of the Year Rupert Sanderson

As a fellow blogger, we at MFL were delighted that ELLE’s Accessory Designer of the Year Rupert Sanderson took time out of his hectic schedule to talk to us (between designing shoes for Karl Lagerfeld and blogging for Vogue no less). The London-based shoe designer and chairperson of Fashion Fringe Shoes 2008 has been crazy about footwear since his early teens and after studying shoe design at the world-renowned Cordwainers College, honed his skills working with Sergio Rossi and Bruno Magli in Italy. Rupert has since taken his brand on a journey and en route has gathered a dedicated following, enlisting celebrity disciples such as Kate Moss, not to mention two stores in London and a portfolio of high profile stockists around the world. Every style savvy girl knows to head straight to Rupert Sanderson for gorgeous shoes that blend traditional Italian craftsmanship with cool, individual style. And a fact you may not have known: To compliment his obsessive passion with the Italian craft of shoe-making, every pair of Rupert Sanderson shoes is named after a Daffodil. How very British… Who is the Rupert Sanderson woman? Confident and clever, she is someone who has the confidence to shop outside the usual brand because in her daily life she makes decisions based on her own independence of mind. A woman of some substance who relishes the sex appeal of a great shoe.

A Mens Guide To Monochromatic Outfits

Monochromatic outfits are surging in popularity. Many people think the concept means limiting your clothing to gray, white or black, but it’s really about using any single consistent color throughout your ensemble.  Michelle Obama made a notable monochromatic fashion statement at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, and Jake Gyllenhaal has been known to follow this style at some awards shows. Queen Elizabeth II was probably the most prominent example, as she wore color-consistent outfits throughout her seven-decade reign, down to hats and umbrella trims. Dressing this way is a growing trend in men’s outerwear for several reasons. Many men find it calming and psychologically beneficial. At the very least, it can make it easier and quicker to choose the clothes you’re going to wear each day. What Are Monochromatic Outfits? While monochromatic outfits might be a modern trend, the roots of the word monochrome go all the way back to ancient Greece. The Greek word “monokhr?matos” means “of a single color.” The “of” part is crucial because monochromatic outfits derive from one source color, but the elements aren’t always the same. Different elements of your outfit might be various shades or tints. The creativity comes in subtle details, such as drapery, patterns and fit. One popular misconception about monochromatic dressing is that everything needs to be solid. You can dress that way if you want, but incorporating different textures and patterns into your various garments brings a more sophisticated vibe to your look. Monochromatic Outfit Ideas With the right clothes, you can pull off a monochromatic look in any color. However, if you’re just starting off, you might try taking a minimalist route with muted colors. These include black and gray, but you can also venture safely into white, navy and beige. The Man in Black Going all black is a […]

A Guide To Staying Warm And Looking Good This Winter

You might think that your fashion-conscious life grinds to a halt during winter. You can’t wear all the cute outfits you have or show off your new style because you will be bundled up until the clouds break in a few months. Or so you might think. There are still plenty of ways to look good and stay warm this winter. It’s all about knowing how to approach it.  It doesn’t matter if you’re spending evenings cozied up by the fireplace, visiting friends, or attending your work party. You can always find new ways to look as good as you feel as you embrace the festive season. From your everyday outfits to special occasions, here is a guide to staying warm and looking good this winter. Start At the Bottom  People rarely think about it, but comfort often starts at your feet, especially if you’re standing and walking around all day at work or after a day of shopping. Choosing the right winter boots or shoes is essential for helping you feel comfortable and warm over the holiday season.  The most important features to look for are style and slip-resistance so you look good and stay safe on icy streets. The same goes for insulated lining so your toes don’t freeze. The more insole padding and support, the less foot strain you’ll feel so you can stay energized.  Combine Classy With Comfort  You don’t need to abandon your favorite classy looks just because it’s cold. It’s possible to combine classy with comfort as long as you know how to achieve it. One way to do this is by looking at your sweaters and dresses and seeing which colors and styles complement each other. Here, you can wear your favorite dress and stay warm.  Another solution is using jewelry to class […]

Simple Steps for a Super Summer BBQ. Do This and Win Over Everyone!

Summer is finally here! Time to plan your next BBQ party!  Whether you’re a grill pro or this is your first time hosting, planning a successful BBQ can be tricky.  There are so many things to consider, like location, menu planning, decorations, and more! So to help you get it right, we’ve put together some top tips on how to plan a summer BBQ bash that your guests will love! Decide on the right location  When it comes to hosting a BBQ, one of the first things to decide is whether you want to have it inside or outside.  If you have a large indoor space, an indoor BBQ can be an excellent choice, especially if you’re not sure about the weather.  But if you want to soak up the sun and enjoy the great weather, an outdoor BBQ is a no-brainer. If you opt for an outdoor BBQ, it’s important to plan for the weather. Check the forecast ahead of time and have a backup plan in case of rain or extreme heat.  If you decide to have your BBQ in a park or public place, be aware of any restrictions or rules regarding grilling. Don’t forget to consider the size of your guest list and the space you’ll need. If you’re inviting a big group of people, make sure you have a location with plenty of room for everyone to spread out.  On the other hand, if it’s a smaller gathering, a smaller backyard or patio might be perfect. Create a guest list Think about your space and how many people you can easily accommodate. Mix it up and invite family, friends, and neighbours. If you want to invite colleagues, keep it casual. Once you’ve got your guest list sorted, it’s time to send out your invitations. You […]

Match or Clash: Choosing a Color Palette for Your Outfit and Accessories

While we all love the idea of a color-coordinated capsule closet that follows the perfect palette with no compromise, we all love colors outside of our chosen palette and we should be able to easily embrace them! Because we all have color preferences that fall outside of any given palette, we recommend that instead of creating a color-coordinated capsule closet, that you have fun and show off your fashion skills by learning how to integrate any color you’re loving on at the moment into any outfit by making per-outfit palettes around them. You may have just bought some colorful and cute sandals for women in anticipation of summer or you may have a pretty new green blouse for a garden party. But if you want to make sure that you do them justice and avoid a jarring clash of colors, we’re here to show you how it’s done! Categorizing Colors  Building your outfit on a category of colors will help guide you through your closet and will be the best way to avoid a clash. Always consider starting off with a category that covers a wide range of colors like cool tones, warm tones, jewel tones, pastels or brights! Once you’ve found a compelling category, picking specific colors and shades within it will depend on what you’re dressing for and sometimes even where or what they will be used for within the ensemble. (For instance, as a base color or as an accent color — but we’ll get into that next!) No matter what, picking your palette should be easier after this step! Pick the Base Color(s) of Your Outfit Your base colors will normally be neutrals, and will normally coincide with the colors that you choose when you’re buying essentials. These are colors that transcend trends, seasons and time […]

Step Into a New Season in Style – Top Footwear Styles to Shop this Spring

Are you ready for bold colors, cute sandals, and sky-high platforms? It’s time to trade in those heavy winter boots for something light, fun, and colorful this spring. So let’s dive in and see what’s trending this season.  Dopamine dressing – a new trend only for the brave  It goes without saying that black is a classy color with which you simply can not go wrong. Usually, whatever you are wearing, black shoes – the right style of course – will go with it. However, a new trend that is gaining mainstream popularity is the one called ‘dopamine dressing’. As the name suggests, it’s exciting, bold, and takes some guts to pull off. In a nutshell, it refers to colorful footwear (from red and orange to cooler hues, like green and steel blue) that serves to uniquely complement your outfit and accessories. In other words, it brings out the colors you’re wearing – and, needless to say, draws attention. An example would be pairing a neon outfit with mauve pumps. This is the type of trend that top names like Versace and Stella McCartney couldn’t wait to embrace this spring. So if you’re willing to try something fresh and bold this spring, this is just the thing for you.   Breaking the rules with sporty sandals  “The athleisure trend lives on and sporty sandals are set to be popular this Spring, as seen across the Spring/Summer catwalks of Hermes and Chloe, notes Katie Eastwood, the Style Ambassador at Stitch Fix UK. Chunky soles are back, which might remind you of the 80s and 90s. What makes them extra special, however is that they are combined with comfortable neoprene fabric and velcro straps, which makes them extremely pleasant to wear. “These sandals epitomize our want for both style and comfort”, adds Eastwood.

Capsule Wardrobes for Kids

Are you tired of washing huge piles of clothing in an endless cycle? At the same time, you can’t find clothing items for your kid that match properly – it might be time to consider a capsule wardrobe. Capsule wardrobes aren’t only for adults; they are also perfect for your children.  Planned correctly, a capsule wardrobe reduces the piles of washing you need to take care of; although they will still require frequent washing, you will save energy overall. Additionally, you don’t have any worries about what your kid will wear to the party, the playground, or the shops.   Use a Checklist  One of the challenges of creating an effective capsule wardrobe – whether it’s for adults or kids – is getting the right balance of clothing items. This doesn’t happen by accident; in fact, you need to keep a checklist of basic clothing types you need so that everything is covered in the capsule.   The best time to create a capsule wardrobe for kids is every three months when the seasons change; this gives you a chance to reflect on what they have and what they might need going forward. Another great time to create your list is when your kids outgrow the clothes they have. Identify Some Brands  Chances are you have some clothing brands that you swear by and always update your wardrobe with their latest seasonal offerings. When it comes to boys pyjamas and other kids’ clothing, going with brands is an even better idea because they have standardized sizes.  Kid’s brands are usually fairly consistent when it comes to sizes, colors, textures, and shapes. Not only that, when you buy kid’s clothes from a brand, it’s easier to mix and match the clothing items due to brand consistency. This makes the process of creating a […]

Once you’ve found a few styles and pieces you love, it’s important to stick to a few general bridal jewelry guidelines. Here are some dos and don’ts when it comes to planning your wedding jewelry set.  WEDDING JEWELRY DOS: DO Take Inspiration from Your Engagement Ring: If you aren’t sure where to begin, your engagement ring is a great place to start when it comes to curating a wedding jewelry look. Get inspired by the size, shape, stone and style that makes your wedding ring extra-special.

Fashion Advice for Adulting Women

Dressing the part isn’t just an expression; it could mean the difference between poor self-esteem and spot-on confidence. Research shows that we underestimate the psychological effects of fashion and struggle with how they can make us feel good. Clothes can reflect and boost our sense of self-esteem and change our mood and productivity.  As our lives change, so should our fashion choices. A season of interviewing and career climbing may require more professional clothes for a dynamic look. Traveling for work or pleasure may need comfortable but trendy clothes. The challenging part is knowing what to keep in our wardrobes, especially during those crucial years of entering adulthood. If you’re not sure where to start building your wardrobe, here are five pieces of advice to consider: 1. Invest in Lingerie Kickoff your wardrobe journey by investing in what’s going on under your clothes. Investing in quality pieces makes your clothes lay smoother and can give you a boost of confidence. Remember to throw out items that are worn or torn to refresh your undergarment drawer. Your undergarment investment should also include sexy lingerie. Whether it’s just for you or a significant other, you’ll feel empowered and sexy in your new finds. Retailers like 3Wishes can help you find pieces from tasteful to scandalous to build the look you want.  2. Purchase Key Foundation Pieces Your wardrobe should also include key foundation pieces for everything from work to play. Focus on the idea of creating a base for your outfits, from high-quality black slacks to skinny jeans and a crisp, white shirt. The idea is you can wear these foundation pieces for multiple occasions, mix and match, and have a reliable go-to in your closet.  3. Dress for Your Lifestyle If you feel like you never have a handle on what […]
