Adding the Right Touch of Sparkle to Your Cocktail Dress

A little hint of shimmer, a little touch of dazzle, a little undertone of sparkle – and there is the perfect dress for you to turn all eyes your way at the party! If your aim is to stun all at the party, choosing one of the sparkling cocktail dresses is the right thing to do. Here are a few ideas you could explore.

Go all the way with shine – Opt for a dress with overall sequin work and in a colour that makes your skin glow. This sparkling number works best for festive gatherings. Match it up with a clutch and heels in a complimentary shade.

Add an undertone of sparkle – Opt for a dress in a dark shade with a hue of gold or silver. You could also choose to wear a dress in gold/silver. Add some vintage or couture jewellery and chic heels and you are ready for the cocktail.

When just a hint is enough – If you think that overdoing the dazzle is not going to work for you, opt for a dress with just a touch of it. How do you do this? Well, here are a few options that could work.

ü  Pick a dress with a studded or sequinned neckline.

ü  Choose one that has a sequined layer at the end of the skirt.

ü  Get a dress that has a panel of sequins on the bodice.

Joe Browns starts a clothes adventure

Joe Browns is a clothes site that offers Hippy Clothes. This term is perhaps associated with the 60’s but it is modern and up to date. Yes the clothes do have a quality of the 60’s and 70’s but they also have a streak of the modern day in them too. They have Hippie Skirts, dresses and a lot more to offer.

They describe themselves as follows:

Joe Browns is a true lifestyle company, which was started in 1998 to offer something more exciting and more individual than the other clothing catalogues in the UK – it’s a state of mind, for those that enjoy life and want to live a bit, and although it’s a cliché, we feel the more you put into it, the more you get out of it.
The colloquial approach and true excitement in what they offer makes me want to grab my mouse and browse through all that they offer, and what they offer is a lot.

You have your usual women’s clothes and men’s clothes, many of which are of the hippy clothes category. You then have gifts and accessories which are ideal for this time of year in particular. These are quirky gifts such as a Union Jack guitar clock, Vinyl book ends and a Betty Boop lighter. Individual presents and a change from the usual mug with your name on it and token socks!

The other categories are men’s bargains, women’s bargains and adventure. The latter of which had me scratching my head until I clicked on it and discovered the wonder that is the category Adventure.

It is an area where you can book adventures. I cannot put it in better words than the site has themselves, so here it is:

Want to inject a bit of excitement into your day? Trying to organise the ultimate hen or stag weekend? Need a team building exercise? A Joe Browns adventure activity is the answer. All our activities are guaranteed to get your blood pumping and give you memories to last a lifetime!

What more can you ask for? Clothes and adventure! I know that this is now my favourite clothes site to visit http://www.joebrowns.co.uk.

Boho Chic Look for the Plus Size Woman

Stylish dressing is for all women – whether you are on the petite side or the plus side. There is no reason to think that you are never going to find a trendy dress because you are on the healthy side, think again. Even designer wear labels have dresses suited for individuals like you.

If you are a free spirit, it is best to opt for the bohemian style. These plus size dresses blend style and comfort and are ideal for all times. Here are a few ideas of how to dress up for certain occasions.

For an elegant dinner – A long flowing gown decorated with sequins is just perfect. Choose materials like chiffon and silk. Pair it up with chandelier earrings, high heels and neutral makeup and you are ready to turn heads your way.

For a casual stroll – A nice short-sleeved frock with empire waist, in bright bold colours and leopard or paisley prints, is ideal. Team up with flat sandals, a large hat, hoop earrings, big hobo bag and makeup done in rustic tones.

For a rollicking party – Instead of plus size dresses opt for a nice tunic top with gathered layers in the front. Pair it up with leggings. Choose a funky neckpiece or headband and comfortable shoes to complete the look.

Whatever dress and accessories you choose; the secret to get the right boho chic look is your attitude. It is all about exercising your imagination and creativity to achieve the look you wish. Of course, choosing the right brand is similarly important. Why not divulge into Tim Weiland and collect some precious ones.

The lace look

Although some doubters have been quick to point out the resemblance between a certain pattern trend and old fashioned frilly doilies, it cannot be argued that with the surge in popularity of vintage clothing, lace and in particular black lace has returned to the fashion scene.

In all kinds of ways, lace is making a big comeback. Tights and leggings are in on the trend, with lace patterns in different styles to jazz up your bottom half. Wearing lacy tights with a plain top is a sure way to get your legs noticed, although if you’re a petite person and worry about the length of your legs, be careful of too much print and patterning because the more over the top variants can make your legs look shorter.

Two tone womens tops are also utilising the lace look, with various vest tops available with lace sleeves or the shoulders and neck areas in lace. Lace can liven up an outfit and make it that little bit cheeky; if you’re a little too self conscious to go completely bare skin in some areas, lace reveals a little bit of flesh without cheapening your look. Don’t overdo it, though. Lace can be classy in the right amounts, but if used too heavily it can age you rapidly.

Lace jackets and boleros are also in, acting as light coverings for shoulders and arms that can be easily packed away in your bag or carried over an arm. Wearing a small bolero which only covers your shoulders can allow for a satisfying reveal of bare skin, a trend which is proving popular on the runway.

If you decide to look for lace, though, choose black or white. Coloured lace is far too over the top. Remember to complement lace with something plain and simple, and don’t mix with geometric patterns otherwise your outfit will just have too much going on at once. Lace up!
