The Shoe Chart: My Top 10

My Top 10 Shoes:


1. The 'holy grail' of shoes has to be THE platform shoes seen to the left hand side of this blog. Obviously they are impossible to walk in, as Naomi Campbell demonstrated, but they are to DIE for! They could be more of an ornament though, than an everyday shoe! 


2. These AWESOME shoes, have to be some of the coolest shoes EVER! Although they may not be to everyone's taste, if you wear them, you are guaranteed to ooze confidence with every step! Schuh (Converse) : £50.


3. These shoes demonstrate that shoes can be and shape form or colour! They may not go with every outfit, but when you do match them to a great ensemble, they can look GORGEOUS! Schuh(Irregular Choice): £39.95.


4. Don't even want to think about the price of these shoes, but they just shout sophistication! Just knowing that you were wearing Chanel shoes would probably improve your walk! Start saving up soon!


5. Perfect with for a day out with your mates, these comfy brogues can be worn with almost ANY outfit you want! The two-tone Chanel inspired look has swept the high street, and this is brilliant way to show your trend! New Look: £26.


6. These Dior heels are so flamboyant, and perfect for making an entrance! The heels may be a little OTT, but they look fabulous! Can't say a price! Sorry! But I don't expect you to be rushing to the shops immediately, I won't!


7. High top trainers may not be the most sophisticated of shoes, but you have to admit that they are cool. Perfect with just jeans & a t-shirt for a walk in the park with your mates. A range of prices, but they definitely have a good stock of them at Foot Locker. 


8. Christian Louboutin wedges must be a summer must-have for every A-lister! Totally on-trend animal print gives them that summer feel and the high wedge will give you a boost! No price given, but I don't want to ask!


9. From designer to high street, wedges are so this season! Great beaded design, and easy to walk in! Make your summer footwear comfy! New Look: £30.00.





 10. Boots may not be suitable for summer, but I loved the fringing detail. The suede finish just takes these boots right back to the mid-west! Can't wait for Autumn! H&M: £34.99.

Lady Gaga vs. Rihanna

Lady Gaga and Rihanna have both swept the planet via their music and their style. No doubt Lady Gaga has imagination, but has she gone too far in the style department? Rihanna has sleek sophisticated elegance with a rough edge, and sometimes has an experiment with her wardrobe. 


But who wins the Style Oscar?? Lets find out! :


CASUAL CLOTHES


Lady Gaga may not have a reputation for wearing 'normal' clothes, but off the set of a music video she can really pull off the casual chic. Pictured here in a loose jersey off the shoulder number, shows her sweeter side.


Rihanna has always had a rock-chick side to her, and Ri-Ri off duty, makes this side shine through! The yellow jacket makes a great contrast to the rest of her outfit, and a shedload of jewellery brings it that sparkle. Her fabulous bone structure is shown perfectly with those retro sunnies. 














THE BRITS AWARDS 2011/2010
Gaga really let us down this time with what I think was a fashion DISASTER! Looking like a cross between a wedding cake and a lampshade, the angelic look has turned evil. Her head looks like it is being sucked in, and the headpiece could be compared to a meringue! In my opinion, the Haus Of Gaga has made a fool Gaga.

Rihanna wowed us all again with this colourful Giles Deacon number! The frilled skirt exaggerates her hips and leaves just a bit of her lovely legs on show. Her red hair really brings a new colour to the table and suits her perfectly.


My Style Oscar would have to go to Rihanna, but have your decision on my poll!

Your Perfect Pair of Jeans

Just been reading a book about finding your 'personal style'. They say it's all about finding clothes to suit your body shape, and I couldn't agree more. Gok Wan is one of my fashion heroes, and this is his way of thinking.

An absolute wardrobe essential, is a pair of jeans. and finding the perfect pair, can be a good investment buy.

For a pear or hourglass figure, 70s inspired flares will balance out you curves. A darker wash denim will make your legs appear slimmer and a wider waistband will smallen your hips. These were £27.99, but now they are only £12.00 from New Look!!

You gorgeous apple shapes out there have the widest choice of jeans! You can go from straight leg to full-on flare! Just make sure you stay well clear of skinny jeans, as they can make your legs look out of proportion. These gorgeous straight cut jeans are now only £19.99 from New Look!

The petite people out there have it easy as most high street stores have their own petite ranges. Keep it narrow by going for skinnies, or bootcut and maybe slightly flared if you are more curvaceous. High waisted jeans will also boost your height. These are a little bit pricey, but gorge at £40.00 from Miss Selfridge!
