Platform Sneakers: the New Heels

Hey Guys!

Welcome back!

Sneakers, Sneakers, Sneakers... They've snuck back into our lives. And I'm not talking about $50 Brooks. I'm talking about $200 trendy Gucci sneakers. This post is going to focus on the platform sneaker style. Platforms are sneakers that give you at least an extra inch by thickening the base. These shoes normally also have some pop to them, either through making the base an interesting color to making the entire top of the shoe metallic. Have a look at the list I compiled of platform sneakers, ranging from Gucci to Alice + Olivia:
 

Gucci Leather Low-Top Platform Sneaker, $950; gucci.com
$950 Gucci Leather Low-Top Platform Sneaker. I'd say these give you about 5 extra inches compared to the regular sneaker.

How to style your platforms: Since these shoes really draw attention, you might not want to have the rest of the outfit be as wild. Instead, go with a simple yet chic dress or shirt and pant pairing.

So, don't wait, go get yourself a pair of platforms and get an inch (or more) up on everybody else.😄

Which pair was your favorite? Tell me in the comments below.

See you next time!

Embroidery: Chic or Eek?

Image
Hey Guys! Welcome back! Today, I'll be talking about a newer trend - embroidery. It's been seen on runways from Alexander McQueen to Marchesa. I, on one hand, think embroidery is super chic and it can work for everyone, if they style it correctly. On the other hand, if it's not done well, it will look dated. Embroidery is the decorative stitching of yarn or thread on a piece of fabric. It's one of this season's most popular trends. For me, the embroidery has to be elegant and in flattering places to look good. I also think that embroidery is prettier on black fabric. In my opinion, embroidery on white can look like a Spanish folk dress, which could be really pretty if that's your style. If you still want to have embroidery on white but with a different look, I would recommend making the dress shorter, with less movement, and with cooler embroidery colors such as blue, pink, and/or green. All in all, I th...

Hey Guys! Welcome Back! Today I'm going to highlight a few of the trends from Fashion Month Fall/Winter 2017/18! These trends are really chic and cute! They've been seen all over the runway from Miu Miu to Alexander McQueen. Trend 1 = Colored Faux Fur Alexander McQueen Outono/Inverno Leonard Miu Miu These Beauties are soft, warm, FUZZY, and easy to style! For the bigger coats that cover most of the body, you don't need any other pieces showing, so as not to overwhelm the outfit, unless it's absolutely frigid, then maybe a pair of jeans. XD For the shirts with the fur accents, you could put on a nice pair of jeans with some showstopper boots and a nice up-do. Trend 2 = Broud Shoulders Tibi Zimmermann All the pieces I showed you above have some menswear-inspired elements to them. You'll also see this trend with more feminine pieces, like the outfit below. This broad shoulder piece is a bit more feminine and it include...
