How To: Burgundy

Without a doubt, burgundy color is the queen of this season. Don't have any burgundy piece in your closet yet? Well, hurry up, there's still chance to buy a piece, wheather a skirt, pants, shoes or bag. Because every woman NEEDS a piece in this fashionable warm color in her life!

Which piece to choose?
Red is a prominent color that attracts our attention. Highlight the part of the body of which you are especially proud. If you have long and slender legs you will choose pants or shorts. Burgundy sweater attracts focus on your upper body and the face. Don't forget the shoes, which are not only black or brown anymore. Be brave and wear them in burgundy color!

How to combine?
For those who like to stand out, the combination of bright red and burgundy is great choice. It will catch the attention without a doubt and you will look extremely fashionable. Wear a bright red dress and combine it with burgundy tights and shoes. Complete the look with golden accessories.

If you find this combination too extreme, you can combine burgundy pants with petroleum blue sweater and complete the image with nail polish of the same color. I've already given you some advice on how to wear burgundy pants in THIS POST.

This is the safest combination. Combine burgundy shorts with neutral tones such as gray and white. Complete the look with statement necklace in the same neutral color.

 

Choose the combination that's most suitable for you and own it! ;)

Do it like: Olivia Palermo

I'm often fascinated by Olivia Palermo's outfits. I'm asking myself How does she do it? How does she put together an outfit that looks so good at the end. Is there any rule to make it all easier and faster so you don't have to stand in front of the wardrobe, thinking hard which pieces to put together?

Well, actually there is! :) It's called Three color rule and its basic premise is never wearing more than three colors at the time. Don't believe me? Olivia can prove it:

As you can count, she always combines three colors in an outfit. Since black and white are technically shadows, you can be more flexible when putting these two colors into outfits. You can wear four colors if one of them is black or white. This is how Olivia did:

About the jewelry: try to stick to one color (either gold or silver) in an outfit, especially when wearing statement necklaces or watches. Just like this:

When wearing patterned piece of clothing, try to keep other pieces as simple as possible. You can choose a color out of the pattern and match it with an accessory, for example bag, shoes, hat or gloves.

Matching colors of your bag and shoes? That's been out of fashion for a long time! Rather try to combine the bag with the color of your trousers or skirt. I also like to match gloves or hat with the color of my bag.

Red lips also count, so you can combine the color of your lipstick with the piece of acessory!

Now that you know the trick, you can easily put together fabulous outfit and rock the streets in it! Work it, baby!

OMGWOW

Cara + Dsquared2 = Perfection! No more words needed.

Fashion Police At The 2012 AMA's

Did you watch the 40th anniversary American Music Awards sunday evening? I watched some clips today and I can tell you that I was quite impressed by the outfits from the red carpet (since this is the main reason why I watch events like this)! I gathered some of the best, some of the average and some of the worst outfits. Time for fashion police! Wiuuu wiuuu wiuuu!

THE BEST

 

 

WINNER: Taylor Swift (10/10)

I think Taylor is a total winner. She always knows how to look glamorous, but also youthful and fresh. Her flowery nude mini-dress with open back, red nails and sexy long legs make a perfect combination! You go, girl!

Zendaya (9/10)

16-year old actress surprised me with this cute little outfit! I love her flared skirt dress with little patterns on it and bright pink lips makes her outfit look playful and fun. I'm just not so sure about the hairdo.. maybe it could be more youthful, but in spite of that, she looks great!

Carrie Underwood (8.5/10)

I always like Carrie's outfits and this one is not an exception. This color is just perfect for her and the dress wraps her body perfectly! The only thing I don't like is the bag.. did she borrowed it from her grandma or what? The color is totally wrong and It just looks shabby! Otherwise, she looks stunning!

Nicky Minaj (8/10)

Wow! Nicky Minaj was the biggest surprise from me, since we are used to see her in extravagant fantasy dresses. Unlike previous outfits this one is really "calm" and sleek. The bright lime color caught everyone's eye and the model of the dress works perfectly for her, since it hides all the imperfections and makes her body look tall and slim. The hair and necklace also look great.. just work on your posing next time, Nicky. 

THE AVERAGE

 

Brandy (7.5/10)

Where was Brandy hiding all that time? I haven't heard about her for very long.. Anyways, I love this asimetrical outfit in earthy colors! We don't see this kind of look often on the events like this. It really is something special, I just think it looks too casual for red carpet. It would be more appropriate for a movie premiere or something.

Lucy Hale (7/10)

Pretty little liar is staying loyal to her vintage-inspired style. She variegated simple black dress with red heels and silver accessories. It looks good, but still- nothing special.

Ke$ha (7/10)

Ke$ha's left her messy style at home and surprised with delicate nude lace dress and polished hair. I think the change is good, but I don't like straight cut of the dress. It should be more fitting in the waist and maybe little longer. Although pointed black nails and extravagant shoes makes it all better and are saving her signature style.

THE WORST

 

THE WINNER: Suzanne Delaurentiis (2/10)

WTF did Suzanne think when she put on this outfit?! If I cover the lower part of her body, it looks quite okay.. but from the waist down it's a total disaster! The ruffles, the lenght, the fabric.. everything is just wrong! And the shoes.. I have no words. When next time attending event like this, hiring a stylist would be a good idea, Suzanne!

Eden Sher (3/10)

Oh Eden, when I look at this picture, I see corky Sue from The Middle (a character she plays) and not flirtatious Eden. This dress would work better if she wore straight hair with it and added some more accessories. Also the pose could be more elegant.. at the end she doesn't want everyone to keep her in mind as clumsy Sue right?

Chris Brown (4/10)

Anyone knows what happened to Chris Brown?! Hairy face, weird sunglasses and sad look make him look like orangutan! Otherwise I'm satisfied with his outfit, which doesn't stand out but is suitable for a rapper like him. So Chrisy, next time get rid of the glasses, shave your face and put a smile on your face and your score will be higher!

 

Hayden Panettiere (4.5/10)

Hayden is such a sweetheart, but with this outfit she hit in the blank. The shiny fabric and model of the dress don't go together and make her look like an ice-skater! The shoes are also inappropriate since they look so huge on her tiny feet. In spite of all that, her cute smile is saving her and takes the attention away from the dress.. and shoes.

A Touch Of Romance

Leather leggings, high-heeled studded booties, wide masculine shirts, studded gloves.. I can say that this season rock style prevails. And if your style is romantic like mine, this can be bad news for you! :) But no worries, you can still wear rockISH pants and booties and combine them with romantic things. For example I chose black lace peplum shirt and flowery bag in bright colors which soften the look and make it more feminine. Also frills, bows and pearls can be a good idea!
