2011 Sneak Peak, fashion tips, Get the Goods

As we begin a new decade, we’re very excited to see what’s next in the world of fashion and beauty. So we asked our resident wardrobe stylist Katie to give us the scoop on what to expect this year. From the bold colours, to the fun tassels, we can’t wait to see what will unfold in 2011!

Bold Colours

Eye catching hues are the statement piece to have. Whether it is an accessory or a top, it will be sure to liven up your look.
Styling Tip: Don’t be afraid combine different hues – remember no pigment is off limits this season. Try wearing a bold shirt with another bold colour top but be sure to keep in mind the colour wheel. If this doesn’t seem like something you would wear, try a bold colour shirt with a neutral bottom.

Kitten Heel

More comfortable yes, but not always enticing. This may not be your go-to heel for a night out but they sure could be a go-to for the office or a day of shopping. This way you can be trendy and comfortable and we all know that doesn’t always happen in fashion!
Styling Tip: Add a pair of socks to your heels and you’ll have people noticing your every stride. Remember, kitten heels come in a variety of different shapes, colours, and textures so be sure to find the one that suits you best.

Seventies:

From geometric patterns, flowery patterns, snake skin and mixed prints to bell bottoms, bow –blouses, roll neck sweaters and jumpsuits, 2011 is the new 70’s.
Styling Tip: Pick and choose the styles you loved from 70’s … remembering not all were trendy. Try finding the right sized wide leg and tuck in a casual top of your choice. Too get the full look, add a belt. This look is easy to dress up and dress down depending on your mood!

Tassels

Adding a little extra detail can change the whole look and feel to your garment. We will see these not only on bags but on shoes, dresses, belts and much more.
Styling Tip: Hit your next outing wearing a stand out tassel dress – your motion is sure to be eye catching. Or if this seems too out there for you try something a little less loud like a simple belt or pair of earrings.

Biker-Punk Chic

It looks like leather and studs are here to stay but with a luxe step up. This season mixing pretty girl with a bit of punk is the look you want to achieve.
Styling Tip: Dig out your biker jacket but this time try wearing it over a dress or even a collared shirt. Adding one or two pieces of biker- punk inspired garments will sure put you head of  for this season.
