Dress Week: Red Dress!

Whether you are doing a red Christmas themed wedding, or it is just your favorite color, a red dress can really bring some flair into your wedding.  It is a unique way to bring out your personality, the modern woman today is beginning to steer away from the traditional wedding dress.

How To Choose Fashion Sunglasses That Managers Will


Andrea White




In search of the perfect must have fashion sunglasses, the most important thing to take into account how they will look on your face. When people go shopping for glasses, they usually try on every pair in the store, trying to find a pair that is flattering. But what if you can make your search for the perfect pair of Fashion Sunglasses hassle free?




Fashion SunglassesWell you can, all you need to do is determine your face shape and color and then you can determine what frame glasses shape and color is best for you. Choosing the perfect frame glasses is easy if you follow three basic steps that the Council has a vision of America, said in their Imagine yourself program. The three most important things to remember are: glasses frame should compliment your face shape, people need to demonstrate the best features on your face and frame size should be in scale with your face shape.




Review Face Shapes




There are seven basic silhouettes of a person and as soon as you determine where you fall under, you can choose the perfect pair of designer fashion sunglasses. Seven of the silhouettes of a diamond, round, oval, square, oblong, base-down triangle and the base to the triangle. It is important to know your face shape, because it will determine the type of select fashion sunglasses.




Fashion SunglassesRound: round face has curved lines with no angles, and the length and width have the same proportion. Look for sunglasses that are narrow enough to lengthen the face, such as rectangular fashion sunglasses.




Oval: oval face is considered not to be perfect form. Look for sunglasses that are in wide widest part of your face.




Base down triangle: This shape of the face is narrow at the forehead and a broad chin. Fashion sunglasses, which are wider form a better look at the man with the shape of this person.




Base-Up Triangle: This type of person more in the upper half of the face and narrow at the bottom of the face. If you have a face shape, you should choose a light frame or rimless sunglasses to deflect attention from the upper half of the face.




Area: This type of person has a strong jaw and wide forehead. Sunglass frames that are wider than the width will compliment this face shape.




Diamond: a man with the personality of the person has a narrow chin, with wider cheekbones. Sunglasses rimless or cat's eye look good on the shape of this person.




Fashion SunglassesOblong: this type of face shape more than in width and has a direct cheek. Try glasses frames that have the depth to add dimension to the structure of your face.




Skin color is also very important when buying Fashion Sunglasses. Skin tones are divided into two categories of cold or warm. Cool the person has blue or pink tinge and a warm person who has a yellow-golden hue. I f you have a Cool coloring select glasses frame, blue, black, brown, plum or purple. If you have warm coloring to choose peach, gold, copper, orange, yellow or white frames glasses Off mode.




Remember that you want to be completely satisfied with your purchase sunscreen because you will be one wears them every day, so you definitely want to score, as your choice. If you want to be completely satisfied with your purchase of fashion sunglasses to follow this guideline to help choose the best glasses frames that suit your face shape and coloring.

Glitter in my Eyes

So, I have this dress that I've purchased for one of my Christmas parties and I am having shoe issues. I've searched high and low, scouring the shelves of every shop, department store and online boutique and I can't find anything. How is this possible? I know I'm beyond fussy but it's getting ridiculous! Then, like a flash of shiny light, I spotted these beauties. Of course they're on my favourite online store Net-a-Porter (UK based) and of course they're Christian Louboutin and of course they're simply gorgeous. Of course they have a rather hefty price tag, but after all it's Christmas, and I'm hoping Santa makes a quick delivery of these to David Jones. In one of my moments I could easily be pursuaded!

Pink Sky at Night, Shepherds Delight

One colour we see popping up on maids all the time is pretty pale pink. Whether it be a true dusty pink, bright as fairy floss or a washed out, nearly white, pale pink it's a colour that many girls flock to when they're tying the knot. I fell in love with this pretty Stella McCartney dress on Net-A-Porter and thought what an ideal bridesmaid's dress it would make. The sheer netting at the top adds some edge to an otherwise classic, pretty dress with the pleating detail taking it from pretty to simply perfect. If you're wanting to glam it up a bit try pinning a brooch just underneath the bust pleat. How divine! Visit www.net-a-porter.com to buy online.

Here's some ideas as to how Style Guide bride's are using pale pink on their maids and flower girls. In all shapes, sizes and shades it will add a touch of romance to your day.


Kate Patterson & Dominic Etheridge's wedding featured in 'Paradise Found' in issue 12. I loved the waist pleats of Kate's bridesmaids dresses. A great detail that flatters almost any body shape. Maids dresses from Forever New, photography by Infinity Photography, bouquets by Trisara.


Tania Ohannessian & Simon Goubran's wedding featured in 'Love in the City' in issue 11. Mono-shoulder dresses are very popular at the moment and with a gorgeous shoulder detail like a bow they will certainly stand out.

Julia Galvan & Marc Johnstone's wedding featured in 'A Glamorous Event' slso in issue 11. We had so many enquiries from readers asking us where Julia got her simply gorgeous flower girl dresses from. It turns out Julia designed them herself and got them made in Singapore. I love the frilled hem!
