Fashion Designer Tip of the Day, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 31 August 2006 by Angelique


Sarah Jessica Parker is a fashion icon in her own right. Here she is looking incredibly cool and casual in this grey summer dress. Unfortunately, summer is almost over and shops everywhere are slowly making the transition into fall fashion.

Yu Clothing has come out with a perfect summer-to-autumn dress in the similar style to Sarah Jessica’s. This Shirred Tank Dress is available from leFashionista for $124. If it’s getting chilly out, throw a cropped denim jacket over the top for the perfect autumn walk in the park dress, or show off the stylish cross over straps if it’s sunny.

Omiru Poll Results: Colorful Handbags are In!
Blog: Omiru: Style for All

A full 76% are all for these brightly colored bags, while only 5% consider them Out. The remaining 19%, however, believe they’re On the Way Out.

Colorful handbags are a great way to punch up your outfit, especially in a season so enamored of neutrals. We can’t think of a better way to add oomph to a fresh white summery dress, or even the standard jeans and tee combo. But make sure to pick a color you love…and one that makes a Statement.

Touché! Swashbuckling Styles for Fall

The skull scarf was THE Hollywood It girl accesory of the summer…if you managed to snag one (I coveted the Alexander McQueen ones…) then you can carry this look into fall with some chic swashbuckling styles. From flat fencing boots and naval trenches to skuls, skulls and more skulls, this is a fun trend to play with. If you find yourself going overboard with fashionable booty, don’t worry…pull them all together for a couture Halloween ensemble. Designer Fashion Addicts

Fall 2006 Must-Have: Sweater Dress

Ok, so unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple months, you already know that the sweater dress is a huge must-have for fall 2006. But, I wanted to point out to you guys out there who budget for clothes wisely, make an investment in one great sweater dress that you’ll get lots of use out of. This is definitely one item worth splurging on this fall, so I suggest you save up your moolah for a high-quality sweater dress (unless you’re just lucky enough to find a high-quality dress on sale).

Sexy Winter Boots, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 30 August 2006 by Angelique

Versace have come out with the sexiest boots this winter. Most over the knee boots are tacky and look, for a lack of a better word, rather promiscuous. But this pair of calf leather boots are sexy, elegant and chic all at the same time. It has a side zipper with a leather pull with silver metal tips wrapped around the ankle. Available from eLuxury for $1,570.

Lindsay Lohan and Maria Menuous look amazing in this voluminous bubble dress. Volume is still big this upcoming season so don’t throw away those tulip skirts yet. Nipped at the waist for a feminine figure is the best way to do volume. No one wants to look like a giant ball.

If you’re looking for a smart casual bubble dress, then look no further than this Satin Bubble Dress by Prospect 44 available from leFashionista for $150.

Emmy Awards 2006 Red Carpet Misses, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 29 August 2006 by Angelique

Jennifer Love Hewitt has a lovely curvaceous figure. But there’s no need to dress up as a disco ball and unncessarily widen the hips in the process. Shame though as her makeup and hair are looking gorge. The clutch isn’t bad either and wristlets are definitely in this upcoming season. Shame about the dress.

I was disappointed in Eva Longoria. She usually looks stunning in long flowing evening gowns. But for this award ceremony, she decdied to not look like the hot goddess she is and instead opted to look like a frumpy marshmallow. Not a good look. If you’ve got it, flaunt it!


However, you don’t wanna flaunt it like a skank as Vanessa Minillo successfully did. There is figure hugging and then there is spilling over. Vanessa fit snugly into this electric blue number but the embroidery and the flamboyant colours did not elegant make.

Let’s for a moment ignore the travesty of a dress by Vera Wang and focus on her clutch by Bottega Veneta. The minute I saw it in the BV lookbook, I knew I had to have it. Of course, there’s no way I could actually afford it but a girl can dream hey?

They come in a variety of different designs. The most popular and the most affordable being the clutch in their signature weave and butterfly knot. But the most gorgeous of them all has to be the one Sandra is carrying - the Pepe Antique Sterling Silver clutch with Enameled Knot.
