Jan 2008: Fashion Trend Alert!

Put your foot down for fashion-forward style. It's a new take on the Bootie or Ankle Boot Trend that made a huge impact on the Fall fashion scene. So what do you think???!! Do you like the new Stocking Ankle Boots or think it won't catch on??!!.......... let me know in your comments!

Fashionista: Fashion Tips for 2008

It's the new year and, if you're sick of your old style, it may be time to update your look.
January is the perfect time to revamp everything from your makeup to your shoes, which is why all the fashion magazines are brimming with ideas, strategies and advice.

1. Bust out of your hair and makeup rut - it's an easy way to make a fast change.

Cropped cuts, bright eyeshadow, big-time blush, sun-kissed skin, long and loose hair, red or pink lips and dramatic eyes are some of the season's best looks.

2. Add these three hot items to your wardrobe: sleeveless jackets, which provide "a more structured look with less fuss"; peep-toe booties, which bring "a small dose of sexiness" and "the perfect amount of playfulness"; and fluid trousers, since "looser is in this season."Keep your schoolboy blazers, the oxford lace-up shoes and skinny slacks, but toss your ponchos, over-the-knee boots and leggings

3. Incorporate metallics into your clothing, shoes, and accessories. A soft clutch, a tiered necklace and shapely wedges share a glow that injects basic black or denim looks with a dose of pure alchemy."And if you're going for cutting edge, choose rose gold, "the newest metallic to be mined for glam day or night pieces."

4. Discover a brave new nail colour. To find a dark, arresting polish, choose a hue that complements your skin tone. The pros say dark complexions look best in rich burgundies with gold undertones and in deep purples. Women with medium or olive skin wear deep berries and reds well. The roaring '20s are inspiring fashion designers these days. So the next time you have a big night out, be bold and wear a flapper gown.

5. Experiment with your shoe collection. Stilettos aren't the only sexy shoe this year. "If you're afraid of a six-inch heel, go for platform shoes!". They're very sexy and much easier to live with."

6.Consider denim in a colour other than blue. Start with jeans in a washed-out shade. Then throw on a not-so-girly jacket, but make sure your top isn't also bright. To nail the look, make sure your coloured jeans aren't too tight and wear neutral shoes - black is too heavy for this look.

7. Thinking of chopping your hair? A choppy boy crop works well on hair that's fine and straight, a piecey pixie cut suits wavy hair, while a bob with swing is great for thick or straightened hair.

8. Make eyeliner your beauty staple.

9. Sheer clothing is a strong trend for spring. Your must-have sheer item for spring is a top, play peekaboo with a see-through skirt. Veiled layers give you diaphanous coverage without the big reveal.

10. Get clashing. So mix your florals with your stripes, the paisley with the polka dots. Anything goes this spring, and the bolder, the better.

Ankle Boots/ Booties: Back from the 80’s these ankle length boots also known as booties are smoking Hot this season especially the mens wear inspired oxford-shoe type Booties. Booties can vary in length, from the super-short variety, which falls just under the ankle, to the longer version, which hits right above the ankle. Be sure to avoid showing flesh when wearing these boots (i.e. no minis) since the high cut of the shoe can make your legs shorter than they really are. Another way to wear the ankle boot is to pair them with tights or leggings which are the same color as the boots.

Animal Prints: Leopard spots, tiger, zebra stripes…..in short Animal prints draped over any style of shoe like stilettos, pumps, platforms and even booties are huge this season, so it’s time to go Wild! Be careful to pair your animal print shoes with subtle solid colors don’t overdo patterns and prints and make the focal point of your outfit the shoes….its a tough one to pull off so keep it simple and let the shoes do the talking!

Patent Leather: Love it or hate it….but you can’t deny that patent leather has made a huge statement in a lot of fashion trends lately and shoes are no exception to this! Pumps, stilettos, boots, flats, peep-toes……you name it and it’s available in Patent. This is a very versatile style and can be worn with just about anything to complete any look be it Office, party or evening wear.

Mary-Janes: The “Oh so school-girl” look is back with the ever so famous Mary-Jane style shoes! The grown up version of these shoes may come in the form of flats or chunky heels. Team these with a smart skirt or skinny jeans and your set to go!

Wedges: Thought this look was only for summer? Think again the wedge heel is on all this fall season styles including boots making them hard to miss!

Casual Flat Boots: ‘These boots were made for walking…..’ While ankle boots are creating a stir this season, it’s hard to resist the undeniable sexiness of a high boot. Flats are in but some of us –not so tall ones could use them with a small heel…like a wedge heel. Wear over skinny jeans if you’ve got long legs or just team them up with a flowy skirt or dress.

Ballerina Flats: Those comfy, feet- and back-saving flats are still going strong this season. They have been infused with a touch of glamour with the addition of ornate jewels and other shiny trimmings.
