Short, when it comes to hemlines, is a relative term. Valentino Garavani famously said that “an evening dress that reveals a woman’s ankles while walking is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.” Thankfully, the same is not true of cocktail dresses and a woman’s knees. This season’s short LBDs range from right at the knee to slightly above to as high as you dare.
Getting dressed up and going out can be such a process in the winter. You want to look chic, however, do not want to risk being cold. Actress Elizabeth Hurley solves this problem with a statement coat. A statement coat is a must-have when the frigid nights hit. There is no need to take it off at your final destination because it is the main focus of your look, leaving you warm and looking good.
The holidays are over and we’re about to settle into the long, dark stretch of winter doldrums. And despite the short days and painfully cold nights, now is the best time to dive headfirst into those sumptuous winter fabrics we’ve been saving for just this occasion. And if winter fabrics were a kingdom, then velvet would be queen.
Happy New Year! It’s that glorious time of year when you get to take advantage of deep discounts on those luxury items you have been eyeing since fall but would never consider paying full price. Well maybe you would have, but now you don’t have to! The prices I found on some of these must-haves might make you feel as though you are actually stealing them. I was shocked at what I found for at least 50% off. Even on sale make sure you buy something you actually love and will wear next season. No regrets OK?
Now that we’ve rung in the New Year in our party dresses, sparkly shoes and bright baubles, the reality is starting to set in that there is nothing left to celebrate and the deep throes of winter are upon us. We’ve still got another three months of cold weather to get through and even though this time of year can be gloomy, that doesn’t mean we can’t look fabulous as we trudge through the inclement weather. Thankfully, we haven’t seen much snow or sleet so far this winter, but it’s bound to make an appearance any day now and when it does, you need to be ready with your stylish snow boots!
