Hello my fashionfantastic divas! AS you know, it was the AMA's and there were some amazing outfits, and some outfits that needed sensoring! EEEEEK!! See my hits and misses below! HITS! Lady Gaga     She definitely earns the right to  be called a 'lady' and she looks elegant, yet edgy!WHITE is always RIGHT!! I love the juxtaposition of the slim jacket VS the wide leg trouser! Brandon Maxwell - you outdid yourself! ARIANA GRANDE     Isn't she so cute? Such a little dynamite! I love the cropped top, I just wish the trouser was a bit higher on the waist, it would been so much more sophisticated. GIGI HADID     She looked amazing in the lace Cavalli dress however, just a bit more cover on the'female bits' would have just added a bit more sophistication. Yes, she is young, and gorgeous, and a supermodel, and...and...and....but it would have been great to leave something up to the imagination...... JENNY MCCARTHY Simple, sleek...

Colour, colour, colour!!

Hello my gorgeousness! I absolutely LOVE colour! We often are told that black hides and covers, but did you know that vibrant colour actually brightens your mood? Well, colourblock will ALWAYS be on trend. SO if you are confident enough, show off your brights in your tops, and match it with a printed, FUN skirt! If you recall my previous blogs on skirts, I mentioned that this dirndle and flared skirt fits most frames. So why not wear the bright color in the top, match it with your court and accessories, and you have a happy, mix of sophistication and youthfulness. Keep the prints in the skirt soft and not too bold. Repetitive prints are the best! If however, you still do not feel confident enough to go that bold, bring the colourblocking into your shoes or handbags, or wear a contrast neckpiece! Still absolutely sophisticated with an adventurous edge! Viva Le Diva!

Dress over pant

Still unsure how to rock a dress over pant? Choose a soft fabric like a viscose or a silk blend so there is space to breathe! Choose a stunning print! Throw over a belt and matching clutch! In this case I used a studded belt  and clutch to add a bit of an edge to the soft top... ....and match all of this with a plain dark denim! Voila!
