Dresses for Pearshapes

Image
I recently had a request to blog about dresses for pearshapes. The biggest myth is that a pearshape should wear oversized tops and cardigans.........eeeeeeeek!! You have the most popular female shape in the world hun!! Why would you hide that 'All Woman, Divalicous, Godgiven frame of yours??' Below are some of my favourites for you!! Fit and Flare Yes - Marilyn Monroe did it...so why can't you??? I especially love these ones because it has the pleats which adds some fullness to the bust and the flare hides the hip, but still gives you gorgeous femininity! Another variation of this style is the one above with the triangular contrast insets. It boadens the shoulders and shows off your slim waist. Beware however, if you have a fuller waist of course! Make sure that you wear a length that is right for you - this one would have been perfect, just above - or below the knee! Don't be afraid of a chinced waist and some pleating on the waitline! This will cover th...

The Oscar's!!!

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior. White interest fabrics are the hottest thing this season, but what do you think of the style? I'm sure by now you know she tripped on the stairs, so I think she might have slightly overdone the volume! Jennifer Aniston is sporting one of the hottest colours this seaon - Yes, the fiery shades of orange are back! I love how her the A-line creates a beautiful length to this petite fashionista! Would you believe the delicate embroidery on this dress is not leaves, but dragonflies? Amanda you look elegant and sophisticated. Love the detail. Remember ladies - if you have lots of beautiful embroidery detail, you don't need to overstyle. Keep it simple! Kudos! Charlize looks elegant in this peplum corset with embellishment. I love that she understands her shape and adds curves on the hip area and sophisticated elegance to a simple style. Beautiful! I believe Halle redeemed herself after the Guild awards! She looks amazing in this ...

Tina Fey is the 'Vision'of Vintage beauty. She looked amazing in this sweetheart neckline!!! I also like the bit of 'black on black' detail on the bust! Love the 'Pin-up' girl hair do!! 10 out of 10 for effortles glam!! Leah Michelle - Colour is ALWAYS a winner for me! I an not a fan of this type of tier in an evening dress,(reminds me of those cotton-linen summer tiered dresses) but this dame looks great though! Mamma Mia!!! Love the styling!! Amanda is rocking a mermaid style dress with a waterfall hem. I'm concerned about the colour on her skintone and with her hair.......The picture on the left washes her complection a bit. What are your views? Now this is a 'WOW'moment for me. Juliana - I love your assymetric ruffles. Love the sleeve, the cowl, the mermaid hem.  This dress seems to accuentuate her small frame in all the right places. There is so much happening on this dress in terms of styling, but it is very subtle and absolutely g...

Golden Globe Favourites

J-Lo - One word - FABULOUS!!!!!! This dress creates the illusion of a sheer 'body-glove' but is actually lined with a nude undergarment. She understands her shape so well, and carries this dress tastefully. Love the nude shoes too! Black - Another favorite was Kate Hudson in this Alexander McQueen ! This vintage inspired dress fits like a glove. It  is the embodiment of grown up glam! Kudos Katy!!! Nicole - *sigh* - you are always graceful, always beautiful, but this time I am not loving the dress at all. Even if you skipped the sheer waist and had a plain dress with the embellished top and rather had a fab exit (back) detail, you would have stolen the show. Just having that bod makes you fab already!!! No comment on the rest - the trims are just a bit too much................... Vintage Inspired - Taylor -  This dress looks a wee bit too mature for you. The combination of the color VS the 90's 'look' I don't feel works for you. Beautiful dre...

True Beauty

I am so pleased at the statement that beauty is Ín the eye of the beholder'. I mean  - every one has his or her own perception of what beautiful is. However, in most cases you will find that beauty is indeed an overflow from what is inside the heart. If it was otherwise - we'd all be in trouble by the age of 80!!! A beautiful woman carries herself with confidence, clothes herself with valour and accesorises with a smile. The latter being the most beautiful of all - the smile. So next time you've ever thought or felt  otherwise (or anyone said so)  - put on that happy smile and tell them all to 'SSH and  .....'BEHOLD'!
