I am seeing a LOT of this on the red carpet these days. The little black dress is slowly turning into the little blue dress. Weird! Love blue on just about everyone by myself, so I have to say, I hope this trend does not stick around. But when you do see blue work so well on someone big, like Heroe’s Star Kristen Bell, then it DOES make you look twice simply because this is a color not done well that often. Here is Kristen Bell dressed in a sweet flower trimmed number by Lela Rose that she paired with *sigh* Christian Louboutins when she presented the International Emmy’s in New York.
Like this look? Well, I stumbled across the real thing in the dress department at Bergdorf’s, so if you want to pick it up, yes, it is going to cost you.
Here is the same pretty belted crinkle chiffon dress with scoop neckline and ruffled strap detailing. This dress comes with an empire waist to flatter any figure and cute hidden side pockets. You are also going to love both the bubble hem and the straps that will drape down your waist to the back.
I will save you some dabloons on the shoes. No reason you can’t just grab a pair of Steve Madden’s to pair here. I mean, okay, I DO love the CL however, for the sake of foregoing a red sole, you get the same shoe in Steve Madden’s Lesson here. This shoe features a hidden platform, 4 “ heel, and pretty peep-toes as well.
The term nude is not just for the risqué anymore, nude on the face is big, big, big. And just think, when you are going all out with the holiday bling, the holiday dress, the holiday shoes, the holiday EVERYTHING, simplifying things on your face will not only make your routine a little bit easier, but nude lips will really polish off your look in a beautiful, elegant manner. Wearing your lips nude is not only chic, but fashion forward. It will immediately shift attention to your eyes so you can go big on the eyes without feeling like you are going overboard.
How do you do it? Lip liner is going to make all the difference here.
Tools – lip liner in a color only slightly darker than your lips, nude lipstick
Step 1 – Line your lips in a color like the one seen here. What you are doing here is creating a distinct boundary between your mouth and the rest of your face so that your nude lips don’t blend in with the rest of your face.
Step 2 – Apply your lipstick, as you normally would. Try this color from Prescriptives. This shade will work well on just about any skin tone.
Beauty Tip – Try dusting some translucent powder on your lips before applying lipstick. This will give your lipstick a little more staying powder, and lessen the chances of any feathering or bleeding.
I received this question from a reader, ‘Can I wear knee high boots with a little black dress?’ GREAT question! What you pair your little black dress with will make ALL the difference in the world in terms of what statement you are making with your outfit. To give complete justice to this answer, I typically need more information. Tell me more about the dress…Are we talking sleeveless? Halter? Long or short sleeved? What kind of neckline are we working with, and what sort of function are we talking here? Work? Cocktail party? Night with the girls? Either way, the answer is yes to all of these. You most definitely can! Let’s take this very simple
Pleated Tunic Dress
from Rampage and see what we can do with it!
Here you are working with a simple LBD that you can either dress up or down. It features very pretty capped sleeves in this year’s big tunic style. There is so much you can do with this versatile piece! And the answer of course is a resounding YES. Please do go with knee high boots with a number like this, you will elongate your legs, and winterize this piece in a heartbeat. The only question here is, are you going with flat boots or boots with heels? This depends on your occasion. Here you are looking at an affordable pair of BCBGirls Knee Highs that are perfect for any occasion. From the high shaft to the sexy pointed toe, the Cassidy from BCBGirls is a show-stopper. This BCBGirls Women’s Cassidy Knee High Boot
has a slim, leg-flattering silhouette, comfortable heel height and an inside zip for a secure fit. Its versatility makes it easy to pair with a variety of cooler-weather styles, and its sassy, no-nonsense vibe is equally at home at the office or on city streets.
Or you can take the look slightly more casual with a flat boot like these Biviel Women’s BV1020 Knee-High Buckle Boot
. Whatever you wear, this substantial leather boot is seriously appealing footwear. A buckle at the ankle and low rise lug sole lend a terrific profile, while shaft goring and a full side zipper make for a comfy fit and tug-free dressing. And, when you are going with a little black dress, comfortable and simplicity is really what you’re after isn’t it!
FASHION DON’T: When you are pairing knee-highs with skirts or dresses, watch the hemline and the length of the boot. You WILL need to leave some body showing, and if that is only your knees, that’s fine. Anything less than that is going to give you the opposite of a silhouette look, your pieces are going to look very choppy together. Pairing your boots and dress with some black tights will give you a pretty, sleek line no matter how short your hemline is, so don’t be afraid to go up with the hem when you are wearing knee highs. This is the sex appeal of a knee high boot. Even if you aren’t showing much, make sure, you ARE showing enough. Have fun!
