Wardrobe Essentials

 Adding any one of these versatile items into your closet will take your outfit to new heights of fabulousness. From a white tuxedo jacket to statement heels, scroll down to see the pieces you'll want to help you standout.
 
Bright Bag
A sleek, colorful purse will complement neutrals, brights, or pastels. Just don't match it with clothing in the exact same shade. (Go for versatility: This one converts to a clutch!)

White Tuxedo Jacket 
It stands out in a sea of traditionally neutral blazers (you've already got navy or black down). And unlike its more predictable cousins, a white jacket can do fancy (lightly tossed over the shoulders of an evening gown) as easily as it can go casual—with jeans and a T.

Vibrant Scarf
Instead of a necklace, try a soft loop of bright fabric to perk up a mundane outfit instantly. It's a fun and simple way to mix prints. Wrap it once or twice around your neck, letting both ends hang loose.

Studded Flats
If you have a glamorous event and your feet are begging for a break from stilettos, slip into some decorated flats like the ones shown here. This contrast of edgy and feminine suits cocktail dresses, of course, plus flirty skirts and dark trousers.

Polka-Dot Blouse
Punch up your office wear or faded denim with this snappy classic. Reveal a little (top it with a crewneck sweater so only your collar shows) or a lot—untucked and flowy over white jeans or a solid navy or gray skirt.

Embellished Coat
There's hardly an ensemble that can't be upgraded by the addition of this exciting spin on the traditional balmacaan—a silhouette that looks good on every figure. Pair it with capri pants, colored jeans, a striped mini, or even your favorite LBD.

Eye-Catching Heels 
Make your outfit interesting from the front and back. This vivid design allows you to color-block with clothing in everything from silver or white to cobalt, orange, or yellow.

Bold Cuff  Decorating your wrist with one of these clean, modern shapes elevates your total look. Make a splash with  short or ¾ sleeves—or clasp it over a long sleeve blouse. Look of the Day photo | Bold Cuff 

Statement Necklace
Not as over-the-top this incarnation combines darkened metal with glitz and a bit of color for results that don't seem wildly out of place during office hours. Look of the Day photo | Statement Necklace

Dresses every woman should own




The Sheath Dress
The sheath dress is a clean and classic style that can easily transition from work to a dinner date. The sleeker the tailoring, the sexier.

Style Shift

The A Line
The A-line lends a more feminine feel to dresses and fits most if not all body types.


 Blue Jeans
The Body con 
The body con dress, with its curve-hugging, 360 fit instantly makes this a sultry style. They make otherwise serious styles fun.

Graphic Groove


The Wrap Dress

 

The pleated Dress

The traditional pleated dress as we know it has been transformed. It’s all about punchy color and cool cuts.


Pleated Perfection


The Little Black Dress
The little black dress is the universal style staple, but working a not-so-basic selection into your wardrobe will really add that extra wow factor.This bandage dress is the perfect example.
Hot Thing
Maxi Dress
Maxi dresses are the perfect way to keep cute while being comfortable.


Flower Girl

The Little White Dress
The little white dress is the ultimate  staple. Even the simplest style,instantly gives  a lighter, more fresher feel than your traditional LBD.

 White Out
so there it is,
enjoy   ;-)

100 things ..........Nina Garcia

 I loved this book since the day i perused through it and its my fave among many more, i  had to break it down.


It's been billed as the ultimate guide to fashion chic  -  a new book charting the top 100 items a woman must have in her wardrobe. Written by Elle magazine's fashion director Nina Garcia, she gives her expert opinion on the pieces a woman must own to get her through every fashion trend and emergency. From the perfect-fitting pair of jeans to your signature perfume.

is for...


A nod to leopard print shows daring. Shoes, £430, Charlotte Olympia at Harvey Nichols
A nod to leopard print shows daring. Shoes.

A-LINE DRESS: The flared shape will always flatter. Accessorise with boots in winter and sandals in summer.
ANIMAL PRINT: True fashionistas are daring - show your wild side with animal prints in muted colours, either as accessories or a full outfit.
ANKLE BOOTS: These look great worn with skirts and shorts, or with skinny jeans tucked into them.
AVIATORS: The universally fashionable shades give instant cool factor.


B is for...

BALLET FLATS: Chic, timeless, elegant and comfortable. Try Chanel for high-end, or Gap for inexpensive.
BANGLES: For a bold look, wear big bands beneath your elbow. For glamour, wear an armload of thin, 18-carat gold ones.
BELTS: An under-appreciated accessory that makes you look slimmer and accentuates curves.
BIKINI: The key to wearing them is confidence. Keep them small and in one, solid colour to best flatter.
BLACKBERRY: The modern girl's weapon which lets her BBM all day while keeping herself in the know.
BLACK OPAQUE TIGHTS: These bring an edge to every outfit while making legs look slimmer and sleeker. The higher the denier the better.
BLAZER: Beat the boys by wearing them better than they ever can - either oversized or tight and shrunken.
BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN: Anything that looks as if it's been stolen out of your man's closet won't go out of style. Wear over a T-shirt and belt it.
BROOCHES: Be creative with strange designs and sizes pinned on in unexpected places - such as hats.

C is for...

CABLE-KNIT SWEATER:
Cosy, casual, yet unbelievably stylish. A white version will go with everything you own.
CAMEL COAT: A classic that looks elegant and expensive. The rich colour works well combined with black and white.
CAPE: Adds drama and hides flaws. Keep everything else in the outfit tight and tailored.
CASHMERE SWEATERS: Have as many as possible in as many styles and colours as possible, and invest in quality.
CHAMPAGNE: The drink of celebration, so always have a bottle ready and waiting - preferably Moet.
CHARM BRACELET: Build your own by collecting both new and vintage charms which remind you of your life experiences.
CLUTCH BAG: Add excitement with metallics, bright colours and jewels.
COCKTAIL RING: Make a statement  -  make them bold, adventurous and very large.
CONVERSE TRAINERS: The ultimate casual footwear. Team with jeans and a white T-shirt for downtown style.
COSMETICS BAG: A good-looking satin or velvet style can double up as a clutch bag.
COWBOY BOOTS: Acceptable with a cocktail dress but safer with Levis. Invest in a good pair, then beat them up a bit.
CUFF JEWELLERY: Forever on the runway, try wood for the bohemian look or platinum for uptown glitz.


Cable knit cardigan, £120, French Connection
Dark Blue denim Jacket ?49 from Zara 0207 518 1550


Fashion classics: The cable-knit sweater, and right, a denim jacket

D is for...


DENIM JACKET: Be extreme - wear it a size too small, in either really dark or really worn fabric. But never team with more denim.
DIAMOND STUDS: Best when large and real - they work with most outfits.
DRIVING SHOES: Like a fashionable loafer, but with rubber gussets on the sole. Perfect for weekends.


E is for...

Dress

An evening gown like this sequinned Roberto Cavalli number will never let you down
ESPADRILLES: Either flat or heeled, these rope and cloth creations are the ultimate summer shoe.
EVENING GOWN: Buy whenever you see one you like  -  it's wise to have one waiting in the wings.
EXOTIC SKIN BAG: For instant luxe. The three skins which will never lose appeal are crocodile, ostrich and snakeskin.

F is for...

FISHNETS: Super-sexy, but only when done right: i.e. fine mesh worn with sophisticated clothes.
FRYE 'HARNESS' BOOTS: These big clunky boots assert strength and power. Tuck jeans into an old, beaten-up pair.
FUR: Whether fake or real, fur adds the glam factor. There is nothing it doesn't play well with. 

......Its a must read....
