How to Wear Your Wedge Boots in Different Looks

Flip your style in a matter of minutes. Developing style principles that are entirely your own may take years or even decades. Getting it right and being comfortable with it is still out of the story.

If that’s the case, you might ask: how can I be stylish all the time? Well, it’s simple. Wear a stylish piece and pair it up with different tops and bottoms to explore different vibes. To

Here’s what you’ll get when you wear your trendy wedge boots with…

Shorts. If you’re vertically challenged, this is the easiest way to give your legs an extra mile. Donning a bottom the rests about an inch or two below your bun creates an illusion of having that extra length. Also, instead of cutting the perceived line that you’ve created the added inches provided by your wedge boots enhances the line by adding height. Wearing this style combo can help your legs look longer and leaner in every way.

Leggings or skinnies worn with an oversize shirt. This look is perfect for chilly fall and pre-winter days. Aside from being a really comfortable outfit for many Hollywood stars like Kim Kardashian, this laid-back look can easily bring out the girl next door in you. Add up a scarf, a blazer or a jacket to bring this look up a notch. If you prefer accessories over additional pieces of clothing, pile on a couple of bracelets or wear a statement necklace to make this look more fashion forward.

Dresses. It took me a while before joining the fans of this outfit combo. I used to look at boots in a conservative way like they should just be worn with pants like an equestrienne. Well, it’s 2012! Style conventions are changing and they are becoming more and more edgy by the day. Pairing a dress with wedge boots is perfect a perfect spring or summer outfit. Put on some tights and throw on a cardigan to get that cute school girl look at fall.

Short or mini skirt. Here is another unexpected match. Though it appears to be an unlikely pair, I think that is what exactly makes it appealing to many style stars that walk this fashionable planet. Make sure though to get the right length and cut that will help show off your legs.

Relationship MENual: Avoid being Kristen Stewart

Many were caught off guard when the news about Kristen Stewarts’ infidelity broke in the news - Robert Pattinson was actually one of them.

Nobody expected the timid (and seemingly emotionless) Stewart to commit such a crime of passion. A Hollywood relationship that’s as open and as public as theirs is not really the best type to catch the gossip wildfire especially with the last installment of their blockbuster movie Breaking Dawn hitting the theaters soon. It makes me (and probably even you) smack anyone who’s responsible for this fiasco with my beloved pair of Bamboo Shoes.

With this hullabaloo tagging in the couple’s tail, everyone can’t help but wonder how this would affect their million dollar movie and respective careers. Pattinson did get the better part out of this. Fans sympathized with this cool dude and marveled at the mystery of how someone would actually dare cheat on this beautiful (and sparkling) creature.

This set the alarm hauling in the men's community. This incident made them more aware that their girlfriends’ are indeed from Venus. Women do certainly have a different set of behavior and thinks different. Now, men all over the world realized it takes more than good looks and a hefty sum of money to suit the varying appetite of girls when it comes to relationships.

To further open men’s mind about women, I listed down some tips on how to please (and hopefully keep) your lady:

Never stop her from cheating
Stopping her from doing things that tickle her fantasy can just intensify the curiosity. Instead, create an environment that encourages fidelity. Allow her to freely explore without imposing a feeling of restraint. Pushing her to stop would only bring her further away from you. Let go – this will make her realize why she chooses to stay in the first place.

Never stop being her boyfriend
Make every minute you spend together count. But stop counting the minutes you spend with her – just be there and enjoy the moment. Though time has the power to make the glowing promise of young love fade, you certainly know how to keep your girlfriend’s desire flaming. Use this to your advantage. Remember that to be her last, you must always make her feel that she’s first.

Never stop loving yourself
Men and women are not that all different. That is, both tend to let go of their personal grooming once they’ve entered a relationship – which is so wrong. Continue to make yourself desirable and she’ll want nobody else but you. Adding value to yourself and your looks can challenge her. And ever smart woman loves this. Loving yourself doesn't only enhance your relationship but it also attracts the right kind of people to join your company.

Relationships are rather complicated. One can never accurately tell what his or her partner is thinking. But you can (and should) control yourself. Keep in mind that nobody failed from being true to themselves.

Sahara Davenport: How to Celebrate Your Body’s Curves

Breaking News: Sahara Davenport passed away at the age of 27. Statements are yet to be issued as to the cause of her death.

Antoine Ashley, Sahara’s real name, gained celebrity status when she joined the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She started her drag career in Dallas as she attended Southern Methodist University.

To celebrate the life and talent of this young entertainer, I’m sharing with you a couple of tips on how to dress confidently like she did in this two part series. Everyone, despite their gender and sexual preferences, has the right to feel good about themselves. You deserve to strut around the streets of New York City as you look like a supermodel in your fashion-forward ankle boots.

Let’s get started with Curve Flaunting Step 1: Find out your body type. The key to dressing well is flattery. And the best way to do this is to accentuate your assets while shedding less light on the less stellar areas of your body. One great way to go about this is to follow the lead of fashion bibles that preach about the body type. SheKnows.com, a one-stop fashion and lifestyle online resource, has 5 classifications for a woman’s body shape.

No matter how different stylist and fashion gurus call them, ladies will fall under one of these categories

• The Apple body shape is generally characterized by having a larger upper body. Since they have wonderful leg shapes that they can count on, ladies with this type of body should work on highlighting this asset. They can also hit an A for fashion when they work on elongates their torso and hushing the attention towards their midsection.
• Having a Pear shaped body may go the other way as the lower body takes on the spotlight. This shape generally gives women a defined waist as well as a full hip and butt. Women with this body type should bring attention to their shoulders, torso and a flat stomach. Bring people to notice your upper extremities by accentuating it.
• Proportion is the keyword for an Hourglass body type. Ladies having this shape have the upper and lower body about the same size while the waist remains narrow giving them all the curves in the world. The biggest challenge for flaunting an hourglass body type is to find the middle ground between showing off too much skin and being covered in layers of fabric that make for a baggy clothing.
• A Rectangle is well, like a rectangle. With this body shape, the shoulders, hips and waist usually have the same width which allows more room for freedom. Ladies have nothing much to shadow with this body shape. They can freely dress as they please but drawing attention to their arms and legs would do wonders.
• And lastly, a Wedge body shape works from top to bottom. Ladies under this category often have broad shoulders, smaller waist but tinier hips. Just like the Apple shape, they can bank on their legs. Their boyish frame can be toned by highlighting the lower half of the body.

We’re done with the first step and have a few more to go.

Sahara Davenport has taught us a thing or two in being confident in our skin. My sincere condolences to her family and partner Manila Luzon who also walked the catwalk of RuPaul’s Drag Race seasons ago. Rest in peace, Sahara.

Stay tuned for more tips on how to flaunt your curves and feel great about.

Rachel Schwartzmann: Keep it Simply Outstanding

Ankle boots are great for making statements. But what if you want to dress down just this one time? Rachel, a fashion blogger and true style star, teaches us how to rock the Fashion Week in an all white ensemble and still stand out.

To know a little more about her, Rachel Schwartzmann is a true California babe. Though she’s been based in the Big Apple for the past 9 years, she never fails to look back at the places that played important roles in her life like San Francisco and Texas.

Currently, Rachel majors in Advertising and Marketing Communications at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She juggles her responsibilities in school with being a Fashion Insider for the LookLab website.

Fashion writing is also one of her passions. Rachel contributes regularly to The Huffington Post and updates her blogs which are The Style Line and Le Style Child. With over 300 fans and 4000 plus karma in Lookbook.nu, Rachel is certainly enjoying her own way in fashion.

Here are a couple of tips to stand out in the busy streets of New York and crowded world of fashion:

1. Less is more: Do away with the clutter to stand-out.

In the last season, we’ve seen the rise of not only Lady Gaga but also everything that’s reminiscent of her in the fashion industry. Though all things big, chunky, flamboyant and Gaga are oh so exciting, it’s nice to go back to basics once in awhile to let your hair down.

What can say this more that going for an all white outfit like what Rachel wore to the first day of the NYFW. Her soft dress shirt from H&M looked pretty basic but dreamy mainly because of the light fabric used. Topping it off with a white lace coat from Zara continued to give off the relaxed and calm feel that her over all outfit is going for.

BONUS TIP: The best way to pull of pieces in the same color is to make sure that they’re made of different materials. In Rachel’s case, it’s lace and light cloth. Materials that complement or contrast one another will do just fine in making that bold statement.

2. Nothing to worry:

Wearing the right amount of accessories can pull you through. Rachel’s all white outfit could have turned drab easily if not for the pop of color from her accessories and bedazzled footwear. She was able to put in together a nice mix of cream, warm yellow, bright red and brown. All of these colors worked together and accentuated the dominant color in her outfit which is white.

3. Confidence is the key.

Making the cut above the rest is not for everyone. Only a few are able to break free from the scene and stand out – the chosen few who are able to carry themselves win in this battle. Donning on piles and piles of heavy cloth or make-up rarely does the trick. It is still the confidence that you exude from within that can make you look a million bucks even if you’re only wearing a jeans and shirt combo or even a plain white outfit like Rachel.

Don’t be afraid to let your hair down in a simple outfit. Flaunt your style with confidence and a little help from accessories and a bevy of textures. Fashion is not what you wear, but how you wear it.

Lady Gaga the Fashion Icon

Fashion Icon? A representation of simplicity and yet the class and elegance is highly visible, naive with a beautiful face and long silky legs to die for. 

Noticeable everywhere elegantly clad with her fashion jewelry, designer clothes and shoes, bags made by the famous names in the fashion industry, fully made up make-up, and lovely curves all at the right places.

Sometimes, we even idolized those with the very unusual fashion statement. Punk, Rock, Metal. But what we love is not just their style but the person behind that fashionable dress and all.

"For being different its easy, but for being unique its a complicated thing"

Remember the time when Lady Gaga attend an event wearing meat, yes, meat, fresh and raw, from head dress up to her shoes as if mocking the vegans. She even post for a magazine wearing the same theme, whew she's really something right.

“As you know I am the most judgement-free human being on the earth. If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and don’t stand up for our rights pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones.”

 "I didn't want to be just another bitch in a dress at an awards show,"

Now I wonder how does it feel wearing raw meat :) I bet, if there is going to be a wholesale womens shoes that would feature all Lady Gaga's things, there will be a lot, and i mean really large amount will be collected. I just hope by that time this meat dress is still as fresh as it is :) Kidding, heard some doctor's or whatever they call it who specializes in preserving meat already made something to make this clothes last.
