What's Hot, New & Trending on the Fashion Scene. Plus tips for fabulous fashion for women over 40!
Recently while doing research for another Fashion post I came across these gorgeous, beaded dresses, by one of my favourite designers, Elie Saab. This beautiful range of couture gowns is reminiscent of the sherbet sweets of yester-year. Stunning pastel shades, sleek flowing lines, complimented beautifully by dreamy sheer fabrics, creating an overall look of romantic elegance.
This Is My Favourite!

Love this look : Cameron Diaz, in Dior - pure elegance!
I am sure all the glamorous fashionista’s out there are getting their outfits ready for the J & B Met tomorrow! Very often the thought is to go over the top and be flashy but this can translate as trashy. There is a great deal to be said for simple sophistication!

I love Essie® Nail Polish; in fact it is the only nail polish I use. There are so many reasons why – one being the amazing colours that they bring out each season and the fact that their polish actually lasts! It does not chip and if you apply their “to dry for” top coat it will last for weeks – as a busy mom that’s important!
I love nothing better than showing off my perfectly manicured toes – especially in summer in a pair of pretty sandals!
I have selected my four favourite Essie shades for summer to share with you: Coat Azure, Boat House, Fondola Gondola and Jam n’ Jelly – did I mention the really fun, quirky names of their polishes! Whilst brights and neon colours are very popular this season, pastels also make their appearance. Blue polish is definitely a colour that is trending this season, which can be fun when worn in contrast with bright pink clothing or accessories.

[quote style=”1″]I have a bit of a pink obsession, combine this with my shoe fetish and I was in heaven when I happened upon these rather delish photographs of “pink” shoes! For me the colour pink invokes feelings of femininity, mixed with a girlish charm. I personally do not own a pair of pink shoes but feel the need for a bit of “pink” retail therapy coming up![/quote]
