Five Ways To Accessorise A Little Black Dress
November 1, 2010 by Ceri ·
The little black dress or LDB as it is otherwise known is the most versatile piece of clothing in any ladies wardrobe. It can be worn as a simple classic day dress or with the addition of a few strategic accessories turned into a Going Out Dress for an evening out. With so many opportunities to wear your little black dress it is well worth investing in a high quality piece. Another great benefit of the classic black dress is that it never goes out of fashion. Choose a classic style which will always look amazing and flatters your figure. Black is also a really slimming colour so your LBD is perhaps the best way to hide that Christmas bulge caused by a little over indulgence.
The Perfect Little Black Dress
We choose this 50′s grosgrain Little Black dress by Oasis because it is the perfect combination of modern and retro. We also love the grosgrain texture on it. The flared skirt also adds a little glamour which can work for both day time and evening.
For the office
Cardigan by Great Plains At Coggles
A pair of black opaque tights and mid height heels will easily transform this into a day dress or work outfit. if you have air conditioning in your office you can also add a neat cardigan in a bright colour or a short black tailored jacket. A business like hand bag that is large enough to carry everything that you need for the day will complete the look.
For lunch with friends
Animal Print Snood – Miss Selfridge
You can really brighten up your LBD with some coloured tights and a bright scarf or snood for a fun outfit for lunch out with the girls. Add some on trend wedge shoes or boots and you have a look that is bound to get you compliments from your friends.
For a lazy weekend
Elizabeth Lau Lottie Red and Cream Cardigan At Coggles
You can even wear your LBD for a stylish but relaxed outfit on the weekend. Try wearing it with some cute knee high socks and tennis shoes for a fun contrast between smart and casual. A patterned knitted cardigan will complete the look and of course keep you warm.
For dinner with the man of your dreams
Elaborate Metal Draped Collar – Wallis
This is not an occasion when you want to do things by halves. Go for full on glamour with a retro style up do for your hair and some very sparkly jewellery. Add the finishing touches with a great pair of heels and a clutch bag.
For a night on the town
Black Elbow Length Evening Gloves by Debut at Debenhams
If you want to look your best, use a trick used by stylists to the stars. What do you like best about your body and which part of your body do you want to draw attention to. Choose an amazing statement accessory to high light this area. How about some red heels to draw attention to your legs or a collar necklace to draw attention to your neck. You could add a pair of long gloves for some added glamour.

exchanging clothes is the swish thing to do?
March 12, 2009 by Womens fashion Team ·
Apparently, the newest craze to hit towns across the UK is “swishing”.
Swishing is essentially a swap shop for stylish women’s clothes that have been bought but not used, in a fun, party type environment which allows women to socialise with each other at the same time.
I’m sure every one at some point has bought an item of clothing which sits in the wardrobe, never been worn collecting dust. Well Swishing gives you the opportunity to swap 4-5 stylish items of clothing that you may not want with 4-5 items of stylish clothing that other people may not require.
Resulting in a cheap way to get some fashionable clothing and be environmentally aware.
The rules are that every lady must bring 5 items of clothes or accessories that she feels proud to hand on.
The initiative is being hailed as an easy and fun way to get a bargain wardrobe, whilst at the same time being kind to the planet and environmentally friendly.
Women up and down the UK are sorting through their wardrobes looking for dresses, shoes, skirts jeans,accessories, coats, in fact almost any type of apparel they can lay their hands on in the hope they can swap them for a trendy item of clothing that they’ll be proud to wear.
Traid who are the charity specialising in recycled textiles claim that a staggering 900,000 tonnes of clothing and shoes are discarded and thrown away each year in the UK, most of it of good condition, however on 200,000 tonnes are recycled.
We wonder whether anybody has been to one of these swishing events, we’re intrigued. Please tell us of your Swishing experience below, and we’ll feature it on this site.
