This model is one of the many from the new shoe line by Vivienne Westwood. They have the same shape, but come in different colours, from gold, silver to purple and baby pink and with different details, like bows or hearts. The French girls have chosen this particular emerald colour, which is bold enough to stand out and goes well with black or other bright colours.

Looking for top fashion items tonight, I couldn't help noticing the polarity of items Germans (both girls and guys) have chosen. In both cases, on the top of the list, these pictures were featured next to each other, creating the most interesting juxtaposition of different styles...the feminine thong vs. the guitar shaped backpack and the men's quite cool sports shoe by Hugo Boss against this retro necklace (don't get me wrong, all these items are cool, I'm just discussing styles differences)

The Right Jeans

Jeans are something that would always be IN, no matter the season. This is why we need to learn which jeans flatter better our body type. I know I have said this many times but ladies remember many crazy things can be in style BUT if it does not fit you it is just not for you.

There are 4 basic body shapes,
Pear Shape – Long neck, narrow shoulders, small bust, defined waist, curvy hips, full thighs

Straight Figure – Thin arms and legs, flat stomach, boyish figure, no curves

Hourglass Figure – Hips and bust are equal size, narrow waist, full bust, shapely legs

Inverted Triangle Shape – Broader shoulders, full bust, narrow hips, undefined waist, flat rear end

After you find your body type you should look for this type of jeans;

Pear Shape-
The is ideal cut for this shape is Boot cut because it balance the proportion of the curves of the body. Also try to find something with a dark wash. Other options that could work for this body type are the Flare cut, Wide leg, and the boyfriend cut.

Straight Figure-
Super skin and slim fit work great! Also something with ankle length and low rise could be another option . If you want to add some curve Flare cut jeans could give you that

Hourglass Figure-
Almost everything works for this body type! Boot cut, Super Skinny, Slim, and boy friend cut. Try to get a low rise cut in the front and a higher cut in the back.

Inverted Triangle Shape –
Boot cut or straight cut are the best. Other good options are the slim fit and the boyfriend cut. Try to get jean that are made more of a stretch materials.

**Also a great tip for petite ladies are the straight leg jeans**

Classic gingham pocket square by J.Crew

Interesting top item choice in Russian fashionistas. Seems like the girls go aggressively pop up west seduced by graphic symbolism of the '60's, while guys prefer soft Holywood 40's, which in a way connects the Russian tradition of well dressed wealthy pre-comunist era gentlemen.

Loving right now: Over the shoulder bag

Best of all extremely stylish

( my favorite is the chain strap style )

Essentials

While a fan of Project Runway, I am also a HUGE fan of Tim Gunn. To me, he is definitely the style guru. Tim Gunn created “The Ten Essential Wardrobe Elements”. These are mostly classic pieces which you can build your wardrobe by.The following is the shopping list of Tim Gunn’s 10 essential items, with helpful hints from this article’s author.

1. Basic Black Dress - The basic black dress has been around for a long time. It is often called the “Little Black Dress”, and it’s true that shorter skirts on the basic black dress, when they hit you in the right place, can be more flattering than a long black dress.
2. Trench Coat - The trench coat is one of the pieces that is both classic and currently a hot fashion item. Most any store sells this piece now. It is great for fall and you can pick it up in a wide range of lengths.
3. Dress Pants - Although it doesn’t say black, this is probably what you want to look for. Black is flattering on all figures and goes with everything.
4. Classic Shirt - The white shirt is a definite classic. But it can also come in many different styles to make it look trendy and not dated or like a man’s piece of clothing. Find one that accentuates your best attributes and minimizes trouble spots. For example, if you have wide shoulders, stay away from large collars.
5. Jeans - Everyone has a pair of jeans, but does everyone have a pair of jeans that make them look great? The wider leg, low-rise jean style has been popular (and still is) but a narrower leg is coming back along with a higher waist, which eliminates the unflattering “muffin top” look.
6. Any Occasion Top - Find something you look great in that can look respectable under a jacket but bring on the fun after hours.
7. Skirt - If you need dress pants then you also need a skirt. A skirt is womanly and can be flirty or businesslike. Nowadays women do not wear many skirts or dresses, which makes a lot of them fall into a rut of dressing sloppily or like men. See number 8.
8. Day Dress – Women also are not wearing as many dresses anymore. It was certainly liberating to go from the ’50s when women wore dresses every day to wearing more practical pants for gardening, exercising, and so forth. But the dress does not have to be abandoned altogether. They can be very flattering, and there is nothing wrong with “dressing up” for daytime.
9. Jacket - A jacket does not have to be masculine. Find one with a proper, fitted shape. Women’s jackets should follow the silhouette of a woman’s body and accent the hourglass curve at her waist. It is also a perfect piece to put with the skirt or dress pants, and white shirt. Or make it casual with a pair of jeans.
10. Sweatsuit Alternative - As mentioned before, women wear fewer skirts and dresses these days. But some women have taken casual to the extreme and spend days on end in sweatsuits. It is possible to be casual and comfortable without looking like a slob. Find a comfortable material (that’s why this doesn’t say jeans again – denim is not as comfortable as a nice soft cotton) that you would want to wear every day. It could be khakis, cords, a cotton dress, or much more.
