Outfit Post – How to wear a maxi dress

I usually shy away from maxi dresses because I struggle to find the right fit. As a petite woman, finding the right maxi dress to suit my body shape can be a struggle sometimes. When the opportunity came for me to pick a River Island dress to style, I decided to go outside my style comfort zone, and go for a maxi dress. I am a huge fan of River Island pieces, especially their jeans. They are all I wear. So I was sure I would find the right maxi dress to suit my shape. And I did. I found this stunning Beige Flute Sleeve Sequin Maxi Dress and it was the right fit!

Maxi dresses are not only great for eveningwear, but their versatile nature makes them a great go-to for daytime flair too. One dress holds the power to switch from date night, to the school run, to shopping or dinner. As an added bonus, it is almost impossible not to look exquisitely feminine in a maxi dress! Because this popular wardrobe item is so flexible, people are often confused about how to wear it. Where to start with accessorising? How to pair it with other clothing items? How to make it work in cold weather? If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, I’m here to help you rock that maxi-dress, no matter the time of day or year!

This stunning dress is simply beautiful. I love the fact that it is not body hugging. It is such a comfy piece to wear. The sequin embellishment is a beauty to behold. And so is the lace-up v neck and side split. The style of this maxi dress is great for my body shape and with heels, it is the perfect length too!  Styling this lovely dress was dead easy. The dress has the “wow” factor already, so it was best to let it do all the talking. Nothing else should compete with this sort of dress, so all accessories and jewellery wear kept at a minimum. I am so in love with this sequin dress. It is definitely a great party dress. I can see myself wearing this beauty to an event/party.

When it comes to styling maxi dresses, I think it works best when there is a waist-defining design to it. This is why this River Island maxi dress works great because the tie waist keeps the waist defined.

A Gift-Giving Guide for your Fashionista Friend

Looking for the perfect present to put a smile on the face of your fashionista friend? Keep on reading and we’ll list down some of the no-fail gift ideas that you might want to consider. These gifts are sure to elevate her sense of style and allow her to make a fashion statement.

 

Wristlet

For the times that she does not need to bring a bag, but she needs a place to keep her cash, cards, or phone, a wristlet is sure to come handy, which makes it a good gift idea. Not just any wristlet would do. Stay away from the generic designs and give her one that is personalized. You can have it printed with her name, photo, or an inspirational quote. Check out personalized gifts from Shutterfly, including their wristlets, if you are looking for a unique gift idea.

 

 

Photoshoot

Give her the gift of experience! Make her feel like a celebrity model even for just a couple of hours. Hire a photographer and find locations where you can have unique shots. Make sure to take care of the wardrobe and the props as well. This will be an opportunity for her to show off her style and have it documented in photos. Have the photos printed! You can also print it on canvas. In the case of the latter, be sure to check out Shutterfly’s canvas prints to have an idea of a unique way to give her the photos from the shoot.

Phone Case

If she is truly a fashionista, she will be focused not only on the big stuff but even on the small details. These details include her phone case, which should match her outfit. Look for fashionable phone cases that will complete her look. Choose colors that she will love. Bright colors will be perfect if she has a funky sense of fashion. Darker hues, on the other hand, will be more ideal if she is pulling off a sophisticated style.

 

Nail Polish

Speaking of the small details, more than what to wear, she also most probably frequently thinks about the color of her nails. With this, another gift worth considering would be a nail polish. Give her a set of assorted colors. As they say, nail polish is the new girl’s best friend! Luckily, they are cheaper than diamonds, making them easy to give for the fashion fanatic!

Headdress

If you have a fashionista friend who loves attending festivals or who just likes to be funky at times, a headdress will also make a good gift. This is the less boring version of a cap! It is an ornamental cover to the head, which can be made of various materials, often of bright colors. This will be great for petite girls as the design of the headdress allows it to give an illusion of height to the wearer.

 

Your fashionista friend will surely be happy with the gift ideas that have been mentioned above, which will make her trendy and chic!

Outfit Post – Loving Summer Fashion

It feels like this summer has gone on forever. I started rocking my summer pieces since April this year. The heat wave has been on and off since then and it feels like this has this has been the longest summer ever. It is definitely the longest summer I have ever experienced in the UK. I am grateful I am able to wear a lot of my summer pieces. I hear the heat wave would be on and off until October, which is great new for summer lovers. Summer fashion has been giving me life this year and I am not in a hurry for that bit to go away. I am seriously loving the summer pieces in the stores and my outfit post category on Fashion and Style Police has been very busy.

I am wearing this stunning Rose Cami Strap Maxi Dress – Serenna. This beauty landed on my doorstep some weeks ago and it has been worn twice already! I love the design of the dress a lot. And I think the colour is really pretty too! Definitely a perfect piece for a cooler summer day. It was very easy to style and dead comfy too! It is one of those pieces you throw on when you can’t be bothered to think too much about accessories, because it goes with almost everything.

This stunning maxi dress features cami straps with a bodycon fit. The flattering body hugging style is right up my street. It is definitely a season must-have!
