Marilyn Monroe’s Shoe Secrets

August 5, 2020 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , 1 Comment

Marilyn Monroe was and still is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to beauty and fashion. Her sense of fashion is a huge inspiration. I love reading about her. I recently came across Marilyn Monroe’s shoe secrets and I find them really interesting. Monroe’s favourite shoe designer was Salvatore Ferragamo (the luxury Italian designer); she had over 40 pairs, so she was definitely a huge fan. And who would blame her? A good pair of heels is every woman’s best friend. Heels can completely step up our style game. They add instant glamour, lengthen the legs and take the whole look to another level.

Marilyn Monroe’s Shoe Secrets

Here are some of Monroe’s shoe secrets –

Find a shoe designer you like and stick with the designer

Well, we all know she adored Salvatore Ferragamo’s shoes and had loads of them. It is great to find a shoe designer whose styles work well for you. I wouldn’t say I have a favourite shoe designer. I wear shoes from different designers but I do love Kurt Geiger shoes a lot. KG shoes always attract me. Do you have a favourite shoe designer?

Wear flesh-coloured shoes with flesh-coloured tights

This is another great tip. Wearing flesh-coloured shoes with flesh-coloured tights lengthens the legs. Different shades break up the line and make your legs appear shorter, which is the last thing any woman wants.

If you can’t walk in heels, do the wriggly walk

Now this is one of Monroe’s shoe secrets she never admitted but the word on the street was that she couldn’t walk in high heels, so she did the wriggly walk. Apparently, every time Marilyn took a step, she wobbled on her ankles, which led to the wriggly walk. If you must wear heels and can’t walk in them, you may want to look into her wriggly walk.

As you all know, we are in the middle of renovating some parts of our house. It has been on hold for months now for various reasons, but I plan to get back into the swing of things by next year. I would like to get the home office and kids bedroom sorted first, so I have all sorts of interior decorating items like wall stickers on my mind at the moment.

I recently came across TenStickers wall stickers and I have fallen in love with quite a few designs. I can see these stickers looking pretty on my walls already. Here are a few children’s wall stickers that caught my eye for my kids’ bedroom:

Female Body Shapes: The Hourglass Woman

August 14, 2015 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 23 Comments

Marilyn Monroe

Last week, I wrote about The Ballerina Woman so today is all about the curves. The hourglass, curvy shape dominated the 1950s thanks to the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield. This shape is still very much in vogue today, thanks to the likes of Kim Kardashian, Salma Hayek, Kelly Brook, Scarlett Johansson and many others, rocking this very sexy shape.

An Hourglass Woman has a star shape that is defined by matching measurements for the bust and hips, and a small waist in between, usually 10 inches smaller! This shape is the most feminine shape of all and if you are blessed with this volumptious figure, you should dress it smartly with the right pieces and not try to hide it.  The hourglass shape is almost too sexy with full hips, bust, thighs and a tiny waist, but like every other shape, there are Dos and Donts; here they are:

DOs

  • Accessorise your outfit with a waist belt for definition. Show off your assets.
  • Go for low-cut necklines to show off your cleavage.
  • Big prom dresses, stilettos, petticoats are must-haves.
  • Go for pencil skirts, dresses, rompers and jumpsuits to show off your fabulous proportions and tiny waist.
  • When buying pieces, go for sheer, soft, clingy fabrics to show off your curves.

DONTs

  • Avoid minis, you will look trashy.
  • Avoid baggy/saggy clothes, they hide your curves, you need to show them off.
  • Avoid buying pieces designed with stiff, bulky fabrics as they tend to hide the curves.
  • Avoid pieces with high necklines like turtlenecks as they draw attention away from your most important asset – the waist.
  • Avoid going overboard with the accessoires, let the attention be on the shape, keep everything else simple.

I hope my well endowed women find this post useful. I also hope you have learnt a thing or two from it. Keep the curves alive, show off your most envied assets. Thanks for reading and do leave me a comment.
