A friend of mine told me last year that she’d spent some time playing Kate Winslet’s body double in a movie called The Dressmaker (not the naked kind, the clothed kind of body double). From what she told me and watching the movie trailer I knew that I had to see it. As soon as…

Dress Colour Choose a shoe that relates to one of the colours in the dress, maxi’s are best with sandals rather than heavy shoes as they have a poolside glam feel about them which equates with summer footwear. Alternatively, a metallic shoe is an easy option as is a nude/skintone shoe colour if you don’t…

Leather look leggings are a great staple for your wardrobe whether you’re under or over 40. They create a more edgy look and a dressier feel than a plain knit legging. You can find them with a plain front, or with some pattern like these, which I thinks makes for a more interesting garment. How…
