Anna Wintour, is one of the women, not only in fashion but in general, that i greatly respect and admire. She is one of the most respected women in fashion she has built up a legacy and a culture that i respect so much. I really would like to emulate her qualities as she is a female who garners respect from the world at large.

1. LBD (Little Black Dress) Fashion historians say the origin of this style was first designed in the 1920's by fashion designers Coco Chanel and Jean Patou. The LBD is an essential to any woman's wardrobe, the dress should be sexy, sophisticated and it should accentuate you best qualities and hide your flaws. It should not be too short nor too long. You can get a great affordable LBD at Macys or The Gap. One of those unspoken rules in fashion is that every woman should own a black dress that can be dressed up for an evening out and also dressed for a business meeting. Think Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' 2. Black Blazer A Black Blazer is really great clothing to own. It literally can change an entire outfit with the right accessories. The Blazer must fit well, not baggy or over sized (unless that's the look you're going for). If you want to look taller you should get a longer blazer, it really does elongate the body. You can mix and match and build ensembles around your blazer. You really dont have to splurge on a blazer, H&M has a great selection of black Blazers for great prices. 3. Blue Jeans Everyone whether male or female should own a good quality pair of jeans. The jeans don't necessarily have to be the ones currently in style but they should fit well and accentuate your best quality. You should preferably get one in a dark wash color it tends to go well with anything in your closet. When buying jeans go ahead and spend a little more than you normally would. A good quality jeans will last you longer rather than cheap jeans. The Gap, Hollister, Levis and American Eagle sell great jeans for reasonable prices. 4. White Dress Shirt A good white dress shirt is a great addition to your wardrobe. Its so versatile it can be tucked into a pencil skirt or pants, it can be worn out over some dark jeans. A crisp white blouse can make any outfit look effortless. 5. Pencil Skirt The pencil skirt is a classic. Its sexy, powerful and sophisticated and it really does flatter any figure. I would go with neutral colors so it will be versatile enough to match anything in your closet. A pencil skirt can take you from day to night effortlessly . Do not purchase skirts that are too tight or too loose get something that fits right. You should be able to sit, breathe and walk comfortably in the skirt. 6. Black Pumps Black Pumps are the LBD of shoes. They can be styles with any outfit whether its stilettos or pointy toes. If you're like me and you're getting used to wearing heels i would start out with heels less that 3 inches. But if you're a heel connoisseur go for the 4inch and up. Nine West and Guess offer a great selection of classic black pumps. [ I'm right now trying to acquire a pair of classic black Christian Louboutins] If you can, you should invest in a pair for yourself but dot break your bank. 7. Ballet Flats This is a big staple for me. They will go a long way in your closet. It sooo versatile literally they go with everything. You don't have to stick with just black you can venture out and get cheetah print, nude or bright colors, but i would get a pair of black first. Based on personal experience and what I've heard from family and friends its best you get a decently priced flats rather than getting a really expensive one. Target and Burlington Coat Factory have great selection of flats. I am literally obsessed with Victoria Secret Angels. Call it cliché but I've always wanted to be a Victoria Secret Angel. But to be one it's like 40% luck and 500% looks. The Fashion show was great. It was divided into six sections: British Invasion, Birds of Paradise, Parisian Nights, Shipwrecked, Snow Angels and the Pink Network. The show also had backstage film of the angels getting ready and they also had segments where the models would talk about there childhood, social media and other interesting topics. The Fall Out Boys, T Swift , Neon Jungle and A Great Big World preformed. Comparing the show to other years it was pretty ok. The opening began with the British Invasion. The Fall Out Boys and Taylor Swift performed the Fall Out Boys hit song "My songs know what you did in the dark". The beautiful Candice Swanepoel opened up the show, she wore a 10 million bra and look amazing her hair, skin everything was amazing.. Cara Delevingne also came out in her football outfit. The shipwrecked section was really more soothing and slow, A Great Big World performed 'Say Something' it was really nice. The color scheme was more pastel and light colors really soft. Parisian nights section was sexy and i loved that Miley Cyrus song F U was creatively played. Adriana Lima look just stunning red is her color so amazing so sexy. Next section was the Birds of Paradise i really loved the feathers, the wings were gorgeous and creative. Alessandra Ambrosio looked stunning her wings were my favorite wings. The Fall Out Boys performed aptly there song Phoenix. The next section was the PINK section where Neon Jungle performed 'Trouble'. I loved this section it was up beat the colors and outfits were creative and wild and everything i excepted PINK to bring also the accessories were awesome. The Snow Angel section was the last and Taylor performed her hit 'I Knew You Were Trouble' and i must say she held here own she sang well and looked amazing. All the models looked amazing especially the model Lindsay Ellingson who walks the runway wearing the 3D corset, bustle arm and headpeice made using Swarovski Crystals. Everything glitz and glam and really over the top and and angelic the backdrop and the 'snow' falling gave it a really nice touch. All in all the Show was quite enjoyable. |
