Colour Me Chic: Brights

February 25, 2013 in Fashion

Sponsored Post

We are holding onto these last days of Summer as tightly as a sassy little bandage dress holds our curves! We’ve been loving the warm sunny days and endless balmy evenings. Drinking ice cold champagne and cocktails. Celebrating with friends and family alike. And most importantly? Rocking fabulous little frocks!

So while we reminisce about Summer and try to bring a part of it with us into the rest of the year, there really is no better colour scheme for Colour Me Chic than… Brights!

Pinks, blues, reds, purples, yellows…we love them all!

You can imagine our delight then when we came across Dress Nation, a fabulous online store that stocks a rainbow of beautiful dresses that are super affordable and – every online shopper’s two favourite words – free shipping!

As Jess, the super lovely owner of Dress Nation explains:

“My entrepreneurial spirit has let me to create Dress Nation, but it was my friends that inspired to me to create a shopping experience that reignites the joy of dress shopping!

My primary inspiration is to rid women of the frustration, and sometimes depression that buying dresses can involve.

I have created an online store where simplicity meets style, offering a selection of bandage dresses that have won my heart for their ease, comfort and style.”

We had way too much fun browsing the Dress Nation website and like true girls, could not decide on just one favourite, so here’s our pick of the bunch!

1. Scarlette Dress from Dress Nation ($112) // 2. Harper Dress from Dress Nation ($112) // 3. Amelia Dress from Dress Nation ($112) // 4. Tahlia Dress from Dress Nation ($112)

To see the full range of dresses, check out the Dress Nation website [https://dressnation.com.au/], like their Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/dressnationstore] and follow them on Twitter [https://twitter.com/dressnation]!

What kind of dress makes you feel fierce and fabulous?

Stay Chic,

Melinda & Sonia xx

Colour Me Chic…Orange

October 18, 2012 in Beauty, Fashion

It’s been a long time between drinks – or colours, should we say! The last time we coloured your world was back in August with the colour pink.

Seeing as it’s high time for another hue, we decided to pick a colour that is bright, happy and super hot for summer…orange!

Orange is such a vibrant colour that is perfect for the warm, sunny weather, looks great as a subtle pastel or bright neon, and suits just about everyone.

“But how would I wear orange without looking like a council worker?” I hear you ask.

Well unless your name is Bruce and you’re wearing a hi-vis vest while leaning on a shovel, you can rest assure that you’ll look just fine! In fact, our friend B from B Being Cool recently wrote a guest post over on Styling You with loads of great tips on how to wear orange.

Here are some sassy citrus picks that will have you saying “orange you glad I wore this colour?” (yes I am the queen of dorky jokes)…!

1. Colette by Colette Hayman Metal Plate Tote in Orange ($49.95) // 2. Nicole by OPI in ‘Fresh Squeezed’ ($14.95) // 3. Seduce ‘Neon Nights’ Belt from The Iconic ($24.95) // 4. Nerine Anne Designs ‘Bardot’ Earrings in Tangerine ($22.00) // 5. Sportsgirl Coloured Denim Jacket in Melon ($89.95) // 6. Colette by Colette Hayman Multi Wristwear in Orange ($14.95) // 7. Urge ‘Florida’ Sandal from StyleTread ($99.95) // 8. Country Road Gathered Dress ($149.00)

Will you be rocking the colour orange this summer? What’s your best dorky joke?

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

Colour Me Chic…Navy

July 12, 2012 in Beauty, Fashion

It’s time for another episode in our kaleidoscopic series of Colour Me Chic!

Today we are colouring your world…navy.

1. Darling ‘In The Navy’ Nail Polish ($18.95)

2. BYS Blueberry Scented Nail Polish from Fashion Addict ($3.95)

3. Face of Australia ‘Navy’ Eyeliner from Fashion Addict ($8.95)

4. MAC ‘Hey, Sailor!’ Limited Edition Eye Shadow in ‘Nautical Navy’ ($35.00)

Navy makes a beautiful and refreshing makeup change from black or brown – especially in the form of eyeliner. Still not convinced? Check out BellaSugar’s post on ‘5 Ways to Wear Trendy Navy Blue Eyeliner’.

1. ModCloth ‘Owl Be Waiting’ Scarf ($16.99)

2. Diva Studded Faux Leather Cuff ($19.99)

3. Colette by Colette Hayman Large Enamel & Metal Necklace ($19.95)

4. Beach Bumbershoot Umbrella from ModCloth ($17.99)

ModCloth really get me giggling with the names of some of their items. Case in point: the ‘Owl Be Waiting’ scarf…so cute! I’m totally digging the navy and gold jewellery colour combination. So very chic indeed.

1.  Topshop ‘Band Girl’ Knitted Jumper (approx $60.81)

2. Nasty Gal ‘Victoria’ Peplum Dress (approx $57.60)

3. Nasty Gal ‘Sylvie’ Striped Knit Top (approx $74.49)

4. Forever New ‘Gracie’ Embellished Evening Dress ($149.99)

The Forever New ‘Gracie’ dress literally had me sighing at how divine it is – and had my fiancé looking at me like something was wrong. Something is wrong. I need this dress. Now! Quick, someone help me think of a reason to buy it…

1. ModCloth ‘Midnight Moonlight’ Ballet Flat ($32.99)

2. Soles ‘Boot This’ Ankle Boot in ‘Navy’ from The Iconic ($159.95)

3. L.A.M.B. ‘Hortensia’ Heels from Piperlime (approx $318.00)

Who knew there were such awesome navy shoes out there?! This little collection alone is enough to take you from the office to the restaurant and from cocktails to coffee. Absolutely loving the L.A.M.B. heels – I could totally imagine Gwen Stefani herself rocking these babies.

 

Are you a fan of the colour navy?

How do you like to wear this classic colour?

Stay Chic,

Colour Me Chic…Yellow

May 29, 2012 in Beauty, Fashion

This is such a fun series! We take a colour (turquoise and coral previously) and pick the very best fashion, accessories and beauty products in that particular colour.

Today we’re colouring your world the bright, sunny shade of yellow!

The easiest way to inject some yellow into your beauty routine is with nail polish. Pastel, bright, neon – let your fingers do the talking!

Nubar ‘Mello Yellow’ from Salon Style ($11.88)

Hello Darling in ‘Rubber Duckie’ ($18.95)

China Glaze ‘Lemon Fizz’ from Crush Cosmetics ($10.95)

 A happy colour like yellow means accessories to make you smile. I’m loving the neon ’Flavia’ bag from Luxe by Lulu – how amazing is that colour?!

Colette Accessories Padlock + Stitching Wallet ($29.95)

Sportsgirl Bordered Gem Studs in ‘Amber’ ($9.95)

Luxe By Lulu ‘Flavia’ Handbag ($46.50)

Sometimes there’s nothing better than keeping your outfit incredibly simple and then having an unexpected pop of colour. The stunning Topshop neon lace dress is an outfit in itself.

Cocolatte Coloured Jeans ($14.99)

Dotti British Ponte Skater Skirt (on sale $29.95)

 Topshop Neon Lace Flippy Dress (approx $73.92)

 I’ve always had a weakness for statement shoes and these babies are definitely making a statement – loud and clear! The ASOS ballet flats would look especially cute with a pair of cuffed jeans, striped top and leopard print scarf. Of course I had to get leopard print somewhere in this post!

Topshop Platform Pointed Courts (approx $80.35)

ASOS ‘Lottie’ Leather Ballet Flats ($34.00)

Tony Bianco ‘JORCA2′ Heels from Wanted Shoes ($179.95)

And they are my yellow picks!

We love hearing your suggestions, so let us know what colour you would like to see on our next Colour Me Chic post.

Colour Me Chic… Coral

May 4, 2012 in Beauty, Fashion

We kicked off our first Colour Me Chic post with turquoise and today we are bringing another one of the Shop Me Chic teams favourite colours – Coral!

If there is one way I love my coral, it’s on my nails, lips and cheeks. Benefit’s Coralista blush is flattering on any skin tone and smells amazing, a must have for your beauty cupboard!

Essie Haute as Hello from Nail Etc

MAC Costa Chic

Benefit Coralista

These three (very cute) accessories deserve a place in every woman’s wardrobe and are perfect for work or play.

Coral Cat Scarf from Miss Selfridge

Retro Rosie earrings from ModCloth

Bubble Bib Necklace from Etsy

These three pieces check off all of my current wardrobe wants – a cardi for Winter, coloured denim and a dress that can be paired with stockings and a blazer on those extra chilly days.

Alma Fringe Cardi from Nasty Gal

Skinny Jeans from ASOS

Coral Sweetheart Dress from Dorothy Perkins

What better way than to brighten up an outfit with a coral shoe? It doesn’t have to be a heel either, these Wittner flats or the ModCloth wedges are a perfect way to add a touch of colour without leaving your feet aching at the end of the day!

Miss Soho (in coral) from Peeptoe Shoes

Pear flats (in Sunset Leather) from Wittner

Draw The Line Wedge from ModCloth

And that’s my coral picks!

Want to join in with our Colour Me Chic fun? Tell us how you’re wearing your coral on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #colourmechic

As always, we love hearing your suggestions so let us know what colour you would like to see on our next Colour Me Chic post.

Colour Me Chic…Turquoise

April 19, 2012 in Beauty, Fashion

This is a brand new post in the Shop Me Chic collection!!

Colour Me Chic will take a different colour and pick the very best fashion, accessories and beauty products in that particular colour.

Today, we’re colouring your world turquoise!!

The gemstone turquoise represents the star sign Sagittarius. The phrase “The Turquoise” refers to the waters of the Caribbean. In holistic medicine, the colour turquoise purportedly has a calming effect on patients. And the colour turquoise plays an important role in the Shop Me Chic logo.

Who knew this gorgeous little colour had so many purposes?!  Now let’s put it to good use the best way we know how…

OPI Nail Lacquer ’Fly’ by Nicki Minaj from Salon Style ($16.96)

MAC ‘Aquadisiac’ Eye Shadow ($33.00)

Illamasqua ‘Strike’ Nail Varnish (approx $21.43)

Turquoise is such a striking colour that really pops on nails and eyes. And if you’re feeling particularly daring – Illamasqua also does a turquoise lipstick. Would you??

Shabby Sisters ‘Turq Drop’ Earrings ($50.00)

Wild Bling ‘Lucite Crystal Choker’ ($49.00)

Luxe by Lulu ‘Cara’ Bracelet from the Amalfi Collection ($13.20)

It’s so easy – and fun – to rock super bright turquoise jewellery. And it was for this very reason I chose more subdued pieces, with the exception of the amazing Wild Bling choker, which I would save for weekend fun. The more understated pieces can be worn to work…as well as on the weekend.

Agent Ninetynine Slouchy Beanie from General Pants ($19.95)

Billabong Beanie Band from SurfStitch ($19.99)

NewUrban Mia Felt Fedora Hat (approx $68.75)

A fun and unexpected way to incorporate turquoise into your outfit is with headwear. A beanie, a headband or a hat…pop it on your head for a pop of colour!!

Forver New ‘Maley Paper Bag Short’ ($59.99)

ASOS Mini Dress With Contrast Piping ($58.00)

Sportsgirl ‘Cocoon Coat’ ($169.95)

Turquoise is one of the beautiful jewel tones hitting stores this winter and here are three different ways to incorporate this colour into your wardrobe. Such a gem of a colour!!

Tony Bianco ‘Fryer’ Heel ($169.95)

Wittner ‘Lee Lee’ Ballet Flat ($99.95)

Zu ‘Empress’ Heel ($150.00)

I love a coloured shoe to add a point of interest to an outfit. These gorgeous heels would be the ultimate exclamation point at the end of a fashion sentence…!!

ASOS Paul’s Boutique Satchel ($115.99)

Forever New ‘Sigourney’ Clutch ($24.99)

Colette Accessories ‘Minnie Square Turnlock Crossbody’ ($29.95)

And finally grab the finishing touch to your outfit before you head out the door – a lovely turquoise bag to carry you through Winter.

There you have it ladies. Are you all turquoised out now? No? Good!! Make sure you get into one of the most beautiful colours of the season.

What colour do you want to see featured next in Colour Me Chic?

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx
