3 Handbag Styles To Carry On With

August 16, 2012 in Fashion

You could be having a bad hair, fighting a battle with a giant pimple the size of Mount Vesuvius on your chin or be feeling…for want of a better word, frumpy – but none of that matters when it comes to buying a new handbag!

Accessories echo the trends of the season, and handbags are no exception. There are so many fabulous options out there for every budget, which means that buying into a trend doesn’t have to just be about your clothes – it can also be about your handbag. And you’ve gotta love that!

Here are 3 styles of handbags that you can carry on with…

1. Kate Hill ‘Sadie’ Tote ($79.99)

2. ModCloth ‘Verde and Night’ Bag ($64.99)

3. Pauls Boutique ‘Maisy’ Bag from Topshop ($91.17)

4. Forever New ‘Penny’ Mini Bowler Bag ($39.99)

Ladylike is a fabulous style for the corporate world, brunch with the girls or a romantic dinner for two. The ladylike colour scheme can range from pretty pastels, such as the picks from Kate Hill and Topshop, to gorgeous jewel tones, such as the ModCloth and Forever New beauties. A trend that is timeless, in my opinion!

1. ModCloth ‘On The Polka Dot’ Bag ($59.99)

2. PeepToe ‘Lady Jacqui’ Bag ($159.00)

3. ASOS Floral Envelope Clutch With Leather Trim (on sale $44.04)

4. Marc By Marc Jacobs ‘Zora’ Shopper Tote from Shopbop ($66.96)

You’d have to be living under a rock (or be a brand new Shop Me Chic reader) to not know that leopard is my absolute favourite print. I actually consider it a neutral because it goes with pretty much anything. Whether you love leopard like me, zebra, polka dots or floral, there’s a print to suit everyone!

1. Forever New ‘Pop’ Fold Over Clutch ($34.99)

2. Sportsgirl ‘Ashley’ Colour Block Bag ($59.95)

3. Colette Jersey Panel Turnlock Bag ($39.95)

4. Mimco ‘Pioneer’ Tote ($550.00)

Sport Luxe is a huge trend for Spring and Summer, as the fabulous ladies at Sportsgirl explain: “Give your personal style the winning edge with this season’s hot sports luxe trend. Leather, neon, mesh and cut-out details are the perfect nod to this straight-off-the-runway trend.”

Have you purchased a new handbag recently? What’s your favourite handbag that you own? We want to know!

Stay Chic,

5 Casual Chic T-Shirts

August 14, 2012 in Fashion

While doing my research for the Celebrity Chic: Gwen Stefani post the other week, I couldn’t help but notice the incredible array of super cute t-shirts out there.

It got me thinking about how I used to be obsessed with printed tees. In particular, I had 3 awesome Sass and Bide tees that I used to rock with a denim skirt and Havi’s during the day and with jeans and heels on a night out. In fact, I happened to be wearing a printed t-shirt the night I met my now-fiancé. It was a hot pink tee with white writing that said ‘WILL WORK FOR SHOES’…!

I seemed to have drifted away from tees in the past few years, but looks like my research and reminiscing may have reignited my love for them.

The beauty of a great t-shirt is its versatility. It can be dressed down for day with shorts, a skirt or jeans and flats, or dressed up for night with a fabulous pair of dark skinny jeans, a blazer, statement necklace and heels.

Here are 5 tees that will take you from casual to chic…

1. Cotton On ‘Whip’ Tee in Grey ($19.95)

2. Topshop Floral Oversized Tee ($53.49)

3. ASOS ‘Meow’ Tee ($22.77)

4. ModCloth ‘Girl Fox’ Tee ($29.99)

5. Miss Brown ‘Rock’ Tee from General Pants ($59.95)

Have you got a favourite t-shirt you love to wear? How do you like to style your t-shirt? Tell us all about it!

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

5 Spring Denim Picks

August 2, 2012 in Fashion

And so the sun rises on another Denim Day here at Shop Me Chic, and now that we’re in August, we can officially count down the days until Spring, right?!

The fabulous thing about denim is that it can really be an all-year-round fabric and can be worn in different ways, with colours and patterns to mix things up a little.

So what kind of denim is Spring appropriate?

Well of course jeans are a staple, but why not try something new and invest in a cute pair of coloured or patterned jeans? If patterns such as floral or leopard print seem just a bit out there for you, then coloured jeans are the way to go. My colour pick would be the hue everyone is raving about right now – mint (4). Denim skirts (1) are also being brushed with colour, which is a great warmer weather alternative to jeans.

Denim shirts (2) and dresses (5) can easily be worked into your existing wardrobe and a sweet denim dress can be layered with leggings and a scarf for cooler weather or with your favourite pair of Havi’s in the Summer.

Finally, everyone should own a denim jacket, but what makes them so different for Spring? NEON! How fabulous is this neon yellow denim jacket (3)? It also comes in a fabulous shade of coral. Run, don’t walk!

Here are my 5 Spring denim picks…

1. American Apparel ‘Bull’ Denim Skirt from ASOS (on sale $48.93)

2. Topshop ‘MOTO’ Fitted Denim Shirt ($55.00)

3. Topshop ‘MOTO’ Neon Denim Biker Jacket ($103.24)

4. DL1961 ‘Angel’ Ankle Skinny Jeans from Shopbop ($140.62)

5. Nasty Gal ‘Denim Dream’ Dress ($108.00)

How will you be wearing your denim this Spring? Will you be buying or have you already bought coloured or patterned denim?

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

This week we’re teaming up with Andrea from Fox In Flats to bring you the Denim Dare…are you in?!

3 Ways To Springify Your Look

July 26, 2012 in Fashion

We may still be in the midst of Winter, but judging by a lot of Tweets and Facebook posts, most of us are pining for the warmth and sunshine of Spring. So while we may not be able to change the weather, we can start buying a few pieces to brighten up our days and to also see us through to the fabulous Summer ahead.

Here are three ways to Springify your look!

1. Clare Vivier Neon Stripe Clutch from Shopbop ($139.50)

2. Lady Fox Accessories Emerald Cut Crystal Necklace ($95.00)

3. ModCloth ‘A-Head Of Trends’ Scarf ($19.99)

4. Nerine Anne Designs ‘Zara’ Earrings in Aqua ($22.00)

There’s nothing like a bright piece of jewellery, scarf or bag to liven up a Winter outfit. I love the fun and colourful print of the ModCloth scarf, which would look awesome with a denim jacket no matter what the season. And lately I’ve been distracted from the news on The Project thanks to Carrie Bickmore rocking some fabulously sparkly Lady Fox Accessories necklaces. If you haven’t already, be sure to check them out.

1. Forever New ‘Piper’ Skater Skirt ($59.99)

2. Ally Fashion Double Peplum Jacket ($34.99)

3. Ally Fashion Peplum Waist Skirt ($19.99)

4. Topshop Premium Sequin T-Shirt Dress ($117.00)

Some beautiful trends to add to your Winter wardrobe now that will see you all the way through Spring and Summer are florals, metallics, brights and peplum. When buying into a trend, only spend as much as you can afford. That way if the trend doesn’t continue next season or if you are just plain over it, you haven’t over-invested in that piece. Save your pennies for the classics but have fun mixing them with trends.

1. Novo Shoes ‘Clay’ Ballet Flats ($39.95)

2. Verali ‘Lizzy’ Heels from StyleTread ($79.95)

3. Topshop ‘Melinda’ Ballet Flats ($54.00)

4. Steven ‘Amplifyd’ Heels from Shopbop ($152.10)

Metallic, neons and brights can also be rocked on your…feet! These amazing and affordable Novo ballet flats were brought to my attention thanks to Andrea at Fox In Flats. Loving the mix of neon and neutral together in one shoe. And of course I couldn’t go past these Topshop flats – not only because they are gorgeous, but also because they are named after my fabulous Shop Me Chic partner in crime!

How will you be bringing Spring into your wardrobe over the coming weeks?

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Answer Me Chic: Winter Workwear

June 19, 2012 in Fashion

We love hearing from our fabulous Shop Me Chic readers (or Chicettes as we like to call you), especially when we can help you out.

We recently received an email from Anya asking for some winter workwear advice…

“Hi Sonia and Melinda! I’m looking for some winter work inspiration (something other than Portmans because I seem to own their entire store at the moment). I need to be slightly corporate (meeting clients most days). Any ideas/advice?”

We’ve come up with 3 simple ways to revamp your winter work wardrobe without breaking the bank…

1. Blouses

Working in a corporate office myself, I am a big fan of blouses. They add an element of fashion and femininity to your outfit. The great thing about a blouse is that you can find them in every pricepoint and there are so many styles and prints to choose from.

ModCloth ‘Star-fishing For Compliments’ Blouse ($37.99)

Topshop Willow Print Pussybow Blouse (approx $72.80)

Funktional Stripe Fold Front Blouse from Shopbop (approx $113.38)

2. Accessories

Accessories are the easiest way to give your outfit a new lease on life. In winter, scarves take centre stage as they not only look super cute, but keep you nice and warm too. A statement necklace is a great way to dress up a plain top or shirt and some gorgeous earrings can make a simple ponytail look extremely chic.

Nerine Anne Designs ‘Summer Bliss’ Necklace ($38.00)

Forever21 Zigzag Patchwork Scarf (approx $8.92)

Diva ‘Neon Glam’ Earrings ($14.99)

3. Shoes

Neutral seems to be the palette du jour in corporate offices – think black, white and grey. Not only is it easy to throw a neutral outfit together, but you can count on it to look sophisticated and work appropriate. A fun way to brighten up a neutral outfit is with a pop of colour on your feet.

Lipstik ’Ita’ Heels from StyleTread ($79.95)

Fiebiger Shoes ‘Rendezvous’ Flats from The Iconic ($39.95)

BCBGeneration ‘Cielo’ Heel from Piperlime (on sale $63.60)

We hope we’ve inspired your winter work wardrobe Anya and have added a little bit of colour to your weekdays.

How do you reinvent your workwork in winter?

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

Celebrity Chic: Nicole Richie

June 15, 2012 in Fashion

We love our fashionable celebrity mums here at Shop Me Chic (hi there Kourtney Kardashian, Reese Witherspoon and Beyonce) so it’s timely to add another lovely lady to the mix.

Today’s Celebrity Chic is Nicole Richie.

Nicole has boho chic down to a fine art and the girl can glam up like no other, but it’s her day-to-day casual look that wins us over every time.

Image

This outfit is a fantastic winter option that is perfect for the school run, coffee catch ups or Saturday morning sport. We love the classic neutral palette and that each piece can be mixed and matched with other on-trend items to give them a new look and a new life.

Here’s our take on Nicole Richie’s outfit…

1. Fun Hooded Long Grey Scarf from The Iconic ($34.95)

2. House of Harlow ‘Carmen’ Sunglasses from Boutique To You ($138.00)

3. Nasty Gal Shearling Drape Jacket ($68.00)

4. Topshop ‘Basic Neppy’ T-shirt (approx $26.00)

5. The Agency ‘Power Lunch’ Bag ($140.00)

6. Mavi ‘Alexa’ Mid Super Skinny Stretch Jeans ($129.99)

7. Converse All Star High Top Trainers from ASOS ($71.42)

What’s your favourite winter casual outfit? Which celebrity would you like to see featured next time on Celebrity Chic?

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

Denim Duty

June 5, 2012 in Fashion

We’ve all got denim in our wardrobe. It’s been a fashion staple for many years, it suits most people and withstands the test of time and trends. So besides the faithful pair of perfect jeans, what other denim items could be added to your cart and to your list of favourites?

Let’s take a look…

Dotti ‘The Blues’ Jacket ($79.95)

Somedays Lovin ‘Wild One’ Jacket from The Iconic ($89.95)

All About Eve ‘Sandy’ Jacket from SurfStitch (on sale $77.99)

The denim jacket is a great transeasonal item that can be worn over a floaty summer dress or with a jumper and scarf. And check out the surprise print on the back of the Somedays Lovin jacket – rrrrrroar!

Motel Dress from ASOS ($71.40)

Topshop Dress (approx $63.00)

Supre Skirt (on sale $15.00)

I remember rocking a denim dress in the 90s as a young teen. Boy, did I think I was cool in that little number. Well they’re back and so are denim skirts. I’m particularly impressed by the Topshop dress – who knew denim could be so sexy?!

Paris Hilton ‘Destiny’ Heels from Heels.com (on sale $80.74)

Converse All Star Trainers from ASOS ($79.90)

Giuseppe Zanotti Heels from Farfetch ($493.00)

A pop of denim on your feet is a bit of a fun way to incorporate this old faithful fabric into your outfit. Even Paris Hilton has the right idea with this cute design (I never thought I would utter those words…)!

Are you a denim diva? What are your favourite denim items in your wardrobe?

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

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!

Want to join in with our Colour Me Chic fun? Tell us how you’re wearing yellow on Twitter with the hashtag #colourmechic or post a pic on Facebook!

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

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx
