Answer Me Chic: Hot Winter Hen’s Night

May 24, 2012 in Fashion

One of our lovely readers, Karina is getting married and we all know that an important part of the wedding plans (besides actually marrying the love of your life) is of course the Hen’s Night. Karina’s Hen’s Night is in July and she has asked us to find some cold weather appropriate outfits that are still smoking hot.

The key to any gorgeous Winter outfit is layers. This is especially true for nights out – you want a jacket for when you are walking from the restaurant to the bar and then you need to be able to throw it off and hit the dancefloor in a fabulous number with cocktail in hand. Also, remember that black is not boring – it’s chic and timeless and a great base for any outfit. You can make a statement with your accessories. And most importantly, have fun with this!

So pop the champers and crank up the music, here are some Hen’s Night outfits worthy of a big night out…

Outfit 1: The Print Dress

Prints are are a big trend for the coming seasons, so why not base your outfit around a gorgeous print dress like this one from Forever New. You can keep the rest of the outfit simple by adding a great coat, some ankle boots and of course a bit of bling! If you’ve got a spray tan happening, then get those pins out. If it’s a little too chilly, then simply add some black opaque tights.

1. Forever New ‘Erin’ Ring Set ($14.99)

2. Colette ‘Stitch Panel Enamel Turn-Lock Clutch’ ($34.95)

3. ASOS ‘Bauble Interlink Circle Drop Earrings’ ($30.60)

4. Forever New ‘Rosie’ Dress ($199.99)

5. Cotton On ‘Lucci’ Cocoon Coat ($79.95)

6. Zu ‘Phoenix’ Ankle Boot (on sale $90.00)

Outfit 2: Dressy Denim

You can’t go wrong with a great pair of jeans. Go for dark denim to make it dressy, add a fabulous top, a great pair of heels and you are good to go. What’s better is that by going for separates, you can mix and match them with other items in your wardrobe.

1. Forever New ‘Aaliyah’ Charm Bracelet ($19.99)

2. Bardot ‘Night Leopard’ Top ($59.95)

3. Mavi ‘Alexa Sophisticated Stretch Jean’ from Birdsnest ($139.95)

4. Colette Sequin Turnlock Clutch ($34.95)

5. Supre Cuffed Sleeve Blazer ($50.00)

6. Dotti Covered Platform Heel ($59.95)

Outfit 3: A Fab Coat

This coat caught my eye and I thought it was a beautiful base for an outfit. Surprise everyone by revealing a pop of neon underneath and a leopard print clutch, and work that dancefloor like you mean business!

1. Mimco Crystal Dome Stud Earrings ($89.95)

2. Ally Fashion Laser Cut-Out Skater Dress ($29.99)

3. Dotti Basket Stitch Cream Coat ($129.95)

4. PeepToe Crystal Ring ($49.00)

5. Forever New ‘Millie’ Clutch ($39.99)

6. Wittner ‘Zachary’ Heels ($179.95)

I hope I’ve been some help for you Karina, but more than that – I hope you have the best night out with your girls!

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

Answer Me Chic: Flat Out

May 15, 2012 in Fashion

One of our lovely loyal readers, Eloise recently had ankle surgery and had been getting around in a moonboot until now. Her doctor has given her orthotics to wear in her shoes, and so Eloise has asked us to find her some cute flat boots to see her through the winter months.

Here are a few different styles that will be able to work back with any outfit you already own and maybe even inspire a few new ones…

Flat Ankle Boots

Flat ankle boots look great with skinny jeans or leggings tucked in, or with tights and dresses. Classic colours such as black and tan are always in fashion and why not add a bit of fun and go for a bright colour or interesting print like my personal favourite, leopard.

Cotton On ‘Holly’ Ankle Boot

Therapy ‘Bryant’ Ankle Boot

Wittner ‘Sydel’ Ankle Boot

Flat Knee High Boots

The knee high boot is such a flattering length of boot for most people and definitely a must-have in your shoe-drobe. Flat knee high boots are great for winter weekends or casual weekdays, and you can never have too many colours or styles.

Dotti ‘Buckle Up’ Knee High Boot

RMK ‘Zola’ Knee High Boot

Valeria Grossi ‘Eden’ Knee High Boot from The Iconic

Flat Over The Knee Boots

If you want to make a statement with a boot, then go over the knee!! Try them on and make sure they elongate your leg so that you walk out feeling like a Victoria’s Secret model with legs for days…What? A girl can dream!!

Tony Bianco ‘Pia’ Over The Knee Boot

Forever New ‘Ollie’ Over The Knee Boot

Ko Fashion ‘Laken’ Over The Knee Boot from Shoe Shed

We hope you’re back your feet (literally) very soon Eloise, and in the meantime make the most of the cooler weather and rock your flat boots in style!!

Got a fashion, beauty or lifestyle question? Email, Tweet or Facebook us and we will find the answers for you.

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

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.

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!

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

Answer Me Chic: Trench Coat, Not Lab Coat

April 10, 2012 in Fashion

We put the call out to our lovely Twitter followers to solve any fashion challenge they might have and Katie of Mumma On The Run quickly replied:

“I have a white trench coat which I have no idea how to wear without looking like I work in a lab!! Help!!”

Once we said that we could help, Jaclyn then chimed in with a similar sentiment:

“Yes please! I also have a white trench that has been sitting in my wardrobe for 2+ years and has been worn once.”

OK girls, time to pull out those white trench coats cos here are three ways to look super chic and not super geek…

Michael Kors Trench from Amazon – $110.00

Outfit 1: Weekend Casual

This outfit is perfect for the weekend, when you are grabbing a much needed coffee, catching up for brunch with a fabulous friend or giving your little one ”just one more push” on the swings.

1. Cheap Monday Sunglasses from The Iconic – $50.00

2. Ivys Knit Scarf from Birdsnest – $20.95 (on sale)

3. Betty Basics Top from Birdsnest – $22.95

4. Billie Shoes ‘Poppy’ from SurfStitch – $29.95

5. Jag Mid Rise Boot Jean – $99.95

Outfit 2: Date Night

Time to glam up that trench with a knock out date night look. Keep it all black with accents of metallic to really take it to another level. The beauty of this outfit is that the dress can be worn with or without the skinny pants (weather and spray tan dependant). Va-va-voom!!

1. Princess Polly ‘Miss You’ Dress – $70.00

2. Mimco ‘Reverie Armour’ Necklace – $249.00

3. Colette ‘Stud Front’ Clutch – $49.50

4. ASOS ‘Pluto’ Heel – $97.32

5. ASOS Leather Look Skinny Pant – $48.66

Outfit 3: Corporate Chic

Finally, we’ve got a great look for the office. Tailored pants and pussy bow blouse go together perfectly just like you and your Monday morning coffee. Add a ladylike suede heel and a fab bag, and you mean business lady!!

1. Forever New ‘Adelaide’ Blouse – $59.99

2. Wittner ‘Jagged’ Heels – $129.95

3. Witchery ‘Sateen’ Full Length Pant – $129.95

4. Mezi ‘Kelly’ Stud Earrings – $79.00

5. Kate Hill ‘Rikki’ Leather Tote Bag – $99.95 (on sale)

So there you have it ladies, three different looks that all work back with a white trench coat.

I hope your coats will be making an appearance soon – and be sure to tweet us a photo!!

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

These Boots Were Made For Winter

March 22, 2012 in Fashion

We’re already nearly at the end of March – can you believe it?

Even though the sun continues to make an appearance, I can’t help but notice how quickly the day seems to become darker and how much cooler the nights are. Soon enough winter will be upon us, which means we can rock my favourite cold weather footwear – BOOTS!!

There are 3 types of classic boots that are pretty well universally flattering and worth investing in, and 1 trend item that is pure sparkly fun.

The Ankle Boot

The ankle boot has made a major comeback in recent years and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. This type of boot comes in a variety of styles, but the one that has really captured my attention this season is the loose-fit, western style which can be worn with jeans, leggings or dresses. I fell in love with these Country Road boots when they were featured recently on the fabulous Styling You website.

Totti Ankle Boots (in Burnt Clay), Country Road, $229.00

The Knee High Suede Boot

I have an unhealthy obsession with suede shoes. I seem to collect them and for some reason they all seem to be black. I just think suede is so timeless and adds a gorgeous texture to any outfit. I have a pair of black suede boots I bought 2 years ago from Zu that I like to call my ‘Puss In Boots’ because the top of the boot can be folded down to sit just under my knee or it can be unfolded to sit a good few inches above my knee, a la Puss In Boots himself. Meow!!

Luxurious Suede Boot, Wittner, $269.95

The Flat Boot

The flat boot is essential for any casual winter outfit. It provides warmth and protection from the elements and also looks incredibly chic. My favourite way to wear them is with a sweater dress, longline cardigan and leggings. So comfy and cute. The most popular styles of flat boot are the riding boot or the motorcycle boot. And the best thing about them? The more worn in and beat up they look, the better!!

Idyllic Boot (coming soon), Siren Shoes, $209.95

The ‘Just For Fun’ Boot

Some of us participated in the Fox in Flats ‘Sparkle Dare’ last week, wearing something sparkly every day for 7 days.

For someone who loves all things glitter and sparkles, I was incredibly disappointed to discover I had a severe lack of sparkly clothing or shoes and had to make my accessories work overtime to complete the dare.

Glitter shoes, and in particular ankle boots, are a fun trend to try this season.

I wish I had a pair of these sitting in my wardrobe last week. Then again, who needs a dare to wear sparkly shoes?!

Dazzler Boot, RMK, $159.95

Bootee by Glamour Puss, Wanted Shoes, $129.95

Strum Boot, Betts, $79.99

What is your favourite style of boot to kick around in?

Stay Chic,

Sonia

Take Me From The Office To…

March 16, 2012 in Fashion

I always say that a dress is an instant outfit. You put one on and you’re good to go. This is essentially true, but it’s all about what you add to that dress that can transform it from office appropriate to ready for anything.

Seeing as it’s Friday and the weekend is nearly upon us, I’ve picked this gorgeous leather Portmans number which will Take Me From The Office To…

Leather Fit And Flare Dress, Portmans, $249.95

…Drinks With The Girls

This is the best opportunity to have fun with the dress. And what could be more fun than a pop of colour? POPS of colour!! Go wild with neons and leopard print and have a ball with your besties.

1. Fluro Skinny Belt, ASOS, $9.73

2. Gatsby Ankle Boots, Zu, $170.00

3. Leather and Pony Clutch, ASOS, $48.66

…Dinner With The In-Laws

Time to tone down the rockstar and turn up the ladylike style. Add a cute belted cardigan, some suede heels, your sweetest smile, some polite conversation and you are sure to win Daughter In Law Of The Year (if that even exists).

4. Angie Cardi (Deep Teal), Cotton On, $29.95

5. Teore Heels, Wittner, $139.95

6. Twiggy Bow Belt, Dotti, $15.95

…Date Night With The Other Half

Time to break out the leopard print once again (like we need an excuse) and unleash the feline within. Before you know it, your prey will be like putty in your paws…wait. What were we talking about again…?! Oh yeah, date night. Well, same thing really. Rrrreeeeooooowwww.

7. Interstellar Choker, Mimco, $239.20

8. Leopard Print Skinny Belt, ASOS, $9.73

9. Pisa Booties, Tony Bianco, $159.95

And so there you have it: 1 dress that can be changed up 3 ways by simply adding 3 different items. Seems like such a simple equation that could be managed even over a cocktail…

Stay chic,

Sonia

Celebrity Chic: Lauren Conrad

March 12, 2012 in Fashion

Here at Shop Me Chic, we’ve already admired the Celebrity Chic of Olivia Palermo.

For us, it’s all about being able to take a gorgeous and simple outfit and dress it up when needed.

Lauren Conrad has mastered the art of looking polished, sophisticated and stylish, but still seems as though she’s wearing an outfit we could all totally rock ourselves. That’s why she’s my style icon and this week’s Celebrity Chic.

Take a look…

Image

So once again, I have scoured the internet to see how we can recreate the lovely look of Miss Lauren Conrad.

I decided to search for a top and blazer in blush tones, as I thought that colour was complimentary to most skin tones and very versatile to incorporate into existing wardrobes. I also wanted to find a legging/pant that was not leather, but rather an interesting take on the jegging. I also loved the inclusion of the mint clutch – what an unexpected colour accessory. So fun and cute.

Here’s my take on Lauren’s outfit…

1. ASOS Tux Blazer In Loose Fit, ASOS, $113.54

2. Beads and Bow Tank, Dotti, $59.95

3. Coated Jegging, Sussan, $89.95

4. ASOS Slot Through Envelope Clutch, ASOS, $32.44

5. Sunshine Heel, Wittner, $149.95

Is this an outift you could see yourself wearing as a local celebrity?

Stay chic,

Sonia

We Heart…Wittner ‘Kuku’ Ballet Flats

February 29, 2012 in Fashion

‘We Heart…’ is going to be a regular post shared between Melinda and myself (Sonia) here on Shop Me Chic, where we’ll talk about an item (or three) that we’re loving.

First up, it’s my turn.

Get your tutus on and go crazy, because We Heart…Wittner ‘Kuku’ ballet flats.

I bought my Wittner ‘Kuku’ ballet flats (in the colour ‘Military’ as seen above) last year when I was looking for a good quality, reasonably priced, neutral ballet flat that wasn’t plain and boring. These little beauties have a touch of the unexpected, as they are a classic round toe design but are made from real fish leather. They are super comfortable, as I find most Wittner shoes are, with a highly padded innersole and are an easy way to turn the most casual of outfits into a chic little ensemble.

At $129.95, (or $99.95 in ‘Military’ if you are a size 36) it certainly is an affordable addition to your shoe wardrobe and I can vouch for the quality, as mine are still rocking after many, many wears. Kuku comes in Caramel, Turquoise, Orange, Military and Black – so there’s bound to be a colour to suit.

As Wittner says, Kuku is “…all about pure girly fun”.

So do a little twirl and give these fabulous ballet flats a whirl!!

Stay chic,

Sonia
