Do a fashion show/clothes swap
Posted on July 2nd, 2010 1 commentWho wants a Cosmo? With “Sex and the City 2″ hitting theatres, it’s time to get “carrie’d away” with the girls for a “Sex and the City” bash. Our fashion school experts have some party ideas to make your celebration particularly stylish and fun. So dial up the glamour and find your inner Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda with these oh so fashionable SATC party tips. Oh, and Mr. Big’s not invited.
Dress like your favorite character. A big part the fun of “Sex and the City” is the glorious fashion design. Each of the show’s women has her distinctive style, so channel your favorite character and work it! All you Carries out there might mix an avant-garde piece with a vintage find; try a men’s vest and tie; or wear a tank top and tutu like Sarah Jessica Parker wears during the opening credits. Samantha’s wardrobe is bold and sexy: vivid colors, animal prints and figure-hugging tops are at the top of her fashion list. She’s also all about the accessories, like big hoop earrings, designer bags and dramatic hats. If you’re more of the Charlotte type, think Park Avenue Princess: either a classic A-line dress, a matching sweater set, or a plaid or hounds tooth jacket. Then finish off the look with a headband and a string of pearls. And for you Mirandas, you can either go with a chic business suit or a sleek evening dress. (But don’t go for Miranda’s harried mom look with baby food stains on her sweatshirt.)
Do a fashion show/clothes swap. One of the highlights of the first “Sex and the City” movie was when Carrie put on a fashion show for her friends, trying on all her old outfits from her closet, and getting a “yay” or “nay” for each piece. Recreate the fun of that scene with your own fashion show. Ask each guest to bring two or three outfits they no longer want, and have clothes swap at the party. When someone finds a garment she might want, she tries it on, sashays down a “runway,” and everyone else plays fashion design critic, deciding whether she should take it or not. Any clothes not taken by the end of the party can be donated to a thrift shop.

Chunky and colourful jewelry adds a touch of luxury
Posted on July 2nd, 2010 No commentsHere is an idea of how to accessorize any outfit, for maximum fashion points:
- Belts: if you could have only one accessory in your closet, choose the incredibly versatile waist belt that will cinch you in, show off your shape and give you an extremely elegant and glamorous look. For comfort choose one with some stretch in it, so that you can wear it all day, and pick a colour that will go with everything. Dark brown, black or tan are great choices, but red and navy are also fantastic selections that will glam up any dress.
- Hats: if there’s one accessory that really shows off confidence and personality more than any other, it’s the hat. They come in all different shapes, colours and styles, some wildly creative and fun, and others slightly more conservative and chic. Try on different heights, fabrics and colours until you find a style that really represents your individual style and adds something to your outfit.
- Statement Jewelry: chunky and colourful jewelry adds a touch of luxury to any simple outfit, from pairing a big layered button necklace with a plain white tee, or a bold cuff bracelet with a navy shift dress. Be brave and try on something that is full of personality and history - visit antique and vintage stores for some of the best pieces available.
- Bags: no outfit is complete without a bag, be that a cute sparkly evening clutch or a large leather day tote bag. Match the color of your bag to your outfit for a more formal look, and mismatch for a casual day look.
