SPRING/SUMMER 2011: THE CLOTHING TRENDS
To get your wardrobe ready for Spring/Summer, here is a quick overview of the trends for Spring/ Summer 2011!
’70s glamour
There are two main aesthetics: ’70s bohemian, and ’70s sophisticated glamour. When it comes to the latter, think dresses that fall like shimmering water in the evening and high-waist pants with elegant blouses by day.
Biker chic
For this trend we see lots of motorcycle jackets, leather pants and motorcycle boots to give you that bit of extra edginess.
Punk fashion
Think safety pins, studs and leather. Nice to have some statement pieces to combine with a simple outfit.
Lace
No, it’s not new. But, like all trends that span multiple seasons, it has evolved. Lace influences for Spring/Summer 2011 are more to the classic side with quality antique-style fabrics the key to the trend. Less of the allover, stretch lace and more of the unique takes.
Flared legs and bell bottoms are the new style pants. Great in a jeans version also!
Macrame
A macrame dress is ideal for layering over a bikini, monokini or bodysuit. We see lots of macrame accessories as well, I must say that I love it!
Good, I hope this short summary will give you some more inspiration for your own Spring/Summer 2011 wardrobe!^_^

Wear high heels painlessly, with full confidence!
Follow these simple tips to be able to wear comfortable and painless heels:
- When it comes to wearing high heels, it is all about putting on the right size. Make sure you pick up the right shoes. A very common mistake that most people do is picking out the wrong shoe size. Before you buy the shoes, wear them on and walk. But them only if you are comfortable.
- If you feel any discomfort, check for the source of pain. Put on your shoes and walk around, observe where it hurts the most. Identify the place where you are having the problem.
- Spot the area where it hurts. Usually, ball of the foot is the most common place where it hurts. For this, you can take gel inserts and put them in your shoes. If you don’t find them to be helpful, double up the gel inserts.
- If the back of your heel is troubling you, then you will have to put on heel cushions. All you need is to place these cushions at places where it hurts. If the cushions don’t help, you might need to stretch out your heel with a shoetree.
- If your arch is not supported properly, you can get arch supports and neatly stick them in your shoe heels. However, arch supports generally look a little ugly. Choose supports which are not visible through your heels.
These simple tips will help you to wear heels comfortably and painlessly.
