Style Yourself…Sailor Girl!


arrowsMay 8th, 2012

The Diva is always the first in the know with the latest and hottest looks every season…she just loves to style her friends and give them trend tips.

So she’s decided to do a weekly piece for the Viva La Diva blog called Style Yourself where she’ll give all her expert fashion advice to achieve one of this season’s most sought after looks.

So here is the very first in this new series of posts!

This week The Diva tells you how to Style Yourself…Sailor Girl!

The sailor girl look has been around for a few seasons now and first strutted its stuff down the catwalk a couple of summers ago, but it’s stayed around and is a definite staple for every girl’s wardrobe when the sun starts to peep out. The Diva especially loves to show off her nautical pieces for spring into summer months, it’s a lovely transitional period when this look works to its best.

Making use of white, red and blue, it’s the traditional sailor colour palette that really makes this look so easy to achieve. You can mix individual pieces you already own too with newer items, it’s just so simple. But don’t be afraid to throw in some more contemporary shades too like turquoise which can add a more summery look to your nautical style.

Prints are also a great way to add that sailor girl look to your outfit, of course it’s all about the stripes if you want a basic and simple look but don’t forget oh so cute polka dots too they’re perfect for a cutsie and girlie sailor look, while even prints like birds and hearts make a funky and modern alternative.

    We love…two tone platform shoes!


    arrowsFebruary 29th, 2012

    The Diva is always one step ahead of the latest footwear fashions and her latest “We love…” feature focuses on all those fabulous fashions she’s loving right now. First up is the latest two tone platform shoes trend that’s so hot right now.

    With a thick platform sole and killer heel, what’s not to love? But add into that a splash of a contrasting colour and you’ve got yourself one amazing shoe that’s for sure! And it also means you can team them with so many colours too and work the colour blocking trend too – two tone platform shoes are great wardrobe additions for any fashion forward shoe-lover.

    The Diva loves two tone platform shoes because…they can bring together all the colours in your outfit to create one look that embraces colour blocking.

    Here are a few of the two tone platform shoes we have a Viva La Diva.
