Monday, July 19th, 2010

In this latest edition of “Get the look” The Diva shows you how to create a really unique grunge glam style – she’s picked out the shoes or boots, bag and accessories from head to toe, so all you have to do is buy them and instantly look fabulous!

Ok, so it might not be for everyone but the grunge look for 2010 has taken a really glamorous turn, which The Diva has really taken to. It’s so easy to pull off the grunge glam look whether you’re a tom boy or a girly girl, you just need a few key pieces that you’ll find on the Viva La Diva website.

Viva La Diva Geneva Sunglasses – we’re loving these funky (although a little geeky!) black clear sunglasses, they’re just perfect for a quirky finishing touch.

Malissa J Angelique Earrings – add a touch of glamour and dazzle with these beautiful gem earrings, the perfect grunge glam addition.

French Connection Metal Capped Necklace – add a splash of colour with this funky beaded necklace from French Connection.

Ringspun Slouchy Cross Body Bag – a fashionable cross body bag is perfect for this look, especially this one with its girly design but grunge touches.

Viva La Diva Coloured Tights – we sell these in packs of two and the pink/blue coloured tights pack is just perfect for adding colour to this look.

Bordello Teeze Triple Strap Court Shoes – if heels are your thing then you’ll adore unusual high heels from Bordello with their amazing 6in heel!

No Name Fanastic Wedge Pumps – the perfect trainer and heel combi, we love these funky black wedge trainers!

Grazia Stud Chain Biker Boots – not so girly? Well you’ll love these fab women’s biker boots with their stud and chain detailing.

Twilight fans – go glamorous goth!


Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Just like all you ladies, The Diva is utterly obsessed with everything Twilight right now and with the new Twilight Saga: Eclipse movie hitting the cinemas this week, she’s gone into complete Twilight mode!

Whether you’re team Edward or team Jacob, you’ll love this Twilight-inspired glamour goth look from Viva La Diva that is oh so fabulous right now…and who knows, maybe you’ll attract your very own Edward or Jacob with this sexy style.

Think chunky boots with stud detailing, sexy patent knee high boots, studded bags, unusual high heels and quirky beaded jewellery, The Diva might love everything sparkly and girly, but this glamour goth look is most certainly divalicious!

These studded biker boots are just perfect if you like a bit of grunge in your look, the chain detail and studs add that hint of dazzle.

Fancy something a little less clunky? Well these gladiator sandals have a really quirky twist with their stud and zip detailing, fashionable yet gothic, we’re liking it!

So you love the glamorous goth look but prefer a little more in the way of heels? You won’t go wrong with these beauties with their platform sole and over the top studding.

If high heels are your thing but you’re thinking of something a little sexier and with a bit more glam then these Pleaser boots are must haves! Knee high boots and thigh high boots in patent black…wowza!

If these are a bit too much for your glam goth look then why not compromise and go for a black patent high heel shoe boots?

The ultimate glamour goth girl will look utterly fabulous in these Iron Fist shoes, the perfect unusual high heels with a werewolf design…Jacob won’t be able to resist you in these!

So that’s the shoes sorted, now onto the accessories, a studded bag is just perfect for this gothic look, The Diva loves these ones!

Add a touch of colour (perhaps red and attract the likes of Edward?!) with these gorgeous pieces of jewellery, The Diva especially likes the glamorous red fascinator!

Get Lady Gaga’s style with heel less shoes


Monday, June 7th, 2010

She’s known for her eccentric style and Lady Gaga certainly stayed true to her colours this weekend after being spotted wearing some rather unusual high heels…heel less shoes! With huge platforms and no sign of a heel, it’s quite astonishing that she could actually walk in these heeless shoes.

But she’s not the only celebrity to be seen in these heeless shoes, Posh has also previously been spotting wear some rather unusual heels in a similar style. The Victoria Beckham heeless shoes first set the trend back in 2008 so maybe Lady Gaga is trying to bring back a revival…?!

Ok, so you might love these unusual high heels but they’re probably a little bit OTT, celebrities might be able to pull it off but it just doesn’t quite have the same effect. Take a look at these fabulous United Nude shoes on the Viva La Diva website that include some really funky and less “in your face” styles of heel less shoes.

Being a diva is all about standing out in a crowd and you’ll certainly do that with these eccentric Iron Fist Oh No shoes in platform and wedge styles. The Diva loves their quirky and slightly weird design with a strange eyeball pattern in funky colours that have an alternative divaesque look about them.

Quirky divas will simply adore these Iron Fist shoes that give alternative divas the chance to be just as glamorous as girly ones, so ladies, show off your eccentric side with these one of a kind alternative high heels and wedges this summer.

Create your own Lady GaGa-esque style


Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The Diva isn’t complete without her heels, so she couldn’t agree more with ultimate diva Lady GaGa when she told Jonathon Ross that she’d rather be dead than be seen without her trusty high heels…now that’s commitment to being a diva, ladies!

As fantastic a diva as myself, Lady GaGa certainly has a unique style and I’m quite sure she’d adore some of our alternative footwear. Why not create your own unique diva twist on Lady GaGa’s fabulous style with some funky Irregular Choice shoes?

The Irregular Choice Iced Gem Abigail Ankle is most definitely as diva-licious as Lady GaGa and if it’s turning heads you’re intent on it’ll certainly be “mission complete” with these beauties.

So we’re not all as adventurous in our style as Lady GaGa and there’s nothing wrong with that, for those budding divas why not take a look at the pretty Irregular Choice Cortesan Floral Court that still have that wow factor but are slightly more understated.

You can still be a diva in flats, it’s just how you pull it off and these Irregular Choice Duke Ice Cream Courts have a cute low heeled design that makes them just as comfortable as flat shoes with that must have diva style.
