Faith Hill chose a pair of black gladiator heels with a see through black stockings. She was also spotted with a ring and dark manicured nails. While her get up was fit for the Rock and Roll event she was attending, I felt that her earrings were a bit of a mismatch.

Hedi Klum styled differently and she kept the look simple only accessorizing with black pumps. Her wet hair do with smoky eyes are refreshing and stylish.

When Scarlett Johansson was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, she wore a little black dress with simple make up and a pair of dangling earrings. The main accessory she wore which gave her the to-die-for look was her Christian Louboutin peep toe heels. It has a black patent leather with clear PVC with silver studded spike details and of course the signature red sole. To get inspired by more celebrities, go to outfitidentifier.

Blogs are also a place where people share their ideas and creativity. For example, Kendi posted about black shirtdress from Talbots and showed how she would have worn it. I love the fact that she put effort from head to toe without overdoing. She had a black headband, chunky necklace, lovely heels and a brown empire waist belt to frame her shape. Putting on the Ray-Ben inspired sunglasses is another way to spice up the look.

Can I wear a black wedding dress?

It has been a tradition for brides to wear white when they walk down the aisle. However there are not hard and fast rules especially if you are an unconventional bride-to-be. If you need some courage before making this decision, meet some brides who have boldly walked this journey on off beat bride. If your parent or husband-to-be is not convince, read of some quotes that you saw on website.

Robert E Strong whose collections have been featured in publications like Style Weddings Magazine, Bride and Bloom Magazine, La Bella Bride Magazine, Ritz Carlton Magazine, Get Married Magazine, Western Mass Women’s Magazine, and Brides Magazine has presented black wedding dresses as one of his featured trend in his new fall 2010 line. His new collection was displayed at New York Bridal Market and has created a buzz. With this new rave in the industry, I am sure black wedding dresses will become more available in stores and also a more popular choice for brides.

Black dresses are not only for the gothic couples but for all who are willing to try and dares to be different. One tip to have a dramatic yet elegant look when dressed in a black gown is to go light on your make up. Avoid dark eye shadows and siren red lips. Try fresh pink neutral eye do with a light lip gloss. Choose your gown with laces, rhinestones and ribbons that can add a feminine touch. Complete your look with elegant accessories like white pearls and tiara.
If you are still unsure, try a white gown with black details instead of a full black dress. Accessorizing with black can be another alternative. Try black pearls, black gloves or black veil.

        


Most importantly, the choice is yours. After all it is your big day. Confidence and a big white smile is all you need to look stunning while your groom waits for you at the wedding alter.

A little black dress never goes out of style. As Matthew Williamson says it, “If you’re going to invest a lot of money in a piece of clothing, you want something that’s timeless – something that’s more than just a whimsical trend.”

Surprise her with the gift beside her when she wakes up. Then convince her to wear the little black dress u bought on that special day. Try having a girly time together by doing a little make over. Change a hair-do, cover up those eye bags, trim those brows and put on some lip gloss. Look beautiful together, it will be fun!

To top it up, treat her to an elegant champagne high tea or treat her to something more contemporary, like brunch with a live band. Good food never fails to bond people. This is also a chance to spend quality mother-daughter time. Remember to make reservations; most good eateries will be filling up quick!

End the day with a luxurious spa treatment. Do it the inexpensive way by doing-it-yourself! Yes, it can be pretty easy. Try this fruit salad body mask. All you need is two slices of pineapple, half a honeydew melon, a dozen of green grapes, one peeled banana and kiwi. Grind them in a juice mixer, and then leave it in the fridge for about an hour. It is all ready to be spread on your face or body! These ingredients help to remove dead skin cells and hydrates as well. Some aromatherapy can help set the mood right. Choose one that is relaxing, lavender is my hot favorite. Wash off the mask with a warm shower before going off to bed.

Here are my top three tips on how to wear a black dress.
Now read it, study it and practice it!

Tip 1,
It is unsightly to see loose pieces of cloth. Neither is it tasteful to see bulges from bare flesh.
You do not need to go through months of gruelling diet to understand what is a good fit.
Some styles are meant to be baggy, keep it that way. Some are meant to be tight fit, not mini fit.
Go to the nearest tailor if you need to, they can make magic.

Tip 2,
Get inspired by your favourite celebrity and borrow her style.
Pick up the magazines while at the hairdressers. Since it is unethical to tear the page away, use your cell phone to take a photo of what catches your eyes. Well, you can also go online and bookmark the page for your inspiration.


Tip3,
Excellence is in the details girl!
Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!
Wear a huge gold bangle with loop earrings.
Pull up your hair in the loose chignon and tighten it with Lady Gaga’s inspired Big bowtie hairclip.
Stilettos are a head turner, so learn to put them on.

Now, are you ready to walk out of you house and shine in that pretty little black dress?!
