a shoe festival

Girls ,shoes and colours! Some how you really can't separate
the two. Mary Anne woke up one morning and stared at her shoe rack for
over half an hour. She had not found it interesting. It looked like a
terible rainbow with a uniform colour combination. Red, black, black,
black, oohh blue there, another red, animal print... Wait is that
pink? She stared at the ceiling and wondered how it would be to have a
multy coloured shoe rack. Ideas fell from the ceiling like water
through a leaking roof! She would create a shoe shopping list only for
three months. Nevertheless it was not a shoe shopping list only it had
more shoes than anything else.
Mary woke up three months ago and stared at her shoe rack for
a hour, she could hardly decide what to wear! Her room glowed! Her
excitement was something she could not explain and she had a 90%
increase in friends visiting than before, when she asked they said "
your room is like walking into a shopping mole everyday, its my kind
of hangout kind of place". Three years leter Mary anne was running her
own shoe shop! ... Now introducing "the shoe festival" there is
beauty in variaty! Changing your idea of foot wear! Giving you the
"wow I must get me those" sensation! So buckle up this will be an
interesting ride! Remember take pictures and follow on instagram

lyness luo's fashion: ELEGANCE AND COMFORTABILITY

ELEGANCE AND COMFORTABILITY
There are some people that enjoy dressing up every once and a while
and on special occasions, but not all the time. Most of the time they
just find something they want people to see them in. Well, which one
are you?
Depending on your mood, you can be either of the described characters.

Each time that you want to go out, what is it that you want to wear?
How do you want to look? What are you searching for?
These few questions bring us to today's subject. ELEGANCE and COMFORTABILITY.
Some people want to keep up elegance. Always want to be dressed up and
keeping it on fleek. Which is amazing and not at all a bad thing to
do. But,are you comfortable? Everytime you want to configure to the
newest wrinkle, always make sure it is something that will not only
exquisitely reveal elegance, but also make you feel comfortable.

Where as others would decide to wear high-heels and won't be able to
walk ,all in the name of fitting in. You can always look for the right
length of those heels that would still malleate amazingly with your
glamour. Do not punish yourself, mold your pieces together eloquently.

However, one would ask,"Is elegance only in the wearing pretty dresses
and high-heels?" My answer to that is, "NO"
You can be elegant in any form of dressing. Be it casual,
smart-casual, funky-style, formal etc. It is therefore, how you piece
together that which you want to rock. Yet still malleate
comfortability in your style.

Furthermore, if you are that person who dresses up occasionally or
everyday, not only should you look for elegance, but also
comfortability in your outfits.
And remember, looking good is about you and your decisions. Make
fashion your friend, a hobby and a sport. Feel good and shine. Till
next time..

cover: This is why we have fashion killers PART 1

A shoe colour combination is one of things that destroys most
lady's dressing enthusiasm! Have you ever gone to your shoes rack and
completely failed to pick a shoe that will bring out your out fit?
What's that?? It does not matter what shoe you wear? Is it because its
down there and everyone else looks at what's above? Well then you are
wrong! The shoes you wear play a huge and important part in looking
good!
Allow me to prove this, sometime you wear shoes that you had not
fully decided you wanted to wear but because you were in a harry you
just had to put them on! But you get the feeling your entire outfit
looks terrible despite people telling you they love your dress for
example, that's because some thing is wrong. You might wear the best
out fit but if your shoes don't smile back you won't stand out. "Wow
funny, everyone loves this dress but when I wear these shoes they
never notice me" we bet that explains it.
So what do people call a killer out fit? How should I pick my
shoes? Take your time! You might be wearing a rainbow dress ( assorted
colours ) but I'm sure there is one colour that appears to glow more
than the rest, it might be two. From there you start to pick what shoe
you will wear, red high heals? Blue? Pink? Black? How about flats?
Note therefore that you might not also have all the colours uniform to
your clothes no wonder we have colours like black or animal print that
might suit on a number of clothes although not all of them. You will
agree with me that colour is exciting, I have noticed ladies who wear
plain coloured outfit but her shoes and lipstick are the same colour!
Colour is noticeable. Look at it from the bright side, you can have a
pair of black heels or flats and be able to still bring out that
amazing coloured outfit, I wouldn't say the same for white though.
We all know that heels are uncomfortable for prolonged wearing
so most ladies have devised on a spare pair of either flats or
slippers. Do you notice how everyone can tell you changed into some
other shoe? Obviously height and a new comfortable walk is the reason,
but colour too is one of them. Imagine it you where in these awesome
classy pink high heels and now you not only shorter but missing a
colour. " Wow never pictured it like that" keep a sparkling dress cord
through out the day, carry an identical colour of flats maybe or some
colour close to the other shoes. Black will be fine but think of it
this way, if pink looks "OMG" then black will be just "oh okay" but a
pink pair of flats will be "wow" in the equation. You will look
shorter yes, but maintaining the same glows. Some might not even
notice the difference because you still sparkle like they first saw
you. You might even look better, don't get me wrong though I am not
saying black is not a good second option on the contrary it is an
awesome set, let's say its keeping a stylish advantage even when you
have an emergency for example a broken heel. so one day when that
happens to you in your red heels, smile and remove a pair of red
flats. Every one will ask " wait did she know it would happen?" Of
course you knew you look magnificent *wink*

Remember you have the right to look good!
