Harem Trousers

Harem Trousers: Fashion or Fairytale??

Love them or loathe them, the Aladdin-inspired Harem trousers are set to stay! They are visible everywhere, from the catwalk to the high-street, and it’s time to embrace this controversial trend!

Magic carpets at the ready ladies.........here we go!!

There are a number of different looks one can achieve when considering the Harem trouser trend, and this fashion genie grants you 3 great options:

1) Occasion/Evening

Keep the colour simple, stick with block colour from head to toe, you can’t go wrong with black for evening wear, and when it comes to fabric, satin, silk and delicate fabrics are effortlessly sophisticated and glamorous.

Combine fitted, body-conscious tops with the trousers, otherwise you will swamp your silhouette, and subsequently lose your feminine proportions. To inject further glamour, add some killer heels, to elongate your legs, a clutch and some ancient Greek/Turkisk inspired jewellery.

If black's not for you, you can incorporate colour subtly, with shoes and accessories, or mix in a suitably coloured top.

This look will take you to a dinner party, a hot date, or a night out with the girls.

2) Casual/Sporty

You can play around with this look, it can be worn day time with flats or funked up with heels and accessories to transition from day to evening. Just be careful if you are on the petite side, as flats combined with the harem trouser can highlight your shortness!! High-heels are best if, like me, you are slightly vertically challenged!!

Keep the fabric comfortably soft here, thing gym pants material, cotton tops and canvas runners or daytime sandals.

It needs to be comfortable for daytime, for me comfort is everything, except when it comes to shoes, I am a high-heel whore!! They say “you look good, you feel good”, however I’m of the belief; “you feel good, you look good”!!

3) Workwear

The Harem trouser can, absolutely, translate to workwear, just tone it down with work friendly heels and accessories.

It’s important to keep the baggy/ nappyesque factor to a minimum here!! You don’t want to turn up at work with everyone thinking you should have been dropped off at the crèche and not at your desk!! Go for a more structured, tailored shape, there are lots of tailored, flattering shapes available to suit all shapes and situations!

You should team this more tailored work look with a fitted blazer, and exchange bold accessories with a work appropriate scarf,... effortless glamour at work!

So there it is ladies, The Harem Trouser; Fashion or Fairytale?........You decide.....

And as always, be brave and have fun with fashion...

Love,

My style guide to choose your jeans

Everyone should a have a couple of pairs of jeans in their wardrobe. They are so versatile and will take you effortlessly from day to evening.
If you are looking for jeans to suit your figure then look no further; For curvy girls bootleg jeans are a must as they will balance you out and reproportion your hips. Choose them very fitted at the thighs. Straight legs jeans are great for petite women or if you need to create more volume. Jeggings (half leggings, half jeans) are also a great option. For anyone who wants to camouflage a tummy, go either for a wide leg or bootleg denim with a high waist.

My top recommendations:
Buy your jeans very fitted on the thighs as they will stretch; for a slim effect choose a darker shade (the darker the shade, the slimmer you will look).

See you next week!

Vintage

Hello Fashionistas!

I am the other half of that stylish duo, who I hope you are all talking about, Maeve & Molly Style Consultants! I am so excited to start blogging on Irish Boutiques.com giving all you fashionable ladies my tips and tricks when it comes to all things stylish! I wanted to start on a high and chat with you guys about a subject I LOVE……Vintage! I figure the best subjects to blog about are the ones you know the best and after searching through vintage stores in New York, London, Madrid and Ireland I wanted to share with you some of my commandments when shopping vintage. Time, Time & More Time! –

When buying vintage the first thing you must have is time, and plenty of it! You can’t rush things when it comes to vintage as you really need to examine what you are buying and look around for the best pieces at the best price. If you are in a rush you may buy items that you later realise are damaged i.e. the lining of a handbag is torn, or that may need alerting i.e. broken zips. If you had seen these faults before buying you may have been able to get a discount to allow for the cost of alterations or dry cleaning.Smell and Feel! –

My sister thinks I am mad when I am shopping in vintage stores as I stand there smelling handbags and feeling the clothes like they are on the back of Johnny Depp!! There is good reason for this I swear! I smell the bags to see if they are real leather, if leather is what I am looking for. As most vintage bags tend to be very well made they may look like leather and have the price tag of leather but when you smell them they are just not the real deal! In that case if you still like it just try haggling with the shop assistant for a better price. As regards the clothes, I spend some time feeling them looking out for worn material or stains that I know just won’t come off after dry cleaning. Also make sure they don't smell too musty because, if so, the dry cleaning costs should be deducted from the price you pay.Look at the Labels –

Make sure you take a quick peck at the label as I have, unfortunately, seen clothes from high street stores like Penney's or Vero Moda, that may be five or six years old being sold in a vintage store! I don't think that a six year old flannel shirt from Penney's qualifies as vintage!It’s in the Sole – When it comes to vintage shoes there are a few little things to consider. A lot of vintage shoes will have leather soles, especially designer shoes, and these can get damaged by rain and wear and tear more than man-made soles. Take a look at the sole carefully and make sure the leather is not rotting; also, to make sure your vintage shoes last longer, it’s a good idea to visit your cobbler and get him to resole them as it is extremely likely that you will be walking in a few puddles in this country! As regards size, try the shoes on even if they say size 7 and you are a 5. Many of the vintage shoes I have I either bought in the States or they have a US size on them so they would not be the

We Love Boots

Because boots are the winter must have, here are the most lust-worthy styles that will be wearing through the season and beyond.

Riding high
Fabulous and functional they will be your throught the cold months. Go for ultra classic, they will never dat

Knee high boots:
Universally flattering boots. Make sure they fit around your calf instead of squeezing you. Wear them with thick tights and short skirts for a change instead of leggings and skinnies.

Available from Inspire SHoe Boutique, Enniscorthy

Ankle boots
Legs lengtheners. Go for opaque tights to lengthen you legs more or bare legged for extra wow!

Available from Inspire Shoe Boutique, Enniscorthy

My recomendations: When it comes to boots the shape does matter. Look for heels that are in proportion to your calf. And make sure to be comfortable in.

See you next week!

Winter Coats

It’s one of your major investments of the season . Now is the time to shop for a coat that will see you right through autumn and winter. A coat is the first thing others see of you and gain an impression of who you are.
Here is a selection of winter coats available in the West of Ireland.

Add some quirk to your wardrobe with a red coat: it will never go out of fashion

Military coat: arm yourself with a sharp coat Available from Frock Boutique, Wexford. http://www.myboutiquestore.com

Belted coat is the easiest glamorous waist-cincher.






Available from Okinara House fo Fashion, Moycullen Galway



Available from Pia Boutique Loughrea http://www.piaboutique.com/

The trench: functional, ageless and timeless: from day to night and worn over anything

Avaiable from Demora Boutique, Galway


My recomendations: Find the cut and colour that will suit your shape and your complexion. Often, wearing your coat open will slim you down while revealing your outfit underneath. Buy a quality winter coat, and think of it in terms of investment dressing: Quality lasts, shows and feels good.


See you next week!

Swap Parties Swishing

Greetings fellow fashion gurus, my name is Molly, one half of the very glamorous styling duo called “Maeve & Molly”.

This week I am discussing the increasingly popular phenomenon of Swap Parties.
This may sound like some activity involving couples and the swapping of car keys, but in fact it is a fun-filled way of bagging yourself a spanking (pardon the pun!) new wardrobe.

Swap parties resemble a super-stylish dinner party with friends, whereby fashion replaces food, and let’s be honest this is not an alien concept within the fashion industry!!
So how does it work?
The main ingredients should include; your favourite galpals, fashionable but unwanted clothing(stain and rip free of course!), any accessories or shoes that you no longer covet but you think your friends still covet ( Beware of the Single White Females!)

We all have items of clothing or accessories lingering, unloved, at the back of our wardrobes, so what better way is there to exchange these for other items your friends may possess.
Safe in the comfort of your own, or your friend’s house, you can haggle and barter for nearly, new additions to your wardrobe.

A few tips if considering a party;

-Invite friends who tend to have similar taste in fashion otherwise you will come home empty-handed or with something you will never wear (kinda defeats the purpose!)
-Invite friends with varying sizes, otherwise the selection of clothing will not suit all guests.
-Ensure all clothing is washed, stain and rip free, afterall this is not the local dump!!

You might wonder are there certain do’s and dont’s within the Swapping Fraternity?
Well yes, there is one particular bone of contention when it comes to swapping items, and that’s shoes...is it hygienic to swap pre-worn shoes??
My answer to this debate is swap, swap, swap, particularly if they are designer shoes, as there is a simple remedy to rid shoes of unwanted odour and bacteria, just place them in a plastic bag and pop them in the freezer, and puff the odour is gone!!! Genius....

So why not organise a party this weekend, invite your girlfriends for a fun evening of swapping shoes, clothes, accessories, unwanted gifts, even boyfriends, whatever you no longer need in your life,.. “one girl’s trash is another girl’s treasure”.

Be stylish and have fun....until next week

Some Women Just Don't Want to Settle by Julie Cobbe

Each & Every Day we are surrounded by marketing messages – “Buy this”, “Try that”, “5 Years Younger”. Our heads are buzzing with the possibilities surrounding us & our lives. The hopes we aspire to & the dreams that help define our being.
We want it all and we don’t want to settle. Think of your absolute favourite pair of Jeans. This is the pair you got right without even knowing the reasons why! It could be the cut, it could be the colour; it could be so many reasons. The point is you spent your hard earned money and you got it right! This is what we don’t just want some of the time, we want this all of the time. We no longer want to settle for mistakes or mismatches in our wardrobe or anywhere else. If fashion has thought our worn out wallets anything – it is the power of the dream. The power in that feeling of confidence when you’ve bought a dress you’ve had your eye on for ages. The flutter of expectation you feel when you think about the happy moments this Item has in store as you hand over your hard earned money.
Granted, we may not always get it right, but we have damn well put our heart and soul into our purchases. We’ve had the high hopes as we eagerly ran to the changing room. We have visualised inspired outfits concocted from the Item even before we’ve left the shop. This ladies is why in life as well as in Fashion – sometimes no matter how hard we try to make it suit us, how much we love it or how good our intentions – sometimes we have to admit defeat & tell ourselves it’s just not right for us, it is better get rid of it, giving it a better home in someone else’s wardrobe (step in Swop Shops!). It is ultimately better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.
But what these Items teach us is the importance of never settling – the perfect ones are out there, the ones we will truly love & cherish, the ones that make us utterly happy, without thin days, without compliments, without anything only the knowledge that we went out, picked it out, brought it home, got it right and loved it! Right or wrong, our reasons for purchasing are honourable; we continually have high hopes & unequivocally trust our instincts as we hand over our money. Sometimes we are right, sometimes we are wrong – but one thing’s for sure; we will never ever settle.

Julie has a Business Law Degree from UCC & following that worked as a Wedding Co-Ordinator in London where her love of Fashion really went up a notch! Julie has been involved and been involved in organizing projects such as Ireland's first ever Designer Wedding Dress Sample Sale ('Billion Dollar Brides') bringing hundreds of affordable designer wedding dresses to women across the length and breadth of Ireland! She has appeared on TV3's 'Xpose' and has written for numerous bridal magazines & newspapers on everything from fashion & weddings to life & love! Having a Passion for Fashion Julie qualified as a Style Coach in 2007 & set up Style Fish to give women back the power to feel 100% stylish themselves about all aspects of their Image, Clothes, Make-up, Hair, Shopping etc through a 7 week evening Class! It is about empowering women, giving knowledge, confidence & Inspiration in a fun and professional class setting. Julie says “Sometimes as women we can get disillusioned with what the press portrays as ‘fashion’ it can be daunting and a somewhat idealised concept, hence women get stuck in a rut of being someone they become comfortable with, but that image doesn’t necessarily excite them! That’s what Style Fish is changing!”
