BECAUSE I’M ADDICTED: THE FRINGE BELOW

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Because I'm Addicted..., FASHION

Last season, many designers went completely overboard with the fringe trend, which resulted in an over-fringe over trend within the final sale rack. These season, it seems like they’ve learned their lesson, as the fringe trend has been toned down. Instead of hundreds of fringe climbing the leg, it’s provided as an embellishment [...]

DRESS-A-DAY #23: MARC BOUWER

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Dress-A-Day

It’s a soft purple, but it has so much structure; a good balance. Most minis are strapless, with a wrapped skirt, but this one provides a totally different silhouette, to break away from the norm.
Pair it with sleek silver heels for a night out on the town.

BECAUSE I’M ADDICTED: OCTO-PLATFORMS

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Because I'm Addicted..., FASHION

Heels nowadays have been taking on new heights. I remember when 4-inch heels were the ‘it’ shoes. Now with every season, premiere shoe designers are adding on a layer of platform. First we had, the plain ole’ platforms, then the double platform, and now the triple platform sky-rocketing heels to 6-inch. [...]

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Dress-A-Day

Basic black, have a set, because this is not a basic LBD. The dress has a little extra umph, with a tiered skirt and dotted mesh-lined top.  But at first glance, I didn’t like the halter’s hanging strings hanging down a bare back. Though since the string is beaded, it just adds another unique [...]
