Pink & Black Scalloped Victoria Beckham Style Dress Back In Stock

Victoria Beckham has been a busy lady recently!  When she’s not dashing around in her skyscraper heels with baby Harper on her arm, or hitting the town with BFF’s Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale, she’s busy designing her various collections and showing them at London fashion week. In fact, Victoria has made such a big name for herself in the world of fashion that she recently won the award for ‘Designer Brand Of The Year’ at the British Fashion awards.

Her new line ‘Victoria’, debuted at Harvey Nics this season, and amongst the fabulous outfits, a stand-out ‘It’ dress emerged which has now been seen on many celebrity fashionistas including Olivia Palermo, Celine Buckens and Michelle Williams. Since it went on sale at Harvey Nichols, this £595 dress has become the ultimate must-have dress and it has a very long waiting-list!

The “scalloped neck with drop waist” dress as it is known comes in pink, blue or monochrome.  Olivia Palermo was seen in the blue version, choosing to accessorise it with her Armani jacket and a pair of sheer black tights and Michelle Williams has been seen in the black and white version of the dress, which she wore to the BAFTA Los Angeles 18th Annual Awards Season Tea Party recently.

Never one to shy away from self promotion, Victoria wore the pink version herself during a shopping trip to the Balenciaga store in New York, and Celine Buckens made an appearance in the same dress at the premiere of her film ‘War Horse’ in January.

If you love the dress but don’t like the sound of the hefty price tag or just can’t be bothered to join the long waiting list, we have a very similar replica of the pink dress available now at Pinksquid Clothing for a rather reasonable £37.99.

Peplum Dresses – Get The Look!

The peplum dress was seen on many of the 2012 spring/summer catwalks and it’s definitely one of our favourite trends of the season! This 40′s style piece is super-flattering because it cinches in the waist and flatters the hips giving the illusion of a perfect hourglass figure. Celebrities are really embracing the trend this season; Victoria Beckham, Fergie and Beyonce are all fans of this beautiful & feminine look.

This is a style that looks good on most people, and as the peplum itself is a great statement piece it means you only need minimum jewellery and accessories to complete your look.

We have a gorgeous side peplum dress in stock at Pinksquid Clothing which comes in a fabulous tailored shape with modern zipped detail on the peplum for a bit of a twist on the classic look. It comes in blush pink if you want to be seen in this season’s favourite shade, or in black for a more slimming look.

Picking That Perfect Dress!

Christmas party dresses always come in luxurious fabrics and rich colours that you often can’t get away with at other times of the year so continuing with our Christmas Party Dresses blog (see below)  help and tips, we decided to dedicate a whole post on choosing the type of dress according to the material & shade!

Velvet

For 2010 velvet has made a comeback especially after Emma Watson rocked up to a glitzy event at Claridges this month with her Harry Potter co-stars wearing a beautiful Vionnet dress.

This can be a tricky fabric to wear but if you match it with lace or chiffon it can have a luxuriously rich look.

If you can’t afford to spend too much then stick to darker shades as they look more expensive and keep your make-up fresh when wearing velvet as dark tones on both your lips and eyes could end up giving you the 90’s velvet look and not the 2010 one!

Don’t overdo it- wear just one velvet piece, and never ever wear a velvet dress with a velvet jacket as it’s way too panto!

Satin

Satin is always a popular choice for Christmas, because it makes you feel instantly dressed up, sexy & feminine. The good thing about satin is it can also be worn easily throughout the rest of the year so it’s a good fabric to go for if you want to buy something that will work next season as well.

Satin drapes beautifully over the skin, but it can also cling awkwardly over bulges (no matter how small!) so do make sure you get a really good fitting dress if choosing satin. It’s often worth investing in seamless underwear and if you have lumps and bumps you want to cover invest in some great shapewear to add smoothness. It’s always a good idea to go for something that has some added stretch to it, and a cotton-mix sateen fabric is always flattering especially if it is lined.

Like with velvet don’t overdo it- stick to one or two satin pieces at a time and keep accessories to a minimum- it’s a beautiful & luxurious fabric & the fabric is enough to do the talking!

Embellished

Us girls do love a bit of sparkle at Christmas, and jewelled or sequin dresses are great way to still be able to wear a safe colour (Like black!) without looking boring. It also means you can keep jewellery to a minimum so can end up more cost-effective!

Keep the look classy and and don’t overdo it with the sparkles- you don’t want to look like you’re auditioning for strictly come dancing! If you’re curvy do only wear the embellishment in one area as all-over glitz will make you look bigger than you are.

Finally, check the quality before you buy and look for secure stitching. Leaving a trail of beads in your wake is no way to make a lasting impression!

Colour Block

Wearing just one block colour is really in style right now, and as ever the shops are full or lots of reds & purples this Christmas. For us at Pinksquid Clothing, the most interesting colour of the season has been magenta pink. It’s a great stand out colour that suits most skin tones, and will ensure you’ll look a little bit different from the rest of the ladies at the party.

If you’re going to go for one colour all over. Do make sure the colour flatters your skin tone, and if you do opt for red, don’t overdo it with the fake tan- red looks so much more striking on natural skin tones. You can really create impact with red as well by matching your lipstick to it and keeping your eye make-up to a minimum.

If you really want the colour of your outfit to make an impact you could also wear a contrasting coloured belt to show off your waist!

Printed Dresses

Printed dresses have been on trend all year, but now that the extravagent Christmas party season is here it means we can wear louder and prouder prints or unleash our inner Bet Lynch with leopard print and still look like babes!

Get set to pounce in leopard print with this beautiful chiffon number;

If you want to wear prints and still look streamlined, remember that big bold patterns are more slimming than small, and vertical prints will elongate your shape.

Get accessories in muted coloured tones, and match your tights with a colour in your dress for a polished, complete look.
