Get Nude: The Ultra Sexy Shoe
You’ve seen them on the streets of Beverly Hills, on the Red Carpets, and in the trendiest of celebrity magazines, but I’m not talking about Kim Kardashian and her reality TV sisters. I’m talking about what’s on their feet, but not just theirs. This is about the hottest shoe trend that all the Hollywood fashionistas are embracing.
Nude platform heels are the most ideal footwear option for popular celebrities. Since their growth in popularity, there are even more variations of this wardrobe staple. The great news is that they’ve been making such a splash that most affordable shoe labels have been making these high fashion shoes for bargain prices.
It’s easy to see why celebrities love this trend, but here are my reasons why I can’t get enough of my nude platform heels.
They don’t clash
Enough with stressing over which shoes look best. You’ll never go wrong when you slip on a pair of nude heels. Not only does the color go with anything, but they’ll help draw attention to the bold color you’re wearing in your outfit. Day or night, jeans or cocktail dress; nude heels are the fool proof option to complete the perfect ensemble.
They give the illusion of a longer leg
Everybody wants long lean legs and these fabulous heels can give the illusion that you were born with them. Just like there are all different shades of skin color, there are also plenty of different nude colors. Find your own shade that most closely matches your skin tone. The personalized nude color will blend into your leg, giving the illusion that your legs are a mile long.
Comfort is key
Hollywood’s best-kept secret is the platform heel. They may seem intimidating, but give them a try. They aren’t as scary as they seem. In fact, nude shoes with a platform give you more height than the average heel and they are actually more comfortable. That’s because the platform takes a little bit of the stress off of the arch of your foot while still making you seem like a rockstar able to walk in sky high shoes.
Nude platforms are a basic accessory that are a closet essential and with New Years Eve just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to test drive this new fashion trend. Embrace the nude and you’ll be feeling confident and looking your best at all of the fabulous parties.
Let’s get nude in 2012, nude shoes that is.
Celebrity hair colorist, Anja Burton, is the mastermind behind “Ombre” hair color. Also known as Dip-Dye, this new technique that appears to naturally fade your hair color from dark to light can be seen on many of the fresh-faced “It” girls. Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore, and Olivia Wilde are just a few A-listers who’ve been seen sporting this new look around the streets of Hollywood.
According to Katy Perry, California girls are unforgettable. From their glowing tans, to their sun-kissed hair they know how to achieve that natural beach look. Unfortunately, full time jobs and a house full of kids doesn’t exactly allow much time to lie out on the sand. Instead, with Ombre you can easily pull off the surfer girl look without the sunburn. By allowing a gradual fade from dark to light, the result is hair that looks like it was faded naturally by spending the summer lounging by the waves.
While it makes sense it sure sounds, well, hokey, right? Not so says beautician, Khunying Tobnom Na Songkhla, owner of Ban Tobnom. However, she notes that her technique of breast slapping doesn’t work for everyone–”some breasts are too small to be enlarged,” she says, (at least through this non-invasive technique).
High-waisted shorts and sheer tights: light and perfect for the transition to the cold winter air. This creates a perfect vintage look.
The past year has shown a great interest in high-waisted shorts and they’ll remain very trendy in the winter months as well. So, show off your summer tan in the fall by wearing them with light sweaters or long sleeve button-ups. This allows you to show off your legs while remaining warm as the weather cools. Another tip is to wear your cutest summer dress–with a leather jacket. This style creates a great contrast of sweet and edgy.
No one will know if you’re not really wearing a dress! Get the look of a cute little dress without spending big bucks on a dress. What you can do is wear a sweater, vest, button-down, or anything else over a tank/bando and skirt that you may already own. In a photo below you can see me wearing a combination of a skirt and bando creating the illusion of a fitted black dress.
