Colourblock Looks

Without a doubt, colour-blocking is a bold and fun way to dress! The secret is to make sure the focus remains on you and not solely the style technique.

 

 You may recall the height of Color-blocking trends popularity first in the 1960’s and later in the 1980’s. This past season designers revisited color-blocking techniques and ended up creating some exciting modern styles.

The public and press fell head over heels with the look, so designers continued the trend throughout their winter collections. There are three techniques to styling a colour-blocked outfit – select one:

1. Monochromatic = one color throughout entire outfit in different hues.

2. Separates = mix garments of contrasting (2-4) colors.

3. Stand-Alone = one color-blocked garment or accessory where the designer has already done all the work for you.

Christmas gift: Christian Louboutin’s Ultra Luxe Lipstick

When Christian Louboutin was asked “what woman can wear his Rouge Louboutin Lip Colour”, he replied simply, yet definitively “every woman!”.  After all, the iconic shade was formulated to complement women of all skin tones, and comes in three different finishes to suit any occasion.

 

 Just in time for the holidays, the designer re-introduces the Rouge Louboutin Lip Colour Collection Limited Edition comprised of Rouge Louboutin Lip Colours in three finishes: Silky Satin, Velvet Matte, and Sheer Voile. The jewelry inspiration comes to life with a gunmetal chain to complement the silver, gold, and black finishes of each piece.

 

For Christian Louboutin, a designer and creator of rare objects, lipstick is a woman’s magic wand. No longer tucked away between the key ring and the nail file, the Louboutin Lip Colour transforms a forgotten object into a treasured jewel.

 

 Inspired by Middle Eastern antiquities and the Art Deco movement, the solid metal body is reminiscent of a precious vial. The turret-like crown cap is topped with a small ring threaded with a silk ribbon, turning the lip colour into a necklace.
