Designer Shoes For Women: Dress Like Betty Francis (Draper)

If you’re a woman, and you’re into Mad Men, you’ll no doubt be marveling at the impeccable style of Betty Francis (formerly Draper), one of the best looking housewives in television history. In her gorgeous dresses, pearl earrings and necklaces and other fabulous designer fashion accessories, Betty looks gorgeous at all times, and her clothing is functional, too.

Betty may have existed circa 1960, but her look is very now, very modern, very flattering, and can easily be pulled off. Go for dresses and skirts that are high and snug at the waist and flowy and loose at the hips. In the fall, go for fitted cashmere sweaters. Pay attention to that old adage and choose colors that flatter your hair and your complexion; Betty is blonde and fair skinned, so she can pull of darker-toned colors like plum and turquoise well.

Designer fashion accessories are the key part of any polished Betty look. Any outfit should be capped off with a pair of understated earrings, a stylish wristlet handbag or clutch, a belt tied high around the waist, a pair of white gloves, a silk scarf tied at the neck, a headband, a string of pearls, and of course a tall pair of designer shoes for women.

Designer Fashion Accessories: Tips for Wearing Belts

Think you’ve got your belt-wearing technique down pat? It matters how you wear you belt; you can look unintentionally awkward and 80s, or you can look sleek and cool. Belts can make or break outfits, so for that reason, here are some tips for wearing these important designer fashion accessories.

  1. You’ve heard the old saying, “wear a belt that matches the color of your shoes.” Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, but generally it holds true: solid brown leather shoes don’t team well with solid black belts.
  2. Similarly, pay attention to how your belts match your jewelry and other accessories. If you’re wearing a belt with a gold buckle, wear gold jewelry.
  3. Have a mix of belts in your wardrobe. A black leather belt with a silver buckle is probably the most versatile belt, but have canvas, beaded, elastic and sash belts at the ready as well.
  4. Elastic waist shorts are great if you have a narrow waist and have problems with shorts gaping at the back. Elastic looks informal, however, so dress it up with a stylish leather belt.
  5. If you have shorter legs, lengthen your body by wearing a thick buckle belt high around your waist to create the illusion of a longer bottom half (tall designer shoes for women help, too).

Designer Fashion Accessories: Summer Scarves and Wraps

It’s summertime, and believe it or not, the hottest designer fashion accessories for your spaghetti strap dresses and tank tops are scarves and wraps.

Every girl should take a lightweight scarf or wrap when she steps out into a cool summer’s night. Or day, for that matter – you can easily find yourself shivering in air conditioned public places when it’s hot out. A scarf is practical and also makes you look and feel feminine and beautiful.

When you need a summer scarf, think fabrics like silk, rayon and organic cotton to keep you a little warm and also let your skin breathe. Drape your scarf around your shoulders when it gets cool or knot it around your neck for a sophisticated touch to your outfit.  Go for summer scarves with a flowery or graffiti design, abstract or graffiti patterns or a mirage of shapes and colors.

Summer scarves and wraps are perfect for dressing up a plain black evening dress that you’ve worn out ten times before to a concert, dinner party or wedding – a silk scarf will make it look brand new. A range of designers such as Ed Hardy apparel have silk scarf collections which are sure to contain something you’ll love.

I Love My Ed Hardy Bags

I wasn’t always a fan of Ed Hardy bags. In fact, I didn’t always have a favorite brand of handbag. I’d only buy designer fashion accessories here and there; often I’d just buy sunglasses and handbags from cheap stores like Target, Conway or Daffy’s.

I only recently discovered Ed Hardy bags, and it happened by chance. For my 25th birthday, my best friend, who could see that my old handbag was starting to look a little worse for wear around the edges, presented me with the most gorgeous present a girl could ever wish for: an Ed Hardy Barbara demi shoulder bag.

This bag, I should make it clear, is no ordinary shoulder bag. It’s a faux leather bag with a stylish brown tassel hanging from it, a gorgeous flower and skull tattoo design on it, and a gold dog-leash zip closure. It’s the perfect Fall bag really; looks fab with denim jeans and sits on my shoulder just perfectly.

So this started my love for Ed Hardy bags; I now have three. The others are a cool lime green Swagger Satchel bag, which is perfect for summer, and a gray canvas “Diddy” Medium Satchel Tote, the perfect street bag. The best thing is, I got them on sale online at Fashion58.com for only $129 and $79 respectively – who said designer fashion accessories were expensive?

Fill Your Purse with The Right Stuff

It’s summer time, and that means it’s time to ditch your small handbag in favor of totes, satchels and hobo bags to carry all your summer essentials around town. Before stepping out into the sun, make sure your Ed Hardy bags contain the following:

SPF sunscreen – A sunburn is not a good look, and neither are premature wrinkles. Keep your skin safe in SPF15+ sunscreen.

Bobby pins – Nothing’s worse than those stray hairs sticking to your neck and making you even hotter. Keep your hair up with plenty of bobby pins.

Body mist – A quick burst of body spray or mist can do wonders to cool you off, make you feel fresh, and smell good, too.

Moist towelettes – Trust us, these will come in handy when you’re sweltering on the subway platform.

Lip balm – Believe it or not, lips are prime targets for sun damage. Look for a lip balm containing sunscreen and moisturizer to prevent your lips from burning and chapping.

Comb – Get yourself a travel-sized brush and comb; after rushing around in the sun, a brush will help you spruce your hair up when you get to your destination in your designer fashion accessories.

Designer Fashion Accessories: Belts

Every woman needs a great belt as part of her designer fashion accessories collection this summer. A belt is the perfect way to dress up any outfit, whether you’re wearing shorts, skirts, dresses, linen pants or jeans. Belts can be worn in a multitude of ways to flatter the feminine figure and add a touch of class to any look.

Wide Belts – To slim your waist and emphasize your curves, place a wide belt around the smallest part of your waist for a super slimming and dramatic fashion statement.

Skinny Belts – Skinny belts are often made of soft leather, rope or chain links and are perfect with dresses or skirts for a dainty and understated summer look. You can go for bright or metallic colors without overpowering your outfit.

Below-the-Bust Belts – Below-the-bust belts are hot right now; they are worn just below the bust line to emphasize cleavage and slim the waist. Keep it simple and choose belts made of natural materials like leather, alligator and suede.

Belts at the Hip – Low-slung belts around the hips are a cool and casual way to emphasize your hips and add definition to tunics, shift dresses and hippie skirts. Pair them with sassy Ed Hardy bags flung over the shoulder.

Shorts Styles

It’s officially summertime, and you know what that means. It’s hot. If you are like the rest of us, you wear shorts during the summer. Here are some ideas for how to keep cool and show off your legs.

Leather: black shorts with studs on them are faux biker, and look really good.

Tie-waist: like a skirt, but not really, you won’t need  a belt with these cute ties and they come in a variety of lengths and styles.

Denim: more relaxed, it doesn’t mean that you can’t dress these shorts up. Try a white top and designer shoes for women, perhaps gladiator heels, for a night out on the town.

Ethnic prints: tribal patterns on denim and batik shorts are funky and fun.

Evening: Sequins, and satin are way classy and can even be worn to work.

Hot pants: a shorter short, these come in a variety of styles and colors. With a high waist, you can get creative with lots of them.

There you have it, we’ve pretty much run the shorts gamut. Pair some shorts with Ed Hardy bags and designer shoes for women and you have an outfit that is ready to roar.

Accessory Zen

There’s more to going out than getting made up and wearing nice jeans. Nothing says elegance like a few accessories. Mixing a belt, some earrings, a cute bag, or some designer shoes for women are all accessories that can boost your look. Many ladies use one accessory as a centerpiece, or they add too many accessories, which can overpower an outfit. A healthy accessory balance consists of two or three.

Ed Hardy bags are totally fashionable. Paired with designer shoes for women, they can really rock your outfit. When you add accessories, make sure that they match with the textures of your outfit. Colors, tones and textures are crucial components of any accessory.  For example, nude pumps come in all different shades and you should choose one that matches well with your complexion. When wearing them, you don’t want a major color clash, but subtle tones that complement the shoes and your skin will make you look the best.

The key to wearing cute accessories is that they don’t overpower your outfit – you want them for support. Don’t wear earrings that could potentially distract from a flashy outfit, but if you’re wearing something simple, you can totally  pair it with Ed Hardy bags to make a statement.
