Perfecting the Peplum -Part 1
By now you must all be aware of the peplum trend which has made it's way from the runway into our high street stores. Originating from the 1940s and making a comeback in the 1980s with a more dramatic "Dynasty" look, the 2012 modern take on the peplum is minimalist with simpler lines to create an effortless look without losing any of its feminine flair.
The hourglass effect this look creates is a dream for any woman and with it being so simple to achieve, you would think by now women everywhere own some sort of peplum creation in their wardrobe. The emphasis on the waist creates a sophisticated, lady-like silhouette that will flatter any figure.

Neon Trend
Many of you must have noticed by now that neon is the blinding shade of the season. These luminous colours are an excellent way to brighten up any outfit and add character to it.
Try small doses of it in your outfit rather than all over look. While some may be able to pull it off, in most cases you'll end up looking like a fashion reject from the 80's. Some designers incorporate these colours as stripes or stitching in their designs. A small amount can go a long way.
To attract attention to this shade, co-ordinate with bright colours such as white or silver. To tone it down choose colours such as beige, brown or grey.
If you can't find the right amount or combination of neon then why not try to DIY it!! Fashion blogger Maegan of ...love Maegan.com took the neon trend into her own hands and redesigned one of her own pair of shoes to fit the trend. See how she did it here.

DIY shoes
I have an obsession with heels and I crave them so badly - probably because I never get the opportunity to wear them while trying to run around after 3 kids - that I recently bought these pair from Zara and they are so surprisingly comfortable that I might just be able to get away with leaving them on all day! The only thing that I would love to change is that middle strap! If Zara hadn't added it on, then it would make for the perfect simple ankle strap heel.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands and take on a DIY challenge. But before I make any alterations I tried out the look on photoshop.
What do you think??
