To really warm up the mood; try a smoldering shade in the form of hot papaya.  This vibrant shade teams up well with the more earthy shades of makeup such as Mac Art Eye Shadow in Notoriety. The stunning Lauren Moffatt silk dress stands on it’s own but can be warmed up when wearing Diane von Furstenberg cotton wool blazer, and accessorised with Liz Claiborne pebbled leather bag.

A good plan is to splurge on the essentials, things like a great coat and a great pair of boots for example.  Accessorise with less expensive tweaks.

A great coat can make a less expensive outfit feel like a million dollars just as a great pair of shoes can.  Try and make the thing that everyone is drawn to your over the top purchase.

Buy into things you know won’t go out of style in a second, these things can be used again next season or updated with other accessories.  Accessories such as belts, scarfs and hats are really sensible options as highstreet buys

This outfit should be planned to perfection and at least the week before the event!  Shoes should match the look perfectly and accessories should bring it to life.  think statement pieces in the shape of over sized jewellery and killer heels for an outfit that is a little subtle and classic pieces for an outfit that already does the talking!

However it doesn’t have to be an uber expensive mission in order to do so and old pieces teamed with new pieces can work just as well as a brand new outfit if you know how!

Simply stock up on the statement accessories and a few key pieces in order to add a new lease of life to your current and last season items.  Bags, hats and boots are a must-have and don’t forget that one off statement jacket.  Opt for something over the top and outrageous as this will certainly turn heads and you will feel like you have really made an extravagant purchase and one that will no doubt become an investment.

Depending on the kind of dress you will be wearing, several models of handbags might suit you and your look perfectly. For starters, a clutch is always best for evening parties. The right clutch will create that soothing elegance and make you look ‘right’ and gorgeous in an instant. A hobo can be used for rather informal night outs, but you should be careful and find the ones with proper size to make sure they complement your look perfectly.

La Regale has one of the best clutches to get for evening parties, the Rhinestone Clutch. It’s sparkling, so it is perfect for sparkling and simple dresses alike. If you are wearing white or colors, this may be the perfect handbag for you. However, avoid picking this one if you are wearing simple black dress or other darker attires.

For black dresses, J. Furmani’s Classic Beaded Bag – the black one especially – is perfect. It also available in 5 different colors including white and brown, making it absolutely easy to find the perfect one for your own night out.

All you have to do to make sure you get the perfect handbag is picture the look you will be on and find the best match. Don’t forget to consider functionalities as well because you still need to store your belongings in these gorgeous handbags.

For formal parties where you want to look gorgeous and be the center of attention, you can simply opt for metallic accessories. Some sequins, a nice clutch with metallic parts – such as the handles – and a sexy pair of black shoes, and of course a necklace and/or bracelet with crystals – if not diamonds – will certainly make you look gorgeous.

You can also go subtle for a more elegant look. Find a nice piece of black bracelet with gold linings or ornaments, add white or black – or combination of the two colors – shoes and a nice looking purse, and you are all set. Don’t forget to choose the right pair of earrings and a nice yet simple golden necklace to complete the look.

Black or white scarf can also be perfect if you are wearing the black dress on a day out. Don’t worry about accessorizing even further, because the look will be superb just by adding the scarf to your gorgeous simple black dress.
