Why You Should Own a Leather Blazer

February 22nd, 2010 / Posted in Editor's Fashion Blog by Miss Cozy

I am a big fan of shopping for classics. Rather than spend a fortune on trends that will be gone in weeks or months, I like to spend on classic items that will not date, and buy the trends at cheaper chain stores.

Secret tip #164: Make sure that you always have leather care products on hand, and that you treat your jacket a few times a year. That way, it will stay in tiptop condition, and will be virtually waterproof.

Why You Should Channel the Eighties

February 12th, 2010 / Posted in Editor's Fashion Blog by Miss Cozy

Who would have ever thought that we would look back to the eighties for fashion inspiration? That is exactly what we are doing though. The decade of power suits and socks worn with high-heeled pumps is the source of inspiration for a host of new trends.

Secret tip #158: If you are not confident enough to wear all over eighties, why not invest in a few eighties inspired accessories? Bracelets, earrings or other jewelry in bright plastics are a great choice. Bright heels, worn with contrasting socks or stockings are another great option. Remember – it is about fun, so break a few rules!

How to Play Down a Generous Bum

October 19th, 2009 / Posted in Editor's Blog by Cozy Editor

How to Play Down a Generous Bum Does my butt look big in this? That’s said to be the question that most men hate the most. Second only, maybe, to “what are you thinking?”

If you’ve stopped even asking, because you know your bum looks big, no matter what you wear, then I’ve got a few hints for you!

Firstly, never, ever wear straight leg or skinny jeans. You have to balance your curvy butt, and the only way to do that is by opting for boot cut or wide leg pants.

Next, avoid detail on your butt, or opt for small, simple pockets on jeans. Anything to flamboyant on your derriere is going to draw attention to that area. For the same reason, you should avoid wearing tops that end on the butt – again, it will draw attention to the area, and make it seem bigger. Try longer length styles if you want to cover your butt.

Secret tip #91: Have you ever noticed that even if they’re generous, body parts that are toned always look better? Try a simple trick to get your butt back in shape. While you’re driving to work, or sitting at your desk, consciously tighten and hold your butt muscles. It’ll have your butt tight and toned in no time!
