Her eccentric style is the perfect combination of accessories and interesting items in one look: feathers or dresses with large polka dots, translucent clothes or corsets, tight tights and evening sets – the star fashionista combines all this so skillfully that her outfits look very feminine and elegant.

So how did Sarah’s style really change? What helped her achieve the status of “style icon”? Today we will talk about the fashion evolution of the actress who played the role of Carrie Bradshaw.

WHERE DID IT ALL START?

No matter how trite, but in the late 80s, the actress looked very stylish for that time – an oversize men’s jacket, a white T-shirt from the basic wardrobe and high-rise jeans. The perfect set was complemented with white sneakers, a blush-colored bag and fashion accessories. It was an excellent look that is still relevant today.

THE FARTHER, THE BETTER!

The next looks that amazed everyone around and attracted the attention of famous tabloids and fashion critics were combining the seemingly incompatible clothes in one look. Yes, it turns out Sarah Jessica Parker was one of those who first began to prefer the street style. Unusual hats in combination with voluminous skirts and men’s jackets, sportswear with heels and massive accessories… The star turned the most daring ideas into reality and these incompatible things became a single set that looked not only feminine, but also elegant.

DON’T BE AFRAID OF ANY EXPERIMENTS

Why not show off your amazing body shape? Both on the red carpet and in everyday life, Sarah Jessica Parker is absolutely not against transparent clothing or even its absence on some parts of the body.

The star also had those looks that were criticized – for example, a golden bodice and bright orange trousers with shoes in the same color and in addition to this suit – a multi-colored cropped jacket embroidered with stones. Then many fashion critics advised Parker to go to the circus arena.

WHITE IS NEVER ENOUGH

Another trend for Sarah is the white color, which suits her very well – floor-length dresses of a simple design or jumpsuits, a suit made of linen shorts and a cardigan, dresses in lingerie style – all those things that the actress perfectly complemented with interesting accessories and made perfect feminine looks out of them.

EVENING DRESSES

It is impossible to imagine the wardrobe of an actress without magnificent evening gowns, in which she shone both at film awards and on other equally famous star catwalks. The variety of outfits is simply captivating – from tight cocktail dresses to interesting styles with prints and mini-dresses with a bare back. The combination of different colors in one look riveted the eyes of others. All of these are invariable looks of style icon Sarah Jessica Parker.

WHAT’S GOING ON TODAY?

Today, the style of the actress is elegant outfits for festive events and the most comfortable looks for every day. The star perfectly combines her favorite jeans with shirts, blouses or T-shirts, complementing such simple sets with fashion accessories or unusual shoes, and always draws attention to detail.

For her spectacular looks, she chooses the top 6 things, including a leather jacket, many dresses, interesting design and style of a coat, a shoulder bag, of course, a lot of different shoes and accessories!

TOP UNUSUAL LOCATIONS FOR INSTAGRAM PHOTOSHOTS https://vovk.com/magazine/eu/top-neobychnyx-lokacij-dlya-foto-v-instagram/ Fri, 09 Jul 2021 10:00:56 +0000 https://vovk.com/magazine/ru/?p=15220 Summer is in full swing, and if you need a fresh photo session for Instagram, Kyiv is a perfect choice with its abundance of various locations! For both locals and guests of the capital, I‘ll share the places where you can take the most juicy shots, and recommend how to choose a look for a photoshot.

OLD CENTER IN THE GOLDEN GATE AREA

In summer, it’s time to walk around the city, eat ice cream and giggle with your girlfriends. The old quarters in the Golden Gate area are best suited for this: just go straight along Yaroslaviv Val, and then turn back and forth! As for the look, I advise you to choose palazzo trousers, a corset, an elongated jacket and an abundance of accessories. A bonus for the attentive ones will be the Kyiv cycle track, which is not so far from the Golden Gates, and a beautiful little park next to it. There is a magnificent mural, by the way!

BOTANICAL GARDEN

The botanical garden, of course, looks most beautiful in spring, during the flowering period, but in summer there are very nice paths, cozy corners and a lot of greenery. Also, it is worth getting into the greenhouse – there is an extremely beautiful jungle! This location is perfect for photos in floral print dresses, leopard jumpsuits, delicate slip dresses and safari-style suits with shorts and a jacket.

FIELDS, FIELDS

If you go a little outside the city, you can find not only forests and trails. You can get to the poppy fields near Irpin and the fields of cornflowers near Brovary, but in July we are waiting for huge bright sunflowers and green spicules of wheat! However, you should be well prepared for such a trip for photographs: put on unpretentious jeans or shorts with a T-shirt, and take a fairy dress or light-colored sundress with you. You need to take precautions for good reason: on the field you are 28 times more likely to get dirty than at a street food festival!

MINI COFFEE SHOPS IN PODIL

There are a lot of historical, fascinating and simply lovely places on Podil where you can sit comfortably in the summer heat or take a walk looking at the houses. At the same time, you don’t have to be an elegant princess: if you want, put on a short dress and sandals, choose jeans or even a tracksuit. The culture of Podil is quite informal, so the more unusual you look on Kontraktova Square, the sooner you will find like-minded people.

KYIV SEA

If you need photos against the background of big water and sunset, it is not necessary to go to Odessa. On the left bank of the Kyiv reservoir there are simply stunning points with sandy beaches and direct access to the water. Grab a flowing maxi dress made of lightweight fabric, a blanket, a hat and wine for a picnic. The evening will be chic, as well as the photo session in a dress!

Evening gowns for the Oscars are always chosen carefully long before the ceremony. The look of Charlize Theron became memorable, as she chose a tight-fitting milky dress with sequins and an open back for the ceremony.

HOW TO BUY CLOTHING ONLINE: SECRETS AND HACKS https://vovk.com/magazine/eu/kak-pokupat-odezhdu-onlajn-sekrety-i-lajfxaki-2/ Mon, 08 Feb 2021 13:44:21 +0000 https://vovk.com/magazine/ru/?p=14369 In today’s world, we have to adapt to everything every day. This is especially important now, during the global pandemic, because of which we need to get used to the new rules of life.

Online sales now occupy a leading position in retail. This is the safest, fastest and easiest way to update your wardrobe while sitting at home with a cup of aromatic coffee. That is why we want to reveal all the secrets and tell you about some life hacks that will make shopping on the Internet pleasant and profitable.

WHERE TO BUY?

The very first question that arises when you need to shop online is which online store to choose so as not to stumble upon scammers? We advise you to use only proven platforms. The perfect option is a website of the store that is also represented offline. And if you want to dive into online shopping of the Western market, remember that it is important to clarify all the nuances of delivery and know whether you are ordering goods directly or through an intermediary.

 

WHEN TO BUY?

It is important to remember that global purchases and a significant replenishment of the wardrobe should be done in a profitable way. All online stores make global sales several times a year:

  • Black Friday (late November);
  • Cyber Monday (comes right after Black Friday);
  • Christmas discounts (on the New Year’s Eve).

And of course, each company makes its sales days when it suits them best. Buyers usually follow the news of their favorite brands in order not to miss the opportunity to buy their favorite item at a nice price.

WHAT TO BUY?

Decide in advance what exactly you would like to purchase, because spontaneous purchases often turn out to be absolutely unnecessary later. It is better to choose a dress for the upcoming event than another blouse, which then will just hang in the closet.

Study the description of the thing you liked: its fabric, composition, color and other characteristics. Choose the correct size according to the size chart. If it is not there, contact the manager and clarify this matter in order to immediately choose exactly what suits you. By the way, online consultants are no different from those that we meet in the fitting rooms, and therefore you can ask them absolutely any question and you will definitely get a detailed answer.

DELIVERY

If you have already chosen the goods, it’s time to clarify all the nuances regarding delivery. This often can be either existing parcel delivery companies or a courier service. The most convenient payment method is cashless payment. It is also better to choose the delivery option that will be convenient for you.

WHAT IF…

Do not forget that there are various force majeure. Ask the manager in advance – the question of the exchange or return of goods, so that in which case you do not lose your money. This is usually the standard 14 days from the date of ordering.

Perhaps these are the basic rules that answer the question – how to buy clothes in an online store profitably and immediately get straight to the “bull’s eye”. Train and wish you a pleasant shopping.
