Rain boots are not only practical, but are also so fun and stylish – no need to wait for the rainbow.

 HUNTER

 Their website says that The Hunter Regent symbolizes fashion, style, comfort and will turn heads in town, city or country. The boots are classic and tall, but the choice of colors is soooo wide! What I especially like is their high gloss finish.

FESSURA

Fessura is one of Italy’s premiere brands and winner of the 2008 White Award for Best Design of the Year at the Micam show in Milan. Offering patented technology and fresh new designs, Fessura makes innovative footwear. Fessura boots are simply perfect with a pair of striped socks.

 BURBERRY

Not a huge selection, but the few that is offered are made in Italy, very attractive and in a Haymarket Check pattern. The signature Nova Check print boots also feature scarlet painted hearts.

Half a year ago designers predicted what world will be wearing this spring bringing their ideas down the runway. Here are few ideas transformed into affordable pieces you can buy on-line at www.very.co.uk

Maxi dresses

Give your look a hint of glamour with Very’s selection of maxi-dresses. They’re a summer essential, morever this season is all about bold and bright prints. With a halter neck tie or strapless tube dresses is is an essential summer piece.

Gladiator sandals

There are also wide selection of other women’s shoes  available at the www.very.co.uk – UGG summer edition boots, shoe boots and gladiator sandals. Gladiator sandals  look great both with casual and dressy styles. Strap yourself into knee high gladiators  for the full-on fashion effect. The gladiator sandals are essential footwear trend for a couple of years already and now there are so many styles available – studded, with full back zips, different colors and materials. Wear them with long dresses, skirts and short shorts.

Little black dress and little white dress

Little black dress is always in style, but with arrivel of spring black is something you want to forget about. This year little white dress is season’s favorite and comes as alternative for little black dress, especially figure shape cocktail dresses. Laconic minimalism, simple, minimum details – that’s the key.

Inwear as outwear

This is probably trend coming back together with 80’s fashion revival because last time shift toward lingerie as outwear was in the 1980s. It emerges a fresh attention to tights and stockings as a feature piece and the corset-on view  in dresses and tops. In different styles this trend can make your look feminine, provocative and sophisticated. Silk, lace and feathers are materials combined for the look and looks best for going out dresses.

I think Sex and the City has been one of the most influential TV series ever. Even the outfits of all four main characters are creations of costuming team you can add some pieces to you wardrobe to get sexanthecity alike look.
 
First of all it’s all in the designer shoes – it has been a topic in many shows. No matter, sandals or pumps, they are labels that have become religious.

 
Online store www.modainpelle.com offers limited edition of Sex and the City folding shoes in pink (E-Carrie), silver (E-Charlote), purple (E-Miranda) and even gold with animal print (E-Samantha).

It’s been two years since Carrie and Mr.Big have been married when again paparazzi and fan crowds are back in the NYC streets to follow Sex And The City 2 shoot. What to expect for sure we already know – it is lots of fashion and lots of fun. As usual there will be enough drama and touching scenes about true worth of women friendship.

The movie comes out in May 2010 and since September 2009 when filming started there have been lots of rumors and pics online regarding story plots in the second movie:

- Eighties flashback when the girls met each other

- Some scenes filmed in Marocco

- Carrie finds out she’s pregnant, Big loses lose money in the financial downturn and has an affair

- Charlotte deals with babies and suspects Harry of cheating

-  Samantha will have to downsize her life due to economy crisis and the big intrigue – Is Samantha Getting Married?!?
