Going For Gold

GOING FOR GOLD
If there’s one weakness we women have (after diamonds, perhaps), it’s shoes. It’s often the one thing we don’t mind splurging our month’s money on and it even makes cutting back on those take-outs worthwhile. Once considered an ignored necessity, the current fashion brigade now redefines the popular adage as ‘shoes maketh the woman’. And of course, we at BeBEAUTIFUL had to put a fun spin on it. This month, we lusted after and invested in a pair of metallic golden brogues from Aldo and decided to show you how to style it in five fab ways. Take notes, girls.

Be a sport

Let the sporty gal in you meet your feminine other half in this ruffled nude pink one shouldered top paired with a California inspired palm print skirt in blue. Go minimal with your accessories – stacked rings and twisted white earrings are all you need. Add a final touch of spunk to your look with those gold brogues and off you go for that brunch with your besties.

Girly meets edgy

It probably sounds crazy to think that brogues could work with a dress, but doesn’t this look just nail it? Your day at the mall or a cosy lunch with your significant other could use a refresh and this ensemble shows you just how to do that. Break the solid turquoise hue with a pop of a skinny belt in bright yellow. Finish your look with an oversized ring and the gold brogues.

Rough it out in style

Reboot your drab picnic outfit with a splash of style. Think your shiny kicks might be a bit much for a day at the park? Think again. Keeping the rest of the look basic with a ditsy printed shirt and basic blue shorts - all you need is to complement your shoes with a gold hair band and you’re good to go.

Channel your inner tomboy

For those days when you feel like borrowing from your man’s style, style a pair of denim overalls with a crisp white button down. Throw on a basic black barrette to compliment the tomboy in you and last but not least, make those shiny shoes work the magic in your look.

A day at the festival

7

Fancy a day at the city’s most happening music festival and think you’ve reached a fashion rut? Take your cue from this ensemble that hits all the right notes. The quirky floral playsuit works great with the metallic shoes. With a busy print, you want to go minimal with accessories – stacked blush pink bracelets and a pair of cool sunnies work just fine.

Dotted drama

7

Make the daring print-on-print combo pop with a dash of sheen. We’ve been fans of the monochrome look for long, so we worked a polka black and white blouse with dotted trousers and accessorised the look with stacked bangles in beige and gold tones. Adding a final touch with the gold brogues, we think this look is ideal for a casual evening drink with your friends.

Changing my career to fashion at the age of 27 was a risk that I'm glad I took! I don't think there is any substitute for hard work. I can be overly shy and self conscious one day and feel like I can conquer the world the next. You have to try my caramel pudding and chicken soup and don't even dare playing charades with me—I'm super competitive. I love what I do and am always looking for a way to take it up a notch!
