Style Tips from Vicky b.

[vogue] · Oct 14th, 2006, 05:04 PM

With Style queen Victoria Beckham officially releasing her style guide: That Extra Half An Inch: Hair Heels and everything in between on 20th October 2006, UK's The Sun has released some of her commandments for looking fabulous. Personally, I find this extremely useful for ladies and men alike...except that us men can't be tottering in heels.

So here is the wonderful style guide:

1.That extra half 1/2" is worth the pain: go for the highest heels you can walk in.

2.Good grooming is as important as good clothes: NEVER go out with chipped nails or bad hair.

3.Emphasise your good bits: Hide the not-so-good..For example, A waistcoat highlights toned arms and tailored trousers hide soggy knees.

4.Follow classic style must-dos: Don't let it all hang out-leave a little to the imagination.

5.Dress from the inside out: always wear great underwear-even as outerwear if you're brave enough. (guys take note: calvin klein's are the way to go, and NEVER flaunt those red strap pro stretch!!)

6.Find your own fashion fail-safe: when you're having a blated day, always have some emergency figure flatterers!!

7.ACCESSORISE,ACCESSORISE,ACCESSORISE: the right bag, shoes or sunglasses can make or transform the look of an outfit...vicky never leaves the house without sunnnies.

8.Invest in some timeless classics: vicky rarely buys anything that's obviously from a particular season's collection (with the exception of bags..duh!!)

9.Bronzed is beautiful: vicky says that if you can't afford the real thing, go to St.Tropez in a can..(note that as a super fair asian, i actually enjoy being fair skinned..in fact, I boosted my complexion with Clarins Whitening Essence...but I'm having inspiration for the tanned look again!

)

10.Borrow from another era: vicky favours fifties styles as they're tailored to give a great silhouette.

This rounds up Vicky's 10 commandments to look beautiful...I hope this helps fabulous sisters and brothers!!!!

Iono about that heel advice. Has she seen elderly women who have worn heels all of their life? I have

I'll definitely get the book because after being on tPF for awhile I'm actually starting to look forward to more pix of her!

That said, I partially agree with #1. I am getting back to higher heels but eesh, bunions...hammer toes...you pay the price later in life

I completely disagree with #9. I have porcelain skin. I don't tan. It's part of my signature look and I love it.

I think #4 is hysterical, she walks around in very little with those bolt on boobs popping out, and then advises others to dress like Grace Kelly? I still like her but geez..

I agree with #1 - That heels make all the difference. But being 6 ft barefeet, and the pain that comes with heels, I've a total failure with #1. Thank gawd flats are "fashionably acceptable" again
