Which Snow White Star Wore It Better?

Who Wore It Better? Mulberry Resort 2012 'Neely' Dress Two 'Snow White' stars spotted in one Mulberry dress...but who is the fairest of them all? Lily Collins and Kristen Stewart have both recently acted as the fairytale character 'Snow White', in two very different adaptions of the legendary story. Lily stars as Snow White in the lighthearted and cutely romantic 'Mirror Mirror', while Kristen plays the lead in the slightly darker version, 'Snow White and the Huntsmen', due for release in June. <div> The fair maidens now face off in the same hazy blue Mulberry 'Neely' dress, which is from the label's Resort 2012 collection.<div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHDjZWXRSIsRZhB9TVbGhCLhWtqinHsPoF9OIvDpxAzMEeZxsHlRVshRJKqBHTWXK4UXu_WLDIcbippG9LByNSVEK2c0hALytYPlzopSpXtAfO6Ws47tQ7es3NT7TOzR1g5SBrvOox6_0D/s1600/mulberry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHDjZWXRSIsRZhB9TVbGhCLhWtqinHsPoF9OIvDpxAzMEeZxsHlRVshRJKqBHTWXK4UXu_WLDIcbippG9LByNSVEK2c0hALytYPlzopSpXtAfO6Ws47tQ7es3NT7TOzR1g5SBrvOox6_0D/s640/mulberry.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Lily Collins showed off a more feminine side to the blue watercolour print dress, at the Coachella Music Festival held last weekend (15 April 2012). Lily went for a more casual look, pairing her dress with beige Mulberry bow-stiched ballerina pumps and a black 'Lily' tassel bag, also from the British brand.</div> </div> <div> Kristen Stewart was the first to wear the 'Neely' dress, back in September 2011 at London Fashion Week. The raven-haired actress accented her waist with the belt from the original look, which also lifts up the hemline. Kristen added her usual edge with a pair of black buckle ankle boots, courtesy of Mulberry. Both ladies wore their hair down similarly.</div> <div> Dutch model Patricia van der Vliet is pictured in the dress for the Mulberry Resort 2012 presentation. She is styled with a black Mulberry Alexa oversized satchel, printed ankle-strap wedges and black pull-up socks.</div> <div> </div> <div> As for who wore it better, it's difficult choice...and I'm not trying to get out of picking a side, but I actually prefer this dress as it was shown originally on the model. I liked the quirky appeal of the socks and sandals and the striking buckle bag. The Mulberry 'Neely' dress costs £550 / $865 and can be purchased from mulberry.com</div> <div> </div> <div> Who do you think wore it better, and more importantly...which actress do you prefer as 'Snow White'?</div> <div> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRE1VPAyvWc94GXGnnamet0YK3w3M1PJtwZLuJpcnkqTOgpDcjQ0GT4lXs6DPd35jIxVAKQxURp3PYT_cgOmcF90OpxYHYQ-HmwXTZX2V_xP4roo68XBvaW8bG902mqy4axP9ir8OpncUH/s1600/snow+white.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRE1VPAyvWc94GXGnnamet0YK3w3M1PJtwZLuJpcnkqTOgpDcjQ0GT4lXs6DPd35jIxVAKQxURp3PYT_cgOmcF90OpxYHYQ-HmwXTZX2V_xP4roo68XBvaW8bG902mqy4axP9ir8OpncUH/s640/snow+white.jpg" width="452" /></a></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> *Pictures found via Google images.</div> <div> </div>

Fashion Tips for Men: Looking Stylish in Shorts

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">The beginning of summer is fast approaching and this year has already seen some fabulously warm and sunny days. Thus, it is time to start thinking about what to wear during the summer months and start building up a new summer wardrobe. For many men, this will include wearing shorts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">To think that wearing shorts is simple would be correct – it generally is but there are also a few firm and fast guidelines to follow before investing in a nice pair of men’s shorts. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Make Sure the Shorts Fit Perfectly:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a mistake that many men make when wearing shorts and when buying men’s clothing. Some men opt for very tight shorts (or attempt to squeeze into last year’s pair when they have gained weight) or, more typically, men will find the biggest and baggiest pair of shorts available to wear. Although this may provide a high level of comfort and ventilation it does not look good! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Instead, it is important to find a pair of shorts that fit nicely – they should be rather fitted and length wise should end just above the knee. Again, they should not be too tight or too short! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wear Shorts With Confidence:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many men find wearing shorts intimidating because many men are not used to showing so much leg. However, by finding the perfect pair of shorts that fit correctly and look good then wearing shorts will be easy. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other things to bear in mind when wearing a new pair of shorts for the first time is to select a simple style – especially for those who are not used to wearing shorts. Stick to simple block colours such as black, grey, browns and neutral tones, and don’t over-accessorise. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Think about what t-shirt or jacket best compliments the shorts and wear them with confidence. It is important always to think about the overall look of an outfit instead of mismatching random items from the wardrobe. Thus think about what t-shirts or jackets can be worn with shorts before investing in any. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">When to Start Wearing Shorts: </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">This very much depends on the type of shorts worn. Shorts can be worn as early as April in the year when we first begin to see some strikingly sunny days. Why waste such opportunities? If still unsure about wearing shorts so early in the year then try investing in different types of shorts. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">For instance, it is possible to invest in shorts made from heavier materials around this time of year – thin cotton shorts can be saved for the hotter months ahead. Wearing a heavier pair of shorts will give a sense of security. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wearing heavier shorts may also present an opportunity to recycle old and unwanted trousers and chinos from past years. Turning old trousers into shorts is a great way to prepare for summer and save money. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall it is easy for a man to start wearing shorts, even this early in the year, by simply making sure to choose a pair of shorts with a good fit that will go with lots of different wardrobe combinations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Article by Amy Fowler on behalf of Anna Davies, suppliers of <a href="http://www.annadavies.co.uk/">men’s clothing</a> such as <a href="http://www.annadavies.co.uk/m-1-barbour.aspx">jackets</a> and shorts. </div></div>
