Optical Illusion | The Figure Fixing Dress

Ever since she appeared wearing only 'that necklace' in Titanic all those years ago, Kate Winslet has been the poster girl for womanly curves. Now, getting slightly older, some of us are umm-ing and aah-ing over how she can get away with the body conscious pieces she has been wearing for her latest red carpet outings.

First there was this Stella McCartney dress which we blogged about here

Then there was this nude Stella McCartney dress (see the pattern yet?)

And tonight she sported this Stella McCartney dress in racy red. 

Another pattern emerges here, other than the fact that Stella McCartney's dresses do wonders for the figure. Firstly, black panels on the sides of a figure hugging dress, accentuate the waist, but also slim the waist and hips as the black gives the impression of a svelte silhouette. 

The second lesson to learn here is that the racer back speedo-esque high neckline amplifies the bust, and also broadens the shoulders which is great for balancing out your bottom half if you are gifted with a pear shape. 

As most of us aren't likely to spend £2,500 on Kate's dress, we suggest this stone TFNC style as a figure fixing alternative.

Top Three | Party Dresses

As party season is quickly approaching, we here at Yogoego wanted to bring you our top party picks for the season.

Retro Colour Pop

Looking to the past for inspiration is one of the season's top trends. From glamorous 1940's furs, to funky 1970's disco to 1960's minimalism there's some retro appeal for everyone. For the party season, we recommend looking to the 60's and 70's for cute colour pops and mini length dresses.

Dress £60 Lipsy, Shoes £25 Yogo Ego

This berry coloured Lipsy dress is a versatile option. The long sleeves make it a great choice for cool winter evenings, and the colour looks great against black opaques or bare legs. The wide sleeves and embellished neckline are reminiscent of 70's disco, while the ultra mini length echoes the swinging 60's - both perfect for making a party statement. 

The LWD - Little White Dress

We are all familiar with the last minute lifesaver and perfect for any occasion LBD, but this season the contrasting LWD is on the rise. We love the idea of white for winter, and if you are careful choosing a style and shape, the LWD can be just as flattering as it's little black counterpart.

Dress £141 French Connection, Clutch £46 Religion, Shoes £65 Steve Madden

The embellished cuff and one single sleeve of this French Connection style is both festive and elegant. The ribbon tie belt accentuates the waist for a flattering fit. If it's too cold for bare legs, teaming this dress with black tights would add an on trend monochrome mod feel to the look.

Sequins and Sparkle


The ultimate party statement of course has to include sequins, glitter and metallics. For a head-turning look, opt for all over sequins, or opt for a subtle sparkle with shoes and accessories.

Dress £15 Yogo Ego, Blazer £130 Selected Femme

An all over sequin dress like the above Yogo Ego style is festive and eye-catching. Avoid being over the top by styling with minimal jewellery and a simple high heeled shoe. A tailored blazer or tux jacket will add an element of sophistication (and extra warmth!) to the look. 

OR, if you are looking for an alternative to a dress to rock the party this year, look to some classic wide leg trousers or even a jumpsuit or playsuit. 

Top £65 Selected Femme, Trousers £48 Yogo Ego, Shoes £38 Yogo Ego, Clutch £25 Juno

If you are worried about your hips or legs, a wide or flared trouser could be the perfect option. A high waisted style, like the above Yogo Ego palazzo pants, elongates the legs and flatters the hips. Teamed with a glitzy sequin top and animal accessories, trousers are a grown up and elegant alternative to the classic cocktail dress. 

Style Steal | Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Not only does she have a killer body, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also has a wardrobe to die for. One of the latest British exports to be seen out and about in Hollywood, Rosie was spotted in a snug winter vest in Beverly Hills.

To copy Rosie's effortless look, simply throw a faux fur gilet over a white t-shirt and fitted blue jeans.

Vero Moda Faux Fur Gilet £32

As Seen on Film T-Shirt £25

Hudson Beth Baby Boot Power Stretch Jeans £182

The luxe mix of textures of the fur vest, suede boots and leather bag add instant glamour to a simple t-shirt and jeans while sunglasses are the perfect accessory for adding VIP quality to an outfit.

Yogo Ego Fringe Detail Boot £25

Jeepers Peepers Aviator Style Sunglasses £16

 The aviator is ideal for this pared down look as it is laid back and adds a slight rock 'n' roll edge.

Style Steal | Nicole Richie

Even while ferrying two children around town Nicole Richie never fails to look chic and stylish. Wearing a bright knit and black skinny jeans, Nicole demonstrates how to pull off an effortless transitional look for Autumn. 

Motel Rocks Lou Cropped Colour Block Sweater £45

This brand new Motel Rocks colour block sweater is almost an exact match and a bargain at only £45, compared to the Isabel Marant version Nicole is wearing. For effortless style, team with black skinny jeans or trousers like this pair from YogoEgo own brand. Comfortable and flattering, black skinnies are a style staple. 

YogoEgo Black Roma Trousers £39

To balance out the darkness of the jeans, try a tan peep toe or ankle boot. These perforated buckle up ankle peep toes by Ash are a perfect everyday shoe that look chic with skinny jeans or tapered trousers. 

Ash Fiona Perforated Leather Shoe Boots was £150 now £55

Jeepers Peepers Tortoiseshell Oversized Sunglasses £16

Just add some oversized sunglasses to top off the look with some signature star style.
