You’re off to University...so, let’s Party!........

Every student knows that theme parties can be some of the most fun events to attend during your years at University. The parties themselves are great and the dressing up and creation of a costume can often be the highlight of the night.
Building a dressing up draw with a few key pieces for the numerous themed parties will prove itself invaluable and so useable, over and over again! So here are some great tips to building a wardrobe full of basic mixing and matching. You probably have some of these theme party “essentials” in your wardrobe already.

Read on to see our top picks!

Party: A wild or animal theme, or any party that requires a quick and cute costume.

 

How to Style it: There’s a reason animal ears are number one on our list of essentials! They’re cute, take up virtually no space and are relatively inexpensive and are super easy to style. Search for a pair of ears in the children’s section online all year round! Pop a pair on with any outfit and you’re automatically a cute kitten or sassy bunny.....



Party: Army, or hunting theme.

How to Style it: Another easy pick, grab a cheap camouflage tee-shirt or jacket from a high street or Army-surplus shop, add jeans and boots, some green and black strips on your cheeks and you’re good to go!







 

Party: 80's

How to Style it: Any ridiculously bright bottoms works for these parties, neon leggings are  your biggest asset. Your leggings/bottoms will be the focal point of your outfit but remember to go equally bold and bright with the rest of your look if you’re dressing for an ’80s theme! Make sure to check out Ebay for deals!

Party: The Only Way is Essex/ Geordie Shore.

How to Style it: A ridiculously tacky, brightly-coloured mini dress deserves a place on this list simply because it’s inexpensive, works for a variety of themes, and is easy to style for a variety of party themes. Seriously, who hasn’t been to one of the above parties?  











Party: Cowboy/ Country theme.

 How to Style it: Another easy essential that you likely already own, cowboy boots add a fun and flirty vibe to any outfit. Whether you tuck your skinny jeans into them, wear your boots with a sundress you will certainly rock at sundown.....

Colour Trends for Events 2012 to 2013

Colour Trends for Events 2012 to 2013 

Did you know that Event designs often follow fashion colour trends?....what I mean by that statement is that you will often find the more prevalent and predominant colours featured within any event theme may often follow the actual latest trends....

So what colours will stay and what will make a comeback for the remainder of 2012?

Red, white and blue have been incredibly strong this year following the Diamond Jubilee and the current 2012 Olympics. These will remain strong for the remainder of the year whilst blue will grow, red will definitely fall back next year according to a colour trend forecast.

Browns are growing in importance; they add depth and are great alternative base tones. Black meanwhile, sits on the forever eternal circle and seems in danger of being pushed aside. However, Vera Wang, designer to the superstars reported that 9 out of 15 wedding dresses made were black.... Will black be seen again as avant-garde? 

Peaceful neutrals will be strong in 2013. Whilst metallics, once very rare, have become so much a part of everyday colour language. Look out for metallics in all colours instead of the standard gold, silver and bronze. 

Whilst red becomes less important, we will see a growing influence of yellow along with orange shades - these are happy and bright and will make any event stand out from the crowd. Pink continues to make itself known for 2013.
