Shine All Night Long in Metallic Sexy Clubwear

Posted on by

Metallic sexy clubwearMetallics are big news this spring summer 2012 season, so if you want to shine all night long in the club this is the trend for you. Why not rock metallic sexy clubwear for a fashion forward look that’s sure to get you noticed.

Models at Nina Ricci sashayed down the catwalk in metallic skirts and crop tops, and Just Cavalli and Givenchy sent their models down in skin tight metallic trousers and matching tops.

Of course, metallics are a style classic that will always come in and out of fashion, but what’s interesting this year is the use of colour. Designers aren’t limiting themselves to the usual silver and gold tones, and are instead being brave and bold with metallic colour.

Bold brights are popular, as are lesser seen metallic shades such as rose gold, bronze and blue/silver.

As always, the high street has been quick to follow suit with coloured metallics seen at Topshop and River Island, and burnished bronzes, rose golds and blue/silvers at H&M and French Connection respectively.

Coloured metallics definitely make a bold style statement that isn’t for the faint of heart. This makes us at Banana Shoes sure that it’s a trend our customer will fall in love with.

We know that the Banana Shoes shopper is no shy, retiring wallflower, and that our girls aren’t afraid to stand out from the crowd.

If you want to shine on the dancefloor all night long, take a look at our coloured metallic sexy clubwear. The Espiral 4109 is available in metallic electric blue and metallic magenta, for a sexy, bold look that’s sure to turn heads.

For a softer look, the Espiral 4093 is available is a gorgeous rose gold and looks both sexy and sophisticated.

Shine on is sexy metallics this season!

Wedding Do? Are These the Perfect High Heels?

Posted on by

Summer will soon be upon us, which means lots of lovely wedding do’s to attend. A wedding represents a great opportunity to really go for it and get dressed up to the nines, but when you have two, three or more on the calendar it can quickly get expensive.

According to the website thisismoney.co.uk it costs a guest an average of £452 to attend a wedding. This includes outfits, transport, gifts and hotel rooms, and is a difficult figure to cut down.

While you might not want to wear the same outfit twice, particularly if you will see the same faces at each wedding do, you can get away with investing in just one really great pair of high heels to see you through wedding season.

At Banana Shoes, we think we’ve found the perfect pair.

The Gorgeous 28 by Pleaser shoes is a stunning suede shoe in classic black. Simple and stylish, yet with a subtle ‘bow twist’ design, these high heels will go with any wedding outfit.

Perfect with pastels or brights, bodycon dresses or prom style frocks, this has to be one of the most versatile shoes we’ve ever seen. The stunning, soft suede material means that these shoes won’t pinch or rub, and can be worn all day long without fear.

The inclusion of a hidden platform also means that they can accommodate a super sexy five inch heel, without you feeling it on the balls of your feet.

Once wedding season is over and done with, there’s no need to put these high heels into retirement. They’ll take you to dinners, clubbing and more through autumn and winter, until wedding season swings around once more. They’re even suitable to wear to work!

Versatile, comfortable and super sexy – what more could you want from the perfect wedding do shoe?
