The 90's Supermodel

Channel your inner 90s super model with the classic slip dress. Layer it up or leave your shoulders bare. We found three perfect slip dresses from Topshop and ASOS that will have you feeling like Kate or Naomi. Be sure to top off your 90s glam look with the limited edition Glossier Black Tie Box. It includes a sheer lip gloss, pink nail polish, graphite liner and a highlighter.

The Bombshell

Whenever we hear bombshell at The Eye Travels we think: Blown out hair, smokey eyes and a killer statement dress. The bombshell never shy's away from showing a little leg and knows how to make an entrance. Urban Decay's Naked palette is perfect for creating a smokey eye, while Jen Atkin's Ouai Soft Mousse will give your hair volume and body even a Victoria's Secret Angel would envy.

Dresses

Green Velvet Mini | Black Cross Front Maxi | Gold Sequins

Shoes

Maroon Velvet | Black Lace Ups | Black Stilettos

Trendy Tomboy

Many will agree that some of the most stylish women are tomboys. They have a certain je ne sais quoi about their persona. Think Caroline de Margaret, Chloe Sevigny and Alexa Chung. Makeup is usually minimal and they embrace their hairs natural texture. Try Nars Velvet pencil in Walkyie and dishevel your hair with Hairstory's Undressed spray for texture.

Dress/Jumpsuits

Blazer Dress | Velvet Jumpsuit | Teal Jumpsuit

Shoes

Floral Platforms | Leopard Platforms  | Embossed Sandals

The Classic LBD

The little black dress is a timeless go-to for any occasion. Much like Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn, the little black dress gives the allure of classic sophistication. A staple every woman should have in her wardrobe. Pair it with a red lip like Rouge Allure in Passion from Chanel and classically curled hair.
