Ladies Fashion Slipper Glamour girl Clare Rowe has put St George on the fashion map after she won the Fashions on the Field at the AAMI Golden Slipper Day at Randwick Racecourse on April 19.Miss Rowe beat nine other finalists as the best-dressed fashionista on the field.The finalists were judged on style, originality, individuality and attention to detail.And it was all thanks to her original 1940s navy crepe vintage dress, her closed-toe patent leather heels and a felt hat with a touch of sparkle that got her over the line.Miss Rowe also won the Ladies' Day competition at Canterbury Park earlier this month.``I had to wear exactly the same outfit. I couldn't make any alterations,'' she said.``I was a little worried that people had already seen it but at the end of the day everyone loved it, and it took the stress out of coming up with a new one!''She won a total of $16,000 in Myer gift cards, Rutherford jewellery, new luggage and a trip to Hayman Island.Not bad for frocking up for a day at the races.

For men only: colored jeans

Jeans Button MANILA, Philippines—Here’s a trend alert for all you guys out there: colored jeans are all the rage.They’re tongue-in-cheek, fashionable and exactly what you need to update a basic (read: boring) wardrobe.Considering that most men dress conventionally (you know, button-downs or collared pique polos with khaki slacks or blue jeans), you’re probably thinking that the look is just way too edgy for you. But most anyone can wear colored jeans, really. It simply depends on what you wear them with or how you style them.Now, if you feel that colored jeans is not age-appropriate for you, or you move in a conservative environment, you can still try out the look by choosing jeans in muted tones.A not-so-vibrant indigo or hunter green pair would be perfect in this case. Match them with basic white button-downs or dress them up with a jacket.To dress them down, just pair with a plain T-shirt.The good news is, you won’t be hard-pressed to find a color and cut to suit your style and body type. Stores like Bench, Human, Zara and People R People, to name a few, carry an interesting range of hues and styles.Create different looks by matching your choice of jeans with various garments and footwear.A blinding canary-yellow pair of jeans can look preppy and boy-next-door when matched with a checked polo shirt with a sweater on top and loafers.Bright aqua jeans, on the other hand, can look fresh and resort-like when worn with flip flops and an airy polo shirt.For a cool evening look, red jeans can be gussied up with a vest, jacket and leather shoes.Go ahead, take this chance to experiment and have a bit of fashion fun!
