Latex and heels

You know what looks great with our latex? Heels! They make you taller and make your legs look longer. Plus, what's more fun and girly than a pair of heels?

And if you're planning on attending Fetish Con in August or just plan on having a fun night out this summer, you're going to need a new pair. Come on, you deserve it! In fact, Elle just shared 28 beautiful pairs of pointy style heels we are just salivating over! So come on, let's pair up some of these beautiful shoes with our gorgeous dresses!

These beautiful coral heels by J. Crew really caught our attention. We're in love with the color coral for summer. Whether it be on the lips, fingernails or feet! It's a beautiful shade of pink. We're pairing these up with...

Our Chloe dress in turquoise! We think these two bright and summery colors would pair nicely together. 

Looking for something even brighter than those coral heels? Okay, you asked for it! Check out these neon yellow patent heels from Kate Spade. Neons are very in this summer! And we think these go best with...

Our Jillian dress! With heels so bright, it's good to go with a more neutral color. And the edgy style of the Jillian pairs perfectly with those wild heels. Can you say all eyes on you? Oh yes. 

And our third and final pick are these purple heels from ASOS. We love the geometric style of the shoes. Those clear cutouts are just too cool! We decided to be a little daring and pick... 

 Our Connie dress! Yeah, that's a whole lot of color. But you can totally pull that off in the summertime! And the lines on the Connie and the cutouts mesh perfectly. 

Which combination is your favorite? Or do have a better combination in mind? Share your favorites and suggestions with us on twitter! Be sure to use the hashtag #thelatexstore! We can't wait to hear what you have to say.

Summer fun: DIY sunglasses!

Good Morning! How was your weekend? Ours was wonderful and inspiring! Today's blog is going to be a tad bit different... We're going a bit DIY on all of you. Keep reading for a fun project that's sure to bring you some joy and flair to your summer wardrobe!

Did you know that YouTube is a great place to turn to for fashion and beauty tips? We love to browse around and see all the creative videos that various "beauty gurus" upload. That's where we found this fun project!

Embellished sunglasses are something we see all the time, even on the runway! Lucky Magazine shared some of their favorites recently. We love them! They add an element of fun and whimsy to any outfit. Do you want the look but don't want to shell out big bucks for a pair? We have the perfect project for you!

Youtuber Stilababe09 shared this incredibly fun project! All you will need is a pair of sunglasses. This a great way to up cycle a pair you already own. Or pick up a cheap pair! This basic square shaped pair are only $5.80 from Forever21!

Then hit up your local craft store and pick out some small embellishments. Online stores also carry unique embellishments. We found these adorable resin roses on Etsy! Also, studs or rhinestones would be a great alternative if you're not a flower person.

And then you simply heat up your hot glue gun and go to town! Glue your embellishments on the top of the glasses! Or for a more subtle look, glue them on the arms of the glasses. They are your own creation! And just like that, you have a new pair of sunnies for spring and summer!

If you decide to take on this project, be sure to tweet us a picture with the hash tag "summerfunwithTLS"! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Buckle up!

Happy Friday, everyone! This week has been just beautiful! We can hardly wait for the weekend!  But before we take off, here's another outfit of the week!

Are you a fan of buckle accents? Then, check out the Buckle Sheath Dress. Check out the buckles accents featured on the straps! We love the edge they give this basic dress. And even better, they are functional! They allow for some adjustment that latex wear often doesn't allow. You're going to get a really great fit on top!

The fit of this dress is just amazing. It's going to be tailored to you and your curves. It just looks beautiful on! As far as length, it will hit you mid-thigh. So, it's going to short!

We think the Buckle Sheath Dress would be an excellent choice! It's going to add a little edgy-ness to your wardrobe. It's eye catching and has a great fit. Add a great pair of heels, maybe some accessories and you're certainly dressing to impress!

Spring and Summer Trends: Lace

Did you see the Spring 2013 collections? We saw a few and noticed lace was a big trend! We love lace. It's feminine and pretty. And it comes in tons of designs and colors. Elle recently reported on the lace trend and we thought we would share our favorites! 

First, lets go in the sweet, feminine side of lace. Look at this lace cutout skater skirt from Topshop. This a beautiful piece! Here's how we would style it.  Take a basic top. We recommend one with flutter style sleeves. Tuck it in to the skirt and skip a belt on this one! You don't want to cover the beautiful design on the waistline. Add some wedges for a dressy look or brown braided sandals for an everyday look. Either way you go, we think this beautiful skirt will serve you well! 

Want to wear lace but in a more edgy way? Have you tried neon? This is one of our favorite trends! Check out this MSGM sleeveless peplum top. Wow! You certainly won't be a wallflower in this one! Add a gold statement piece necklace and a slicked back top knot to really make a statement! 

Rompers are a great, different way to dress this summer! They great for a fun, quick way to get dressed and get out the door in a hurry in the morning. This one by sea NYC has a fun vintage-y feel. The color and fringe on the edges are details that really add a lot to this outfit! Wear your hair up in a flirty, curly ponytail! And add some sandals or solid colored loafers. You sure to have some fun in this! 

So, are you going to add some lace to your spring and summer wardrobe? We know we are! 

Summertime Style: Dresses

What do you like to wear in the summertime to stay cool? Shorts? Skirts? We love both of those! But nothing beats a summer dress. They are great for casual days and dressier events. And chances are, you'll have all sorts of fun events to go to this summer! Weddings, dinners and vacations! You'll want to look your best. There are some great sun dresses out there for summer 2013. Let's take a look!

Just last week, Elle compiled a list of their favorite summer dresses. We love what they choose! Kate Spade is one of our favorite designers. We loved this Kate Spade Saturday shape shifter dress that they picked. We love the simple back and white line design. It's simple but adds some whimsy. And the cutouts on the side are very popular in dresses this year! We think this dress would work perfectly for more formal events. And the basic print allows for plenty of freedom in the accessories department!

Looking to add more color to your summer wardrobe? How about this printed floral dress from the Gap? How fun! We love the loud, blue, yellow and white print! It's simple circle skirt and short sleeved style top is pretty standard among summer dresses. It's going to be something easy to slip on quickly and head out the door. We recommend accessorizing with a small brown or black  braided belt to add to emphasis on your waist. Add pair with a pair of brown sandals for a  laid back, casual look.

This dress is so beautiful! It's a gorgeous printed maxi dress by Diane von Furstenburg. We love the vibrant pink background color and abstract white design. If this doesn't scream summer, we don't know what does! Going somewhere tropical this summer? Wouldn't this be the perfect thing to pack along to wear to dinner? Wear your hair back in a messy updo, wear a pair of wedges or dressier sandals and you have one great look.

Those were just a few of our favorites. Feel free to browse the list and see what your top 3 dresses are! Share them with us on our Twitter of Facebook! We want to know what you think!

Smokin!

It's Friday and you know what that means... The outfit of the week! Lets jump on in!  

This is the Alexa.  It's a super short dress from our Too Short Collection! And we think it's perfect for the summer!

The crew neckline is much different from our other styles. And although it isn't super revealing, we still think the Alexa is smokin! It's so sleek and tight. If you want to show off your body, this dress is the way to go!

The full zipper in the back makes getting in and out so easy! Check out the additional photos to see it in silver. We're just crazy about the Alexa! We hope you have a wonderful weekend! Don't forget to check out our spring sale! Things are going fast!
