Gear Up With Summer Fun Fashion






Gear Up With Summer Fun Fashion

By Juliette Bousquet





Summer fashion has a lot to do with your own personal style. You can find some great looks to prepare you for the coming summer weather, including summer sundresses and summer casual dresses, or shorts and stretch Capri pants. The options are varied, and it all depends on what makes you comfortable. After all, comfort goes a long way toward improving confidence, and it's that confidence that makes you appear attractive! Go ahead and splash out for some great new summer styles, and love how you look when you're wearing them.

The big trend at the moment is eco-friendly clothing, but you don't have to buy it just because it's a fad. If you are eco-conscious, there are plenty of designers and clothing companies that can provide you with the hottest styles of the season in fabrics and materials that don't leave a huge carbon footprint. You can even get beautiful Italian leather shoes from a company that has been green since its inception. Isn't it nice to know that others are thinking about the environment, too, making it easier for you to find the clothing that you want to wear?

The colors you wear should always reflect your personal feelings and sense of style, though some are always going to be more popular than others. In a reflection of the green movement, the color green also seems to be a hot color for the summer. You can get beautiful summer sundresses in green and then pick up a new leather handbag to finish off your look. When you combine all of this with a pair of leather flats or sandals, you can emerge into the world with style and confidence.

And speaking of handbags, you really do have your pick for the summer months. Lock up that bulky bag you used for winter and grab a smaller leather shoulder bag for the summer months. You don't have to settle for dark colors when you can find pastels and whites to complete your summer look. You can even splurge on a great leather wristlet to carry with you on your daily walks or even to take with you for your nights on the town.

Guys can add to their wardrobes, too, with cargo shorts or jeans that can be worn anywhere. All you need to dress up your look is a good pair of leather shoes or a pair of casual trainers, and you will be set. Button-down shirts aren't just for the office, either. Pick a few that fit your sense of style, and you can wear them with pride.

Remember that any of the styles you wish to wear can always come in eco-friendly options. The green movement isn't what it used to be, and that means you can choose from the hottest styles around. Whether you want your summer casual dresses or leather laptop bags to be eco-friendly, there are great options available. All it takes is a little bit of searching and a desire to make the world a better place for future generations.

Stella McCartney sunglasses designed for convenience




Stella McCartney sunglasses designed for convenience


Author: Stefan Lindberg








After embarking on a joint venture with Gucci and creating her own self titled brand in 2001, Stella McCartney's credentials as a fashion designer were questioned. Whether she was in the position she was because of her talent or her surname? However, now with the release of over 5 seasonal ready-to-wear collections behind her and several flagship stores worldwide; Stella McCartney is a globally recognised and appreciated brand. Throughout her designs she has mixed contemporary designs with a vintage and classic outlook, to create a modern and slightly chic look.







Stella McCartney sunglasses take on a similar edge and are designed to look good but not to sacrifice the wearers comfort. The majority of her designs consist of oversize frames and colourful lenses, which combine well with a contemporary style. The bold and vintage styles can be instantly recognised as McCartney's designs, and a range of celebrities and A-List personalities have been seen wearing her sunglasses including Rihanna, Gwen Stefani and Halle Berry. This celebrity endorsement has helped the Stella McCartney brand and designs gain notoriety and an air of authority in the fashion industry.







Some of the Stella McCartney sunglasses designs have been criticised by some reviews who claim the designs are little more than oversize frames, and do not have much place in the current market. Oversize sunglasses are popular with female celebrities at the minute and the chic styles are designed for the high street and comfort rather than the catwalk or red carpet. The everyday frames are designed to be worn with a range of outfits, and not just for special occasions.







Stella McCartney teamed up with Gucci to launch her brand in 2001 and in 2009 entered a joint venture with luxury sunglasses company Luxoticca Group, to manufacture and distribute Stella McCartney sunglasses. This connection with a company which has a connection with many leading designers and brands can only be a good thing for Stella McCartney, as just to be named amongst the leading fashion houses not only raises the profile of the brand, but raises the reputation of the collections and can make them a desired product on the high street.







Stella McCartney sunglasses may not be the most desired product for some, but the designs have struck a chord with loyal consumers who have taken a liking to the oversize frames and bold lenses. Stella McCartney has made her sunglasses range accessible to all female markets, whether they are looking for a special pair of sunglasses or some frames for everyday convenient and general use. For whatever purpose you are looking at getting a pair of Stella McCartney sunglasses, the modern and chic design will add charisma and a contemporary twist to your style.

A Man's Closet, Part 1 - The Basics









A Man's Closet, Part 1 - The Basics

By Frank K Siciliano










The vast majority of men hate shopping. Not just a little bit, either. A brief perusal through the annals of history show men who have scheduled root canals, knee surgery, late days at work, and a myriad of other unpleasantries just to avoid a five-minute hop to the clothing store for a pair of pants to replace the pair of pants with the hole in the pocket (which no one can see, so no big deal, right?).


I know you have jeans, sweats, and t-shirts in your closet, but how about the proof that you can clean up nicely once in a while? Most men rely on their significant others or members of their family to stock their closet for that. They too, however, may require some guidance. Whether you are making that trip to mall, or they are, here's the shopping list:


1. Navy Blue Suit - Yes, navy. Not black. Navy. The black suit is for weddings and funerals, and even in those cases, you can get away with navy. It's nice to own a few suits. It's required you own one. Go navy.


2. Four (4) Button Down Shirts - For those of you who read my article, "Clothing Should Fit!", you are perfectly aware of how your Oxford shirt (button down) should be sized. Owning four means you have two with two backups. Here's how to break down the four:

**Two (2) White - White is the standard. We like standard.

**Two (2) Blue - One light, one dark, or two of the same. Blue is for mixing it up a bit, and trust me when I say you don't want to have every dressed-up day of your life spent in a white Oxford shirt.



3. Black Lace-up Shoes - No, not black sneakers, but black lace-up shoes. Yep. With laces. They even come with thin rubber soles now, instead of tractionless leather.


4. Black Leather Belt - I stress black, because the shoes are black. Unless you want to start playing around with fancier combinations, match the belt to the shoes. Brown with brown, black with black. Whatever with sneakers. Never brown with black. Ever. Period.


5. SOCKS THAT AREN'T FOR THE GYM!! - Every time I see someone in a suit and white sweatsocks, I want to pull them aside, drag them into the nearest store, buy them a pair of black dress socks, make them change, then resume whatever else I was doing at the time. Either that, or hit them upside the head with a blunted (or blunt?) object. To avoid either, PLEASE make sure you have black socks. Not sweatsocks, either. You can do socks that are more suited (pun intended) for this occasion without going all nylon. Trust me.


Foolproof. That's the only way to describe this list. You may need to dress this way less than a dozen times in your life, but make those moments count!

Fashion Rules for the Mature Woman Over 40









Fashion Rules for the Mature Woman Over 40

By Geraldine Looker








Colour Trends: Be on trend with this season's colours, avoid those which make the skin look sallow and are not compatible with skin tone and can be draining and aging such as pastel shades. Eye color is usually a good guide for what suits you. Choose bolder and more sophisticated shades like this season's Rococco Red, Snorkel Blue, Gold and Olive.


Underwear: Don't underestimate the importance of what you wear underneath your clothes. Without the correct fitting bra, your clothes will not hang properly. Get measured professionally. Most women in this country are wearing the wrong size bra.


Hair. A chic hairstyle is a must have. A classic bob style suits most women. Seek advice from a professional hair stylist. Look at highlights, low lights or a colour change. A professional hair cut can take years off you.


Invest in a regular manicure and pedicure. Not only will you feel good, but well manicured nails show you care about your appearance.


Make-up. Throw away old make-up. Cosmetics should be replaced regularly and make-up brushes washed. Go for a more natural day time look. For an evening look concentrate on either eyes or lips not both. Vampish eyes and bright red lips is not a look for the over 40's.


Dresses': Nothing more sexier than a classic dress. Whether, you choose an A-line style, The Shift or a Maxi Dress. The A-line style dress is very flattering for almost any figure. This is because the waistline is raised above the natural waist and settles under the bust line. Fabulous for: shorter petite figures and those who carry a little weight around the waistline. The empire line style of this dress creates the illusion of length and skims the body, camouflaging wide hips and a thick waist. The Shift dress is a timeless classic and is one of the most versatile dress styles that has stood the test of time. It's tailored enough for business and sexy enough for evening wear. A sophisticated classic black shift is a must for every woman's wardrobe. The absolute LBD. The Maxi Dress: So versatile and flattering to most figures. Every woman should possess a maxi. It is stylish and on trend. Perfect for daytime or evening. A great holiday look. Choose a glamorous flat sandal to compliment the dress and of course a pedicure!


Handbags: choose a bag shape that is in contrast to your body type. Voluptuous or curvy women would do well to choose a rectangular, longer

shape, whereas a tall, willowy, slim figure would be better off going for a slouchy, rounded one. If size-zero celebrities can get away with wearing the latest styles in oversized hand bags then if you are slight and petite, so can you! If you want to flatter your waist then choose a bag that finishes around this part of your torso. If you want to draw attention to your bust, shoulders or neck then go for a short-handled bag or a clutch


Tops and Trousers: Choose a classic shirt or longer length tops that will make you look slimmer. Forget those tight tops where you assets are on show. Trousers: Look for fluid and feminine lines, select trousers that are cut to flatter, that give an elegant silhouette. If choosing linen make sure they are lined and are a linen cotton mix so will not crease as easily.


Finally: Walk tall, be proud and be confident in yourself. Enjoy being a woman.


"While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence - which, I believe, does make the woman."

Mary Kay Ashe

The Origins of The Cocktail Dresses









The Origins of The Cocktail Dresses

By Jesse Love







Designer Christian Dior is credited with coining the term cocktail dress during the late-1940's, using the term in reference to early evening wear. Yet the style had actually been around since the mid-1920's. Cocktail parties first emerged during Prohibition, and were held in private homes or speakeasies. Contraband liquor was expensive, so of course most of the attendees were wealthy individuals who viewed the gatherings as chic social events.


For the women attending, these drinking get-togethers were too formal for regular daywear, but too informal for true evening wear, so a new fashion evolved that was initially inspired by flapper dresses. Originally designed for younger women, the new cocktail dresses were short, and typically made from silk and layered chiffon. This allowed for the women to still look fashionable, without having to get too dressed up.


These new dresses then prompted the development of unique cocktail accessories such as small handbags, simple shoes that usually color matched the dress, short gloves, and a small hat. This accessory style remained the norm up through the mid-1960's. As you know you cannot be fashionable without a few accessories to go with your outfit.


After alcohol was again legalized in 1933 and cocktail parties became more and more common, dresses began to be designed for more mature women. Silk remained the preferred fabric, but the cut of the dresses became more refined and form-fitting, evolving into the classic "little black dress" that soon became a staple in every woman's wardrobe. You had to have the classic black dress for that particular party.


Today, cocktail dresses are suitable for both cocktail parties and semi-formal events. They come in a variety of color, print and cut, with the elaborateness of the dress, length, and amount of skin revealed varying according to the context for which the dress was designed. Even though hats and gloves are no longer in fashion, a classic, well-fitted, short black dress with a clutch purse and stylish shoes remains perfect for any informal occasion where cocktails will be served.


Staying true to form our woman have been able to take this outfit and keep it classic but still able to add modern style to the ensemble. One of the things that I like most about this outfit is the fact that not only are you able to it through various accessories such as jewelery and handbags but you can also wear the outfit with no accessories. Because it is so fabulous just by itself you do not have to put together a lot of pieces to go with it.

Style Tips for Skinny, Large and Athletic People

Style Tips for Skinny, Large and Athletic People


By Kevin Thrasher




Style Tips For Skinny People

• Go to the gym and workout, with enough work even guys with smaller frames can pack on muscle (see the supplemental fitness guide).

• Wear fitted clothes. If your clothes are too baggy, they actually make you look skinnier.

• On the flip side, don't wear clothes that are TOO tight. You don't want to look like you have chicken arms/legs. Straight or boot-cut jeans good, skinny jeans bad.

• Avoid jackets/blazers with shoulder pads. These can make you look unbalanced.

• Avoid pin stripes and wear patterns and horizontal stripes that give you a wider profile.

• Jackets should not extend beyond your hip, otherwise they will make your legs look too thin. On the flip side, if the jacket is too short, it will make you look like a little kid.

• Layering is great not only for staying warm and creating a more interesting look, but it can also add some bulk to your frame, and make you look less skinny.

• Avoid wearing large belt buckles, as they will make you look skinnier by contrast.

Style Tips For Large People

• As with most men, fit is key. You don't want to wear clothes are too tight, as they can reveal some undesirable curves, but don't wear your clothes so loose that they make you look bigger than you are.

• The old cliche is that black is slimming, and it's true. If you want to appear skinnier, stick to darker hues. Avoid bright colors and bold patterns unless you don't mind drawing attention to your weight and are confident about your body.

• Don't carry excess baggage in your pockets, which will make you look bigger.

• Wear low-rise jeans, and make sure that your belly does not protrude over your waist line.

• Wearing jackets and blazers with wider shoulders can give your body a more attractive "V" appearance, and draw attention to your shoulders rather than your torso/midsection.

• Posture is key. Stand/sit up straight, roll your shoulders back, and keep your core/stomach tight. Slouching will make you look larger, in an unattractive way.

• Avoid bulky tops, and wear shirts with vertical lines. The idea is draw the viewer's eye vertically, rather than horizontally.

• A fit body is an attractive body; see the supplemental fitness guide.

Style Tips For Athletic People

• Wear fitted clothing to show off your body, but avoid wearing clothing that's too tight, unless you're going for the muscle look, which can appear a little try-hard.

• Good posture is key: keep your shoulders rolled back and down and your back straight. This will make you look stronger and more confident.

• Consider wearing tank tops if you have nice looking arms.

• The more masculine your physique, the more you can experiment with more feminine touches without appearing too feminine because of the dichotomy of masculinity vs. femininity. Try experimenting with purple or pink shirts.

Top 3 Essential And Practical Handbag Styles You Must Have


Top 3 Essential And Practical Handbag Styles You Must Have


Author: brandfashion


How can a newly launched handbag become a classic fashion item and chased by people all over the world even passed a decade? How does it become a fashion legend? Is it made of valuable feather or diamond? Nope, even more valuable than that-- its elaborate design. Following the trend of this season is certainly very important for a bag designer, while well-designed handbag which is versatile for most of women's dresses could be always on the fashion trend, and become a fashion legend finally. I think it is the most import factor you must keep in mind when you decide to buy a brand-name handbag. From my personal experience, the three handbag styles below could match most of our dresses.


1. Tote Handbag
Tote handbags are popular with many women, because they can provide a large space. Usually, there are only one or two compartments in a tote replica designer bags. Notebook, iPad, cell phone, countless cosmetic products… Women can put all their staffs into one bag. Tote hand bags generally hang in the middle of our body, around our elbows. It is a practical bag style for women daily use.


2. Clutch Handbag
Clutch handbags are the handbags without and handles or straps that people carry in their hands. It is small and smart. It only provides enough space for women's basic use. It only can allow some girl things, and maybe several credit cards. But it is really a must-have item when you have a date, a party or other formal occasions.


3. Satchel Handbag
This is the most popular handbag style for women. It usually has one or two straps goes over one shoulder and across the body. Women, especially office ladies and students love to buy the satchel handbags, because they need to carry some files, paper work home and wherever.


Although chain bags have been popular for several years, they still catch the eyes of so many fashion designers and buyers. There are so many ways of styles available which are on trend from sequined to leather, but whichever style you pick you can be sure to be the most distinctive and attractive one.


So if you look forward to something different and a way to stand out whilst still looking great, you'd better have some bags like these in your wardrobe.

Quirky New Lingerie Gift Ideas



Quirky New Lingerie Gift Ideas

By Lucy Tomkins









There are so many different options when buying underwear for your partner.

Naughty - If you're looking for something that's a bit on the naughty side then suspenders are a good option. With a belt wrapping around the waist, often over a pair of knickers, suspenders stretch down and attach to stockings, making a spicy, seductive addition to your lady's wardrobe. Nipple covers, also known as nipple tassels, are a daring, burlesque accessory. Many boyshorts, knickers, and thongs have slits in the bottom, and sometimes include ribbon to tie them shut. Evocative varieties of thongs are simply comprised of lace and a string of pearls.

Vintage - For those who prefer an old-fashioned look, a basque can enhance a woman's curves and carve out a slim waist. A basque is similar to a corset in fit, but is commonly longer and comes with shoulder straps. A corset is strapless and sexy, but often stays on with extensive lacing. However, some corsets come with hook and eye closures -- just like a bra -- as do most basques.

Flirty - Many panties are created to be flirty and playful, with bows or ruffles accentuating the underwear. Satin panties can be found with teasing words printed across the back such as "vixen," "flirt," or "cutie," and come in charming tins or gift boxes. Chemises, camisoles, and babydolls are all popular intimate-wear styles that are a pinch shorter than mini-dresses. They are usually made of satin, silk, or tulle, and extend from chest to thigh, or contain a long centre slit that begins right below the chest.

Hosiery - Hosiery, such as tights and stockings, can be topped off with garters, and make an alluring addition to your partner's undergarments collection. Tights extend from the waist to the feet, while stockings begin at the thighs. These garments come in many colours, with black and nude as two of the more popular choices, and are generally sheer. Hosiery also comes in many designs, such as fishnet, lace, and polka dot, and some even include bows.

Many websites offer collections of lingerie that allow a buyer to easily browse by taste. Whether you purchase intimate-wear through the Internet or in a store, employees are always available to offer assistance. As long as you know what size you need to purchase, buying lingerie can be an easy and enjoyable experience. Take your time and you will find the perfect gift for you and your beloved to enjoy.

What Makes New York A Hit With Fashion Fans?


What Makes New York a Hit with Fashion Fans?
by Shannon Holland

New York is world renowned as a fashionable destination. As would be expected in one of the planet's fashion capitals, a significant proportion of the economy is driven by the clothing industry and the city is the location of preference for celebrated designers, including Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs and Michael Korrs.

However, it is predominantly the offshoots of this creative industry that make this city so 'fashionable.' They have spawned a massive cultural and media scene that attracts visitors from around the world. For mainstream culture, New York offers a wealth of possibilities. Tourists can visit MOMA to marvel at just some of the 28,000 pieces of artwork on display, or perhaps head over to Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Guggenheim building to catch the current top art billing: 'Kandinsky at the Bauhaus.'

A Broadway Musical is generally at the top of a tourist's itinerary and even for genre enthusiasts there will be something worth watching. Choose a classic such as Mama Mia, or try out the newcomer 'Young Frankenstein.' To complete a perfect evening, be sure to dine in a fashionable New York eatery. Otto Enoteca Pizzeria, housed in the historic 'One Fifth Avenue' building will definitely give an authentic ambience. For lovers of classical music or Opera, The Carnegie Hall or Met will provide an unforgettable experience.

However, New York only really owns its fashion status due to the presence of a diverse sub-culture. It is when you venture 'behind the scenes,' so to speak, that you truly find the fashion credentials of a city. Move beyond the regular tourist art haunts and visit places such as the Morgan Library and Museum at 225 Madison Avenue. Here you will find a veritable feast of Degas sketches, rarely viewed by the public. Spend the evening at an 'Off-Broadway' show, easier on the pocket and stimulatingly different in content. For light entertainment why not watch 'Blind Date' at the Ars Nova Building, (though be warned, dates are selected from the Audience!) For something a little more hard-hitting, the current run of 'Black Angels over Tuskegee, (St Luke's Theatre), is getting rave reviews.

A city that is able to harbour a sub-culture, that is as large and dramatic as its mainstream offerings, is truly a fashionable destination.

Ladies Wrist Watches - Be Fashionable But Practical



Ladies Wrist Watches - Be Fashionable But Practical


By Hazel Raz




Fashion has evolved so many times in the last few centuries. However, one thing has barely changed. Women are still as fashion conscious as ever if not more. A few centuries ago, having a watch of good quality speaks of your status in life and this is very important for many people. In those days, men are most commonly seen wearing watches but as the years passed, women, too have come to love wearing this piece of jewelry or accessory. At first, ladies wrist watches were only worn for a practical reason; and that is to tell the time. It is so inconvenient for women on the go to always ask the next person for the time. There are also times that the person walking, sitting or hanging out near you does not have a watch, also. So just imagine the big inconvenience of not having one.

By having a wrist watch, you can manage your schedule better. You do not have to be late for appointments or meetings. Just imagine how angry your clients, boss or friends are going to be if you are always late for your appointments and meetings. You will be labeled as a person who does not have an organized life or probably a person who cannot be trusted with such things. Having that kind of label attached to you can really ruin your character and you as a person. Your reputation will suffer a lot because of that. This is why wearing a wrist watch all the time is not only practical but it is also a must.

These days, however, ladies wrist watches are bought and worn not only for the reasons stated above but, additionally, because of fashion. Wrist watch makers have come up with many different styles and designs, plus, they have also categorized these watches. You can buy sports watches, dress watches, casual and underwater to name some. Under these categories, you can choose from a wide variety of styles and designs and this is why choosing what kind to buy can be quite an ordeal especially if you are the kind of person who is very particular when it comes to designs and fashion. There is also an array of colors to choose from aside from styles. Sports can definitely offer you an array of colors. It has been the trend for quite some time now.

However, with all the selections to choose from, sometimes, you will be tempted to buy more than one piece of this jewelry. You will want to have one kind for each look that you want; one for work, one for sports, one for formal occasions and perhaps another one for casual wear. This will mean that you do not have to buy from the most expensive brands out there in the market. You can actually find good ones that are of reasonable price.
