Get The Latest Scoop On What Fashions Are Out by: Bridget Allen

Just as fashion ebbs and flows, yesterday’s fashion ins are shut out in the cold! A true fashionista keeps careful track of what items have jumped to the out list. No one wants to be seen in a trend that expired yesterday, so if you are used to wearing trendy items, you may want to keep an eye out to see what’s out! The ever revolving door that is the fashion industry regularly makes and breaks fads in the blink of an eye. Look to your fashion magazines, cable channels that specialize in clothing and style, or great articles on the World Wide Web to determine when it is time to hang up your out clothing and accessories.
What’s out this season:
1.) Say good-bye to low cut pants today
The parents of the world let out a collective sigh when the ultra low cut pant waist line was declared dead. The days of a thong peeking out from the back of your trousers are a thing of the past, so pack away your crack-baring duds for their next time around! Today’s fashionable pants still feature a lower cut that seasons past—including the popular above-the-navel waistline of the 1950s—but are well above the modesty mark than in the recent past.
2.) Personalized Items are so old school, don’t ya know
Unless that “L” on your sweater stands for Laverne, put it away! The era of personalized items, from jewelry (remember the “Carrie” necklace?) to purses to clothing is in the past. Even though you searched an hour at your local bargain basement store to find that bag with your initial embroidered in leather, it’s time to say goodbye.
3.) Newsboy Hats Are Yesterday’s News
Extra, extra, read all about it: newsboy hats are out! Put down those papers, get off the corner, and ditch the hat! Even though cooler weather has arrived, find another way to keep your head warm than covering up in a newsboy hat. Consider donning a jaunty fedora cocked to one side—it’s the latest rage!
If you are concerned about items in your wardrobe or accessory closet becoming out of date, consider purchasing classic items. Look into wardrobe staples that are permanently found on the in list, so you will not have to juggle and reevaluate your closet. Furthermore, you may find a piece of clothing or accessory that you absolutely love has been retired to the out list. Instead of giving up a favorite, consider alternative ways to turn an out into an in

Shopping Tips and Tricks to find a perfect pair of shoes by: Shelley Costello

Shopping Tips and Tricks to finding a Perfect Pair of Shoes This article will provide you with some useful shopping tips and tricks to finding a perfect pair of shoes. Following a recent advertising campaign I asked a number of women what information they would find most useful about womens shoes. After collating the feedback received the majority asked for:- How to find the right size and width How to find discount or inexpensive designer shoes Assurance of return policy/shipping service etc How to choose fashionable shoes that are comfortable Reasonable priced shoes without searching all day to compare prices Quality - how to recognise poor quality shoes HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT SIZE AND WIDTH Know your shoe size and always choose a pair in your true size. The size you usually wear. Most online shoe stores offer half sizes. Unless the store is in Great Britain or Australia, most online shoe stores list their shoes in US sizes. Check your country shoe size. For instance I live in England and my size is UK 7. In US this would be a size 9.5 and European size 40. Not all online shoe stores offer narrow or wide width shoes. If you require a narrow or wide width shoe try to choose stores that provide these. It would be disappointing to go shoe shopping and find a pair of shoes you love only to discover the store only offers standard widths. HOW TO FIND DISCOUNT OR INEXPENSIVE DESIGNER SHOES The beauty of online shoe shopping is that the majority of the top stores offer up to and more than 100 designer branded shoes. It is unrealistic to expect to get yourself a pair of Gucci shoes and only pay $30 for them. However, there are shoe stores that offer such designer names at far lower prices than you would expect to pay at a boutique or mall store. There are sites that have unique partnerships with designer houses and only offer end of season or discounted items. Be very wary of doing random searches for designer shoes online. The increase in fake or replica items is on the increase. You might end up paying a little more than some of these sites offer. However, shopping with a reputable store will ensure you get what you are paying for and not some fake or replica item that will only be very poor quality. Sadly sites offering fake goods are only after your money and not to give you any customer satisfaction in terms of service or quality product. ASSURANCE OF RETURNS / SHIPPING POLICY There a few top stores that offer free shipping [usually within the US or their own country] and free returns. Stores usually only charge for worldwide delivery. Always check the return policy before actually paying for your shoes. Reputable online stores offer excellent customer service and make great effort to ensure their customers are happy. They give you fast delivery and a free or inexpensive return service. HOW TO CHOOSE FASHIONABLE SHOES THAT ARE COMFORTABLE Almost all top internet shoe stores offer designer and branded shoes which means they are well made and have comfort elements taken into account. There will always be reports out there that high heels will ruin your feet. A poor quality pair of any shoe including high heels certainly will but you can be fashionable without sacrificing the comfort and health of your feet. Current fashion spreads across an enormous selection of styles which means you don't have to have towering high heels to be fashionable. Wedge heels are very fashionable at the moment. Due to the fact that you have a wedge heel rather than a spike or narrow high heel they are very easy to walk in. You won't feel like you have the height they actually are. Wedge heels give you all the benefits of high heels such as lengthening and slimming the look of your legs and lifting the posture of your bottom. They also come in closed toes, sandals and lots of different colours and textures with ankle ties or straps. High heels will always be fashionable and wedge heels are a great way to get the heel without the wobble if you struggle to walk in heels. Sabrina or kitten heels are quite in vogue. The heel is only up to a couple of inches in height. You do still get the heel benefits but are extremely comfortable and easy to walk in. Flat sandals or flip flops will always be comfortable if they are well made. If you don't fancy being completely flat you can get wedge flip flops or small heeled sandals. A shopping tip to remember with sandals is to choose something that flatters your feet. If you have long toes or feet, choose a flip flop that has some detail at the centre of the thong. This draws the eye away from your toes and creates width rather than length. Sandals that have a strap or band across the foot to reveal your toes will draw attention to your toes. Trying sandals that have a thong style will reveal more of your foot. Shopping tips show that an ankle tied sandal which will draw attention to your legs as well as your feet. Loafers or slip on flat shoes are always comfortable. Shoe shopping trends show that indian style satin slippers are extremely fashionable at the moment you can choose a few pairs in a variety of styles and maintain the flat heel. A good shopping tip is to choose one with a genuine leather hard sole. The quality is better and they won't fall to pieces after short while either. Mules and pumps are becoming more popular and designers are creating collections of colours and styles in these ranges. REASONABLE PRICES WITHOUT SEARCHING ALL DAY TO COMPARE PRICES Top online shoe stores are extremely competitive. Behind the scenes each store will compete for certain key words that their visitors search for. For instance if you are looking for a flip flop and go to your search engine and type in 'womens flip flops' you will see pages of listings to choose from. Each company's listing has competed against the next to get higher up on the search engine page. Their listings then entice you to click on their listing. Just because you click on the top listing doesn't mean you are getting the best store for womens flip flops. It just means that particular listing has competed better for that particular word and got to the top. Unless you have purchased shoes online and know of a few reputable stores, its best to check out a guide or read up on what to look for. Prices vary enormously online. The top online stores remain at the top because they offer their customers low prices and quality products. These stores will regularly offer sales and maintain low prices. Again, don't expect to buy a pair of Gucci shoes for $30. You can expect to get shoes far cheaper than in the stores at the mall and a greater choice of quality designers and shoes in general. A good shopping tip is to shop around the top online shoe stores. All have regular sales and heavily discounted lines. HOW TO RECOGNISE POOR QUALITY Due to the fact that online shoe stores only offer branded items, you can be assured of the quality. A good shopping tip is to look at the shoe images on the sites you are shopping at. They should be clear and a description and larger photo available for you to view. Don't waste your shopping time buying shoes from sites that offer little or no choice in terms of both styles and sizes. The store doesn't have to be the largest out there but any store should offer you a good selection to choose from. The quality of the site itself is also a good indication on what you can expect in terms of service and value for your money. If you find it impossible to locate the policy, terms of use or contact us page try and avoid. Its important to have clear policies. A shopping tip to remember is the more customer service benefits you see the better your overall shopping experience will be with them. IMPORTANT TIPS Shopping tips are important if you want to do this in a breeze. Try to decide what you want before starting out and remember some of the things outlined above. Payment is an extremely important factor and you should never give your credit card or personal details if you are not on a secure site or subscribing to something. An accurate way and most important of the shopping tips is to check that the payment page is secure is to look at your browser. It takes a second. The browser is the white box you see at the top of the web page beginning http://www.thenameofthepage.com When you have selected your item[s] and click to checkout the browser screen should change to https://www.thenameofthepage.com/paymentorcheckout.html Or something along those lines. What is important is the little letter s. This means you are on a secure page to provide your payment details. If you note these shopping tips your online shoe shopping experience will be a good one.

Look Fashionable At The Beach! by: Sher Matsen

It’s that time of year when we pack up our bags and head to the beach for the day to enjoy those warm sunrays and the refreshing sound of the lapping water. So what constitutes a good beach wardrobe. Well there are certain essentials that none of us forget. On goes the swimsuit and bathing suit cover, flip flops on our feet. Beach bag has been packed with the essentials – sunglasses, floppy hat, towel and a good book. Great – got the basics covered but what about the rest. So if we are so prepared for a day at the beach, why is it by the time we get home we look pretty worn. Here are some helpful tips to make your day at the beach fun and keep you looking fashion fresh all day and all the way home. First before you leave home, if you’ve got long hair pull it into a high pony tail or fun knot. Use some funky hair accessories that will stay in place when you’re swimming. Try a fun colored bobble or some firm fastening clips in bright summer colors. If you pull your hair up your neck will stay cool and you’ll look fresh all day with your neat hairdo. Second slather yourself in sunscreen before leaving the house, then toss the sunscreen in your bag so you can reapply after a swim or every few hours. A sunburn is not only unhealthy and painful, it’s unattractive, so don’t let yourself turn into the lobster of the day. Your sunscreen should be a SPF of 15. It doesn’t hurt to use a strong SPF on your face or your entire body if you burn easily. Your beach bag should be large enough to hold your supplies for the day. Why not get something fun and fashionable to keep you looking fashion fresh. Make sure you’ve got all the daily essentials in your bag – sunglasses, sunscreen, a good book, a floppy hat, some lip gloss, and any other makeup touch ups you’ll want. If you plan to wear eye makeup make sure it’s waterproof. Stay away from heavy foundations. If you must apply something use a bronzer moisturizer. It’s also a good idea to bring lip balm with an SPF15 to protect your lips. It never hurts to put some moisturizer in the bag. Include a snack and plenty of fluids. It’s important not to get dehydrated. Okay great we’ve got the basics covered now what about the wardrobe basics? If you’re planning to wear a swimsuit it’s usually easiest to put it on at home, that way you’re not chasing down change rooms. So great – first on goes the swimsuit. Now what to wear for a cover? Well you’ve got plenty of choices. A tank top and shorts, tank and skort, or a nice light cotton dress all work well over top. Choose something that’s easy to put on and take off, and choose fabrics that breathe to keep you cool. I also suggest including a long sleeved cotton blouse just incase you start to burn you can protect your shoulders and arms. If you’re planning on heading out later in the day without returning home you might want to toss a pair of jeans or long skirt into your bag. If your outing is going to extend into the evening you’ll want to include a sweater for the cooler evening air. If you’re worried about your evening wear getting sandy or wet at the beach, then place them in a separate bag and leave them in the trunk of your car. That way you are guaranteed they’ll remain fresh. My favorite beach look is this. And what’s perfect is it keeps me looking fashion fresh throughout the day and takes me right into the evening. First I like a swimsuit that’s got lots of support and is bright and cheerful. I throw a fitted tank on top and throw on a loose flouncy long skirt. The long skirt serves me through the evening and also works great to cover up if I’m starting to burn. I choose a lightweight material in a darker color with a pattern that accents the colors in my swimsuit. Flip flops are my footwear. Depending on where I’m heading after the beach I choose either a basic pair or one of my funky pair with rhinestones or crystals. Easy to walk in, feet breath, and terrific for an evening out. I keep a fitted light weight sweater in my car, and take a long sleeved cotton blouse down to the beach. I usually choose a long sleeved and long length blouse because it’s versatile. I can knot it to create a short blouse, wear it long as a beach cover, and put it on if I start to burn on my upper body. I usually choose white or a soft pastel depending on my other colors. I like white because it’s cool to wear and refreshing to look at. Every year I buy a fun new beach tote that’s big enough for the beach but not too big as to take it with me for an evening out. I like a fun bag that’s full of character. Since I always feel naked without my jewelry I wear fashion jewelry to the beach. That way should I loose something I won’t be out a lot of money and I won’t feel so bad. I like to keep the earrings simple and elegant. I may or may not wear a necklace. Often I’ll toss a funky wood necklace in the bag to add to the evening outfit. I like to wear a couple of fashion rings just to add the finishing touches. Now if you’re fussy about tan lines you’ll probably want to forgo the rings. I toss my watch in the bottom of my bag so I can put it on later. That’s it – simple is the key. Keep your beach wardrobe choices simple but fashionable. Think ahead so you can go from beach to an evening out without hassle. Remember to always make your fashion statement!

Celebrity Fashion For The Average Woman by: Sher Matsen

It’s never ending Jessica Simpson totes a Vuitton bag, Courtney Cox is seen in Instyle wearing a beautiful Prada dress, Hilary Swank heads down the runway wearing Calvin Klein. If that’s not enough Paris Hilton arrives on the scene with Chanel sunglasses while Jennifer Lopez is seen with Fendi. Whether it’s Versace, Chanel, Vuitton, Gucci, Dior, Calvin Klein, Prada or Fendi, how the heck is the average woman going to be able to stay in style like the stars. Let’s face it. Although we dream about owning that beautiful Vuitton handbag or that Prada dress. For most of us that’s about as far as it goes. Most of these items start in the mid hundreds of dollars and easily climb to a value of over $5000, for just one piece. For the stars there is no worry about saving to buy those designer items. For them price is no object as they freely dole it out for what ever their heart desires. But it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out most of us will never own these items. So what do we do? Well that’s easy. You and I buy items that look a lot like the designer items. Many call these knock offs and that they are but please realize there are licensed copies and then there are copies that infringe on copyrights. We do not condone any company that infringes on copyrights. We do however encourage you to shop for items that made similar to the items we see the stars wearing. It’s the only way we an look like a million bucks on our shoe string budgets. As you flip through this months Vogue or Instyle you are going to see some wonderful fashions that you are just going to have to have for the fall. Don’t worry within the next few weeks similar styles will be arriving at a boutique or Walmart near year. You can look as good as the stars for a fraction of the cost. After all are your friends of co-workers going to notice your purse isn’t quite the same shape or fabric. Are they going to notice that the dress has a slightly different cut neck or length. I think not. You’ll be close enough for most to think you’ve suddenly got designer taste. So what are you waiting for? It’s going to be a hot fashion season and you are going to be a fashion goddess this season with some savvy shopping.

5 Tips for a Great Fashion Fit by: Donna Monday

Ladies, have you ever been in a department store dressing room and talked yourself into buying an outfit that looked great – on someone else? Face it. If it doesn’t fit right in the dressing room, it won’t fit well or look good when you wear it out in public. Here are five quick and easy tips to remember when buying clothes that look good and fit well on your body type. Tip #1 – Stick to a Color Theme Wear the same color from head to toe. This will create the illusion of a long lean line. Neutral colors work best for this effect: black, brown, camel or cream. (Note: add a splash of color with a jacket or wrap) Tip #2 – Wear Your Correct Size Dress in the size you are – not the size you want to be. In spite of what you might believe, wearing clothes that are too tight or too big will make you look LARGER. Tip #3 – Be Aware of Flattering Fabrics You want to wear fabrics that skim your curves instead of cling to them. Fabrics should drape your body and make you look good, not lumpy. Tip #4 – Best Pants to Wear The most flattering pants to wear for all body types have a flat front, fall just below the navel (not hip huggers), and flare slightly at the bottom. Tip #5 – Best Skirt to Wear The most flattering skirts to wear for all body types gets a perfect grade of “A”. The A-line skirt looks good on everybody and is great for hiding figure flaws.
