Most women enjoy new additions to their wardrobe on a rather regular basis. Sooner or later, your enthusiasm for clothes shopping may wane when you shop at the mall time and time again. The fashions start to have a sameness that is uninspiring. You long for something really different, in clothes, shoes and other accessories. [...]
One fashion accessory that is just as in style as ever and can be worn by men and women with almost anything is argyle socks. These timeless socks have been around for years and do not look to be leaving the market anytime soon.
Fashion trends seem to come and go. We’ve all experienced a time where chosen attire was a bit questionable. Maybe not then, but certainly now. I was a child in the 1980s. I can still recall all the horrible ensembles adults and high school kids were wearing. Not to mention those massive hair dews. Apparently [...]
When my best friend’s daughter told her that she was going to get married, the first thing that my friend said was, “What am I going to wear?” This may seem like an odd statement but mother of the bride outfits are not typically well-known for attractiveness. Moms can take heart in knowing that things [...]
What is it with fashion designers? Do they really presume that their clothing is worth as much as they stamp on the price tag? I mean think about this for a moment. It’s completely ridiculous. And what’s even more ridiculous is that people buy this stuff. Is high fashion, really high fashion? Is a pair [...]
Juicy Couture jeans are hitting the market with a bang. We have seen them on many famous individuals like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. While the look (and the price) is not for everyone, many young ladies in the mainstream are seeking out these sought-after jeans in droves. If the trend continues, Juicy Couture jeans [...]

In shopping and fashion, the grass always seems to be greener on the other side. Some taller women with larger bone structures put together wardrobe ensembles with the hope of appearing smaller. More thin and willowy women attempt to create the appearance of curves with their clothing choices and curvier women sometimes choose styles to [...]
A few times a year, there seems to be a shift in fashions. I really don’t know much about each trend, but I see what is going on when I look at what everyone else is wearing. You never know what to buy because the trends go so quickly. Quite often you can look back [...]
The subject of ladies shoes is dear to most women’s heart. There’s nothing like a new pair of shoes to cheer you up. At some point, the serial buyer of ladies shoes is sure to find several pairs in the closet which have been worn just once or twice and now are out of their [...]
My sister is a Paris Hilton wannabe. I make this statement affectionately, perhaps even admiringly. She’s a beautiful girl known for her intelligence, motivation and talent. Sadly, early in 2004, she was in a horrendous car accident and her life was reduced to ruins.
In many ways, marketing fashion is the most improbable job for me. My friends were extremely surprised when I got involved in marketing and advertising in the first place, you see, I do not fit the profile for your average fashion marketing executive. Although over the years I have learned to dress pretty well, I [...]
Modeling talent agents are an essential for anyone interested in a career as a model. I have been modeling for three years now, and let me tell you, the greatest mistake I ever made is responding to a blind casting call instead of first consulting a modeling agent. Blind casting calls take advantage of the [...]
In the fashion world, there are certain staple wardrobe items we find indispensable. Like the little black dress that goes everywhere, for day and evening wear, so are white linen pants regarded as must-haves for most women. White linen pants have been popular for decades and never go out of style.
Bowlers are often compared (unfairly, in my opinion) to golfers in terms of their lack of fashion sense. While I can understand how some people might not be fond of polyester bowling shirts, I don’t think they’re nearly as bad as some of the outrageous outfits I’ve seen on the golf course. At least bowlers [...]
Personalized items are always popular. Whether you are giving someone a nameplate for their office door or monogrammed towels they will appreciate the gesture.
I recently spent an entire evening trying on bridesmaid dresses. I had a great time playing with the girly gowns, but nothing pleased me more than watching the bride try on her choice wedding gowns. We were at the bridal shop for hours, but the time literally flew by. One of the most interesting aspects [...]
Jessica McClintock dresses are the epitome of affordable fashion that can carry you thorough just about any formal affair. When my niece mentioned that she was looking for a gown for her prom this year, I immediately suggested that she look to Jessica McClintock dresses. Following are a couple of her favorites.
Most women have some degree of interest in style and fashion, from just wanting to stay “modern”, if not quite up to date, to those of us with more than a passing fancy, wanting to know what the latest must have items are. If you’re one with a passion for fashion, fashion magazines offer a [...]
Even though I am happy to see that there are many more plus sized models today, I am a little troubled at what the fashion industry considers to be plus size. I remember when I was a little girl my mother was often on a diet, and this was because she had the same condition [...]

If we were to all require a seasonal shopping trip to stay abreast of fashion, we’d be broke in no time. Many women rely on costume jewelry to augment costumes of seasons past in such a way as to appear to be the essence of current fashionable dress. Trendy jewelry is a niche we should [...]
The other day, I began my aerobic exercise class in what I would have expected to be standard aerobic clothing. I arrived at the gym dressed in soccer shorts, a ratty and faded t-shirt (something that I would not mind getting sweaty), and trainer sneakers. But from the moment I stepped into the aerobics class, [...]
I have always loved funky clothing and I have long wanted to turn into a career. Unfortunately, I was not sure exactly how to do this. I didn’t want to go to fashion design colleges or get into fashion merchandising. Both of these seemed like dull occupations to me. I love to make clothing by [...]
The sad thing about the town that I grew up in is that you cannot find a mullet wig anywhere. What makes that sad is that you see plenty of people with a mullet, but they are most definitely not wearing a wig. Many of the guys I grew up with had this type of [...]
It seems like in my lifetime, I have seen all of the classics of fashion go the way of the dinosaurs. Men’s hats, for example, used to be the definition of style. Every man would have to wear a hat on formal occasions. No more. Most people don’t own a single hat except for their [...]
One of the most successful brands in the world of men’s and women’s fashion and accessories is the French label, Givenchy. The company was started in 1952 by the renowned designer Hubert de Givenchy. After his retirement, its excellent reputation was later maintained by a series of high profile designers, the first of which was [...]
There was a time not so long ago when corset dresses were required wearing for women. You see, the corset dress is designed to enhance the ideal female form, giving the wearer an hourglass shape. People would not just wear them for formal occasions either. Wedding dress corsets were popular, of course, but a lot [...]
Although a lot of people at the gym I go to are pretty fashionable and well-dressed, I never used to put a lot of attention into getting the right gym workout clothes. For gym pants, I would just wear whatever pair of sweatpants I had at the time. This usually worked pretty well for me. [...]

The Juicy Couture handbag is a symbol of the entire line and there are a handful of reasons that so many of us are [...]
It’s one of the oldest issues and sins of all time. Vanity has afflicted the human race for as long as we know, or at least our documented history provides. How can we as a society steer away from it? We simply can’t. It’s not in our nature. As much as we try to preach [...]
It would seem like almost anything else in the world that the mustache is something of a fashion statement. It seems there are times when everyone has one, and other times when no one wants to have this hair on their face. When they are in style, it is important to keep them trimmed or [...]
It goes without saying that countless individuals, male and female, young and old, want to test the waters of modeling. Maybe it’s high fashion, maybe it’s swimsuit and maybe it’s commercial print. Regardless, millions of people go after modeling jobs every year. However, are you aware that not ever fashion model agency is looking for [...]
Have you ever stopped to consider the vast differences in people? Most people have two legs, two arms, a body and a head. That is where our similarities stop. Each person has their own unique facial features, hair texture, skin tone and body build. Most of all each person has their own tastes in clothing, [...]
Since I was very young, becoming a fashion designer has been my dream. I’m a very do-it-yourself kind of guy. No matter what I am working on, I like to figure out the project without consulting an expert. Sometimes I will get books or videos on it, but I rarely take classes or get formal [...]

I have never been one of those guys who are into clothes. I was raised with the notion that fashion is a girl thing. Now, although I’m not completely close-minded on this subject, I can’t say that I care much about wearing fancy attire and big names. Typical fashion clothing is not my thing! However, [...]
Retro fashions and vintage everything are the signature of today’s hip young fashion trend setters. Not for the faint of dress, the wearer of these past fashion hits automatically has panache and charisma. Vintage hats are plentiful, with decades of hat fashions from which to choose. Vintage hats, perhaps even more so than vintage clothing, [...]
Accessories are the key to a diverse wardrobe: accessory stores are where you’ll find exciting additions!
Fashion is a huge part of society. When we look at a person, we can get a sense of what their personality is just from what they are wearing. Someone who is wearing designer clothing might be wealthy or have great self confidence. A different person who is wearing a hoodie and some sweats might [...]

Women who have been in long-term relationships sometimes fret over their continuing attractiveness to their mate. When you’ve been with the same man these oh-so-many years, do you fear that he may become bored with your feminine wiles? Do you feel he no longer pays you the same attention you enjoyed in the honeymoon days? [...]
I have always liked Abercrombie Fitch clothes. I guess you’d call me an Abercrombie guy. I am the type of guy they try so hard to portray in clothing magazines. I’m in a fraternity, I lift weights, and I enjoy the brotherly camaraderie of other males as much as the affection of attractive women. I [...]
Anyone who is serous about taking up the craft of purse making knows that it is important to collect quality materials to make the products. One of the best accessories that a carry all can have is bamboo purse handles. There are plenty of reasons that this type of handle is all the rage.
