Beaded Fashion Jewellery - A Brief Overview

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:15:00 -0700

By Amit S

Beads as an ornament has been used since ages, both for decorating purposes as well as religious reasons. Gradually as its popularity kept on soaring, beaded jewellery designing ushered into a new era aided with better technology and enhanced creativity.

One of the best part of beaded jewellery is that it is inexpensive, colourful and give its users access to the much needed, wide range of variety which isn't available otherwise. Needless to say they make up as an attractive fashion accessory which is bound to be admired by all and sundry.

Beads can be made from natural material to synthetic and of course, precious metals. The different types of beaded jewellery that can be easily spotted amongst the consumers are beaded necklaces, beaded bracelets, beaded earrings, rings etc. In addition to ornaments, beads are also used as bookmarks, key chains and as other decorative items.

Worldwide, jewellers have begin to realize that Beaded fashion jewellery is slowly becoming an important market segment to cater. Not all the jewellery buyers go for gold or silver jewellery, many especially the younger lot (aged between 18- 30) prefer beaded fashion jewellery as well. Even though the younger lot has a high disposable income, they refrain from reckless spending, especially amidst tough economic times. On the other hand, Beaded fashion jewellery satiate their appetite for wearing the latest designs & patterns and do not burn a hole in their pocket as well.

Off late, Beaded fashion jewellery makers are making their presence felt. The demand for Indian beaded jewellery is increasing with each passing day. As the competition is getting intense, beaded jewellery makers are trying every trick in the book to remain competitive and stay ahead in the race. Stones are getting replaced by plastics, glass, shells, wood, metal, clay and other new fillers, in the hope that it will catch the imagination of a buyer and lay the foundation of a new fashion trend.

Beaded Fashion Jewellery suppliers and manufactures are unapologetically optimistic about a bright future. More money is being pumped into creating awareness about the advantages of using beaded jewellery over the traditional metals. The only interesting part worth keeping an eye would be over the performance of Indian beaded jewellery makers. Hope they continue to cross milestones one after other.

Costume Jewellery and Fashion Accessories: Industry Report 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:15:00 -0700

By Jonathan Paul White

The Jewellery and Fashion industry has remained reasonably buoyant throughout the last two years despite the global downturn. I'm going to detail the reasons for this and discuss the prospects for 2011 and beyond.

Costume jewellery (or fashion jewellery, as it also known), can be defined as any jewellery made from non-precious metals such as gold. Normally it does not contain any precious or semi-precious stone or pearls either, although in some high end cases, it might, particularly the designer jewellery market. This is not to say that it is always inexpensive, Kenneth Jay Lane's (known as the god father of costume jewellery) vintage pieces, have been known to sell at Christie's and Sotheby's for thousands of pounds, although new pieces are much more affordable. Generally however, mass market items can sell for anything between $1 and $100. Types of Costume Jewellery include earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, cuffs and rings.

'Fashion accessories' is a broader term that includes not only costume / fashion jewellery, but also includes bags, hair accessories such as fascinators, scarves and belts. Jewellery is said to account for over 30% of the overall fashion accessory market with handbags the other big contributor, at around (or just below), this level.

After years of steady growth within the industry, the global downturn contributed to a 3% fall in retail sales for 2009 to $30.7 billion. Projected figures for 2010 are more positive with sales rebounding to $32.2 billion [Source: Accessories Magazine]. Heavier than expected snowfalls, and lower temperatures across Western Europe in the run up to Christmas, may lead to a slight downgrading of this estimate, as retailers lost crucial selling days. The well documented problems with the postal service particularly in the UK, may have affected take up rates within the online jewellery industry, as consumers fretted over delivery dates. Nevertheless, taking into account that growth in the key costume jewellery markets of North America and Western Europe has been sluggish in 2010, any sort of positive growth is an achievement.

Companies within this sector should be bullish about the prospects for 2011 onwards; positive indicators that the industry will grow are as follows:

• As previously mentioned despite sluggish growth in key US and European markets, the industry managed to not only recover retails sales from the 2009 fall, but returned to pre credit-crunch growth levels.

• Austerity measures across much of Europe are likely to keep consumer spending in check. However smart retailers can take advantage of this, marketing to consumers who are trading down. Value for money is likely to be the key driver in the age of austerity; in the UK, ALDI thrived from customers who traded down from Marks and Spencers. Whilst I'm not comparing the Costume Jewellery industry to ALDI, you can hopefully see my point.

• Following on from this, brands that can offer affordable luxury are likely to prosper. For many Fashion Jewellery brands, affordable luxury is one of the key selling points. An example from outside the industry of affordable luxury thriving during tough economic times, is Costa Coffee, who experienced strong results over the last few years as many consumers continue to buy as a 'treat'.

• Emerging markets such as China and India, offer vast potential from strong brands. Growth in these economies remained strong in 2010 and is likely to continue, albeit at a slightly decreased rate. As much of the world's mass produced costume jewellery and fashion accessories are manufactured in these new economies, companies need to examine their supply chain and marketing, to best capitalise on this opportunity. Cutting out the freight costs and selling directly at the point of origin is surely a goal worth striving for.

• The price of gold and other precious metals is still very high, Gold has been increasing throughout the last decade from $255 per ounce in 2001 to a high of $1422.60 this year. Silver is a similar, if not as dramatic story. This means that costume jewellery is better value against the traditional jewellery metals.

Those positives and opportunities aside, there are certain challenges the industry face in the quest for growth:

• The key challenge faced by the industry and indeed by many parts of the retail sector. is the rising world wide material costs. From copper to wheat, prices are rocketing as the emerging economies, particularly China and India, enable their populations to move out of poverty.

• Wages in China are also on the rise, putting additional pressures on manufactures which will eventually filter down to retailers and customers.

• International pressure about their trade surplus and the looming threat of inflation, could see China eventually increase the price of the Yuan leading again to increased purchase costs.

• Fashion Accessories, particular mid-market spends, are boosted by a high percentage of impulse buys. Replicating this spend in the online jewellery space is a challenge that retailers need to face up to. There is no simple answer, the likes of Amazon and ASOS spend hundreds of thousands a year on web development, to enable linking of products, and suggestions to their customer. Smaller retailers need to also consider how they can innovate to maximise their sales.

Overall this is a challenging but exciting time for the Costume Jewellery and Fashion Accessories industry, I expect worldwide consumer spending in this sector to grow by between 4% and 5%, several new entrants to join the industry and the continued growth of online jewellery and accessories' sales. I will be revisiting this blog later in the year to see if I am correct in my analysis.

The Difference Between Fashion Jewellery and Costume Jewellery

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:13:00 -0700

By Gemma Jensen

Costume jewellery has been part of our culture for hundreds of years and the trend for people wanting to own beautiful but affordable jewellery still continues today. Another popular name for costume jewellery is fashion jewellery. However, there has been some discussion as to whether 'fashion jewellery' is an appropriate term to use and is more suited to classify 'real' or 'fine' jewellery. As a consequence there is some confusion as to the correct term to use when referring to cheap jewellery, with the most common question being ' is there a difference between costume jewellery and fashion jewellery?"

There are two lines of thought on this. Some use the terms 'fashion jewellery' and 'costume jewellery' interchangeable because they believe they relate to the same product. They say jewellery, such as necklaces, rings, broaches, earrings and bracelets, can be called either fashion or costume if it's made up of inexpensive, non-precious materials. Typically, these items are made from base metals, gold tone or silver tone with acrylic, glass, plastic, synthetic or semi-precious stones. The 'diamonds' will be made from diamante or cubic zirconium and pearls can be made from glass or plastic.

As to which term is used is purely down to preference. A fashion conscious teenager, for example, may prefer to say 'fashion jewellery' whereas the more mature woman could say 'costume jewellery'. Either way they surmount to the same thing.

However, there are those who disagree and believe fashion jewellery and costume jewellery are completely different. They say 'costume jewellery' should only be used in reference to fake jewellery, where the gold and diamonds are not real and so on. Whereas 'fashion jewellery', on the other hand, is the sort of thing you would see in fashion magazines, such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Tatler and it can be 'real'.

This type of jewellery is often made by top designers such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Thomas Sabo. Where fashion is very much at the forefront, it will be of a much higher quality and may use real gold, silver, diamonds and pearls etc...it will also be much more expensive.

Furthermore, these designers are so revered that their creations will often be seen as setting the fashion trend rather than following it. And in a few months time, you will probably see copies of their designs trickling down through the high street. Of course, silver will be replaced by base metal and diamonds will be replaced with diamante until the final item will look similar to the original but at a fraction of the quality and a fraction of the price too!

What is confusing with this train of thought, is a bracelet made up of precious material will be classified as fashion jewellery, but can be compared with an identical style bracelet made up of non-precious material - but will be classified as costume jewellery. An example of this is the Pandora bracelet than you would buy from a jewellers and the Pandora 'style' bracelets that you would buy from the high street. So basically you have two bracelets that look almost identical but with different classifications!

Is there any wonder that people are so confused? And to add to this, the glossy fashion magazines don't help much neither because they are not consistent with which term they use nor are the actual wholesale jewellery suppliers, who also refer to their stock with both classifications.

Fashion Jewellery Trends

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:12:00 -0700

By Parrish Miller

There are many unique fashion jewellery trends. Some that have been trends in the recent past. One such trend is chandelier earrings. You remember them don't you, from about five years back? They are great not only paired with evening wear but also with jeans. They can add flair to any denim look and are just as appropriate for a night out on the town.

The trend is also toward large or glitzy pieces of jewellery that tend to make a statement on their own. When wearing a statement piece of jewellery with respect to fashion jewellery trends, wear only one piece. In other words, do not pair that gorgeous (in fashion) cocktail ring with the dangle earrings described above. The look will not even appear eclectic; but miserably out-of-balance. As a rule, when wearing statement pieces keep the number always at one. Some other statement pieces include large cuff bracelets and wide band rings. Also pieces with lots of bling are best kept to the one piece rule.

Perusing trends it is apparent macrame ornamentation is being incorporated into necklaces. Also there are a good deal of lengthy necklaces being worn that fall half way to the wearer's mid-section. Knotted bead necklaces in champagne and neutrals are popular as well. Also if you are a person who likes Onyx, a large black Onyx ring as a statement piece is a good choice.

Cuff bracelets, large bangles made of either silver or Lucite are trendy. The colorful Lucite style bangle is generally mid-range in width whereas the silver bangles generally are smaller and come two, three, and four to a set. Also silver bangles and Lucite bangles are one of the best costume jewelry choices to pair with jeans or casual wear looks that incorporate a lot of denim.

Charm bracelets and regular rings incorporating heart charms in sterling silver are much admired. In fact sterling silver is a nice clean look and looks great with a wide variety of color hues. It is also less expensive than gold and is quite the popular choice with respect to a precious metal. This is probably due to the economic downturn. Many persons who are looking to purchase fine jewellery find it a less costly option than gold. Also if you are a person who prefers gold anyway; and likes the look of silver, white gold is still an option. The gold that is making the biggest wave as far as popular fashion jewellery trends though is beautiful yellow gold. It looks terrific in a necklace and may be just the right accessory draped over a white sweater.

Whether you choose less pricey options or choose to invest do not allow a sluggish economy get in the way. Jewellery is still one area of fashion that isn't expensive and can add so much to your wardrobe as well as you self-esteem. You cannot miss with any of the fashion jewellery trends mentioned within the preceding content.

Plus Size Fashion Designers to Admire

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:10:00 -0700

By Sarah Testa

When we go to watch a movie at the cinema, we rarely stop and think about all that took place behind the scenes to make the movie possible; the same often happens when we are out and about shopping for clothes, we seldom think about the person who actually created the clothes we buy.

Perhaps, some might not think it very useful to know the background of the people designing the clothes we wear, however I find it interesting and intriguing to get to know more and dig a little deep into the fabric. Just like getting to know what inspires a writer to put thoughts and ideas into words, it is fascinating to me to find out the passions and inspirations of those who design and create the beautiful clothes we wear.

That is why I am today taking a closer look at three unique and intriguing plus size fashion designers, in a bid to bring you a little step closer to those designing the awesome plus size fashions we have available on the market nowadays. Knowing 'where your clothes come from', like a piece of art, will make you cherish them more.

Through IGIGI Yuliya is now able to provide plus size women with clothes which not only make them feel beautiful, but which also accentuate their figure. Yuliya designed from the heart and is also sometimes inspired from her travels around the world and the United States.

o Do not highlight the problem areas (arm, hips and waist) with bold prints, bright colors and accessories. Horizontal stripes are not recommended if they are thick because they will only make you look wider. Thin horizontal stripes are fine because from a far they seem to look like a solid color. NOTE: color and pattern are not as essential as shape and fit.

o Embroidery is suggested to be near the skirt hemline. Cover the hips, if it is a problem area, with long tops

o Tops should slightly clingy to the waist to provide a slimming look. However, it shouldn't be too clingy or too loose either. Never wear anything that would make you look like that you are wearing a tent. Wide necklines are suggested.

* Choose fabrics that fit great and give structure. Fabrics that cling at the problem areas are of course not recommended. Heavier fabrics and heavier weight cotton are the ones suggested for plus size women. These fabric controls the body shape rather than body shape the clothes.

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:08:00 -0700

By Sarah Zammit

These items look so good and stylish that they would look sexy and alluring when you wear them. Plus size fashion is fast becoming a hit since clothing companies realized that there are plenty of big women who want to look gorgeous and say goodbye to shapeless plus size apparel. This summer, greet the day and awe the people you meet with your summer wardrobe.

Wear Capris Pants

Cropped pants, otherwise known as capris, are longer than shorts and shorter than pants and end in between your knee and ankle. When you wear them, they perfectly fit your legs and yet they are loosely fit when it reaches your calf thus accentuating it more. Because its summer, choose cotton-made capris and pair them with a blouse or tank top made of light fabric. If you choose dark-colored capris, your top must have a lighter shade. Make sure your top does not have long sleeves or is not a sweater because these do not look fashionable when paired with capris.

Stylish Ponchos

Ponchos have made a comeback nowadays after being a fashion hit four decades ago. It is great for summer especially when you are wearing a sleeveless dress, tank top or a bathing suit. Ponchos can also nail that fun yet formal look. Choose ponchos that are crocheted, or made of light fabric such as cotton and preferably, ones in pastel colors. Ponchos are great during daytime and even in the evening when they can be elegantly worn over a dark dress without sleeves.

Casual Chic Styles

Plus size fashion for the summer can also include a short-sleeved cotton sweater paired with slacks. You can go to work with it and manage to create a look that says you are ready for summer fun even when you are working hard in the office. You can don a sleeveless blouse and wear a sweater with short sleeves over it. Go for the usual summer colors - light shades and pastels. You can add an accessory to the outfit such as a scarf or a pair of dangling earrings.

The Essential Swimsuit

Summer will never be complete without going to the beach and wearing a plus size swimsuit. Nowadays, there are stylish and beautifully designed plus size bathing suits that hide problem areas in the body. Choose a one piece bathing suit that has smaller prints or designs. Go for darker shades so to achieve the illusion of a more slender frame. Just because you are on the heavier side does not mean you cannot buy swimwear that would make you look good.

Plus Size Fashion Shopping Online

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:07:00 -0700

By Maya Matthews

I am often surprised by people's reaction when I tell them that I bought my latest dress off the Internet. They cannot understand how I could take the 'risk' of buying something so personal online, without even touching or trying it on first. This is the most common feedback I get from many friends and relatives when they compliment me on my new outfit, ask me where I got it from and I tell them... online!

The thing is, most of this feedback comes from people who are size 10 or less and who do not understand how much of a distressing experience clothes shopping can be for a lady who is size 20.

I remember when I was younger hating going shopping with cousins or friends. Most of the time I used to end up being their shopping assistant instead of their fellow shopper; not finding anything that I liked which was in my size, would usually leave me no other option. I could not understand why most stores could not open their eyes real wide and realise that most women are curvy! It felt (and still does feel) so unfair to me that most of the fashionable styles of clothing are not available for plus sized women.

My shopping experience changed from night to day when I discovered plus size clothing stores online. I could not believe the amount of stores available online for plus size women. Stores exclusively carrying plus size fashion; apparel and accessories that looked good and that was in my size. I was ecstatic at my discovery, this eased so many of my shopping problems.

I can now say that over the years the amount of plus size stores available online has grown tremendously, and the quality of fashion available has definitely improved. Plus size store online are now able to satisfy all tastes, occasions and sizes.

I have decided to share these thoughts with you to encourage fellow plus size women who may be looking for that special outfit, or who simply want to shop for more clothes, to consider the option of shopping online because, believe me, it will open many stylish doors for you!

Here follow my seven essentials reasons why I personally shop online for most of my clothes and why I am recommending online shopping to all plus size women.

1. Size availability

Finally you no longer have to worry about whether stores carry the item you like in your size, because plus size stores online cater exclusively to plus size women's needs. That is, they usually carry items from size 12 or 14 to size 48 and above! Most stores have their own size ranges, as some may stop at size 34 for instance while others may carry items up to size 50. This usually varies on a store by store basis.

2. Endless choice of styles

When you are out and about shopping in the usual stores, you are rather limited to the styles of clothing available at one store. Some stores may focus on formal wear rather than casual, and some may not carry swimwear or lingerie for instance. This inconvenience does not exist online. Why? Most plus size clothing stores online carry a wide variety of styles. Plus, it is easy for you whilst you are shopping around online, to switch from one store to the other if you are looking for a different style.

3. Ease of shopping

I don't know about you but shopping is one tiring chore; walking around big stores, out of this one and into the other. By the end of the day your feet will be aching; makes you wonder why you go into all their trouble in the first place! Shopping around on the Internet just to see what's in stock, what's in fashion and what the price ranges are, can be done at just the click of a mouse. You can tirelessly click your way from store to store.

4. Greater selection

When shopping online for clothes I usually find that I am open to a more vast selection of items than when I'm otherwise shopping in usual stores. A store's web-site usually lists all the items available within that particular store, so you can view everything online. The fashion available to plus size women online from the various stores available is simply endless; you will find stores to suit every taste, age and size. You will find the right store for you!

5. Save those pennies
Looking for the best priced item is much easier online. Imagine you have found an item that you would like to buy; you could easily make a note of it by book-marking the page, and before actually buying that item you can browse around the other plus size clothing stores to check whether they carry the same or similar items at a cheaper price. There are also a lot of promotions and sales going on at online plus size stores. Some stores may choose to keep you updated to their promotions by emailing you monthly newsletters, which will keep you up to date with money saving deals, coupons available and discounts.

6. Friendlier shopping experience

I don't know about you but one thing I really hate is the nasty attitude and looks I get sometimes from shopping assistants when they tell you, "Sorry we do not carry that in your size!" Seems to me like they need some chocolate in their system! You will definitely not get any of that from most plus size stores online, as they understand the needs of big beautiful women and the friendly customer service reps are usually plus size ladies themselves.

7. Convenient!

This is definitely my favourite perk of shopping online. It is simply convenient! You can shop whenever you what, at what time you want and you can even shop in your pyjamas! You have ample of time to think about your purchase, look over the items you want to buy over and over until you make you final decision. It is just all about you and your time.

Overall shopping online is much more of a pleasant experience. Personally I shop online for a wide range of stuff, due to time constraints and everyday life; however even if I had all the time in the world I would still opt for shopping online when looking for new clothes and accessories as it is much more of a satisfying experience. I recommend online shopping at plus size fashion stores to all the big beautiful women who have trouble finding outfits they really like and which fit them well. The Internet will make you love shopping and your figure!

Plus Size Fashion Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:06:00 -0700

By Rebecca E Mills

All of us want to look our best at all times, including over-sized men and women. It is to suit their needs to the best that clothing brands have come up with plus sized outfits so that even people with slightly heavier bodies can manage to look trendy and fashionable in the society.

Fashion tips for plus size bodies:

Be comfortable with what you wear.The most important ingredient in looking good in what you wear is feeling good and comfortable in it. A positive attitude towards your dressing sense and appropriate display of self-confidence through your clothes is very essential to appear stylish.

Although black always appears to make you look slimmer, try outfits with different colors. This would help in enhancing your personality and also add to the variations you can try with your looks.

If you have a heavy body but slimmer legs, do not feel embarrassed to show them off by wearing knee-length skirts, dresses etc. In case your legs are not that slim - you still have many choices in how to cover them up and yet look pretty in your outfit. Why not consider an evening gown, trousers, long skirts etc.

For heavy bodies it is always recommended to have shorter heels rather than the pencil shaped ones, mainly because a box heel would balance plus size body much better than a pencil heel.

Wear appropriate undergarments to fit with your dress so that your body shape does not look disproportionate in a particular outfit.

For plus size men it is highly recommended that they custom make most of their shirts and trousers if they do not get their size in a ready-made garment store. There would be no point in wearing a tight-fitting outfit which isn't your size and then embarrassing yourself in public in case there's a wardrobe malfunction. So be very choosy about your clothes.

Celebrity Charisma is what we all crave - but dare not admit! Wouldn't it be great to look thinner in clothes? More attractive More Seductive? More powerful and engaging? Can you imagine how your life would change when you start to attract people to you - easily! Thankfully you don't need wads of cash, years or pain to appear more attractive and commanding. Just get the right system, tips and techniques and get that man or women, win that client and get celebrity wow now! http://www.celebrity-charisma.com

Fashion Advice For Women Abounds in Books and Magazines

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:04:00 -0700

By Enid Sefcovic, Ph.D.

A trip to the public library may not be our first thought when we want fashion advice for women. Here are some good reasons why the library is a fabulous place to research the latest fashion trends.

The more books about fashion you consult, the more likely you are to realize that your unique style starts with you not what designers trumpet.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Audrey Hepburn, and First Lady Nancy Reagan are known as classy dressers and fashion icons. Yet, as we look at their wardrobe choices over the decades, we see that they updated their fashion style - but did not radically change it.

Body type and face shape will not change much with age. Books with fashion advice for women emphasize creating your look, rather than following the crowd.

Style is about more than wearing the latest fashion. Biographies of fashion icons and designers teach us that glamour and beauty really are an inside job.

Reading about fashion icons introduces us to their lifestyle philosophies. These women not only have fashion style, they have class. Shelly Branch and Sue Callaway report that First Lady Jackie Kennedy used her charm persuasively for donations to refurbish the White House with appropriate antiques. She and second husband Aristotle Onassis famously helped her cousins make livable a dangerously run-down Gray Gardens. She dressed down when she became a book editor, consciously choosing not to flaunt her wealth as she assumed a new role in life. Branch and Callaway share these memorable anecdotes in their entertaining book of much more than fashion advice, What Would Jackie Do?.

The best fashion photography is not available on the Internet.

Absorbing the best fashion photography can be inspiring, unleashing your creativity, as well as offer lessons in fashion cycles. Few of us can afford to purchase these expensive tomes. Take one home and bathe in the visual luxury. By the way, you can find a lot of great books with full-colored photos about home decorating and gardening at your library.

Teach yourself to get creative refurbishing your wardrobe.

Do-it-yourself fashion and craft books abound. The latest fashion may literally be at your fingertips - not at the mall. Get ideas for transforming out-of-style garments into fresh new looks. Crochet or knit yourself a winter muffler and cap. Be more ambitious and tackle a sweater that would cost hundreds of dollars in a specialty store. Add ribbon and buttons to an inexpensive blouse to give it a handmade look. Beading and jewelry-making remain an effective way to create unique accessories. You can even transform old shoes with a glue gun and trim.

Find fashion advice books and magazine articles you cannot get any other way.

Your library will, most likely, be able to order a book that's not in its collection through InterLibrary Loan (ILL). If you cannot find what you want in the catalog, ask a reference librarian for help.

Articles about the latest fashion and expressing ourselves creatively through style turn up in unusual places. Psychology Today had some articles about fashion and personality in 2008. You can find and read these articles for free on two popular databases that index Psychology Today - EBSCO and ProQuest. A database is an index of articles that have appeared in hundreds of newspapers, magazines, and large-circulation newsletters. The bible of the fashion industry, W for Women's Wear Daily, may be available if you want to keep up with insider industry trends.

Save money.

Fashion and style magazines and books cost a small fortune. We can glut ourselves on as many as we want at the library, instead of toting home just one guilty pleasure from the magazine rack or bookstore. And think of the money we save by spending a few hours at the library instead of at the mall to scout out the latest fashions. Here are some specific reading suggestions.

In conclusion, the next time you've simply got to learn about the latest fashion advice for women, skip shopping and prowl the library. Magazines are designed to persuade us to buy. Fashion books, including fashion advice, basic wardrobe planning, fashion photo collections, and biographies of designers and fashion icons, teach us that the more fashion changes, the more unique, personal fashion style remains the same.

Fashion Advice For Plus Size Women - Ezine Articles

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:03:00 -0700

By Joe Norris

A growing trend in fashion is the plus sized wardrobe which has become a hit amongst women of all ages and size ranges. Most women are no longer in the size 2-10 range and are curvier and more buxom. For this reason, most stylists have a few words of advice when purchasing clothing in the plus sized range.

Keep the same rules in the plus range as you would in the smaller sizes. Choose classic pieces or suits which will always be in fashion no matter what the year or season. Purchase one pant or skirt suit in a plain color which fits you properly and serves you well for any important occasion.

Purchase a few blouses or shirts which will complement the suit and bring out the color of your eyes, hair and facial tones. These blouses can be worn with the suit, another pair of trousers or skirt. Try to buy fabrics which will wash and dry quickly for the next business meeting or party. Cotton, silk and linen make suitable tops material while wool is an excellent suit material.

Purchase clothing which fits you properly. There is nothing worse than gorgeous plus sized women wearing too tight shirts, pants or jeans. Buy a size larger and the clothes should be easy to do up and not make you look like a sausage in its casing. Wear good quality foundation garments to enhance your proportions. Bras should uplift your bosom and make a blouse look very good on you.

Avoid showing off too much skin as in halter tops or sleeveless tops. Leave something to the imagination and always dress as though you were going to meet someone special that day. Good fitting lounge clothes, bathing suits and tee shirts should enhance your body, not draw a critical eye.

Finally, complement your wardrobe with a hair style, classic make up and good fitting shoes. Accessories should be worn with to complement your face and eyes and not be overwhelming. Avoid too much jewellery or scarves, which take the focus from your beautiful face. Now you are ready to go forth and seize the world.

Choose shoes which are suitable for all day at work. Spiked heels are not required at work and should be saved for evening fare. If you want to dress up for evening then go for it but remember that it is your face and hair that everyone should be looking at, not your skimpy dress or top.

Buy quality men's diabetic socks and women's diabetic socks.

Or, if you have an evening get together to attend, and you are looking for party dresses for women, you can always choose one of those classic black dresses for women. So much better chic clothing options than those dated cargo pants of yours!

Another good reason to get rid of your cargo pants would be the fabulous range of skirts for women available these days. You can pick up one in knee-length and make it a great women's casual wear with chic tops. Or, you can also experiment with casual skirts for women in shorter length by pairing it up with tights or stockings.

A pair of good denims will never go out of fashion clothes for women. So, instead of those slouchy cargo pants, you can slip into fitted or super skinny denims. Or, if fitted silhouettes are not really a favorite with you, you can always go for wide-legged or boot-cut denims.

How to Give Fashion Advice Without Offending Someone

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 08:02:00 -0700

By Simone Murdock

If you hope to provide fashion advice without hurting someone's feelings consider buying the person a piece of clothing that you believe would improve the person's look. Invite the person to shop with you for a gift you want to buy the person for an occasion such as a birthday or holiday and choose items that you believe would look good on the person. When you get to the store, choose an item as soon as you can because it will help establish a price range you were looking at and the type of item you intend to purchase such as a piece of clothing or accessory. You can also choose an item and present it as a gift if you are pretty certain about a person's size.

Even if you generally don't like someone's fashion style, if you see the person fairly regularly you'll notice there are pieces of clothing that you think look flattering on the person. Use the occasion when the person is wearing a color or a cut or a fit that you like and compliment the person on the reason you like that piece of clothing. Instead of simply saying, "I like that top," explain what features of the top you like on the person. When you're out in public with the person, you can also choose to focus on a clothing article someone else is wearing and indicate you think it would look good on the person.

Before you make a suggestion use the information you have about the person to consider whether the choices that person makes are based on budget concerns or perhaps issues about body image or a simple lack of interest in looking current. This information will allow you to address those concerns in your discussion by pointing out ways to accentuate features you like about the person or by focusing on locations that sell less expensive garments or even by talking about clothing features such as comfort or ease of washing.

Use the opportunity to share a fashion insight if the person you want to advise gives you a compliment on your clothing. If the person offers a compliment on a pair of slacks you're wearing, you can disclose where you purchased the slacks and describe some of the other options available in the store. If the person compliments your slacks and you'd like to see that person in different tops, you can direct your response to the fact that you love the retailer and that the same place sells stylish tops.

Fashion Designer Career - Hubs and Trends

noreply@blogger.com (Ahsan) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 07:59:00 -0700

By Susan Bean

A fashion designer is the person who comes up with the newest fashion trends and styles that people will base their wardrobe around. They have a keen sense of style and know how to mix and match colors to produce attractive outfits. They are sometimes hired by clothing companies to produce new lines of clothing for their customers; though, many are also self-employed and work with individual clients on projects.

The major hubs for a fashion designer career are located in New York and California; however, some designers find success in working with smaller companies throughout the US. Fashion designers working with larger companies are often expected to travel often, as it is often necessary to meet with clients, suppliers, and manufacturers who are located in different areas. Traveling is also necessary in order to attend trade and fashion shows around the US and the world.

Designers are expected to study and be extremely familiar with fashion trends and emergent styles. They sketch the designs for their own clothing ideas and use them to make the final product. The entire design process can take anywhere from 18 to 24 months starting with the initial concept to the final outfit.

The first step in creating a new design is researching the current fashion trends. This includes learning what styles, colors, and fabrics are popular and what will be popular in the future. The designer can then use this information to generate ideas about new clothing ideas. Some will sketch their designs by hand, while others use computer programs to assist in the process. The design software is helpful because it makes it easier to scale body proportions, experiment with different colors, and edit previous design ideas.

Once the design is finished, a prototype can be made. The prototype of the design is made from cheaper materials and supplies so that the designer can make any adjustments that might be necessary. Depending on the nature of project and the size of the design firm he/she works for, the designer may create the prototype him/herself or oversee the construction. After the necessary adjustments are made to the prototype, a final working design can be created using the actual materials. The designer can then sell the design to clothing retailers and/or model them in fashion shows.

Designers hired by manufacturers, wholesale companies, and design firms will generally have a fixed schedule and a steady income. They often work with a number of others within the company including tailors, sewers, and patternmakers, as well as outside manufacturers, materials suppliers, and clients. Freelance designers work by contract or by the job. This often demands for more flexibility in scheduling in order to meet the needs of each client.

The demand for fashion designers is not expected to fluctuate significantly in the future; however, many more are training for positions in the industry. As a result, the competition for a high-level fashion designer career will increase significantly. The most job opportunities are expected to arise in design firms geared toward mass-market fashions.
