Fashion Styling Courses
Thursday, September 27, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:27 PM
There are various fashion styling courses that are offered to 
future stylists who want to pursue a career in the fashion industry. 
These courses provide candidates with in-depth knowledge on various 
subjects that may include nail care, hair care, hair styling, personal 
care, wardrobe selection and garment selection.
Budding
 stylists who are interested in pursuing a career in the fashion 
industry can either opt for a 2 year Associate Degree Course in Fashion 
Designing or they can opt for a 4 year Associate Degree Course in 
Fashion Designing. Both these courses help future stylists understand 
various aspects of personal styling and also understand how the industry
 works. In addition to getting knowledge about the chosen path, these 
courses also teach the future stylist various other things such as how 
to develop contacts and how to keep clients happy.
Since there are
 many reputed training institutes that offer fashion styling courses, 
future stylists should consider various aspects before joining an 
institute. Some of the aspects that should be considered include the 
quality of training, internship, placement and future job opportunities.
 Aspiring stylists who are interested in getting job experience should 
look for fashion styling courses that also offer internship programs 
since these programs allow stylists to get hands on experience. The main
 benefit of an internship program is that most places that offer 
internship programs allow candidates to make a few unintentional 
mistakes as part of the learning procedure. These inevitable mistakes 
often prevent future stylists from making similar mistakes in the 
future.
The two types of fashion styling courses that are offered 
to future stylists who want to become personal stylists are virtual 
courses and face to face courses. Face to face courses are usually 
preferred by most people who have access to institutes that offer these 
courses since such seminars allow candidates to get hands on experience 
and practice while learning.
Although face to face courses have 
various benefits, many people opt for virtual courses for various 
reasons. Virtual courses are ideal for people who do not have enough 
time to attend face to face courses or live in a location that is far 
away from institutes that offer face to face courses. Some fashion 
styling institutes also offer blended seminars that allow candidates to 
enter both face to face seminars and virtual seminars. Blended seminars 
are considered to be ideal for future stylists who want to get both 
hands on experience and want to save time while learning the art of 
styling.

Fashion Review of the Last Decade
Tuesday, September 25, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 12:50 AM
The decade has just ended and we are once again starting out on a
 clean slate. Nothing much or drastic has changed since the new decade 
has just begun and we are still in the first few weeks of the brand new 
year. However, it is fitting to go through the last decade's trends in 
fashion to see if these will recur or will we have a totally fresh 
approach in the world of fashion.
The
 last decade's fashion saw the emergence of recycling the trends prior 
to it most notably from the 90's. During the first few years, 90's 
fashion was evident. However, at this time, it was more refined. 
Prevalent in this year as well was stepping away from the unisex style 
of dressing. The more "woman approach" was now being embraced as skirts 
and dresses become more in-style.
The youth played an important 
role in fashion during these times specifically in the early 2000's. Emo
 and hip-hop style were the in-thing mainly because of the rise of emo 
bands and new hip-hop artists. These artists have influenced the way 
people dress and live. Hoodies and sweatpants were among the most 
popular garments used last decade. You see Eminem wear these types of 
clothing and other hip-hop moguls as well. Baggy pants and lose denims 
were also common and are not only worn by men but by women as well. This
 type of style however was again based on the 90's fashion.
Emo 
style, on the other hand, is associated with wristbands and spiky hair. 
Sometimes, this is accompanied with dark eye shadows and black fit 
shirts. Blink 182, and Green Day were among those who influenced the 
youth for this fashion.
By the late 2000's, the more urban style 
fashion was introduced. Women and men were encouraged to be more 
feminine and manly in terms of choosing the style of clothes. 
Sophisticated garments such us black pants and black dress shoes became 
popular. There was quite a shift of fashion style in hip-hop when Kanye 
West introduced the lesser youthful hip-hop style. Loose shirt and pants
 were now replaced for a more manly look. Power suits were also worn at 
this time. Usually, these kinds of clothing are used only during formal 
occasions. Yet, these became popular and are widely used even during 
casual events.
If saggy clothes were fashionable in the 90's, 
during this decade, tight jeans became widespread. Designer jeans were 
more popular at this time. Of course, what is fashion without the 
accessories? During the last decade, fashion was also associated with 
designer glasses, both for men and women. The "geek look" was something 
people have wanted to portray. For guys, in particular, baseball caps 
were extremely popular for teenagers. However, these kinds of caps 
cannot be bent so they stay as they are.
For sure there were still
 a lot of fashion trends that were rampant during these years. These are
 just a few examples and are the ones that became such a widespread 
phenomena that almost everyone was into it. As we get into another 
decade, we ask what kind of fashion we are looking at. Will we be going 
back to the trends last decade or even three of four decades back? Or 
will we be embracing a new craze? One thing is for sure, whatever is in 
fashion now, and we are sure to follow it.
Fashion Icons and Wearing Red
Saturday, September 22, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 12:48 AM
There are different colours which are worn every autumn, every 
winter, every spring and every summer. There are not too many colours 
which are out of fashion, fashion all being about colours, but there are
 some colours which are more frequently encountered than others and red 
is one of them.
Red
 is a colour which is definitely on an ascending direction, one that is 
defining for the autumn-winter collection this year. Red is a colour 
which only the daring women can wear and those who want to catch 
everyone's eye. This is the best choice for those women who like being 
in the centre of attention. Red is a passionate colour, a very sensual 
one, one that has been chosen by designers all over the world because of
 the passion and the voluptuous features it breathes and it transmits. 
This is exactly why red could not be missing from the catwalks this 
year. This is more than just a feminine shade and it can be combined 
with a lot of other shades and tones, the most important part being that
 you have to identify yourself with this colour and with its features.
Red
 is also a colour which has made many women famous over time. However, 
you don't have to wear a certain colour to become a fashion icon, this 
being a more complex situation and a much more complex process. You must
 have good taste and even good advisors around you. There have been a 
lot of women who have become models through their way of dressing up and
 of acting, imposing a real fashion trend. Here are some examples of 
very famous women, who have revolutionized the world of fashion.
First
 of all, there is Dita von Teese, one of the women who enjoyed the more 
dramatic colours and who was very fond of the retro style, combined with
 the glamour one. Then, there is Princess Diana, who was an example a 
lot of other women followed and who was very famous for its social life 
and for its taste in fashion. We can even encounter her personal fashion
 style today. Then, there is Sarah Jessica Parker, who is a very 
non-conformist person and who really has something to show in terms of 
personality. Last but not least, there would be Nicole Kidman, who is 
best characterized through the words simplicity and refinement. These 
are the words which define the way she dresses and the way she teaches 
the world to dress when attending any sort of event and when approaching
 any kind of situation.
We all have our personal fashion styles 
although not all of us are famous for it. Fashion can be considered a 
quite relative domain as not all people have to obey the rules. This 
means that if you don't like the retro fashion style, you don;t have to 
wear retro clothes just to please the others, but of course you can make
 an exception from time to time. Of course, that is if you really care.
Fashionable and Stylish
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 12:45 AM
Fashion and style. What are they? Do they always go together? Do 
they mean one and the same thing? It's hard to say. According to 
specialists in the field, fashion is actually a synonym  for style or 
glamour.  It has been agreed on the fact that fashion is a way of 
personal expression, and according to this criteria, one can be 
fashionable when he/she fits in this expression mode, or unfashionable, 
which would be the opposite. Fashion  has manifestations in all the 
fields of human activity, that is when can speak about fashion when we 
refer to topics such as architecture, clothing, music, cosmetics, 
entertainment, forms of speech or even politics or technology. Anything 
in these fields can be described as being fashionable or not. When one 
speaks about materialism or trend s using the term 'fashion', it can be 
associated with a negative meaning.
Most
 people today perceive fashion as a term referring mostly to clothes. 
The beginnings of what we call fashion today did actually refer to 
clothes and they go back as far as the sixteenth century. However, it 
was only two centuries later that the real manifestations of fashion 
took place and it happened in Europe, among the wealthy upper classes. 
Fashion, just like any other manifestation of human activity, underwent 
major and continual changes, to the point where it is today, that is, 
being related to many fields of activities.
Of course, it would be unjustified to assume that fashion is the same all over the world. First of all, fashion differs from one society to another. Then, within a certain society, there are a lot of factors which may influence fashion such as age or generation, social class, profession or occupation. Even the geography of certain regions may bring about differences in fashion among the people of the same society.
But
 how does fashion change? Because we all know that constant change is 
what fashion is actually about. Everyone will agree that what is new now
 will soon become old, and the process goes both ways, that I what was 
once into fashion but is now considered to be old and obsolete will soon
 turn into something new again. Capitalism has brought along with its 
numerous good aspects some less appealing ones, such as waste. People 
buy things which are not necessary to them and consequently speed up the
 process of change as far as fashion is concerned. Young generations 
have much to do with this change in fashion as well, because they are 
always eager and willing to try interesting things, things that they 
haven't experienced before, something new to be more precise.
What
 made fashion so popular among people was actually the television. The 
moment fashion hit television, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was 
the moment when the general population became interested in this aspect.
 And fashion magazines, websites or even fashion blogs were only one 
step away.
Pretty much in the same way as fashion, style can refer
 to may things, from painting, music, literature, web design to 
linguistics or manners of addressing people. The very definition of 
style describes the term as a fashionable manner of doing things, which 
points out that style and fashion are very closely related. Not 
everything that is considered fashionable will also be regarded as 
stylish, which is why people should avoid turning into a fashion victim,
 one of those persons who will wear just about anything that's seen as 
fashionable, no matter if it suits them or not, from hairstyles and 
piercing to clothes. It is true that today's world and the society we 
live in have set some rules in what fashion and style are concerned, but
 these don't always have to be strictly followed. Being a fashion victim
 will only turn you into one of the rest. If you want to be ahead at all
 times, what you must try is to define your own style and that will make
 you look your best.

Pointy Toe Kitten Heels - This Season's Choice to Show Fashion Style and Sexiness
Thursday, August 30, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:46 PM
No women can escape the temptation of high heels. Though wearing 
this kind of footwear means the endless pains in feet at the end of the 
day, most women still prefer to suffer the pains rather than throw away 
these feet killing shoes. One biggest reason why women are so obsessed 
with the heels is that this kind of footwear can greatly boost women's 
feminine charm and add extra sexiness to their style. However, with the 
comeback of kitten heels, especially the pointed-toe style, there is an 
opportunity for women to avoid the pains but still obtain the sexiness 
and style that they always lust for.
Usually,
 kitten heels feature the slender low heels from 1.5 inches to 2 inches 
high. In fact, this kind of heels has been rather popular in the 50s and
 60s and many Hollywood movie stars and celebrities at that time were 
crazy about the kind of shoes. There are many different styles and 
designs that can be seen in kitten heels. For those tall women who want 
to have the sex appeal of high heels, but don't need too much added 
height, kitten heels are definitely the best options.
In the 
market, you can find various designs of the shoes, but among so many 
options, you can't miss red pointy toe type, animal print pointy toe 
style and of course the classic black ones. Red types, without doubt, 
can add more sex appeal to your style. Every girl needs at least one 
pair of red shoes to complete the wardrobe. Black types can be worn for 
both work and after-work activities and they won't go out of style 
easily because of the classic design and timeless quality. As to animal 
print types, they are the most popular styles this season. If you want 
to look trendy and stylish, you shouldn't miss animal prints.
No 
matter what kind of kitten heels you are going to choose, wearing 
pointed-toe kitten heels can surely endow you with the mix of retro 
elegance and irresistible attraction which is rare to see in other kinds
 of heels.
Gay Men's Influence on Fashion, Style and Popular Culture
Posted by Unknown at 12:38 AM
Popular culture is constantly evolving. There are many influences
 on what is considered fashionable and stylish at any one time. Some 
tend to dominate, however. And one growing trend is the effect of gay 
male sensibilities on many aspects of mainstream culture including 
films, television and fashion. No longer on the margins of mainstream 
culture, gay men are often making its rules.
Take the breakout show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
 This entertaining television program took the (often true!) stereotype 
of gay males being more fashion conscious, cultured and aesthetically 
adept than straight males and made it the central idea. These witty gay 
men ran amock, giving advice to clueless straight guys on everything 
from their choice of swimwear to their behavior with the opposite sex. 
The show was a huge hit in the USA and globally, and even spawned 
localized versions in different countries.
There are other, more 
general examples. Take the gay ideal of masculinity, which has a focus 
on good grooming and physical fitness. While gay male icons are often 
Adonis like, their heterosexual counterparts have long been able to get 
away with being less than fit and sometimes downright slobby. But this 
seems to have changed in recent years.
A couple of recent "sword and sandal" epics illustrate this well. In Troy,
 both main stars (Brad Pitt and Eric Bana) were fitter, stronger and 
more muscular than in any of their previous roles. A similar look was 
required for the movie 300 about Spartan warriors. All of the 
principal actors, as well as the extras, had clearly spent a lot of time
 at the gym. The star, Gerard Butler, followed a punishing training 
regime for four months prior to filming, often working out with a well 
known body builder.
One wonders how many of the original Spartans 
would have looked so buffed. They certainly didn't have the benefit of 
digital blood sugar monitors, isometric gym equipment, protein bars and 
all the rest. (Though they would have been far more lethal, of course!)
Compare these films with the Roman epics of the fifties and sixties. In films such as Ben Hur and Spartacus
 physical perfection was not nearly as important. Stars such as Tony 
Curtis, Kirk Douglas and Charlton Heston were certainly fit, but hardly 
the perfect physical specimens we've seen parading across the screen 
lately.
The evolving character of James Bond is another case in 
point. Sean Connery, the original movie Bond, was a masculine icon. He 
had an imposing physique and was hairy chested. He certainly wasn't 
overweight, but he wasn't toned either. While he did get around in his 
swimming trunks in at least one film, this was as much to serve the plot
 as it was to give the women something to ogle.
Then there was 
Roger Moore. While he was dapper and stylish, he was not very athletic. 
He was most comfortable in a suit, and seemed to have an aversion to 
swimwear.
The latest Bond, Daniel Craig, is more fit and muscular 
than any of his predecessors. He's probably been training with Gerard 
Butler! In one purely ornamental scene in Casino Royale he rises 
from the surf to display his (hairless) barrel chest and washboard 
stomach. Needless to say, when dressed he's always wearing the most 
stylish attire.
It's interesting that these are all big budget 
movies that are made appeal to a broad demographic. They are guy films; 
not gay films. Yet the action men in them look fit, sleek and often 
fashionable while killing all the bad guys. While the rising influence 
of gay male aesthetics isn't the only reason for this phenomenon, it is 
certainly a major factor.
Laptop Bags Provide You With Both Convenience and Fashion Style
Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 11:06 PM
A portable laptop needs a quality protective case to make sure 
that people can carry it wherever they go. Usually, when people are 
buying a laptop, they will also purchase such a laptop accessory as a 
must-have item which can provide convenience and protection against 
scratches or other potential damages to their new gadget. In the market,
 you can always find many different types of laptop bags, thus it is 
necessary for you to be informed of how to buy the best one.
In
 terms of the style, the most common style goes to messenger style, 
which resembles the style of classic messenger bags. This kind of bags 
can be carried either in hand or on shoulder. On the other hand, except 
for laptops, you can also put some documents or files in a messenger 
laptop bag, which, in this way, can be employed as a professional 
accessory. Backpacks are another popular type that favored by many 
people. You can simply use them as the backpacks to carry books or 
files. This type of laptop bags is designed with an included laptop 
sleeve which can increase the security and safety of the laptop. The 
sufficient storage space and the adjustable shoulder straps can provide 
an easy and secure way to carry your laptop. For professional 
businessmen, they usually prefer to choose briefcase style laptop bags. 
To choose such a bag, sufficient storage space, adjustable shoulder 
straps and plenty organized inner compartments are the basic elements 
you need to consider. Besides, the weight of the bag is also an 
important factor that matters a lot for businessmen who travel 
frequently.
Apart from the style, you should also take the size, 
material and color into consideration. Usually, the size should agree 
with the size of your laptop. As to the material, leather, of course, is
 your best choice. The color you are going to choose should keep in line
 with your skin color tone. In a word, the laptop bags are useful not 
only in a way of providing practical functions but also expressing your 
fashion statement.
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same With High School Fashion Styles
Saturday, August 18, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 11:04 PM
Value is hot! Most of us will look for deals like shopping at J.C. 
Penny, Kohl's and department stores that have value And name brands.  We
 all "grow up" during high school (well most of us).  High school 
fashions today declare who we are while we are. We are honing our 
socialization skills and finding what fashions reflect who we are.  This
 is why there are various looks that high school students have. We've 
included just a few:
Most
 of us think by merely donning the varsity team jacket will somehow 
transform our look into "jock mode."  However this does not hide our 
poor fashion sense or lack there of and neither do large letters and 
colors of the high school. The ultimate way to key into the Jock Look is
 by going out for a school sport and making the team and earning the 
right to wear that jacket.  And by sport and team I am not referring to 
the varsity chess team.
We all remember the geeks and nerds don't 
we, and some of them were actually us.  Usually none by their "un-cool" 
clothing these prodigies are usually so engulfed with numerous projects 
that they could care less about what they wear.  As with all changes in 
fashion trends, actually having geeky clothing isn't necessarily a bad 
thing. Let's face it, geeks and nerds are thriving because of the fact 
that everyone has a computer.  Do you recall when role playing gamers 
were known to be Satan worshippers?  Well today some of them are none as
 world class cyber athletes. This high school fashion can be scored by 
being preoccupied with solving the problems of the universe and by 
wearing a shirt with a witty saying or technological jargon a face it.
While
 this high school fashion is popular among fans of rock bands making a 
statement is a definite plus with those we call, "rockers".  These are 
usually shirts that make statements or shirts featuring their favorite 
band. This fashion usually includes a ton of trinkets and studded 
bracelets or a tribal necklace. With this high school fashion you need 
to take on the "appropriate" attitude to go with it. Being passionate 
about music is of course essential and having an IPOD or headphones will
 cinch the look.  For the guarantee of turning girls heads a pair of 
drumsticks or a guitar case will do the trick as well.
Most of us 
think of BLACK when referring to the Goth fashion of high school 
clothing.  Whether fortunately or not this is not just a high school 
fashion it is used by numerous people who wish to make statements of 
sorrow. The accessories are the key really; such as, black eyeliner and 
lipstick. Don't be swain by thinking these Goths are dressing as such to
 show their individuality; more or less this form of dress is more 
commonly done to be included in a group and sort of blend in with people
 who want to show that they belong.
The toughest fashion look to 
maintain as you must always stay atop the latest high fashions racing 
from store to store to obtain the first best outfit ever. Well you also 
have to know what is "cool" and what is definitely "not cool". And as a 
true fashionista, you must launch the highest standard of high school 
fashion.
Bikini Waxing Styles - Waxing Trends and Fashion Styles
Wednesday, August 15, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 11:01 PM
What we do about our body hair changes with the trends and 
fashion just like the length of our skirts. The seventies, it was way 
cool to just leave your hair natural. If you had a lot of pubic hair, so
 be it. It was considered sexy. Now, though, it is becoming more 
fashionable to have less hair - less on your bikini area, especially. 
And not only is it more common to get rid of hair, there are now several
 acceptable bikini waxing styles - waxing trends and fashions - from 
which to choose.
You
 can choose to keep most of your pubic hair and simply wax the hair that
 grows beyond the part of your body that is covered with your bikini 
bottom. This is, of course, the easiest, quickest, and least painful 
bikini waxing style.
You can also choose to keep just a small 
strip of hair running right up the middle of your triangular private 
area. This simply involves waxing more of the area. Because you are 
getting into a more sensitive area, this can be a bit more uncomfortable
 than just waxing the bikini line.
You can also choose a Brazilian
 wax. The Brazilian waxing trend and fashion is becoming more and more 
common; it's always been common in Brazil - hence the name - but lots of
 American women are opting for this, too. A Brazilian wax is the bikini 
waxing style that removes all the pubic hair. You can get it done at a 
salon or do it yourself with a kit you can buy at the drugstore.
Probably
 the most interesting bikini waxing trend and fashion, though, is 
creating designs in the pubic hair area. You can get a template of a 
simple design such as a heart and either wax only the heart shape or wax
 every bit of hair except the heart shape. If you wax the hart itself, 
you will have a heart in the middle of your hair. If you wax the rest of
 the hair, you will have a little heart hair and no other hair in the 
bikini area.

How to Keep Up With New Fashion Style Without Breaking the Bank
Tuesday, July 31, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:53 PM
Sure, the most style conscious among us want to sail through the 
seasons in all of the new fashion styles. But purchasing a new wardrobe 
twice a year is a luxury that few of us can afford. Is there a solution 
to this trendsetting dilemma? Of course there is, as long as you know 
how to shop smarter instead of shopping more. With some retail savvy and
 a bit of patience, you can have new fashion style in your closet every 
season at a fraction of the money that you may be thinking you will have
 to spend.
Don't
 Buy Clothing as Soon as it Appears Retailers will bank on the fact that
 many women will pay full price for a new fashion style just to get the 
best selection or be the first woman on the block to flaunt it. This 
does not have to be you! With a bit of patience, you will soon see that 
must have tunic that will look just perfect with your favorite jeans at 
30-50% off. Wait even longer, and you may find a coupon in the circular 
in the Sunday paper for an additional percentage off. Wait an additional
 month or two, and that adorable tunic will be offered at a clearance 
price that you are sure to afford.
Don't Spend more on Trendy 
Items There are plenty of places to shop for the new fashion style. 
Upper end boutiques and department stores will offer the latest crazes 
with a high price tag. Average department stores will offer similarly 
trendy merchandise for a much lower price. Discount house will provide 
comparable items for the best price of all. When it comes to new fashion
 style, spend less on the really trendy items that will only work for 
one or two seasons. This leaves money in your clothing budget to spend 
more on classic pieces like the wool blazer or black riding boots that 
will be able to get you through multiple seasons in style and quality.
Shop
 Online There are some great bargains on new fashion style online. 
Whether you are into hip hop or urban fashion trends, you can find great
 selection and prices at many retailers on the Internet. These virtual 
stores usually have sales and clearance events just like the department 
stores in the mall. And you don't have to leave home and fight the 
crowds to check out the new fashion style. The disadvantage to this 
method is that you can't try items on prior to purchase.
Keeping 
up with new fashion style can be a lot of fun, and now it can be 
economical as well. With these tips, you can look up to the minute 
without breaking the bank.
Fashion Style - Granny Chic to Look Young
Thursday, July 19, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:42 PM
After the vintage style and oldies taken over the trend and 
catwalks of the world, looks like an old woman style is ready to look 
young again. Several years ago, if someone is wearing a 70s dress, 
people will surely look with weird stare and called it 'ancient'. 
However, once catwalks bring back this style. The word 'ancient' was 
turned into 'vintage' and the whole world affected by this trend.
Dress

back to be a trend. Even those who have quite fashionable mother can 
smile because of the clothes, and accessories appear to be their 
mother's vintage. This time, the world's hottest catwalks present 
various granny-chic styles as a trend for autumn and winter 2010.
What
 is distinctive of a grandmother? Glasses, it helps the already blurred 
vision. You will need oldies-style glasses to look like grandma; one 
with width and thick-rimmed, black or brown. Furthermore, you will need a
 tote bag. Tote bag with floral or other vintage motif and soft colors, 
not too flashy style, is well suited to accompany your style. Choose a 
tote bag which has a simple model and still the typical old style. The 
more modern design would eliminate the impression of granny chic.
It's
 time to play with the skirt that is suitable for this style. You can 
choose a classic pencil skirt or A-line skirt with natural colors. All 
these high-waist skirt are seldom subordinate to the elderly who 
designed hipster. Complete with beautiful small belt to give the chic 
impression. Like the skirt, select a blouse with soft colors, simple 
design and high cut collar. Say good bye to the deep V-neck collar and 
piece of other modifications. You can choose the accented modern blouse 
in the arm.
Finally, choose accessories that are not too big, just
 small to medium sized; simple but beautiful enough to be admired! Avoid
 contemporary and modern design, of course. Remember, a grandmother 
usually does not use an excessive amount of accessories. A pair of 
earrings, one to two rings, necklaces and bracelets and a watch is 
enough. You can be stylish with granny chic if you are creative in mix 
and match.

Fashion Style Guide For Men
Friday, July 6, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:37 PM
I'm sure you've noticed that all over magazines, TV and the 
internet lately, the focus is on fall, fall, fall. We're starting to 
think about football, Thanksgiving and all of the other terrific things 
that autumn brings. This also means that you should start to think about
 transitioning the items in your closet. Although the weather may not 
yet feel cooler in your corner of the country, it will get there soon. 
And you will want to be ready to approach the season in style.
When
 it comes to men's fashion, the area where a lot of men fall short is in
 assembling a wardrobe with variety. You'll notice that any time a male 
celebrity is cited in the news for his great style, he has a visually 
interesting, varied, and often colorful outfit. In putting together a 
stylish wardrobe, you'll need to include elements of color, pattern and 
texture.
If you are one who normally has a difficult time 
assembling a wardrobe that you feel good in, start from the bottom and 
work up. It can be a lot less intimidating to shop for shoes than other 
items of clothing, such as pants and suits. Plus, depending on what 
types of shoes you prefer, this can help to dictate the rest of your 
stylish look.
A great shoe style for fall of 2011 is a brown suede
 or leather derby shoe. This is shoe style is truly classic, and can 
easily be dressed up or down. A good suede shoe will also add the 
crucial element of texture to your outfit. Now, continue to build up. 
Your wardrobe of pants should include dark wash denim, flat front 
khakis, and corduroys. Cord is an excellent fabric for fall, and can be 
found in all sorts of interesting colors. Don't be afraid to try 
something different, such as olive green, burnt orange, plum, or 
mustard. This would, of course, bring in your element of color.
Now
 for your top half, an excellent and stylish look for fall is to dress 
in layers. A look that is great for this fall is to layer a cardigan 
sweater over a button down shirt or a ribbed cotton tee shirt. Are you 
cringing at the word "cardigan" because it makes you think of Mr. 
Rogers? Just look for a cardigan that fits snuggly and isn't bulky to 
avoid looking dated. If you find a material, whether it is cotton or 
wool, that bulges, place the sweater back on the shelf and keep looking.
 If you are more of a jacket person, look for a cotton and wool sports 
jacket, and a great faux or real leather jacket in a shade of brown, 
camel, or reddish brown. These are staples that can be layered over 
nearly any outfit.
As you shop for shirts, resist the urge to buy 
the same plain tee shirt in a whole stack of different colors. Your 
shirt wardrobe definitely needs variety. Plus, ties are an essential for
 a stylish wardrobe, and you can't try out a variety of interesting tie 
knotsif all you wear is tee shirts. Don't be afraid to wear a patterned 
dress shirt with a tie of a different pattern. It will work as long as 
the patterns are in the same color family. This goes for patterns such 
as paisley and stripes; Glen-Plaid and polka dots; and even polka dots 
and stripes, which was traditionally thought of as a faux pas. Just 
anchor the look with neutral pants and perhaps a neutral colored jacket.
 If you prefer to use pattern in a more subtle way, stick to just one 
patterned element, such as an argyle scarf looped around your neck.
Remember,
 the key to building a stylish wardrobe is to include color, pattern, 
and texture. Don't be afraid to experiment with new fabrics and looks 
this fall.
The Fashion Style That's Right for Your Body Type
Thursday, July 5, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:34 PM
Women have different body types and because of this, women 
require a different fashion style for each type. Sometimes it could be 
quite daunting to go shopping and not really know what clothes are best 
for you. Below are tips for you to follow about the best kind of clothes
 that's right for your body type.
Petite
 women are those with heights up to 5 feet 4 inches. If you're in this 
category, the best strategy for you is to find clothes that would 
elongate your whole frame. As much as possible, you have to try to stick
 to using one color or at least clothes with the same hue from top to 
bottom. This would help make you appear taller.
Also shop at 
petite sections, because wearing clothes that are too long or too big 
for you will make you appear shorter and smaller than you are. Having 
clothes that fit will is one of the most important things to remember 
when choosing a fashion style. And of course, as you need to look 
taller, wearing heels is never a bad idea.
For tall and slim 
women, it is a good idea to make sure you don't wear pants that are too 
short for you. It makes you look bigger than you really are. Also, being
 tall and slim, creating curves is one of your goals. Wearing blouses 
with ruffles and frills will produce an illusion of a curvier body.
Your
 top should be just at the level of the waist and you should wear 
jackets to break off the length of the body. You should also go for 
belts, particularly colorful ones to emphasize your waistline and give 
you an hourglass shape. And try not to wear V-necks as they tend to 
elongate the body.
For women who are plus-sized, it is important 
to remember that the clothes you wear should be just the right fit. 
Wearing clothes that are too loose will make you look even bigger, and 
wearing clothes that are too tight will emphasize the "bulges" that you 
don't want to direct attention to.
Straight leg jeans are great as
 they make your legs longer and slimmer. Your top should not be too 
long. It should just be below your waistline. Also, V-necks or scoop 
tops help elongate the body, giving it a slimmer look.
When 
looking for a fashion style that is good for you, you must always 
consider the different factors that can affect the way your clothes will
 look on you. Of course you must always dress for comfort, but you 
should aim to dress for confidence as well.
How to Differentiate Between Good Styling Courses and the Rest
Tuesday, July 3, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:32 PM
There are many courses offered by numerous styling institutes and
 each of these institutes claims to be the best. However, good styling 
courses have certain characteristics that make them stand out from the 
rest of the courses. Listed below are a few such characteristics and 
some facts that will help you understand which courses are worth 
enrolling for.
Short and Sweet
Most people believe that god courses have to be lengthy in order for the student to learn the most and grasp content. These people fail to understand that short courses are better than lengthier ones mainly because short courses cover the important points and do not have repetition of content. Short styling courses allow students to learn what is needed and they also allow students to get the required training in 3 days or so.
Support and Mentoring
Good styling courses offer mentoring and support while the training lasts and even after the students have completed the curriculum. Good ones ensure that students have someone to turn to, when they have questions, doubts or any queries regarding styling. Good courses do not believe in cutting off students once the course has been completed and once the certificates have been handed out.
Flexible and Versatile
The best courses offered in this industry and flexible and versatile which means that the course timings may be flexible and the students are taught many things to help them in their career. The best courses believe in empowering students and allowing them to grow as stylists while teaching them the principles of hair styling, makeup and other aspects of grooming.
Confidence and Exposure
Good courses allow students to get the required exposure and to gain confidence while learning styling. The best styling courses also teach students how to help clients feel confident by making them look and feel good at all times. Good courses may also teach the student how to multi-task when required in order to get work done, however good courses do not believe in overwhelming students with making them do too many tasks at once.
Online Vs. Hands on Experience 
Although it is possible to find good beauty and make up courses online, the courses offered online may not offer hands on experience which is a must in the fashion industry. The best styling courses usually offer hands on experience in saloons or training centres since these courses are meant to help students understand how to work with a client rather than only providing theoretical knowledge.
