Fashion Accessories Article: Accessories Guide

There are many things that can be done to make an outfit more attractive. Every woman should make an effort to find the right accessories that will enhance her look and make the clothes she is wearing really stand out. One of the items that can quickly add interest and beauty to even the plainest clothing is a beautiful necklace. There are many styles to choose from. Pendant necklaces are popular and go well with most outfits. There are many bold and brightly colored necklaces being sold today. A necklace made of blue stones can instantly emphasize an attractive neckline. It is important not to overdo accessories. A bright necklace matched with a top that has a busy design will clash and look overdone. It is best to pair bright, colored necklaces with one-color tops.

A pair of earrings is another accessory that will add color and sparkle to the wearer. Many women with short hair love to wear oversized earrings. This can look very stunning and bring attention to an attractive haircut. Earrings come in so many colors and varieties and it is up to the individual to decide which look she prefers. Rings and bracelets will really dress up a bare hand and wrist. An assortment of bangles can be worn together on the wrist. Some women like to wear large gold or silver bracelets around their upper arms. This can look stunning with a sleeveless dress. Rings can make pretty hands the focal point of attention. A manicure will show off beautifully shaped nails. Chipped nail polish should be avoided at all costs.

Wearing the right pair of shoes can make any woman feel like a queen. High-heeled shoes will instantly add height and authority to the petite woman. A pair of black boots worn with dark tights is a great winter and fall look. A white t-shirt and jeans will look fabulous with a pair of red high-heel shoes. The shoes will add instant glamour to an otherwise casual outfit. To project a polished look, it is important to always be perfectly groomed. An effort should be made to have an attractive hairstyle that suits the proportion and shape of the face. Amazing beauty makeovers can be achieved simply by changing the style of the hair. Nothing ages more than an unshapely hairstyle. A woman who takes care of her looks will always project an air of confidence. When it is time to relax at home, a comfortable pair of slouch socks will prove the perfect accessory for the fashionable woman.

Fashion Article: Looking Fabulous This New Year’s Whether Your A Size 2 Or 22

New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and for many of us that leaves us scrambling to find the perfect ensemble for a night out on the town. While looking your best on New Year’s is always on everyone’s mind, shopping for that great outfit isn’t always an easy or enjoyable experience and is therefore often pushed to the back of our minds. However, you can’t exactly attend a New Year’s party without a great dress, and shopping doesn’t have to be so hard as long as you adhere to a few easy rules:

Easy on the Sparkle

While the holidays are full of extravagant décor and plenty of silver and gold, you do actually want to hold off on completely decking yourself out in it over New Years. A little shimmer here and there, such as a beautiful sparkling necklace and earring set to go with that amazing clutch, is perfectly fine, but having a dress that looks like it was attacked by a Bedazzler along with glitter encrusted heel, and that same handbag and jewelry set will have you looking like a disco ball.

Sure, glitter and sparkle is expected on New Year’s, just be sure to incorporate it into your own outfit in a tasteful manner.

Chiffon is Always Elegant

Picking the right style of dress isn’t always easy. On top of trying to look good, you also have to find a dress that is comfortable enough to party all night in. Not to mention, one that isn’t some awful fabric that will show every wrinkle from sitting or every mark from brushing up against the bar or other party-goers. So what is the best type of dress to get? Something dark and in Chiffon.

Not only is Chiffon nice and breathable making it very comfortable to stay in all night, but it is also very elegant due to its flowiness and it very forgiving due to the way most designers use the fabric in a loose layered way. So when in doubt, pick a dress that is made out of Chiffon.

Watch the Length of Your Dress

Let’s face it ladies – we are not 18 anymore. A skirt or dress that stops just below your butt is by no means appropriate. The only time it is acceptable is if you have leggings on underneath, otherwise you shouldn’t be wearing such things.

For women, a tasteful skirt or dress needs to be just above or below your knee depending on whichever style fits you best. Not only will this allow you to show off your figure in a tasteful manner, but it will also allow you to show off the great pair of pumps you pick out for New Year’s too.

New Year’s Eve should be a nice evening of great dining, drinks, and fun. Don’t bog yourself down with worrying about your wardrobe. Pick something that is comfortable, fun, and that represents yourself in a tasteful manner and you can’t go wrong.

Fashion Article: Choosing The Perfect Winter Coat

Winter is approaching fast and for most Northern Hemisphere shoppers, the time has come to look for a good winter coat- something to see us through the chilly months warm, dry, and looking good. There are tens of thousands to choose and picking the perfect one can be quite tricky. The first thing to do is think about the material. Here are a few of the most likely picks:

-Wool. It’s warm but heavy, and highly variable in quality. If you want the best, look for a Merino wool. It’s finer than most others and less itchy, and it’s naturally good at not picking up odors. Wool is never all that easy to wash, so it’s a definitely plus.

-Down. Not so much a material as a filling, down is the best lightweight insulation money can buy. Despite all the ‘smart fibers’ on the market today, the suits worn by polar explorers and Everest mountaineers are still filled with good old fashioned down. There is a big difference between the best high grade goose down and a lesser mix of duck down and feather- the former is a whole lot lighter and warmer. Down quality is usually expressed as a ‘fill power’. If you’re looking for a really warm, really light jacket, make sure the maker lists a fill power of at least 550.

-Synthetic fill. The problem with down is that it doesn’t like getting wet. It’s hard to wash and if it gets wet in a rain shower it won’t do anything to keep you warm at all. Synthetic insulation will offer some warmth even when damp and it’s easier to clean, but on the other hand, it’s not quite so light. Look for a well-known name (eg Primaloft- many clothing manufacturers buy their insulation from these experts). One bonus to choosing a synthetic fill coat over a down one is that synthetic insulation usually looks a little less bulky and puffy.

-Fleece. The best and warmest modern fleece jackets and tops are wonderfully warm and gorgeous to wear. They’re soft, furry, and can provide a much-needed touch of winter luxury. Most of them won’t cut out the wind, though, so they’re best worn under a coat that will.

Waterproof or not waterproof?

Some fabrics, like natural wool, have a degree of shower-resistance, and there are plenty of fully waterproof coats on the market. One thing to watch out for is breathability- cheaper waterproofs can feel sweaty and damp inside if you get warm while walking up stairs, for example. Materials like GoreTex and eVent are fully waterproof but feel more comfortable to wear when you’re active.

Cut and stitching

A winter coat can be any length but watch out for short jackets- if there is a gap around your midriff you’ll really feel it on a cold day! Coats that reach halfway down the thighs insulate some major arteries and help keep the blood (and hence your body) nice and warm.
Stitching can be the ruin of any piece of winter clothing but it’s most often a problem with down jackets and other insulated coats. All too often a line of stitching lets the wind blow right in, creating a cold patch across the seam. Beware of jackets with stitching that goes all the way through and look for those with a consistent thickness of cloth between you and the chill. Make sure zips have baffles behind so draughts won’t get to you that way.

Plus Size Product Review: That Way Hat

That Way Hat was kind enough to send a free hat for review. That Way Hat features Artisan and Designer hats for women. I was interested in the Kangol French Painters’ Cap which has a grey, black, and green houndstooth check pattern. I am fond of newsboy style hats and this unisex hat can be worn by both women and men.

When I first received the Kangol French Painters’ Cap for review on inspection I did find a hole in the seam of the hat. This can be a natural problem for fabric hats but I was able to successfully stitch the cap up. On first look at the cap the colors and pattern in the hat were more vibrant and looked better than the product photo. I was pleased to find the upper part of the hat is soft and stretchy, which is a plus for those of us who wear a larger hat size and have difficulty finding good fitting hats. The fabric is a soft Jacquard acrylic that fits comfortably on the head. This hat fit perfectly with plenty of room to spare. The floppy top of the hat has a large houndstooth check pattern in dark grey, black and green, while the brim has a small check pattern which together is very appealing.

The Kangol French Painters’ Cap is priced at $15.00 and the company offers a special $3.00 USPS shipping rate for any size hat. The hat is a perfect choice to pair with your menswear style vests or suits, or gifted to your special someone. Speaking of that special someone, That Way Hat has a line of men’s hats to consider for gift giving, including wool fedoras, a wool outback cowboy hat, and a wool driving Scally Cap. That Way Hats are available at their online store and soon will be available for purchase at Amazon.com.

For those of you looking for a more feminine hat design you may want to check out some of their custom made women’s Artisan hats by designers Kristy Albury, Shear Essence, and Jacob James, or some of their cute new line of women’s Wool Hats with Felt Bow in a variety of colors.

I have to say I am pleased with the Kangol French Painters’ Cap, it is a good bargain for the quality of the product.
