Where The Wild Things Are Fashion

Posted by fashiondevo on October 30, 2009

Where The Wild Things Are Fashion. With the new movie coming out, which is now in theaters, I remember a time when I loved that book. It’s a classic story and now Where the Wild Things fashion is taking the world by storm. For a while now I’ve seen some of the fashion at Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, and Alloy. Brooklyn designer Mary Meye even created a whole line exclusively for Urban Outfitters inspired by the movie. From tees, to pillow, and even a key chain you can’t miss with this wild look.

Mini-Skirts

Posted by fashiondevo on June 20, 2007

The mini skirt has been part of most women’s wardrobes since the 1960’s, although the concept began in the 1920’s. Flirty, fun, and feminine, this skirt has earned it’s way into our closets, both as a fashion statement and a sign of liberation. With it’s countless cuts, materials, and colors, you are sure to find the mini skirt that’s right for you. However, because of this fashion diversity, it’s hard to tell just by looking which skirt will complement your figure. One skirt you see on a super model in Vogue may look awful on you, while another that looked unappealing might have a special charm to it once you’ve tried it on yourself. Understanding some of the fashion “do’s and don’ts” of mini skirts, you’ll be able to create your own flattering signature look.

When you go shopping for a mini skirt, you need to first assess the cut of the skirt. There are very tight ones, made from spandex, that were popular in the 1980s. These are only suitable for those us of gifted with extremely toned and shapely buns and thighs. Another cut is the “A-line” which is a plain-edged, not particularly tight fitting cut that first became popular during the 1960’s and 1970’s during the so-called “Women’s Liberation Movement”. Happily, this style is suitable for most everyone, because the plain lines draw attention away from any leg imperfections.

Some may consider the A-line look too plain, so for this audience there is the ultra feminine silky mini skirt. This skirt has lots of layers of almost transparent silks and raffias, both of which have a pixie fairy-like quality to them. The interesting thing about this style is that it originated in the 1920s, when flapper styles were all the rage. The skirt was not actually above the knee, but was designed in such a way that when the flapper girl walked or danced, her knee and lower thigh were exposed. As you may imagine,the style was very avant garde for those times. Fringes at the hem were often part of this flapper style mini skirt.

These short skirts make excellent companions to shoes, because you can combine them with any heel height. A mini skirt paired with heels always makes your legs look longer, leaner, and more toned. Boots, too, look great with the mini skirt. This look is classic mini skirt, going back to the 1970’s, when go-go dancing was popular.

You may think that mini skirts are only suitable for summer. However, this is just not the case. As the weather gets cooler, you may still like one particular skirt that was a summer favorite. Not to worry! Instead of letting it go to waste, why not get a pair of leggings? With leggings, you can wear these skirts at any time of the year. Worn with a long coat, you can be both warm and pretty!

Shopping on a Budget

Posted by fashiondevo on May 2, 2007

If you’re looking to save money, one of the best ways to save is to cut down on your unnecessary expenses. This can range from having one less meal at a restaurant every week to moving to a smaller apartment. Cutting down on expenses doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t buy as many things; you can save quite a bit if you buy the same items at lower prices.

Buying discounted clothes is a great way to save, since you need to buy some clothes one way or another. Though many people, myself included, try to avoid buying clothes we don’t need, sometimes a new job or just boredom with your own wardrobe will prompt you to go clothes shopping. Most clothes in department stores are sold at a significant markup, which means that if you pay attention and wait for a sale or a clearance you can get discounted clothes and pay ½ as much as you would if you were to buy the clothes at their retail prices. This holds true for men’s, women’s, and even children’s clothes in almost every department store in America. Watch for particularly deep discounts right after the holidays when stores are trying to clear out the inventories they’ve built up for the holiday season. Also, look for sales at the end of seasons. Leftover winter clothing is usually sold at deep discounts when spring rolls around, and summer clothes can be picked up for a song in late fall. The best way to pick up discounted clothes at rock-bottom prices is to keep an eye on the types of clothes you want over the course of a few months, not buying until they go on sale. This strategy will let you get the best bargains in retail department stores.

Now a days, you don’t have to shop at places like the Salvation Army, or Goodwill outlet. Many people scoff at the idea of buying pre-owned discounted clothes. Sometimes it can be a fun idea and you can find some really great vintage items. If you’re not up to wearing other people’s clothing you can always go to low-buget stores like Old Navy, Marshall’s and other oulets. Some places, will have suits and dresses from top designers like Polo and Dolce & Gabanna, clothes in great condition at amazing prices. All of these clothing are pretty much like the orginals, the stores allow you to dress in designer clothes at department store prices. It may take a little more hunting in order to track down good deals. However, if you’re willing to sort through the racks and racks of clothes you can often snag some amazing deals.

Tips For Getting Ready for Prom

Posted by fashiondevo on April 25, 2007

Prom is a day that you have been dreaming about for a long time. You are going to want everything to be as perfect as possible from the top of your hair to the style of shoes on your feet. Prom can be a handful when getting ready but with some helpful tips you will be able to handle Prom like a pro.

1. Proms can cost a lot of money so make sure you have enough cash before you buy anything. If you haven’t been saving money in the months before hand, I’m sure your parents will help you with some extra cash. Just be sure not to take advantage of their generosity. By the time you have paid for tickets, bought an outfit and arranged transportation your money might be a little low. Some ways in which you can cut back on some money is by going with a group of friends, maybe even going by yourself. Prom can be very expensive so be careful and spend your money wisely.

2. Have you bought your shoes and accessories yet? If you haven’t, make sure you get your shoes and accessories in a timely fashion. You want to have time to break in your shoes. After all, you don’t want to trip and fall on the night of your prom. When you are buying heels, test them out first. Stand them up on a smooth surface, and tap them a little bit. If the heels fall then that means they are fragile and you have to be careful when walking in them. When you buy your accessories make sure you have the right colors and that nothing clashes with your dress. Your dress is very important part of prom, like you already know. So make sure it is the exact way that you want it. If your dress is not up to part make sure you take it to a tailor to make further adjustments.

3. On the day of prom make sure that all of the shops that you might have to get last minute things from are open. Some of these might include flower stores, dress shops, tuxedo places and many more. The worst thing that could happen is that the store of which your date’s tuxedo is from is closed on the day of prom.

4. If you want a corsage for prom night make sure you go with your date to pick out what color you want and the arrangement in which you want your flowers. Most guys don’t know what type of corsage to get and chances are he will wind up getting something that you might not like. Also make sure you remind him to pick up your corsage and put it in the fridge before he picks you up for prom. Your date might have a lot on his mind and forget to pick it up.

5. Make sure that you confirm all your appointments at least 3 weeks before prom. You want to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Confirm all hair, nails, transportation, and make-up. Be sure that your date has everything together as well, after all you want to make sure things are perfect for the big night. When you get your hair. Make sure to wear a button down shirt when you have your hair done. You don’t want to mess up your fresh do.

6. Last but not least, enjoy yourself, everything always has a way of working out even if it’s not according to plan. Prom is fun and stressing about it will only make it a bad experience.

Follow Your Own Fashion Sense.

Posted by fashiondevo on April 7, 2007

A lot of younger girls, and even some older ones, are hopelessly smitten with celebrity fashions. Though I don’t think there is anything wrong with this, it can be a problem. Some girls are trying to wear celebrity fashions that are entirely too much for them. When a twelve-year-old girl has a thong peeking up above her jeans, you have to cringe a bit, and wonder why her mother let her out of the door that morning. Sex sells, but should it be selling to that young of an age group?

There is something about celebrity fashions that catches the imaginations of teenagers and adults alike. They always have the latest fashions, and celebrities are worshiped in our world. They have the money to buy the newest fashions, and they have to keep one step ahead. There is nothing wrong with wanting to wear celebrity fashions, but you should know that there is a good way to go about it, and after that, you have crossed the line into the absurd. You really have to consider what you look like when putting something on, celebrity look or not. Many of the clothes are meant to be larger than life, and they should stay on television and out of your wardrobe.

Celebrity fashions are often dictated by fashion designers. When it comes to big events, most celebrities don’t even pick out or pay for their own clothing. Designers give them dresses to wear. If you want to get that particular dress, I hope you have a lot of money to blow on clothing. Another thing to consider is lifestyle. A celebrity is expected to be larger than life (take Cher for example) but most of us end up looking ridiculous if we copy some of the celebrity fashions you see in the magazines. Some things should stay on the pages of a magazine and should never be worn to the grocery store.

If you like celebrity fashions, you should make a few adjustments before you go shopping. Don’t copy anyone, because you want to be yourself first and foremost. If you like certain celebrity fashions, you can incorporate them into your own look. Don’t be a look alike, be an original. Take your favorite parts of celebrity fashions and find a way to make them work within your wardrobe while keeping your own personality and taste involved. You may find you love this more than following the celebrity fashions to the letter. Nothing is more fashionable than being yourself.

The Hottest Celebrity Fashion

Posted by fashiondevo on April 3, 2007

Celebrity fashion has become somewhat of an obsession for the public and the media nowadays. Many people don’t watch the award shows to see who is winning what awards, they want to see what everyone is wearing. You ca get the hottest trends from award shows. The media can do entire hour-long shows over and over again on celebrity fashion. No matter what a celebrity is wearing, once it is in pictures and in the media, people will want to be buying whatever it is they are wearing. The problem with that becomes the fact that the celebrity fashion choices are usually way too expensive. Normal people cannot find the extra financing to purchase such fashion items, so they may settle for something generic that simply mimics their expensive tastes.

Magazines have tons of articles and pages devoted to nothing but celebrity fashion. They give tips on how to dress like a celebrity, how to get their outfits on a lower scale budget and even criticize how celebrity fashion can end up in disasters. Let’s face it, people are crazy about celebrity fashion. They figure that if they see their favorite celebrity wearing a particular outfit, that means it is stylish. Celebrities wear the most beautiful gowns to events and award shows but they don’t actually own them. At least, not the majority of them. The designers will send their designs and dresses to celebrities in order to get them to wear them and have the publicity. That’s how important celebrity fashion has become. Designers utilize public appearances for advertisements. If a celebrity looks like a knockout in a particular dress, it doesn’t mean that I’m in a hurry to run out and buy that dress by that designer. It simply means I admire it. It also doesn’t mean that I’m more likely to wear a particular
designer simply because someone famous was wearing it. Celebrity fashion doesn’t make me want to buy anything in particular.

People have been intrigued by celebrity fashion for years and years. They will frequent the boutiques and stores that their favorite celebrity shops at. Some extreme fans of celebrity fashion will accumulate credit cards of debt just to get the same outfits that a particular person was wearing on a show or in a magazine. To those overly obsessed people, I say, get a life. There are many more important things in the world than celebrity fashion and trying to look like them. Just because you wear something that they worn in public doesn’t mean you’re going to suddenly turn into them or become famous yourself. Sure, you may look like you have more money than you do have, but you don’t have the same checking account that celebrities do in order to pay things off. So its best to always look your best with the budget you have, but there are ways to look like you’re wearing the top designers at low prices….. more on this in part 2.

Prom is Coming

Posted by fashiondevo on March 30, 2007

Prom is Coming

It doesn’t matter if you’re a teenager or all grown up, you just have to love Prom season. Now of course the best time is when you are preparing for your own prom, but unfortuately that only last so long.

I still love to see every dressed up in their finest apparel, going on their dream dates. It live a fantasy come true. All those years of reading Cinderella have now finally paid off. You get to dress like a fairy princess(or princess) and look stuning all night long. Who doesn’t like that.

I especially like to see what other people wear to their proms. Some people are quite creative. I see some expensive stuff that looked very drab, and I see some put together stuff that was rather sheik.

In any case it’s a wonder time, and I always enjoy this time of year. What’s your favorite prom story?

Hair Bows are Cutting-Edge Hair Accessories

Posted by fashiondevo on January 17, 2007

Hair Bows are Cutting-Edge Hair Accessories

You’ve got your ensemble perfectly coordinated and accesorized down to a gnat’s eyebrow. Your boyfriend says your emerald green gown sets off your eyes in a fetching way. Your gold bangle bracelets add some sparkle, and the jade anklet is the cat’s meow, so to speak. Your nails are manicured with a few coats of Fire Engine Red and stylish French tips.

What’s missing from this picture of elegant beauty? You may not be aware that hair bows are cutting-edge hair accessories today, enjoying a resurgence in popularity. These bows were popular in the late 1940’s and 1950’s, but fell out of favor, until now.

You probably have a basket full of Scrunchies, in every color of the rainbow. Velvet, cotton, satin or some strange holographic fabric. Some drawer is probably filled with hair clips, barrettes and combs. Well, now there’s something to add to your hair ornament repertoire. Hair bows.

Hair bows available in the 1950’s were rather stiff-looking and unimaginative Goody Two Shoes affairs. A grosgrain ribbon, fixed to a large bobby pin and starched within an inch of its life, it’s small wonder that the poor hair bow suffered a decline in popularity.

Hooray for modern technology! The world of textiles today offers more possibilities than you could consider in a lifetime. Go to any large fabric store and investigate the ribbon and trim section. There are woven-design ribbons, lace, metallics, holographics, satin, ethnic and yes, grosgrain. If you’re even just a little bit handy with a sewing needle and can operate a glue gun, you’re in business.

Specialty clothing and accessory shops carry exotic ready-made hair bows using fabulous combinations of ribbons and the most interesting designs. Soft metallic ribbons, artfully tied into bows, can be the perfect stunning hair ornament.

Hair bows need not be limited to a night at the ballet. A different take on this chameleon of hair adornments can give you a great look with jeans and T-shirt.

No matter what your hair style, length or texture, you can take advantage of the bow comeback. Here are a few ideas on using hair bows.

If your hair is thin and very straight, small thin satin hair bows look elegant and feminine. You can clip them in to hold hair away from your face, or set them in braids at the midpoint or end. With French braids, the bows can be used to create a Guinevere effect, right out of a fairytale.

If your hair is curly or wavy, lucky you! Masses of curls can be swept on top of your head and fixed in place with a hair bow. Larger hair bows can be everyday wear for those with thick or curly hair.

Hair bows look great on everyone as a ponytail decoration.

Hair bows are a wonderful new development on the fashion scene. Just don’t go too crazy with them. You’ll know when you look in the mirror. There is such a thing as too much!
