Fall Fashion Trend - Take Your Jacket To The Shrink
by: Brenna Cleeland
Fall and winter may have brought out long peacoats and trenches before, but not this year. One of the most sought-after pieces for the upcoming season will be the shrunken jacket, in a variety of styles. The difference between these new, tinier versions of your traditional autumn and winter favorites is their length; cuts are the same as traditional coats, but they hit slightly above the waist and often tie or button under the chest. The beauty of these new pieces is that they provide coverage in colder months without sacrificing sexiness or femininity.
The perfect jacket is one of the most important elements of your wardrobe, and with so many shapes and fabrics available this fall, it would be a crime to choose just one. The ever-present denim jacket is back with a new vengeance. Instead of the washes of last season or bulkiness of years before, this season?s denim jacket is soft, body-conscious and far more feminine than the traditional denim jacket. Corduroy and leather are back again, cropped and ready to be worn over anything from your favorite dress to distressed jeans.
A new take on an old favorite is safe, but take advantage on the amazing new fabrics and styles the end of the year has to offer. Brocade is big this season and some of the most sought-after new jackets are made of the rich, detailed design. Many of these brocaded, boudoir-style jackets are trimmed in rich velvet or lace piping and can be paired with tweed trousers of you favorite jeans. Many of these new jackets are cut at the hip but some are reaching even higher?cropped just below the chest (H & M). Made in rich, new fabrics like tweed and velvet, these jackets have mixed a traditionally matronly fabric with a cut and cling that makes it youthful and sexy. Even faux fur and metallic finishes are adorning the newest trend (Allen B. by Allen Schwartz).
Getting short isn?t the only new addition to a cold weather favorite. Sleeves are getting revamped this season, retro-style. Traditional coat fabrics like houndstooth are being used in a new way. Bell sleeves (think bellbottom sleeves, cut below the elbow) mix cropped length with a traditional fabric and throwback to 70s style (Banana Republic). You?ll also see a mini version of the military jacket this season; a cropped, girlie take on the long, heavy style, adorned with brass buttons and zippers (Bebe).
The beauty of these new jackets is the versatility they bring to your own style: mix them with denim, dresses, skirts and trousers. Since there isn?t one specific style or fabric that will reign this fall, all styles and sizes can take advantage of a new take on an old favorite.

How to put together a wardrobe using blue color to take you through work, play and romance
How to put together a wardrobe using blue color to take you through work, play and romance
by: Janice Wee
Imagine a wardrobe where everything you have goes with everything else.
Actually, if everything is black, you know, your bag is black, your dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes are all black, then everything would go with everything else. That is the trick some chic travellers use. All black wardrobe for a holiday in the city and an all white wardrobe for a holiday by the beach. But that would be really boring.
Instead of basing your entire wardrobe on black, you could base it on a versatile color. Blue comes to mind right away.
After all, blue is a great color for the office. That dark blue outfit gives you an air of authority. Blue is a very professional color.
Although blue tends to be associated with boys, women do look great in blue too. If you look great in blue, you could give it a feminine touch with pink accents. Blue...

Maternity Clothes Trends
Maternity Clothes Trends
by: Kathryn Whittaker
For most women, the most stylish maternity clothes solution is to wear stretch classic jeans and a man?s white oxford shirt. However, the day comes when they face the inevitable: the visit to a maternity clothes store, either for a special occasion outfit, or to browse the plus size maternity clothes section in search for the most flattering solution to their style dilemmas. So what exactly should an expecting mom look for in maternity clothes, either regular or plus-size ones?
For the first few months most women can get along with the wardrobe they already have. Slightly bigger breasts and increased waistline will make them sexier, not bigger. But when regular clothes do not work anymore, most women prefer to forget about fashion trends and cocoon themselves into shapeless dresses or high-waist slacks paired with voluptuous sweaters.
First of all, don?t try to hide your condition. It?s...

The Truth About Plus Size Beauty
The Truth About Plus Size Beauty
by: Janice Wee
Some of the sexiest women in the world are considered on the heavy side. Can a woman who wears a size 12 dress and lifts weights to keep fit considered sexy?
Marilyn Monroe wore a size 12 dress. She actually lifted weights regularly to keep fit. Yet men found her incredibly sexy, a favourite pin up girl then, a sex symbol now, years after her tragic death.
When Jennifer Lopez first started out, her critics said she wouldn't fo far, because her behind was way too big. Undaunted, she flaunted her curvy bottom. Now, women are going for butt implants, to be just like her.
Guys like curvy women. Take Eminem's hit for example. Ass like that. It is basically about women with curvy bottoms. Plus size bottoms. Men do find big bottoms sexy. Plus size women can be sexy.
Seriously. How sexy is a skeleton? If a woman's bones are showing through her skin, is she really sexy? Yet women, from...

The Feel Good Factor in Womens Shoes
The Feel Good Factor in Womens Shoes
by: Shelley Costello
For some its jewellery, for others its clothes, jeans, handbags and so on but there is definitely something about womens shoes.
Shoes can be traced back well before Christ and in ancient Egypt, shoes were considered a status symbol.
Fashion critic, Holly Brubach wrote ?a pair of new shoes might not cure a broken heart or soothe a tension headache but they will relieve the symptoms and chase away the blues?.
Over time, shoes have evolved.
Each year sees a new trend whether it?s in heel style, materials and textures or overall design.
Within each trend we see a reinvention of a fashion seen decades ago.
Platforms born in the seventies return with a more ?eco? style with hemp and cork soles.
Styles from each decade have returned, sometimes more than once but each time with an added twist to the style and design.
There...

Thrift Store Shopping Tips
Thrift Store Shopping Tips
by: Sintilia Miecevole
If you are tired of seeing the same old clothing styles at mall department stores and boutiques, it may be time to add a little spice to your wardrobe. Rather than looking just like everyone else, thrift stores offer access to unique items not found anywhere else- at least not in the last twenty or so years! Not only are thrift store clothes relatively inexpensive, but they can also be ultra hip. If you approach it the right way, you may be able to create your very own personal style by mixing the old and the new.
When you first decide to embark on a thrift store shopping spree, there are a few things to remember. Firstly, a lot of thrift stores only take cash, so if you are used to grabbing Daddy?s credit card and going to town, you?ll have to make other arrangements. Some stores do take checks, so you might want to have your checkbook handy. Secondly, a lot of thrift stores do not have dressing...
