Women's Trendy Fashions

Fashion Icon Alexander McQueen Fashions

2010-02-12T12:00:00.003-05:00

British fashion designer, Alexander McQueen, whose provocative Alexander McQueen fashions made him a global star, was found dead at his London home on Thursday, February 11th, 2010 in what appears to have been a suicide. He was only 40 years old.

Referred to by many as the 'bad boy of fashion', McQueen launched his own label and made instant headlines with a racy, theatrical collection entitled Highland Rape that included his infamous low-cut "bumster" pants. Some call it shock tactics, some just call it radical ideas. In one of his couture shows, he used clear mannequins lit from the inside to show the clothes instead of using runway models. The mannequins were mounted in movable floors and their appearance on the stage was choreographed, giving a feeling of movement. The launching of Alexander McQueen perfumes Kingdom, and My Queen soon followed. In 2005, McQueen collaborated with Puma to create a special line of sneakers for the shoe brand.

Despite any controversy Alexander McQueen has received in the past, he will always remain highly recognized as a creative and innovative fashion designer, with superb tailoring skills and hard-edged street styles. Alexander McQueen fashions have a huge celebrity following including fans like Sara Jessica Parker, David Bowie, and Prodigy's Keith Flint. Alexander McQueen also designed the "Titantic" Oscar dress for Kate Winslet in 1998 that later sold for $57,500 at auction.

Alexander McQueen will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Let's discuss Michelle Obama's fashion choices and think about what kind of impact she will have on the fashion industry, especially during this time of economic recession. Some of the outfits she has already chosen has shown the world that money doesn't buy style, while she does like to splurge on designer brands like her Jimmy Choo shoes or Donna Ricco dresses. Do you think that you'll be a follower of Michelle Obama fashions, or not?

I really like this empire waisted sheath dress. It could easily take you to any outdoor event in style, or it can take you to dinner by simply throwing on a cardigan. This classy graphic leaf-print sheath dress is similar to the one that Michelle Obama wore on the View and by the same designer.

So, leave a favorable impression by putting your best look forward with classy women's clothing and designs by Donna Ricco. Always figure-flattering for a true feminine silhouette.

What's your opinion of this Michelle Obama dress? I like the dress, just need to tone up the arms a little before I could wear it. Also I think this sheath dress could be a couple of inches shorter. What do you think of this Michelle Obama dress? Like it or not?

Would You Wear A Wig?

2007-11-05T19:57:00.000-05:00

Wearing a wig can become a adventure. With a flick of your hair you can have a whole new look in terms of color, style, and length. While it can be exciting to try out a new hairstyle, before you actually buy a wig, you may want to give it some thought. Ask yourself questions like these:

Would I be comfortable wearing a wig? Some people are dedicated naturalists, preferring to avoid cosmetic adjustments to their personal appearance. Folks like these refuse to color their hair, they wear little makeup and skimp on jewelry or scent. If you lean toward the natural look in your appearance, a wig may be a bit extreme, unless you choose one that is similar to your current look. Even those who lose their hair for medical reasons sometimes prefer wearing a bandanna or another type of head covering rather than put on a wig. It's a matter of personal taste, but consider your perspective before making a financial investment, as some wigs are costly.

Will a particular wig suit me? Again, if you're used to wearing short hair and decide to start wearing a long wig with locks that cascade down your back, this could be quite an overnight switch. Of course the choice is up to you, and most likely any new style, no matter how different from your usual look, will quickly become old news after a few days. Try on a variety of styles and colors of wigs to find one that suits your face and personality.

While you don't necessarily want another person to choose your wig for you, it would be helpful if your companion and you could agree on the most flattering wig designs for you. If your buying a wig online, show the pic around before you hit the buy button. Hair pieces and hair extensions
are some other alternatives to wigs.

Wearing your wig out. After purchasing your new hair design, you may want to wear your new wig at home, alone, at first to see how it feels and looks. Then when you are more comfortable, wear it to the store or other short errands and gauge observers' responses. Getting funny looks or sincere compliments will provide feedback that can guide your future use of the wig.

Fun Choosing A Halloween Costume

2007-10-23T16:24:00.000-04:00

I totally love Halloween! Especially attending a Halloween party. Choosing a Halloween costume makes up most of the fun of Halloween. Today the market is literally flooded with Halloween costumes. This is definitely to your advantage. There are many online shops vying for your business in hopes that you'll buy your Halloween Costume there. Deciding which online shop to purchase your Halloween Costume can be mind boggling. So, how do you choose where to buy your Halloween costume? Its easy.

How long an online shop has done business is an important factor to consider when buying a Halloween costume. The longer the better. Second is the quality of Halloween costumes, reputation, price guarantee, and most importantly actual cost. Remember, a shop offering only Halloween costumes would offer a much larger selection, but the prices will be a lot higher for your Halloween costume.

Always plan your Halloween costume well in advance. Every year, a large number of shoppers are disappointed because they are not able to find the Halloween costume of their choice at the last moment. You would certainly don’t want to make frantic last-minute searches from one shop to another in search of your Halloween costume. Another advantage of buying your Halloween costume early is that if the costume doesn’t fit or if you don't like the Halloween costume, you will have time to exchange it. Also, buyer beware, be sure to check into the return policy of the store you choose to buy your Halloween costume. Some do not accept returns of Halloween costumes.

You want to have fun and get the right look in a Halloween costume. Higher pricing on a Halloween costume doesn’t necessarily mean better quality Halloween costume. Halloween retailers have built-in cost efficiencies in their operation, which they are able to pass to their customers and still make a handsome profit! Their automated systems enable them to do a high transaction volume and offer quality Halloween costumes at unbelievable prices. They definitely have the pricing advantage over the Halloween costume stores.

You can find an affordable Halloween costume and you don’t have to compromise on the quality factor buying your Halloween costume online. You also get a much lower price on a Halloween costume buying online. Overstock carries quality Halloween costumes at a discount.

Keep in mind that accessories make your Halloween costume complete. Some accessories may be included as a part of the Halloween costume while others you may have to purchase separately. Sometimes, you may need to use your creativity to match your shoes, hats, wigs, or any other accessories, which you may already have your closet!

If your looking for some real Halloween fun, Halloween Treats and Gifts has much to offer in Halloween cookies, candy, Halloween decorations, and more. You can get your Halloween party off to a great start and Have a Happy Halloween!

Designer Inspired Jewelry for Less

2007-10-14T17:13:00.000-04:00

Designer inspired jewelry is likely to be at the top your wish list whether your a serious jewelry connoisseur or just someone who desires a little sparkle in your life. Inspiration can come in many forms, whether it be a person or a specific idea. Designer inspired jewelry styles are among the most popular and affordable alternatives to the expensive jewelry that is original.

Designer jewelry can be very expensive. Instead of spending a small fortune on one single piece of jewelry, many enjoy the affordable option of designer inspired jewelry styles that look similar to their inspiration concept but are made available at a more reasonable price.

Designer jewelry is typically crafted in platinum or possibly even 18k and 24k gold. In order to keep the costs down, the majority of designer inspired styles are recreated in sterling silver, 10k or 14k gold. The most affordable option of this trio is obviously sterling silver, which contains at least .925 pure silver content. Aside from gold, silver is the easiest to be shaped without compromising it's strength or causing damage to the metal itself. Because sterling silver is estimated to range between 2.5 and 2.7 on the hardness level, it is actually stronger than some types of gold. This factor, alone, makes sterling silver a popular choice for the production of designer inspired jewelry.

How to Choose a Cocktail Dress

2007-10-11T14:58:00.000-04:00

Choosing a Cocktail dress can be a lot of fun! Designers are getting really creative, too. This season is particularly exciting as big circle skirts make a roaring comeback. These flirty, frilly party dresses are flattering to almost any figure. Of course, choosing a cocktail dress can be confusing, particularly if your not built like a model. Here's how to choose a cocktail dress that's right for you.

Cocktail dresses with Halter Top Necklines. Popular and still increasing in popularity, and it's easy to see why. Halter tops flatter the woman who is small on top. The diagonal strap running from bust line to neck divides the shoulders and makes them appear broader. This balances out the figure, making the waist look smaller and the neck more swan-like. And the traditional v-cut décolletage attracts attention to the bust. For this flattering cocktail dress.

Max & Cleo Cocktail Dress

Purchase at Overstock.com Only $73.99

Cocktail party dresses. If you like romance, this is one of the best trend in cocktail dresses. Big fluffy circle skirts are showing up everywhere. They're fun, and what's even better, flattering to almost everyone. And the patterns this time around are not just for those who like their dresses lacy and frothy. They're also appearing in bold modern prints that will satisfy even the most meek. The party cocktail dresses that have form-fitting tops, full skirts, and clean lines will look the best on petites. However, petites should be cautious of are ones that are extremely girly. If it's white and lacy and laden with pink sweetheart roses, it may make the petite woman look like she's off to her 5th birthday party. Other than that, this is a fabulous style for the petite woman who wants a fun cocktail dress.

A cocktail dress with an asymmetrical hemline. Handkerchief and jagged hemlines are back in fashion with a vengeance. Although these hemlines can look fresh and new, they can also make the legs look shorter. Petites should avoid most mid-calf skirt lengths, and this includes those with asymmetrical hems. The severely jagged skirts break up the line of the leg and make short legs look even shorter. To wear this style, choose instead those hems with less severe jags, where the highest and lowest parts of the hemline are no more than a couple inches apart. Choose hemlines that are miniskirt length or knee-length. Another type of asymmetrical hemline is the diagonal cut, where the skirt is miniskirt length level on one leg and knee-length by the time it hits the other. But be aware that the diagonal line running across your thighs will tend to make them appear larger. Women who are petite on bottom can carry off this hemline.

Cocktail dress with flowing skirts. In chiffon, silk or even fine cotton, flowing fabrics are showing up everywhere this season, particularly in floral prints and sherbet-hued solids. They are fun and ethereal, but exercise good judgment! Empire-waisted baby doll dresses can overwhelm women and make them look like grade-schoolers. Solid color, jagged chiffon skirts can too easily look like ice skating dresses. The more form-fitted, printed chiffons are a great way to enjoy the look without being overwhelmed by yards of fabric.

Cocktail dresses with belts, particularly wide ribbon, are a great way to add sharp detailing to a simple dress. The empire waist belts are flattering to women who are petite on top. Their sixties vibe can be quite chic on the dresses of today. Waist-level ribbon belts define the top from the skirt and are most flattering to women with small waists. But remember that in either case, a horizontal line across the dress will break up the elongated line of the body. To avoid this, look for belts that are close in color or tone to the dress. Or, consider changing the belt that comes with the dress to a ribbon of a different color. If you like the ribbon belt look but your dress is beltless, you can even add a ribbon of your own choosing to a new or an old dress.

Cocktail dress with added pieces of fabric. Loose strips of fabric and ribbon have been appearing all over cocktail dresses this season, hanging from the waist, shoulders, or décolletage. Petites should be cautious with this trend. Although petite women can add bulk without looking heavier, they can also easily be overshadowed by particularly ornate clothing. So stay away from the bulky curtain pulls hanging from the bust. Instead look for the versions that use small wisps of chiffon or slender ribbons to create the same effect.

Cocktail sheath dress. If the full circle skirt is not quite you, you're still in luck, because sheaths are going strong this spring. The hottest ones are textured or brocaded, halter top or strapless. Textured, solid color dresses can be highly flattering to the petite woman, as they elongate while still adding interest.

Cocktail dress with mixed textures. This is one of the biggest trends everywhere in the design industry. It is a new way to add interest while keeping the clean, unified look of a solid color. Detailed embroidery, beading, and metallic threads are adorning cocktail dresses of all shapes. A frock can still have simple clean flattering lines but be made more interesting with decorative beading, or with the subtle shimmer of touches of golden thread. Designers are also creating stunning dresses by mixing fabrics that are all the same color. This is a great way to keep the flattering solid color while still having interest in the dress.

What's New in Skirts This Season

2007-10-10T14:51:00.000-04:00

This season's skirts are cinched at the waists with skirts ending slightly above the knee. The runways favor black, gray, metallics and jewel tones in a skirt. Pencil skirts create a polished look and are great professional wear for the office. Lengths vary in skirts and just about any length skirt is in vogue.

A skirt that matches your jackets are the where separates are concerned. A black skirt is recommended. That way, your new skirt, when paired with a favorite black jacket, would make a great new skirt suit that is just right for Fall 2008. That black skirt would go well with your other tops too and a smart switch of accessories would update it for Spring, Summer and the seasons ahead. The black skirt is a classic wardrobe piece of women's clothing, so invest in a great black skirt that can be one of your wardrobe basics.

Skirts don't have to be only about business either A frilly chiffon skirt would go beautifully with matching tops for this season's romantic look. It could be black, red, pink or any color that matches a simple top. Of course, if you want to stay in trend, the color purple will be favored for Fall and Winter 2008/2009.

Next upcoming season is winter. Party season. What type of skirt should you wear? A metallic skirt would look great. If your hips are narrow, go for a pouf or full metallic skirt for drama and to give you curves. If your hips are wide, slim them down with a narrow black skirt but a glittery top.

Another skirt considered hot for the fall and winter season is the high waisted skirt. That skirt is wonderful for long torsos. It visually shortens the torso and makes legs look longer in contrast.

Animal prints are hot in skirts this year, too. This season's animal prints do not look like any particular animal, though. I guess designers are sick of animal rights activists barging into their shows with anti-fur protests so they feature prints that are clearly not real fur, so animal protectors know for sure no animal had to give up its life in the name of fashion. A stunning animal print skirt makes you look sexier and it spices up your look. Of course, it should be worn with a solid top.

Finding the perfect skirt for you would be something that flatters your figure and that you like before even trying in on. Check out Discount Clothing for Women where you'll find women's clothing, including skirts, at really good prices.
