Shopping 101 : Things to consider in buying...

To be truly fashionable, you need not only to wear your Designer Clothes but you have to be beautiful also from your within. Most of us spend a lot of money in shopping. Clothes, Bags, Shoes, Accessories and a lot more! Spending money, time and effort during shopping while you haven't got what you like can be very frustrating. So what are things we should practice in shopping? Here are some pointers that you can use and will help you shop for what you need.

Time is important. Shop in off-peak hours when the store is less crowded, its is much easier for you to choose anything you like when there is not much people on the store. You can find an empty fitting room and can ask the sales lady for help.

Comfortable Wear. Wear clothes were you can move freely and comfortable while shopping. Don't use clothes with multiple buttons, tight collars,
panty-hose and lace-up shoes to avoid hassles. Use proper undergarments that fits you as well.

Check for Quality. Always look at the inside of a garment to see how it is finished. It should be in good condition, seams tight and uniform. Quality should not always be compromise when it comes to shopping, check what you purchase always before going to counter if its meet all your expectations. Find your own style that look great on you.

Spend Wisely. Avoid impulse buys and plan your spending. Don't over spend for the thing you don't need, make a list. Spend money wisely while finding fashions that flatter your figure and stick with it. Wearing the latest style and trend in fashion will keep you updated but I think you have to keep your wardrobe versatile, mix it with trendy and classic style. If you can, leave the checkbook and credit cards at home or in your car.

Alternative Shopping. Try shopping at thrift stores, warehouse sales, yard sales and garage sales. You can buy item at clearance and sale price with this idea. Perhaps, try to shop online they also offering big discounts like Designer Clothes Online.

Considering all, always keep in mind that beauty and fashion is in the eye of the beholder. What ever you think that will good at you, do it! Sometimes even though how stylish and fashionable you are but to the other people it will not be as appealing as you think. Always remember that be your self is the first rule. Trust your self in choosing the right one for you and the most important of all... enjoy! Happy Shopping!

Spring Time : Fashion on the GO!

Well, clean up your closet and take out those Ralph Lauren sweater and jackets. Do some wardrobe check before its too late. Move over winter and spring is coming. Hmmm, what is spring? Spring is the beginning of a new life, touches the wonderful nature's mood, blossoming flowers that will inspire designer to create a new sense of fashion for this 2009 spring. The bright and lively colors are in the top list that will incorporate designers to their new collections with the combination of translucent and neutral tones. Yet, the sophisticated and elegant style is still on it. It's time to let us know what is “in” in the fashion world for this season. Here are my top five trends for spring this year.

1. Transparent Fabrics – silhouettes, see through fabric are still “in” this year, more womanly, sexy, daring and tempting. The more revealing, the better!

2. Asymmetrical Styles – this is the one of my favorite, it sets the appeal of grecian looks that make you feel like one of the “goddess”. Its refer to the never ending beauty, sexy and sensual. The one shoulder fashion trend is back this 2009.

3. Midriff – this season the fashion is also focus to the middle part of the body, so why not try to show your abdomen, expose your stomach. The sexy and seductive looks that makes men to turn back their heads when you pass by.

4. Chunky Platform Shoe – it comes in different variety and styles. For these year, the lucite high heels and platforms have seen revival. It will give you extra height but easy to walk in the more dramatic, wackier and chunkier the better. So good bye high heels with thin soles.

5. Jumpsuits – is a one-piece garment also known as boiler suit. Its a sassy, cosy and comportable jumper looking suit that you surely loves in short, long, plain, printed, sexy and genie styles.

The color of spring is green, its calming hue. While the other color is blue, pink, lilac, and of course the combination of black and white. Also, your polka dots, big bows, raffles, and sequines in style are still “in” for this season.
