Having just been shopping for clothes for the first time in a couple of years I was struck by the amount of throwaway fashion on the shelves. There are many high street shops around which can easily be found on UK Net Guide which sell high fashion at very cheap prices for all ages.

I could have bought a whole new wardrobe for a couple of hundred pounds and yet this wealth of cheap clothes was rather off-putting in many respects.

Firstly you do not know the origin of the clothes and while I am sure that all the high street fashion stores are scrupulous in sourcing their clothes from factories that do not use cheap labour you have to wonder how they can sell so cheaply. (more...)

When Chanel launched their iconic perfume No. 5 in the 1920s the stage was set for the world of fashion to meet the world of fragrance. Since Chanel, fashion houses have been known for their fragrances as much as for their designs.

Chanel, Versace and Gucci are only a few examples of top designers who release perfumes almost as frequently as new collections. The fashion/ perfume connection is not restricted to top designer houses. Many high-street clothing stores also release perfume ranges, for example, French Connection. Even top fashion models such as Kate Moss have their own signature perfume.

The fact is perfume is an integral part of fashion. It is not just what clothes you wear but also what fragrance you wear that denotes your style. Perfume is every bit as much of a fashion statement as wearing a hat or a style of jacket. After Kate Middleton married Prince William, not only did fashion critics analyse the dress they also spoke about the fragrance she selected to wear on the day. (more...)

Fashion has continued to change and grow throughout the years. There are so many styles available now and ways to incorporate many different pieces into one look or outfit. Fashion is no longer something that only women do either, men and children have just as many choices available to them.

Part of fashion has become the accessories that we all use. Accessories before were just that, just an accessory and a functional item that may be a necessity to take along. However, over time, accessories have become an integral part of the fashion industry.

Leather goods, such as leather wallets or purses, belts, jewellery and more have made their way into the fashion world too. These are very high quality and durable, making them the perfect item to use since they will last a long time and they can be used for years to come. (more...)

Fashion is not just about the clothes you wear, it is also about the hair, the shoes and the make-up that goes with an outfit. For jaw-dropping make-up permanent eyelash extensions are a must.

The latest technology means eyelash extensions are no longer detectable as being artificial. They give a lovely natural finish making your own eyelashes appear thicker and longer. This essentially opens up your entire eye area making your eyes appear much larger. Do not be surprised if no-one even looks at what you are wearing they will be so busy staring at your eyes.

A health advantage of using permanent eyelash extensions is that they can remove the need for wearing mascara which is one of the main reasons for eye infections and irritation. Often mascaras are used well beyond the recommended three months and therefore they develop bacteria within them. This can mean that eyelash brushes transfer the bacteria into the delicate eye area. Permanent lash extensions are applied with high-quality glue and grow out with the natural eyelash. Therefore they do not feel as if they are attached and cause the wearer to constantly touch the eye. (more...)

We often don't think about the history of the clothes we wear. For example, all the shoes we put on our feet today are because of the leather sandals that were worn thousands of years ago. Also, buttons didn't just appear out of thin air, they were invented to replace ribbon ties and cuff links. They were an invention of convenience and now we barely notice them.

Fashion is playing an increasingly important role in our society. It has become a huge economic enterprise. People spend large amounts of money on their clothing each year, and generally these clothes are replaced on a regular basis.

For some people clothes are just pieces of fabric that we use to cover our bodies. But really you don't need laser eye surgery to see that clothing is more than that. (more...)

There was a time when fashion was something that belonged only on the runways in Paris and Milan. Just like art, fashion has been reclaimed by people as something that belongs to them and not just a few elite!

Fashion is not just about pieces of clothing that cost as much as a house. Fashion is about expressing your individuality through the way you carry yourself. It is easy to create ensembles that work fabulously, using carefully selected pieces, sourced from a variety of places!

You can find beautiful pieces of clothing and accessories from charity shops, and high street shops. Popular high street stores like Republic and top shop are popular for a reason. It is because you can find really great clothes at affordable prices. (more...)

A sari, or saree, is a piece of clothing that is worn by women in a variety of cultures. This clothing is most popular in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Burma, Bhutan, and Malaysia. This piece of cloth, which is left unstitched, typically ranges in size from four to nine yards in length and can be worn over the body in a variety of different variations. There are several different styles of draping, making the saree a statement of fashion for these cultures.

While several cultures wear the saree, the most well known and recognizable of these are those that come from the Indian culture. The Indian saree dates back well over 5000 years ago. While the styles and designs of the saree have changed over time, it is still used just as prevalently and is manufactured to be one of the most elegant pieces of clothing available to women in the Indian culture. This article of clothing is worn to almost every formal or religious occasion.

There are sarees that are indicative of each part of the India, including West india, North India, South India, and East India. (more...)

Every girl wants to be beautiful at her prom. Most of the very young ladies getting prepared for the event plan their dress and their make-up many months beforehand. A prom dress Lincolnshire shop can supply you with the numerous choices but the one that will become the best choice for the evening will determine on the criteria that you followed when picking your prom dress.

The dress should be flattering. It must be not the one you want, but the one you look good in. There is no use going for a fancy tight-fitting wrap-around if you are shy of your form and a dress that is too loose will look pitiful on a tall athletic girl. So trust the mirror and not your dream image of yourself.

Pay attention to the weather. Don't dress too lightly if you know that there is going to be a cold night unless you intentionally want to hide the beautiful dress under someone's fluffy sweater borrowed on the run out of necessity. Similar principles apply for too warm dresses in the heat – you'll spend the evening thinking about finally peeling the stuffy formal dress off your body instead of enjoying yourself. (more...)

Fashion industry has always been on the top. From big money to great reputation, this industry has it all. While the fashion models walk the ramp in their beautiful attires and postures, there are several other people involved in making any fashion show a hit. One such key person is a fashion photographer. In most cases, a fashion model is usually a girl or boy next door. What turns them into a model is their photo shoots. Fashion photography is a tough job. It actually transforms the simple looks of a person and makes him or her look extremely astonishing.

Unlike regular photography, fashion photography involves a very high level of skill. If you want to become a Fashion Photographer you must be prepared to work very hard and face extremely difficult challenges. As easy as it may seem like, fashion photography involves hiding the flaws of a person to a certain extent. Now, this is quite a task.

To become a fashion photographer you must be absolutely perfect at two photography disciplines. One, you should be great at taking portrait pictures and secondly, you should be able create portraits that are great at advertisements. This means you should be able to highlight the positives and hide the negatives. A combination of both these skills is required to become a competent fashion photographer. It is also important that you stay up to date with the latest in fashion. (more...)

There is a famous fashion-related statement given by the great Coco Chanel - “people who got style wear costume jewelry – the rest is stuck with gold”. On a broader scale, this means that sometimes the imitation jewelry you are choosing to complement your outfit is no less or even more important than the clothes you chose.

There is a wide choice of accessories you can choose from. The most common types include chains, charms, gemstone pendants , rings, bracelets, studs and earrings. Another side of the accessory spectra is represented by hats, scarves, gloves and belts. This leaves you with plenty of space for the imagination at work.

Your choice of accessories should depend on the occasion, the weather, the formality level (and a dress-code if there is any) and the impression you want to make. You can take a simple attire consisting of a white blouse and black skirt and turn it into a series of different fashion images with the help of the things you add. Remember that gold goes well nearly with anything, silver is considered to be a more youth-oriented metal when it comes to accessories and that it doesn't matter how much a given accessory piece is forth (or where you found it) if it looks good and makes you feel more confident.
