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...)

Prada is one of the most iconic fashion brands in the world, founded by Mario Prada in 1913. It has been turned around from being a tailor outfit in the early 1920s to being a massive iconic fashion house as of today. Miuccia Prada is the designer behind this successful label which is known for its attention to detail especially when it comes to shoes.

Prada schoenen is Dutch for Prada shoes, and the Netherlands is one of the biggest markets for Prada shoes whether they are flats, heels or platforms. Take a look at some of the types of Prada shoes that range from platforms to ballerinas that the company makes and decide which ones are for you:

Heels: These shoes from Prada are definitely some of the most popular with fashionistas from across Europe whether it is Holland or Harrow. The secret of success of Prada heels is that they are extremely comfortable and they come with plenty of platform support for the balls of your feet. This makes them perfect as shoes to wear to work. The heel height of Prada heels can vary depending on what type of platform but if you are someone who likes skyscraper high heels, Prada heels are the way to go. (more...)
