Some looks of past seasons were still present on catewalks, including layering or pairing a dressier top with a pair of comfortable, faded jeans. Knits are making a comeback, and there’s no better compliment to a sweater than a sleek pair of jeans. The bad boy look is also a continuing favorite, so compliment any pair of denims with a leather coat and you’re good to go.

Men's fashion trend in jens
Some looks of past seasons were still present on catewalks, including layering or pairing a dressier top with a pair of comfortable, faded jeans. Knits are making a comeback, and there’s no better compliment to a sweater than a sleek pair of jeans. The bad boy look is also a continuing favorite, so compliment any pair of denims with a leather coat and you’re good to go.
Are These Walking Shoes Legit?
That’s the tagline for these MBT Lami Shoes ($150 at Zappos.com). Aesthetics aside, the footwear promises a positive effect—it supposedly stimulates your muscles and strengthens your body with its Mesai Sensor technology. You can even walk with these glorified mary janes on the beach, they say. Just one question: If they’re the anti-shoe, what are they then?
Dr. Hillary Brenner, a podiatric surgeon practicing in New York City, can say good things and bad things about these shoes. “I like these shoes because they allow for good shock absorpotion, improves gait (walking), helps people with mild foot deformities, relieves back problems and joint pain,” she points out.
As for what Dr. Brenner doesn’t like about these shoes: “These shoes are not good for people with underlying orthopedic conditions and geriatric patients,” she says. “Before buying these shoes, I recommend a visit to your podiatrist.”

Men's Fashion in hair cuts
Long Hairstyles for Men - Men With Long Hair. Longer hair for men has become a mainstay in men's style. It is old world meets modern man. It is classy and distinguished as seen here.
Some of the best men's hairstyles are worn by Hollywood's up and coming stars. You really get a sense of what is fashionable and current, and why wouldn't you? These young celebs have access to all kinds of stylists when it comes to fashion and hair. So I did quite a bit of research to find ten of the most popular young male stars amongst the high school and college set. So now you know who to use for men's hairstyle inspiration.
2010 gold Fashion Jewelry Trends
Budgets are tight these days, but that does not mean that you need to stop being fashion conscious. Jewelry is one of the best ways that you can stay current with today's trends without having to spend all of the money that you have in your savings account. To really get the most bang for your buck it is important that you know what the top trends and styles are going to be so that you can choose quality pieces that will update your style.
Speaking of earrings, chandelier earrings are back in the spotlight this year. They bring with them an instantly feminine and glamorous look to any outfit that you add them to. Typically, chandelier earrings have some sort of sparkle to them, and this makes them the perfect addition to any going out look. However, do not think that you can only wear chandelier earrings in the evening. They are actually really beautiful when paired with simple jeans, heels, and a T-shirt. They will give you a bit of glamour to add into your everyday life.
Colors are really important this year. The fashion focus with this year's colors are actually warm and rich shades. Jewel tones are very popular as long as they are rich and lush. Additionally, warm tones are very in style this year. That means that yellows, oranges, and reds are very popular. Additionally, yellow gold is also making a comeback. It did fall out of fashion a while ago, but now yellow gold is emerging as a new favorite this year. It looks especially great when paired with rich chocolate browns and denim.
Don't forget to incorporate the colors into your choice of sparkle as well. You can choose to incorporate gemstones into you collection that are very rich in hue. These do not need to be the most expensive stones either. You can choose amethysts or citrines to give your accessories that glitz and glam that you are looking for. Additionally, you might want to explore pieces that have multiple stones in multiple hues to add to your collection.
Bridal Fashion Trends
June is usually wedding month and fast approaching. Fall brings autumn colors. December is another very popular month to have a wedding with colors that are elegant.
These steps will help you choose the color that is best for you with considerations to what you will need to consider.

Whatever color you choose, make sure you pick a style flattering to you. Do not forget to line up an alterations seamstress, the photographer if you are using to accompany during dress try on's and a bridal dress preservationist.

Fashion world is not only restricted to men's dresses and women wardrobes, but it has great influence on boys dresses. Now lots of fashion designers are giving great heed in designing dresses or suits for boys. Though, there is difference between boys dresses and men's dresses in many respect like pattern, style, color and design. But one thing is sure, fashion industries are very much involved in offering new style boys formal dress, boys suits and other formal wear for children and teenagers.
In the market, everyday new style in boys suits, boys formal dress, boys tuxedos comes. And there are endless choices available. But when shopping for dress one of the first things you need to consider is for what occasion you are buying. For instance, whether your child is going to participate in wedding ceremony, birthday party or other formal party plus, keep in mind the color and style of your boy's dress.
It is also important to consider the time and season of the occasion or event. For example, choose formal wear with shorts for children for an afternoon outdoor reception in the heat of July and perhaps a heavier wool fabric for a Valentine's Day event in the winter weather of February. By considering the type of event and when it takes place, you will choose the best style of formal wear for your child.
Furthermore, when it comes to selecting dress quality is just as important as price. Only buy boys dress from top rated brands. There are various brands available that offer new style boys formal dress in an array of style, color and fabric. The kind of fabric you choose should not irritate your little superhero. As you know boys are active and love to play around wherever they are thus by choosing suits or other formal dress for children designed with quality fabrics and construction, you can ensure you won't see torn pants or unraveling seams during your important occasion. Other important thing is that, before shopping for your boy dress, check the fitting and comfort level of the dress properly.
New trends in Shoe Boots, Shboots, Ankle Boots
High shoes give extra room for stud decoration. These women's shoe boots, near right, are high, but not as high as some, and the sturdier heel means women will be able to wear them more easily than shoes with finer needle slim stilettos.
Gladiator style shoe variations, and criss-cross or cage strappy effects remain fashionable. Laser cutting offers continued innovation for novel shoes design enabling many more micro shoe trends to emerge.
Ankle boot shoes are ideal for wear with trousers and coloured or patterned tights are very welcome. As heels have become higher, so extra support has been added in the form of additional high ankle straps, which almost turn the shoe into a supportive boot form. This extra support, and lack of possible open gaping areas at the front sides of a court shoe, shores up the shoe, helping it to stay on the foot. Ankle boots, shoe boots, Shboots, booties, call them what you will are a hit with women everywhere this autumn 2009.
New styles in Patiala Salwar Kameez
Patiala salwar kameez are taking the fashion world by storm nowadays. Their stunning silhouette has swept away hearts of many women. Loose fitting, comfortable yet fashionable is their eye catching part. Their one fleeting look is sufficient to imprison your attention.
Basically it is a dress from Punjab but its enticing appeal gradually has made an impact in other parts of India as well. Many women have adopted this self-effacing outfit as it is just the right mix of traditional as well as stylish look.
Patiala Salwar Kameez or Patiala Suit has a special historical background. There is a legend behind the name. Patiala is a place in Punjab in North India. In olden times, the Maharajas (King) of Patiala were very famous. Their dress was a pleated and baggy type salwar with long loose kameez in full sleeves. The dress emanated ethnicity, culture as well as royal comfort. In the new modern era, women copied this dress and named it Patiala Salwar kurta or Patiala Suit.
Patiala salwar kameez has pleats on the salwar in a falling manner. This draping effect imparts an attractive look and the drape falls like a fluid. It is worn with a short and tight kameez for balancing the ratio. Just like other salwars, patiala salwar also has drawstring waist. Falling pleats of salwar provides ease on wearing it.
Patiala salwar kameez actually look like this. It has printed salwar as it is the main pattern of the dress. The dupatta has phulkari work in satin or silk threads while kameez is basic, uncomplicated, fitted and is high above knees. Go for cotton fabric to look stylish in this fabulous outfit. There are specific figures of women on which this fashion looks remarkable. For pear shape figures, it does wonders by camouflaging their bottom weighty part with the drape and pleats. It is very fine wear for the summer season to remain cool due to its comfy and slack fit.

How to Find the Best Deal on Kids Clothes
- Shop for quality at the best price. A piece of quality used clothing is a better deal than a piece of cheap new clothing. Shop in thrift stores, consignment shops, Ebay, Freecycle (a yahoo group where people give away what they no longer need). Accept hand-me-downs from friends. You can pass on the stuff you can't use or don't want. Take it to the thrift store to donate the next time you shop there.
- Buy off-season at the sales. This is better if your kids are bigger and not likely to grow two sizes before the next season, but you can anticipate. Buy large. Quite often the end of season sales are still in the middle of the season you want anyway.
- Never pay full price. Look for coupons online and in the paper. Ask the store clerk when the item will go on sale next. Look for online deals - clearance sales, coupon codes.
- If your kids outgrow some nice pieces that are still in perfect condition, consider opening an ebay account and reselling them. This is a great way to cut down on the bottom line. If you have a good kids consignment shop nearby, take the things there to sell. It's easier than ebaying and you can pick up some good deals while you are there.

A Feathered Hair Tribute
She starred in "Charlie's Angels" for only one season, which could have made Farrah Fawcett just another television footnote. But beyond her Chiclet smile and her sexy-yet-wholesome jiggle, there was The Hair - a perfect storm of long, blond, feathered and feminine, with floppy bangs and bouncy sides, setting her apart from co-stars Jacqueline Smith and Kate Jackson . The look, created by Santa Monica snipper Allen Edwards, catapulted her to pop-cult stardom and hair history
Hottest Fall Hair Trends
How can we be talking about hair trends for fall already? Wasn’t it just a minute ago we were all psyched up about highlighting for summer and getting those summer up-do’s, tips and tricks down for another hot & humid season?? Here we come, ready or not. Fall is right around the corner and I guess it’s that time again to change things up. It’s time to get the bleached out blondes toned down and the burnt out brunettes and redheads ripened up a bit.
Recently famed celebrity hairstylist, Anthony Barrow, answered my questions regarding hair trends for fall. Anthony is a regular at New York Fashion Week and the London ready-to-wear shoes. He is a five-time British Hairdresser Awards finalist, famed Avon Fashion Week hairstylist and was recently featured on Bravo’s new hit series, Make Me a Super Model.

2008-2009 winter hottest fashion trends
Think bold when choosing clothing for winter 2008-2009, especially if you're looking for a coat. The shape of clothing should make a statement. Fashion designers offer pyramid shaped coats, emphasized hour-glass shaped coats and dresses, clothing with emphasized shoulders line, tulip shaped skirts and carrot top pants. Shapes like those are very expressive, so the garments are mono-colored or indistinctly ornamented and contain as less decorative details as possible. If trendy shapes are too daring for you, go for compromise: variations of large collars. Knitted or furry, modern or vintage style - collar must be big and make a contrast to either texture or fabric or color of the clothing. Collars are not for coats only; they adorn jackets, vests and cardigans tooThis winter is the right time to become romantic biker. Glossy leather clothing, biker jacket and shiny zippers are the must-haves. But this image is neither heavy nor aggressive; leather clothing is combined with fur, knitwear, see-through fabrics and puffy playful skirts.
Grey used to be the new black on the last winter. This color is very gratifying as it goes well with all the other tones and makes a nice background for bright colors. However, the shades of dark slate grey said good bye a year ago and softer silverfish tones appear to accompany large variety of rose quartz, pale taupe, lavender, lemon chiffon and other beiges. The creamy tones work well all together, but they also compliment rich colors that are trendy 2008-2009 winter.

What to Wear Now,Oversized Sweater Cardigans
Push that wimpy little lightweight sweater to the back of the closet this season. The newest sweater silhouette is an oversized sweater cardigan. Hitting anywhere from below the hip to knee-length, the chunky oversized sweater is the perfect cozy option for milder days; it is also perfect for indoor offices that are too chilly to go sweaterless.
Wear your oversized cardigan sweater with slimmer bottoms: skinny jeans or leggings tucked into tall boots are ideal. Because it's such a bold shape, you can easily carry off stronger pieces of jewelry with it like statement necklaces, layers of necklaces and big cuff bracelets. One way to look taller and slimmer is to wear a top (layering tee, long-sleeve tee or other top) in a matching color as the oversized cardigan.

Hot Trends in Womens Shirts
Your wardrobe is supposed to reflect who you are, right? And, with styles changing so quickly, it can be hard to find a trend that truly tickles your fancy. Not to worry--we've gathered a range of the hottest (and latest) trends in women's shirts, so you can nab the style that matches your personality and nail the look. We all know that a new, perfectly fitted women's shirt can take any morning from drab to fab. And, we're here to help you do it in only the hottest styles. Don't think that plaid was just for your grandfather, silk is only for dressy occasions, or over sized draping is done. These styles are hot and back on top, and we're here to help you take on the town in the one that suits your style!
Let's kick off our trends hunt with one that's been rocking the fashion world all season: plaid. This unexpected trend has been totally taking over--whether it's Lauren Conrad or your next-door neighbor, it seems this fashion movement is taking the world by storm. One of our favorite options for this cool look comes from Gap. Affordable and super flattering, their 'Paid Ombre Shirt' takes this trend and does it right. Its shrunken fit, blurred plaid pattern, and front chest pocket take a traditional button up shape, and mold it for a female. Plus, we love that it's made of 99% cotton with just a 1% touch of spandex, for a truly comfortable feel. Its long sleeves can be rolled up (complete with button cuffs), or let down for cooler days.
Affordable, cute, and well fitted, this fun take on one of this season's hottest styles offers a great option for those of you who want to hop onto the plaid train in a new, cool way. Pair this great top with boot cut denim jeans and cowboy boots, or take those cowboy boots and couple tuck this top into your favorite high-waisted pencil skirt for a fresh aesthetic.
Moving away from the patterns, and over to a trend that gets tweaked seasonally, we're checking out one of the best new basics around. Ella Moss' 'Tallah Bead Top' takes a muted color, three-quarter-sleeve shirt, and makes it fabulous. Graceful and pretty as always, Ms. Moss always seems to have her fabric and draping down to a T, and she definitely does here.
This high scoop neck top boasts a 100% micro modal make-up, which is seriously soft and feels fabulous; couple that with the lightly beaded ribbon that ties at the nape of the neck, and you have a sexy, unexpected feel done in serious style. We love the gathering along the neck and bust line, and simply cannot get enough of this basic done a little differently. Couple this flirty feminine top with your favorite skinny jeans and yellow flats for fun (or, go with silver flats for a slightly dressier look!) You really cannot go wrong with this beautifully draped basic top.
Now, we would be remiss to not include a flow-y silk top: this season's must-have, and perfect partner to skinny jeans, we love that silk has entered everyday fashion. For a truly pretty take for just about any shape, look to 7 For All Mankind's 'Crinkle Silk Chiffon Petal Top.' This beautifully done silk tank boasts a double-layer crinkle silk chiffon material that gives off a lightweight, soft feel with a cool matte finish. The pretty black and grey petals that line the front scoop neckline add a unique, feminine touch, while we love the sassy, unexpected keyhole back. Pair this effortlessly pretty top with dark wash denim and your favorite pair of black point heels, and you'll be ready for an evening out.

Top Boutiques To Visit in London 2009
Black Truffle in Broadway Market, Hackney and its sister outlet in Warren Street, Fitzrovia make the grade as the top boutiques to visit in London.
Passionate about fashion and shoes in particular Melissa Needham and David Capon (the people behind these innovative shops) are true experts when it comes to finding the ideal, sought-after, unique shoes and accessories as their numerous customers can attest. They equally made a strong impression in the fashion industry by receiving the illustrious 2009 Drapers Footwear Awards for best shop and being voted Time Out Best Shoe Store in London in 2007.
First established in January 2003 as an independent shoe store in Broadway Market, Hackney, London, Black Truffle was an instant success which lead to the opening of a second shop in the heart of Fitzrovia, London in 2006. The company’s success is equally due to its outstanding customers service and its strong ethos, offering a range of women’s shoes and accessories that are not widely available elsewhere (in fact many of the brands sold such as Jeff, Vialis, Blancs Manteaux, Just In Case – Antwerp check info – Alberto Fermani, T & F Slack are unique to Black Truffle in the UK ). Most importantly Black Truffle manages to effortlessly strike the perfect balance between original styling, practical wearability, quality of materials and value for money.
In addition the Warren Street branch also houses the Prescott & Mackay School of Fashion and Accessory Design which was established in 1997 by Melissa Needham and offers short courses in shoemaking and accessory design, attended by students from around the world.
In 2007 Black Truffle launched a transactional website offering its exquisite range of shoes, women’s wear, small leather goods, accessories, jewellery, gifts and homeware to customers for purchase on-line.
In these rather economically challenging times, Black Truffle has enjoyed a consistent growth in trading which lead to the relocation of the Broadway Market branch to a much more spacious premises over 3 floors at 4 Broadway Market, London E8 in January this year.
Look out for promotional late nights leading to Christmas. More info coming soon!

Chie Mihara, Melissa, Velvet Bee, T & F Slack ( from the designers of Audley) , Alberto Fermani, Vialis, Roby & Pier, Verdon, Timeless, Sax, Salt & Pepper, Zaha Hadid, Kisiera, Just in Case, Jeff, Blanc Manteaux, Spoom, Abro, Skive & Toole, Iittala

Pakistani Eid needs trendy shawl wraps
Pakistani Eid is a grand festive occasion every year. It is a traditional and religious excuse to dress trendy. Pakistani Eid focuses on food in a big way, but in an equally big way it focuses on being trendy. Dress trendy for your Pakistani Eid and take this social opportunity that Pakistani Eid gives us to amaze everyone with just how trendy you can dress.
Clothes and accessories no doubt are your highway to make sure you dress trendy on this Pakistani Eid. However since it is a cold Pakistani Eid your most important accessory would be your sweater or your shawl. To dress trendy make sure you omit the sweater this Pakistani Eid. Instead of wearing a sweater this Pakistani Eid opt to dress trendy with a shawl. By shawl we don’t mean a dreary brown white black pashmina. That is definitely not a choice this Pakistani Eid. They look boring and definitely don’t help dress trendy. Avoid those and instead choose the many different color and shape wraps that are available with embroidery, block print, fabric painting etc. These wraps don’t make you look like a dull bag. They look very trendy draped around shoulders, they don’t hide your clothes or anything either.
