Winter Fashion Tricks

As winter approaches, it’s out with the shorts and mini dresses and in with the Ugg boots, woolly hats and scarves. Or is it? The cold weather isn’t an excuse to wear a lifeless, baggy jumper and hide behind hundreds of layers. Instead, embrace the winter season with colorful hats and gloves, with cosy, yet stylish fashion trends.

You may find it hard to believe, but with the right accessories, you can still wear some of your summer outfits. So if you are shopping on internet stores such as ASOS and Very, while you dip in and out of fun games of Cheeky Bingo, why not dig out those flowery summer dresses and skirts, and simply read this blog post to discover how you can incorporate summer trends into your winter wardrobe.

Dresses – Jumper dresses are fashionable, casual and cosy; perfect for those cold winter days. Some dresses of this style can be baggy and limp, so why not add a feminine touch by wearing a tight waist belt? This will emphasise your curves and give the loose dress definition and shape. In addition, add some chunky long necklaces and bangles, to add a sparkle against the plain wool.

Summer Dresses – Believe it or not, it isn’t time to put away those summer dresses. If you have a summery mini dress, why not try wearing it with a pair of thick, flower patterned tights with knee-high boots? In addition, instead of covering your pretty dress with a big jumper, wear a tight long sleeved top underneath your dress, which will keep you warm without covering your outfit.

Skirts – Denim mini skirts can be worn all year round, providing you accessorize well. Many girls wear their denim skirts with colorful sun-tops, flip flops and shades during the summer. However, when it begins to get cooler, why not try wearing your skirt with leggins, Ugg boots and a fitted jumper?

Bags get bigger with cooler weather because you have more to carry (umbrellas, wraps, hats).
The leather bag doesn't have to be boring -- there are logoed styles, patent, exotic skins, quilting, bold hardware, bright colors and much more -- but the most classic looks have a ladylike feel to them and understated luxury.
Unlike an in-today/out-tomorrow "It" bag, the large leather bag will be your faithful friend for years. This is one splurge where you'll get lots of mileage on your investment.

This Fall, old-fashioned color schemes and stripes are definitely “in”. This season, you may want to add a few pieces of what the fashion experts are calling the Mosaic of Color and Style to your personal collection. These are fabulous patterns in darker colors such as deep purple, winter blue and pale green. Another major color trend presented at the New York Fashion Week this Fall was gleaming metallics, soft classic camel and icy blue. The predominant trend setter color for the season might be the scarlet red coats and accessories displayed by various collections for this season. Investing on reds is a not a bad idea, since it can easily be saved for the next season.

Purse party Smarts

The purse party is a type of party plan marketing scheme wherein a party is held in a hostess' home for the purpose of buying and selling handbags. It is modeled after similar functions where such products as Tupperware, Pampered Chef, and PartyLite candles are sold. Indeed, it is not unusual for combination parties to be held, where a wide variety of such merchandise is made available. 

Several years ago, a survey was conducted among the buying habits of 31-yeard old woman. The study revealed that these women own an average of 21 handbags and they buy a new one once every three months. With the findings of this study, it is safe to assume that purse party is a good way of not only enjoying a good time with your friends but also a very good investment.

Purse party is a business that has been going around for several years now. If you have heard about Tupperware parties or any other kinds of home party business, the principle behind purse parties follow the traditional home party business. Home purse parties allow women to have a relaxing time shopping in a home party atmosphere.

When hosting a purse party, the hostess will invite her family members, friends, officemates and other people she knew in her home. Then, a purse party consultant will present the merchandise which is normally consists of purses, wallets, and other fashion accessories for women. Guests of the party can browse the merchandise and are allowed to purchase the merchandise they want.
