A lot of people cannot understand how you can decide a garment would look good on you without trying it on first, which is understandable. But there are many benefits to shopping online for clothes, including massive deals, which should tempt anyone to try clothes shopping online.<br />
<br />
In this article I would like to share my 5 tricks to help you shop online for clothes, so that you are satisfied with your experience, whether you choose to keep the items you buy or not!</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
1. Read The Product Description Carefully<br />
At first this might sound pretty obvious, but I myself am very much guilty of 'quick glance shopping syndrome'. When shopping online you browse around the websites looking at pictures of products, and once you see a picture of something you like, you might not read the entire product description in detail. You might simply read the item summary, without going into the nitty gritty detail of the product. This is a big mistake, as the description might contain information about the product which might not appeal to you, and which would influence your purchasing decision. It might also give some clues about the sizing and fit of that particular garment.<br />
<br />
Once in fact, I bought a dress from an online store I had shopped from multiple times before. I ordered my usual size without reading the entire product description and sure enough when the dress arrived it was pretty tight at the shoulders and I had to get it fixed. I was rather surprised (and upset), but when I checked back on the website there it was on the product description... It said that this dress runs small so they suggested ordering a size up! Now had I read through the entire product description in the first place! So make sure you read the entire product description before you even add an item to your cart, let alone check out.<br />
<br />
2. Measure Up (And Check That Size Chart!)<br />
When shopping for clothes online it is important that you consult with the store's size chart to ensure you are ordering the correct size for your figure. Do not order the size you 'usually' buy because different designers and different stores sometimes have their own unique size charts, which vary. Therefore measure yourself first; usually having your bust, waist and hip measurements should suffice for you to determine where in the store's size chart you fit. This will help you select the correct size every time.<br />
<br />
3. Use Store Shopping Tools<br />
Many online clothes stores these days provide unique tools to help their shoppers identify those items which would suit their body best. Check the online store you're shopping on to see whether they provide such tools to help you select your ideal items; many women's clothes stores provide this feature, which you might find listed under 'Shop by Body Shape' or 'Shop by Body Type'.<br />
<br />
4. Check Return Policy (in Detail!)<br />
No matter how hard you try to select the right items in the right size, having to return something once in a blue moon is inevitable. For this reason, it is very important to know before you actually buy from an online store, what their return policy is. Check whether they give refunds, whether they give store credit, whether you can return sale items, etc. Different stores have very different return policies, so do not just assume you can return an item. Check these fine details out before you actually make your purchase, to make sure you are covered in case you need to return an item,<br />
<br />
5. Check Return Shipping Policy<br />
Some online stores these days offer free return shipping. What this means is that if you decide to return an item, the store will cover your costs for shipping that item back to them. Stores that have such a policy are usually the ones who take customer service very seriously, and are ones who are determined to make their customers' shopping experience a pleasant one, so you should feel safe doing business with them. Look out for such a policy before ordering, as knowing that any return shipping is covered will make your online shopping experience worry free.<br />
<br />
There you have five tips to help you make better choices when shopping for clothes online. Remember that you can get extra special deals online, so I encourage you to give online apparel shopping a go in the very near future.vaizalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03247290606649269323noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451978965495332771.post-5727614067507850792011-12-19T23:47:00.000-08:002012-03-14T23:47:38.778-07:00Wearing Our Hearts On Our Sleeves<div style="text-align: justify;">For many, fashion is a form of expression and a chance to display your personality. Sometimes this can be restricted, either from having to wear uniform or following dress codes. However, how you dress outside these situations is always a great opportunity for you to express who you really are.<br />
<br />
Throughout the years there have been several social movements that have all affected the way people dress. Peoples' fashion can help form an identity and show what your beliefs are, this is still being used today in a variety of ways.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
One of the most memorable movements was the punk rock era, which saw a huge number of individuals taking to wearing leather, tartan and accessorising everything with studs. This helped to represent what they believed in and is a trend that is still apparent today. Teddy boys was another terminology used where by you could instantly identify someone by due to what they were wearing; turned up jeans with leather boots.<br />
<br />
Whether it is dressing to represent your beliefs or because you want to be part of something, fashion has always been used to help individuals identify with themselves as well as others. It is about feeling a part of something and for many, feeling accepted. Whether you cover up and dress modestly, to wearing bright coloured outfits so you stand out from the crowd, the way you dress is important. People can read a bit about the type of person you are just by looking at the way you dress. Many people have this in mind before choosing what they wear.<br />
<br />
Slogan t-shirts have become increasingly popular of late to help portray messages to others, some have political connotations, and others are simply humorous. Either way, all have been used to express and illustrate what we believe in. You do not even have to wear anything that has slogans written on to be saying something about who you are and what you are interested in. Just by wearing products referred to as 'on trend' helps identify you, highlighting your interests in fashion and that you make a conscious effort about your appearance.<br />
<br />
Whichever way you look at it, fashion has always been a way for us to portray who we are and what we believe in. Fashion is likely to continue in this way, and will be used for people to express themselves for years to come in the future.vaizalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03247290606649269323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451978965495332771.post-63228301239034655412011-12-02T23:46:00.000-08:002012-03-14T23:46:53.188-07:00Silk Knot Cufflinks - A History of Style<div style="text-align: justify;">The Silk Knot Cufflink, also known as Turk's Head cufflinks have been around since the early years of the 20th century and their invention is credited to the Paris shirt maker Charvet, of whom more later.<br />
<br />
The Silk Knot Cufflink is based on the Turk's head knot, a decorative knot that would have been familiar with sailors in the days of sailing ships. Boy Scout Leaders ancient and modern will also be familiar with the knot as on completion of their training course they are awarded the Wood Badge and allowed to use a woggle made using the Turk's head knot. The woggle, also known as the Gilwell woggle is not worn by other scouts.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The name Turk's head comes from the knots rough resemblance to a Middle Eastern turban. It is also known as a monkey's fist, so sometimes the cufflinks are called monkey's fist cufflinks. In the USA Silk Knot Cufflinks are occasionally known as bachelor cufflinks. This is because their elasticated construction allows the wearer to put on a shirt where the cufflink has been threaded through the cuff in advance, thus avoiding the fiddly business of trying to thread a cufflink single handedly through the buttonholes of the cuff when it is already worn.<br />
<br />
Sailors used the Turk's head knot for practical purpose such as marking the "king spoke" of a ship's wheel, giving instant identification that when vertical the rudder would be in a central position. It was also used as a weight on the end of a rope, making it easier to throw, for example on to the quayside when docking a ship. Made from heavy rope, the Turk's head knot also made an effective weapon when skirmishing at close quarters as it could be swung very effectively and knock people out or over.<br />
<br />
Back to Charvet the shirt makers; they have had a shop in the Place Vendame in Paris since 1877 and are famous for supplying shirts to royalty and heads of state. They are also credited with the introduction of the Silk Knot Cufflink in 1904. These were originally made in silk of a single colour and rapidly became a popular gentleman's fashion accessory.<br />
<br />
Today, Silk Knot Cufflinks are usually made from braided elastic rather than silk and the cufflinks are made not just in single colours, but in two or three different colours as well. This enables them to be made to match the colours of a sports club, institution or even a national flag, allowing the wearer to display their association discreetly on their sleeve.<br />
<br />
The popularity of the Silk Knot Cufflink eventually led to them being copied in precious metals such as silver, letting wearers addicted to the silk or elasticated version to have a similar cufflink to wear on more formal occasions. What's more, while these precious metal Silk Knot Cufflinks don't have the bachelor appeal of the elasticated Silk Knot Cufflinks, they do look very smart.vaizalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03247290606649269323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451978965495332771.post-60615930947375708012011-11-14T23:45:00.000-08:002012-03-14T23:46:06.099-07:00Fashion Accessories: The Power of Accessorizing<div style="text-align: justify;">In the fashion world clothes are not enough to make up an entire outfit. With the fashion forward game of most fashion fanatics nowadays, fashion accessories play a huge part in creating a unique fashion identity and to set you apart from the crowd. What was previously underestimated is now slowly climbing its way making the world know of its power.<br />
<br />
Little do most people know about the power that fashion accessories have in making your outfit more interesting. Just by adding a few pieces of jewelry, changing up your shoes, and donning a statement bag you'll look like you have an entire new wardrobe. Some people think that they need new clothes all the time because all of the clothes they have already worn and cannot wear them again. But actually, all you need are a few fashion accessories that you can mix and match to create a new vibe and style for your clothes. By changing up your shoes from flats to heels, or from pumps to boots, you can glamorize or casualize any clothes that you have, creating an entire new look. Also, with the continued rise of vintage clothing items on most parts of the world, you certainly don't want to look outdated wearing your most prized vintage item, right? Fashion accessories can instantly update and modernize your look by pairing your vintage piece with an exquisite and avant-garde jewelry or shoes perhaps. The power to make your outfit more modern, updated and fashion-forward is in the hands of your accessories and how you style them together.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Shoes and bags are probably the most powerful part of your outfit which can make or break your outfit. Just by changing the color and styles of your bags and shoes, you can create a variety of different looks already. Stilettos are one of the most famous types of heels a woman owns. Wearing one creates a one-of-a-kind elegance and sophistication to your outfit. Partnered with a clutch bag you can take your simple dress up a notch and exude a sense of glamour and sophistication. Or if you want to present a girly, sweet and innocent vibe, pair your dress with some cute ballerina flats and a handbag. By mixing and matching different styles of shoes and bags you can create a handful of different looks even just by wearing one simple dress.<br />
<br />
Jewelry is also among the fashion accessories that women can never have too many of. Some people prefer fine jewelry encrusted with precious stones such as diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. While others prefer costume jewelry that make a statement on its own. Fine jewelry is often associated with being elegant, sweet, and glamorous. Costume jewelry on the other hand speaks of edge and being fashion forward. No matter what jewelry you choose to wear, it can always create a whole new vibe to your outfit.<br />
<br />
See you never really have to own loads of clothes just to be fashionable. Even with just a humble selection of clothes you can already create a variety of different looks with the help of fashion accessories. Invest more on accessories as they also hardly ever go out of style compared with clothes.vaizalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03247290606649269323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451978965495332771.post-28084054165464533712011-10-11T23:44:00.000-07:002012-03-14T23:45:15.897-07:00What To Buy In Baby Hair Accessories<div style="text-align: justify;">We all have to dress up on occasions, or even on regular days, we like to look nice and presentable. Babies have to, too, sometimes. Mothers like to have their children be well-groomed, and one way is to have them spruced up with baby hair accessories.

<br />
Plenty of items are available that moms can buy for their babies. One that they choose often times is the bow. This has been around for a long time, and girls still look good with one on.<br />

So many different designs are found on the bow from polka dots to stripes and different colors. Some people like to match their accessory to their clothing, and others just like the design. Another design includes sparkles on the bow or tiger patterns.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The next accessory is the barrette. There are so many barrettes including the flower barrette. This will look great, and designs can be on the flower with more polka dots. Colors are important, too, which match the outfit of the child. It can go anywhere on the head.<br />
<br />
Other barrettes include clips and ponytail holders. There are many ways to wear the hair. Braids and buns are good when the child gets a little older. It is common for one girl to collect many barrettes in her childhood.<br />
<br />
The next piece is the headband, and this is popular. The plastic headband is easy to put on. It can hold the bangs back out of the face and make babies feel better. Cool designs like attaching feathers, beads, and more to the plastic makes it look even nicer. Sequins are popular now. Cloth, stretchy headbands are also good to use on a young child. They make the child look nice for occasions, too, like parties and for going to church.<br />
<br />
Buying these baby hair accessories is so easy. They are sold in many different shops and stores. Prices vary on the craftsmanship. Sometimes they can be bought in packs at a discounted price.

The coat is marked as a status symbol and has various types e.g. a greaser coat, a military coat, a Goth coat etc. It is generally manufactured in Pakistan, Italy, India, Canada and Mexico and is exported successfully internationally as it has a huge market. The leather has great value and is immensely famous all around the globe as it is carries style, versatility, and classiness that no other cloth can match. It can also be worn on all types of occasions whether formal or informal as it appeals to everybody, everywhere and makes you stand out from the crowd. Not just this, a leather coat is also very usable when a harsh weather arises; it not only saves you from cold in winters but is also prone to having any effect on its exterior by the bad weather. Mostly this coat is made from the very soft and supple lamb's skin.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Since there are no protective coatings to stop the dye on the coat from going into the leather so certain restoration methods are opt by people who care for their coats. Mostly dark colored coats are easier to restore, for other colors there are many restoration kits available in the market e.g Costa Brava leather dye. You can easily follow three simple steps and make your coat brand new. First step is to restore the color, second step is to restore and correct texture and shine, and third step is to protect the coat. Most men opt for black knee length leather coats as it gives an elegant and classy look, while most women opt for more colorful leather coats with front buttons that gives them a very hip and stylish look. A leather coat generally looks the best when it has been used a couple of time, new leather coats are generally pretty stiff and starchy so to get the butter soft feel you have to wear it a couple of times to make it flexible and more appealing.<br />
<br />
Choosing the perfect coat can be difficult; in order to combat the difficulty certain steps can be followed to shop for leather coats. Firstly, make sure you are ready to spend more than two hundred dollars since it is expensive and has a lot of quality, secondly you should look for coats that are flattering to your body and can be worn in every season e.g. hip length coats can be generally worn in all seasons and mostly suites every person.

Selling t-shirts online has long been connected with charitable organisations as a means of direct promotion but with a number of new initiatives being implemented through well-known websites, the philanthropic reach of t-shirts online has significantly widened. Not only can you look great, you can also help to give back to society at the same time! There are a number of ways that buying t-shirts can be a vehicle for positive change and help to promote a more ethical society.<br />
<br />
Promotion of charitable organisations<br />
<br />
The simplest way t-shirts can help charities is by providing cheap advertising. Wearing a t-shirt with the name of your favourite charity on it can help to get the charity's message out there and increase awareness across a wider section of the population. Many charities are aware of this and even provide t-shirts online and in person, for free or for a very small donation, as a way of increasing public awareness of their cause.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Political activism<br />
<br />
Activist slogans and designs are intended to help increase awareness of a particular issue and can be a great way to make a non-confrontational stand against a specific problem within society or on a wider global basis. Activist t-shirts can be humorous or more serious in nature and have been used for everything from promoting free love in the 1960s, to poking fun at the social media saturated world of today. With a wide selection of political and activist t-shirts online, it's never been easier to make your voice heard.<br />
<br />
Using sustainable practices<br />
<br />
Many t-shirts labels may be aware of the ethical debates surrounding the clothing industry and may use local materials and fairly paid workers to produce their t-shirts. Sellers of t-shirts online tend to have lower overheads than retailers, which means they are often more able to support initiatives for sustainable practices. By supporting local industry and buying products that are sweat shop free like American Apparel, you can help to encourage more businesses selling t-shirts online to adopt ethical and environmentally sustainable practices.<br />
<br />
Celebrity designers<br />
<br />
Competitions to design charity t-shirts are becoming increasingly popular as a way for designers to make a contribution in a fun and unusual way. With a wide number of design contests for t-shirts online and projects aimed at increasing awareness of social and environmental issues, celebrity designed t-shirts can help to promote local and international charities, as well as raising funds for charitable projects.vaizalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03247290606649269323noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451978965495332771.post-5792506010418107262011-08-27T23:42:00.000-07:002012-03-14T23:42:53.562-07:00Iconic Fabric Styles<div style="text-align: justify;">This article provides a brief history of several iconic fabric houses and patterns including Missoni,Marimekko, Ikat and Suzani.<br />
<br />
Missoni: Missoni is an Italian fashion house based in Varese, Italy that was founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni in 1953. They are famous for their use of a multitude of patterns such as stripes, geometrics, and abstract florals, in a rainbow of colors and the liberal use of many different fabrics such as wool, cotton, linen, rayon and silk.<br />
<br />
Marimekko: Marimekko was founded in 1951 by Viljo and Armi Ratia. Unikko is perhaps the most famous and recognizable pattern from Marimekko, featuring a bold, colorful poppy design. The iconic print was designed in 1964 by pioneering Marimekko designer Maija Isola.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Marimekko was first introduced to the United States when architect Benjamin C. Thompson featured them in his Design Research stores. They were made famous when Jacqueline Kennedy wore Marimekko dresses frequently during the 1960 US Presidential campaign.<br />
<br />
Retailer Crate and Barrel began a relationship with Marimekko in 1960. To this day, they utilize Marimekko designs on textiles sold in their stores as well as for display backdrops to add color and seasonality.<br />
<br />
The iconic Unikko pattern is still very visible in popular design today and has been translated into many versions of different color and scale.<br />
<br />
Ikat: Ikat is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles with a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye. The threads are bound in the desired patterns and then the threads are dyed. The bindings can be altered and put through multiple dying processes to produce elaborate, multicolored patterns. When the dyeing process is finished, the bindings are removed and the threads are ready for weaving. The difference between Ikat and tie-dye is that the binding and dying occurs prior to weaving, rather than after weaving as it is in the tie-dye process.<br />
<br />
Suzani: Suzani is an embroidered and decorative tribal textile made in Central Asia. The name Suzani is derived from the Persian word for needle,Suzan. The oldest known Suzanis are from the late 1700's but it is likely that they were in use much earlier than that. Writings from the early 15th century describe the use of embroideries that were probably earlier versions of such textiles. Traditionally, the embroidery work began at the birth of a daughter and continued, with the help of family and friends, until the bride's dowry was complete. These elaborate textiles were then presented to the groom on the wedding day.<br />
<br />
Suzanis usually have a cotton fabric base which is embroidered in silk or cotton thread using primarily chain, satin, and buttonhole stitches. A technique called couching, in which decorative thread laid on the fabric as a raised line is stitched in place with a second thread, is often used as well. Often, Suzanis are made with two or more pieces of fabric that are stitched together to form a larger piece. Popular designs include sun, moon disks, and flower motifs. This includes tulips, carnations, irises, leaves and vines, fruits (especially pomegranates), and occasionally fish and birds.vaizalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03247290606649269323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451978965495332771.post-7618509923140536972011-08-11T23:41:00.000-07:002012-03-14T23:42:02.865-07:00The World of Victorinox<div style="text-align: justify;">Victorinox has become world famous for making original Swiss Army knife.

Fashion is style, image, glamour and good looks. The trends in style is fashion. It makes history with time. It brings about a change in the social norms and values. It is more like an epitome of human development influenced by various rich cultures and civilizations. The basic outline of the dress is the same. The designing styles have changed over the years. There is nothing stereotype in the making of dresses. A mixture of different cultures is seen in the designing of clothes.<br />
<br />
The western world has seen a lot of changes with the unrest in the European countries, later the change was followed by the Asian countries also. In India, people were far from fashion conscious. Only people of higher strata of the society, like royals and celebrities could think of fashion. But now, that the transformation of the society is so dramatic and fast that fashion at large has not only changed the outlook of the society, but also changed and influenced the thinking and opinion of every individual.</div><a name='more'></a><br />

Throughout the world, fashion has become a statement. The young and old are propagating fashion. It has become a nostalgic affair. Changes in history have changed the colours, texture and prints of a cloth. The apparel is now finer and available in various textures and quality. People of different status could afford to buy them. This change has been brought by the change in technology, which has effected globally.<br />
