She helped in making popular the bob hairstyle, use of jersey knit among women, as well as use of the little black dress. She also made popular the use of jewelry and knitwear among her clients.

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Accessories help create your look, it doesn’t matter how simple or extravagant it may already be by itself. Some of the most popular accessories are sunglasses, bags, socks, jewelry, hair accessories, flowers and scarves. Others not so popular, but as fashionable are gloves and hats. There are no rules for choosing your accessories, but here we offer some tips to help you complement your look.

Think of your body size before choosing your accessories, in general, big accessories are for big people and vice versa, but this is not a rule, some sunglasses are more glamorous when used in a big proportion compared to the size of your face. Accessories are for everyone, if you know how to rock them. Don’t be scared about using a lot of them at once but always manage to not appear overcharged since people may loose you and concentrate on your big necklace and earrings. Accessories are for complementing your clothes, not competing with them; if your dress is very elaborate with beading or print, try to use small and simple accessories like stud earrings and a simple bracelet. If your dress is plain or solid, then you can go all the way with outstanding accessories to be the highlight of the night.

If you are on a budget and can’t afford the ultimate fashion trends, accessories are the easiest way to boom your style, just change them up with simple tops and include some sunglasses, scarves or hats for that chic look. Accessories change your outfit making it look glamorous, casual, and sporty or sophisticate. Before leaving your house, always look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can take off, what you can add, and then evaluate which way your look is better and exactly how you want it to be.

One of the most preferred and fashionable items is the bracelet because of it versatility and thousands of designs. The history of bracelets goes way back to 2.500 AC but bracelets were later popularized by the Romans. At the beginning, they were used by men as well as women.

Purses are a key part of the style since other than glamorous; they also have a function. There are millions of models, sizes and colors for your bag. Usually, the size should be accordingly in proportion to your body size as well; a tall woman should not wear a really small bag since it can make them look even taller. Colors and styles are a personal predilection; don’t be afraid of using bright colors even if they aren’t the exact same ones as your outfit, they add a feminine and fun touch to your aspect.

Even if shoes are part of your ensemble, the type of model you choose to wear can point out the pros and cons of your legs. Your shoes become an extension of your legs so it is extremely important to choose correctly depending on the length of your dress or skirt.

Your Handbag Style and You

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Your handbag style is unique and original. It’s like a finger print; it belongs to you and only you and is distinct to your exact characteristics. Oh sure, the other woman has the same exact handbag, but it doesn’t accessories the same on her and it doesn’t say about her, what it says about you! This article takes a fun and chocolate approach to personality types and the handbags that match. You may say to yourself, “I don’t know what my type is or even know which handbag is best for me.” Well, read on my sister in Handbag-dom, you’re sure to come away with a fundamental knowledge of how, not only to choose the right handbag for you, but how to assess your personality type to get the bag that exclaims – THIS IS ME!

Given that each woman is beautifully unique, here are some great suggestions on different types of handbags for the different types of personalities represented, and the statements they make… Happy Learning!

A Woman Who is Prepared for Anything

Go with a sleek, stylish bag with plenty of pockets and spaces to organize your essentials, like the Gucci Brit Medium shoulderbag in black suede, a large slouchy Marc Jacobs shoulderbag, or Brynne Corseted handbag.

A Woman Who Prides Herself on Her Creativity

A Woman Who is Known for Her Ability to Work Well Under Pressure

What Handbag Size Conveys

Size really does matter! Some women carry a uniquely small purse, which probably contains little more than a lipgloss and a credit card. This type of handbag; dainty and under the arm says, “I am a globe-trotter. When I travel I don’t need anything more than my credit card.” (A girl should always be ready!)

However, today’s hottest handbags are enormous! Hummer-like, with loads of embellishments, grommets and rings…very rock and roll. A tribute to Jane Birken who always carried her life in her bag. Hermes created a bag specifically for her and that bag’s revival was THE bag to have. This kind of large bag acquires the rock and roll attitude that says, “‘I’m every woman, it’s all in me!”.

The Color of Your Handbag

Let’s talk about color. Bright colored handbags and accessories are often designed for young girls, but many women love color as well. Here’s a nugget of wisdom on handbag color choices: If you love color, go with color … but definitely think about what the color does for you. If you don’t look great in red, but love the color and are crazy about beet red bag – go for it! But choose a handbag with a small strap, so you’re not wearing the color next to your skin. A colorful bag can make an outfit, but too much can be too much. Follow the rule the makeup artists use – do the eyes or the lips, but don’t do both. Doing so can cheapen the effect.
