Evening Dresses

Buying Lovely Evening Dresses at Affordable Prices

Evening DressesOne of the most important and vital decisions you will face at some point in your life is choosing the ideal evening dress. The actual process of shopping can be a lovely and challenging adventure. Amidst the overall overwhelming task of shopping for something special, a woman might have to deal with stressful conditions.Evening dresses can be used at proms, at receptions, at special nights out or at weddings. Evening dresses are usually purchased before choosing any complementing apparel. Therefore the choice should be the result of thorough and serious consideration.

If you are on a budget or money is an issue, you can benefit from the numerous evening dress sale events that take place all year long. They are usually held a few times a year, mostly at the end of every season. They are events at which major or smaller manufacturers and retail stores offer gowns and evening dresses to create more space for the new collection and inventory. Prices are usually very affordable and reasonable, as the discounts are huge. There are impressive deals to be found even if you opt for designer evening dresses. In these cases, some of the most renowned and elegant fashion houses offer their clothes and dresses up to half the price.

simple evening gownIn order to get the best possible selection, you need to get information on where the event is taking place. Try to acquire some information on the particular procedures and details regarding the event. Keep in mind that most major shops have women lined up outside for many hours waiting to get as many great deals as they can. Smaller or local stores feature smaller selections and hold the event for a few days or even a week.

Whether you are buying a simple evening gown or an expensive dress, the selection criteria are the same. You need to keep the theme in mind. Is it a particular formal occasion, or something you may need at some point and you want to be prepared? Narrow down your options so as to concentrate on the evening dresses that bring out and designate your beauty and style. Keep an open mind, though. Even if you go online and do an initial research you might not find the exact same cuts and dresses you had bookmarked.

Sample Evening DressesIf going to a sample evening dress event or a store with a fixed idea, you might leave empty handed. Do not waste valuable time on unflattering designs and styles, especially since time is usually limited and stores tend to be rather hectic. Be prepared, but also flexible. You might come across a versatile dress that could be used on different occasions, allowing you to be very well dressed and very beautiful.

Consider your body type, choose something that makes you look nice and sexy, and why not voluptuous and curvy if that is your style. Evening dresses are supposed to be the focal point of a woman's wardrobe, because they are feminine, special and intriguing. ( C A)

Fashion Hair Styles

Famous People and Hairstyles through the Years
By Rachael Taylor

Hairstyles date back hundreds of years and generally reflected what was happening socially at the time. Hairstyles have gone through many changes over the past several decades. The one consistency has been that the hairstyles that were worn by icons of popular culture symbolized what was thought to be the ideal. To find out more about the inspiration for particular hairstyles over the last century, read on.
Fashion Hair Styles
In the early 1900’s wealthy women set the standard of wearing hair jewels and hats with veils and lace. They dusted their hair with gold and silver powders for the nights. Antoine of Paris created a look of hair parted in middle and swept back in smooth bands over the ears. In 1907 the Marcel wave swept the United States and Europe. In 1910 American nurses in Europe cut their hair short to avoid a flea infestation and the women in America began to cut their hair short for fashion.
Wavy Hair Styles
The Louise Brooks’s bob became the popular hairstyle in the 1920’s as women began to express their freedom. They also began shedding their corsets to enter the workforce and in 1931 Jean Harlow starred in the movie “Platinum Blonde.” This hair color then swept the nation. Also in the 1930’s, Shirley Temple’s ringlet curls had women of all ages pinning their own hair into tight curls.
Hair Styles
During WWII when feminine was ideal, women began copying Hollywood hairstyles. In the 1940’s, Rita Hayworth began the hairstyle trend of side-parted finger waves the sexiest style of that time. Veronica Lake and her cascading blonde hair defined glamour.

The 1950’s brought a trend of highlighting and Lucille Ball’s flaming red hair was an example. Also Doris Day had a helmet like hairstyle that inspired her fans and Audrey Hepburn started the pixie cut.

During the 1960’s people were letting their hair down and the rock group The Beatles, wore their hair long. This ended the gender norm in hairstyles. The Beatle look became a very popular hairstyle for men of all ages.

In the 1970’s, the musical “Hair” came out during a time of sexual revolution. Angela Davis’s afro became a symbol for black pride. One of the most copied hairstyles of the 1970’s was the Farrah Fawcett feathered back hairdo.

The 1980’s were an economic boom and women began the mall bang trend. Big hair and poodle perms were the big thing.

The 1990’s found many women heading to the hair salons looking for the Jennifer Aniston hairstyle. Her hair at the time was an angled, layered, shag haircut. And the millennium brought Sarah Jessica Parker’s flowing curly look back into style.

HAPPY 2010!!!

That's my wish to all of you, FW's readers. 
From the deep of my heart, I wish you:



Peace



Happiness



Love



An healthy life



Lot's of fashion :)



...and always be FABULOUS!

Prom Dresses 2010

What is the Difference Between a Junior and Senior Prom Gown?

Prom Dresses 2010Whether you are going to the junior or senior prom dresses 2010, the start of a new year usually begins the mad dash to begin planning for this favorite high school event. As you are in the midst of your planning and shopping, you're likely to ask yourself this one question: What's the difference between a junior prom dress and senior prom dress? Let's talk about that now!

Junior prom dresses 2010: Although they are both fun and important events in your high school career, generally speaking - the junior prom is a less formal event. Gowns for this dance are typically shorter, more trendy and a lot cheaper than you would spend on your senior prom gown. These dresses are especially designed for girls between the ages of fourteen to seventeen years old, so they also tend to be more modest and age appropriate. In many ways, this gown is going to be more along the lines of a cocktail dress than a formal event dress. Most retailers and dress designers have special sections just for junior prom dresses, and as you browse them - you will notice that there is an obvious difference between the styles, cuts, shapes and lengths of them. Because the junior prom is just one year away from the senior prom, try not to overspend. The dress you buy for the junior dance can also be worn to your homecoming dance during your senior year.

Senior prom dresses 2010Senior prom dresses 2010: The senior prom is the final major dance of your high school career, and apart from your high school graduation, it will be the most memorable event as well. People tend to spend more money on the twelfth grade prom than any other event during the four years of high school. Senior prom gowns are typically more formal than their junior prom counterparts. Most teen girls will opt for longer gowns that are fitted, sophisticated and elegant. While a junior dance dress can usually be worn to other semi-formal events, you will likely only wear your senior dance dress one time. This dance is like the equivalent to a Hollywood red carpet event, so finding the most stylish and glamorous gown is extremely important.

Formal Evening Dress

Tips to Pick the Right One

Formal Evening DressIt may have been that in the past you only wore a (hopefully) cheap short formal evening dress to cocktail parties. In recent years that trend has undergone a noticeable shift.. These days you see short formal evening dress at pretty much any social event, proms and homecoming dances included. You see more of them all the time and there is a vast selection of short dresses obtainable at literally all price levels.

The favored materials for formal evening dress are taffeta, chiffon, satin and silk, among others. Sleeker fabrics lend themselves to sexier looks, while fabrics like chiffon and taffeta, lighter in feel and structure, will give fun and flirty styles.

Keep the shape of your body in mind when choosing a cheap formal evening dress. While there are uncounted numbers of gorgeous dresses offered for any body type, not every type of dress works for every type of body. Dresses that are too tight or too loose don't look becoming on anybody, be they full figured or skinny. Any dress should show your body as beautiful, no matter the size you use; it should show off your femininity without revealing it all.

designer dressRemember less may be more, and I don't mean less material, but rather trying less hard to impress. The most expensive designer dress will fall flat on a woman that feels awkward in it, while a simple dress worn naturally by a woman with confidence is dazzling anytime. An uncomfortable dress not only ruins your evening, it usually isn't flattering on you either, since your confidence suffers great set backs when you feel awkward and self conscious. So being able to move freely in your formal evening dress and feeling comfortable in it is very important.

If you want to know what styles and colors look best on you, you could follow this suggestion. At a mall, try on cheap formal evening dress in different styles, lengths and colors. To know what a dress really looks like on you, try this: In the mirror you don't see all angles. Take a friend along to take a few photos of you in a dress you like with your cell phone from several angles like front, back and side view. Don't look at the photos yet, but rather try on several quite different models.

After you've tried on a variety of formal evening dress that you liked and have taken pictures of yourself in them, stop for a moment and have a look at the photos. Now you can make a decision which one looks best on you, style, fit and color, all of it. At this point you have several choices: you can buy the dress at the store or you can shop around some more to see if you can't find a comparable dress at a bargain price somewhere else (this is also a good way to be able to choose styles on the internet, since you'll know what will look good on you).

Girls Shoes

Trends Girls Shoes

Girls ShoesAny parent or guardian knows what a challenge it can be to satisfy the needs and wants of young girls, especially when it comes to what they wear. Fashion is so very important at this stage, and keeping up with the latest trends will stymie even the most creative and committed parent or guardian. Girls shoes are a big part of this undertaking. Practicality does not need to take a second seat to style, however, since makers of girls shoes understand how hard it can be to keep those young ladies happy while satisfying the budgetary considerations of the ones who will be paying the tab.

This challenge really begins in the toddler ages. Even though infant girls may not be fully aware of just how their appearance is being presented to the public, the need to show up in attractive footwear is just as important at this point as it ever will be. Luckily, makers of girls shoes know this, and they provide a wide selection of shoes for the very young ones that will protect those fragile feet while looking good.

Girls ShoesParents and guardians have so many choices available to them in girls shoes for toddlers. There are athletic shoes, boots, clogs, denim shoes, sandals, and skate shoes. There are a variety of casual and dress shoes to choose from as well. Mary Janes, patent leather shoes, slip-ons, and t-straps are available in all toddler sizes. There are of course many styles of booties and easy-to-wear shoes for infant girls that are designed with the parent or guardian in mind, while at the same time staying in touch with the latest fashion trends.

As the girls get a little older, they become even more aware of their look. This means that even though they are out playing, they will still want to look their very best. Makers of girls shoes are aware of this, and they offer so many different shoes that can stand up to the wear and tear of any active young girl's daily life. Athletic shoes alone can make up a big part of a young girls wardrobe, yet the need for a sense of style and color choices is still a big part of what they want.

DC Shoes is one maker of girls shoes who has a grasp on the latest styles in athletic shoes. They offer many choices for girls starting with the very youngest ladies. Sneakers and skate shoes in different colors and materials can match any outfit while being able to hold up to the activities that are so important in girls shoes. Heely's, Saucony, Geox, and Stride Rite also offer many good choices in athletic girls shoes, from the pristine all-white style to the multi-colored look that is so very popular.
