Watch can be fashionable!

Fashion for watches has a pretty short history. For a long period of time models of watches were designed exclusively by watch companies who produced them. However, about 20 years ago fashion houses decided that this market niche had to be occupied either and started creating various styles so that women had great variety of items to satisfy their tastes.

Fashion is very changeable and each season we see tens of new watch collections. This season designers made up their minds to create models that are catchy and far from boring.

Tender rosy tints

Pink is a nice and beautiful colour that elevates and looks very feminine. That is why pink watches are represented so widely in designers’ collections this season. A few years ago pink accessories were considered only for those who are light-minded and young. Now the situation has changed and rosy watches are not just modern and trendy, they are polished!

Here are some perfect pieces that certainly deserve your attention:

Tag Heuer Watches - FORMULA 1 - Diamonds

Jacques Lemans has created the watch line called Venice. The wristwatch that you see at the picture has a square case and a dial plate with rosy sun rays meeting in the centre. Bracelet is also of tender rosy hues, made of soft natural leather.

The most tender and chic watch of pink colour presented here is the one by Tag Heuer called ‘Formula 1 Chronograph Diamonds’.

Halloween wigs can be of various types and colours: long, short, curly and black, white, red, etc. Among this great variety you will certainly find the one that will suit you best.

Here are the wigs that certainly deserve your attention.

Besides contact lenses there are other items that can make your eyes look in a new way - colourful eyelashes!

Eyelashes of different length, colour and density. Just look at them, they are gorgeous!

Tights have always been used to complement ladies’ outfits.

Now they are no more an accessory, they are a solo fashion trend. And you put them on to brighten up your looks and make yourself more noticeable rather than just to match your dress.

There are classical styles that are always popular. For example, herring-bone pattern, check, stripe, floral and geometrical décor.

Evening pantyhose have a metallic gloss, ornamented with spangles or patterns. Tights for everyday use have to be elegant and monotone.

And, of course, black tights, that are fashionable all year round. Just scroll through winter collections by Anna Sui, Oscar De La Renta, Chanel or Emma Cook and you will certainly see black tights with slight glossy effect.

Bright colours. This autumn and winter tights of these tints are must-have items of your wardrobe. You can find them in Ioannis Dimitrousis and Richard Nicoll’s collections.

Bright opaque pantyhose are presented by Basso & Brooke, Eley Kishimoto, Pucci, John Galliano, Jasper Conran, Moschino and Sonia Rykiel.

Fall rains and cold are here and we have to make sure that our hands and manicure are still perfect. In this case the best friends for us are gloves - elegant, lady-like and aesthetic. Besides, they are an accessory that can be worn a year round.

Gloves are popping up on so many runways that we should definitely pay our attention to them. They have been presented in large quantities on Fall 2008 Runway Shows.

Many designers accessorized their collections with these necessary pieces of clothing.

Scroll through pictures from the Fall 2008 Fashion Weeks and you’ll see gloves of all length -short, long and in all colors, giving the wearer a bit of feminine sophistication. Wrist length, forearm, or full, gloves give an elegant finishing touch to any outfit.

They can be playful, quiet, regal, fun or sporty, fingered or fingerless, leather or lacy, etc. Every woman of fashion can find a nice pair for herself.

Couturiers created their collections taking into consideration various women’s preferences.

For instance, Betsey Johnson, a world renown fashion designer, accessorized some of her colourful dresses with fingerless gloves. It certainly looks interesting.

Lacoste’s gloves are for those who prefer free, more casual style.

Jill Stuart and Lauren Conrad show us gloves which can go with evening gowns.

Mara Hoffman’s line has some really terrific pairs! Just look at them!

Like all important accessories such as handbags, belts, shoes or hats gloves can instantly change the look and mood of an outfit.

The collections from the recent Fashion Shows suggest us a lot of choices. So, go ahead and find a pair that will be a perfect one for you!

It has signed an agreement with Summer Rayne Oakes company, Discovery Network’s Planet Green fashion and beauty expert and author of Style, Naturally: The Savvy Shopping Guide to Sustainable Fashion & Beauty (2009), to work as the green footwear brand’s Eco Consultant.

The appearance collection will include on-trend, stylish accessory products and footwear that are also green up to the use of ecologically sustainable and eco-friendly matters such as organic linen and cottons, natural hemp fibre and recycled outsoles, as well as the use of eco-smart packing.

Every season the collection will be refreshed offering the latest trends.

So fat the new brand will be released for women, and will include kids’ and men’s styles in the future.

The “green” shoes will be available at prices, on average, of under $30 a pair early next year in about 500 stores with select styles appearing in 1,000 stores, as well as generally available on Ryless.com(R).
The line is unequalled not only as the first-ever available green footwear, but also because it will stress fashion first, while being eco-smart.

The sustainability movement is pervasive today and is touching so many elements of consumers’ daily lives and they are interested in more and more green product options being available to them,” told Matt Rubel, CEO of Collective Brands, Inc., the parent company of Payless ShoeSource. “But green items are often expensive and inaccessible to so many. With our mission to democratize the latest ideas in footwear and accessories, we are in the best position and proud to bring forward a green footwear line that is affordable and accessible to all. Our alliance with Summer Rayne Oakes is important to this new brand initiative. Summer Rayne is a trend-setting expert in Eco Fashion, and she will help us launch our new green brand, as well as assist us in driving innovation with fresh, new eco-smart ideas for this brand going forward.”

The line is unequalled not only as the first-ever available green footwear, but also because it will stress fashion first, while being eco-smart.

When Payless approached me to partner with them on what would be their first-ever affordable green line of footwear, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse,” said Oakes. “It’s high time a stylish line of shoes can be both environmentally friendly and reasonably priced. Payless is at the forefront of a significant movement bridging fashion, environmental awareness and accessibility — an undertaking I am proud to be a part of.”

Payless ShoeSource company said it expects to launch the new brand name closer to when the shoes are available in stores next year.

Here are the tips to help you choose scarves for the Autumn 2008.

It is early fall now, but it’s still rather hot. It seems no scarf is need at the moment. However, that’s a great mistake! Scarves have no peculiar seasons to be worn!

They are the most versatile of all pieces of clothes. They add color and style to any outfit and can change the look of an ensemble almost immediately! Stores bring out various types of scarves for every season and weather type.

A lot of new fall fashions have recently appeared in the shops, but, without the cooler temperatures, a lot of these designs are hard to wear.

You can add transitional pieces to your wardrobe during this time of year; it’s a nice way to look quite appropriately for autumn, not too summery or too heavy.

For a long time the scarf has been considered just as an accompaniment to a heavy coat. Everything is changing and now we have it as a solo fashion item. Keeping that in mind, let’s speak about different textures, colors, and ways in which you can wear the scarf.

Texture is very important. In summer, late spring and early hot fall it is essential to choose light textures such as silk or chiffon.

With the first signs of the fall you should switch to the scarf in a linen and cotton blend, as well as in silk to not look too summery, but at the same time to feel comfortable. These options are great for this time of year.

Color is also of great importance for this transitional time. You are still wearing a few of your lighter and brighter colored summer pieces, but are starting to incorporate the darker fall items into your wardrobe. This fall some of the “neutral”
