What Are The Next Trends In Pop Star Apparel Going To Be?

March 10th, 2010
Comments Off

It’s so much easier to predict the past than the future! In the fickle world of entertainment, that’s even more true than it is in the serious world of politics and economics.

Wallstreet gurus would like us to believe that they have all the answers to our economic future. They’ve said it before and look what happened! It would be wonderful to have the power to accurately predict the future, but it’s just impossible.

If something as critical to our future as our economy cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy, what chance have we to predict the upcoming trends in something as frivolous as pop star fashion? Just because leather brown boots were a popular accessory with some old rockers and are now long out of fashion doesn’t mean they won’t suddenly become cool again.

Fashion trends depend on the power of the artist and that’s unpredictable. The Beatles are the perfect example of that. Before they came on the scene, no man in his right mind would have worn his hair long. It only took as long as it takes hair to grow before long hair was being worn by men everywhere after their first album reached America.

Let’s say a new pop superstar named Jean Skinny arrives on the scene. Jean has an androgynous style of clothing. She wears men’s clothing and combs her hair like a man. It’s all subtly and carefully done, though, so she doesn’t look masculine.

There’s one more accessory that Jean is known for – it’s her black sport watch. She always takes off her jacket and rolls up her sleeves before she performs, so that big man’s watch stands out clearly on her wrist. It looks so good on her that wearing men’s watches becomes a worldwide fad. Girls everywhere throw away their feminine time pieces and go out and find the biggest men’s watches they possibly can.

While everything else about her costume has been carefully designed and chosen by top costume designers, her watch was not. It belonged to her Dad, who died suddenly just before he was able to see her reach stardom. She only wears it in homage to him.

She wasn’t trying to start a fashion trend. In fact, it was years before she revealed to anyone the reason why she wore it. Her manager, on the other hand, had deliberately been trying to start a trend when he got designers to give her that look she was so famous for. Nobody could have predicted the outcome. It just happened. You just can’t predict the fashion future!

Versense – New Fragrance From Versace

March 8th, 2010
Comments Off

Versace’s new fragrance Versense is inspired by nature’s elements, promising balance of the senses and revitalization of energy. Dubbed as “a promise for the senses”, this fragrance for women marries the freshness of Mediterranean notes and contemporary bouquet to bring out the fusion of sensuality and glamour that marks the Versace woman of today.

Fresh yet intoxicating, Versense opens up with fresh notes of bergamot and mandarin orange then develops into a stunning balance of floral notes featuring jasmine, sea daffodil and cardamom. The dry down warms into a subtle musk aroma arising from cedar wood, sandal wood, olive tree and musk. The juice is housed in a transparent bottle embossed with Versace’s signature insignia and the juice comes in a luminous color of light green.

Versense, at first impression, reeks green floral accords. Light and airy notes arising from bergamot and orange notes decorate the top. The floral notes in the middle are somewhat neutered and barely there. The musk notes counter the green-ness of the fragrance and the dry down evokes a feeling of sophistication and quiet elegance that perfectly fits the days of summer.

The sheer character of Versense is similar to that of Versace’s Bright Crystal. Although these two are not in any way similar in olfactive experience – Bright Crystal is in the sweet-soft-floral category whereas Versense permeates more of the green accords and the floral notes are hushed. Both fragrances are considered light and the sillage is very feminine. The scent is long lasting even if it’s an EDT.

Versense is available in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml EDT and the collection also includes a full line of body products such as body lotion (for layering) and shower gel.

Pregnancy Does Not Mean Saying Goodbye To Fashion

March 5th, 2010
Comments Off

In the past, buying maternity wear meant that a woman would have to forgo fashion for comfort. Muumuus were all the rage. Okay, not really, but pregnant women did not have very many choices when it came to what to wear. Generally, overweight women and pregnant women were lumped together, and both had no recourse but to wear what was offered.

In the past a woman buying clothing to accommodate her pregnancy would find some of the ugliest garments imaginable. Enormous flowers, baby rattles and diaper pins, unattractive colors and bows and collars so exaggerated that the woman may look like she herself is the baby.

How about the tops that point out in some supposedly cute manner that the woman is pregnant. Sometimes these tops will even point out where the baby is, or included some embarrassing sexual innuendo. Who could wear this?

Today the fashion industry recognizes the needs of these woman. There are enough different styles, sizes, and patterns to make any pregnant woman feel beautiful. Pregnancy is after all a time in a woman’s life when she is more likely to feel vulnerable and less attractive. However, these women should feel beautiful as they participate in one of the most beautiful, natural wonders that the world has to offer.

Whether wearing sandals, her favorite brown boots, or even slippers, there is now something that is certain to look terrific, and be in keeping with any woman’s style preferences.

It is not at all uncommon for woman to find the need to continue wearing this clothing even when the pregnancy has been completed. Some people are surprised to learn this, while others who have already have other children are well aware of it before hand. It is a great idea to plan for this when purchasing garments. There are many available that can be adjusted as weight and size fluctuate. This will save more than a bit of money for many women who need a bit more time to get back into shape.

Believe it or not, a leather watch is a perfect investment at this time. Many women do not feel the need to keep track of time throughout the day, until to become mothers. This is when they learn the importance of keeping children on a very tight schedule. Alarm clock may or may not be necessary, however people can count on the new baby waking them as consistently as the one clock would. Take heart, sleep will return eventually.

Sunglass selection

March 2nd, 2010
Comments Off

There is nothing to expect from cheap sunglasses other than poor quality. Low standards are not a problem with reputed brand names because their best sunglasses represent a continuation of tradition and the preservation of good reputation. Lots of harm can be caused to the eye if low quality sunglasses are used. Dark lenses cause a dilation of the pupil, thus the entrance gate for the infrareds and ultraviolets will be a lot higher in the absence of UV protection features. Sight impairment, crystalline dysfunctions and cataract could be among the severest consequences of the exposure to radiations.

Image distortion is one other flaw of poor quality sunglasses. This is often caused by plastic lenses that have faulty dioptric values which have not been established by medical prescription. A further criterion to appreciate the quality of the best sunglasses is by comfort and face match. If you try more pairs on, you’ll see that there is a big difference between matching and not-matching glasses, as they have to fit well on the face. Then, the best sunglasses also reduce the light reflection or glare by the presence of an anti-polarizing coating.

Can we select the best sunglasses by color too? Well, opinions differ here. The capacity to absorb the colors of the visible spectrum and the reduction of the light intensity vary depending on the color. Not anyone can wear dark lenses for instance because they can reduce visibility: gray is usually preferred by drivers, pilots and many other users. The best efficiency in terms of radiation absorption features is that of green lenses, but green makes it hard to distinguish between colors. Greeninterferes with the perception of blue, red, orange and violet. For tropical locations, green lenses make the best sunglasses, not to mention the relaxing effect of the color.

Brown lenses are suitable in warm and cold environments as well, and radiations are very well absorbed. Yellow lenses on the other hand are not useful against intense brightness but are great for foggy weather or driving at sunset. The idea is that the best sunglasses are those that provide protection and comfort at the same time. Wraparounds are among the most advanced of items because they protect the sides of the eyes too against the impact of the ultraviolets. And keep in mind that the price should not reflect the special design of the frames or their glamorous look but the properties of the lenses. Eye protection is the most important!
