Fashion Tips for Petite Women

Posted by iBuysblogger on Wednesday May 5, 2010 Under Fashion

Women who are petite, as well as have curves, need to us their clothing to lengthen their bodies as much as possible, while also reducing the look of it volume. There are some general rules for women whose figure fit this description. To be able to hide the figure of a short curvy body, there are a few tips you can follow.

  1. The number one focus needs to be on lengthening the look of your body. The most common error that petite women commit when it comes to their wardrobe is to cut their bodies in two with short jackets and belts. The attention gets drawn to the shortness of your body if you wear a jacket that stops at your waist, a belt on the top of your pants or over a blouse at the waist, because it put the body into two sections. Instead strive to create complete lines to make you look longer.
  2. Do not wear more fabric in the waist area then needed. If you have curves then you will already have enough volume in this area to manage, adding more will only bring attention to this area.
  3. It is a common myth that extremely long skirts will lead to your legs appearing longer. In reality these baggy and long skirts do the opposite. Long skirts only make you look taller if they are straight and stop at the ankle.
  4. A good way to make your legs appear to have more length is to wear pants (trousers / jeans) that have a straight cut and cover high heel shoes or boots. If they come almost to the floor, it will make your legs appear to be the length of the shoes, the taller the heel the taller you are and the longer your legs look.
  5. While you can mix your colors up, it is best to stick to a single color to make you appear taller and thinner. Add color to your outfits through jewelry, shoes and handbags.
  6. Do not wear thick material because it will only leave you looking even bulkier.
  7. If you are carrying around extra weight, the best trick to hide it is by wearing clothes that fit properly. If they are too big they will balloon out to make you appear larger and if they are too tight they will show every bump.
  8. Clothes that are too tight are a risk. Clothes that cling to your tummy or show off the rolls on your back are not attractive. Neither are pants so tight that you upper body mushrooms over the edge. All this will only bring unwanted attention to your problem areas.
  9. If at all possible, petite women should wear shoes with higher heels as much as possible. This does not mean stilettos; there are great wedge shoes available as well. Although a sexy stiletto with a straight cut pants is the perfect combination to give you added length and height.
  10. Never forget that any fault in your figure can be camouflaged with the right clothing

Why You Should Never Buy A Fake Designer Handbag

Posted by iBuysblogger on Friday Feb 12, 2010 Under Fashion

 

They often look cheap 
A genuine designer handbag exudes luxury and exclusivity. The fabric is of high quality and every little detail has been carefully thought through creating a well-made bag which is worthy of its (often) hefty price tag. Too many people buy into the ‘brand’ without worrying about quality. Fake designer handbags lack the quality that genuine designer bags boast, which can result in a cheap-looking imitation. Cheap replica handbags look cheap! It also defeats the point of promoting a label if you’re not prepared to purchase the genuine article.

Unless stated as a ‘fake’, replica handbags are illegal 
If sellers declare the bags as ‘fake’ then it is legal to sell imitation handbags as they don’t infringe on the designer’s copyright. If they’re not clearly labelled as fake then it’s illegal to sell counterfeit designer handbags.

You’ll be supporting organised crime 
If you buy a fake designer handbag then you’re not just simply buying a cheap handbag, you’re supporting a highly organised crime. Many of the bags are produced in Asian countries such as China and are often made by young children who work in poor conditions. Taxpayers are the people who end up with the bill from this illegal enterprise – don’t add to our taxes!

Who wants substance over style? 
Ok, so you like Chanel and Luis Vuitton. Everyone has there favourite designer and there’s nothing wrong with wanting a beautiful designer bag but when it comes to buying a fake designer handbag you’re faking so much more than your bag. Don’t forgo the quality for a cheap alternative, either buy a second-hand designer bag or buy a bag inspired by a designer classic.

You could buy a handbag inspired by a designer classic for a fraction of the price. 
Why waste money on a cheap fake designer handbag? There’s something tacky about a handbag which has been made with inexpensive materials that has been designed to ‘look’ expensive you’re not fooling anyone! Even the relatively expensive fake designer handbags don’t look 100% like the real thing. If you like a particular design then instead of buying a fake branded handbag why not choose one of the many styles that have been inspired by designer classics? For example if you like the new Gucci hobo then opt for a good quality unbranded leather hobo. There’s a lot available in the market, if you really want you can easily avoid a “fake” one and still remain stylish.
