  1. Choosing the Right Hand Bag

    August 22, 2011 by admin

    A handbag can flatter the shape of your body as much as the dress or pair of jeans you wear.

    Sometimes you find it difficult matching your bags with your clothes, thus you definitely need to pay attention to some useful tips of choosing the right bag for you. You need to be practical in buying those bags; ask yourself if you really need it and try to imagine how many outfits you can have it paired with.

    For versatility, you might want to secure a couple of handbags in neutral colors in black, brown, white or cream tones in all kinds of styles. These colors go well with almost everything.

    You might want to select bags that suit your lifestyle to make sure you’ll be using them. The next time you’re looking for a handbag or impulsively buying one, ask yourself these questions:

    • Do I need it as an accessory or for practical use?
    • How often will I be using the bag?
    • Where do I intend to use it?

    If you need the bag as an accessory to spice up your party outfit, pick one that is smaller to avoid distracting your overall look. Get one that is trendy and eye catching.

    If you need a bag for practical use to carry your things to work or school, then pick something that are bigger in size. Also get one that is supple and simple-designed to help you move with ease.

    If you are selecting fashion handbags, choose one that matches your personal style. Just remember to select a handbag that has a ‘trademark’ all your own!


  2. Casual Fridays

    August 16, 2011 by admin

    Companies now have a growing trend to allow casual attires on Fridays. It is something to look forward to at the end of work week. But not knowing how to dress for it can sometimes be a challenge.

    Wearing conservative corporate attire can be boring day after day. We look forward to Casual Friday to enjoy dressing in more casual and comfortable styles. It is sometimes a chance to let your personal style and taste shine through even more. Casual attire, though, does not mean wearing a sloppy outfit.

    Business casual does not connote Sunday leisure. As a professional in your field, your physical appearance should speak volumes and therefore must maintain a professional demeanor at all times.

    Here are a few helpful styling tips to keep in mind for Casual Fridays:

    When selecting attire, choose complementary tones and hues that work well with each other. There must be a balance in colors that should not be visually distracting.

    Select tops and bottoms made of casual fabrics with classic fit. This balanced approach permits the wearer comfort and ease while delivering a polish and casual style.

    Casual Friday is perfect to welcome unique details that add a bit of glamour and fun to your dressing style. Scarves with unique pattern, a bit of color or an accessory or belt can bring you to center stage.
