Choosing the colors of the clothes

Do you sometimes have difficulties in choosing the color for your clothes? Do you wandering how to combine the colors of different clothing pieces? Are you sure which color fits best to your skin or eyes without trying it? Can you easily choose a new color for your hair?

It is not easy to find out the color palette, which is most appropriate for you hair, skin, and eyes. However, when you know the basic color, it is much easier to select clothing, accessories, make up and even to determine which is the best new color for your hair. The colors, which are wrong for your personality, can make you feel bad, insecure and, at the end, to keep under your self-confidence.

The truth is that fashion trends or the wrong opinions of friends or relatives can help you to make wrong decisions about the colors of your clothes. The result is that you are divided into yourself and other influencing factors when it is time for selection of pieces of clothing or make-up. This happens very often when you are not sure enough on your personal style and colors.

Colors of your personality can be divided into four types. Professional designers name these types as the seasons: winter, spring, autumn, and summer. These types depend on the color of the skin mainly: milk chocolate for spring, porcelain for summer, ivory for autumn and pink or olive for winter.

How to determine your best color palette? It is simple: make a color test. Get as much as possible clothing of different colors or simple pieces of fabrics and scarves. The most important is they to be in a single color only. The trick here is not to confuse the shades of colors you like with these that look really good next to your skin. Better invite two or three friends and make the test together. Let them vote for every color and shade: for sure you will be surprised how good you will look with rejected till the moment colors.

Let’s take, for example, the brawn color. It goes well to all people. However, there are a lot of shades of brawn and all of them are suitable for all skins. Warm yellow brawn shades are suitable for an ivory skin, whilst women with milk chocolate type of skin must select the golden brawn shade. Dark brawn is the best choice for women with olive skin and these with porcelain skin – pink brawn shade.

There are two other colors that fit well to every woman: white and black. However, the rule for different type of shades is valid here as well. If the white makes your porcelain skin to have an unhealthy look, think about white with pink or gray shadow. Blonde women with light skin have usually difficulties in wearing black: in this case better go for darker shade of gray or black mélange. A very nice trick is to have always something white next to face: pearl necklace or white scarf.

The Wallet – A Simple Accessory Or A Fashion Item

A fashion item doesn’t have to be big but it also doesn’t have to be small, there is actually only one rule when it comes to fashion items and that is pretty obvious, they need to be fashionable. Even a wallet can be considered a fashion item if it is trendy, has a nice design and a famous logo on it. Luxury wallets are actually starting to become very popular and big brands such as Gucci can offer a wide range of wallets for women and men.

Men usually prefer the bi-fold models because of their shape and the fact that they can easily fit them in their pocket. Luxury wallets are made from high grade materials, usually leather, and they have a very pleasant design despite the overall shape being the classic one.

Wallets for women are usually bigger and not only do they offer more storage room but they are also more complicated as far as design goes, they are fashion items after all so they need to look a certain way. Golden hardware is a normal thing here because it adds that needed glamour and big fashion designers spend a lot of effort into coming up with amazing new styles and constantly changing the way we see wallets.

As far as the interior goes for luxury wallets, it is pretty basic in the sense that there are compartment for money, slots for cards and sometimes a few more pockets for small things; everything is meant to offer the most out of the small size and they can actually be quite practical and sometimes, they can eliminate the need for a big handbag. Of course, there is no comparison between the two but for a formal event where all you need can fit in a luxury wallet, it might just be the best idea as far as fashion goes. Prices can range around a few hundred dollars, mostly depending on the brand but a luxury wallet is a fashion item that every woman should have.

Guide On Buying Luxury Watches

Buying a luxury watch is a very big investment so people definitely need a way to make sure that they are making the right decision. A lot of these brands have been around for hundreds of years while others have only been around for a few years now. Unfortunately, the average buyer doesn’t know how to distinguish between two brands and usually makes decisions based on their advertising, which is not always the reason why you should buy a product.

Some of the luxury watches out there can go up to a few thousand dollars or even more. When you decide to invest such a big amount of money on a watch, you should buy a proper watch that would be worth all your money. Make sure that you first choose a watch that you really like in terms of design. This is very subjective so it’s up to you to decide what shape and size you want. Just keep in mind that big watches look better on bigger hands while small watches look better on smaller hands. The other way around would just look extremely odd.

Another important thing to consider when buying expensive watches is the comfort they provide. This is mostly the band, which can come as a leather strap, metal bracelet and rubber band. Since it would have such a long contact with your skin, you will definitely need to make sure that it is high quality. A band that changes in time or gives you different allergies will definitely not make that watch wearable. So make sure that you choose an appropriate band.

Buying a timepiece should be a pleasurable activity and most of the time you will know what watch you want to buy when you will see it out there. As long as it fits your style and feels comfortable, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t buy a certain watch.

The minimalist style of the stripes

The “scent of a woman” in the new spring-summer collection of Miuccia Prada is genuine, primary defiant, open and extravagant. In short this is a unifying message in bold shapes and silhouettes. The designer once again has captured the image of the woman from the future. In the spirit of new beginnings and related optimism, Prada offers a collection of colorful diversity in electric intensity.

According to Prada’s vision, the woman knows what she likes and what she wants. Bold colors combined with clean lines create a silhouette that shows a sense of change. The freedom of the color is symbolically captured in the limits of the stripes. Thus the women is presented as both bold and limited in her desires and dreams on one side and her duties and social role – on the other. The delicate combination of baroque patterns and floral prints with stripes in contrasting colors underline the suggestion of Prada’s collection.

The combination of blue and black represents the delicate distance and inaccessibility of the female aesthetic. Alternating green and black symbolize the will for life and creativity. On the other hand, the black stripes emphasize the individualism of the adventurous woman. Green and blue, the earth and water elements, suggest the new interpretation of elegance – traditional one, but continually renewed. Orange may be associated with lust and adultery. Good associations provoke signal yellow, deep green, vital blue and magenta. Romantic pink neutralizes the effect of the grey stripes

The collection of Miuccia Prada is impressive and warm, but it provokes also a distance and respect, creating a unique feeling for a woman. The accessories, offered by the designer in her collection are charming and original as well. Glasses make strong impression that translates the futuristic vision back to the baroque style. The hair accessories in Bohemian style require special attention. They are designed in neon colors and add class and sophistication to the clothing with an innovative manner. Typically male models shoes are offered in the collection, but they are lifted up in a platform in stripes. Ladies model in retro style are a powerful reminiscent of the platform “mania” of the 20th century.

Prada’s make up, follows completely the entire collection of minimalist trend. It creates a young boy vision with its emphasize on the brow and bone structure, without blush on the cheekbones. Metallic, distancing color shades, spread across the upper eyelid, create a sense of a distance and kind of coldness, but also of power.

How to be dressed on a holiday

Have you ever thought how often the simple, small, but original and charming details can revive a toilet, to turn even the most nondescript clothing in a practical fresh idea for the holiday? The trick is the ability to find suitable accessories to the clothing that to be noticeable enough. Thus you could ensure complete success and even noble envy in the eyes of others.

 

Bet for the classic outfit. This is the easiest way to impress the room. Choose pants with bustier, short skirt with spectacular blouse or little black dress made of woven or knitted fabric. Select lightweight, sheer fabrics, which can add glitter to your look. Shining is the best for every holiday evening, but try to avoid sequins. Do not forget to add emphasis – a scarf, collar, jewel belt, etc.

 

The holiday in your… hair. Choose a spectacular style with volume, waves or stylish colored layers. Your hair will be your bijou for the festive evening. You can spray glitter in the locks for better mood. A thin tiara, playful hair-clasp or band of fabric with a small ribbon on top will brighten up your hair. In this way you may forget about jewelry. Everyone’s attention will be attracted by the upper part of your body, so be careful with the makeup. Bright hair color implies a slight, barely noticeable makeup. Highlight only the eyes and put gloss on the lips.

 

The belt. Look for a wide belt of leather with plastic buckle and possibly – very large in size, type bodice. The color is important. It should be contrasted with that of your clothes and be seen from afar. Thus, the belt will become the focus of your outfit. Combine it with a simple black dress with a right knee-length to acquire Hollywood chic. You will have even greater success using a wide belt with sequins, glitter in a gold or silver. Add a small purse type bag in the same style for complete elegance.

 

The magical scarf. Collars are always in fashion but recently coats, jackets and shirts are designed with larger collars, which cover the shoulders and the arms even to the elbows. You can replace the collar with a big scarf. It can be made of silk or fine cold wool. So your dress for the festive evening may be with thin straps or mini-length. It is better when the scarf is plain, in one of the shades of the fashionable purple, for example. If you love cheerful colors, think about bold shoes as well to soften the focus. Large bracelet in the same bold colours or earrings with purple stones could have the same distracting effect.

 

The visible bijou. If your earrings are made of large and colored crystals, stop there! Only a large ring in the same style would fit well with them. Everyone loves to decorate Christmas trees, but noone would admired women who look like Christmas trees. If you are invited to a fine dinner, remember that the etiquette requires to have only a wedding ring or just a ring on the fourth finger.

Honeysuckle – A Must This Year

When a new fashion season comes, maybe the most important thing is what color will determine its success. Every year, fashion designers choose specific colors for their designs, and every year we embrace them as a part of our own style, our own personality. This year, as it marks new beginnings, a suiting color was needed and honeysuckle is the perfect choice. From the plant that bares the same name, this color is very bright and it does resemble some peach tones combined with purple to get one of the most vibrant colors for this year.

As you now have the color for your outfit, you need to match it with yourself. For this task, you can use soft and warm colorful makeup. This color is not really for those with a white tan so if you plan on wearing it this season, make sure you first get a nice tan to get the perfect overall design.

Honeysuckle-Strapless-Dress

As for other items, you can use a peach dress with a honeysuckle top or if you plan on something a bit more elegant, you can combine it with a black dress and you will still look amazing.

A white handbag will definitely do the trick as would white shoes. Depending on your style and on the look you want to obtain, this color of the year can also be combined with willow color for a somewhat crazy look. No matter how you decide to wear it, one thing is for sure, that this color will be seen not only on the latest fashion presentations but also on the streets. It is a great color that can say a lot of things about yourself and will give you the chance to express yourself in a great and fashionable way. Make sure you have it in your wardrobe this year.
