Meels (aka Men in heels)
OK!! Last time I went to party with my friend, I got the huge desire to wear red high heels!! Then, I was very happily surprised to find my picture on a very nice Trend Blog talking about "Men in heels"!!
" The trend is all about men integrating heels into
their outfits in a sexy, quirky way. It is by no means akin to wearing
drag. After all, high heels were popular with both women AND men in the
French court during the 16th century. This further justifies my
suspicion that we will see men continue to gravite towards more
colorful, exuberant and daring fashions in the not so far future. Marc
Jacobs, never a shrinking violet, has added to his collection of man
skirts a set of meels. The pair he is seen sporting in the picture
actually are men shoes but with higher than usual heels. "

Teens Can Hone Entrepreneurial Skills With Fashion Dress Up Games
You may have thought that playing online games for girls is just about giving fun dressing up an avatar. But fashion dress up games can also be a real entrepreneurial experience. Websites such as GirlSense enable teens and tweens to create their own e-boutiques, where they exhibit and sell clothes that they have created. Everything can be designed with the advanced user interface: the boutique colors, and the clothing styles and patterns. Teens and tweens can sell their designs to other girls for virtual money. Now, with help of a new feature called MarketPlace, girls can buy and sell their personal designs in a virtual auction house. MarketPlace works just like a real auction house: you can bid, view highest and lowest prices, and see the time remaining until the auction ends.All these features can give teens and tweens a real sense of satisfaction. This is because they are not merely fashion dress up games, but also a real grown-up experience. Furthermore, by creating their own boutiques, girls get to express their own sense of fashion as well as their individuality.
Games for girls are currently very popular with teens and tweens, who enjoy the freshness of the concept, as well as the traditional aspects of playing games. To play fashion dress up games, girls create the design of their choice by dragging and dropping items from the e-boutique selection onto an avatar. To make the whole experience more real, online clothes games, such as those featured on GirlSense, include e-boutiques based on real fashion brands.

FIVE KEYS TO WEARING WHITE JEANS (GQ STYLE)
5. Bet on Black
White jeans never look better than when paired with black—be it a polo shirt or a V-neck sweater.
4. Get Your Footing
White sneakers work great with white jeans, as long as the sneaks have some detailing. Wear all-white tennis shoes and you’ll look like a male orderly.
3. Bring on the Sand
White jeans say summer. Bring a pair with you when you head to the beach for a week and wear them with everything from flip-flops to an unbuttoned shirt.
2. Lose the Belt
Do like most of the guys here and wear your white jeans without a belt for a lighter, leaner look. Just make sure the jeans fit well.
1. Pick the Right Coat
And go ahead and throw on a suit jacket or sport coat. But remember: If you want to maintain the clean, minimal look of the white jeans, opt for a jacket neutral in color and without a pattern.
Ready for Take-off
I finally got my Fossil Aviator watch. Been eyeing it for some time now and now it's mine. Perfect for my jacket too! Now I can look like Tom Cruise!... sort of. My folks were in Miami this month and decided to surprise me. You should just know how expensive Fossil is here compared to the U.S! Now the look is complete! Muchas Gracias.

Karl proves my belief that Fashion doesn't need the luxury of a trust-fund (although I can see how that would help!). Thrift stores are great for finding fun pieces to add to a wardrobe. Everything he's wearing cost him next to nothing and it's a great look.

spring fashion
With Winter on the way out, it's time to put those thick cable knit jumpers into storage along with your coats, thick trousers and opaque tights... Spring is on the way, and along with it a selection of the latest new trends and fashions!
For Plus Size women, shopping is nowadays a pleasurable and enjoyable experience, with many high street, online and designer stores offering their fashion ranges up to sizes 20 and beyond, and with specialist clothing designers offering bespoke lines specifically designed to flatter larger figures and show off those curves!
The great thing about Spring fashion is that you can mix lighter items from your Winter wardrobe with key new items for the warmer weather. Try picking up a few key items which can form the basis of a flexible wardrobe. For example, you might wish to splash out on one of the trendy tea dresses or maxi dresses, and team it with one of your Winter cashmere knit cardigans with a belt at the waist to show off your waist. Or try teaming Winter trousers with a lighter top in this season's fresh colours - peach and corals are set to be big this Summer and flatter Winter pale complexions if worn correctly.
Nude colours are also huge this year and look fantastic layered on curvier figures. Team them up with strong statement jewellery pieces - larger figures can really carry off striking looks such as pendants and beads.
If prints are your thing, try dresses with bold aztec or folk prints. Choose well fitting items which skim your curves rather than swamp them. Show off dainty calves with pretty sandals and don't forget detailing - nude nailpolish gives a fresh clean look and well groomed shiny hair will never go out of fashion! Block colours are another key trend - great for tunic tops or longer dresses - and neon brights will look great when teamed with neutrals or deep colours - go for an item such as a top or scarf, rather than all over neon. Marks and Spencer has some great kaftans and tunic tops with the latest fashions such as embellishments, prints and new colours - as do Etam, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis and Debenhams - who also do great concessionary designer lines up to larger sizes.
Getting the foundations right are essential for voluptuous figures, so get properly measured for a well fitting bra - try stores such as Bravissimo which cater specially for larger busts. Control knickers also smooth out any lumps and bumps when wearing close fitting skirts, dresses or trousers.
Online stores such as Marisota are great if you prefer shopping from home. Their lines go up to sizes 32 and they do shoes in larger sizes and wide fits to finish off your new items. Simply Be is another great online plus size store and they currently have some great plus size dresses for Spring including Aztec maxi dresses, grecian ruffled spring dresses and nipped in waisted dresses for a nod to the 50s. You might also want to try 'Curvy Girl' - an online boutique selling the famous tummy tuck jeans which flatten your tummy and lift your behind for a truly knockout look!

fashion sketches
A sketch is made of overlapping lines, and it is an art of freehand drawing. Generally, sketches are used to save ideas that are used for a long time. It is very easy to make a sketch, and it saves lots of time rather than making an actual painting on a particular subject.
Generally, sketches are designed as applied arts in the field of engineering and fashion designing. Mostly, sketches are used to create graphics for any business purpose or to provide good looks to the object. In the field of fashion industry, fashion designers create sketches to develop latest styles of dresses. These sketches provide a better guideline about the final look of the products. You will usually see designers prefer dry painting media to prepare the sketches as it saves lots of time and effort. However, you will find many people who are using watercolor and clay to design sketches.
Sketch designers may use eraser frequently while designing a sketch. Erasers are very important in subtracting the extra lines and give attractive look to the image. Sketches are used generally for creative work that is done as an initial step of painting. It can be slightly different than the final product as sketches are only the rough work. They are always not as per an actual product, and they are often repetitive too.
Nowadays, if you are able to create sketches in a quick time it is the biggest benefit. Even the police department takes help from designers to create a quick sketch of criminal to find him out as quickly as possible. The sketches are very popular which were designed by famous artists Leonardo da Vinci and Edgar Degas. You will find many sketches that you can use for thoughtful studies and also the casual sketches designed by famous artists.

I know it's freezing cold in Cape Town but I still can't help but look at Sandals online. Even today, with Winter well upon us, it's Sunny outside, so while I won't be donning my pink swim trunks from Paul Smith, I can somewhere in jeans and sandals! These from Tim Hamilton are $550. Yikes, but still beautiful. If you're looking to buy yourself a pair (for me, of course) then go here!
