Tired of spending too much money on the latest shoe trends? There are basic styles of shoes that are in style every year. If you purchase these basic shoes, you will be fashionable year after year and can save money by not buying the latest trends.

Basic 1-2 inch pumps
A neutral basic pump works very well at the office or a night out on the town. Basic pumps can get you through the warm weather as well as the cold weather. When shopping for a pump, look for a plain one with a one to two inch heel in black, brown, or tan. You will be surprised how many times you will be wearing them.

Black Knee High Boots
Treat your self to a pair of knee high boots, which are perfect for the fall and winter seasons. Knee high boots look great with longer and medium length skirts and dresses. You can put them under pants and crop pants for a fall look. Or, you can put them over your pants for a trendy riding boot look. When choosing knee high boots, you want black ones with 2 to 4 inch heels. Look for boots that are plain with very little embellishments, so you can get more wear out of them.

Essential Flats
Flats are great for women who dont want to wear high heels, and they look great with casual skirts, dresses, and jeans. You can also wear them to the office under a nice pair of slacks or skirt. Before you purchase flats, make sure they are plain with very few embellishments. You can stick to the basic black, brown, or tan, or expand your neutrals to a gold or silver.

Classic White Sneakers
Sneakers are comfortable shoes that you can exercise, complete your errands, finish your household work, etc. Sneakers are perfect with casual pants, jeans, and shorts. Sometimes, you can even wear them with casual dresses or skirts. When shopping for sneakers, look for a classic sneaker that fits well. Always try on your sneakers and walk around with them before you start any vigorous activity. If the treads at the bottom of your sneakers are worn, its time for a new pair.

Strappy Evening Heels
Every girls best friend is a pair of open toe, strappy evening heels. Evening shoes can be really uncomfortable to wear at times, so make sure you get a pair of comfortable evening shoes. This way, you would not become the woman walking around without shoes or being carried to your destination. Look for evening shoes that will match the majority of your dressy outfits. If you wear more black to formal events, then you definitely want black shoes. However if this is not the case, brown or tan shoes would be fine.

Fun Sandals
Sandals are great for hot days and can be worn to picnic, barbeques, vacation or the beach. You can wear anything with sandals from swimsuits to a pair of jeans. When you look for new sandals, you want a classic thong since it never has gone out of style. Look for your sandal in black or neutral colors, so you can wear them with anything.

Do you need that one perfect pear of shoes that you can wear to your prom this spring? How do you pick the right shoes for your prom, though? What should you look for in those perfect prom shoes? And what should you avoid? Here are some tips for you to buy those perfect prom shoes:

- Look for prom shoes that you are comfortable in. It does not matter how cute those prom shoes look C if you cant walk then two steps in them, you will not be comfortable during your prom. Remember, you need to be able to move and to dance during the prom, so if you cant do that in your prom shoes, you will not be having any fun. Pick cute shoes that you are comfortable in.

To ensure you are comfortable in the shoes you picked, make sure you try them on at the store. If you are shopping online for prom shoes, make sure you find the correct size you need. Make sure to check with the web site's measurements, to make sure that the size you are getting is actually your size.

- If you are buying very expensive prom shoes, make sure that you will be able to wear them after the prom, with your other clothes. If you are spending too much money on the prom shoes, make sure you can wear them more then once. Make sure you purchase versatile shoes, that will match with different outfits you have.

The best colors for shoes that will match with many things are black, brown, grey and white.

- Look for prom shoes that match the rest of your outfit. What can be worse then buying the prom shoes that you love, only to find out later that they are the wrong shade and dont match your prom dress that well?

The best thing to do in this case is to have your prom dress with you when you are shopping for shoes. If this is not realistic, you may want to have a picture of the dress with you. While the pictures might not reflect the shade of the dress exactly right, it might still help you pick the correct pair of prom shoes.

- You should also not buy shoes that are extremely trendy, if you want to continue to wear them for a year or two. While they are really hot right now, and they might look great for the prom, they will be out of style really fast. Instead, spend the money on the shoes that can be worn a few seasons.

Looking for great looking shoes for your prom? Remember to pick the shoes that you are comfortable in, shoes that really match the rest of your prom outfit and shoes that are stylish.

I remember when I used to believe that a purse was just a container to make it easier for women to carry all those necessities we feel we must have with us at all times C you know what I mean, the obvious items C wallet, checkbook, comb, brushthen theres the add-ons C the make-up bag (just the essential items needed for quick touch-ups C foundation, cover-up, mascara, lip liner, lipstick, eye lash curlers, tweezers, 15 shades of eye shadow..the necessities), the travel size hair spray, 5 containers of creams, curling iron, Kleenex, washcloth, spare pair of panty hose, cell phone, organizer.

I could go on Im sure but I think most of you women are nodding your heads and laughing along with me at this point.

Recently I was enlightened to the fact that a purse is meant to be so much more! Did you know a purse cannot only enhance your outfit, but can also flatter your body? I know!! I couldnt believe it either!

Here are some of the tips I have come across on how to pick a bag that is going to flatter your body:

You can flatter you body by choosing a bag with a shape that is the opposite of your body type. If you are of the tall and thin variety a larger rounded, slouchy bag would best complement your look. If you are short and curvy a taller or rectangular shaped bag would be a great choice.

The general tips are that the rounder your body type, the more structured shape bag would be the best complement to your figure. This does not suggest that you carry a perfectly square, hard box style of bag C just think along the lines of a more structured shape.

Now, when it comes to the size of your bag, you should pick one more on proportion to your body rather than the opposite. If you are on the petite side you dont want to be overshadowed by your bag, so stay on the small to medium size rather than the large slouchy style of bags.

Purses come in so many sizes and shapes now that you will have no problem finding one that suits not only your needs, but complements your figure and style.

At Bagz Beltz and Beyond we carry a huge selection of bags, purses, handbags and totes. We have small, structured clutches, medium sized structured handbags and hobos, as well as a great selection of large hobo, tote and messenger bags. You will have no problem finding the perfect shape and size for you! Your only problem will be which one to choose and what color. Remember, bags do not have to match your shoes!

The Hewitt & May 7-Point Ironing Plan

Begin with a well-laundered, damp shirt. For best results, cotton fabric should be almost wet. If necessary, spray the shirt with water, roll it into a ball, and keep it wrapped in a towel for a few minutes. Try using spray sizing instead of starch C youll end up with a shirt that is neat but not stiff. Allow the sizing to be absorbed into the fibres for a couple of minutes before ironing.

Make sure you've removed the collar bones.

Using a heavy iron on a temperature and an ironing board with a terry cover, start with the cuffs. Fold the cuff in half, line up the cufflink holes and iron a crisp crease along the fold.

Iron the sleeves next. Carefully spread one sleeve on the ironing board, smoothing out any creases. Starting at the top of the sleeve, iron from the bottom seam towards the top, making a definite crease along the top seam. As you get down to the cuff, carefully iron between the folds of material. Repeat this process on the other side of the sleeve.

Fit the shirt smoothly over the end of the board and iron the yoke. Iron in sections working your way down while using your hand to straighten the fabric.

Next, iron the front panels. Position the shirt so that the tip of the ironing board fits into the top of the armhole and iron the seam. Then iron the rest of the front of the shirtfront in sections, smoothing the fabric across the ironing board. Be sure to iron between each of the buttons. Repeat on the other side.

Finally, iron the collar. Spray first with a little sizing, pull it straight and iron each side. Fold the collar down with care, and iron again along the seam.

There are many fashion mistakes here we will outline 10 of the most common ones.

Many of the mistakes are made simply because women want to follow every fashion and of course, every trend does not suit everyone.

Anyone can present a stylish, classic, chic and fashionable look, but first lets look at 10 common fashion mistakes which you should definitely avoid.

1. Your clothes are not the right size.

Wearing baggy clothes will simply make you look fatter and so do clothes that are too small they simply highlight bulges and can make you look un appealing and stupid.

Buy the size you truly are and not the size you would like to be.

2. Wrinkled Garments

A great suit or dress needs to be wrinkle-free and ironed for you to look your best, buy clothes that are easy to care for and don't wrinkle easily, if you dont have much time.

3. Fashion trends that dont suit you.

Keep in mind your figure and age and only wear items you look good in and not just something because it looks great on someone else.

Face the reality!

For example, if short skirts are the latest fashion trend in womens clothing and you dont have great legs pass it by.
There are numerous fashions and stylish looks and there is one to suit you C You dont have to follow every fashion because you have seen a celebrity wear it or seen it a fashion show C Be sensible!

4. Showing bra & panty lines.

Wear proper fitting undergarments.

If they do fit you correctly and you can see lines, then your clothes are simply too tight.

Dont wear any dress size that is too small, you are simply deceiving yourself about your true size.
Keep your bra straps properly adjusted so they're not visible

If your jeans and trousers are low-rise, your panties should be too although it has become fashionable to show your panties, this look wont last.

6. Wearing skirts that are simply to short

Dont wear a skirt or dress that is too short.

Make sure you can sit, walk and dance without exposing knickers C Sure there is nothing wrong with short skirts that make you look sexy but there is a big difference between being sexy and simply looking tacky.

7. Too many Colors.

A common fashion mistake is using too many colors.

As a general rule wear up to a maximum of three, to be easy on the eye. Too many colors simply will make you look a mess and look like you dont have any idea of co ordination.

8. Too many prints.

Don't try to mix and match prints as it will have a similar effect to the above.

Patterns don't look good on all women.

If you're one of those people that look great in most clothes, choose a pattern on the top or bottom but not in both areas.

Keep in mind with womens style with colors and prints less is definitely more.

9. Using accessories in correctly.

Finish off with accessories by all means but again less is more. There accessories and should not

overpower and highlight your good points.

For example with necklaces - Short chains and chokers tend to make your neck appear larger, so dont do it if this is a an area you dont want to draw attention to.

If you are going out in evening wear make sure your handbag is sleek, sharp and small a big bag with typical evening wear simply does not go!

Use accessories that match you look and also be careful they highlight good points and dont draw attention to bad points.

10. Clothing & Shoes
As a general rule keep your clothing and shoes the same color.

The only exception is with black which goes with just about everything

Don't ever make the mistake of matching light and dark colors, for example dark clothes and light shoes.

Many of the above fashion looks are obvious and some may not be but they are made frequently by many women and this is mainly due to them being either slaves to fashion and not accepting their age or dress size.

In part 2 we will look at fashions and clothes that will look good on anyone, but for now the above 10 looks should be avoided at all costs.

If you are looking for a large yet trendy bag, you may want to have a look at these companies:-

Chloe - Chloe has been around for a long time (since 1952) and has this canny ability to produce ranges of handbags which have women drooling C including celebs. A lot of handbags on the market just aren't practical C they can barely hold a single lipstick never mind all our other essential accessories. This is probably why the Chloe Paddington bags are often seen on the arm of a celebrity in the glossy mags.

Kate Spade C When Kate left college in 1986 she joined mademoiselle magazine and left in 1991 as senior fashion editor/head of accessories. Frustrated by the lack of fashionable yet practical bags she set out design her own. Since launching her range of "Kate Spade Handbags" in 1996 she has won many awards for her designs.

If you felt before a bit of a frump for carrying around a large handbag then you really needn't. Ditch your old bag and get a new one. There are a lot of styles which are very popular, even if you don't go for a designer brand. Search the internet for hobo, satchels, shoulder bags, totes, plus you can even get the most amazing array of diaper bag for fashionable mums.

Any mom or mom-to-be would love to spend fond hours thinking about how to deck up their little princesses in the most charming of outfits and make them stand out in the crowd. Such is the pleasure in having a baby girl and the little unparalleled joys of having her at the center of your world. Keeping in mind such super delicate feelings and the superb baby dolls, girls fashion has taken a leap forward in todays time, with numerous cool designer brands packing the scene to make a place in every closet.

Fashion has always been an exciting factor for everyone, but it is a tad more impressive and adorable when it comes to draping those little angels. Be it the layettes, dresses, shirts, sweaters, onesies, frog suits, skirts, pants or jumpers, there is a fashion rolling for each and in every shop or boutique. You just need to know whats best and hot for your darling daughter, niece or granddaughter and whats not. So here are some essential pointers to buying baby-gears for the girl child you love so dearly.

1. Comfort: No matter how gorgeous the dress is or how stunning you think your little one would look in that, forget a dress if it is not comfortable enough for an infant or toddler. To make the dresses look cute, designers often give accents to these that can be bothersome to the child. So carefulno itchy tags, tight elastics, scratchy laces or stifling neckline. And keep the seasonality factor in mind as wellno layered dresses in summer, save the satins for winter, pastels for spring and so on.



2. Handiness: Your baby girl may invite hugs and cuddles in one oh-so-pretty dress and you may take pride in that too, but imagine if changing diapers in that dress is harder than putting it on, you might just not like your little darling to wear it anymore, would you? Therefore, buy clothes which are easy to put on or take off for her.



3. Perfect fit: Fitting is of significant import to any dressbe it a boutique girls clothing or any ordinary home-stitched fashion frock. Many boutiques today sell unique mix-n-match colors and fabrics for those teeny-weeny dolls, but you must remember that sizing is more important than style. The choky tees or skinny jeans may be a huge letdown for the plus-sized young one or a flowing unmanageable frilly jumper may increase chances of a free fall for your petite toddler. In either case, consider twice.



4. Personality match: As much essential as matching size, is matching the dress with the personality of your girl. If your infant or toddler girl is bubbly and restless, let the colors speak for her. Choose bright and vibrant shades of bloomers or wrap tees. And if your little princess is restfully quiet, the floral pastels would be right compliments to her personality.

When women want to get peoples attention on the beach, they usually wear bikinis.
Bikinis or two-pieces are a type of womens swimsuit that has two separate parts. One part covers the breasts while the other part covers the groin. There is an uncovered area of skin between the two parts. The shapes of the two parts usually look womens underwear. The lower parts of bikinis can range from thongs or g-strings to the more modest modest square-cut shorts.
Bikinis have been worn by women for sports as seen on Greek urns and paintings, dated as early as 1400 BC.
Modern bikinis were invented by a French engineer named Louis Reared and a fashion designer named Jacque Heim in Paris in 1946. They presented their new invention at a fashion show on July 5 1946 at the Piscine Molitor in Paris. They were bikinis with g-string backs. They were named after the Bikini Atoll. The Bikini Atoll is in the Pacific and is one of the islands that make up the Marshall Islands. A few days before the fashion, they were site of a nuclear weapon tests. The reaction to these bikinis was as strong as a nuclear bomb.
It should be noted that women in Paris were wearing something like bikinis before the French engineer and French fashion designer invented them. You could see pictures of women wearing bikinis in the July 16, 1945 issue of Life. The article accompanying the photos called them French bathing suits. They couldnt be called bikinis yet because the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests had not happened yet. Despite not having the name yet, the Parisian women in the photos clearly wearing bikinis in the same style and coverage that bikinis usually have.
