New Fashion Trend - Vintage-Inspired Heels

It seems that nowadays, most fashion designers tend to find inspirations from the past. Thus, we can see the comeback of many fashion elements that once were rather popular in 80's or 60's. Also, there is no exception with shoes. If you look at your Mom's old wardrobe, it is not a surprise that you may find the similar styles of this season's hot vintage-inspired heels. Now let's see what attractive features you can find in these stylish heels.


Wide mid and high heels
Apparently, this kind of heels is rather comfortable to wear and walk. Wide mid and high heels always impress people with the 50's or 60's elegant fashion style. When you pair them with an umbrella skirt, which is also a kind of typical style from 50's and 60's, you will surely become the center of spotlights with great elegance and ease. Besides, you can also wear skinny jeans and jackets with such vintage heels to present a mixed modern chic style.
Wedge heels
In fact, there is no need to talk about the popularity of wedge heels any more, since almost every fashion conscious woman has already walked in wedges to make their style statement. However, the kind of heels is so hot right now that I can't just let it go without saying any words. It is amazing to pair them with flares and skinny jeans. Today's designs of wedge heels have been incorporated with more modern details, such as buckles, rivets, zippers and animal print. You can always easily create a chic and trendy style with a pair of wedge heels.
If you are careful enough, you will find many wonderful design details of those trendy shoes are inspired from the so-called outdated fashion styles. When you mix the vintage-inspired heels with bits from the chic and edgy modern collections, you will stand out in the crowd effortlessly.

Discover 2007's New Fashion Style

Every year around this time all the Glam and Style magazines are a buzz as to what the designers unveiled at "fashion week". 2007 seems to be no exception, as women everywhere want to know what fabrics, textures, colors and accessories are hot. Although spring has just begun, this article will discuss the new fashion styles already exploding on the scene.


With so many fashion designers out there, they don't always seem to agree on all the new fashion styles presented on the runway. One thing they do agree on is the "preppy/prissy look". To achieve this look, wear an Oxford shirt with either a tennis skirt (Yes! They are back in style) or a mini skirt (but not too MINI, so where as each step you take reveals what God gave you). If you really want to achieve this look, add a color coordinated tailored blazer. Topping the look off with a pair of strappy or chuncky sandals. For the more athletic look, wear a bright colored tank tee with a fresh pair of cool sneakers.
Another unanimous inclusion to this year's fashion style is embellishment. Done the wrong way and embellished clothing spells DISASTER. The way to avoid this is by finding monochromatic pieces. This meaning clothing with diamond studs, beads, etcetera with a single color. Favorites the designers love are silver, copper and bronze. Most popular are the blouses or dresses adorned with crystals, beads or even edgy studs that move freely and flow fashionably on the body. When you find a blouse or a dress that is simply "to die for", go for the total "glam look" by adding a pair of strappy or chunky high heels and a matching handbag.
Patent leather has resurfaced as another hot material. It's popping up on more than just accessories this season. You can find patent leather coats, skirts, purses and shoes. The "new patent leather" gives a boost of high gloss finish anywhere it presents itself. However, you must keep in mind to make sure to keep it simple when wearing this material, so not to have it clash with other textures that are also on the scene.
Finally, the finishing touch....accessories. Statement jewels are all the rave this season. Showing up on everyone who is anyone, from New York, NY to Milan. Bangles on one or both wrists will make any ensemble you put on, sizzle with pizazz! (Most designers recommend gold, it never goes out of style) If bangles aren't for you, you may feel more comfortable in a big bold necklace with matching earrings (something with spring colors that compliment what you are wearing). Embellished handbags are always a bonus.
These are just SOME of the new fashion styles hitting all major and minor department stores worldwide. With all the different designers, styles, prints, textures and colors, it's enough to have you feeling overwhelmed. With a little time and practice, you be able to pick out the perfect ensemble and accessories in an instant! A guarantee to feel as beautiful as you will look!!

New Fashion Eyewear Releases for Spring Time

Every year, spring and fall marks the release date of new fashion trends for the year are released by most fashion houses in the industry. Well, the industry for eyewear and sunwear are no different; I just spent several days in New York City viewing hundreds upon hundreds of new releases of eyeglasses and sunglasses. The trend for this year seems to be the larger and more eclectic designs. Larger and bolder plastics for both men and women are the focus for the year in question.


The most recent recession not only affected everyone's bottom line, but it also made the eyewear fashion houses redesign their styles that reflected the downturn in the economy. For the new ladies styles, plastic frames are still the industry standard for luxury but they are no longer embedded with glitz and bling. Fun and funky is now the focus of the ladies fashion eyewear industry and the vehicle they are using to convey that message is bolder and more vibrant colors. You will also see more frames in larger sizes. New sunglasses will have a flair for the late 1980's style with metal inlays on the frame and temple replacing the blingadge from before. Large and bulbous is the new name of the game
Fashion trends for men this year still remain much the same as last year. Bold plastic frames still remain at the top of the charts; chic geek, Clark Kent, chic nerd, Drew Carey, Weezer, retro, and old school are all the acceptable descriptive terms for this look that still dominates the mens eyewear designs for this year.
New luxury designers have arrived on the scene this year have made a big splash. Don't start pulling out your credit card just yet. These new designers incorporate precious metals such as solid gold, platinum, buffalo horn, and sterling silver as their materials of manufacturing choices; price points can start as little as a thousand dollars and go as high as four thousand dollars.
So now, let's recap the new spring styles. The new trends and styles for women are bold colors and larger sizes while men's fashion remains the same as before. New women's sunglasses are the retro nuveau from the 1980's with bold colors. These new arrivals are slated to ship within a month or two so make an appointment with your optical professional to see what your new look can be.

Men's New Fashion Trends

It's always great to mix trendy pieces with more classic looks to give you the perfect look that always looks up-to-date. Color is big for men this season (I love colored interesting shirts of all kinds), as are relaxed chic looks (like relaxed suits), etc
Accessories that are hot are really simple: well kept shoes. It's one of the first things people notice, so always make sure the shoes are right and clean. Here's something I like to do. Instead of looking at celebs, I check out various magazines and advertising and check out different looks I like (for You GQ, Cargo) and then get shopping!


If you are wondering why some of today's most sophisticated men's stores - Polo Ralph Lauren, Bergdorf Goodman Men, Barneys New York - are stocked with enough hard-core color to resemble the team uniform section of a sporting goods shop, well, perhaps that's fitting. Color has become practically a contact sport.
Mens wear Bright New Look In the last few seasons, many men have developed a major passion for sharply tailored suits and brightly patterned dress shirts, snapping up $200 Etros by the half-dozen. But this spring, in the eternal game of one-upmanship known as fashion, the look has been taken to a new extreme. Solidly colored pants, sweaters and blazers - in tangerine, lemon, viridian, magenta, royal blue - have raised the stakes, and some men are, to retailers' surprise, taking the bet.
Retailers report that traditional two-button cotton sport coats and pinwale corduroys struck by a lightning bolt of color have become some of the hottest sellers of the season. And in a rare meeting of minds, old-school retailers like Paul Stuart are sharing a design aesthetic with edge-of-fashion lines like Burberry Prorsum and Duckier Brown.
"The first thing that blew out of Barneys was all the color," said Daniel Silver, a partner in Duckier Brown. "When we were designing it we were thinking: 'It's so bright. Are guys really going to buy this?' But they have. It's like someone knocked down the wall between his and hers closets."
The trend has obvious appeal to men who want an easy new way to express a bold streak. But it has an august precedent as well, in the late, great NBC peacock, Johnny Carson. In 1973, when country clubs swarmed with pants and blazers of every hue, Carson's own fashion line was the best-selling men's tailored clothing line in the country, according to Homi Patel, the chief executive of Hartmarx, which owns the line. In 1973 alone, 80,000 electric blue sport coats (with five-inch lapels!) were sold.
Unlike many looks with roots in the past, this one is a study in jarring contrasts. It has both the edge and cheek of early 80's New York, when Day-Glo color fueled the New Wave scene, and the ease and entitlement of an early 70's Republican enclave in Palm Springs.
"The roots are in that country club thing," said Joe Zee, the editor of the men's wear magazine Vitals. "The edge is in its conservative aspect." Striped shirts and plaid jackets can play into a conservative look, but solid colors, Mr. Zee suggested, are bolder. "Men are more used to pattern," he said. "So a pink striped shirt is easier for a lot of guys than an all-pink shirt. That's a more specific fashion statement."
No sector has taken up the call to color more than the hip-hop world, in which dandies like Usher, Farnsworth Bentley and Andre 3000 of OutKast (hard at work on a fashion line called Benjamin) will wear, and combine, the splashiest of colors. "You have urban rappers from Nelly to Puffy saying, 'I can wear this without being a sissy,' " Mr. Zee said.
Chris Chambers, a dapper vice president for publicity at BMG Music, feels the pull. "There's definitely a mixture of an urban thing with classic country club." he said. "I'll wear the pink Ralph Lauren blazer but maybe not with the white slacks they show. I'll wear it with some Evisu jeans and a cool sneaker."
Still, it takes guts. "I think a solid bold color looks fresh, but you have to have a level of confidence for it," Mr. Chambers said. What makes the look less brash and more appealing, he said, is its history as the onetime uniform of 19th-hole golfers everywhere.
Ross Geisel, a Manhattan fund-raiser, has taken a shine to color because of its associations with a life of gentlemanly ease. "I can get away with wearing it to work, and then if you go out afterward, you don't look like you came from the office," Mr. Geisel said.
Another reason he likes extreme color is that there are so few rules about wearing it. That, he maintains, makes it easier, not harder to dress. "It doesn't matter what you do," he said. "I have a loud pink shirt on today with a corduroy chocolate brown blazer. I can wear it spring, summer or fall, with any shoe I want."
Even with his outlaw attitude, he said the style reminds him of his father's country-club clothes. But the concept of Johnny Carson as a symbol of style is lost on him. "All I remember is Carnac," he said.
