CUFFED JEANS

Gingham gets a cool update with open necklines, colored backgrounds and skinny jean bottoms. Ashlee Simpson, Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Conrad have already caught on!

PURPLE DRESSES

Emmy Rossum, Blake Lively and Lindsay Lohan hit two of fall’s hottest trends – deep purple and wide-waist belts – in their slim, belted frocks.

BAGGY JEANS

Sick of skinny jeans or even your standard bootcut? Try super-baggy jeans – or just borrow a pair from your guy – like Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Women’s styles are diverse and so are the options for the latest accessories. There is something for every woman to have and to hold. The secret to today’s shopping is to buy wisely. Get real. Sift through the latest trends and base your pick list on that. Focus on what really works for you. Remember that before you can be successful at shopping and getting the most out of it, you must know your style. Only then will you be able to have perfect things to play around with in your wardrobe.

Accessories are defining a new level of sophistication. The big news is the return of elegance and refinement with all the ladylike trimmings that come with it – jewelry, hats, belts, bags, gloves, scarves and even pantyhose! Grown-up is back.

Women with real style veer away from strongly branded accessories. Style is more about understated luxury. Craftsmanship, quality and design are foremost on their minds. Now more than ever, it is more important to look out for accessories that will outlive fashion’s fancy. It is all about picking pieces that are timeless. Invest in items that will stand the test of time. It is the best approach to get optimum ROI in economic terms, return on investment. Or, for a die-hard shopper like me, a good excuse to continue to splurge despite the current anorexic economy. Seriously, you will get your money’s worth only if you buy wisely and carefully.

Know exactly what to purchase and what should be at the top of your shopping list. Buy something you really love — that way, you will definitely get the most out of it. Remember that the secret to making your look all your own is your choice of accessories. Take your pick and add a personal twist to your style. Take a look at the latest accessories and buy wisely and carefully.

Dress is what makes a lad appear like a true gentleman. The way a person dress has a telling effect into what kind of personality he has. The suit which a person wears represents his stylistic taste on various occasions. This is essentially the reason why most men are very choosy on the type of suit they are wearing. They impose certain criteria on the suits that they want to include in their closet collection. They place high premium on the style, color and cut of the suit.

More often than not, it is not unusual to see men wearing suit unfit to their personality and temperament. It is not exactly a case of ignorance on style but more of the lack of ability to harmonize certain elements of fashion that needs to be carefully considered when looking for a nice suit. Readily manufactured and purchased at the nearby clothing store, they have no other choice but to select the suit which they deemed best suits their style.

THE BULGARI ACCESSORIES collection for Spring/Summer 2008 is characterized by refined skins that are creased and curled to emulate the cuts of ancient precious stones.

The colors of this new collection have been borrowed from the magical Roman landscape, where the ultra-classical tones of African marble and the tufa Stone of ancient columns are illuminated by the sapphire blue skies and the coral reds of sunsets.

Louis Vuitton is Prefall 2008 Collection, meanwhile, offers luxe accessories of a similar persuasion-specifically handbags in jewel colors.
