What is the worst thing people still try to wear? And what would you never put on? I was asking these questions silently when I saw a quite handsome young man wearing socks in his sandals. And again when I approached an elderly woman in long summer dress with pink floral pattern, a red handbag and blue hair. Her hair really had a bluish tinge. And she was around sixty. Tell me, does such things happen abroad too, or just in my country? Read the rest of this entry »

Barbie doll is celebrating the 50th anniversary. Unfortunately. From my point of view, this terrible doll should have been banned many years ago but it sells so much money that no company wants to turn its profit down. Read the rest of this entry »
A lot of fashion websites are nowadays concerned with “the hottest trends” for summer 2009 so I felt a little obliged to write something about it.

If you are not fond of stiletto heels and prefer to wear something more comfortable, you should try sneakers – and in this case the more colourful, the better:-) One of the most popular company that sells sneakers is Converse which was founded in 1908 by Marquis M. Converse.
This is what I really hate: stereotypes about beauty and emaciated models in today’s magazines and advertisements. Do you really think that men like women so thin that you can see bones under their skin? I don’t really know why we do such terrible things to ourselves. Being a woman is wonderful and I can’t understand why almost everyone of us want to lose weight, needs to buy expensive make-up and stop eating “normal” food.
We should never really forget to write about Nike although fan sites and e-shops with its products are spreading round the world. As a matter of fact, why is Nike such a famous brand? The reason might intervene in their succesful history or new innovative materials and technologies; but the fact is that there always have to be hard work and patience. Read the rest of this entry »
Today I was browsing the web in order to find some new collections of handbags and I chanced upon a fashion brand called Balenciaga, which sells apparel as well as accessories and shoes. This clothing brand was founded by a Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga who opened his first boutigue in 1914 and his early collection soon expanded to Madrid and Barcelona.
There are so many things that shouldn’t be worn at all:-) You have certainly seen many examples of a bad choice of clothes or makeup just walking down the streets of your city or meeting people at work – some people seem not to have seen themselves in the mirror for some time.
I can’t say whether there are countries where people dress more properly than somewhere else – I have always heard about a stereotypical image that French and Italians are more interested in fashion and their image more than Americans or Germans. But I can’t agree with that – each of us is an individual and I believe that we can find a nicely dressed person in every part of the world.
So there are some things people should pay attention to when they are about to leave their house:-)
Hi, I would like to welcome you on my new website Fashio. My name is Lenka and I have been writing about fashion and lifestyle for some time, so I decided to create my own blog to share my knowledge and attitudes about design, clothes, style and many other things.
I want my blog to be different in many ways – as I have been writing for online magazines I found plenty of websites which dissapointed me a bit. All of them “forced” people to buy certain type of clothes, drove attention only to famous apparel brands and wrote about “attractive” emaciated models. On the other hand, I would like to support people’s individuality, analyse how we are able to gain self-confidence by wearing certain clothes and colours and highlight that beauty can have hundreds of different meanings.
So I hope that you will enjoy reading about fashion and lifestyle from a little different point of view and find some useful tips here.
