First, if you enjoyed wearing leggings this spring and summer, do not throw them away – leggings will be still in. You can combine them with skirts or wear them in place of the pants, and if you want to be really coll, buy a pair of print leggings. As for the skirts, forget about a mini – ideal autumn skirt is knee-length. The colours for fall 2009 stay the same – neutral shades like black, grey, beige and nude tones are traditionally accepted during the fall. But people who want to dazzle will wear trendy colours such as gold, burgundy, pink or scarlet.

Secondly, a lot of fashion designers have also introduced metallic and velvet dress in their collections. But if you are not courageous enough to wear such clothes, there are good news for you – the combination of black and white will propably be hot and trendy forever. Finally, don’t forget to buy some slim pants, a vest, a lot of scarves and a pair of thigh-high boots.

As for the make-up, women traditionally start to use foundation and powder again in autumn which helps to cover the imperfection of the skin. After the summer your skin is often in good condition, so put on a lightweight foundation in order to prepare your complexion for cold weather. For dark-haired women it is ideal to use dark eyeliners and chocolate, bronze or beige hues and blondes will look great if they put on pink or nude colours. Also don’t forget to choose darker shades of your blush.

So that’s it – now we can look forward to fall 2009!:-)

I meet plenty of handsome men and attractive women every day, but despite the fact they often read fashion magazines and gossip about celebrities’ outfits, many of them can combine ubelievable pieces of clothes. I know that many people would say that the style of clothes you wear don’t matter – that they are happy exactly the way they are. But imagine what we could achieve if we paid attention to our appearance! Everybody wants to look well and smart at work, impress people and feel confidently every day. If you feel comfortably in your clothes, your hair is OK and you don’t have to worry about your dress, you will look more confident, act more assertively and be able to deal with people without loosing your temper. So here are some useful advice:

2) Never wear things that are generally considered inappropriate – people judge you according to your outer appearance, unfortunately:-) These things include: socks in sandals, really huge gold jewellery, colour of hair that doesn’t match your skin tone and clothes, too much sunbathing, nice smart dress worn with dirty shoes, too much make-up and perfume, combining too many patterns/ colours together and so on…

3) But don’t forget to be yourself – nobody will like you even if you looked exactly like Madonna or Jennifer Aniston:-)

So I’m looking forward to your ideas and comments – what is the worst thing to wear? And do you experience in the streets of your town something I do?:-)

Mi Hyun Park have recently completed her BA study in Fashion Design at University in Korea and now she is presenting her MA collection of etheric and lovely womenswear which was influenced by French film, ‘Le Grand Bleu’. 

Mi Hyun would like to develop her own label, but at this time she will have to work hard to achieve commercial success. But from my point of view it is just a matter of time. For more information about this new fashion designer see her portfolio website.

If you don’t know much about this designer,  I looked up some information about his life, so here you can read a brief biography:

Ralp Lauren was born Ralph Rueben Lifshitz in Bronx. In order to earn some money, he used to sell ties to his clasmates and later he and his brother Jerry changed their name from Lifshitz to Lauren. He never attended a fashion school, but soon opened his first shop where he sold ties of his own design under the name “Polo”. His shop became really famous and Ralph Lauren began to design also own clothes and accesories. He managed to turn his apparel shop into a billion-dollar business. By 2007 Ralph Lauren ran over 35 boutiques in United States.

So if you are interested in Ralph Lauren’s clothes, have a look at his website www.ralphlauren.com and enjoy the summer sale:-)

Just do it!

This famous company was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Philip Knight and officially became Nike in 1978. Nike gained its success by selling sport apparel, equipment and Nike shoes (for instance Air Max or Dunk) became a true legend. If you are a sporty person or fond of simple but quality clothing, you should try Nike – sometimes you can find season markdowns or cheap shoes in e-shops which can almost everyone afford to buy.

More and more people also use NikeiD which means that you can create your own pair of shoes by picking the colours and materials you exactly want. So if you want to be original and wear a pair of shoes that nobody in the world has, this brand can offer you a lot of possibilities:-) Here you can look at some Nike T-shirts, shoes and other clothing – if you decide to buy something, there are plenty of e-shops on the internet where you can buy Nike products.
