SHOES

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Considered to be the most highlighting part of a person’s wardrobe, shoes are not something that can be ignored by a person willing to be dressed with elegance. Proper shoes add completeness to a person’s appearance. When it comes to choice, options are just unending. Shoes of various shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, materials and price ranges are available in the market. Also if you are one of those ‘brand-conscious’ people, there are innumerable brands, Reebok, Adidas, Red-tape, Caterpillar, to name a few.

shhhh
The concept of ‘Designer shoes’ is what the latest trend in the shoe-market is. By ‘Designer shoes’ means shoes designed by professional shoe designers and fashion companies. These are highly glamorous shoes and it’s a prestige to own such kind of pair of shoes. Mostly owned by celebrities, such kinds of shoes are also getting popular among the masses. More and more people are queuing up in designer showrooms to get a pair for them.

There are shoes available for all occasions and events. Formal shoes for office, casual shoes for college-goers, sports shoes for athletes, lustrous designer shoes for parties are some of the categories. (more…)

Today’s jewellery has long left the confinement of precious and semi-precious gems and metals as finely crafted as the rifling inside a barrel; the modern trend (and trade) has rendered jewellery into something chunkier that goes well with women’s regular western wear. Semi-precious gems have made a comeback (especially turquoise, jasper, jade or tiger’s eye) and almost everybody today sports that strong, Southwestern look, though serious mistakes in the current fashion are also a prevailing thing. The first, definitely is overdoing things; a piece of chunky jewellery is meant for complimenting a western outfit and not the other way round. If it draws attention away from the wearer’s features or clothes, it is a flop. It will then look, gross! Following the latest fashion trends is not always beneficial and fashion, contrary to the practices by consumerism, is never a one size fits all strategy. (more…)
