For the uninitiated: Sleepyheads, the leading online retailers of upscale nightwear and lingerie, has now shifted its focus from the celebrities to the commoners. So their range of Frankie & Johnny robes and pajamas now surpassed its former limits to respond to the present economic conditions, embracing the need factors rather than want.

It’s been just 72 hours that the new line of relaxed dressing from Sleepyheads got introduced and proved a feast for the shoppers who, till now, never quite indulged into shopping for being overly conscious on the price part. But then again, nothing apart from the price has been kept cheap in the new Sleepyheads line; the emphasis has – like always – been on the comfort and quality.

The secret lies in the heavy weight yet inexpensive, 100% knit Cotton, specially selected keeping in mind the present rough economy. The end result is a range of exceptional sleepwear under $35.

The line of sleepwear comes in a varied range of fun prints in vibrant colors; while there are the clouds and daisies for the women and kids, for men, things go even to the extent of the hammers and nails prints.

What’s going to be your print of choice?

A good percentage of men and women use umbrella accessories during the rainy days alone and after this they are forgotten until the heavy black clouds are noticed again. A few women among the big number of those who use umbrella during those wet days remember to accessorize it with their attires.

In Japan, a whiter skin is considered culturally clean and beautiful than brown except that the modern age in the country is reversing the trend.

Oscar Wilde, a noted novelist and critic, once quoted “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months”. Fashion is something that changes so often that one really needs to be awake and alert to keep pace with the dynamic nature of fashion trends. This is not the case with Style. Style is something that should be profound and should talk about the person. Style is eternal, but Fashion fades very easily. But how does fashion change so fast?

It’s an end of a long-term debate. We shun aside questions like whether the pearl holds a queenly status among the gems or is the gem meant only for the queens; gone are the days that made others speculate on whether something around someone’s neck is worth more than the wearer’s head. 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.

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. Read the rest of this entry »

Women who love wearing miniskirts do it to attract others attention to their feet for the sake of being cultured.

For a better casual look, sandals with some embellishments such as sequins and beading may help. Wedge sandals with block heels can very well emphasize beautiful legs when a woman is wearing a short skirt including the bohemian, espadrille, interwoven styles and those with straps she can wrap around her ankles. A peep-toed wedge sandal may be a bit comfort and stylish for casual skirt that a closed-toed. Read the rest of this entry »
