Do you want to dress well like a celebrity but don’t have deep pockets? Great, then here are some tips for you to take a quick look at:

* First of all, know your own figure and your own style. Don’t follow trends that don’t suit you. Most clothes look great on models like Kate Moss, but don’t look as good on us normal women! Remember how many items you bought on impulse last season? And you did not even wear them!

* Look at your closet and make a list of things you already have and you really want to keep. Then make a list of the things that you really want and do you have. Buying from a list will keep you focused and minimise costly impulse buying.

* Buy the best quality of clothes and accessories that you can afford. They’ll simply look better, last longer, wear less, wash better and as a result, you will save more money than buying lots of inferior-quality pieces that will only last a few wears.

* For big items like suits, dresses, coats: buy classic styles. These will stand the test of time and not date as much as clothes bought from the latest trends. Whereas for small items like bags and accessories, buy the most trendy, fashionable ones so you look up to date and go for the brightest colours (they will not make you look fat!).

* Buy on sale whenever possible. You can grab the same piece for half or even less money just a few months after the celebs. Nobody will tell you that ‘it’s out of fashion’, just for a few months. You can grab yourself some really good bargains on the last few days’ of the sales in famous shops like Harrods and Harvey Nichols. And buy online, on Ebay if you are Internet Savvy.

* Swap small items like hats and bags with your best friends (of course, those with good taste only). There is no point in spending a lot of money on something you are only going to use once (Well, it will be embarrassing if you wear the same clothes to your important parties). So share them with your friends.

Ladies, dressing well doesn’t have to cost a fortune. If you take a little time and a bit of thought to plan for your need, and treat buying your clothes like an investment.

What is it that imbues one handbag with timeless quality, while others are dated after a single season? Expert craftsmanship plays a large part in this phenomenon, as do forward-thinking, though traditionally rooted, designs. Classic handbags are rule-breakers (despite being informed by carefully studied rules), that may be worn by successfully by each woman in her own distinct way, whether she is 18 or 80. Ultimately however, it is a certain je ne sais quoi that catapults a handbag from “accessory” to “legend”. The Hermes Birkin, the Louis Vuitton Speedy, the Marc Jacobs Stella and the Chanel 5.55 shot from the 20th century poised to stay relevant, respected and revered throughout the 21st. Close on their tails are the nine handbags profiled below. All have what it takes to catch up to those Grande Dames of accessories, and perhaps even outshine their legends.

The Novak by Alexander McQueen - $1,200

This expertly constructed purse resembles a decadent shell, its hard exterior conveying strength, power and mystery: Does her Novak hold a subpoena or is it hiding expensive French lingerie? Only the wearer knows for sure. McQueen’s Novak is a classic take-anywhere handbag for any haughty, icy, femme fatale (or for anyone who harbors one within and seeks to offer the world a subtle glimpse of her).

The L’Orient Ariane by Kate Spade - $195

Reminiscent of Chanel’s legendary 5.55, Kate Spade’s L’Orient Ariane brings American insouciance to the sophisticated continental shoulder bag. Whether you are seeking to add a glamorous accent a serious suit, or a dash of grandeur to your favorite jeans and tee, the L’Orient Ariane is a handbag for every occasion. Available in a variety of shades from “Luxuriant Black” to “Feminine Fuchsia” to “Whimsical Watermelon”, at only $195 each, you can practically purchase one in every color, for the price of a single 5.55.

The Nicole Carryall by A+N - $185

The “love child” of LL Bean and Prada, A+N’s Nicole Carryall expertly combines New England utilitarianism with European sleekness. This bag is a must-have for the everywoman in every woman. The Nicole Carryall’s functionality lends itself well to the schedule of the modern woman: careerist, athlete, social butterfly, adventuress and glamour-puss, rolled into one. As designer Anna Medvedeva says: “We are not trying to create the new “It Bag” of the moment, nor are we trying to catch ever-changing fashion trends. Instead, we work on creating the ultimate everyday bags so versatile, that everyone can bring her their own style to them.” Made from weatherproof nylon canvas, in a trend-defying design, the Nicole Carryall transcends not only time, but also the elements, in functionally decadent fashion.

The Large Saddle Bag by Andrea Brueckner - $525

The woven leather of Andrea Brueckner’s Large Saddle Bag carries a whiff of “I picked this up in the Mediterranean” artisanal exoticism, while its embossed sheen provides a patina of urbane polish. At first glance, the Saddle Bag may appear to be the gregarious grandchild of the Bottega Veneta hobo, but closer inspection reveals that it is a true original: With painstaking attention to detail, designer Brueckner has created lightness from suppleness, airiness from the earthly. This is anything but your average handbag – don it and you’ll be sure to encounter a chorus inquiring “where’d you get that bag?!”

The Roxanne by Mulberry – ₤595

The ultimate in hippie luxe, Mulberry’s Roxanne conjures imagery of well-heeled bohemian icons Talitha Getty and Marissa Berenson. Embodying both uptown pedigree and downtown street credibility, the Roxanne, like all natural beauties, only gets better with age. This is the perfect day bag for the woman who is more inclined to choose Masai beads over diamonds, to pair with her little black dress.

The Maya Tote by Kooba - $655

“The Maya bag is for a classy working woman who is fashion conscious and knows how to make a smart handbag investment.” says Shopbop.com buyer Alle Fister. This supple, statement bag is not for the faint of style, but it is the perfect everyday handbag for the particularly fashion-forward. A graduate of the Marc Jacobs School of Understated Opulence, the Maya Tote oozes style without screaming “look at me”. Kooba spokesperson Katie Fox says: “Kooba has combined functionality with style, making it easy for the modern woman to keep herself organized with plentiful pocket room.” This is the perfect bag for the downtown girl, with a sensible, suburban past: its large size accommodates well-organized efficiency, but the design is all cosmopolitan cool. It’s the bag for hip girls who have successfully transitioned from being “restless in Raleigh” to “chic in the city”.

The Metal Mesh Ruffle Clutch by Felix Rey - $196

This isn’t your grandma’s evening bag! Felix Rey’s youthful alternative to the dowager-favored minaudiere comes in three shimmering, metallic shades to accentuate every outfit, and highlight every skin tone. The Ruffle Metal Clutch is everything an evening bag should be: small, sparkling and with a sense of humor. Felix Rey designers Sulaika Zarrouk and Lily Rafii have carefully created a bag with “hanging ruffles [that] move and catch the light, which creates an almost liquid effect”. Both designers are long-time fans of metallics and evening bags, and says Zarrouk, they sought to create “a more modern shape with this classic material.” Hold it as a clutch or utilize its small handle for extra “security”. This is the perfect bag for the charming, bubbly party girl inside of us all.

The Fan Hobo by Botkier

The Fan Hobo epitomizes understated luxury. It’s ideal for the woman who prefers to speak through her presence, rather than her accessories. It’s ideal for the woman who is most comfortable in cashmere and pearls. It’s ideal for the woman who knows that although one may not be a fashion risk-taker, she can still cultivate her own unique personal style. Reminiscent of Gucci’s classic Medium Hobo, the Fan Hobo is always appropriate and will always exude subtle elegance.

The Tote by Bulga - $405

So, you’ve finally realized that your “Hello Kitty” handbag has to go and you should move onto something more grown up, have you? Enter Bulga’s tote to the rescue! While the silhouette of the handbag says “adult”, the playful, rainbow-like crescent and dangling tassel add playful elements. It’s a must-have for any woman who is committed to celebrating the little girl within.

I love to buy shoes but I hate to shop for them.

Driving and walking from store to store can be
exhausting. In fact, most neighborhood shoe stores
carry limited styles, fashions and sizes, so I often
come home tired, discouraged and empty handed.

So it’s no wonder that the internet has become
my choice for shoe shopping. Try finding a
size 10, double narrow pink pump with a 2 inch heel
at your local shoe store. You may have to shop
around awhile.

On the other hand, a few keystrokes on your computer
will find your desired item and find you the best price.
And, of course, it so much easier to let my fingers
do the shopping than my poor tired feet.

Shoes may not be something you would consider
buying online as most people like to ‘try on’ their
shoes, and yes, that’s a big benefit to shopping
in stores, but online shoe stores have worked hard
to make your shoe shopping experience as easy
and pleasant as possible.

Here’s some of the benefits:

Free Shipping and Free Returns
Your shoes are delivered free and if you don’t
like them, they take them back free. This is a big
incentive that many online shoe stores offer. You
get your shoes in 3-5 days, try them on at home.
If you don’t like them or they don’t fit, you send them
back free of charge. They even supply the labels.

Better Pricing
Prices are often better online as well. What I
find the most appealing is that the internet provides
a forum for shopping around. If you find a pair of shoes
you like, make a note of the brand and style and shop
around at other online stores. In the time it takes to
drive to your local shoe store you can shop for a
wardrobe of shoes and have them delivered to your
door in just a few days.

110% price protection
Many online shoes stores offer price protection which
means if you find a shoe for a lower price on another
web site or in a shoe store, they will refund you 110%
of the difference between the lower price and our price.
Definitely something to look for when you shop.

You have 365 days to return your shoes
No hurry, if you can ‘t get out to return your shoes
right away, you have a whole year to send them
back.

Not all online shoe stores offer these exceptional
shoe buying benefits, however more and more of
them are jumping on board.

So, if you’re like me and you love to buy new shoes,
but hate the walking, check out shopping for them online.
It could be one of the best shoe buying experiences you’ll
ever have.

How many of you can remember going to the movies and seeing your favorite starlet in that magical little black dress. In the movies of the 50s it could be a tailored little black dress and today it can be a diva little black dress. Whatever the style it is essential for a ladies’ wardrobe to have that special little black dress.

You can find them offered in any style today. The ever popular halter dress offers you style and comfort. The strapless style is a little more daring but, a well manufactured one is made to stay in place while still being comfortable to wear. One of my favorites is the spaghetti strap little black dress. This is comfortable and secure and is sure to catch the eye of your favorite guy.

Enough about the bodice, let’s talk about the style of skirt. Of course, we have the straight skirt that will compliment either bodice. We have the gathered skirt, the straight skirt, the skirt of tulle, the slinky skirt and the now popular handkerchief skirt.

As far as length, really anything goes. To me, after considering the style, the skirt should be whatever length you’re comfortable with, from knee length to mini. You be the judge of how it looks on you and how it makes you feel. If you will be dancing while wearing your sexy little black dress you might want to rehearse the type dance while wearing the dress to be sure you will remain modest and little mysterious.

Now let’s talk about the fabric for your little black dress. Again, consider the style and length you have selected. The straight skirt would be wonderful in satin, taffeta, crepe, or silk. The slinky skirt would work in jersey or spandex blend. The full skirt is great in tulle, taffeta, satin or a chiffon or georgette overlay.

With all the styles, lengths, and fabrics there is a sexy little black dress for ladies of any size. Plus size little black dresses are just as stylish and attractive as the smaller sizes. No longer do you have two different styles for the two size ranges. Who said that plus size ladies do not look as wonderful as their smaller sisters? Or, that they care less about how they look? The truth is as long as you are comfortable with the little black dress you are wearing and you feel beautiful in that special dress you will have a glow and a beauty that will far outshine your size.

So, ladies, whatever the style, length, fabric or size you must have a special little black dress, that is unique to you, hanging in your closet ready for that invitation to the next wonderful event.

I have been involved in the marketing and sales for formalwear for 20 years. We offer that special prom gown, bridesmaid dresses and tuxedos for the wedding party and formalwear for any special occasion. We manufacture most of our ladies’ formalwear on site.
