Shopping for Designer

Shopping-for-Designer

If you like handbags, this is the time and place to find so many options, you’ll run out of breath before you run out of bags. Let’s look at some of the ins and outs and have our own little handbag adventure. There are all kinds of choices such as cigar box purses, luxurious leather purses, trendy monogram purses, coin purses, Paris Hilton-inspired doggy purses, beautifully beaded purses, unique license plate purses, jelly Kelly purses, mini backpacks and statement-making photo purses.

There are as many schools of thought on handbag buying as there are hands to hold the bags. Don’t worry, though. Your handbag buying philosophy will not make or break your world and if you make a purchasing error, you can always go back and get another one – the right one.

Some say you should avoid the latest craze and stick with your own style. That’s ok, but sometimes it will prevent you from getting a bag you really love just because it is in fashion. Why not go with the trend? Buy what you love. Life is a one-way trip as far as we know. Get that bag you love and show it off.

Another factor to consider is the practicality of the bag itself. Is it too big? Will it hold your precious cargo? Is it appropriate to your selected venue? But if you are a real fashionista, practicality is your last consideration. Let’s be real.

So, what else is important? The outfit. If you are not in tune with your outfit and the statement you are making – then buy a grocery bag and use that. Truly. You should have a clear sense of your fashion intention so you can use the bag to thrust your important point home. Otherwise, you’re just another brick in the wall.

So, think accentuating colors. The bag can even be a bright red when you’re all in black. Try to keep proportions. In other words, if you’re wearing something tight-fitting and close-fitting, the bag should not be loose and messy. If you’re being conservative, don’t go wild with the bag. Also, big floppy bags where everything falls to the bottom are rarely if ever appropriate. The last thing anyone around you wants to do is wait for you while you dig for your car keys.

This brings another point. You should always pick a bag with inside pockets and some kind of organizer within. Nothing impresses a man more than you’re reaching into your bag without looking and pulling out your lipstick to freshen your look – then slipping it back in. It turns a chore into a ballet.

Make your own choice whether or not you feel comfortable with a replica or copy – or a genuine. Usually, you’ll be happier and feel prouder with a bag you can afford instead of one bought to impress. These things end up creating the opposite effect to the one desired.  An appropriate bag. An affordable bag. A bag you love to pick up and feel proud to carry. One that matches your outfit and impresses those worth impressing. What else could a person desire?

Men’s Fashion Top 5 Do-Nots!

Guys will be guys. But sometimes that’s a bad thing. Read up and listen.

Socks with Sandals

Men-Fashion-Top -5-Do-NotsRemember how bad Dad looked? What makes you think you look any better? You don’t.

Novelty Stuff

Underwear with interesting attachments or designs, t- shirts that the guys laugh at but you won’t let your mom see. Give it up. She won’t like it. Unless she bought it, then only when the two of you are together.  It’ll be your inside joke.

Backpacks

They’re out.  Get a messenger bag – they’re in. And you don’t look like a boy-scout leader carrying one. Backpacks c’mon. That was so yesterday. Like a ski rack on your SUV. Take it off.

Super Loose Clothes

Even if you think you’re hip hop, don’t do it. These clothes might work if you want to ‘bust a cap’ into somebody, but you’ll also kill any trace of fashion.

Nasty Colors

Forget it. Hawaiian shirts are out. Forget it. No. I said no.

Stay tuned for more info that will save your butt and maybe get you laid.

The Shoe In: Sculpture Afoot At McQueen

Posted by took | Shoes | Wednesday 7 October 2009 10:55 pm

mcqueenshoes_blogI heard that dreaded kitten heels appeared earlier today at Louis Vuitton. But last night at Alexander McQueen, it was still cobbling to the extreme: sculptural shoes with ten-inch heels. The more hooflike ones reminded me slightly of Balenciaga’s intense platform from several seasons ago. I had actually tried those on, and they were quite secure until I tripped on the fashion closet floor and nearly broke my ankle. At McQueen, these were almost literally works of art, some sculpted to look like the fossils of ancient yet alien sea creatures. Others had a cool, old-school robotic thing happening with pieces of metal screwed together. They’re amazing to look at, but would you buy them to wear or display in your living room?
