Shopping For Your Prom Dress Online
Preparing your entire prom look always starts with the prom dress, and for that you have to have a good head start of at least two months before the prom. A good head start on putting your prom look together, not just your prom dress, will save you from getting stressed out later on whatever details you may have overlooked just because you rushed through your preparations.
Thankfully, it is no longer necessary for you to visit shops selling prom dresses and physically comb through their stock just to get the right one. All you need to do is to surf the Net and look for online retailers that sell prom dresses. You do not have to leave the house to get your shopping done, unless you do not have Internet at home.
The Budget for Your Prom Dress
There are a few things that you need to consider and decide before you turn on your computer and surf for prom dresses that you can buy online. One of these is your budget. How much can you afford to spend on buying a prom dress?
To answer that question, you need to ask your parents how much money they are willing to give you so you could get the elements of your prom look together â€" your prom dress, your shoes and accessories, your hair and makeup, and other incidental expenses. If the money your parents are allotting you is not enough, or if they are not spending for your prom dress, then you would have to depend on your savings and come up with some extra cash before the prom.
Remember that a prom dress does not have to cost a lot. Regardless of how much you have, you can always get a fabulous prom dress with patient searching and creative thinking.
Deciding What Prom Dress You Want
Once you have the matter of budgeting for your prom dress settled, then you can move on to other details such as what kind of dress you want to wear and what type of dress will suit your figure best.
There are many styles of prom dresses that you can choose from. What dress style would suit you depends largely on what you want and what your body type is. Here is a rundown of some of the basic styles that you can find on prom dresses and what body type they flatter the most:
1. Bubble dress. The bubble dress has a cinched waist and a curved-in hem. Cute and fun, it is great for girls with skinny figures because it gives them the curves they lack. It is also awesome on girls with full figures because it emphasizes the curves they have.
2. Corset dress. The corset dress sports a tightly laced top that is good for creating a fetching cleavage and the illusion of a small waist, especially when matched with a fluffy skirt. A prom dress of this type is good for the full-figured girl, as it embellishes her lovely curves.

Current Fashion Trends in Costume Jewelry and Accessories
Current Fashion Trends in Costume Jewelry and Accessories
by: Michael Gietl
Color Trends in Costume Jewelry
The fall fashion trends are ushering in another excellent season for costume jewelry and accessories. Rich colors and bold looks dominate the trend. Teal, amber and amethyst are the important colors with olivine and green used as neutrals. Topaz and peacock are also important and all indications are that rich color will continue into the spring season. Metals are seeing a return to gold, but silver is still stronger.
Bold Designs Dominate Fashion Jewelry
Fashion jewelry thrives when bold designs are in vogue and that is very much the case this season. The high fashion look is popular in necklaces, earrings, and bracelets with natural components contributing to the designs. Wood is continuing its second season of popularity with shell important even in the fall line. But the rising star in natural materials is gemstone, which provides the beauty of natural semiprecious stones to the costume jewelry designs. This will definitely continue and accelerate in the spring line. Also popular in neckwear are 48 inch and 60 inch ropes that are worn extended or doubled. Jet is strong in holiday jewelry and estate looks (antique designs) are becoming fashionable in bridal jewelry.
Traditional Costume Jewelry and Accessories
While costume jewelry in bold designs and rich colors forge the way for leading fashion, there is a larger market that shouldn’t be ignored in more traditional and classic looks. Theme jewelry in pendants, earrings, and charm bracelets has an appeal that goes beyond fashion alone because it identifies with what the wearer cares about. In addition, traditional rhinestone, bridal jewelry, evening bags, and formal gloves have a classic look with timeless appeal. There is a major market for these items that will always be present even as fashion changes.
Accessory Trends
Sequins and buttons are very big in all accessories, especially in handbags and evening bags. Beyond these, the looks of the larger bags introduced by leading designers are the trendy styles of the season. These are the bags the stars are carrying, which goes a long ways towards popularizing the styles. In evening bags, large sequins and buttons are very much in vogue, but traditional looks seem to be carrying the day.
Sunglasses are definitely big and bold with aviators the runaway favorite. Retro looks are also excellent and colored frames with matching lenses are very popular.
Hats and Headwear
In millinery, dress hats are an important part of the market, with ladies hats the dominant player. The looks are very traditional with a new element of pre-made bands allowing for the versatility of custom designs. Casual hats, however, account for the major share of the market and no design in 2005 is more important than the rollup cowboy hat. While the design is not popular in every region of the country, the sheer number of sales makes it the number one hat of the year. This rugged look that is typically American has risen to such popularity that it becomes an important fashion statement. After cowboy hats, the three most fashionable designs are wide brim floppy hats, ladies fedoras, and newsboys. The entertainment field has played a major roll in popularizing these designs and the fashion looks continue into the fall season with felt, leather, wool, and leatherette used as the material for the fall versions.

Profile for Jobs: Fashion Marketing
Profile for Jobs: Fashion Marketing
by: Silas Reed
Jobs in fashion marketing can be an exciting deal for anyone with a creative bent of mind. If you are an artistic person and are wondering how to possibly turn your passion into a highly remunerative profession, then this is surely something worthy of your perusal. Though challenging and demanding, this is an industry for those who love to keep pace with the fast moving and ever changing world of fashion.
If you have an inherent knack for grasping the fashion styles that are going to be well received in the market or if you find it easy to convincingly market a new trend, then consider your work half done. It is an extremely rewarding career if you think about the influential posts that you get to hold in the world of fashion. You practically get to decide the style statement that people will flaunt. Nothing is as empowering and flattering to a person’s ego than the idea that he can control teeming millions, subconsciously with his innovative ideas and ingenious outlook.
Apart from having the inherent knack for identifying popular fashion taste, people aspiring to get jobs in fashion marketing needs to have a professional degree from an accredited university. They need to be original and display creative talents as well as have a head for understanding business. After all fashion marketing is all about being able to understand what will work and what not. That is to say, it is about identifying those fashion trends, which when produced in mass will help the company recover its production cost along with a substantial profit margin.
The professional degree does nothing more except hone your skills in sales, marketing management and imparts you a more solid understanding of consumer psychology. Since fashion marketers have to coordinate their work with a number of different units such as retail outlets, fashion photographers, fashion designers; this humongous task of collaboration makes it an extremely taxing job. It also necessitates that fashion marketers be good with their PR skills and their understanding of effective promotion and advertising.
Now that you have a clearer understanding of fashion marketing job profile, let me tell you that this sector has been identified as one which holds a lot of promise for growth and expansion. Competition to get into the best company and work with the best fashion house is tough and why won’t it be so, when fashion marketers on an average get to earn as much as 80k a year?
A degree in fashion marketing is sure to fetch you good job opportunities. You can either work with fashion designers or big houses as fashion marketing assistant, visual merchandisers or stylists who style the models before their walk on the ramp. And if you are creative and daunting enough and have full confidence in your ability you can go for self- employment, that is to say you can establish your own boutique and run it with élan.
Employment in fashion marketing is not a difficult thing to secure if you know a few tips. For example it is always advisable to network and network well, I mean. Try and carry your business card and let the world outside feel your presence. Attend meetings and parties- both social and informal. Also remember to keep a look out for available job opportunities and if you do your homework well, you land yourself a job in no time!

How To Become A Fashion Designer When You Are A Kid
How To Become A Fashion Designer When You Are A Kid
by: Silas Reed
There are two schools of thought on the qualities needed to become a fashion designer. One school of thought believes that an eye for fashion is inborn and God gifted and cannot be acquired through practice and perseverance. The other school of thought on the other hand believes that it is hard work and perseverance that can make a fashion designer out of a kid.
However, a look at the successful fashion designers of the world would confirm that it is a blend of talent and hard work that can make a successful fashion designer out of a kid.
So what are the qualities that make a successful fashion designer? Let us take a look at the principles and qualities:
First, a natural flair for design is a must, be it a design for men or design for women fashion. An aspiring fashion designer must have the basic acumen for men’s fashion or women fashion. The fashion designer must be able to, on the top of the head, decide a design for any category whatsoever.
Second, an aspiring fashion designer needs to have a formal training. A diploma or a degree in a fashion institute of repute will just do fine. The fashion designer will be adequately trained on the various aspects of the business of fashion designing which are so critical. This will go on to make a complete fashion designer.
Third, an aspiring fashion designer must have an ideal blend of knowledge with the theoretical aspects of fashion design as well as the practical aspects of fashion design. Hence, the fashion designer will design fashion with a blend of theoretical knowledge and its ideal practical application. Such a combination goes on to make for a good fashion designer.
Fourth, an aspiring fashion designer must be good at making basic sketches. A basic sketch gives a good idea of how the design will finally like. Hence, a good fashion designer must be able to visualize in mind how the design will look like in the end and draw a sketch accordingly.
Fifth, good visualization skills for a fashion designer are a must. A good fashion designer must also have an eye for details. While designing the most intricate of the designs, an eye for detail is a critical quality that a fashion designer must possess. A good visualization serves as an inspiration and sets the objective for the final design.
Hence, a fashion designer must be equally good at men’s fashion and women fashion. This profession is however, not a bed of roses, with high competition and a high failure and rejection rates, it is always a steep climb.
