If you love online shopping and just about anything about fashion, you probably already have come across ASOS. It’s a global marketplace housing over 50,000 labels selling different items like clothes, accessories, shoes, and jewellery for both men and women. Hundreds of new items are added weekly for every fashionista all over the world. It’s great that ASOS is able to deliver items to buyers in the USA, UK, Germany, Spain, France and other countries in Europe as well as 190 other countries worldwide. Their international standard shipping is even free and buyers can pay for their purchases via Paypal and credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

There are men who don’t know a thing about fashion more so the latest trends. ASOS takes care of that by having a men’s trends section. Oversized scarves are denim gilets are “in” nowadays. Printed shirts are also fashionable. It really doesn’t matter if the prints are big or small. There are styles for the more conservative type of guy like blazers worn with ties, even bow ties and then matched with loafers. The military style is in vogue again especially the khaki greens. Classic wear for men like tweed, tartan, herringbone paired with denim and a casual T-shirt are in vogue.

There are times when I like to dress up for an occasion but I’ve always been a T-shirt kind of guy. I found a couple of shirts I’d probably buy at the ASOS marketplace. Just click the picture of the item you like and a bigger picture appears and several different shots, along with the product details, price, available sizes, care instructions, shipping information, and seller. You can also see feedbacks (if any) from buyers. For an easy day at the mall I’d wear the Acid Wash Black Punk Tee by Mattyt priced affordably at 10 pounds. It’s made of 100% cotton and is from the USA. I love the style of this T-shirt. It’s simple but it catches your attention right away.

I’m also all about clean looking shirts like the Exploder T-shirt from Volga Verdi worth 26 pounds. This 100% cotton fabric shirt has a super bright neon design in front that is very attractive and is better worn tight. The label is from the USA. I also saw this cute and funny T-shirt from the brand Kidinc from Hongkong. The playful design is that of a picture of Albert Einstein showing his tongue. This 100% premium soft cotton jersey is 16.50 pounds and is available in white. You can also see several different items sold by this brand if you click the “View Collection” link.

I have several striped T-shirts at my closet and want to add another one. The limited edition Aztec Tee by River Island is a good option. It’s worth 10 pounds and has this striking blue color. I like the design because it’s quite unique. Another one is the striped, long sleeved classic Ralph Lauren Polo Shirt worth 30 pounds. It’s in black and blue and has a collar. I would love to match this with my favorite pair of jeans. Last but not the least on my list is the All Seeing Eye print T-shirt from The Left Bank. The color is a striking orange with a pyramid and eye silhouette design on the front. It’s quite affordable at 24 pounds. I’ll definitely stand out from the crowd if I wear this shirt.

I really loved to see some collaborative pieces like what you are seeing on the top photos, the Nanamica x Champion Sweat Suits Collection. Because these pieces are the usual quirky and most look forward to by the fashion icons and enthusiasts today. Because it is quite controversial isn’t it to have an collection behind two giant brain’s company? that’s why its pretty sure that whenever 2 giants doing collaboration it may be a hip on the fashion industry..

Nanamica x Champion Sweat Suits Collection will be available soon on the market and I will keep you updated whenever they releases their pieces over the market. For now, all we have to do is to wait for the further details. Wait, as I’ve heard these pieces had approximately price of $175-$240 USD. But we have to wait still..:)

When it comes to fashion today. Leather as an pieces material is the most demand in the industry, why do I say so? it is simply about the season. Yeah! seasons has a huge influence on the fashion trends today because brand names companies are need to work on the season’s needs. Like for example these days, we’re heading to the fall season and soonest will be have the winter one. And the best piece we could have on these seasons was these leather made pieces like the jacket you were seeing on the top photos. The jacket is from the one leading high-end fashion brand these days,Balenciaga.

Actually, Ive heard a lot of great pieces made of leather as an main material, however, this Balenciaga Structured Wool-Blend Jacket really caught my attention because its look neat and simple but yet it has this swagness on it that can rock you all the way, isn’t it? by the way, the jacket is belongs to Balenciaga’s Fall/Winter 2012. And as for now. I haven’t know yet any further details about it, like the pricing and the jacket details itself. However, I’ll try to update this as days goes by and as I got the further info about it.

Alright, that’s it for now and I hope you may keep on checking the blog for more fashion news updates. Thanks a lot and have yourself a great weekend..!

Transforming Heirlooms into Fashionable Jewelry

by admin

Family heirlooms are often cherished pieces of jewelry that are kept for sentimental reasons among members of a family. However, these beautiful items are often stored away in jewelry boxes as they no longer reflect the current style. Additionally, many small trinkets that are passed down in a family may not actually be meant to be worn, yet they have the potential to become a beautiful piece of jewelry. Beads, loose jewels and other baubles often fall into this category.

When family heirlooms and other items become pushed to the back of the jewelry drawer or stored away in a box, then it is time to begin finding unique ways to wear them so that they can begin to reflect their significance as a family treasure.

Restring Beads

When bracelets or necklaces break, many people keep the beads or charms as they tend to be made from expensive stones or jewels. Although this is done with the best of intentions, these items often sit for long periods of time as no one knows what to do with them. Many times, beads and other baubles can be restrung by simply placing them on a beautiful base. Magnet Jewelry Store has many styles of necklaces and bracelets that can be embellished by adding a few pretty charms or beads.

Mix and Match 

Many times, a piece of jewelry will have several good beads or jewels, while the others have fallen into disrepair. Additionally, older pieces of jewelry may include color schemes that are no longer in style. In these instances, several pieces of jewelry can be combined into one stunning piece. This works best with necklaces and bracelets. However, the stones from earrings and rings can be added to new settings to make a unique piece of jewelry as well.

Vintage Charm 

Sometimes, simply finding a new way to wear a vintage piece of jewelry is all that is needed. Broaches may have fallen out of style, but by adding a new back or loop, they can make a unique pendant that is certain to serve as a conversation piece. Additionally, costume jewelry may be overwhelming when worn as a set, yet wearing only one piece at a time can contribute to a refined overall look.

Finding new ways to wear old jewelry is a great way to give old family heirlooms a fresh look. While many vintage pieces may need only a few minor adjustments, it is possible to create an entirely new piece by simply adding or rearranging a few beads and jewels. This way, a family heirloom can be displayed proudly as a piece of a person’s family history.

The Tips For Keeping Your Hair Extensions Smooth And Soft

1.It is recommended to brush your hair daily using a clip in hair extensions brush. Hold your hair in a ponytail style , brush DRY hair in a downward motion starting from the very bottom, working your way up.Hair extensions are often treated with chemicals to make them stronger and more durable. As a result, they can be dry and tough to the touch, not soft or silky. However, you can make them softer, shinier-the kind of hair you can run your fingers by using both homemade and  hair conditioners. You can apply these remedies both before and after the extensions have been placed in your hair; the conditioning treatments will work in both cases.

2.We also recommend using a hair treatment on them every couple weeks, because the hair is not attached to your scalp, it is not getting the oils it should be. Using a treatment/hair mask will help keep them looking healthier and shiny for longer with clip in hair extensions! You will find that you don’t need to wash your extensions too much. (Just use shampoo on your scalp, and let the water rinse it through the bottom, do not rub shampoo through the extensions this will cause tangling. It is highly recommended to use a moisturizing detangling solution after washing.  This will assist in retaining moisture in the hair and easier comb out.

3.When blowing, styling, or hot iron styling your hair, use extra caution, and lower settings, to avoid too much heat damage. After use of heating tools will dry out the hair more quickly causing more tangling and/or dryness.It is best to let your hair extensions dry naturally after washing them. If you do plan on using hot tools, it is best to apply a heat protection prior to heat styling.If you are in ANY chlorine or salt water, you must rinse well with shower water. Do not go to bed with it in your hair, the chlorine / salt water will weaken the attachment area and dry out extensions.

Lighter colors are processed more; resulting in a little more of a dryer texture then darker colors and using these tips will aid in keeping your extension healthy, shiny and longer wear.

Dressing for Fall

by admin

Fall can be an incredibly hard time to pick out the proper outfits.  The weather seems to jump from really hot and humid to suddenly cold and wet.  Then, you throw in “rules of thumb” like no white after Labor Day, and you can start running into challenges with any wardrobe.  Here are some thoughts on dressing for fall!

Summer Style Still Works

For the most part, summer styles still work very well in the fall.  For example, you can wear polo shirts by Debenhams, or other causal polo shorts and still look great.  On hot fall days, there is nothing wrong with wearing shorts and flip-flops, or other summer-like clothes that make you feel comfortable.

Some things you may want to avoid are real “beachy” clothes unless you are actually going to the beach.  For example, you may not want to wear board shorts or tank tops this time of year.  Those are more appropriate attire for the spring and summer.

Things to Keep in Mind

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that, in many parts of the country, fall is that time of year when it starts getting much cooler.  This means making sure that you have your coats or sweaters readily available.  You never know when the weather could change (and it seems to change very quickly overnight).  You wake up one morning, and it is suddenly raining.

A good strategy for this time of year is to focus on layering.  This means wearing your jeans and a polo, but adding a sweater in the cool mornings.  As your day progresses, you can lose the sweater, but at least you will have it with you should you want to put it back on in the evening (if it gets cool outside again).

Another thing to keep in mind is it is sometimes a good idea to keep a spare coat and umbrella in the trunk of you car in case the weather changes drastically during the day.  That way you are always prepared should something come up.
