When it comes to purses, there are a few that remained in history for their exquisite design and the popularity they gained when they first appeared. One of these timeless classics is Chanel 2.55 handbag which is considered a luxury handbag and has been praised by many fashion critics. It was designed in 1920, when Coco Chanel wanted to create something that would be more comfortable to carry around. Until then, handbags were carried in the hand and only workers had straps on their handbags that allowed them to use their hands or carry heavy items. Fortunately, Chanel, who really got her inspiration from everybody around her, managed to create this beautiful handbag that had straps and was much easier to carry around. She got her inspiration from soldier’s bags and managed to develop the finished product in 1929, but it was recreated in 1954, under the name of Chanel 2.55 handbag.

The bag, as you would probably imagine, is well crafted and beautiful with the Chanel classic elements. It has a lot of symbols and elements that make it even more interesting and create nice stories behind this concept. For example, it has a lining of burgundy color which it is said to represent the colors of the uniforms that she used to wear at the convent, where she grew up. There is also the fact that she created a zippered compartment inside the front flap and a lot of people have speculated that it was supposed to be used to carry love letters. Chanel definitely thought about everything a lady needed when creating this handbag. The double shoulder strap was to enhance social activities and make the woman walk freely. Some other features of this beautiful handbag include: having a quilted diamond or herringbone pattern on the exterior, a beautiful lock that was called “the Mademoiselle Lock” and it also seems that the beautiful chains were similar to the ones carried by the caretakers at the convent where she grew up.

There is no doubt that this beautiful handbag is quite a view and it would probably be the perfect accessory when you want to invest in something that can be used for years and years.

Also, if you have a favorite color, you will surely find pumps that have that color. Another great way to wear weird colors is by adding them to your shoes, so if there’s something you’d like to wear but you are reluctant to buy a piece of clothing that has that particular color, pumps are again, the way to go about this.

Classically, pumps have high heels. However, you can opt for shorter heels if you don’t feel comfortable with a certain type of length. Make sure that you feel comfortable in your shoes, and that should be the main reason why you buy them because you might end up with a bunch of medical issues if you don’t wear things properly.

Accessories are as important for men as they are for women, but most people tend to forget that aspect and don’t give enough credit to those who really pay attention to this. If you are one of those men who really want to complete their look with great accessories, read the following guide that will help you achieve the trendiest style with the new 2012 accessories trends.

 The first and most important accessory is the belt and belts this season have to be bold, just like all the other elements. But you should also keep an eye on what kind of belt you get and make sure that the belt you will be wearing for something more formal will match your shoes. The best idea here is to buy a few colors of belt for your formal outfits: black, brown and something that will work with other types of outfits such as jeans or pants that are more casual. A bold trend doesn’t mean that you should buy a belt with the head of a lion on the buckle, keep things simple and stand out through minimalism.

 A watch is another important accessory, often overlooked when it comes to combining it with what you wear. You should always get an elegant watch because most of the time a watch will stand out when wearing something formal. There are also in-between watches but you have to make sure that the model is right and it allows you to pull off both the looks, casual and elegant.

 Cuff links are classic accessories and any man should have a pair of cuff links to wear during business meeting or other formal events. Avoid getting weird cuff links with funny images or things like that, those should be kept as a joke between friends, nobody will ever appreciate them during a formal event.

 Luckily for men, there aren’t many classic accessories that they need to change this season and almost all elegant choices are welcome. Just make sure that the accessories you choose to wear can be combined with the outfit you picked and you will surely be trendy.

I am the kind of customer that tests the market before actually taking the decision of buying from a certain company, especially if it is an online based company. And this is what I did. I run several researches on the web and with friends and family to see who the most trustworthy seller is. But I guess you really can’t trust a seller in this line of business. A company that sells replicas will always be a risky choice.

This site seemed to be very decent and honest. I received very good feedback from the customer care department. They have always answered my inquiries very promptly and very politely. I was under the impression that I was dealing with an experienced respectful dealer and at that time I was extremely pleased with the whole online shopping experience. Everything went smooth, very smooth until my order was submitted. After the order went through everything changed. First, the products I have ordered were not available. They did not have it in stock and asked me to choose other models instead. I felt forced to browse the website for hours and hours trying to find something else that would suit my expectations. I must say that I didn’t like anything else, but I have selected a couple of watches just to get this over with. At that point I’ve started having doubts about going through with the order, but I continued the whole tiresome process because they still had my money and I was afraid of losing both the money and the products.

They took a very long time to ship the order. I’ve waited for 13 days before they actually shipped it. A tracking number was provided, but it didn’t work from the start and when it worked the information updated very slowly. You could only imagine the thoughts that tormented me. That it was all just a fraud. That I was scammed. No products. No money back. Nothing.

After almost two weeks of tracking the package several times a day I finally receive the order. The surprises continued. I unwrapped the watches from the ton of bubble wrap and paper only to discover that one was severely scratched and the other had the second hand lose inside the dial.

After a month of waiting I got two broken watches. I had no use for these. It was clear to me that the products were defective before the shipping took place. It was impossible to damage the watches with the amount of bubble wrap they had all over.

The customer care department was still responsive, but not as helpful as before. I was given the choice of sending them back for repairs. It seemed a process that implied additional costs and more time waiting to receive cheap crafted products so I decided to give it a rest. I abandoned the whole idea of buying replicas, especially online. I have decided that from now on I will only go with the real thing and pay my hard earned money only to buy quality and the respect I deserve from the provider. I do not recommend them to anyone. I recommend that you buy original products from an authorized dealer.

Fashion watches are definitely becoming a trend nowadays and with all the high end companies trying to show us the best outfits out there, we can’t wait to buy accessories that will manage to match the sophistication and opulence.

There are many types of watches: watches that are well known for their precision among connoisseurs, watches that are well known by the entire population because they managed to have great advertisement campaigns but are also good watches (such as Rolex, Omega, Breitling) and watches that are simply bought because of the way they look. The latter are usually made by fashion houses such as Givenchy, Gucci, Christian Dior, or jewelry houses such as Tiffany, Chopard or Swarovski. The reason why people buy those watches is because they are meant to please the eye. Some might have good mechanism, while others might get broken in just a few months, but this is not why the manufacturers make them as they don’t consider them precision watches. They can also cost a lot which is probably one of the reasons why people buy them and make sure that they make a fashion statement out of it. So, these watches can go up to a few thousand dollars or even more if they are made in limited series.

An interesting thing about these watches is the fact that manufacturers will use a lot more precious materials in their making, since they are supposed to be fashion items. You will always see diamonds, sapphires and precious metals on a fashion watch and their designs are usually beautifully made. Most fashion houses might pair up with  a good watch company to create really good watches that work well and also look amazing; these are obviously even more expensive and they are usually concept watches or they are sold to just a selected group of people. However, they might also make short series that are available for the whole population, but those usually cost a lot too and end up being sold out very fast so that people can ultimately sell them during auctions with double or triple their initial price.

If you like to wear beautiful watches that look more like bracelets than watches, a fashion watch is definitely the right choice for you.

If you are one of those petite girls you probably find it pretty difficult to find clothes that will fit you and look good. Unfortunately, most brands make clothes that would look amazing on extremely long bodies without taking into consideration the fact that the population is also made of average or petite women.  Being one of the exceptions is definitely annoying but here are some tips on how to get the best fashion items for your frame.

When it comes to tops you need to buy those who are not very short or very long, just the right size. In this case “just the rise size” is about your thigh, a few inches under your hip bone. Anything that is longer or shorter than that would make you look even smaller and you definitely don’t want that. Another important thing is to never get clothes that are too tight or too loose, because that will also be counterproductive when you want to give the impression that you are a bit taller. Even if you don’t find tops your size, the best thing you can do is have a tailor that would usually modify the clothes for you so that they are fit.

When choosing fashion items like jeans, you will have to be very carefully again. You will have to make sure that the pants you buy will fit you perfectly. Don’t go for loose pants, no matter how trendy they are, they are definitely for women who have longer legs and you don’t want to look even smaller. Straight pants or even wide pants are great, you can even wear slim pants if your legs are slim, otherwise you should avoid them because they make you look smaller and your legs will look huge.

When it comes to skirts and dresses you have to make sure that you don’t wear things that are too short or too long. Those that reach your knee are absolutely perfect because they make you look longer. Avoid going above the knee as your legs will look shorter if you wear something really short.

Women are absolutely obsessed with handbags and they can never have too many. However, some of these fashion items are essential to have around so that you can change them according to your outfit. Let’s see what styles and types of bags are best to keep around and how you can use them in the best way possible.

The Above Average in Size Clutch

This type of clutch handbag is absolutely great for a night out with your friends when you need a bit more room to carry a few things around. It’s also perfect for a date as you can keep your phone and your makeup so that you can refresh it every time you get the chance. Make sure that it is in a neutral color if you are the type of person who wears a more minimalistic style, but you can go wild with red or blue if you want to impress with your cool accessory.

A Tote Bag For Every Occasion

The tote bag is one of the most versatile handbags and also the easiest to carry around. However, you will have to invest in a high quality one, perhaps one made out of leather or a more durable material. This way you can wear your tote handbag without worrying that it gets worn out. Make sure that it is a bit bigger because if you are going to wear it every day you should be able to put a lot of things inside. Actually, why not get one that fits your laptop perfect and manage to use it in the best way possible to carry heavy things throughout the day and lose your unattractive laptop case.

A Big Carry-All Handbag

If you want to go to the gym, shopping with your friends or on the beach, the big bag will definitely come in handy. Make sure that it’s made of fabric to give it a casual style and that fabric is sturdy enough for you to carry a lot. It should come in a colorful color if you want a bit of sunshine on your outfit.

It seems that a lot of fashion houses have started showing their collection for fall. There are quite a lot of common elements when it comes to all of these fashion items that you will be wearing this fall. One of the common elements is power, as they have been showing powerful looking women with very sophisticated items.  There also seems to be a season that will be marked by opulence and exquisite accessories. Also, we will be seeing quite a lot of accessories that are extremely ostentatious, this being another thing that most fashion houses had in common, but let’s see what the main fashion items you want to buy for autumn.

A grey dress or a grey two pieces outfit – grey seems to be the new black and it’s the color that has been incorporated in the most elegant styles. However, don’t forget to avoid making it dull by adding colorful accessories or other pieces of clothing that will make you stand out.

A classic style trench coat – if you are a fan of old movies you will know exactly what we mean when we say this. However, avoid the colors that were used back then and opt for neutral colors like beige or tan. You have to choose something that doesn’t look dull but also can be combined with a lot of other colors so tan or beige trench coat is the best option. There have been a lot of combinations on the runways including trench coats combined with boots and skirts or pants so this is definitely a must have fashion item.

Blazer – when it comes to elegance, the blazer seems to be one of the most common fashion items on the runway for this fall. It’s a classic element and so are the rest of the fashion items mentioned in this article; however, you don’t have to get any type of blazer, but a Chanel type of blazer. When we mean Chanel we are referring to the style that made her famous, the navy style blazer so opt for a blue blazer. Actually blue is a pretty common color the next season but it was pretty trendy throughout this year so you can still wear the clothes you bought last year.
