Fashion Shoe
Take a no-fuss approach to make the most of scarves
The scarf — and finding a chic way to wear it — is emblematic of French fashion. It’s a major style statement, yet great care is taken to make it appear that wearing a scarf is effortless, a last-minute addition.
American women tend to be more fearful of scarves and fuss over them. That’s their first mistake, says Robin Adelman, director of the main floor at Hermes’ Madison Avenue store in Manhattan.
She offers simple directions, beginning with the French-style fold:
Using a square scarf, lay it out flat, then bring two opposite corners to the center, creating two triangles on the surface. Fold each triangle in half, then in half again at the center line, essentially folding the scarf into one-eighth of its original width.
There should be a sharp point at each end.
From there, you can tie around the neck in a slip knot around your finger, wrap it around the neck and tie the points in the back for a turtleneck effect, use it to line the edge of a V-neck top, or use it as a belt around the waist.
“There is no ‘do’ and ‘don’t’ for knots,” says Adelman. “You might make a great knot one day and never be able to repeat it, but enjoy it for that day
“Simplest is often the way to go.”
Americans tend to fold their scarves into a triangle at the offset, then place the triangle point facing downward on the back and tie a simple knot in the front — and there’s nothing wrong with wearing it that way, Adelman says. That same fold also works as a kerchief around the head a la Grace Kelly, she notes.
There are so many ways to wear scarves, including skirts (using at least two), tops and bolero-style jackets, Adelman says, that you can get away with wearing the same outfit much more often and no one will be the wiser.

Tips on Buying Womens Tops
So you are thinking about buying womens tops to gift to someone? I am sure you must have heard that it is not easy to get the perfect tops for the ladies because they are quite picky when it comes to the clothes that they wear but believe me, it is not that difficult either. You just have to learn some of the basic things before you head towards the stores to look for the womens tops. In this piece of writing, we are going to talk about some of the tips that can be of great help to you when you are shopping for womens tops.
The retail store is the first place where you should go when you are looking for womens tops. You will find plenty of womens tops when you visit any retail store chain and perhaps the most common type of tops that most retailers sell are tees or t-shirts. If you are thinking about getting some womens tops for someone then you first have to determine the type of t-shirt that this person likes to wear. Does she have a favorite color? What about the style of the tops? Does she have a favorite style or design? You need to consider all these factors when you are out to get womens tops for someone.
Like the changing season, the style or preference of women also changes and as such, women may stop wearing a particular style after sometime. You need to know what the current favorite style of this woman (that you are thinking about getting the womens tops). Notice the tops that she wears everyday, I am sure you will get a fair idea about the kind of tees that is her favorite at the moment.
Some women do not like wearing a particular color and you have to make sure that the womens tops that you buy for her are in colors that she likes. If you buy a particular top in her least favorite color then she will probably never wear it. Thus, it is very important for you to find out what her likes and dislikes are. Just ask her casually and she will tell you. If you have unlimited budget then you can check out even the most expensive womens tops but if you have a fixed budget, then simply look for the tops that come under your budget. Make sure that you do not buy cheap tops because trust me, a woman will know if the tops that you have brought for her is cheap because the quality of the material will not be good.
If you want to make a good impression on her, you will have to take out some time to shop for the womens tops so that you can get the perfect tops for her.

Tips for plus size women
there are true description of the entire fashion industry when the average woman in any country wears a size 14. Good health and being excessively thin are not usually compatible. You can look very attractive without depriving yourself all the time. The answer lies in wearing the right garments for your body type and maintaining your self confidence.
Follow these simple rules to feel as elegant as a model every day! Clingy, heavy fabrics are out--they stick to the hips ungracefully instead of flowing the way clothes should. For a forgiving, versatile and amazingly flattering choice, try a wrap dress. This is a truly superb invention which is both stylish and comfortable.
If you feel that your arms are a problem area, you should avoid clothes with bubble sleeves. The combination of puffy excessive fabric and cinching elastic will only draw additional attention to that area where many women already feel tremendously self-conscious.
Follow the belt trend wisely. Belts have been all the rage this year, dressing up bland and formerly last season pieces with new flair. Stay away from overly gaudy pieces and pay special attention to the placement of the belt. If you're heavier in the midsection and thighs, the belt should go around the ribcage. Don't make the belt too tight either, it's not flattering and certainly not comfortable.
Choose the right high boots. High boots look great with dresses but if you're short and have a pear shaped figure make sure your boots have a heel. The added height lengthens the legs and makes you stand tall with style and elegance. Pair boots with an empire waist dress and you're set. The empire waist falls just above the natural waist making bottom heavy women look fabulous.
Choose a fabric with a subtle color, and ignore the common misconception that black is the only color that looks slimming. This has gone by the wayside, replaced by understatement. The key is to avoid obnoxious and unflattering prints and horizontal stripes. Instead try inviting and warm colors such as rusts, browns, and greens.
The most important thing to remember is to own your style. Choose dresses that make you look as great as you feel and you can float from work, out to dinner or even to cocktail party with a few choice pieces.
