Boys Clothes Collection by Christian Dior for Winter 2011 and 2012





Boys Clothes Collection by Christian Dior for Winter 2011 and 2012

In this article I want to give you a sneak-peak at the boys clothes collection by Christian Dior for the upcoming fall and winter season of 2011 and 2012. The collection has surprised me very much and it is in its essence very different from the girls clothes collection. Nevertheless, both designer kids clothes collections are clean-looking which goes hand in hand with the superior design of Christian Dior. Whereas the girls clothes collection takes on a dreamy fairy-tale type of style, the boys clothes collection for winter 2011 and 2012 is down to earth and clever. A name that well describes what I mean is "James Bond" who represents a classy down to earth man who's very convincing in his behavior. That doesn't mean the boys clothes collection by Christian Dior takes on a special agent type of look, though!
So you are probably wondering what the elements are that make up the Dior boys clothes collection. The most apparent elements are "skinny" and "1960s". The clothes have a sharp cut and are rather skinny designed. It looks really amazing because it is mixed with a 1960s type of clothing. Very important to realize is that not everything is mixed with a 1960s style, there are also numerous "modern" casual trousers, sweaters and jackets like a hooded down jacket. Nevertheless, they are still designed in a skinny-looking cut that can very well be combined with any of the 1960s style of clothes from this collection. Dior expresses the 1960s style especially through coats and trousers that are casual looking. Think of a 1960s movie where the male protagonist strolls down a street in his casual clothes. Nevertheless, there are no hats in the Dior collection for boys. The one thing that adds "modern spice" to the collection are the shoes. The shoes are discreet and comfortable sneakers in dark colors. This is great because a boys collection has to stay a kids line and shouldn't turn boys into men or even gentlemen.
I can assure you your son will still be your little "rascal" even when wearing clothes from Christian Dior's boys collection. He will, though, make a handsome appearance wherever he goes and look exceptionally successful and clever. To compare Dior's boys collection with James Bond was kind of risky but it really does describe the overall impression quite well in my opinion. Nevertheless, this is no stiff suit and tie collection that is only worn by little boys who already go to art exhibitions. The skinny design, the casual sweaters and jackets and the shoes combine very well and deliver a great sense of identity and class for any boy wearing clothes from this collection in the upcoming winter of 2011 and 2012.

Girls Clothes Collection by Christian Dior for Winter 2011 and 2012





Girls Clothes Collection by Christian Dior for Winter 2011 and 2012
Dior's new girls clothes collection for winter 2011 and 2012 is showing up on the internet. Hence it's time to take a closer look and point out some of its unique characteristics. From what I have seen so far, the preview to Dior's girls clothes collection has already revealed quite well what we can expect in winter 2011 and 2012.
So what is it that can we expect from Dior's new girls clothes collection? When I looked at the photos, the first thing that came to my mind was "Alice in Wonderland". There's quite a strong fairytale-feel to the collection. I love how Christian Dior implemented such a magical theme that is very suitable for girls. I would say, though, that a girl wearing some of these clothes wouldn't even think of it as a fairytale theme! For her, it's probably "just" a very beautiful dress or a pretty item of clothing. Only from an adult's perspective do we recognize the fairytale theme. That's what makes this collection so unique in my opinion! The girl wearing a dress from Dior's winter collection will feel beautiful - and she certainly will look beautiful - while the parents see her as the little princess they adore, as if she escaped from a fairytale straight into their lives. That's how magical Dior's winter collection is. At this point it's feasible to say: Dior's new girls clothes collection is going to be amazing.
So what are the elements of the collection that give it this fairytale look? Probably the most apparent characteristic is the cleanness. All of the dresses, coats and other clothes have a very clean look to it: clean in terms of coloring and design. There are no wild patterns or excessive mingling of colors. Scrolling through the pictures makes you realize how congruent all the different dresses and clothes are. The colors that are used are not somber, either, which is something I appreciate very much in this collection. There's a lot of white, blue and even red. Because of the clean designs and patterns that are mixed with these classy colors, your daughter wearing one of these dresses will look so neat, that you instantly believe she's from a fairytale.

Men's Shoes: Boots
Men's shoes or boots can be of various types, for different reasons and for different occasions. The most important point to be taken into consideration while choosing men's shoes is that, you must always keep a tab on the style factor and the suitability of the shoes with the outfits you are wearing and even its worth for the specific place or occasion you will be visiting. Based on the different requirements, the different types of boots have emerged. They are meant for different needs, for instance, if you are going for hiking, then Cowboy boots obviously won't be the right choice, in this case you have to wear the hiking boots to safeguard a smooth hiking expedition.
Now, let's peep into the style factor associated with making selection for the perfect mens shoes boots.

Shoes speak out the taste, preference and personality of an individual with a precise detail. If you are really trying to understand a man well, then just look at his shoes and it will brief you the basic traits he is carrying. Therefore, just getting a mere pair of men's shoes is not anyway an easy task. You have to think a lot and then find the choice that will fit your feet in the best way.
Closed stitched shoes are made that way so that they can protect us from the elements of nature when we are bound to work in outdoor conditions. These men's boots stop water or snow to enter the shoes and are hence stitched very closely. Moreover it is well taken care of that the material, generally leather are water proof. But shoes are also made of other materials like wood, rubber, plastic and other synthetic stuff. There are men's boots which can endure the hot molten metals of a blast furnace as well as protect our feet from frost bites in sub zero conditions.

Men's Fashion Trends




Men's Fashion Trends
One of the great things about men's fashion is that while trends come and go, such as the polyester suit of the 70s and the punk look of the 80s, it always seems to gravitate back towards a clean and masculine look. 2011 has definitely brought a major resurgence of this classic appearance. In both high fashion and catalog spreads, you'll see men dressed in flattering styles and natural fabrics. The grunge look of the 90s is out, and the well-groomed clean cut appearance of an earlier era has made a comeback. Along these lines, here are 3 of my favorite trends in men's fashion coming up for fall of 2011.
Colored denim- We have a tendency to always think of denim as meaning "blue jeans." But colored denim is a great trend for fall, and a nice way to dress up your normal denim look. Now it's accepted that you can wear white jeans, even after Labor Day. Just anchor them with darker pieces, such as gray or brown shoes and belt, and a navy sport jacket. Gray jeans are a terrific look for fall. You can pair them with other cool tones, such as a blue and white striped shirt, camel suede shoes, and a blue denim jacket for a nice, calming look. Or for something a little bolder, try yellow-gold denim pants. Just remember that this is a bright color, and the rest of your outfit should remain in neutral shades, such as tans or navy blues.
"Mad Men" inspired fashion- Since the television show "Mad Men" became raucously popular, several different clothing companies have introduced tailored and form-fitting lines inspired by the pre-hippie era of the early 1960s. I am personally looking forward to Banana Republic's "Mad Men" inspired men's line that will be introduced this fall. The reason this particular line works so well is that it offers a bit of an updated twist on classic, retro looks. This is the very key to looking appropriate, not like you are wearing a costume, when emulating vintage fashion. Key pieces to pulling off the "Mad Men" inspired look are slim cut suits, shawl-collared sweaters, slim cut pin stripe trousers, vests, and waist coats. If you are attending a formal event, a classic black silk bow tie is key, and for everyday wear, a nice silk tie with necktie accessoriesis appropriate.
Casual dressy looks- What do I mean by "causal dressy"? Well, it differs from what you think of as straight-up dressy. For a casual dressy look, start with a casual foundation. This could be a pair of relaxed fit chinos and a polo shirt or silk screened cotton tee shirt. Then, add an element that you would normally only think of as dressy, such as a well fitted sport jacket. For another casual dressy look, try a pair of dark wash jeans and a button down shirt with the vest from your three piece suit. Or, black denim pants with a plain white tee shirt and a tuxedo jacket. You can also make any casual outfit more dressy with an interesting accessory such as an antique pocket watch or a nice pair of leather oxford shoes. Celebrities who regularly and successfully pull off the casual dressy look are Kanye West, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and Pharell Williams. Just don't ever mix a blazer or sport jacket with shorts when going for the casual dressy look.

Men's Fashion Sunglasses





Men's Fashion Sunglasses
There are many different types of men's fashion sunglasses on the market. The type you choose to purchase should depend on your needs as well as your personal style. If you need the sunglasses to protect your eyes against the sun or other elements, you will want to choose a pair that can effectively keep you safe. On the other hand, if you are seeking a new pair of sunglasses for fashion, there are many trendy options you may like that do not provide as much protection. Below are a few of the most common styles that men choose when buying sunglasses.
Aviator
Aviators were first made in the 1940's, but they became popular in the early 1980's, particularly when worn in the movie Top Gun. Tom Cruise sported a pair then, and these men's sunglasses have been a preferred style ever since. They are designed with large rectangular shaped lenses and metal rims and arms. The idea is the lenses will protect the eyes from the wind with their large shape. Many aviators offered mirrored lenses, while others are made with a light grey or green tint. Ray-Ban is a popular maker of aviator sunglasses, though top designers such as Armani also manufacturer these items. Many bikers choose these glasses because they are easy to wear with a helmet.
Rimless
Men's fashion sunglasses with no rimming are also a popular choice. These tend to look more modern than other sunglasses choices. They can be worn with casual or formal wear, and are made primarily by top end designers such as Versace and Chanel. Rimless sunglasses are usually more fragile that other options out there since there is no real protection for the lenses. The simplicity of the sunglasses makes them a perfect solution to men who do not like the look of other items.
Wrap Around
These men's sunglasses are just as they are described - they are wide and fit comfortably around the wearer's face. They are designed for men who participate in heavy-duty activities, such as biking, hiking, and water sports. These glasses fit close to the face to protect the eyes from dirt, debris, and water, depending on what conditions they are worn in. Ray-Ban is a popular maker of wraparound sunglasses. They look a bit futuristic on the face, especially compared to the traditional style of sunglasses.

Men's Fashion: How to Choose T-Shirts




Men's Fashion: How to Choose T-Shirts
The credit crunch has meant that many of us have had to pull in the purse strings of late, and one area that seems to suffer from our lack of money is our fashion. The economy has meant that clothing has taken a back seat, particularly for men. The consequences of this is that we actually have to take greater care when choosing our clothes, as a fashion faux pas cannot be rectified until the following pay day. With less money, we must consider our fashion choices much more carefully. Here, we will consider men's t-shirts, as these tend to form the focal part of any outfit and can make or break our overall look.
Size
One of the problems we have regarding sizing with men's t-shirts is that many men emulate their fathers, and in previous generations, men were less concerned with fashion, but more so with comfort, they tended to wear baggy because it felt comfy. Avoid this trap.
Style/design
There are many popular men's t-shirt designs, but in order to be truly fashionable, you should own at least one retro style t-shirt. These t-shirts are fantastically versatile, suiting many styles of clothing - although you should only wear such t-shirts in a casual setting.
Colour
Colour tends to be a big problem for men, particularly concerning fashion. In part, this is because a large proportion of men - far more than women - are actually colour-blind. If you are such a person, then seek the help of others to help you decide upon colour, as colours that appear harmonious to you, may appear to clash to people who can see the whole colour spectrum.

Glaze and Nail Art: All the Trends 2011-2012





Glaze and Nail Art: All the Trends 2011-2012
The nails this spring summer 2011 were a real riot of color and this trend, at least in part (the colors are so bright but not garish) will be with us even during the coldest months of the year. Yes: fingernails "in the fall winter 2011-2012 version of" want to appear in all their glory, in other words, they want to convey warmth and color! We begin our little journey speaking of the form that we give our nails to be trendy.
It seems that the short length is definitely OUT while the top is a medium-size, and it's a bit 'rounded and a little' stiletto; remember, however, is that these guidelines are very general. You will then evaluate you according to your need (I strongly doubt that a woman struggling with house cleaning can go around with nail-style "weapon of war," that is very long and sharp!) The style that suits, and possibly convenience
We talked about the great classics or color but black and red resist. We can find them in the very chic and elegant collection of Lancôme called 29 St. Honore, not forget that we can "play" with more traditional colors such as creating French manicure with details of the bezel red (or black) and the rest of the nail of a neutral color. (Little hint. Do not use red on the nails very long, you risk appearing vulgar)
And it is precisely this type of nail art that we see more and more frequently in its classical version (the one with the white bezel) to provide many different ideas: how about a golden French manicure and nail the rest black? The final effect is ensured.

Vintage Clothing Trend Report - Autumn-Winter 2011-2012





Vintage Clothing Trend Report - Autumn-Winter 2011-2012
We've had lots of fun scouring the AW catwalks and trend projections this month, and this next season is bursting with gorgeous ideas that are really fun to create. As always, we take a look at our favourite trends and give you some hints on how to create these looks the vintage clothing way...
Clash Prints
One of our favourites, this trend is set to run and run, opening a whole new chapter for the way we dress. Love that polka dot vintage top but want to wear your leopard print leggings? Got a gorgeous snakeskin vintage dress but fancy slipping on your new rose print heels? Well with Print Clash, there are no rules! The brighter and bolder the better, mixing florals, spots, animal prints, stripes and more! What combination will you come up with?
Forties Glam
One trend we're relishing this winter is the glorious forties. This super luxe look is all about drape, cut and showing off those curves. Classic 1940s vintage dresses are fitted at the top, often with buttons, and with gorgeous flattering mid length skirts, and bias cut evening gowns are even more glamorous. Also think accessories, feathers or flowers in the hair, fur capes and stoles, headscarves and gorgeous vintage shoes. Make every day a tea dance day this season!
Jewel Tones
This adds a gorgeous twist to the usual Christmas party frock, as well as adding some welcomed glamout to daytime dressing. Think jewel-toned colours like amber, emerald, ruby red, amethyst, sapphire and teal. For the office, team jewel tone vintage silk blouses with neat black pencil skirts. For date night go for jeans and a cute vintage jacket with some gorgeous jewel bright shoes. And of course you simply have to seek out a sexy jewel tone vintage dress for the Christmas party - whether it's a 70s chiffon maxi, a 60s micro mini, 80s clingy cocktail or a 50s wiggle dress.

Women's Hairstyles For 2012: Short Hair Trend Prediction





Women's Hairstyles For 2012: Short Hair Trend Prediction
On the other hand, if you want a longer-than-pixie short haircut, you can opt for the bob hairstyle. Adding layers to your hair will also make you look chic. For a more daring look, choose tousled and messy appearance for your bob haircut. However, if you prefer a sleeker style, a straightening iron and some styling products are the must have instruments for a perfect straight bob.
Although we have not reach 2012 yet, we can predict that the short hair trends of 2011 will still be 'in' next year. While the bob and the pixie are classic hairstyles that will never go out of date, there are still more options for you who are brave enough to wear your hair short.
2012 will still maintain longer crops and side swept bangs to accompany the short styles. For a bolder look, the more extreme cut such as punk-inspired style is predicted to exist.
Instead of plain colored hair, it seems that 2012 is the year of colors. More highlights will be given for more definitive short hairstyle. Besides that, women are also encouraged for dyeing their hair for a fancier touch. For a more festive touch, feather hair extensions which have become a trend in 2011 can still occur in 2012 for adorning and defining short hairstyles.

Fur Fashion Trends 2011-2012 - Six Most Important Trends




Fur Fashion Trends 2011-2012 - Six Most Important Trends
major fur trends from the international runways.
• Color was one of the most exciting and newest trends to emerge from the runways as designers opted for a palette of vivid playful bright colors, soft frosted pales and a range of intensely saturated jewel tones. Most commercial colors highlighted here are the use of poppy red, bright teal and the darker mallard green shades, all worked on piled furs. Key shapes to note are the vintage jackets with 40s and 70s overtones, both key eras for inspiration next winter.

• Vintage influences were the strongest trend direction from all four of the fashion capitals as designers opted for the safety net of the past for inspiration. The 20s and 30s were a strong tipping point for looks that concentrated on plush fur trims and dropped waist silhouettes. The 60s and 70s were the other key style decades plundered for next winter.

• The season's mood of confidence also came through in the dramatic furs that headlined on the runways. It was all about the extravagant texture of furs like goat and Mongolian lamb - both fitting retro 60s and 70s silhouettes - or the elegant luxury of full furs like fox and mink, key to the vintage 30s and 40s look. Key silhouettes include the cropped jacket, especially in fox, the big shrug-on coat or jacket and the cape There was also a huge amount of lamb in every texture and weight, worked into commercial sports-driven looks like the shell top and zip-up coat

• And the mood of confidence came through too in the bold use of mixed furs, as designers put contrasting textures together to create textural dimension within a silhouette. That means flat silky furs like persian lamb combined with mink, arctic fox with sheared mink and feathered fox or mink with the opposing texture of furs like raccoon. Watch also for color-blocking as part of this look, especially the bold geometric Constructivist-inspired looks as seen at Celine, fitting the season's mood for all things 30s.

The patterns can be very intricate and may depict a story or showcase various themes. Common designs include bamboo, plum trees, and dragons.
Designers in Europe and the Americas have recognized the beauty of the traditional Japanese dress and are integrating its design elements into their Western fashion collections. For example, wrap-front dresses with elongated hemlines and wide sleeves borrow from the pattern of kimonos. They combine the familiarity of modern Western dress wear with the exoticism of Eastern fashion. Asian-inspired threaded, painted, and printed designs in complimentary colours bring a bit of foreign loveliness to dresses cut in traditionally European styles.
