1. Wear clothes that impress.
“I like to say that every day is showtime,” says Los Angeles public relations guru Harris Shepard.
Bosses we spoke with around the country agree: The trend is to look “pulled together” (a phrase that came up again and again). Choose the more tailored option—the pants, not the capris; the shirtdress, not the sundress. A no-fail rule from designer Liz Lange:
“Dress like the women execs at your company.”
And if they wear hose, so should you

Tips how to flatter your figure
We can’t all be blessed with a perfect figure. However, we can wear clothes that emphasize our good points and disguise our so called bad points.
Two woman with identical bodies can look dramatically different in both size and shape simply because of the clothes they’re wearing. But how can you make the most of your body? Check out these rules to make your figure look fabulous…
1. Use light and dark colours to make your body appear more in proportion.
For example a woman with big hips and a small bust should wear slimming dark trousers or skirt and size creating light colours up top. This two pronged attack can make a huge difference to how you body looks.
2. Use horizontal and vertical stripes to widen and lengthen.
For example if you’re overweight, never wear clothes with stripes going across. This will make you seem even bigger than you are. Instead try to wear clothes with stripes going down. This will make you seem taller and as a result less dumpy.
3. Use bright colours or patterns to draw attention away from problem areas.
For example if you have a bum the size of a small country, wear a colourful or patterned top. This will help keep eyes away from your oversized natural cushion.
4. Stay away from tapered legged trousers.
Unless you have great thighs and buttocks, trousers that come in at the bottom will make you seem much fatter than you are. Trousers which are wide at the bottom will make your legs seem thinner and longer, hence the popularity of flared bottomed jeans.
5. Use scarves and pashmenas to hide, cover and emphasize.
For example a scarf around you neck will draw attention to your upper body. This can be ideal if you’re particularly heavy lower down.
6. Don’t wear clothes that are too small for you.
Fat spilling over the sides of tops and trousers is not a good look. It doesn’t make you look thinner and it definitely isn’t attractive. If you are in between sizes buy the bigger one and have it altered to fit.
7. Heels
They can make your legs look considerably longer, your bum considerably smaller and your overall appearance considerably better. They’re not for every occasion but a woman without a great pair of heels in her wardrobe is missing out on the best figure flatterer around.
One-piece S/S 2010 swimwear fashion
Bikinis are so 2009.
Judging by the catwalk shows at Miami Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim, Spring/Summer 2010 will be all about one-piece suits.
Miami FW shows traditionally set trends for the next season swimwear styles and designs, so get ready to see less bikinis but more body covering but still sexy and exposing swimsuits.

Clutch Performer
Here, in a nutshell, is the problem with a clutch: It requires clutching. And, speaking as a temporary member of the 1.25-handed community , that clutching business can be a real drag.
So I was psyched to find out that Made Her Think designer Meredith Kahn is launching a capsule collection of bags based on the Fall ‘09 Made Her Think clutch that’s been haunting my dreams.
“All my friends were like, you’ve got to do something with straps,” explains Kahn, who has obliged her pals by designing six washed leather shoulder bags decorated with brass hardware.
(Plus one belt, and a brass/leather boot bracelet.) For now, Kahn is planning to limit sales of the bags to private orders, and prices will range from approximately $700 to $1,200; visit www.madeherthink.com to get yours.
“I’m dipping my toe in the water,” she notes. “My focus is still on making jewelry. But I always told myself that when I got to my fifth anniversary of the brand, I’d do bags, and then it just turned out that five years along was the right time.”

Wearable Fashion Trend for Fall -Winter 2009/2010 – Black color
Wearable fall fashion trend #1 is black.
Black’s a neutral color, and it can go with anything, but this fall there will be even more all-black looks than usual, which is good news for petites who like to use a monochromic approach to dressing so that they can look longer and leaner.
