Spring 2006 Must Haves
by: Mary Bailis
It is amazing how fast the stores liquidate the winter clothing lines.
It is a great time of year to shop and get some great deals.
The sad part is, if you really need some new winter clothes, you don't have much time to get them.
Hitting all the stores are all the spring lines.
You will see plenty of a feminine touch to very artful accessories.
I love looking feminine, remember the grunge look or clothes that looked like men's clothes.
Yuk! Lace is very big, applique accents are plentiful, lots of straw handbags are everywhere and last but not least, a big pom pom craze have attached themselves to all accessories.
What a mix!
This season is all about lace. I am talking about crocheted cotton lace, the kind your great grandmother wore. Think of the old doilies she used to make. Lace is on everything these days from clothing, handbags and the rest of the accessories. You will see handbags made out of it or adorned with it.
It is made into lightweight flowy scarves. Bangles are big and covered in lace with matching necklaces and earrings. The necklaces have lace beaded into it, beaded with lacey disk beads or lacey beads themselves. It will not be hard to find a great shirt with lace on the top and accessorize it with matching earrings, necklaces, scarves or handbags.
Use them tastefully together but don't go overboard. A little of each goes a long way. Handmade is big in this category so don't go looking only at stores; keep those art shows in mind for that unique great find.
Accessories are very 3D with applique accents.
Artfully done handbags are covered with them. Shear scarves are hot and they will have the applique accents on them as a new twist. It is amazing how jewelry can jump in to any fashion item that is hot and incorporate it into a fabulous piece.
I have seen many necklaces where flower appique's are beaded into them.
You will see a crossover with lace here and the two will go so well together. They are very vintage looking and very in.
Handbags, a favorite of mine, are hitting the shelves big time in straw.
Straw is always a favorite for the spring and summer but this time you will see some new twists to the old standby.
There are many colors and weaves.
Some fabulous styles are out there.
Look for not only straw, but leather and vinyl weaved into a straw look will be big. Leather and vinal weaves look like straw but are more durable.
They are coming in many shapes, sizes and colors.
Contrasting handles, trims and applique's make these a fabulous must have this season. Again, you will see a crossover in this category with the applique's.
Applique's are covering straw handbags.
Along with the lace this season, you will see crochet accessories with crocheted or fuzzy pom poms.
They are all the rage for the season. You will find crocheted or knit handbags covered in pom poms. Handbags will also be accessorized in them.
Artful necklaces and scarves are made out of pom poms. Fabric or crocheted belts have pom pom tasselson the ends of them. It is endless pom poms frezy everywhere! I wouldn't doubt that there will be plenty of tops with pom poms.
The weather may not be warm enough or the flower's and tree's are not budding yet. One thing is for certain, the store's are just blooming with the great spring lines. Have fun shopping and get your lace, applique's, straw handbags and pom poms while they are hot!

What Your Handbags Say About You
by: Cathy Feldman
You can tell a lot about a person from the clothes they wear, but you can also tell a lot about a person simply from the handbags they carry. It’s hard to believe, but you can find out a number of things about a women’s personality just by looking at the type of handbag she sports.

Burberry Handbags -Information When Shopping for Burberry Handbags
by: Joseph Wunsch
Burberry, maker of the classic trench coat and plaid scarf, has transformed itself into one of the hottest brands in fashion today making Burberry Handbags. The Burberry Handbag is a mainstay of high fashion, so much so many companies have started making replica Burberry handbags.
Burberry was founded in 1856 by 21 year old Thomas Burberry a apprentice to a country draper in England. He started by opening a outfitters shop. Originally known as an outdoor wear manufacturer, Burberry invented Gabardine which is a breathable, waterproof fabric that is made by waterproofing the yarn prior to weaving.

Build Up Your Self Confidence by using Simple Fashion & Beauty Tips
by: Donna McAlister
You are feeling good about yourself and you want to show the world that you have something to offer. You feel that way inside but you look says something totally different. How to get the outside to match how you feel on the inside? Well you have got to ?Dress for Success?.
But how do you accomplish this? Number one you have got the dress the part and by dressing for the part I mean that you have got to dress for the job, career, or business that you want, not for the one that you currently have. Example if you wanted to be a successful Hair Stylish, you have got to look like you have your hair in order. Would want to go to a Hair Stylist whose hair was always a mess? I don?t think so. This analogy could be used in just about every profession.
Now this does not mean that you have got to go out and spend an exceptional amount of money to get a whole...
