“Holiday Cocktail Dresses”Holiday season is fast approaching, which means it is time for holiday parties, office parties and charity events.  As all women know, this means the search for cocktail dresses is going to begin.  It is always difficult to find something that will be unique but still versatile, because if you are anything like me you have to find cocktail dresses that are not only appropriate for office functions, but still fun and sexy enough for friendly get togethers.

There are many options when it comes to holiday cocktail dresses.  One can purchase relatively inexpensive dresses from department stores and other mall stores, especially during big sales or markdown periods.  Other places to find cocktail dresses include specialty dress stores or bridal salons, which offer more customer service and a different selection than standard stores, but it all comes at a price.  Dresses from these stores generally will be more expensive, but again if you can catch a sale you can get a deal.  If you are really looking for a different outfit, though, this type of store will be the place to go.  However, you can also find higher end holiday cocktail dresses at some department stores, and these dresses will be well made and somewhat rarer due to their cost if you are willing to spend the money.

One of the best solutions for a versatile dress is a simple black wrap dress.  While they look plain on the hanger, if they are worn with dressy accessories they can look fantastic and classy.  Wear more conservative jewelry for those office functions, but wear more trendy and daring accessories for those friendly parties.  This type of dress can generally be found for a relatively inexpensive price, but they can be worn for years to come to just about any function you can think of.

If you want to be more daring, go for glitz and glamor.  Which is very in for winter 2007 and 2008 Holiday Parties. Shiny shimmery, or sequin dresses are very in for  holiday Cocktail dresses this season.

Some are available in strapless, spaghetti strap and even long sleeved styles, so you are surely going to be able to find something that suits both your needs and personality. Other cocktail dresses can be dressed  up with a silk or beaded top and great jewelry and you will fit right in.  There really are no rules when it comes to evening wear, so if you feel comfortable in an outfit and feel it reflects you, go for it!  It isn’t taboo any more to wear pants, either, if that more suits your style.

“Faux Fur Coats”

Many people are ethically opposed to wearing animal fur but still want to enjoy the look and feel of fur. The next best thing to real fur is the faux fur coat, faux meaning fake in the French language. Some customers want the garments to look as real as possible whilst others actually want it to look like imitation fur. They don’t want to be accused of wearing animal fur when they are not. It has been known for anti-fur protesters to throw paint over fur clothes. This type of faux item is possibly the only one where looking fake is encouraged. We will see many faux fur items this winter 2007 and 2008 season since fur is a very popular winter fashion trend for this season.

The quality of faux varies, according to the materials used, whether they are hand finished and the cost involved. The faux fur coat and other clothes are usually made from a blend of acrylic and polyester or acrylic alone. Some manufacturers use a high quality acrylic, which gives a softer feel, with a more realistic looking pile. In addition to full length and three quarter length coats, there are fake jackets, wraps, stoles, capes, shrugs and boleros. Hats, scarves and muffs are also popular. It’s not just for the ladies either; there is also a range for men and children.

Some items are specially made for the wedding market. Brides who are anti-fur still want to look a million dollars and a winter wedding is a great excuse to wrap a white bolero around the wedding dress. There is a sexy wear range too, notable for the use of a lot of pink fur! Eyeshades are also available, in ocelot or zebra prints.

There are many actresses and fashion models today that make a stand against animal fur and who also want to promote the use of the faux fur coat. One such celebrity is English actress Liz Hurley who has posed for photographs, wearing an attractive artificial mink stole.

There is a great deal of variety in styles and color when it comes to the faux fur coat and other fake clothing. Real animal furs are replicated to resemble leopard, mink, husky, African cheetah, fox, chinchilla and silver fox. Colors include the classic white, beige or gray or the more adventurous red and pink.

The only negative element for animal lovers is the fact that some real fur items are being sold under the pretence of being fake. Some imports from China have turned out to be skins taken from dogs and cats. This practice must be nipped in the bud for the continuing success of the faux fur coat industry.

“Authentic Designer Handbags”

If you are into fashion and have to have the right look, you probably are always on the hunt for great deals on authentic designer handbags. Though I don’t quite understand this, as I couldn’t really care much either way, I do think that if it is important to you have them that you should by all means get a few. This is a problem though, because many of them are very expensive. I like a bag for the way it looks, not for the name, so I don’t have to worry about having a lot of money for a purse, but that doesn’t mean everyone is happy this way.

Authentic designer handbags are often much more expensive that what many of us can afford. Some women will save up to get one, and there have even been waiting lists for designer  bags that have not hit the market yet but were perhaps seen on the runways or the like. These authentic designer handbags are often popular just because of the designer name or perhaps because someone famous has been seen carrying one. If you want one, but don’t have a lot of cash, you have two options. You can save up, or you can buy a knockoff.

Though there are some women who can buy knockoffs and pass them off as authentic designer handbags, but most people simply want to have the real thing. If you can’t stand the thought of a knockoff, you should consider that if you really want to get those authentic designer handbags you had better start saving up. You can always charge it on a credit card, but you will have that hanging over your head for a long time. Buy the time you pay it off the bag you wanted, it might have already gone out of style and found a home in your closet.

There is an upside to authentic designer handbags that goes beyond image or style. They are quite often made with the best of materials and they are made to last. If you spend a lot of money on a bag, it had better hold up to just about anything. You will also find that authentic designer handbags are also stitched more securely, and you won’t be able to find anything about them that doesn’t look right. If you have bought one and something looks off or perhaps there is a bad stitch, you might want to consider you have been sold a knockoff at designer prices.

My favorite time of year will soon be just around the corner. You guessed it Christmas time, and with Christmas time comes Holiday Shopping. I live in Chicago so around Christmas time there’s snow on the ground and the scenery around town is such a sight. So with Christmas just around the corner here are some great Christmas Shopping Tips.

Christmas Shopping Tips

• Always start early- The new date to actually start Christmas Shopping was November 3. Most people begin holiday shopping the day after Thanksgiving, which is why it is always crowded. Avoid the rush and get a head start this year. Many companies actually had sales yesterday (November 3) to get consumers shopping earlier. Some even called it the new black Friday( day after thanksgiving).
  
• Know what to buy- It might be kinda late for this tip but always know what to purchase for each person before heading to the stores. If you like surprising people listen throughout the year at things they might want for Christmas and surprise them with it. I know everyone is busy during this time of year by try circling things that you might want to purchase . This cuts down on over spending.
• Gift Cards- This might sound a little impersonal but gift cards are a great way to go if you don’t know what to purchase a person. Especially for teenagers. Always get one from that person’s favorite store and they will be sure to buy something they love. You can never go wrong with gift cards.
  
• Make Christmas Shopping fun, go with a friend, wear your favorite holiday themed shirt or sweater and relax. Shopping for other people should be fun . Sit down purchase some holiday themed hot chocolate or coffee and people watch. Sometimes it just nice to people watch or look at the holiday decorations displayed around the mall.
• Most importantly if you hate Christmas Shopping don’t be afraid to purchase items online. Gift Baskets, clothes, there are so many places these days that will allow you to purchase the present on line and get it shipped out way before Christmas, and in some cases the day before.
