FASHION

The main rules of a fashion-conscious woman.

A woman is unpredictable. Today she wants to be a society lioness, tomorrow she will want to be a country-girl or maybe a "bluestocking", in modern meaning of this word. There is a gooв news for women of fashion: winter 2009 tendencies let you be as different as you can amagine.


You should buy immediately:
Lacy panty hose, that is шт fashion again this season. Patterns can be various from simple netting to intricate floral ornament.











Bring back to wardrobe:
Leopard print clothing. It is a fashion trend that has steadily grown this fall, and will continue to be prominent through the winter and spring 2009. One way that the animal print trend is developing is that it now includes other animal skins, for example, cheetah, zebra, jaguar, ocelot, cow, giraffe or tiger.







Pay attention to:
Combination of red and blue colors and chequered clothes. English style is extremely fashionable this season. Checkered coats, handbags and scarf are the hit of this season.








Look for inspiration in:
Men's accessories. Put on an ascot without doubts. You will look very sexy wearing suspenders cuff links, studs and hat in man style.

Threre are various styles of handbags to every taste – strict, business-like, pretty feminine or chic. Every woman will find her own style.

The elements of this trend include fringed boots, folk-inspired tooled leather pieces, charm belts and jewelry, embroidery and paisley prints.

As we have already mentioned tartan and check are the trends of this season. We see plaid patterns on anything: skirts, jackets, dresses, blouses. Rather than the traditional red tartans, 2009’s check embraces a palette of muted greys, blues, greens and browns.

Winter 2008-2009 shoe trends are bold, sparkling and sometimes a little wild and extreme.




If you have chosen skirts instead of pants you should notice a change which fits in with the season. Skirts are longer a little just below the knee. Of course, miniskirts are very popular among young girls. But there are fewer of them now. Besides lace is extremely fashionable again this season.

Winter is cold and of course you can't do without a warm cardigan. This season designers have returned pastel shades to fashion. It is chic and looks perfect on every woman.

We have seen a lot of fur clothes as well as fur embellishments. Fur collars are extremely popular and are seen in many collections.

It is part peasant, part sex-goddess rock chic. It has its roots in traditional folk elements - particularly Russian ones - but it fuses in luxury elements and rock-chic attitude.

It's very difficult to set our choice on one pair of footwear. There are too much shoes that are in fashion this season!

The variety of stylish boots and booties is so big that we don't know where to look first. Fashion of Winter 2009 sets a very difficul problem that we have to solve anyway :)
Varnish and sued boots, fringed cowboy boots, bright womanly booties, rough manly booties... No matter what style of footwear you choose it will be your perfect shoes and you will look pretty and fashionable.

The simple graphics.

Penciling eyes with black eyeshades is very popular again this season. Black and dark grey lines in make-up are very topical now. There is no need to shade the lines, clearness is the most important thing.



The pencil line has to run strictly along eyelashes. A whitish blank is a serious makeup mistake.

Equal adversaries.
As we know opposites are attracted to each other.
Black clothes perfectly get on with bright ones this season, laconic clothes get on with superfluous, tight-fitting get on with puffed clothes. The modernes designers and modellers are assured that all these shapes andstyles have the right to a life this fall-winter 2008-2009.

Pants Fashion 2009. TROUSERS Tendency.

Despite the resurgence in dresses, many women like to wear trousers everyday. Pants are practical for the business woman and manlike looks always change to classic style.

The 2 fashionable autumn styles are the easy high waisted flared pants from boot cut to the widest 1970s flares.

But the style getting attention is a slim line version of the peg-top trouser line, which was in fashio in 1980sn. These peg-top pants sometimes now called CARROT SHAPED TROUSERS taper to the ankle, and usually have tuck pleat fullness at the waistband. This style can be very flattering if you have a paunch. Note that too much fullness can make a woman look frumpy. Yves saint Laurent as the centre image shows, did it best. This was sharp and sophisticated designing.

So on-trend, carrot-shaped trousers are not easy to pull off. Experiment with the look and don this pair from H&M teamed with sharp shirts...

Finally the skinny leather pant is a catwalk fashion coming to a shop near you this autumn.

Fashion Shoes 2009

Fringes boots, flats and pumps, bags and accessories are extremely fashionable this season. Pocahontis-style, with tassels and fashionable fringing on fall’s shoe-boots and winter footwear, and summer slingback sandals are very popular.

Gucci’s fall 2008 collection shows hobo shoulder bags and Russian Cossack-style long fringe-tassel boots with flying leather fringes on them. Fringed boots are the defining feature of the trend, with other details like studs and tooled leather adding to the crafty, bohemian feel.

From pendants to scarves and tassel belts, there is a big amount of products to choose from if you just want to get dressed in the trend.

Some say we have to blame Kate Moss for fringed obsession. She loves moccasin boots so much that it caused them to stay on the fashion top.

Tight pants, futuristic jacket and boots on a platform sole. In that superhero attire you will not be affraid of going on struggle against forces of evil.

You manage to reach from one side of the city to another in 30 minutes, despite of traffic jam, solving all business problems at the same time, taking your child from the school and not forgeting to help your best girlfriend with her love affair. A big city life means that you have to possess qualities of a real superhero. And though you can't fly like the Batman, top with "bat" sleeves and magic steel bracelets will help you to find supernatural powers.
