<![CDATA[Buying fashion items need not be long day at the shopping mall for you girls, as the world of fashion is at your fingertips on the internet.

The range of websites offering clothes — dresses, shorts, skirts, tops and shoes — is vast, and if you want accessories there are websites that offer bags, watches, sunglasses and more galore, with a simple web search all you need to find an array of items available to buy without leaving the house.

For dresses the choice is amazing, from high street to designer the internet offers a wide choice of styles, prices, colours and cuts, and the process is easy to use and easy to learn. If you know your size, simply look among the stock available at a number of websites — a quick search on one of the many search engines will give you plenty of sites to browse — in their on-line catalogues and choose the items you require.

Safe and secure

Paying on line is safe and secure if you make sure you are using a reputable and reliable supplier — many are household names so easily recognisable — and delivery is swift and efficient, and to your door. If the item has not been worn, most reputable suppliers will allow you to return in a given time, just like a high street shop.

Skirts, shorts, tops and more are on offer at hundreds of shops on the internet, and you can not go wrong if it is a watch you are looking for, either.

Again you have an almost unbelievable choice, with high street names alongside specialist watchmakers and suppliers bringing you choice from the humblest, simplest everyday watch to the bespoke, quality Swiss engineered item costing more than an average house! Of course, you will find what you are looking for, and receive it at your home by courier a day or two after paying for it on line. It could not be easier.

Summer means shades

With summer underway, sunglasses are a must for the girl about town, and again the internet offers an incredible array of styles, prices, colours and variety, from the prescription sunglasses offered by many high street opticians to the designer items from well known names in the fashion world. A simple search will find your desired item, and the ease of shopping on the internet will be apparent in the short time it takes to complete the purchase.

Shoes and bags are the girls favourite buy, and the range available on the web is simply breathtaking; again, high street mixes with designer, and the price range is phenomenal. If you want high heels, strapless, stiletto of flat you can find it in a shoe; if you want leather, synthetic, crocodile or kangaroo you can find it in a bag! And again, no need to leave the house, no hours trawling around the stores on a hot day when you could be enjoying the weather.

<![CDATA[We were asked to offer a critical review on current styles and future trends for silk neckties by Fibre2 fashion. So we got to the core.

What are the elements of a good Necktie?
First of all, the proportions, blade width and length, should be 85mm to 90mm x 1540 to 1560mm long. The chosen fabric must incorporate a balance of colour pattern and texture. There is also the quality of interlining. Many consider 100% wool to be best; however, it reacts greatly with atmospheric changes absorbing moisture and can buckle your tie.

According to seasoned tie makers wool blends are the best, they also recommend taffeta tipping instead of silk because it adds weight to the end of ties so it will hang better.

What are the trends that are currently in vogue in neckties?
The current trends vary from brand to brand. There is a strong generic flavour inherent in most mainline brands; stripes are the strongest and most popular, then there are polka dots, some paisley and interesting geometric shapes, the colours, still blues and reds for conservatism.

There’re very few floral’s on the market, they too are generic, which sums up the current state of the market, everything is pretty much the same. There is a large niche to filled and customers wanting to buy, but few retailers are willing to take the gamble of being truly different.

Where do you see the market for neckties in the next 5 years?
Women’s fashion always has strong influences on men’s fashion, only it is watered down to masculine acceptance. Spring summer 2009 is going to be alive with floral’s for men and women. The skinny tie has withered away and the traditional broader style is back in vogue as always.

The next five years will see men making more of their own choices of clothing style, especially accessories. The demand for luxury, bespoke, handmade silk ties is steadily growing and helping keep a long standing English weaving and manufacturing industry alive.

In keeping with Jean Patou and French designer of the 1920’s who used women’s dress fabric material for his ties and had them displayed next to women’s cosmetic sections. They were a huge hit, so we took a leaf out of his book and thought it time for a return to floral ties in the tradition of Jean Patou.

The brands to watch over the next five years are Vivienne Westwood, Timothy Everest, Victoria Richards and Patrick McMurray; they are true independent’s that set standards of style at both ends of the scale.

What are the points that one should keep in mind in choosing a necktie?
Firstly, the value is in the product not the name. Depending on ones budget, feel for the weight of the tie, rub the fabric gently between your fingers and you can judge quite easily the density of silk and lining.

A well designed tie, apart from construction, should contain the right balance of colour, pattern and texture regardless of style type.

You can expect to pay about £45 and upwards for a good quality tie handmade in England, be ware of imitations and counterfeits, the internet is rife.

How much does a necktie contribute to the style quotient of a person?
A silk tie is the epitome of male self expression; it reflects his mood and character and brings a collection of clothing together. In fact, rather than being classified as an accessory, it becomes a central focal point for comment.

How has public attitude towards neckties changed in the last decade?
In the fashion industry attitudes are changing all the time, concurrent with fashion itself, there was the dress down era, now we are returning to the dress up and dandy era, so as styles change so do attitudes.

Purveyor of finely crafted men's fashion accessories: designer silk ties, jewellery, handmade silver cufflinks & leather wallets and gifts, by British Designers, like, Vivienne Westwood, Timothy Everest, Ian Flaherty, Veritas Gifts, LBB London, and Shane McCoubrey.

<![CDATA[Mail

The earliest form of medieval armor -- mail (a.k.a. "chain mail") -- traces its origins back to around 500 BC. The Celtic people developed this kind of armor -- iron rings woven together into a protective garment -- and the Roman Army later copied this engineering to protect its soldiers. In the early Medieval Ages, armor craftsmen added discs, plates, and groin caps to standard mail gear to protect vulnerable areas. Leather coats, kneecaps, underarm protectors (a.k.a. "besagews"), and skullcaps (such as early forms of the bassinet) all provided critical support for soldiers as well.

As the Middle Ages progressed, however, advanced new weapons -- like the crossbow, battle-axe, long bow, and mace -- gained popularity among warriors, making mail and even plated mail far less effective at defense.

Plate Armor

The full body suit of armor that is typically conjured up when one imagines King Arthur at the Round Table didn't come into being all at once; rather, it evolved over hundreds of years to meet the latest technological advances in weaponry. After the advent of such weapons as hand cannon and crossbows in the 1500s, warriors began adding plated armor to their battle gear, shielding more and more parts of their body with steel.

As early firearms made their way onto the battlefield, armored knights responded by adding yet more protection and plating. In a sense, the Middle Ages saw a kind of "arms race"; as weapon strength increased, so did armor strength. By the 18th century, the firepower had become so devastating that even heavy suits of tempered steel armor were no longer sufficient to protect infantrymen.

Armor for Horses

Knights provided a kind of armor called "barding" for their steeds. This metal plate protection served a dual purpose. On the one hand, it provided practical resistance against all manner of firearms, swords, axes, maces, and the like. On the other hand, it served an aesthetic purpose. Gilded barding announced a knight's social position and served as a badge of ownership. Cavalry armor for the steeds included helmets, back plates, and central steel pieces.

Shields

The medieval soldier's shield armor likewise evolved over the course of the centuries to respond to developments in offensive weaponry. In the early Middle Ages, medieval warriors used wooden shields covered in leather (or other soft material). As advanced bows and weapons made their way onto the battlefield, however, soft shields proved ineffectual. Craftsmen began to incorporate iron and steel support in shield designs.

Shields also became status symbols, reflecting a given knight's social position, family heraldry, and other key identifying aspects. Some aristocrats and artisans decorated their shields with elaborate designs, jewels, and other adornments. The shield evolved to be much more than just a functional piece of defensive equipment. It became a key social signifier of rank. Interestingly, as the aforementioned "arms race" between plate armor and offensive weapons built to its climax during the late Middle Ages, shields became less and less common -- simply because they became redundant (and also because they were expensive and heavy to carry around).

Offensive Uses of Medieval Armor

While most people today think of armored pieces like helmets, chain mail, shields, and plating to be purely defensive mechanisms, these items, in fact, were often used to devastating effect as aggressive weapons. Well-trained knights would wield heavy shields as battering rams, engaging in complex military ballet. True, knights had their fair share of purely "aggressive" weapons, such as battle hammers, swords (which could weigh in at well over 35 pounds), lances, and maces. However, on the medieval battlefields during hand-to-hand combat, anything could become a weapon. A helmet designed merely to shield against blows to the head could, for instance, suddenly be transformed into lethal projectile in close combat.

The aesthetics and functions of medieval armor suits, shields, and defensive weapons varied widely, not just from decade to decade, but also from region to region. Styles came and went relatively rapidly; military historians can speak volumes about the evolution of European cultures simply by looking at how specific defensive artifacts spread from group to group throughout the Middle Ages.

<![CDATA[Summer pool parties and trips to the beach encourage the tropical fashion trends year after year with all the amazing Hawaiian patterns available today. Now that the summer season is in full swing how do you pick the perfect dress for all your social events? Here are a few tips to help pick the perfect summer dress to impress all your Hawaiian attire socialites.

Always pick colors that complement your skin tone, eyes and hair color when choosing a new summer dress. Another thing to keep in mind are the local colors in your environment; if you live in a desert type area then patterns with brown hues make a stylish fashion statement. Blondes take note if you live in one of these areas because tan & brown will complement your hair color too. Darker hair goes great with vibrant patterns with a strong base color such as red.

Keep in mind the climate where you live or are going on vacation to because even though summer is the hot time of year the evening is cool in many places including southern California. Although Hawaiian dresses are designed to keep you cool in hot weather you may opt for a sleeved style over spaghetti straps if you get cold easily and will be out at night.

Accessories make a huge fashion statement which will garner great attention but keep style top of mind to fit with your dress. Wear a matching shawl, purse or handbag to help bring out the tropical pattern of your summer dress. Necklaces that match one color will emphasize your dress style and don't be surprised if you start to hear whispers. Jewelry accessories are a great addition to a summer dress too. Beaded necklaces, bracelets or earrings will complement your Hawaiian wear and up your style by few points with onlookers. Make sure there is a shared color between the jewelry and tropical summer dress pattern otherwise the two will clash.

Hawaiian dresses are a summertime favorite for everyday wear and social get togethers with friends. Unlimited styles are available from long to short dresses and tie dye patterns to tropical scenery bring the fabric to life. Island attire usually originates from Hawaii, the Caribbean and Southern California but you don't have to travel to one of these destinations to enjoy your favorite tropical fashion. Boutiques and online stores have awakened to the high demand of Hawaiian attire so you can enjoy aloha clothing wherever you reside.

Tropical Tantrum carries a tremendous selection of Hawaiian dresses and island wedding dresses so you get the perfect summer dress.]]>

<![CDATA[What is the point of loungewear? After all we have we have set clothing for work, for bed, for weddings, for playing sport, some of us even have certain clothing that we always wear for travelling or dropping the kids at school or going for a walk. Why on earth do we need another wardrobe essential.

If you start with a definition of loungewear as articles of clothing suitable for wearing during leisure time. Maybe we should explore the notion of leisure or leisure time itself? The word leisure originates from the Latin word licere, meaning "to be permitted" or "to be free", via Old French, leisir and according to Wikipedia appeared as early as the fourteenth century. According the late Professor Emeritus from the City University of New York, John Neulinger, for an experience to qualify as leisure it must meet three criteria: 1) The experience to be a state of mind. 2) It must be entered into without constraint and therefore voluntarily. 3) It must be both intrinsically and extrinsically motivating.

This feels like a good thing, but in the 24/7, kids, school run's, husbands, to-do lists, proliferation of blackberry's and mobiles life we all lead how do we actually make leisure time happen? Perhaps this is where Loungewear comes into its own. Not only is it a useful style of clothing for doing not very much in, loosely fitted, comfortable, easy to wear, easy to wash, elegant but the very fact of putting it on prompts a part of our brain to stop, to slow down and leave the lists, the homework, the present wrapping and the washing and just relax.

The growth of loungewear brands around the globe (notably Australia and the US and latterly the UK) have meant that the sector and thus the clothing just gets better and better. Long gone are the somewhat dumpy slouch trousers with elasticised waists and tapered legs that do nothing for anyone, or the oversize pyjama style shirt tops that make you look like you've borrowed your grandfathers old flannelette shirt and in a rush of madness decided to print cute teddy bears on it. Instead we've seen the introduction of flattering shapes, gorgeous jersey fabrics that drape wonderfully and are easy to wash, superior cut and finish and finally some brands that have made it their business to drag the sector into the forefront of peoples minds.

There is a point to loungewear. If you believe that a good life is a life with balance then investing in something that helps you slow down, switch off, lay back and relax can only be a profoundly good thing.

<![CDATA[Cotton and other natural fiber suits are certainly being seen more and more in spring/summer collections. Finding that there is something romantic about them, perhaps a nod to another era. High-end designers like Giorgio Armani, Paul Smith and Etro added cotton suits to their collections. This could be a trend that we will be expecting for years to come. Hoping so since it is a look mens love. What's more, cotton suits are such a great alternative to summer weight wools. They are easily incorporated into a wardrobe as they can be worn with a tee as well as a shirt and tie. A pair of fabulous dress shoes or fashion sneakers, what ever your style, will end off this fabulous summer wardrobe essentials. Also keep in mind that the cotton suits offered now are more elegant and well-grown making them better suited for the office or an evening out as opposed to the the cocktail parties look found in years past. But let me remind you, if you are still building a basic, functional wardrobe, stick with classic suit fabrics such as worsted wools. Lauren Deatherage, Cotton Incorporated's product trend analyst for menswear says, "Cotton suiting is a key-trend for spring/summer 2006. It can be incorporated into all men's trend themes. From preppy to edgy, it's all about personal style and accessories. A khaki-colored, twill suit with a bright polo is perfect for Sunday brunch, while a slim-fit suit jacket can be worn with the season's must-have skinny jeans and a T-shirt for a downtown, rock and roll adaptation." American designer Daniel Silver of Duckie Brown says "cotton suiting is perfect, not only for summer, but the transitional months before and after. To add to the versatility, a cotton suit can easily parted into pieces". According to research conducted by Cotton Incorporated, 56.8% of men will pay more for higher quality clothing and 58.7% think natural fibers are best fabric option. As to be expected, the renewed interest in cotton suiting has "trickled-down." Mid-priced designers like Penguin and Brooks Brothers have cotton-twill and seersucker options. Lower-end companies such as Banana Republic and Target have their own versions as well. So no matter what your price-point or personal style, there is a cotton suit out there for you.
