<![CDATA[Teenagers, those fashionable free spenders, are starting to feel the economy’s pinch. They’re cutting back on their purchases of low-rise jeans, long-sleeve tees and velour yoga pants.
A manager helps a shopper at d.e.m.o. in Taylor, Mich.

As a result, some of the retailers that cater to them are facing a post-holiday meltdown. Chains such as Shopyop (shopyop.com) and Abercrombie & Fitch (abercrombie.com) are struggling to stay trendy and profitable at the same time.

Another one, Gadzooks (GADZ), on Tuesday filed for bankruptcy-court protection. Struggling to survive, the Dallas-based chain said it will reorganize and shrink from 410 stores to about 252 in coming weeks. Last summer, the retailer shed its clothes for guys to concentrate on girls and women ages 16 to 22. But sales declines continued, and in December the chain’s sales were down 25% at stores open at least a year.

Overall teen apparel purchases dropped 12.5% to $19.9 billion for the year ended November 2003 compared with the same period in 2002, according to data from market information company NPD Group. Retail industry experts say cities and malls are bound to feel the pinch as more chains start shuttering stores and rethinking their youthful strategies.

<![CDATA[Halloween's the one time of the year adults get to play dress-up. Whether you are attending a raging Halloween Block Party (like the West Hollywood Street Fair held every year on Santa Monica Boulevard) or a subdued house party (while the kids go out trick-or-treating), here are some ideas to help you fashion the ultimate costume.

Let your inner id speak. Even if it's been 30 years since you actually went door-to-door asking strangers for candy, you likely harbor secret dress-up desires. Maybe you want to be a wolf because that costume "speaks to your inner totem." Maybe you want to dress-up to terrify your roommate. Whatever you choose, let it be an expression of some fundamental desire that you keep repressed during the other 364 days of the year.

Aim for the satirical. Halloween is a great opportunity to send up popular politicians or cultural figures or otherwise make commentary about modern life. During the height of the recent North Korean nuclear standoff, for instance, one couple dressed-up as Kim Jong-Il and his nuclear weapon. Of course, you don't need to make a political statement with your outfit. But you will get a lot of laughs if you do something original and unexpected. For instance, you might want to dress-up like the personal injury lawyer you see advertised on the back of the phonebook.

Go cheap. You don't need to spend an arm and a leg on a prosthetic arm and a leg to have fun on Halloween. You can do a lot with duct tape, glitter, old clothes that you were going to give away to the Salvation Army, and makeup. Unless your costume depends on exotic special effects or sartorial accoutrements to make its point, you don't need to burn through your wallet to make it come to life. Of course, if you do plan to do something involved, give yourself plenty of time, so you're not scrambling on the day of Halloween to get everything together.

One of the big worries for Halloween costumers is coming up with a costume that everyone else at your party or parade is doing. To avoid these "run of the mill" costumes, is not so hard. After all, the big-ticket costumes are usually easy to guess. In an election year, they will include the major political candidates, for example. If there is a national villain on the landscape -- Saddam Hussein was popular for many years -- chances are that thousands of people around the country will dress-up like him (or her).

If you are worried about being copied, add a little something extra to your costume to distinguish you. Wear weird boots or oversized glasses or crazy jewelry to enhance an otherwise dull costume. Whatever you add should compliment the costume's aesthetic. If you just throw on a bunch of beads, makeup, and homemade sheets, you will end up looking more like a mess than like anything that makes sense. And you don't want to have to explain your costume all night -- that can get old, fast.

In the rush to build new costumes, many people forget about functionality. You are going to be walking around all night, drinking, and dancing with friends. So don't wear a costume with tons of extra fabric, which can trip you and make you uncomfortable. Don't go out into the rain or freezing cold in a skimpy little outfit. Check the weather conditions and wear a costume that's appropriate for your occasion and your venue.

There is a difference between sexy and slutty. Halloween can be a time to show off your bod. But it is easy to make a faux pas. If you expose too much skin (or expose it in a non-aesthetically pleasing way), your costume may earn ridicule as opposed to praise. There are also issues of decorum to consider. If you're attending a Halloween party with a bunch of children, obviously you don't want to wear anything too lewd. Similarly, if you are partying near a dangerous neighborhood, avoid dressing overly provocatively.

At the same time, however, you can focus attention on attributes that make you look good. If you have ribbed abs, for instance, wear a shirt with no stomach. If you've got amazing hair, style your hair to draw attention -- for instance, you might want to dress-up as a mental patient who has been zapped by an electric shock and wear your hair frizzed-out in a wild mane. Experiment with different costume ideas before you settle on your outfit. If you're going with a friend or partner, coordinate so that your costumes compliment each other in a funny or sexy or otherwise interesting way.

<![CDATA[Holidays are the most awaited period in everybody's life, a time to cheer with family and friends. Even simple celebrations are no less than a party. It is a gathering of family members, near and dear ones and new faces also. It's an occasion of great fun and whenever this term occasion comes in mind, it reminds of outfits that befit an occasion.

Holiday dresses does not need to be gaudy. They range in looks from fun and flirty to sexy and sophisticated. Hit the holiday party with enormous and festive dresses like red short dress, skirts, party dresses, ruffled dresses, cocktail dresses, sweater jumper dresses, tent dresses, handkerchief hemline dresses, and black dresses etc are outstanding dress choices for holiday parties.

Right dress is one of the most important items that can make your holidays more relishing. It's the most important thing that realizes you that it's holiday party time. Call to remembrance that your attire is a great way to set your mood for any event and leave you free to enjoy yourself. Wrong dress up can make you uncomfortable, thus ensure clearly that you make the right choice.

As it's a fun time, so dress codes are mostly kept, follow it. If not, then also choose a dress suitable for the holiday party occasion. Wearing a mismatching dress spoils the mood for the occasion. No matter how good your dress is, but if it does not suit the occasion, is useless to wear. Hence, your judgment should be sharp enough to be appropriate for the occasion.

As holiday party is for young and old both, so wear something that is appropriate for your age. It looks decent also. Young ones should go for adventurous styles in dresses of various seasonal colors. Older people don't be afraid, you need not to wear boring clothes but dress up maintaining your respect and honor. Don't look childish.

One more thing, do not think you can enjoy more in loose outfits as it's holiday party. Dropping down of the dress from many sides will keep you busy in managing it all the time. Nothing is more unflattering than ill-fitting clothes. Right fit is the prerequisite for every occasion. If still you are not convinced, try it.

Wear dress, of which you are very sure suits you. Stick to your favorite suiting dress. Flatter your figure. To flatter and to suit, you should be aware about the body shape you have, and then only you can do it. After determining your body type, follow tips which style and type of outfit best suits you.

There are different shades of the same color like of blue it's navy blue, turquoise blue, etc. It's same for other colors too. Do not simply choose any shade to attain uneven look. Look for the one actually suits you.

Little accessories will heave your spirit for the holiday season. It will immediately catch attention on you. Do not over accessorize you, as it's not a grand occasion to be embellish on. For the smart and more elegant look, shoes are must haves. Heels can add height by inches to appear taller and slimmer.

The more enticing your dress is, the more people you will have to compliment you. Thus your dressing has the power to make your holiday party the memorable one. Take lots of photographs so as to keep refreshing you until the next holiday season.

<![CDATA[Day 5-15-08
My gorgeous sexy pageant gown arrived today-special delivery! Though it was a very short wait, I had to fight the urge to stalk the mail carrier. How could I not be excited about the perfect evening gown?! Let me backtrack a little. I am a curvy pageant queen. After quite a few years out of the royal spotlight, I am once again competing. Of course, I want to make my big comeback in new clothes! Money is tight but where there is a will there is a way. I have no shame admitting that I was doing a search for cheap dresses when I came across NextEve.com. Expecting to find a choice of 2 or 3 dowdy selections for plus sized women (like the other sites I visited) I was not ready for what I found! It was formal gown heaven. Any gown that my little heart desired would fit my ample beautiful curves! NO limits set by size availability. The styles of dresses were diverse; elegant ball gowns, sexy sheaths, cute and flirty cocktail dresses. Though I was looking for a pageant gown, I had to browse every inch of the site!!! All of a sudden, there it was staring back at me- my 14K golden dream dress. I am sooooo ready for the pageant's evening gown competition.

Day 5-28-08
A month from today I get to strut my stuff in my beautiful evening gown. It's amazing how an awesome gown can transform a woman. Not only by looks. You feel like you are queen of the world! It changes your walk to almost a floating glide. Your posture becomes straight and tall. How wonderful it is to feel as beautiful as you look!
Though I am a curvy girl, I chose a sheath style dress. A sheath dress is completely form fitting. Most of the gowns you see on celebrities at awards shows are of sheath design-yes, second skins. My dress isn't skin tight but it is worthy of gracing the red carpet. It kind of has a sexy French lingerie look to it. Gorgeous warm gold satin has a lace overlay at the waist with boning that resembles a corset. The bust line is caressed in pleated black tulle netting. The skirt has an overlay of black tulle netting also for a soft romantic touch. I am so in awe of this evening gown! It's like getting an engagement ring-you can't stop looking at it...then you look at it once more to make sure it's still there! Now I have to figure out a killer hairstyle to compliment it.

Day 6-20-08
I am in the final countdown with a week to go!!! It is so stressful but totally exciting at the same time. There is so much that goes into preparing for a pageant. The right hair, make up, getting your nails (hand and toes) done, shoes, appropriate outfits and the perfect evening gown. Don't have to worry about the gown at all. I've decised on a classy French roll for my hair. Since my face is round, I will have the typical "pageant pouf" bangs combed over to the side with sexy tendrils of curls at the tips. I am also placing a bundle of curls and whisps on top of the roll for a more contemporary and sexy look. That will be the perfect accent to the sexy French flair of the gown! I've been walking around the house in my clear heels so I won't be wobbly on stage. Getting into the "float on air" mode isn't easy after being out of the competition ring for about 7 years! Concentrating on last minute details won't leave much time to write. We'll catch up when I'm back at home. I'll make up for it when you hear about all of the awesome gowns I know I'll see at Nationals. Well, Myrtle Beach, here I come!!!

Day 7-3-08
Let me tell you, there's no place like home! Though Myrtle Beach was gorgeous beyond words, it's good to be back! Pageant time was jam-packed full of rehearsals, photographs and high heels....it hurts to be beautiful!!! Speaking of beautiful, I was blown away by the variety of dresses my pageant sisters chose for the evening gown competition! The younger girls rocked the ball gowns this year! One "Pre-Teen Miss" was so beautiful, she made Cinderella look like one of the ugly stepsisters! Her ballgown was the sweetest shade of bubblegum pink I have ever seen. The corseted top was spaghetti strapped and kissed with aurora borealis rhinestones. The lace up back was fully functional with a shimmering satin ribbon running through it. The fanciful skirt had layer upon layer of billowy tulle netting gleaming with rhinestones sprinkled randomly. Her delicate little frame was not lost in this abundant dress. She glided across the stage with the grace and elegance of a veteran pageant queen. She owned the stage and completely wowed the judges. Her dress was an accessory for the natural inner beauty that was shining out from within her! A "Jr. Miss" contestant wore a white strapless ballgown that had rhinestones sprinkled at the bust line. The skirt was full with a glorious train sweeping behind her. The most awesome feature of her gown was that the skirt was completely covered with white roses made of tulle netting all the way to the tip of the train. The centers were soft pink netting with rhinestone accents. With her curly blonde hair softly swept up on top of her head, she looked like a young angel in an enchanted garden. She was definitely a sight to behold!

Day 8-10-08
We older contestants were equally as glam. We don't age-we mellow like a fine wine! One of the "Mrs. Woman" contestants displayed her beautiful figure in a sheath prima donna gown made of champagne satin with a sexy black lace overlay. Her gown was covered in crystals that glimmered with each movement. The lacey edged split in the middle of the skirting exposed a flash of her legs as she took her beauty walk. A small regal train swept out behind her. What a sultry vision of elegance! Less was more for one "Woman" contestant. Her gown was a satin strapless with an empire waistline in rich navy blue. There was an exquisite rhinestone brooch just below the bust that gave the flowing satin of her gown that sparkling touch of class! She made quite a statement without saying a word. In the "Classic Ms." division, I sported my 14k golden gown and got lots of "Oooooo's" and "look at yours" from my pageant sisters. No one had a gown like mine-not even the same color and I couldn't have been more pleased. I thrive on standing apart in a crowd! A diva in my division competed in 2 pageants that weekend. She was breathtaking in both competitions. For one pageant she wore a black halter with a tiered ruffled skirt and magenta sash-stunning!!! A sassy haltered satin mermaid style in fuchsia was her gown of choice for the pageant we competed in together. It's hard to put into words the glamour that she possessed! Alas, she won the crown and I am her first runner up. Someone blinded by the sparkle of the crown would say that I lost. I say that I've won something priceless. A lifelong friendship has developed between the new queen and me. Long after our reign is over and the crowns are on the shelf-our friendship will continue.

<![CDATA[Large busts, blessing or curse? In actual, it’s none of the two; rather it’s a mixed blessing. There are many dresses that are accentuated by large busts while others get an odd look.
Though much can be achieved with large busts but still too much emphasis on it is also not good. You will even notice most of the styles that looks good on big busts stresses more on minimizing them rather than accentuating it. So your efforts should be towards belittling them.
Dresses main work is only to beautify your assets. Your clothes can completely change your look. Even a neckline can make great difference in your appearance. If you are women, conscious about your large busts, here are some guidelines to dress in a way that minimizes the appearance of your bust.
Lets start from a very simple thing i.e. stripes. Design of stripes works greatly on busts. If you have large busts avoid horizontal stripes on dresses as it imparts a larger look to busts; instead opt for vertical or diagonal stripes for a slimming effect.
Necklines also act as a great way in minimizing the size of the busts. It includes, V-neckline, square neckline and scoop neckline. Dresses with these neckline creates a big gap between neck and chest, thus gives an illusion of smaller busts.
Bra, the main cornerstone of the dress is very important item in imparting the proper look to the busts. Always wear well-fitting bra, as ill-fitting one adds extra bulk to you, thus make you appear larger.
Large bust women should avoid wearing baggy outfits, especially at the top portion. Wear dresses that should certainly fit under the bust and then can fall from there. But if supposedly you have worn dress that fall entirely on you freely from top till bottom, belt is a good way to accentuate your bust. It cinches the waist thus make your bust appear proper.
There are some styles that are perfectly suited for fuller bust. Wrap dress, empire waist dress, maxi dress, A line dress, shift dress are some of them. Be stick to low neck policy in these dresses also. These styles dress looks very flattering on bigger bust.
Women with large bust should ward off any kind of detailing around the bust area in order to draw attention from there. Any detailing will draw attention towards them, thus making your appearance awkward. Detailing may include ruching effect, embellishments, beads, sequins, pockets etc.
One of the other ways to draw attention away from the bust is to carry large handbags for a flattering look than small bags. It also makes your breasts appear smaller, in accordance to the size of the bag.
Sleeves can also provide positive or negative effect to the bust.

<![CDATA[Beginning with a bang in the last quarter of the 20th century and inexorably extending well into the first decade of the 21st century, the unremitting societal emphasis on personal identity and its accompanying personal wear has undoubtedly taken the hot seat in the area of personal purchases. Juicy Couture has been one of the grand pioneers of the personal wear market and has since the years of its inception, that is way back in the year 1994, successfully showcased and marked a highly appealing range of such personal items as sun glares, ladies handbags, men's and women's purses, costume jewelry, perfumes and kids wear items.

The focused themes that runs through the entire range of personal wear items which are manufactured, showcased and marketed by Juicy Couture is Casualness and Personal Identity. Juicy Couture was one of the first companies to have understood the connection between these two evolving human traits and accordingly seized the initiative through a brilliant team of artists and marketing planners, thereby meeting the personal demands of an evolving society of personal consciousness. Along with this unmistakable trend towards personal identity.

Juicy Couture made its commercial debut in 1994 at Arleta, California under the leadership and ownership of Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy. The company's personal wear products retail through mega store chains throughout North America as well the overseas. The company is now owned by the fashion giant Liz Claiborne with a market net worth of USD $288 million and continues to expand the range of its many personal wear products. In the course of its new ownership and management, Juicy Couture has been popularized by its trademark terrycloth and velour tracksuits.

In tracking the success history of Juicy Couture, it is now obvious that campaign slogans have been one of the main mind pullers of a captive buying audience. Slogans such as "Go Couture Yourself", and "Smells like Couture" reflect the mental preference of a contemporary society which is personal human identity. JC merchandise is authenticated through its genuine labels lie tags of various colors or metal engravings, etc.
