With each new season, a new trend appears. The time comes when one does not know what to do to keep up with the fashions! And worst of all, everything gets so complicated and then boils down to the question, What should I wear?
Has this ever happened to you? You have to dress up to go somewhere, to an informal meeting or to a dinner out with friends, and you don?t know what to put on? If this has happened to you, most likely you don?t have a good wardrobe base. Keep on reading this newsletter, and we?ll show you how to create one:
How can the everyday woman keep an updated wardrobe at all times?
Jackie Onassis, Grace Kelly or even Gwyneth Paltrow are figures of female elegance. All of them have in common what sets them apart: a unique and non-transferable style; they are not slaves to trends?they use them to add new touches to their classic and personal style.
What is the key, then, to being stylish?
They key to developing a simple yet elegant style is buying clothing items that are basic and vital, taking advantage of the multiple combinations that these will allow.
These key components of your wardrobe are the ones that ensure that you?ll never find yourself without anything to put on.
You should spend whatever is necessary to get these articles, always keeping your budget in mind, of course.
They also have the added advantage of reducing the time you spend on deciding what to put on or what to pack in a suitcase when you travel.
BASIC, VITAL CLOTHING ITEMS THAT MUST NOT BE MISSING FROM YOUR WARDROBE
The following points describe your wardrobe?s basic essentials and how to get maximum benefit from them:
1. The super basics: Lingerie that adapts itself to you.
Start the house at the foundation, not at the roof.
First of all, make sure that you know your bra size well. Many women use bras that are not their size. The correct bra size will make your clothing look better on you; you?ll feel more comfortable and you won?t have to spend the entire day adjusting it.
TIP: Underwear must be comfortable and made of cotton or a percentage of cotton. Buy underwear that is elastic and that moves with your movements and that is not noticeable beneath your clothing.
2. A stylish suit: The classic basic for all seasons.
Every woman needs a suit.
Black is the best option, but if you wish to look more relaxed, try beige, dark green or a color that you like and that?s not too bright so that it won?t go out of style too quickly.
TIP: You should buy the suit, especially a black, brown or neutral one, together with a skirt for the same suit. Many suits come with a skirt or pants; what?s ideal is to buy both so that you have more options.
? Get the most out of your suit:
You can use the pantsuit with a business shirt to look elegant.
You can use the skirt and jacket with a suitable shirt to look feminine.
You can combine the pants with a sweater, tank top or cami.
Or you can combine the jacket with jeans for a weekend look.
You can wear the skirt with a sexy blouse to go out to dinner in the evening.
3. The indispensable little black dress
It?s essential to have a ?little black dress? hanging in your closet (how ?little? the dress is depends on you and what you feel comfortable with).
TIP: It?s better to buy a dress with a classic cut, staying away from anything excessively revealing; that way you?ll be able to use it on any occasion.
? Get the most out of your black dress:
You can wear it with high heels to go out in the evening. If you put your hair up and use a stole, you?ll give it a very elegant touch.
You can also combine it with high-heeled sandals, slicking your hair back with gel for a sexy and glamorous look.
You can combine it with a knit jacket and flats to use it during the day.
4. An absolute must for all seasons: jeans.
It?s very unusual to find a woman today who doesn?t have a pair of jeans in her closet.
The difficulty arises in choosing the jeans that are the most appropriate for you among the immense variety that is available.
TIP: Visit the greatest possible number of stores and try on all the jeans that are necessary until you find the ones that favor you the most. It?s important that they be somewhat elastic so that they adapt to your figure and are more comfortable to wear. Try to choose a darker cloth, which will give you a more slender and elegant figure. Don?t be afraid of the mirror; look at yourself thoroughly from all available angles. Sit down, bend forward, move until you are assured that they?re comfortable. Lastly, don?t forget that the length of the jeans should adapt to the height of the shoe you plan on wearing.
? Get the most out of your jeans:
You can wear them with a suit jacket and a T-shirt for an informal look.
You can wear them with sneakers and a sweater for a sporty and comfortable look.
You can wear them with heels and a studded rhinestone top to go out in the evening and look fantastic.
You can combine them with a business shirt?

Color Theory for Fashionistias - Three Easy Steps to Perfect Color Every Time
Color Theory for Fashionistias - Three Easy Steps to Perfect Color Every Time
by: Carrie Johnson
Color is everywhere, in your clothes, in your jewelry. Color is life. Fashion and color coordination can make or break your carefuly planned outfit.
Here's a bit of color theory with a fashionista bent.
Primary colors
These are red, blue and yellow. In theory, you can make any color from these three primaries (except white, which is really an absence of color). In practice, it depends on what red, blue or yellow you start with, but we are not mixing paints here, so just remember that the primary colors are red, blue and yellow. You'll learn why in the next step.
The secondary colors are the colors you get from mixing equal amounts of any two primaries. (If the primaries are pure, mixing all three will give you black.)
The secondaries are purple, orange and green.
Now why do you care?
Well, primaries and...

Donald Trump?s Marketing Secrets Revealed!
Donald Trump?s Marketing Secrets Revealed!
by: Dan Lok
It's official!
Now in it's third season, Donald Trump's killer television series "The Apprentice" is officially a "franchise."
With new seasons in the making, a clothing line that carries "The Apprentice" brand, DVD's in production, and mega-fortunes to be made, it's no surprise that the king of real estate... a man who knows a good thing when he sees it... is involved.
I like Donald Trump a lot.
Mostly because I learn something new from him every time I watch him in action.
One of the barbs critics aim at Donald Trump is that he's a shameless egomaniac who can't get enough of the spotlight.
Well, they may call it egomania, but from my perspective... it's a brilliant business strategy.
I'll admit it: I'm a marketer.
My job is to make people sit up and take notice of my clients (and their products or services), and to deliver a "brand" message at every...

Wedding Dresses ? The Latest Trends!
by: Elsie Gilbert
Wedding dresses are such an opportunity for any bride to show their unique sense of style and to really make a fashion statement. Gone are the days of the plain ?meringue? style wedding dresses with a little cute well-placed bow; now we are daring to be different!
In fact, one of the latest trends is to offer wedding dresses that can be used again. Not only is this a great idea from a budget point of view, but it is also reflective of the simple lines that are part of the modern trend in wedding dresses. Arguably, this fashion is due to the ever increasing age of first time brides as well as the large number of second weddings.
Wedding Dresses for the Winter Wedding
Whenever we think about wedding dresses, we automatically think of a warm, summer?s day, with a crisp, wafting white dress to match. However, there is a growing trend towards winter weddings. Winter wedding dresses...

You want to ?WOW? your co-workers without going overboard.

Buying A Used Tanning Bed
Buying A Used Tanning Bed
by: Peter Garant
Buying a used tanning bed would be like buying any other product or appliance that has been used before, such as a used car or a used stair lift. One definite advantage is obviously the lesser cost of the used item. But there are pitfalls whenever you chose to purchase a second hand product. For example, when you buy a used stair lift, you may discover that the lift mechanism creates a disturbing and ominous sound. And...
