Why Modern Women Love Coach Bags

By Clarice Jones

Being a modern woman today equals with owning at least a couple of designer purses. You may wonder what to do if you actually are a tasteful woman and a very fashionable one, but your budget is not as big as to allow you to buy such expensive purses.

When it comes to dressing up on a budget, you have to be smart and creative. It is perfectly possible to obtain a fabulous look with a not at all fabulous budget. Cheaper does not need to mean uglier or worse quality, be it in purses, shoes or any other clothing accessories.

Remember, you don't need to jump into buying any purse from the new collections Coach and other bags designers launch once or twice a year. Usually you can wait to buy them at less than half their initial price, about 6 months after launch. I think it is worth waiting, as the discounts are important and you can save a lot of money this way.

Take advantage of discount seasons which come usually after big holidays. In January, you can get amazing bag models branded with the Coach signature almost at the price of a fake purse. For example, you could get the Coach Patchwork Handbag in a combination of the finest leather, suede and CC monogrammed fabric for as little as 295 dollars. This is a bargain.

Bags need to be outstanding, as they are one of the most important clothing accessories for a woman. A bag for a woman is the equivalent of a tie for a man. Everybody notices a beautiful purse, as well as they always notice a very ugly or cheap looking one. You'd better be good in your bag choices. If you are not sure what fits you, watch the celebrities and try to match their style with yours.

Get yourself a matching wallet, each time you buy a new purse. This creates a stylish effect on the viewers, thus helping them label you as one fashionable lady.

Cleaning of your bags should be done with great care. Sometimes water may ruin your purses, so you need to keep them away from water, if the manufacturer so indicates. Your Coach bags are amongst the luckiest ever, because you can buy special maintenance kits which help your bags look like new for longer time.

MMatch your handbags with your size. Overweight and short women should not wear their bags across body. This style rather fits taller ladies, who are slim.

How Much Should One Expect to Pay for Prescription Glasses?

By Amy Nutt

Prescription glasses are not a cheap item, no matter how you look at it. When you buy glasses, you have to pay both for lenses and frames, not to mention the cost of the exam itself. If you need glasses, knowing how much to expect to pay ahead of time is very helpful.

The Cost of Frames Varies

The cost of the frames for your prescription glasses varies tremendously from pair to pair. Designer frames can cost several hundred dollars. For that price you get designer frames that would be the envy of any Hollywood star. You can also buy more affordable frames at discount prices for around $50 or less. Online merchants make it possible to get frames for even less, sometimes close to $20.

There are some special features that can increase the cost of frames. For instance, frames made out of a titanium-based allow known as Flexon are able to return to their normal shape after being damaged. These are great for people who work in high-impact jobs or play sports on a regular basis, but they also cost more. This lightweight, corrosion-resistant material is very popular, making it very popular, and therefore more expensive.

The most affordable frames are plastic frames, but again, designer models will cost more. There are many different metals used to make eyeglass frames as well. High-end frames are often made out of titanium or aluminum, creating a polished look. Monel is the most common metal used in eyeglass frames.

The Cost of Lenses

Frames are not the only things that cost a lot when you are buying eyeglasses. Lenses also contribute to the price of your glasses. Single prescription lenses come in a variety of materials and with several coating options, and each of these adds to the cost.

The cheapest option for your lenses is plastic. Plastic lenses are lightweight and fairly durable, but they do scratch easily. You will pay more to get a scratch-resistant coating on these glasses, but you may find that it pays for itself by making your glasses last longer. You will also pay more if you need special features like slim lenses, which are often necessary if you have a strong prescription.

Polycarbonate is another option you have for your frames. These are lightweight and provided added UV protection, but they cost more than plastic. If you have a strong prescription and wear your glasses all of the time, the lighter weight and UV protection may make the cost worthwhile.

If you have bifocals or trifocals, your lenses will cost even more. Remember, these glasses are basically two or three pairs of glasses in one pair of lenses. Other additional features, such as glasses that darken when you go in the sun or glasses with a glare resistant coating, will increase the cost. On average, frame can cost between $50 and $300, depending on what you choose for them.

Options for Saving Money

Since a pair of glasses could cost as much as $400, depending on the frames you choose and the lenses you need, you are probably wondering how you can save money on them. One option is to shop online. But cutting out a lot of the overhead that a brick and mortar retailer has, online retailers can offer the same lenses and designer frames for a much more reasonable price. Look for a site that has a money back offer, however, because you do not want to be stuck with a shoddy pair of glasses by a less-than-scrupulous company.

Another option is to shop at a 'big box' retailer. Discount stores like Wal-Mart and warehouse stores often have optical departments. These locations typically have a lower cost for their materials because they buy in such tremendous quantities, so you will save money. Remember, you have options if you shop around, so take your time to find an affordable eye care provider.

Did You Design That?

By Donna Trumble

Do you get excited when you see the newest fashions? Isnt it amazing how quickly fashion changes. The winds of change affect the styles and trends of clothing every season.

What is even more fun than watching fashion, is creating your own. As one who sews, you are in a very enviable position. You can imitate the most current trends and styles, or create something distinctly your own. You are in control. Only your imagination holds you back. Watch the fashion trends, and then create.

Fashion changes so fast it can be dizzying. Every season brings fresh new styles. Magazines, shows, and advertizing put a spotlight on the new trends, but as fast as the new comes, the old fades away. Hmmm, how long has it been since your saw a double knit leisure suit?

So what fashions can we expect for the new year? Scan through the pages of your favorite fashion magazine and see what is there. What do you like or dislike? It seems to me there are many interesting revivals of past styles applied is slightly new ways. Fashion often revives styles from the past with just a slight twist. You can too.

The hottest fashion trends can be yours. Pick and choose the styles you really like, because you can make them your own. Examine how the items are made, and imitate or create.

You might think to yourself, I need a new pattern and it is so hard to fit a new pattern. Or you might imagine resurrecting some of those old patterns and using the parts that fit your new design. You might even consider investing in design software like Dressmaker or Berninas new My Design. You may take a class to learn how to create your own designs or fine tune fitting.

You might consider projects like: a slim skirt, great fitting slacks, fitted jacket, wide belt, shaped t-shirts, wrapped blouses and dresses, denim projects, and all kinds of embellished projects.

Consider all the possibilities. They are endless. You can start from scratch or take a ready to wear item and convert it to something amazing. Remember, the projects you sew can produce you own distinctive fashion statement.

If it takes more than a few hours, some of us never get done. So, frequently, I will buy a cheap ready to wear garment and then do my thing. Since most ready to wear does not fit my body, I usually have to make some adjustments anyway. So, I do. With a touch of decorative threads, metallic embellishment, sparkles, changing a collar, or even embroidery, I take ordinary and turn it into extraordinary. As sewers, we can choose to design and sew from scratch or to transform a stock item. Either way, we are able to produce our own distinctive fashions.

Sometimes the newest fashions, can be made by recycling stuff already in the closet. By making some alterations, adding some distinctive embellishment, or just using the item in a fresh new way; we produce our new style. It is so exciting when friends respond, Wow, how much did that cost? It is so much fun being the envy of my friends.

Color is always important. The current trends may include grey, black, and red, but you can develop your own accents and combinations for your own special style.

If you sew, you understand the thrill that comes from creating your own beautiful item. You can appreciate the joys, relaxation, and peace that sewing provides. Knowing that you can create your own fashions gives you control over your life non sewers can only dream about. Sewing offers so many benefits it is hard to think of them all.

My daughter and I were at Dillards, and we found this simple little skirt, nothing special. I lifted the price tag and was stunned - $220. After recovering for a moment, I looked a little closer, and thought to myself. I could do that. I could do that for a fourth of the price. And I did. But mine was better.

Today, the modern sewing machines and other tools available make sewing so easy and convenient it is a real blessing. Using a quality sewing machine is fun, easy, and gives real satisfaction. Making your own styles has never been easier. So, lets sew. Lets create our own personal fashion statement.

Advice On When and Why To Buy A Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

The world of tuxedos is full of rented and borrowed garments that have been around for far too long. Renting is acceptable for some tuxedo wearers, but not for all.

I wrote this article to help give people the knowledge they need to determine whether they should buy or rent. After reading this article you will be prepared prepared to make a definite decision.

Firstly, you need to know how often you will be wearing a tuxedo over the next few years. A good way to determine this is to look at the past few years. If you have been averaging more than once every two years than it is a good idea to buy a tuxedo.

The cost of a tuxedo is dramatically less than the inexperienced buyer believes. The reality is that most people will make money by purchasing instead of renting.

Also you don't have to buy everything that you would normally rent with a tuxedo package. For instance you can use the black dress shoes you wear with your suit for your tuxedo. You can also use the white dress shirt you normally wear to work.

The whole rental operation can be quite frustrating. Tuxedo renters need to go to the shop a minimum of three times and must remember to bring the tux back in a timely manner or face late charges. Avoid this stress by making a tuxedo purchase.

Lastly, the joy of ownership is a fantastic feeling that is felt in a tuxedo purchase the same way it is felt in a suit purchase. You may even feel better after purchasing your tux, because it is something unique that many people do not get to do.

Keep these thoughts in the back of your mind the next time you are asked to an event that requires you to wear a tuxedo. You may just decide to buy one rather than rent.

Keep Your Children in Style with Tralala Clothing

By Katie Wilber

There's a clothing designer located in California who puts her French roots into the clothing she designs for little girls. The combination gives a very unique shopping experience to mothers of little girls.

Anastasia Backstrand is the owner and designer of Tralala, a children's clothing boutique. Long before leaving France, Backstrand was mesmerized by patterns and colors. She eventually earned an education in fashion design in Paris. In the mid 90s, she left France for California, where she lives and designs clothing today. Tralala became a reality in 2003 with her vision to design high-end children's clothing.

With one purchase from Tralala you'll have the best dressed kids on the playground. Tralala clothing lets playtime be comfortable as well as fashionable. With a French look of floral appliques and black or red toile patterns, Tralala delivers both to your kids.

Unique is almost not strong enough a word to describe the clothing from Tralala. It's made from 100% soft-combed cotton. Because the clothing has not been pre-shrunk, fashions will shrink the very first time they are washed. When choosing the appropriate size, it's important to take into account that the clothing is sized for average children of every age.

The look of Tralala clothing can best be described as classic or romantic. Some designs have an Oriental flare with bold black and white fabric outlines in the skirts and play clothes. The clothing is made with limited edition, one-of-a-kind prints that are exclusive to Tralala. One look and you'll quickly realize they are something special.

The new spring 2009 collection called Pure is an organic baby and toddler clothing line. These fashions will actually cater to both baby boys and girls. Now both genders can enjoy the luxurious, stylish, cotton fabrics that are a signature of the Tralala clothing lines.

The clothing is made from 100% bamboo cotton, mother of pearl buttons, and organic satin. The collection will include dresses, layettes, pant sets, and blankets. The goal with the line is to be more stylish and appealing than the usually bland, organic clothing available.

A portion of all sales from the Pure line will be given to the organization Kids in Distressed Situation. The organization helps kids with the pure necessities of life such as shelter, food, and clothes.

This is not the first time that Tralala will be helping out those in need. The company has also been involved with Feed the Children and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

As with many retailers these days, Tralala's high-end children clothing can be found across the country and over the internet. If you're looking for something different for your little girl or as a gift for a child, you'll want to check out Tralala. Although the clothing looks like expensive French fashion, it's sure to become your child's favorite, cozy thing to wear thanks to its down-to-earth comfort.

Diamonds are not the only best friends of women. In fact, any piece of jewelry is bound to put a smile on any womens face. Sometimes, however, there are certain pieces of jewelry that look extremely spectacular but can be quite disheartening on the part of plus size women for the sole reason that they simply cannot find something the right size. Not anymore! heart jewelry pieces are now available in many jewelry stores found in the mall and over the Internet. If you are looking to purchase your very own heart jewelry, here are a few things you to help you in your search for that perfect heart jewelry piece over the Internet.

Get your measurements

This is especially important if you are purchasing your heart jewelry over the Internet. Since you are unable to fit these jewelry pieces, it would be crucial to know your measurements for to get the perfect fit for necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Even when you purchase plus size earrings, you will need to take the measurement between your earlobe and your shoulder. This is to ensure that whatever heart jewelry piece you will be getting, this would provide you the perfect fit which would give you the flattering look that you are looking for.

Know what you want

With so many designs and styles to choose from, it is important to know what particular style you would want when looking for a heart jewelry piece. heart jewelry designs range from the simple and classic to the ultra-modern and hip. If you are unsure what you are looking for, you can browse through magazines and websites for the latest trends and styles to give you ideas on what you want. Some of these websites would offer quizzes and self-evaluation tests that would allow you to figure out the kind of style that would suit your lifestyle and overall fashion sense. You can also ask suggestions from the jeweler attending to you for suggestions as well.

Get extensions

Many jewelry shops would often include extensions and extenders as part of the package of their heart jewelry pieces for necklaces and bracelets. Some however sell these separately. It is highly advisable to get a couple of extension clasps and to make sure that you would be able to wear your heart jewelry for a long, long time.

All in moderation

Just like any form of jewelry, heart jewelry pieces should be to accentuate your face and flatter your body. Getting the right size of stones and chains for your heart jewelry would make all the difference. Getting extremely thin chains and small stones can actually work even for plus size women. Just make sure that the size is the right size. You would not want your heart jewelry to highlight things that you would like to hide. The same holds true with accessories with large gemstones. Not all of the designs with humongous gemstones would work well for everyone. A best bet is to try out the heart jewelry piece and judge how it would look. If you are not satisfied or feel awkward about how it looks, look at something else.

Buying A Wrinkle Free Suit

When a person must don a suit for work five days a week he is usually deeply concerned about the amount of wrinkles that go into his suit. He really should worry about this before wearing or even buying the suit.

I wrote this piece to help men and women purchase a suit that will not wrinkle easy. After reading this article you will know all you need to know to purchase a highly wrinkle resistant suit.

Cotton and linen suits are the enemy when it comes to looking for suits that will not wrinkle easy. The greatest example of this can be seen in your hamper in the form of cotton t-shirts.

Heavy wools are fantastic crinkle deterrents. Buy a thick wool suit to wear in colder months and you will keep warm and wrinkle free.

Decide to sacrifice some comfort by purchasing a wool spun at a lower level. The higher the level of spin on the wool grade, the easier it will wrinkle.

Polyester can be added to wool suits in a combination that is fantastic at fighting wrinkles. You can buy these suits from a multitude of vendors at reasonable prices.

Companies like Haggar and HSM make suits in traveler and magic stretch models to help make things easy on the wrinkle victim. These models are especially designed for maximum crease protection.

Use dry cleaning only when absolutely necessary. Trips to the cleaner can be bad for both your wallet and your suit. Dry cleaning a suit too often will lower the durability of your suit.

Do buy a wrinkle free material. These fabrics consist of heavy wools, low spun wools, and wool/polyester mixtures. Most designers sell these materials, so they shouldn't be too hard to find.

Once you've purchased the suit you will need to be careful when wearing it. Make sure to take the jacket off whenever possible. Long car rides can be brutal on a suit jacket when worn.

After wrinkles have formed be sure to take them out with your steam cleaner or iron. Shallow wrinkles may even knock themselves out through careful hanging.

Follow the above tips and wrinkles should be a distant memory from the past. Feel free to bookmark this article and come back to it whenever possible.

The Invention Of The Board Short

By James McFadden

Beach wear will never be complete without board shorts. Not only are they a regular sight near the water, but are also part of other sports and casual wear. Looking no different from knee length pants, these surfer shorts are baggier in nature but stay compact and light.

Extending beyond normal beach wear, board shorts have been adopted by people living in warmer weather as part of their daily attire. The baggy design and material used lend comfort to the wearer with airy internals. This is also partly why they are now mandatory for all water sports fans, as they dry extremely fast.

There are other uses for these bermuda-like pants. Fight sports have seen an increasing surge of grapplers who are choosing them over traditional long pants. They prefer the maximum freedom of movement when used in highly physical activities.

Some of the common features of this clothing wear are waist ties that are adjustable. The comfort fly also comes with easy washing of the shorts. As they are mostly worn by surfers, board shorts normally spot colorful designs that catch the eye.

Paddle shorts are another form that prevent friction injuries due to high contact water sports. A layer of durable water repellant is over used both internally and externally. This protects sportsmen like paddlers and canoeists from suffering wear and tear due to the nature of their sports.

Todos Twill polyester and polyester supersuede are increasingly used in the making of board shorts. Supersuede, for example, helps to provide many of the benefits discussed and little wonder they have become a popular choice.

Surfers generally tend to opt for the long standing brands of Billabong, Hurley and Roxy board shorts. All companies produce both men's and women's designs as the clothing is high popular with people of all ages, sex and sizes. Even larger size designs have been made for the extra market.

Board shorts are now widely available through the Internet. The low overhead allows them to be sold at much more attractive prices than in retail stores. This has continued to contribute to their increasing popularity and use.

Thigh High Boots Are For Parties Not The Office

By Sharon Spooner

Thigh High Boots do not have to be all shiny with stilleto heels, just like shoes your boots are available in many different styles and colors. The first think you need to do is think where you would wear your new boots, they are definitely not the sort of item you would wear to work in your government office job.

While there is always going to be an association in some peoples minds between thigh high boots and some less than salubrious professions no one can argue that if you find the right pair and wear them when you go out clubbing or partying then you will look stunning and will definitely turn heads.

How do you choose the right pair of thigh high boots for you, well there are so many variations that you do need to give some thought to exactly what you want.

Look in your closet right now, which outfit or outfits would look great with your new pair of thigh high boots? Once you have made that decision then you are on your way to buying the right boots for you.

When you buy shoes do you ever look at a heel and just think "no that's not right for me" , well buying Thigh High Boots is no different. You will need to have some idea of what sort of heel you want your boots to have before you even start shopping for them.

Do you cringe when you see the super shiny Thigh High Boots? That is ok as there are plenty of other choices available to you. Some of the high fashion houses make boots and they are available in just about every style and material imaginable.

Shopping for Thigh High Boots can take a little longer than you may be used to spending when looking for shoes, and depending where you live you may have little choice but to do your shopping online.

Pretty Jewelry Designs by You

By Elias Riftinger

Have you been experimenting with making your own pretty jewelry designs since you were a kid, but you are never quite sure what to do with them? Far from being a nice little personal gift to give your family and friends, your jewelry designs could be the source of a nice little income for you.

Many people who start selling their handmade jewelry are surprised how quickly it takes off. In no time, you may be ready to quit that day job and become the boss full time. If you want to try your hand at the jewelry business but aren't really sure where to start, this guide will help you get things off the ground.

Take a Deep Breath and Take the Plunge

The hardest part for most people who are interested in turning their jewelry hobby into a business is just getting their nerve up and going for it. Starting a business can be a scary process, but the key is to educate yourself as much as possible and then take the leap. Remember, it is ok to start small and dip your toes into the water. You don't have to buy a shop front, hire staff and go through all of that to try out life as a jewelry designer making necklaces, bracelets or even engagement rings. Taking baby steps is a good way to get started.

In fact, one of the easiest ways to test the water is to do it surrounded by supportive family and friends. Hold a jewelry party at your house, where you can display all of your latest designs and creations. Of course, you can sell your jewelry at the party if you choose (and remember, when you make your first sale, you are officially a professional!), but more important than selling at this party is soliciting opinions. Encourage your friends and family to be honest with you about what is working and what is not, so you can make changes as needed and move up to the next level with confidence.

This next step might include setting up a website as well as visiting local boutique shops and galleries to see if you can get anyone interested in your designs. Try and tempt a few local retailers to take some of your stuff in on a consignment basis, and then see how it goes.

Promote your product through word of mouth or through low cost advertisements in the local paper. By taking these kinds of baby steps, your business will grow naturally. As demand increases, so will your income, and you will be able to adjust your plans accordingly. Above all else, just go for it. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain!

Why buying organic clothes can help your health

By MJ Erwin

As the responsiveness for global warming spreads, many people now try to live a 'greener' lifestyle. People are opting to eat more natural foods and try to make use of renewable energy sources. But these are not the only way we can participate in saving the environment. Unknown to most people, even the way we choose to dress can leave a huge impact on the environment.

Organic clothing is identified as clothing that is made from resources that are raised or grown without the use of chemicals in the form of pesticides - herbicides or other chemicals. Its key material, cotton, is grown entirely naturally in farms the same way cotton has been grown long before the appearance of chemicals like pesticides began.

Though organic cotton has less environmental impact than conventional cotton, it costs more to produce. Side-effects of conventional production that are avoided in organic growing methods include:

High levels of agrochemicals are used in the production of non-organic, conventional cotton. Conventional cotton is responsible for nearly 25% of the insecticides and 10% of the pesticides used in the world, though is it grown on only 3% of the total cultivated area. The excessive use of chemicals in conventional cotton made it rank fourth as the most heavily-fertilized crop.

The chemicals used in the processing of cotton pollute the air and surface waters. Eco-friendly farmers try to find different ways to lessen the amount of harmful chemicals they put into the ground, as these chemicals mix into the soil. This will eventually affect vegetation and animal life through many years to come. These chemicals may also seep into natural fresh water deep underground and contaminate it. As many other farmers begin to realize this, instead of using synthetic fertilizers which messes up the soil's PH balance, many are now turning to natural composting. Pesticides can throw off the food chain and affect larger animals, so organic farmers introduce beneficial insects and predators, as well as setting up insect traps to have a specific area for insect control.

Left over chemicals may irritate the skin. Since the fabrication of organic clothing involves no chemicals, it has fewer irritants, making it the perfect textile for infants' delicate skin and people who have allergies. It can also give off a pleasing smell and is supposed to minimize respiratory problems.

Organic cotton clothing is much more expensive than non-organic cotton clothing but the price is definitely worth it. These type of clothing wear better and are much durable than conventional cotton and is often more breathable than synthetic materials.

Organic cotton has unique properties that set it apart from synthetic cottons found on most major retailers. The colour brown, for instance, darkens slightly during the first three washings. Since organic cotton is not stripped of its natural wax by chemicals, most weaves have a unique smoothness and weight which makes the fabric particularly flattering. Organic cotton can be dyed using natural dyes as well. Aside from being eco-friendly and beneficial to health, organic clothing is a beautiful and stylish material.

Craft Uniquely Styled Beaded Jewelry For Yourself

By Ned Dagostino

Costume jewelry is as old as the hills, veritably! Ancient mounds have yielded an enormous trove of beaded jewelry used by those ancient peoples.

Ancient cultures and civilizations used jewelry for religious and royal ceremonies. The public relied on less pretentious forms of jewelry, such as beaded jewelry for daily wear. The earliest examples of beads used as jewelry date back 70,000 years (source: National Geographic Society)!

Beaded jewelry has been put to many uses other than simply decoration. We all know that Christopher Columbus offered the natives of the Americas colored beaded jewelry when he wanted to gain their friendship. So, you see, beaded jewelry has its political uses as well!

The craft of making beaded jewelry is easily picked up in a matter of hours. It is an excellent way of bringing out your latent creativity. You'll get the hang of the basic methodology in a couple of hours, and then it's just you and your ideas, and of course, the beads! This craft is truly freeform, and you can give free run to your imagination to create signature pieces that spell 'YOU'!

Making your own costume jewelry is doubly rewarding. You'll enjoy making it, you'll enjoy wearing it. This is where you can let your aesthetic talent come to the fore! Design your jewelry in such a way that it represents your nature, your personal style. Are you a 'blue' person?

New fashioned beads are giving a new impetus to the craft of beaded jewelry making. The new beads are full of surprising variety and specialties. Many of the beads are exquisite in appearance.

"Urich adds a tremendous value to Debaufre, considering his history of publishing the Urich View of the watch industry in Hr:Watches Magazine which in turn created a real connection with watch enthusiasts because of its honesty, we believe our customers will welcome Urich as someone to turn to for an unbiased voice." says Alldaron, VP of Debaufre, "Thanks to the help and support of our customers, Debaufre has grown to a larger company much faster than we expected. This partnership with Urich will boost our reach even further and improve customer satisfaction by bringing a recognized voice to the team." he continues.

Urich founded Hr:Watches Magazine in the mid 1990's, pouring forth from the pages he published an uncensored opinion of the world of Swiss timepieces. Watch collectors and casual enthusiasts alike welcomed the magazine as a fresh approach. Of course Urich shook things up, showing no favoritism, sharing with his readers the benefits and shortcomings of the watch industry as seen from his point of view.

Mid 2005, Debaufre launched in the U.S., focusing on selling via the internet and establishing brand recognition before approaching watch retailers for mass distribution. "There are plenty of amazing companies catering to the retailers", says Alldaron, "and we wanted to focus on the consumer with direct selling." Against all odds and faced with skepticism for launching Debaufre into an unproven online marketplace, which of course went against all conventional wisdom, Debaufre proved this marketing concept is a formula for success.

The Online Generation is a new type of consumer, with new habits and a new mentality, realizing the internet eliminates retail store delay and decreases expenses to a watch buyer. Online is the future, the days of retail stores for watches are slowly coming to an end, buyers realize that direct sales is the way to go, just look at Amazon or Tiger Direct. Debaufre has maintained a strong foothold in the watch industry as the major brand catering to the Online Generation and has built a tremendous following, even receiving plenty of repeat customers and lots of word of mouth.

The attention and criticism Debaufre receives merely proves that the new concept of online branding and direct sales, which Debaufre is focusing on, works and is the future of the watch industry. It's all going online. Urich believes in the vision of Debaufre, he joined to contribute uncensored insight and expertise about the watch industry as an insider. "I like the approach and vision of Debaufre, really taking a personal interest in the people they do business with, you feel at home buying from them." says Urich.

Tie Buying Tips

By Victor Santerino

There have been so many articles written on how to properly buy a suit, but not many have been written on the tie. However, this does not mean the tie should not be bought and worn properly.

This article will give you a good idea of what to look for when purchasing a tie to wear. You will learn about materials, sizes, and styles you should look for when purchasing a tie.

The fabric of choice for a tie must always be silk. All other materials look poorly and will not hold up nearly as well as a carefully made silk tie.

Always remember that you need to choose a tie which can reach the top of your belt when tied. Also keep in mind that the front needs to extend further than the back of the tie.

In the past thin ties were the rage. This has changed in 2009 and 3.5" seems to be the minimum width while 4" is the maximum.

Resiliency is another matter to consider when purchasing a tie. The tie should have the ability to bounce back into shape after being twisted in your hand for a few seconds. If the tie cannot do this it will not hold up over an entire day.

Choose both a pattern and color that aligns well with what you currently have in your closet. You will need to have a minimum of one suit and shirt that matches the tie or it will be useless.

Thank you for reading my article on how to buy a tie. Please bookmark this page and come back to it whenever necessary.

Tips To Buy A Woman's Tuxedo

By Anthony Suzuki Macho

The woman's tuxedo is one of the most overlooked garment in formal wear today. This is great for the woman trying to be unique and yet look great at the same time.

This article will give you some useful tips to use when purchasing a woman's tuxedo. You will learn about styles and accessories that are popular today.

Make sure that you decide to wear a woman's tuxedo before you do anything. Many women think they can just alter a man's tuxedo, but this never turns out as well as it could.

Next you should take a look at the tuxedo shirt. You have a few different options to choose from, but I suggest you wear a shirt with French cuffs. These shirts are much sexier than their usual counterparts.

Next, you will have to decide between a bow tie, ascot, or standard tie. My recommendation is that you choose an ascot to take away the masculinity that the other versions initiate.

The cummerbund or vest are the only options to consider when covering the midsection. Consider wearing a cummerbund to flatten your stomach and flatter your figure.

Wearing heels with your tuxedo is not only acceptable, but preferred. Heels will do the same great things for you in tuxedos as they do in dresses.

As always thanks for reading. Bookmark this article and you will never have to worry about what type of woman's tuxedo to wear again.
