The 2010 Line
Jun 22nd
GUESS Swimwear has just released their 2010 fashions, and not a moment too soon as summer is just around the corner. This year’s fashions include something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for something that will turn heads, or something that will be comfortable and conservative, there’s something in the GUESS Swimwear 2010 line. We’ll start from the top and work our way down, covering each basic style of top, bottom, and one piece swimwear.
Our first top is the bandeau bra. This top has a very retro styling, evoking images of 1960s beach parties. This is also a very conservative style, by today’s standards, and a good choice for the modest woman that wants a two-piece swimsuit. The nearly tube-top-like shape of the front both conceals and accentuates the breasts quite nicely with the garment’s shape. Certainly a good choice for any pool- or beach-goer.
Our next top is the halter bra. This modest yet sexy style takes both its name and much of its styling from the halter top blouse. The two cups that cover the breast extend and taper up into the straps that meet behind the neck, and similarly the outer sides wrap around and taper to form the back strap, resulting in a fit that is comfortable, modest, and sexy.
Our final top is the triangle bra. When most people think of a bikini top, the triangle top is what comes to mind. Composed of two triangles over the breasts (bonus points if you’ve figured out where “triangle bra” comes from now), that are connected by a ring or strap between the two in the front, and two sets of strings that tie both behind the neck and behind the back. This allows for a very sexy look while still offering appropriate cover.
Starting in on the bottoms, we have the Brazilian bottoms. These are, for lack of better terms, the mid-ground between the traditional bikini cut and the thong, offering a partial covering of the backside, without being all-revealing. For the woman wanting heads to turn, or just wanting a more all-over tan, the Brazilian bottoms are a great option.
On the more modest side, GUESS swimwear offers a variety of full-coverage bottoms. From boy short styles, to standard bikini cut bottoms, to more retro styles, these bottoms offer a more conservative style, while still giving a comfortable fit and an attractive look.
Both Brazilian and full-coverage bottoms have some selections that come with a side-tie. These deserve special mention due to their more flexible fits, and arguably more seductive styling. For the woman wanting either or both, these are worth looking into.
For the woman wanting a change, or for the woman who just doesn’t like bikinis, GUESS swimwear has a full line of one piece swimwear. From more conservative one piece suits, to others that offer a plunging neckline, to still other that are more revealing cut-out pieces, there’s something for everyone. Whoever you might be, the one piece selection is worth checking out.
Women’s Rompers & Jumpers
Jun 22nd
They re-appeared on the fashion scene several years ago, and initially were received with mix reviews. But I have to admit, women’s rompers and jumpers (or jumpsuits) have indeed grown on me! I used to joke and refer to them as “baby clothes” - but as tends dictates - they are anything but kid-like! From dressy rompers, suitable for a night out with the girls - to more casual styles, for a day in the park or at the beach…these throwbacks are making a come-back!
There are many people who have varying opinions on rompers. Rompers are similar to jumpsuits; however, they tend to be shorts rather than long pants. A romper may have short sleeves or it may be sleeveless. It is possible to find rompers that have three quarter length sleeves. This season, they are being seen primarily in bright, solid colors, and they are also being seen with military inspired accents. They are generally constructed of jersey or cotton. Though you will find more dressy sets made of silk and poly/rayon blends. Many women view ropers as comfortable lounge wear for the home or a vacation. However, there are very few workplaces that would allow a woman to wear such a garment, so don’t press your luck and think you can wear one to work! Rompers tend to be highly fitted garments, and they can be quite unforgiving to a woman’s figure. You’ll definitely find plus size rompers, however - whether you be a size 2 or 18…it’s best to wear some sort of foundation garment or women’s body girdle (like Spanx) just to keep things smoothed down. There are women who believe that if a person is overweight, she should not wear one because it tends to emphasis bulges or extra body fat. However, it is possible to find jumpers that are designed for larger women. It is mostly a matter of what a woman is comfortable wearing.
Women’s jumpsuits can vary in length. They may be pants length or end in a Capri style length. Jumpsuits may have short sleeves, be sleeveless, or have a spaghetti strap style top. Jumpsuits, for the 2010/2011 fashion season, may be constructed of almost any type of material, including silk,cotton, jersey, or denim. This season, they are commonly being paired with gladiator sandals or espadrilles. Unlike ropers, jumpsuits are being seen on the runway in an explosion of different patterns and colors. Another popular feature of jumpsuits this season is a belted waistline. This is quite flattering to slim figures, and it is quite effective at producing an hour glass figure for women who do not have one. Jumpsuits are generally most flattering on slim women; however, if you are comfortable wearing one, then rock it.
Clothing Brands

Rocawear remains a favorite hip hop clothing brand that offers urban clothing, accessories and now fragrances for men, women and children. This dominant lifestyle hip hop clothing brand has maintained focus in providing clever innovation in fabrication and design to all its customers, proving that it is still one of the top name brands in the industry. With a fresh eye and a playful attitude to women’s urban fashion, the Dereon collection has gained much popularity in recent years by offering some of the hottest clothing, jewelry and handbags for women. The style and concept is inspired by three generations of women in singer Beyonce’s family, with the name “Deréon” paying tribute to Beyonce’s grandmother. With hot new styles being marketed around huge stars in Jay Z (Rocawear) and Beyonce (Dereon), these two hip hop clothing brands will continue to have a big impact on urban fashion for years to come.
Two more powerhouses in the hip hop clothing game are Sean John and Apple Bottoms. Apple Bottoms is a unique women’s urban fashion brand that was founded under the quote “A woman should not try to fit the clothes; the clothes should fit the woman” by multi-platinum superstar Nelly. Beside the popular Apple Bottoms jeans that are worn by many celebrities such as Oprah and Vivica Fox, Apple Bottoms also offers accessories, footwear and fragrance that will leave you looking and feeling your best. Sean “Diddy” Combs is the mastermind behind the sophisticated urban clothing brand Sean John. By offering some of the best clothing, accessories and fragrances for men, Sean John has quickly grown from an urban label to an international brand that you can find in top hip hop clothing stores. With Apple Bottoms going into its seventh year and Sean John reaching its twelfth, these two major hip hop clothing brands are here to stay.
The hip-hop fashion world completely changed with the emergence of Baby Phat and Coogi. Baby Phat is one of the most popular women’s clothing brands that offer unique clothing, accessories, lingerie, handbags and footwear. With the over the top personal style of founder Kimora Lee Simmons, the Baby Phat collection has a reputation that the world cannot seem to get enough of. Popularized in the U.S. as urban hip hop wear, Coogi fashion is known for its colorful knitwear that demands attention and will have all eyes on you. Coogi produces a wide range of urban t-shirts, jeans and jackets for men, women and children that you can also find in top hip hop clothing stores.
Gino Green Global creates garmental uniform for everyday people and with its signature 3 9’s (3 lower case g’s that represent the brands name) Gino Green Global remains a huge favorite in men’s urban clothing. You can find Gino Green Global clothing in some of the best urban clothing stores. Ed Hardy Clothing is brought to life by the creative genius of designer Christian Audigier and painter, printmaker and tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy. With legendary status among the tattoo community, Don Ed Hardy’s creations for the Ed Hardy Clothing line offer genuine and one-of-a-kind tees and footwear that meld American, Japanese, Cholo, tattoo, surf and hotrod iconography.
Next are two of the most creative brands of urban clothing in the industry today with many devotees. LRG Clothing (Lifted Research Group) designs clothes that represent a variety of influences and tend to be a reflection of the environment. Since 1999 LRG Clothing has provided urban clothing and accessories exclusively for men but in recent years have also launched a women and children’s division as well. When you’re speaking of urban wear you have to think Akademiks. Akademiks was popularized in 2001 by Brooklyn rapper Fabolous who wore Akademiks clothing on the inside cover of his debut album Ghetto Fabolous. Along with a large variety of men’s, women and kids urban clothing, Akademiks also offers women’s handbags and accessories.
There are many more brands for the street savvy consumer to choose from that offer urban clothing for both men and women such as Adidas, Nike, Enyce, Pelle Pelle, Pepe Jeans, G-Unit, Avirex, DKNY, Azzure, Girbaud, Southpole, Timberland, Bebe, Ecko Unlimited, Marc Ecko and Ecko Red. With style constantly changing, clothing brands diversify every year looking for new innovative ways to stay on top. The constant need of “the next big thing” presents great young hip hop clothing designers new challenges for the future.
Specialist Shoes
Jun 22nd
If you have very petite feet, large or wide feet then you may need to consider purchasing from a company who specialise in your requirements. I would suggest only purchasing from specialist companies as they make sure that the shoes will fit you correctly. Although a few shoe companies have a selection of specialist shoes they often are not correct. By purchasing from a specialist store you will have a constant source of well fitting shoes which you know fit your feet well.
When it comes to particular requirements it’s often refreshing to have a brand which you know will always fit you correctly because they keep your requirements in mind.
I would use the internet to search for shoe companies who cater for your needs. This can be a lot similar then trying to find information in other ways. Once you have accessed the companies who offer you what you need you can make an informed decision as to who will offer you the best shoes at the most competitive price.
It is recommended that you also go to forums and discussion boards, you will meet other people with the same shoe requirements and get advise and help.
It is also advisable to ask friends and family if they would recommend a company. It is always recommended to choose a company that have had good reviews and feedback from previous customers.
Although you will find that you shoes fit better there will be an increase in cost. In the long run you should always pay extra to have well fitting shoes. You can help the cost by purchasing with voucher codes and cask back options.
Show Your Elegance

We can see that the shape of a clock face has been changed a lot through years of improvement and innovation. At the very beginning, the shape is commonly made into a round circle without any embellishment, which looks very monotonous and stiff. However, with time passing by, the defects and roughness of ladies watches have been greatly improved. Now we don’t have any difficulty in finding a special watch for ourselves, and clock faces are made with various patterns. Ladies are effortless to choose a suitable watch to go with their outfits.
Another obvious improvement is the frame. When it comes to the size of the frame, you will see that the frame of ladies’ watches is slim and fragile compared with gents watches. These frames are made with sense of elegance and delicacy to stress the unique charm of ladies.
The fascination of ladies’ watches is enhanced by the fashionable straps. To fully exemplify the colorful fashion world, the straps are beautified with different colors, and women can wear them to attend various events, from the conventional meetings to the chic parties. These straps can also be sorted out from the leather material to metallic material with silver or gold color, and the latter is used widely to emphasize the value of a watch.
The last but not the least, it is the diamonds that boost the worth and popularity of a lady watch up and up. I don’t think there is a woman who can deny the lust of the shiny diamonds. The brilliant diamonds are the best staffs to enhance ladies’ confidence and beauty. Seeing the significance of the shining stones for a woman, designers have spent enormous efforts on exploiting the full-cut diamonds and make them the best and vital embellishment for lady watches.
In conclusion, ladies’ watch fashion has become a hot topic among the chic circle, if you are a leader of the fashion trend, you are impossible to make your wrist free from a decent branded watch. I guess it is time for you to find a gorgeous watch to light up your beauty and elegance.
