| Men's Fashion - 5 Tips For Camouflaging and Not One Involves Fatigues |
| Thursday, July 31, 2008 |
| Hey guys, do you look in the mirror, wish you looked hip, and cool without looking like you stepped out of a music video or Saturday Night Fever? If you think you need some help, then you probably do. If you don't think you need help, then you definitely do! So, read on for some great dressing guidelines from me. Dressing men is one of my favorite things, because just a few tips can make a big difference for you. Of course, I do love menswear and helping men look and feel their best. Moreover, because I have dressed many men on television and in private life. I know just what is needed. First, it does not matter what shape you are. You can have a body like Brad Pitt or Sponge Bob, and still look great, IF you know what to wear. Second, buy what fits you regardless of the size on the tag. All designers cut clothes differently. For example, Hugo Boss tends to cut narrow. Some of his labels, especially in small sizes, run very tight and narrow and would barely fit your baby brother. You may need to size up to get the right fit. Third, if you have to disguise some extra pounds or gain a few pounds because the only six-pack you own is in your fridge, then read on for some more dressing tips. Broaden your chest: - Lighter colors and interesting details around shoulders in clothing will make you appear broader
- Avoid clothes fitting too tight unless you are going for the scrawny, rock star look
- Horizontal stripes will be your friend, and make you look wider, verticals will only make you look narrow
- Heavier, textured fabrics and knits will give you needed upper body bulk
- Slightly wider lapels on jackets (now don't get crazy on me and do a total 70's flashback)
- Layering shirts is another trick that will add dimension to your chest
Take my belly...please! - Vertical stripes will give you a long lean look
- Dark and muted colors are best to camouflage, along with lightweight, soft, matte fabrics. Never shiny Boogie Nights specials
- Shirts too baggy will only make you look bigger. Skim the body, Baby!
- Wear your pants at your waist guys! Under the belly will make you look heavier. Trust me on this one!
- Opt for suits that are dark, pinstripes will be amazing
- Try a 1 or 2 button jacket to give you a sleek silhouette
- Monochromatic dressing will always make you look like you lost 10 lbs
Do not forget to look at the rear view: If you have a full-size butt: - Pants need to be a bit looser (I am not talking clown styles here), relaxed, easy fit. Flat fronts will work but make sure they are not so tight that the front pockets stick out, go up a size if needed
- Waistline of pant should not be too high. Otherwise, your butt will look even bigger. Think elephant!
- Keep pants dark and sleek. Pants with a lot of whistles and bells will add attention to hip area
If you have a pancake butt: - Back pocket details such as flaps add heft
- Baggy pants still not good here, makes your butt look flatter
- Jackets and long shirt tails that hit below the hip are best for camouflage
Check your neck: - Thin necks need a wide spread dress shirt collar to give width
- Thick necks should stick to a regular point collars and open neck styles look awesome
- V necks will make your neck look thinner, crew neck will emphasize thickness
- Turtlenecks on long necks only, makes short necks look thicker and well... like a turtle
Arms and the man - Great arms, flaunt them with short sleeves and tapered shirts
- Skinny arms need more fabric around them to look fuller, layers again, will be your friend, along with sweaters
- Thin arms look better long sleeved shirts with sleeves rolled, and then short sleeves. Gives your arms bulk
- Big biceps need full cut shirts, and sometimes custom shirts are best to get a perfect fit
So there, you have my tips for emphasizing the positive and eliminating the negative. Hey guys, I do not think I have worked with anyone who has not looked significantly better with these few adjustments. My fourth tip is to find a fabulous tailor to achieve great style and terrific fitting clothes (this may take time to find the "one" but it is well worth the effort!). And my fifth and final tip is to know your skin color and best colors and use them to your advantage. Darker colors really do diminish your not -so -hot spots and light colors highlight your hot ones. Beyond darks and lights, there are cool and warm colors, mixing patterns, etc. but those pointers are for future articles, so stay tuned.

| Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" - We love you! |
| Friday, April 18, 2008 |
How did you ever survive in life before Google? Every time I login logon or surf, it begins with Google. Google, we love you!
We were browsing on Google last night and found the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on the Google Search Home Page. We typed into the search box "discount designer handbags." Then, hit "I'm Feeling Lucky."
Yippee! We were really happy to see eFashionHouse.com listed on Google as the "lucky" website. Then we tried other search terms like "designer purses" and eFashionHouse.com popped open again. That I'm Feeling Lucky button really works. Google, we love you!
So, the next time you are looking for a new designer purse or discount designer handbag, just type into Google search and hit the I'm Feeling Lucky button. It will take you directly to the right place to shop without having to filter through all the unrelated criteria.
Here's information from Google about the I'm Feeling Lucky button:
After you've entered your search terms, you might want to try the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, which takes you straight to the most relevant website that Google found for your query. You won't see the search results page at all, but if you did, the "I'm Feeling Lucky" site would be listed on top.
For example, if you're looking for the Stanford University homepage, just enter Stanford and click "I'm Feeling Lucky" instead of the Google Search button. Google will take you directly to "www.stanford.edu." Labels: authentic designer handbags, designer purses, efashionhouse, efashionhouse.com, feeling lucky |

| Fashion on a Budget - Designer handbags, clothing and shoes |
| Monday, April 14, 2008 |
By Woody Lee
There has been a lot of talk about the economy lately and the forecast isn't looking too good which means it's time to start looking at ways to tighten the budget and cut back on the things you don't absolutely need. Though the thought about going without might seem grim at first, there is a silver lining when it comes to shopping. Just because you have less to spend on fashion doesn't mean you have to stop trying completely, following is a list of tips that help the budget fashionista in all of us keep looking fabulous.
Clothing
I thought starting off with the most obvious wardrobe item was a good way to kick off the list especially since a lot of us have already started thinking of spring wear, plus shopping for clothing on a budget is often the easiest. Although no one likes to worry about the economy, one positive result is retailers know that consumers are holding onto their money tighter than before, so they are more willing to hold sales and make higher decreases to entice consumers to spend. Here's a great way to take advantage of dropping prices but still come out with the stuff you want:
Be a savvy sale shopper: I already mentioned how you might notice more sales and promotions from retailers in an effort to boast slow profits, so as a savvy shopper it pays off to know when your favorite store is holding a 'secret sale' (join a mailing list or befriend the sales staff to become a VIP), end-of-season sales (household names like Banana Republic and Macys hold seasonal sales where items are 40% off), watch for the buy-one-get-one-half off type of coupon sales because you can buy the non-sale item you've been eyeing and get another item half off.
Shop online: Even the most experienced shopper can find it daunting to keep up with the sale schedule at their favorite stores which is why shopping online has become so popular. Gone were the days where you weren't sure of your size or if something looked good, most online shops allow for easy returns. But it's better to know the types of clothes you look good so you won't have to mail back a bunch of returns. The best part about shopping online is that often times you can find the same brands at cheaper prices because an online retailer doesn't have to pay for retail space. If you don't believe me, I found Rachel Pally dresses at 50% off at DesignersLA.com or check out ShopBop and click on the 70% off sale section (you'll be amazed at what you see). Plus if you sign up for your favorite e-tailers email list, you'll get even more savings with sale announcements and coupon codes sent right to your inbox. What's easier than that?
Invest in classics: Though sale shopping can result in a ton of savings, to really save money try not to buy something you won't end up wearing just because it is on sale. Sure a designer label pink suede skirt at 80% off is a great deal but if it's hot outside or pink suede isn't in style when the weather cools, you've wasted money that could have been used toward something you'll wear again and again. Trends are always fun but invest in a couple of classics that can take you through an entire season. I'm thinking white wide-leg pants and a yellow dress but you can pick your favorite spring staples.
Vintage: If the thought of secondhand shops scares you than you haven't been shopping at the right vintage store. Vintage can be ultra-hip and you'll be surprised to see what you find in the right vintage store. Make sure to find one that offers items in good condition and reasonable prices (some are actually expensive) and go hunting for shift dresses, capris and 50's style blouses that have been seen in all the fashion magazines. Plus there are even some great online vintage shops (JillsConsignment and LuxuryVintage) that carry amazing stuff in awesome condition.
Handbags and Accessories
It doesn't matter if there are tough times or not, fashionistas are constantly on the lookout for bargains on designer handbags. The good thing is that a good designer handbag has a much longer run than designer clothing because if you invest in the right designer purse or designer jewelry you can wear it for many months as opposed to changing up your clothes due to trends and weather conditions. And even though designer "it" bags cost more than ever, the average designer label handbag costs $2k, I've done my homework and found ways to score a hot designer bag, designer jewelry or accessory from Prada, Gucci, Tod's, Chloe, Anya Hindmarch, Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Burberry, and even Chanel at up to 70% off retail. Don't believe me, see for yourself:
Shop online: As with shopping for clothing, shopping online for designer accessories can really pay off. Unlike clothes, you don't have to worry about how an item will fit because most reputable sites will list the exact measurements and provides photos from all angles so you can see exactly what you're getting. Since online retailers don't have as much overhead as say a big department store (it's hard to find a designer handbag in a small boutique), they are able to offer substantially more savings for the exact same purse. I recently picked up an authentic Chanel handbag at for 50% off retail at eFashionHouse.com and the selection is endless. Based on my budget (and a little bit of principal) I would never pay full price for a designer handbag because I know if I wait for the "it" bag craze to die down, I'll visit my favorite site and get the bag 40% off. You can also shop for brand new designer jewelry from Chanel, Gucci and others at more than 60% off.
Wait for end-of-season sales: All of the major department stores mark designer handbags off toward the end of the season an although it's nice to carry a bag as soon as the season starts, if you can hold out, you can find what you're looking for. But if you plan to wait for these sales, make sure you are the first to know because inventory goes fast and is usually sold out the day a sale starts (if you miss the boat, visit the discount designer handbag web sites who sell authentic bags at a discounts year round).
Out with the old, in with the new: If you are as much of a handbag lover as I am than you probably have a couple of designer handbags lying around that you haven't used in a while which means you can afford to get rid of them. If you sell these unused accessories on eBay or to a consignment shop, you can have some extra money to spend on the designer handbag you really want. Try it out, it won't hurt as much as you think.
Vintage: More than even clothes, vintage designer handbags, jewelry and accessories (wallets, scarves, etc.) can not only save you money but even outlast many of the trendier bags. Sites like LuxuryVintage sell authentic Chanel handbags in amazing condition (little to no wear) for as low as $400 and since Chanel handbags are timeless, this is a small price to pay for a bag you can wear for years to come.
Don't be a snob: In addition to the luxury leaders like Marc Jacobs and Prada, the handbag heyday has allowed for smaller labels like Elaine Turner, Tano and Pietro Alessandro to make a name for themselves. Often made from the same high end materials as couture fashion houses, it's easier than ever to score an ultra-soft trendy handbag, like the Elaine Turner Paige Python Frame Bag or the Alex Tote, for a fraction of the cost of an expensive designer label.
Cheap Chic: We usually don't like any handbags that fall into the $15-$40 range but we have to say that lines like Melie Bianco and Murval are quickly making us change our mind. We wouldn't recommend spending your money on a bunch of cheap, poorly made handbags but if you want the look of the moment handbag, than Melie Bianco will probably have it. Visit DesignersLA.com and be amazed at how Melie Bianco manages to make such stylish and gorgeous handbags at such unbelievable prices.
Shoes
There is not a lot of advice we have on shoes because we think that most savvy shoppers (who are women at least) have this category covered but we'll include a couple of pointers just in case you need a refresher: Invest in a good pair: Shoes are quickly becoming like designer handbags in the fact that they are wildly expensive and there are now a ton of "must-have" styles. Christian Louboutin is the leader of the pack, followed closely by Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blanik but finding a pair of these beauties at a discount can be pretty tricky but not unheard of. If must have another pair of shoes (to add to the 30 you already have), than try to invest in as much shoe as you can afford. Maybe we walk a lot but we've found that investing in a good pair of shoes (leather upper and leather sole) can take us a long way. Online: There are a ton of online sites selling only footwear and it's sometimes hard to go through them all but the one good thing about so many choices is that there is more competition which means that price points will be lower. We haven't found a ton of online sites that we like to shop at for shoes because we tend to shop for more high end brands (goes back to that investment thinking) and there aren't a lot of sites that sell expensive shoes but one place I have found luck at saving money is eBay (yes, eBay). I would never purchase a designer handbag from eBay because there is no way to guarantee that you are actually getting an authentic designer handbag but shoes are less likely to be knocked off. But be prepared to search often because the selection is limited however you can find some amazing deals (brand new Lanvin flats for $200 or Prada heels for $100). So brush up on your bidding war skills because wining a pair of Manola Blanik Mary Janes is harder than actually walking in them. Sales: Like clothes and designer accessories, the best and easiest way to save money is to know when your favorite shoe store is having a sale, but the early bird gets the worm in shoes sales because if there is one thing women have in common its shoes.
So although a slow economy can be a huge drain on your wallet, just remember that looking good doesn't have to suffer a recession as well. Become an experienced (and smart) shopper and you'll ride out tough times with the shirt on your back. Woody Lee is a free lance writer, blogger and fashion addict living in New York City.

| Times are tough, but women are still buying designer handbags |
| Saturday, March 29, 2008 |

It doesn't matter what the economy is doing, women still want to feel good about carrying a designer handbag. Women are still buying purses. They may not be spending thousands of dollars on a new purse, but nonetheless, they are still buying bags.
There are the very high priced designer handbags like Fendi, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, Lanvin and Chanel for the upper crust. These designs usually run into the thousands for a new purse. Of course, you get high quality craftmanship, materials and hardware if you are willing to and can afford to pay top dollar for a new purse. But, nowadays, it seems as thought the "it" bag craze has somewhat subsided. It hasn't stopped, it's just not as important anymore as it used to be. Now, the people who can afford to spend a few thousand dollars on a new handbag do, and the others find an alternative route to getting the bag of their dreamy needs.
Many new designers are hitting the market like no other time in the history of designer handbags. It's a tough and competitive business. The cost of manufacturing, outsourcing and importing all take its toll on the final product, its price and availability.
Women will find a way to get themselves a new designer handbag even during tough times. With the cost of gasoline competing with fashion, a women needs to think creatively to obtain that new tote bag. Some of the moderately priced designers are doing very well these days at supplying just the right product at the right price with perfect timing.
Elaine Turner introduced a leather handbag collection with much success in the early 2000's. Women love her handbags because they are priced right, made extremely well and have a classic design and style. The Elaine Turner handbag collection is very sophisticated, well made and priced from $200 - $500 each. Elaine Turner uses many reptile embossed leathers in her styles. She is sold at majoy department stores throughout the USA. Her home base is Dallas, Texas.
Paying $2000 for a new handbag may not be realistic for everyone, but $200 may just do the trick. The Tano leather handbag ranges from about $100 - $200 each. The bags are funky, comfortable and roomy. Another designer we'll all soon grow to love is Melie Bianco. Her handbags range from $50 - $70 and are constructed of synthetic leather making them very eco-friendly. Melie Bianco takes the best from the best and designs handbags every woman can afford to own.
A few years ago two sisters from Paris (France), Murial and Valerie, introduced the Murval Handbag collection. Murval handbags are very cost effective with prices ranging from $20 - $50. They haven't quite caught on in the USA as much as they have in Europe, but they will become very popular as time goes on.
It's only natural that women get what they want, when they want it. It may not always be exactly as planned, but as the old saying goes, "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you'll get what you need." When it comes to a new designer handbag, regardless of the economy, women always get what they need!

| Color Dominates Mode Accessories |
| Wednesday, February 27, 2008 |
Toronto, ON -- Color was the big story at the Mode Accessories Show, held recently at the Doubletree International Plaza Hotel in Toronto.
Mode exhibitors played host to 3,906 buyers from across Canada, who shopped for all types of fashion accessories in happy, eye-popping brights for spring and summer 2008, reports the show's organizer, Two Plus One Group.
Among the colors, sunny yellows appeared to be the season's first pick, followed by hot pinks, reds and oranges. Cheryl and Shirley Bubbs of The Thoughtful Touch in Winnipeg, Manitoba, also added teal blues to the range for their store.
When asked what the buyers were ordering at his booth, Vahe Dekirmendjian of High Fashion Handbags in Toronto said, "They're buying every color; strong yellows, reds and fuschia." His collection of designer high fashion handbags showed also multi-coloured designs, and graphic black and white, or red and white combinations. Metallics were strong, particularly in burnished platinum or bronze. Metal studs and hardware embellishments were more sophisticated used in combination with crystals and metallic mirrors. Dekirmendjian revealed that the newest hot trend was the patented graduated color treatment for handbags. There were show stoppers like the fiery red handbag which graduated to a brown black at the base and the large teal tote that graduated to a blue black base. It appeared that High Fashion had some of the season's best picks. Brian Bailey, Canada's award winning women's wear designer and host of Project Runway Canada was spotted in the booth, as was Sandra Pittana, the fashion contributor for Cityline, a popular television show based in Toronto.
Jewelry was bold and newness came from unusual forms and shapes of gemstones or exquisite detailing. Many were statement pieces and reflected savvy confidence of the person who wore them. As for pieces which echoed nature, chunkiness seemed to be the key, and sentiments evoking the adventure of a safari offered a sophisticated take on the call of the wild.
Although jewelry is the largest segment and a stable for the fashion accessory industry, handbags were truly outstanding this season and deservedly reigned as the "it" category with the most demand and excitement. Riding this handbag craze, business totes and computer/laptop cases were taking on more fashionable forms. Great examples were spotted at two Canadian designers: Karen Wilson's (represented by Reia n Studio) and Mary Beth Designs with This Is J.
It was also noted that belts are gaining more attention as the great variety of colors, textures, finishes, and embellishments found in handbags were applied to their design.
Hats and sunglasses are essentials for summer retailing and there were lots of options at the show. Hats that provide sun protection and travel well in crushable styles were in demand. Sunglasses offered instant glamour and fun in colourful plastic frames.
The next Mode Accessories Show is scheduled for August 10-12, 2008 and will showcase collections for the Fall/Winter season. For more information, visit www.mode-accessories.com or call 416-510-0114.

| I would never rent a designer handbag |
| Sunday, December 23, 2007 |
By Woody Lee
In case you haven’t noticed, designer handbags have made headlines lately because of the rising costs, increased demand and crazed enthusiasm surrounding the latest “it” bags. As a self-professed designer handbag connoisseur, I am constantly on the look out for the latest handbag trends. There’s one trend in particular that irks me more than a row of fake Goyard and Chanel handbags on display on 5th Avenue – handbag rentals. The Media is hyped with coercing people into joining a designer handbag rental service to carry a designer handbag in lieu of actually purchasing one. Although renting can be a smart alternative in many situations (car rentals, apartment rentals, cabana rentals, etc.), handbag rentals are not exactly your best investment.
Like with living accommodations, financial advisors most often say buying makes for a sound investment because your money goes toward something that can one day recant its value or even make you money. Renting neither makes you more nor does it provide you with something to sell, so why would anyone “rent” an expensive designer handbag. A lot of people like the idea of renting their favorite handbags because it minimizes the high expense associated with purchasing one or they like the idea of carrying a new handbag every month. But wouldn’t you rather put the hundreds of dollars it costs to rent a handbag (rental, membership and shipping fees) toward saving for the handbag of your dreams, rather than put a lot of money (at least $200/month) toward something that you don’t even own? Personally, I like to look around for the best deal and use my money to add to my growing handbag collection. And for the fashionistas who want to carry a new handbag every week or month to maintain status, your friends and co-workers will know you don’t actually “own” the handbags and are merely throwing your money away.
In addition to throwing your money down the drain, people who rent handbags take the risk of ultimately paying for the handbag they rent at above-retail costs. For instance, if your rented handbag is lost or stolen (which happens often), the renter has to pay for the replacement cost which could be in the thousands of dollars. And don’t even get me started on damage fees when renting a bag. How many times have you been out to a bar and spilled on your brand new designer handbag or dropped it on the ground. Handbag rental services charge you for damage (other than normal wear and tear) to the handbag.
Despite a bad investment and the stress related to worrying about lost or theft of the rented handbag, one of the biggest concerns I have with renting a handbag is “germs.” When your rental handbag arrives, you have no idea who rented it beforehand. You have no idea what was carried inside the bag or where the bag had been prior to it arriving at your doorstep. Throughout the year there had been studies released about the many germs and bugs that thrive inside a handbag, including e-coli, salmonella, bacillus, superbugs and many more viruses. But what’s even worse than the fact that it is hard to have a germ-free bag, is that handbags pick up these germs from normal use (using public restrooms, dirty make-up bags, etc.). Now think about all the places rented handbags may have been -- you get the picture.
Plus there are many other options to renting a designer handbag which entail actually owning designer handbags such as:Shop around: There are a lot of web sites that offer today’s hottest names in designer handbags at discounted prices, like eFashionHouse and Overstock to name a few.
Take advantage of sales: most big name retailers have great sales throughout the year, and although the handbags aren’t as discounted as the online stores for discount designer handbags, you can still find a deal. Layaway: Some web sites, like BrandsBoutique, offer layaway plans so you can pay over time but still grab a handbag when you see it. Go Vintage: Vintage handbags are back in a big way. In fact some handbag websites are now offering vintage bags and even consider them premium inventory. So don’t waste money renting a pre-owned bag when you can purchase one for the same price as a rental! Visit online shops like luxuryvintage and jillsconsignment. Save: One of the smartest options to owning a must-have designer handbag is putting your money in a savings account until you have enough money to buy the handbag you want. Plus, once you are able to afford the designer bag, your investment item can be resold (today’s goods are tomorrow’s vintage). Some of the designer handbags resell at a higher cost than your investment.
If there is a designer handbag you are considering to get, but don’t have the money to spend to get it, think twice before using a handbag rental service. You might think you’re saving money, but in reality your investment actually has no pay off.
