5 Reasons to Fashion Shop Online

December 26, 2019February 26, 2020 - by Richard Beck

When the Internet was young, people didn’t shop online. There were many reasons for this; not least because the general public didn’t have a clue how to use the Internet (or indeed a computer), but also horror stories of card fraud and identity theft populated the headlines.

Then, with the advent of sites such as Amazon, consumer confidence increased as did their knowledge of how to navigate websites. But it wasn’t until the late 90’s that clothing and fashion websites started to appear.

Having being dismissed as a potential online business model, clothes shops began proving that people ARE willing to buy their t-shirts, jeans and whatever else through websites, and not just in-store.

Vintage Style Clothing – Making a Fashion Statement

October 31, 2019November 8, 2019 - by Richard Beck

Choosing vintage style clothing allows you to create the image you want to create, one that is uniquely you.

Making a statement means not finding others wearing your same outfit. We all cringe at the thought of seeing ourselves coming and going. I remember, at my high school graduation party, seeing another girl wearing the exact same dress as me. I wanted to disappear.

You can avoid that disaster by choosing a vintage style dress and pairing it with a genuine vintage handbag or shoes.

Or choose vintage-like accessories to add to an authentic vintage dress.

In either case, you are placing elements that surprise and add to the costume. You are making a fashion statement. You are recognizing truly dated clothes and adding the touch that brings them up-to-date.

There’s lots of leeway for you to personalize your style by picking what is comfortable and looks right on you.…

With a name that represents the celebratory occasion and the glamour, an evening gown brings to mind high society gatherings, celebrations for friends and family, ceremonies or even film and music awards and also even a touch of exuberance. As opposed to an everyday dress that may be designed with practicality and economy in mind, an evening dress benefits from more luxurious fabrics, intricate tailoring and glittering or ornate detailing, features that mark it out as something a little special.

In the days where your dress style was perhaps the only opportunity you had to make your impression on an event, the evening gown certainly had the ability to make that mark. It would be chosen to exhibit just the attributes the wearer wanted to portray, be they wealth, beauty, grace, opulence or individuality. These days occasions may be less formal and the opportunities to make ones mark …

December 24, 2018June 24, 2019 - by Richard Beck

Vintage dresses today are as beautiful as they were in the eras from which they originated, but now they stand out even more! A vintage dress is your very own piece of history and personality, with styles that can suit anyone-elegant, flirty, feminine, wild, colorful, refined, and much more. Many modern fashion designers are borrowing from older styles in their creations, and while these are considered retro styles or retro inspired, a true vintage piece was made in the era it represents, not by a manufacturer today. Styles of dress throughout the 1900s had an evolution all their own, with each decade presenting incredible and unmistakable flare.

The 1900s marked the beginning of the slimming and lengthening of the feminine silhouette. Long skirts brushing the ground, small waists, and broad hats were exemplary of this period, including the corset that we see in many costume dramas.
