Every year fashion changes. Sometimes a style from years back gets re-vamped with a modern twist – remember puffball skirts? – or a popular style gets updated. It can be difficult keeping up with what’s hot and what’s not, which is where blogs come in handy, keeping you in the know as to what’s going on in the world of celebrity fashion.

This year, the main fashion trend is prints, prints and more prints. Abstract, geometric, bold, colourful prints to make you stand out in a crowd, or pretty, floaty and floral to bring a touch of summer to your wardrobe. If dresses aren’t your thing, go for straight-leg, high waisted jeans in a skinny fit, or trousers in an ultra-wide leg. Shoes should be ballet flats or colourful sandals – such a relief from cramming your feet into Ugg boots all winter!

In the world of accessories, the natural, ethnic look comes into its own. Team plastic jewels with large wooden beads for an up-to-the-minute necklace, and couple with huge earrings. Belts, headbands and scarves are very much in demand, with the bold colours of the season being carried on here. But be careful not to clash! Another must-have is the big bag. Tote bags in particular are hot, as are any bags made to carry gadgets such as mobile phones or laptops.

If you can’t afford the latest clothes, shoes or accessories, make the most of what you already have by updating your hair and make-up. Posh Spice has done it again – the ‘Pob’ is this season’s hair ‘do’ – an elegant graduated bob (shorter in the back, tapering down to a point to frame your face) which suits almost every face shape. If you are blessed with an oval face and don’t fancy having bits of hair hanging in your eyes, thank Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst for bringing in the short, boyish look. For longer hair; the choppy, messy, incredibly stylish razor cut is back, in various formats. Go for face-framing layers around the ears, and experiment with natural-hold gels and waxes for texture. If you prefer one-length hair to choppy layers, the sleek, straight look is also going to be popular this year. Dig out those straighteners and flatten those curls.

Makeup comes in two accent colours this year: blue and lilac. The ‘cats eye’ look is coupled with a dramatic use of colours on the lid. Try Bourjois Petite Guide to Style in Fleur Bleue for a dark smoky look. Eyebrows are heading away from the pencil-thin line and towards the more natural, 80′s style. But keep them tidy; you want Brooke Shields not Noel Gallagher.

Fashion for men in 2008 is just as daring, if not quite as bright. The ultimate fashion item for men this spring is the cardigan. Muted shades of beige, grey, and the ever-present black are the colours to go for, and they suit everyone. But if you want to make a bold statement, check out the print that’s in this season; plaid. Either bold print trousers or on a belt, plaid is ‘in’ this spring.

And for the warmer weather, don’t forget the humble shorts. Short shorts are popular for men this season, especially when combined with shirt, tie and jacket. but don’t go too overboard with the colours; khaki, off-white and black are the safest combinations for this relatively new look.

Black is one of this season’s colours; go for summery clothing such as short sleeves and shorts in light materials, and avoid the gothic ensemble of heavy materials and baggy trousers. Or, if you dislike wearing dark clothing, opt for the other ‘in’ colour; pink. Salmon, baby or even bright fuschia, traditional styles are given a modern twist in varying shades of pink. Again, stick to relatively traditional clothing when wearing this somewhat flamboyant colour, and you won’t go far wrong.

So what should you avoid in 2008? Fashion faux pas include wide belts, tiny bags, baby doll dresses and bare legs. Solid colours are a no-no, as are metallic ensembles. A little bling is fine on accessories, but try to avoid looking like you’ve wrapped yourself in tinfoil. In your make-up bag, throw out all those coloured eyeliners and clear lipglosses and avoid the smoky-eye look during the day.

It’s that time of the year again where young women all over the country will be thinking about how to be the star of their own show on Prom Night. Choosing their dress for this special occasion is much the same as selecting what to wear to the Oscars.

It’s the opportunity to shine and steal the limelight, a chance to walk down the red carpet, to find the perfect dress to express who you are or make a fashion statement! To ease the worry out of finding the right dress for you a game plan is important, so take at the look at the following tips and confidently go about creating your special look for this very special evening.

Your game plan involves choosing the ideal ensemble of shoes, jewelry, hair style and accessories, corsage and purse/clutch. Obviously the highlight of your look is your dress, so this is where we will concentrate our efforts.

The dress

Good Fit: A good fit is essential here so try on lots of dresses.

Experiment: Don’t be afraid to experiment with something you wouldn’t normally wear. What you see on the hanger isn’t always what you see when it’s on you. So experiment, be bold.

Have you got shapely legs? Try something short and sweet. Fashion analysts are advising hanky-hems to highlight shapely legs and showcase shoes. Are you more traditional in your approach to Prom Night?; Why not try a vintage 50’style tea length dress. Maybe you prefer the timeless Cinderella ball gown. You will feel special and princess-like in a style that suits most body shapes.

Personal Style and Taste: If experimenting is not for you then ensure that your overall look reflects your own personal style and taste. Consider whether a one-piece dress is for you or whether you are comfortable in a belly-baring, two-piece outfit. Long or short? Slim and straight or a full ball gown type skirt? Sexy slits or no slit? Daring in a plunging neckline or more modest? Consider fabrics and embellishments: satin, beads, sequins frills or prints.

Color: Color is definitely a consideration for your dress. Black is very chic and sophisticated. Pastels are great for that fairytale princess look. Bold primary colors and tones grab attention. White isn’t just for weddings – though the jury may be out on that one.

Classy and Sassy: Do not over due things. This is your chance to shine. By all means sparkle but too much can have the opposite effect. Sassy is in. Garish is out.

Hollywood Chic: If you really want to step out of your comfort zone, try taking some tips from your favorite Hollywood celebrity. Have you spent days dreaming of the celebrity-inspired dress? Go ahead and make your dream come true.

Trend Setter: Are you a fashion trend fiend? Well fashion analysts are predicting for 2008 that the way to go is short! Short is ok for Prom Night. Shopping around you are sure to find many dazzling and sophisticated styles to choose from. Check out the 2008 collections from some of the contemporary Prom Dress Designers like Sparkle, Javani or Tiffany.

Now you’ve got your dress you can start to build up your look by choosing shoes and accessories etc. that will compliment or contrast, blend in or bring into focus your dress.

Remember, you don’t have to be a trend setter or a fairytale Cinderella to be the star of the show on your Prom Night… you just have to be you. There are many ways to feel glamorous and special and there are many internet suppliers of popular dresses and looks for 2008 that can make your special evening a memorable one. You just need to do some homework and eventually you will find the unique style that is just perfect for you.

So I live kinda far away from quality shopping….so I can’t just go browse at a drop of a hat….I’ve been looking for a good place to see 2008 collections of sunglasses and handbags ect from Chanel, Dior, ect…I don’t really need a site that sales “discount” stuff…even if they are authentic I’m a little hesitant of buying pricey things online…also looking at those sites I don’t alway get an accurate representation…they don’t have the whole collection or they have the knock off versions that look nothing like the original much of the time…so basically I just want a good up to date guide of sorts…..
Thank you =)
