What Umbrella is trendy this winter for you?

Fall and rains always come together. So, it is essential to have an Umbrella to protect us from that cold water drops falling from the sky and intended to ruin our clothes and hair. However, if we think more positively Umbrella is not only a practical item, it can serve as an aesthetic one too, and become a great accessory to add to our wardrobe.

Reflecting in this manner I came to a conclusion that we need to know about Umbrella Trends for Fall 2010 badly. And here I am with a list of trendiest umbrellas for the season.

Plaid umbrellas - Plaids will never come out of fashion. They’re classic! Plaid Umbrella will be a good investment because it suits clothing of nearly all colors and tones. This makes it ideal for daily use.

Leopard-printed umbrellas - Leopard is a hot trend. Lots of garments come featuring it and as it turns out leopard accessories are very fashionable as well.

Bright umbrellas - It’s time to buy an Umbrella of the most screaming color available! Purple, red, orange, electric blue – any live tone you can find.

Polka dot umbrellas - I’m a fan of polka dots, so I’m really happy this trend is hot now. Polka dots are just cool and I can hardly find explanation why it has become so popular now if not due to that.

Umbrellas with double-layer décor - Such umbrellas are becoming hotter and hotter every season. The trick is that on the outside the Umbrella is usually duller and of a more reserved color. However, on the inside such an Umbrella is usually very jazzy and mood-improving.

Feminine umbrellas - I’m not sure we can say ‘feminine’ about an Umbrella but it was that word that came to my mind when I saw umbrellas with lace, embroidery, glittering stones, bows and ribbons. Such umbrellas look cute.

Transparent Umbrellas - This type of umbrellas is very stylish and looks great. Besides, you can see through it.

Umbrellas that change color under rain - This is the most impressive trend of Fall 2010. Be sure people will notice you! Something I wouldn't miss for sure.

Umbrellas of unusual shapes - These umbrellas are very interesting to look at, and they always focus attention of the passers-by. And we love that, don’t we?

So what all you waiting for? Get going all you my stylish blog readers. Hope you invest in the right trend. Njoy this fall !!!

Savvy Shoppers

As technology advances, so does the comfort level that both men and women have when shopping on the internet.

Before purchasing a product for the home or apparel, consumers are researching the item(s) on the internet to save both time and money.

Consumer shopping habits have changed dramatically over the last decade. Shoppers are focusing their shopping efforts specifically on their favorite retailers more often than in recent years.

Shoppers are more educated today and will wait for sales and incentives rather than paying full price for an item.

Retailers are challenged to offer creative incentives to motivate customers to "buy now" through exclusive web, in-store, and shipping offers.

Today's consumers expects retailers to maintain "user friendly" web sites including high resolution photos, quick response, detailed product information, and customer service.

Zero Waste Fashion

Zero-waste design isn’t a new technology or material. Instead, it’s a new way of thinking—a philosophy that forces you to challenge existing techniques and become a smarter designer. Technique-wise, it involves fitting all the flat pieces of your clothing pattern like a jigsaw puzzle so no fabric is wasted. Considering that roughly 15 percent of the fabric is discarded when a typical garment is made, the cumulative effect of leaving behind no waste has far-reaching environmental consequences. More than that, however, zero waste about working within those constraints to invent beautiful new forms of fashion.


For all my bloggers I have an interesting article to share. Here it goes :
