We’ve all fallen in love with Coach’s sophisticated style, all the way from its facing “C’s” to the beautiful jaquard material. The beauty of Coach handbags and accessories are timeless, versatile and understated. As if this weren’t enough, Coach has created a way to make that favorite Coach purse truly yours: Get it monogrammed! The Signature Stripe Collection – Tote Bag

It gets better – not only can your new Signature Stripe Collection tote be monogrammed on the strip, it is also reversible. It’s almost like having two handbags for the price of one. While one side features the signature stripe with your initials on it, the other side leaves out the stripe and presents a pocketed outer design.

The signature tote is a favorite among favorites. Truly versatile and classic in its design, the signature stripe tote is available in different sizes with the option to monogram and reverse! The reversible side is just as beautiful as the stripe side with a fashionable pocket with Coach’s emblem along the front.

The stripe on these new Coach bags is beautiful on its own. If you’d rather not show off your monogram, you can skip the initials and still enjoy the stripe design. Or, you can get it monogrammed and reverse it when you’re ready for a newer look.

But for people who can only afford to purchase a couple of pairs that they will be wearing for most of the outfits in their closets, they will have to choose pairs that are versatile and at the same time stylish enough not to be considered out of mode. Below are some tips in choosing shoes that look like designer shoes but have no designer prices.

Choose leather

Although buying real leather can be more expensive than buying synthetic leather, the cost will be much cheaper in the long run because leather is more long lasting. You can actually use a pair of leather shoes for a long long time. Just make sure that you store them properly, in areas where it will not be moistened as real leather can become home to molds.

Choose the classic

You don’t have to buy Ferragamo or Jimmy Choo to look good. There are designs that will look just as expensive without being really costly. Because you cannot really buy every design in the store, just choose classic designs that will fit your wardrobe.

Choose the fit

Designer shoes may look designer on the shelves but when you wear them, the shoes are not as great looking anymore. There are pairs like these. This does not mean that the design is not beautiful, the cut and the style just does not fit the structure and form of your feet.

Remember that like body types and face shapes, there are cuts and styles that will fit your feet. Choose the design that does not only look classy but also the one that will make your feet look like a million bucks.

Choose the material

Shoes need not be designer especially when you are going to wear them in rough streets and pavements. Remember that designer shoes may have delicate designs such as glass heels and bead works that may not withstand a walk downtown. When buying shoes, make sure that the material and the kind of design will fit your lifestyle and work.

A woman is not complete without a pair of nylon stockings underneath. This will keep the feet comfortable as well as the legs warm which is the best way to always put the best foot forward.

These are also used for special occasions or when going out to a party if the individual doesn’t want to wear slacks or jeans.

One company that has been in the business of providing nylon stockings is Secrets in Lace. The individual can go to the store or check it out online to see the various selections.

The Full Fashion French Heel is made of 100% nylon. The colors for this are available in beige, copper, gray and pink. There are sizes for those that are small to those who are large so it can fit any woman.

A pair of nylon stockings from Secrets in Lace will cost $32 so those who want to look good with a brand that is of excelling quality should buy one now.

If this is too expensive, the individual can try to get Opaque Thigh High Stockings by Leg Avenue. The price for one is under $5, which is available in black, blue, pink, red and white.

The woman will just match this with the outfit so it will look great when everything has been put on.

But why buy nylon stockings when silk versions are much smoother? This is because nylon is easier to wash and doesn’t run easily compared to silk. The woman can use this for more than a month before having to buy a new one from the store.

Those who are wearing nylon stockings for the first time should get measuring tape to measure the hips in order to get the right size. The sales clerk can also do this for the customer so there won’t be any problems making it easy the next time to just pick the package from the store shelf.

Nylon stockings are intimate accessories. There are other brands in the market aside from the two mentioned which could be cheaper or more expensive which all depends on the taste of the woman.

Ever since Twiggy appeared on the modeling scene in the UK back in the 60's we have had a never-ending line of models who look as though they are in the grip of chronic anorexia. When you watch some of the more ethereal specimens on the catwalks of Paris, you half expect a spontaneous fracture or dislocated pelvis from pressure of strutting - so much bone, so little tissue.

Rake thin models look androgynous, which I suppose is the point. The mystery of sexual ambiguity and all that. Some look like heroin users - others like walking Oxfam ads designed to draw people's attention to the plight of global hunger. It can get tragic too. Models Luisel Ramos and Carolina Reston, both died due to complications arising from lack of nourishment.

You imagine dinner for these women being a cracker with lettuce shreds, followed by a sesame wafer and three sunflower seeds. All that effort to look well ... bony.

It may be a look that translates well into photographs - but being a sort of biological dress rack isn't sexy. Truly sexy women have curves in all the right places. For example internationally renowned belly dancers Sahra Saeeda and Nesrin Topkapi exude female power and beauty in ways that would challenge the Thinistas .

The health issues associated with maintaining a spectral look are potentially hazardous, and there have been moves in Europe to change the perception that thin is chic. In Spain the government and fashion chains have reached an agreement that female store dummies should at the very least be a size 10.

The move is also an attempt to cater to reality. Most women don't look like Gemma Ward, so it seems counter productive to use ultra-skinny models as a retail incentive.

The measures being taken by the Spanish go beyond window displays. Models have actually been banned from working for being too thin. Last year two fashion shows banned models whose body mass index was below 18. In the case of a model who is 1.75 meters (5 ft 7 inches), she has to weigh at least 55 kg.

Corsets are closefitting, body-shaping clothes worn by women to enhance their figures. A corset is laced tightly to the body by means of stays to mould the torso into a desired shape. It reduces the waist and enhances the bust and the hips. Women wear corsets to look slender and highlight the contours of their body.

Corsets are versatile garments and are suitable for a variety of special occasions. It can be worn as bridal wear, eveningwear, club wear and for many other events. They are still in fashion because they make the wearer look chic and extremely feminine. They also provide good support to the back.

There are different styles of corsets available. A steel boned corset is a good investment and can give a shapely and aesthetic figure. Bones, also known as stays, are one of the rigid parts of a corset that forms the frame of the garment. It makes it sturdy and helps to shape the wearer's body. Originally, whalebone was used in corsets because of its flexibility and strength. Because whalebones are expensive, today corsets are designed using plastic or steel boning. Most high quality corsets are used with steel boning.

Steel boned corsets can also be individually handcrafted to suit specific measurements. A well-made steel boned corset is more durable and lasts much longer than a readymade one. Corsets are boned with steel bones that are pre-curved to give the wearer a good fit and figure. Steel boned corsets also help shorten the breaking in time for a corset. When steel stays are given at the back, it renders extra firmness and support. It also promotes proper posture preventing undue stress on the spine.
