What is fashionable these days? Taking everything into consideration, the outward and inward body plus, the cleanliness of the body, fashion is a personal decision. Sure, one can get help from many different sources, but one must make the choice on how they apply the fashion to themselves so that one can be her own person. Women’s fashion is something that is growing every day. Fashion is so many things, no one person could define.

Fashion is the way one dresses. It could be feminine, sporty, masculine, or anything else. It is the way one chooses to style their hair. Short, long, straight, curly, or any color you want. Fashion is the way one applies make up. One can choose to have heavy makeup, light make up, costume make up, or no makeup at all. Fashion is the way one acts. A woman with integrity, who knows how to stand up for herself; a woman who is polite, but firm; a woman who knows how to lead and to follow; and, a woman who knows the right people to associate with.

Fashion is an everyday woman as well as the celebrity or model. Fashion is the way one takes care of them such as a woman who knows how to be naturally beautiful by following basic hygiene rules like taking showers, brushing teeth, and just keeping healthy. Fashion is how you portray yourself to others. Most of all, fashion is a personal choice, not dictated by others, but, by what makes you happy. Never compromise yourself for something the fashion media says is a must have. Never starve yourself for what fashion says is beautiful.

Never become so ugly on the inside you have to hide it with clothes.

What is fashion? Fashion is every woman who puts on clothes. It is every personal decision that makes you who you are. One might even say that fashion helps us show others who we are. Fashion is good and bad. It helps us to be unique and beautiful in our own way, but it also shows us that we are not as thin or wealthy as others. Take fashion with a grain of sand, because it changes every day. Watch it, learn from it, even live it at times, but do not let it take control of you. Women must control fashion and the way it affects their opinions, for that , in itself, is women’s fashion.

Many of us feel as though we are in touch with current fashion trends, but are we really? It’s often the people who feel as though they are fashionable that one day look around and find that they don’t know anything about current fashion trends. No one wants to be this person, but it seems as though the most well intentioned people end up going all wrong where fashion is concerned.

Staying in Touch with the Fashion Industry

Fashion trends are always changing. You cannot blink or you may miss something big in the fashion world. Of course, we all have our own personal tastes, so you should keep this in mind, but regardless of what your tastes are you can always be in fashion. A great way to make sure that you know what the hot new trends are is to simply take notice of the people around you. When you go to the grocery store or the mall, look at what other people are wearing. You can ramp things up or tone them down as you find appropriate for your lifestyle or your age, but if you simply look around you’ll get a lot of indirect fashion advice.

Just making a concerted effort to window shop will help keep you abreast of what is new in the fashion world. When you walk down the mall look at the windows and take note of the fashions. Not all of them will appeal to you, in fact not all of them may be right for your body type, but at least you will have an idea of what is going on. Knowing what is going on in the fashion world is important because it can help you keep your wardrobe current so you always look your best.

Another option when you want to know what is hot in fashion is to read magazines. There are a lot of magazines that are dedicated to fashion. Even magazines such as Glamour, Cosmopolitan, can offer you some great fashion advice. Not only will you see what people are wearing, you may find advice on how you can wear the latest trends so it is always as flattering as possible.

Are you really a fashion buff? If so, you should try to attend as many fashion shows as possible. When you attend fashion shows you often get a look at what will be hot the next season. This will give you a leg up on everyone else so you always have the most current look possible, and isn’t that what fashion is all about?

There are many people giving advice on how to buy shoes based on color and style but there are other considerations that must be given thought as well.

One fact that is well known by podiatrists, but not as much with the general population is that most people have feet of different sizes. In some individuals it may be that the foot is wider and in some it may be longer. Due to this physiological aspect of your feet, you should definitely put the shoes on both feet and walk around in them.

Don’t just buy a pair of shoes because they are in vogue. A shoe that looks good on a model you see on TV may not work for your foot. Take in to consideration what you are going to be using the shoes for; if you are going to be standing in them you will want comfort above all. If you are only going to wear them out to dinner you may be able to stand a little discomfort.

Another thing to consider is quality. In most cases it is far better to invest the money in a better pair of shoes that will last a long time and keep looking good than to buy cheap shoes that only last a few months. This is particularly true of your basic everyday work shoes and shoes you may purchase for exercise.

Remember, you are the one that has to wear the shoes. It doesn’t matter how good they look if you can’t walk in them or they cause undue discomfort on your feet. Shoes that do not fit properly or put unnatural stress on the bones of your feet can cause irreversible damage.

Take your time and look at what is available to you and make your decisions based on all the factors we discussed here and you will be happy with your purchase.

High heels can be a love or hate topic for many women. While some can’t live without them, others shy away from them. If you are avoiding high heel footwear, the only option doesn’t necessarily have to be to love them or leave them.

High heels have a special way to make a woman look sexy and chic, and can even inspire confidence! And odds are you will find yourself eventually in a situation where you just can’t keep away from them. So if fear is keeping you away from high heels here are a few tips on how to get you started:

- Start with lower heels and work your way up! As you progress in heel height, you will begin to gain confidence and feel more comfortable. This is the best way to get started since you won’t feel as much of a difference between heels as if you had jumped from no heel into higher heeled shoes right away.

- When you finally try out a really high heel shoe get the feeling of just standing in them first. Look yourself in the mirror, check your posture and make corrections as necessary then try a few first steps. Its like learning to walk all over again! Walking in high heels is, after all, a whole different walking experience.

- Keep your legs straight and try to keep them close together when you walk. At first high heels don’t feel natural so you will tend to keep your legs a little bent. Try to keep them straight.

- Practice at home, walk around the house while you are doing your everyday things ( Your partner will probably like this). This will give you practical experience while relieving any social pressure of looking awkward while you get used to them. Start wearing them for a short period of time and then gradually build up to longer periods of time. This will help your feet get used to the shape of high heel shoes.

As you gain experience you will start to feel more natural and more comfortable wearing high heel shoes. Practice is the keyword here, soon you will feel fully confident in your heels and you will be ready to show off at that party or just at work.  High Heels will make you look fabulous at  any occasion.

In the 21st Century fandom exists in all shapes and sizes. There are groups devoted to everything, from Ford Mondeos to Poodles to music released only on unplayable formats. Indeed, the fandom of shoes is nothing new. Admissions of Shoeaholism have become as everyday as Carrie Bradshaw’s indecisiveness but in recent months a number of news stories have brought to my attention the notion that there may well be many specific different types of Shoeaholic.

The first type of shoeaholic to acknowledge is the classic ‘hoarder’. I would suppose that ‘hoarders’ make up the majority of shoeaholics and beside owning hundreds of shoes, they are also known to have an extensive, dare I say, encyclopaedic amount of knowledge when it comes to footwear. They are also known to have a physical bodily reaction when certain names are mentioned. For example, mutter Louboutin or Balenciaga in the presence of a ‘hoarder’ and they are likely to slump to the floor only to be revived by a splash of cold water to the ankles.

The second type of Shoeaholic could well be regarded as the next step up from the typical ‘hoarder’. Whereas a ‘hoarder’ may work in the fashion sector, own and collect many shoes – they probably act like you or me. However, the so-called ‘shoe extremist’ will take the right to wear a specific type of shoe to court if they need to. In Essex this month, a woman (owner of 200 shoes) who was injured after slipping over at an airport decided to sue for damages because she could not wear her heels after the fall. She won.

The final type came to light via a slightly different news story, and this group seem a little more illusive than the others. The ‘Celebri-feet-fan’, instead of directly following the styles and changes as dictated by the fashion industry, will follow the shoe choices of someone in the public eye…and not necessarily someone famous for their style sense. The most recent celebrity supposedly at the heart of starting a shoe following is none other than Sarah Palin. The Mail reports that her red Naughty Monkey heels have been flying off shelves since she has been on her campaign trail. In some places sales have risen by 50 per cent.

Granted, the tags I may have given each Shoeaholic may be a little literal, and a privileged few may fit into all three, but at least from now on if I meet anyone who claims that ‘I just love shoes’, it may be a little easier to discern just how obsessed they are – and if they are as fanatical as I am.

The average person could walk over a staggering 100,000 miles in their lifetime, meaning they will take over 200 million steps; which is the equivalent to walking around the world four times! Therefore emphasising the sheer importance of looking after ones feet, and no more so than in the shoes we choose to wear. Unfortunately, shoes aren’t invincible and will need replacing every so often; so follow this guide to ensure long-lasting comfort in your shoes and more importantly, healthy feet.

-Sports shoes – these types of shoes are frequently debated about as to how often they should be replaced. Evidently, for many avid runners, the shoes play a crucial role in both their performance and their physical health. Running shoes provide much needed support to the joints of the feet, knees and hips, offering shock absorption to keep these joints healthy. Therefore, keen joggers who are jogging nearly everyday should be looking to replace their running shoes from every 3 to 6 months. Equally, if you start to notice a lack of support or bounce from your running shoes it is probably time to start looking for another pair.

-Work shoes – probably one of the most worn pair of shoes in both men’s footwear and women’s footwear collections! Therefore, you should be looking to replace these once they start to lose their shine or start looking a bit scuffed. This is generally the key in smart dress shoes too.

-Slippers – this type of footwear is probably the least replaced, as we all get attached to a certain pair of slippers. However, once your slippers start to loose their grip you should look into replacing them to avoid slipping on wooden/shiny surfaces.

For great value shoes why not take a look at Mrs Harpers Boutique’s fantastic selection on their website It is important that you buy your shoes from a professional high street store like The Glass Slipper to ensure a high quality in your shoes as your feet are irreplaceable.
