			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grunge glam is back and hot on the wish list of fashion forward thinkers this year!</p>
<p>Think statement skull enthused scarves, random length dresses and of course, to finish it all off a distressed leather jacket!</p>
<p>Team with back-combed locks and super high heels, grunge boots or socks and shoes.</p>
<p>Grunge has always been in and is therefore a great trend to invest in!</p>
<p>Make-up should be kept statement but not too girly.  Forget pale pink lips and pastels, lose the tan and work dark smoky eyes.  Cheeks should opt for a deeper blush and this can be blended in well in order to create subtle colour.</p>
<p>Lip shades should be maroon or deep red and those that are feeling daring can go for an even darker shade such as black.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gone are the days when men would wear a suit every day, regardless of whether they were working. Today&#8217;s man likes his casual clothes, but still enjoys looking good. Fortunately, there is a vast selection of great clothes that are casual but not scruffy (unless you want that look) and will keep him looking as well as feeling great.<br />
Men&#8217;s casual clothes can be broken into two categories &#8211; Denim and non-denim. That&#8217;s not to say there isn&#8217;t a lot of choice &#8211; there definitely is! Here are some key pieces to give you an idea what to go for:</p>
<p><strong>Shoes</strong><br />
Carrying over from this summers&#8217; preppy trend, boat shoes are still going strong for winter. Converse all star have the advantage that they go with anything and a pair of sturdy hiking boots are great for when the really cold and frosty weather starts and will ensure there are no nasty accidents.</p>
<p><strong>Jeans</strong><br />
These are a staple of everyone&#8217;s wardrobe and are the most versatile items ever. For days when you have to be a little more clean-cut (or it&#8217;s freezing outside) a pair of blue jeans are perfect. Bootcut or straight leg are the most flattering on men.<br />
<strong><br />
Shirts/ Tees</strong><br />
Depending on personal taste, the casual shirt comes in many forms. Whether it&#8217;s cosy flannel or strokeable cotton, long or short sleeve there will be something that will suit everyone and every occasion. Add a fun touch with superhero or cartoon tees (you know you want to).</p>
<p><strong>Hoodies</strong><br />
These can be used as a combination of sweater and jacket for the milder days or can be worn under a warm winter coat when the temperature really drops. Have a look at <a href="http://www.joebrowns.co.uk/pp+Mens-Hoodies-Sweatshirts+SW-M">Joe Brown hoodies</a> for a masculine style that you will love.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.threadymade.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/menscoat.jpg"><img src="http://www.threadymade.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/menscoat-200x300.jpg" alt="" title="menscoat" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-75" /></a><br />
<strong>Coats</strong><br />
Military style is still going strong this winter and it&#8217;s a very flattering look. It will define those braod shoulder and flat stomach&#8230; or give you a little help in giving the illusion of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fashion is constantly emerging onto the runways and catwalk designers are never short of a few fashion forward thinking designs.</p>
<p>However if we were to buy every creation that we liked the look of, our bank managers would be chasing us out of the malls!</p>
<p>This is why planning and practice come into play!  It is easy to invest in a few expensive pieces and team them with other highstreet looks for an amazing ensemble, and one that looks as if it has stepped out of the pages of Vogue.</p>
<p>A good plan is to splurge on the essentials, things like a great coat and a great pair of boots for example.  Accessorise with less expensive tweaks.</p>
<p>A great coat can make a less expensive outfit feel like a million dollars just as a great pair of shoes can.  Try and make the thing that everyone is drawn to your over the top purchase.</p>
<p>Buy into things you know won&#8217;t go out of style in a second, these things can be used again next season or updated with other accessories.  Accessories such as belts, scarfs and hats are really sensible options as highstreet buys</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new season means a new change, which is exciting but also a great deal of stress as buying the must-have on-trend attire can be a make or break situation, especially when you have a budget to stick to!</p>
<p>This is why investing a few must-have essentials is key, think of pieces that are versatile and that can be worn with both trousers and skirts.  This could be a crisp white shirt, a key piece for an office wardrobe that can be worn both on duty with smarts or off duty with a pair of denim skinnies.</p>
<p>Another must have essential is a pair of statement shoes!  Kitten heels are in fact in this season and this is great news for those that often have to rush from the office to drinks with friends or a dining date!</p>
<p>High stilettos will not only make you feel uncomfortable after a day walking around the office, they will also make you feel like heading straight home to kick them off rather than out on the tiles!</p>
<p>This is why kitten heels are a must, they are smart enough to be worn to the office yet still dressy enough to wear out to cocktails.  They also won&#8217;t be as damaging on your feet, in fact kitten heels are proven to improve the way we stand!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unique impressions is a new company on the cards that has introduced  an innovation in jewellery design.  The designers at the jewellery brand  make each piece of jewellery incredibly unique to its owner.  They do  this by putting the owner&#8217;s signature stamp on the piece they have  selected!</p>
<p>Children&#8217;s doodles can also be printed onto the metal  and anyone of the pieces can be viewed online as well as markets or  jewellery parties and baby boutiques.  These little gems are certainly  lasting memories that jewellery fans will love to share!</p>
<p>This  is a great idea for a gift for a loved one as they are able to really  make that piece solely unique to that individual.  It could be a memory  shared together or even an actual fingerprint.</p>
<p>Fingerprints,  handprints and footprints from babies are small enough to be placed on  the silver.  This is a great idea for a baby shower gift and come in the  shape of a dog tag-esq necklace.</p>
<p>Other things that can be printed on the jewellery include the likes of paw prints,  &amp; adults fingerprints.  Both of these can be printed onto the the likes of cuffs, key rings, necklaces and any other piece of silver desired!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few must-have investments for the new season come in the shape of cords, pleats and bright knits and all are guaranteed to add an instant hit of colour to any wardrobe!</p>
<p>Despite it still being summer, many fashionistas are now turning to the autumn and winter 2011 trends.  This is certainly one way to get ahead in the fashion stakes and allows you to mix and match with a few in season styles.</p>
<p>Bright knits are a great investment if you wish to make an outfit pop!  They really work the colour blocking trend but in an 80&#8242;s style and offer scandi cool jumpers in autumnal brights and hot hues.</p>
<p>Team oranges, greens and mustards with uber bright skinny jeans and chunky style boots for a super retro style.  Otherwise tuck your cable knit jumpers into high waisted work trousers and finish with statement lace-up wedges.</p>
<p>The knit wear doesn&#8217;t just stop at jumpers and can be worked into your wardrobe in other ways to.  Think bags, hats and gloves.</p>
<p>Cords are so seventies, which makes them right on trend for now!  The cord craze doesn&#8217;t stop there however and can be worked into items such as pleated skirts, dungarees and cutesy styled shorts.  All are a must-have for the winter season and come in an array of really warm colours.  Each piece is guaranteed to give your outfit a hit of colour!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are one of the lucky ones to have a holiday on the cards this year then you will be more than likely searching for that perfect swimsuit!  There are so many to choose from when it comes to both bikinis and swimming costumes for 2011, including halter neck, strapless, brassiere style, push-up and cross over making it better than ever to <a href="http://www.Very.co.uk/women/swimwear/e/b/1757.end">mix and match women&#8217;s simwear</a>.  Everyone has there own preference when it comes to swimwear and this is often due to everyone possessing a different shape and size.  </p>
<p>Sometimes you may see a swim set that you absolutely love however the bikini bottoms may not be quite right or the straps on the top may be not quite what you were wanting, despite the colour being absolutely fab!  This is where the mix and match idea comes to play as this idea allows you to practically tailor the swimwear to your body shape, style and taste.</p>
<p>When it comes to purchasing swimwear, you will also often to want to purchase several matching pieces to go with that new purchase, this could include sandals, a skirt or beach wrap, a throw, a beach bag and of course a super stylish sun hat.  All of these extra expenses often mean you have to limit yourself to only one or two new bikinis.  However there is an alternative, mix and matching those two new sets in turn means you can create four different looks.  Just keep in mind similar styles and colours will work better when alternating tops and bottoms.</p>
<p>Alternatively you may decide to purchase a fashion designer swimsuit. Instead of splurging on another piece you can always mix and match the swimwear surrounding the swimsuit as the swim suit itself will always remain the centre of attention. </p>
<p>When purchasing swimwear you will often find better deals online as well as more choice and a wide range of sizes.  If you have a budget to stick to then make sure you take advantage of any deals or discounted pieces available.</p>
