Have you spent a day outside your home, without hearing the word fashion? I doubt it. Fashion is a word that we use everyday and something we deal with everyday of our life. You may say that you have nothing to do fashion, may not even care about fashion and don't dress to make a statement, but in fact you are making a statement about fashion. In our modern way of living, people wake up and wondering what they are going to wear for that day. Fashion may be considered to be an accepted day-to-day way of dressing at a given time. Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most style conscious people of a country. Even if you don't care about fashions in your personal life, or do not care a lot about what you wear day-to-day you come across fashion every day. It's a fact that most people pay attention to fashion in small ways, which probably is the best way to approach it. Fashion is ever changing; it is the total outlook of an individual of today and only for today and it may be something else tomorrow. Generally a fashion usually remains popular for about 1-2 years and in time will be replaced by yet another fashion.
Fashion goes through continuous changes. Change is the most important characteristic of the fashion world. Though fashion may evolve and some styles come back, it only applies for the time being. Not everyone is quick to embrace the change in fashions. As the fashion changes many do not easily except the changes and stick to the old habits and trends. The media around us have great influence on fashion. Everyday we are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. Fashion may have nothing to do with good taste and is beyond such practical considerations. With passage of time a fashion may change to custom. For example a clothing style may be introduced as a fashion, but overtime its use becomes a custom after being handed down from generation to generation. Movies have a great impact on what people wear and how people act. What we wear is an imaginary representation of what we want the world to see. Fashion exists to provide information about ourselves, who we think we are and who we aspire to be.

Japanese Cosmetics Focus: Ettusais
(image from www.ettusais.co.jp)It has been a while since I last added an article to the "Japanese Brand Profile" series, and today I am going to talk about Ettusais.Ettusais was launched in 1991 and I believe it is still owned by Shiseido. The name of the brand comes from "Et tu sais?" ("And you know?") in French. The brand includes skincare, bodycare, base makeup, and point makeup products.

Alexander Wang Diego Suede Studded BucketI felt this bag was appropriate for the week since it appears Alexander Wang was inspired by Native American suede pouches when he designed the Diego bucket bag. Granted, there are a few more studs than the Natives preferred but can"t you just picture Chief Powhatan with this? It"s not entirely tragic, just a bit boring from what I"d come to expect from the bad boy designer.

Too Faced Lashlight MascaraI admit that it was the lights that got me.I"ve never tried a Too Faced mascara before, but it seemed like this new tech/beauty hybrid was a great product to start with. The mascara cap includes two small but bright "spotlights" which autmatically turn on which you twist open the top. They allow you to apply the mascara in any location - even the dark, and still be able to see each and every lash.It"s true this a great technology/beauty........Go to the Fashion-blog (Added on 11/11/2009 12:34:26 AM)

Sheer Stella 2009 from Stella McCartney
Last week, I came across Sheer Stella 2009, and, as a collector, I had to get it.This year, the shade of the bottle is peachy-pink, with the rose motif in a frosted texture.

More Miu Miu! The Studded ToteI know I know, enough of the studs but this is different from the other stud bags we"re coveting of late. This is round button-like studs, so you see-- different! Plus it"s only $1,295, almost half the cost of other studded bags right now. It"s a gigantic thing at 16"x11" but the exaggerated studs are so huge it"d look bizarre on a little bag.

Indo Russian jewelryI have been collecting jewelry from India for almost 7 years now, way before the style became popular with the mainstream.
