Vogue- Wings Of Desire 2013-2014

Feathers hit the catwalk big in 2012 and are still bang on trend this season. You may have noticed celebrities and fashion icons rocking the feather earrings and prints. It’s obvious that that feathers are still on the rise even now.

But I got to be honest the whole feather effect don’t get me wrong as Vogue say the “Feathers offer a feminine, flighty approach to embellishment,” and gives you that romantic dreamy style to the whole style. But it just isn’t my style. It’s just my opinion!

However if you do like the style, feathers can be fun and can make your look bright and fun.

Does Packages influence your beauty purchases?

 

I think so I mean after all first impressions are everything, which I think is important to get the customers in your store. An initial appearance, whether that of a person, place or thing, determines how others perceive someone or something – orderly, messy, cheap, expensive, and so on.

Women have strong ideas about what they want in packaging today.  Women like myself know exactly what appeals to them. If packaging does not meet their requirements, their buying decision is clearly influenced.

Packaging design for women goes far beyond simply making your product a shade of pink. To me the package has to be Elegant not messy. I also think Text is important as well when capturing the eye of a woman again for me it has to be elegant.

However looks can be deceiving, if your going to order online do your research about the product your buying.

My Favourite Fashion Historical Figure

For those who know me, know that I love Egypt and everything that it represents. So if you were going you were going to ask me who my  Favourite Fashion Historical Figure it would be Cleopatra.

Fashion is all about drama and Cleopatra’s life was full of it, from her legendary affairs with some of the most powerful men of their time to her struggles to maintain influence as ruler of Egypt. Even Thousands of years after her death she still influence the modem world for women.

Despite a negative history of Cleopatra, her legacy still live on that has been the trend of most women in the world today, most important being the world of fashion. It was said that in her time she combined both Egyptian and Greek elements in a skill-fully manner creating seductive Egyptian fashions.  She has remained a substantial influence in the women style today.

Many years after Cleopatra, women are still using Cleopatra fashion that includes the popular smoky and heavily lined eye. Surprisingly, almost every modern woman won’t leave the house without make-up me being one of them.
