Girls absolutely love fashion and dressing themselves up. This is one of their favorite activities and they will spend hours out shopping in the hope of finding that perfect outfit to wear to some big event coming up in their lives.
Whilst men will be out competing over sports and drinking in the pub, women will love to head out to the mall and spend the day shopping to their hearts content. Shopping for girls clothing is without a doubt something that is right at the top of the tree when you consider what girls’ favorite past times are.
Well, the most obvious reason to consider is because they just love to look great. Girls will happily spend half of their time and money heading to the shops to get make up, jewellery, and clothing so they can dress up and look great at the next social occasion.
They love to keep up with fashion and maintain their style with all of the newest trends. Whenever they see their celebrity heroes wearing some new style of clothing in one of their magazines they will immediately want to go out and emulate their look. Keeping up with the different fashions help them to stay fresh with what they are wearing and is important in maintaining their confidence and self esteem.
Girls are also surprisingly competitive when it comes to clothing and will always want to outdo their friends with the best style and the most beautiful dresses. Men might enjoy competing on the sports fields, but the female battleground is most definitely the mall!
The whole experience for girls is all about having a great day out. They can relax and spend time browsing through all of their favorite stores and finding little local boutique outlets in order to find a more unique bargain. Its the entire package of shopping, having a chat, and chilling out over a cup of coffee that makes the whole experience so enjoyable and appealing.

There are many trends that will unite and create a special cocktail of motifs and ideas in autumn 2009 and in 2010.
Graffiti will hit the market with an explosion of colors and art, like in the 80s, when they’ve been an important trend for jeans and t-shirts. Probably this time the importance will be even more, involving more products, like shoes, as example.
80s will be back, suggesting old ideas and mixing them with modern feelings. I’m talking about the economic crisis, that will end soon, opening the way for new trends: strong shoulders, thigh high boots, lace, cloaks.
Classic, old and new ideas all together to express the desire of a new year free of the economic problems: new designs and new colors. But we’ll find also a special care for tones of gray and fabrics like velvet.
As conclusion, we can say that this year will be a very special year for fashion, and anyone will be able to find a personal look very easily. Let’s go shopping!

Karmaloop and Urban Culture
When I speak about Urban Culture, I mean baggy shirts, baggy jeans, sneakers, hip hop and urban neighborhoods… and also jewelry, earrings, long chains.
Urban Wear has evolved over the years. You can find more aggressive styles lately along with very elegant and fashionable designs. Evolving is a good thing, nobody wants to always wear the same things for years, but of course if you follow the trends very closely, you’ll have to spend a lot to keep yourself up to date.
Nice thing about Urban Wear is that it has been influenced also by Japanese streetwear culture, and the ever evolving indie music scene. This brings to new trends and new ideas… and of course new ways to spend your money!
At Karmaloop you can find practically every kind of Urban Wear, every trend and every flavor. What matters is that all the clothing represents the city and is not mass produced. You’ll feel really cool with their apparel.
Prices are very good and you can create your own style easily with just few dollars. We can say that Karmaloop is at the cutting edge of the urban fashion market and sells everywhere in the world.
Baggy, brightly colored urban clothes are not only the culture of cities in United States. This style is going to be international and more and more customers from other parts of the world are being attracted by this fashion appeal.

Today we interview Justin Hoehn. Justin manages LEADapparel.com, providing a broad range of apparel brands at the lowest prices possible. With 27 warehouses covering all regions of the U.S. LEADapparel.com has the ability to ship customer orders quickly to anywhere in the country and worldwide.
Fashion, internet and our society
Manuel Marino: The styles you present are sporty but also with an elegance touch, we can say unique looks, right?
Justin Hoehn: Absolutely. We try to give our customers diversity. We believe that the stylish consumer has different needs for different occasions. You might want to dress in an urban influenced t-shirt when bumming around town but tomorrow, you might have a tee time & need a nike dri-fit polo.
What can you tell me about your latest alternative apparel line?
We recently added alternative apparel to our product line and are extremely excited about the response we’ve had from our customers. Alternative apparel is in the same mold as american apparel. The line is made from high quality fabrics, fitted and fashion driven. They focus on core prodcuts and do a wonderful job at expanding on colors and certain fits. You’ll see awide range of celebrities sporting the line (Pitt, Timberlake, Leonardo, Clooney, Fergie, Walberg, John Mayer, Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria) this is just to name a few.
What do you think about fashion in 2008?
Fashion is always changing, sometimes for the better / sometimes for the worse but at the end of the day, we like the classic / minimal look to pass the test of time. Although everyone appreciates a saville row tailored suit, the reality is you have more people working from home or in a casual office enviroment. They’re more comfortable in a tee & jeans, tee and designer sweats or some sort of combination. It’s no longer a sloppy look since designers have tightend up the fit & color options and it’s become more acceptable in the office, especially at younger companies.
What about fashion and internet, is it a good alliance?
The web has obviously been a wonderful alliance for all business. The consumer has more choices in a matter of minutes than they would in an entire day of shopping at the malls and you don’t have to pay for gasoline. The knock has always been that you need to try on / see in person what your going to buy. At leadapparel.com, we have made it a priority to make this a seamless process. The addition of images for each color and sizing charts for most products elminates the risk of ordering something that doesn’t fit or not the exact look the customer was expecting.
It’s only going to grow into a more sophisticated shopping experience. We’re looking into video displays for certain products and I’m sure by this time next year there will be a must have for online stores such as ours.
Is it really so important appearance in our society? is it really a good thing?
Appearance and style has always been important and always will. Call it vanity, expression or necessity, we all have style, whether it’s bad or not is up for debate. But there is no doubt in my mind that style is an important aspect in for living a more exciting and interesting life. People with a great personality seem to give off more style even if they are wearing the same get up as the next guy with a bad attitude who thinks style will carry him alone. If you are constantly following the crowd, it can become mondane but if you are diverse and comfortable with your style, it’s a major plus on how it comes off to others.
I think it’s only smart to keep your appearance looking good. Sure, there might be too much focus on “appearance” in some circles but I think there’s no doubt that someone’s overall appearance is a direct reflection of a person’s vibe and personality.

This is a very nice story from JewelryDays.com Blog. Thanks to Sheila Garcia for this!
MADISON, Wis. – A garbage truck operator is being hailed as a hero for finding $10,000 worth of diamonds that had accidentally been thrown away.
“We got a call from a customer that had some earrings in the garbage,” said front-load truck operator Ron Lund.
At Pellitteri Waste, where Mr. Lund works, those types of calls come in about once a month so he really wasn’t surprised, though these were no average earrings. They were $10,000 diamond earrings from a local jewelry store, WISC-TV reported.
What surprised him is he actually found them! “I’m thinking, ‘No way, I’ll never find them,’” said Lund. “I told them, ‘Good Luck,’” he laughed. On his route, Lund picks up garbage from more than 130 businesses, including the jeweler. “I was thinking, ‘Little diamonds versus 30,000 pounds of garbage,’” said Lund. “No way.”
But, those little diamonds got him looking.
“I kind of knew where the store was on the load,” said Lund. “So I drove forward to lay it out.” And the digging began. “I grabbed a bag and started looking in there and that’s where I found them,” said Lund. “I found one first then I thought the other’s got to be in the bag, and I found the other one.” It took him a total of eight minutes. “I was just surprised I found them,” said Lund. “I’m surprised anybody would find them.”
The business owner gave him an $80 reward.
Lund said that he decided to try his luck again. “I already spent it,” he said. “I went and bought Powerball tickets. I figure I found the earrings, I’ll buy the tickets and maybe I’ll get lucky.” Lund also admitted he once dumped all his keys into the garbage, and was lucky enough to find them, too.
What a very remarkable deed (..and luck!) done by Ron Lund! Who would have thought you could find something tiny and valuable in heaps of trash. What I did not like about the incident though, was that the company only gave kind, hardworking, and honest Mr. Lund only 80 bucks. I mean, for something worth $10,000? They could have at least given him a thousand, 500, or even just make it a hundred. I just think he deserves more than 80. Surprisingly, amidst all the surprises, Mr. Lund was happy about it and bought himself Powerball tickets. I commend Mr. Ron Lund for a job well done, not only being honest, but someone who does good without asking for anything in a return. Ron Lund, you are a true hero and a fine example for us all!

This is a nice personal story written by Elizabeth Burn, a kind entrepreneur in the vintage clothing industry.
Love for Vintage
My love for vintage began when I was a poor college student in NYC, basically out of necessity, it evolved from a hobby and passion into a business. At first my family was a little annoyed at the ‘clutter’ but after some years and much patience they are coming around, beginning to appreciate the history of a garment that has been around for many decades sometimes centuries. How important it is to care for, restore them, the quality of garments from the past and how we are keeping them from the landfills or from being exported to other countries.
When I travel I am always hunting for great finds, a vacation is never complete or satisfying unless I am rummaging through vintage & antique stores. One of my latest finds was a Victorian top, to be the proud owner of such workmanship… to be able to hold in my hands something a young woman wore in the 1800s is very exciting to me.
I have an amazing lace dress from the 30s that has to be one of the most beautiful and delicate things I have ever seen from that era. I could go on and on…
At the moment I am in the process of relocating, my store is down to the bare minimum as I’ve had not one moment’s chance to play with my dolls (mannequins) the past few weeks.
Once the dust settles next month I plan to add many wonderful things. I am really looking forward to finally featuring a fun 60’s psychedelic collection I have been hoarding for years and years, it will include a few great designers of the era. As a matter of fact, the house I am buying is a restored 60s house.
I served on the board of directors of the Vintage Fashion Guild. I am a member of several vintage organizations including the http://evintagesociety.com we strive to sell only quality vintage and provide excellent customer service.

This is a short but very interesting interview to Derek Sivers, CDBaby.com president. CD Baby is a little online record store that sells albums by independent musicians. They only sell music that comes directly from the musicians. No distributors. Musicians send them their music. They digitize and warehouse, sell them to the customers, and pay the musicians directly.
Derek, considering your big expertise with Cdbaby.com, what do you think about online shopping? Pros and Cons?
Selection is the best. You know “it” (the web) has everything, and at the best price.
Only downside : can’t flirt with the cute employees.
10 years of online shopping, people say there have been diminishing margins and returns due to growing competition, and more investment in marketing than ever (Adwords, PriceGrabber), what do you think about this?
If you’re just trying to sell something that everyone else is selling, then of course customers will just look for the best price.
At CD Baby, we generally sell music you’re not going to find anywhere else. So nobody seems to care about the price much. The artist sets the price, anyway. It’s their creative choice, not ours.
What about fraud?, there has been growing credit card & shipping re-direction fraud, harder to fight back.
It’s no problem. We look at every order before shipping it, and if it looks too suspicious, we cancel it. Been doing it the same way since 1998 and it’s never been a problem.
Thank you for your answers. Now, about you, what are your projects for the future?
Just trying to make cdbaby.com a fun place to find new music. We’re open to any suggestions from music fans.

Every year consumer online shopping and spending increases. The average online purchase is now approaching $250 with consumers becoming more confident in buying higher ticket items such as electronics to cars, even homes. Online shopping has no closing time, it’s open 24/7 and retailers have significantly reduced shipping times. Loyalty programs that promote retailers offer incentives for shopping online, such as cashback, gift certificates and point redemption for merchandise.
The vintage clothing sector has benefited from this increased activity as well. Several retailers have simply closed their physical brick & mortar establishments to setup online. A worldwide customer base and less overhead expenses are a significant attraction to running an online website. With the current fashion trend of vintage clothing and vintage inspired clothing being seen on major catwalks, as well as the important efforts for saving the environment, the future for vintage websites is a healthy one!
SomeLikeItVintage.com has been selling vintage clothing & housewares online since 2005, first starting on ebay. In 2006, we re-launched with a brand new website. Establishing consumer confidence and trust is what we have successfully achieved by offering exceptional customer service.
With an online store, customer service must be assured as there is no face to face contact between consumer and retailer. Even a large, well known retailer with an encrypted, secure website needs to be re-assuring their customers. It can still be nerve wracking to make a purchase online. Not being able to actually try clothing on before a purchase is a shift in consumer behaviour and they must be able to trust the online retailer. By taking detailed photographs and listing detailed descriptions of our items, SomeLikeItVintage.com puts a consumer’s mind at ease when making an online purchase. The more information they have, the more comfortable they become while online shopping. A full refund policy also makes shopping risk free. That dress may look great in the photos but not on you! Send it back and receive a full refund, no hassles. Most, if not all shopping websites have customer service phone numbers to call if you just don’t want to key in your credit card information over the internet, but still wish to make that purchase.
During the design phase of our website, we looked at hundreds of other shopping websites. Many websites are simply not easy to navigate with too much information hitting the consumer right away. We wanted to eliminate the rush of information overload and allow our customers to get to what they wanted to see, as quickly as possible. Our filtering system allows customers to choose how they wish to browse: by price, by size, by style of garment, or simply type in a word in the search box. If a store in a shopping mall just threw all their clothes onto the racks without sorting, customers would quickly become discouraged and leave. We found many vintage sites lumping all their clothes into era-specific categories, and while this is helpful, one must sort through all the dresses to find one that would even be close in size. It simply takes too long. Our website was designed to be user friendly, efficient, safe and quick to navigate.
The owner of SomeLikeItVintage.com is a woman who has had over 20 years experience in customer servicee. No request is too small or too big to accomodate and everything possible will be done to fulfill it. She has also decided to donate 10% of all her sales to local women’s shelters in Toronto, Canada. Having been a victim of severe domestic abuse, she survived being held hostage by her fiancé for 18 months whereby he physically and mentally tortured her, trying to kill her dozens of times. He is currently serving a 15 year sentence in a Canadian prison.
As well as monetary donations, Ms. Cizmar volunteers her time at a local women’s shelter, inspiring other women and their children to be courageous and strong in the face of domestic violence. Working toward her black belt in Wado Ryu karate also keeps this busy lady physically and mentally strong!
Vintage clothing has been a longtime passion for Ms Cizmar, as well as the idea of reducing waste. Born to parents who lived through the depression, re-using, reducing and recyling was simply a way of life. Ms. Cizmar currently expands on this philosophy not just by finding fabulous vintage items to re-love, but re-creating stunning garments from vintage clothing. This private label, “Creative Vintage” gives another life to an otherwise unwearable garment. Less landfill, less waste, no emissions. Simple.
SomeLikeItVintage.com ships worldwide, and has several promotions throughout the year. Contests, free shipping days, bargain bin deals and a wonderful, large selection of vintage and retro items.
