Mix and Match Tips
Have you encountered being told that your top dosnt match with your pants? Or that your clothes don't fit well with your skin tone?
Here are some tips on how to mix and match colors in clothing fashion:
COOL AND WARM COLORS.
The use of cool and warm colors in your clothing fashion is a way of emphasizing your skin tone that can add glow to your physical beauty. Cool colors are soothing in nature that gives an impression of calm while warm colors are vivid in nature that is bold and energetic. Based on color wheel, from red clockwise to green are warm colors and that includes violet and blue. The rest of the colors from the wheel like yellow-green, yellow and orange are the cool colors. To determine on what category you belong, use the gold and silver colors as your basis. If your skin looks good with gold, then you are well affiliated with cool colors and if it matches with silver, then warm colors are best for you.
MONOCHROMATIC COMBINATION.
Using single color of different hues or shades as your fashion color mix is termed as monochromatic style. This kind of color matching emphasizes simplicity for it is more subtle and peaceful due to its lack of color contrast. Mostly, it is combined with accessories like pins, scarf and choker for added design.
COMPLEMENTARY COLORS MATCHING.
In the color wheel, complementary colors are those that are opposite each other like red and green, yellow and violet, orange and blue, etc. These color combination contrast, enhance and intensify each other. It is advisable to be used by those with light skin complexion and should be used with caution because its tone and hue can be eye catching that too much
usage can be an eyesore. If this will be used for your clothing, use neutral color like white and black for your bag, shoes and hat.
ANALOGOUS COLORS.
If you want to have that certain kind of fashion look that showcases harmony, analogous colors are best fitted for you. For these are the colors that are neighbors on the color wheel that blend well together like purple and blue or yellow, gold and orange. They are less vivid, bright and saturated and can be best worn both during daytime and nighttime
TRIAD COLOR MATCHING.
Three colors that are found 120 degrees separated on the color wheel are what we call triadic colors. They are considered high-energy colors like primary (red, blue and yellow) and secondary (purple, orange and green). This kind of color combination is best suited for casual and sporty attire that is associated to some activities that requires energy and lively mood. But because these are high-intense color, it is advisable to tint or use different shade for one or two colors to avoid color vibration. Examples of these are the combination of bright red, pastel blue and baby yellow or purple, light orange and apple green.
NEUTRAL COLORS.
Brown, gray, black and white are the neutral or safe colors that can be matched with any color or multiple colors. These colors usually spell simplicity and blankness giving more emphasis to the other color.

PVC and bondage
Sigh. Neither worked in the 1980s and they still don’t work now, (well thats what i think) but, alas, fashion is cyclical. Some times I feel you just have to hunker down and ignore fashion trends, opting for style instead.
PVC should stay in the dominatrix’s lair, never to resurface in fashion again. On the runway, yes. On the street, no. You’ll sweat, you’ll stick. It won’t be pretty. If you must, go to fetish shops or Gareth Pugh for PVC and on the High StreetHit Camden Market or any charity shop for 1980s castaways.
But then who am I to comment?
The line between the office shoe and the fetish heel has become increasingly blurred; while the popularity of the ubiquitous Herve Leger bandage dress has simultaneously become widespread, meaning the super-short and super-tight is more commonplace than ever. The taboo, in many ways, is not so taboo anymore. Fashion has pushed the envelope and perusing the Spring/Summer 2009 runways, it's not hard to spot the bondage and fetish inspirations behind many of the clothes; making this yet another of 2009's fashion trends.
So even though I think it wrong below is a some one better way to wear it

Paper bag Anyone?
Paperbag Waistlines at Issac Mizrahi, Zac Posen, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.Style tip? Spring 2009 is characterized by selective volume - on slouchy pants, poufy sleeves, and and bubble shaped skirts. The paperbag waistline is a fresh take on selective volume - plus the naturally high waistline can visually elongate the leg and make you look taller (or allow you to wear cropped pants).
What do you think? Would you wear pants with a paperbag waistline? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Zip it!!!
I'm definately into zips at the moment, especially chunky exposed ones. They're popping up on blogs and catwalks all over the place at the moment and I'm hoping a fair few will make their way into my wardrobe :)
