Sometimes, the little things count. A handbag, after all, is a utilitarian creation made beautiful because of its utter necessity - a bag that was difficult to carry would be useless to most women. As such, there are only so many design alteration that you can make to a bag, and I often […]

N.Y.C. Public Relations is under new direction. Originally, the company was titled “SouthPawsPR” and was formed with the help of Peter Arnold, former President of CFDA. After much success, the company transformed into the better known N.Y.C. Public Relations.
Amongst the many changes that have been made are, of course, the company logo, website, and press kit. In addition, the company has increased its range of services to include not only runway productions and events, but brand developing, band promotions, celebrity dressing, personal shopping, etc.
 
            However, although the company has made many modifications, it still adheres to its personal guidelines in that N.Y.C. Public Relations is still a hands-on, full service agency that provides clients with a wide range of resources in the fashion, health, entertainment, nightlife & lifestyle industry. In turn, N.Y.C. Public Relations believes in working closely with each client to create and promote a signature image. Because it holds value in building personal relationships, the company is able to keep its clients’ needs a priority.

Blue jeans are the foundation of many men’s wardrobes. What is the basis of this love affair men have with jeans? It probably comes down to versatility. Jeans can be worn at home, on a hike, on the job, or at restaurants, bars, concerts or parties. In fact, aside from black tie functions and weddings, there are very few places that jeans should not make an appearance. What other men’s apparel has this wide a territory? Today there are so many styles of blue jeans, that finding the right pair of men’s jeans is always a challenge. Luckily, there are a few guiding principles that can help men select a pair of jeans.
Clothing styles change every year, but some styles of jeans remain timeless and can be worn year after year without appearing outdated. For example, original blue jeans, which have evolved from the age old denim work wear, are very versatile and never go out of style. Slightly faded blue jeans are a staple casual wear style that can also transform into a hip outfit with a sports coat and the right dress shirt. Even more faded, “dirty denim” men’s jeans come in a brown rusty color or dirty blue with stylized designs that can rise above trends with an enduring appeal.
Any more color variation beyond the dirty denim options, however, is too trendy and therefore loses the timeless quality that jeans are prized for. Flashy colors like red should be avoided, and outdated black or white jeans hearken back to the 80s. In addition to color, the fit is a key ingredient. Jeans should not be too tight or too loose, both of which appear out-of-date and can often look ridiculous. A tight fit at the bottom of the leg, tapered pants or wide bell bottoms are styles that can look dated, as well. Meanwhile, the straight leg or slightly-flared boot cut stand the test of time.
Jeans tend to shrink when washed so men should not try to find the perfect length, but rather buy jeans a little longer than needed. This way a pair of jeans may shrink to the right length, but this also provides the opportunity to fold the bottoms or alter the jean legs to the ideal length. Preshrunk jeans are an excellent option, because they minimize the shrinkage impact of the washing machine, but even with preshrunk jeans we recommend buying jeans which are slightly longer.
The usage of the jeans should also be a determining factor when deciding what type of styles should be worn. For example, if jeans are worn in a casual workplace, more conservative styles make a better impression. The atmosphere may be very casual but it is still a place of business, and therefore requires a more conventional approach. When going out, however, the men’s jeans dress code has very few restrictions.
In the end, men are encouraged to look for jeans with style. Just because styles are classic and timeless does not mean they have to be boring.

The latest trend in women’s handbags is stronger, larger designer bags that can handle the increased weight women carry in their purses. All the gadgets women haul in their bags today—cell phone rechargers, iPods and PDAs, to name just a few—have increased average purse weight to five pounds. That’s an increase in 38 percent over the past five years, and the weight of women’s handbags is expected to increase another 20 percent during the next decade.
Consequently, purses have to be larger to handle the increased bulk. In response, 2008 is seeing a trend toward larger shoulder bags such as tote bags with open tops and straps or handles. “Messenger bags”—large, soft, long-strapped shoulder bags worn across the body—are also growing in popularity.
In addition, straps have to be more durable to handle the increased weight, and designers are adding durable stitching to make bags more rugged and manage the larger loads.
Another related trend is compartment-style bags, with tailor-made pockets in different shapes and sizes to help organize the clutter.

A fashionable clutch purse is an essential component of a woman’s eveningwear wardrobe. The right handbag can make a great impression and complement any outfit. For the last couple seasons, metallic clutches have been the style of choice for purses as well as other accessories and even shoes.
The glitter and shimmer of the metallic texture can make any outfit stand out it’s a great way to add a bit of instant glamour to finish off an evening look. However, fashion experts say metallics do not have to be saved only for after dark—they make a great statement during the day as well.
