Wow they all look gorgeous, jane! I especially like the last dress with all the colors and patterns. Well, I probably can’t wear them unless I have an event to attend, but still, it looks like a really pretty dress to have in your closet. :)

Who here is just crazy about Anthropologie? I love how so much of their stuff is so incredibly unique--most of the tops, sweaters, skirts, etc can't be found anywhere else. The prices are on the high side but they do come down for sales and for alot of thr pieces it truly is worth it.

That’s okay because we don’t always have to follow every single trend that comes out. Trends are there to give us ideas and to get us to reinvent ourselves every so often, but we should never forget our own style. :)

There’s a new trend out right now, kind of makes me want to sing, Mary had a little lamb. ^_^ It’s so countryside and I think it’s one of the more “quiet” catwalk looks. What do you think of this shepherd-inspired runway trend?

That’s right, I think it’s safe to say that different shades of the same color can be worn together in one outfit! But wearing the exact same shade from head to toe might be a little tougher to pull off. But I think I’ve seen a few who got away with it!

Find the level on your legs that have the narrowest circumference. If they’re mid-calf or below, then your shoes/ boots should never go above these. The narrowest circumference of your legs, if for example they are right above your ankles, should be exposed to give the illusion that everything else is just as narrow. ^_^

I just joined and have been looking around on the site. All I see are people with 1 sale, and these are people who signed up two years ago!? It is obvious these are sales from other members but don't you want off the chart sales!? The problem seems to be lack of promotion....

What do you do to promote your store/the site?

There is so much promise for everyones store if we all make an effort to promote the site as well as your store! I have been thinking about getting business cards (vistaprint-pay shipping only!) because I really would like to boost my sales.

I don't want to sound pushy, but I need this site to work for us! I am 34 and was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, after being a dental assistant for many years as well as a server etc., my body cannot handle a full time job. I have two small children as well and my hubby supports us all!! I NEED to help him with the bills any way I can.....

If we all put our heads together, mention the site to at least 2 people a day,like on Facebook,signup on Twitter, maybe post some ads or include a link in your email signature-it will add up!

Perez Hilton uses the phrase fashion smashion- getting people to this great site with the great name www.smashion.com should be easy!!!!

So I guess it depends on what “comfort zone” means. Perhaps it’s easy to wear a dress that’s not exactly your style as long as it doesn’t keep you from tugging or pulling at it all the time. It helps to be bold sometimes – as long as physically, you’re comfortable. That’s just me :)

>>> First post by sandra on 18-Jun-10 6:24 AM

Do you always dress within your comfort zone or do you try on clothes that you are not very comfortable with? When I say comfort, I don’t mean in terms of fit or size; I mean in terms of emotional and mental aspects. Like would you wear miniskirts if you’re more of a shorts person, just so you don’t look like you’re wearing the same style over and over?

My red bag is starting to be a nightmare. I don’t want it to get old. :( if I go to professional bag maintenance shops, they might cost me a fortune! So if there’s anyone here who knows what to do, I would really appreciate the help. ^_^

I have a red leather bag which I love to death. But something happened to it; something I don’t know dripped on it and its color faded where the chemical splashed onto it. is there a way I can recolor my bag on my own? The spot is like just as big as my thumbnail but since the bag’s red, it’s really obvious. Yet it’s too small for me to have it professionally done. Any suggestions? :(

Marilyn, that’s true, it’s kind of bad karma to typecast people I agree! That’s why I don’t want to say Russian models have it made. It may seem like a compliment, but it may look insulting to all the other models from other countries. ^_^

Amongst all models, American, European, Australian and Asian, Russian models are my favourite. Their bodies are particularly made for the ramp. Looks like these girls are carved out only for modelling. They have sharp,edgy and elegant features which are very distinct from the rest. Anna Kournikova is one among the most sought after Russian Supermodels.

I think the nineties is also on its way back. As for your fringed leather purse, it’s been coming back since early last year! A few labels have already released fringed bags and purses! You better be using yours before everybody starts doing so, hehe!

What are the items in your closet you’re “saving for later”? Do you have certain accessories and clothes you purchased in the past which you haven’t worn until now? Do you often buy clothes which you don’t need at the time but you buy them anyway because you just might need them?

I clicked on this topic because I thought there was a free prom dress… did I just get fooled into believing something that ain’t true? Hmm… well, not that I’m attending a prom. Still, what’s with the misleading topic?

I shop online, definitely. I’m almost always too busy to go out and go through all the stores but I love buying clothes and gadgets. So I go online and shop there instead. Thank god for the internet…

>>> First post by sandra on 04-Jan-10 7:16 PM

Even when all the stores have closed for the night, I resume my shopping online. Hehe, I love windowshopping and going through different items, even if I end up buying nothing.

I've actually sold something and had a pair of shoes shipped from all the way across the globe! How about you, do you shop online? Have you bought anything online?

Nice dress, ny_girl… I think it’s a great dress to wear for a summer wedding. It looks very comfortable and so feminine, too… I like the sleeve details. I also like that it’s in a polka dot pattern…

The first of my friends is getting married this summer. This will be my first wedding since high school when it was just family members.

It's going to be an outdoor wedding that's going to go from day to night so I was really worried and confused about what to wear.

I found a great blue, linen dress which turned out to be too small and I couldn't return it. Luckily it sold on this site!

Today I finally managed to find what I think is the perfect dress for me at a great price.

What do you guys think? And, what would you/have you worn to summer weddings?

Oh I think I’m guilty of this too… I have a pile of magazines on the floor and I can’t seem to get enough. I don’t know why but it’s therapeutic for me to skim through fashion magazines and look at all the pretty clothes…

>>> First post by sandra on 27-Jun-10 5:37 AM

Do you spend way too much money on fashion magazines? Sometimes I end up asking myself this question after looking at my magazine collection. Sometimes I think, if I didn’t buy the magazines, I could have bought myself another dress. Haha!

Have you seen the new DKNY 2010 Spring line? Gawd, it's beautiful! The clothes were wearable, hip, and they're something you can restyle over and over to come up with new getups. I especially loved the grey shirt with pink prints - lovely!

I just gotta get those clothes... Must save enough money for DKNY!

One thing i do love about statement rings is that no matter how gloomy your outfit looks, you end up looking "put together" when wearing statement rings. they tend to add life to any outfit! that's why i have a few rings like those in my accessory box! ^_^

Thanks, alishop and janejinx! Your suggestions are really great. Actually, I bought an eighties inspired outfit that’s perfect for clubbing. It’s eighties inspired but it doesn’t look dated, plus it doesn’t look skanky at all. :)

Do you have a favorite website to go to when looking for ideas on what to wear? I want to have many ideas in the coming days because I’ll be frequenting a bar that my friend and I are trying to promote. I want different looks! :)
