Every year the world of fashion comes up with new fashion styles that are influenced by different seasons and this year is certainly not different. So what are the current fashion trends of spring and summer 2009?

These days we can clearly see not only the rise of brand new styles that have never been seen before, but we are experiencing the comeback of some old fashion trends. So the right answer to this question lies not only in the future but in the past as well. We can find the proof for this in last winter when we saw models walking down the catwalk in loose knitted sweaters, tartan patterns and embroidered skirts. But just don’t go off the topic and get back to current fashion trends. This year’s spring and summer are going to be colourful and playful and mostly bright and vivid colours are going to dominate. The hottest of all is going to be the red colour which, as we all know, represents love and passion. Although it is a very brave colour you shouldn’t be afraid to wear it this year.

Next colour, which by the way has endured from last winter, is purple and certainly shouldn’t be missing in your wardrobe in the spring and summer if you like to radiate and attract and arouse curiosity in men.

On the fashion walks we could see different tones of light green colour as a result of approaching spring. Some designers have also decided to follow lighter tones like sky blue, metallic and grey because they are considered to be a classic spring colours.

Other colours like yellow, orange and gold are going to emerge more often towards June and July, as they represent the beauty of summer and every woman’s gratification during this season.

Another colour you should have in your wardrobe is gold, although it should be used more with accessories. We certainly shouldn’t leave out white and black and their combinations, as they are always good to enhance elegance and feminine features in every woman. Brown is a colour for every occasion and thus is one of the colours of current fashion trends. Most of us were already getting tired of this long and cold winter and so we have all welcomed warmer temperatures. And as a new season is almost here we can obviously experience a big shift in daily outfits. Every skinny woman who wants to be attractive and look sexy should take an advantage of exposed midriff. You might think it could be too courageous for some women but it certainly is effective and also very practical in hot summer. So if your body shape can afford such a luxury just give it a shot and stay in a line with current fashion trends.

Another revealing feature of the following spring and summer are going to be one shoulder dresses. So this is a good chance for you to take an advantage of it and flatter your surrounding with the sexy look of your shoulders.

The overalls are going to be very fashionable as well and they are designed to suit as a work outfit, or for casual and special occasions. You can reinforce your lines in a big variety of overalls as they are designed as pants or shorts and made from silk, denim and so on. If you don’t have them in your wardrobe you should add it to your list of clothes you want to buy as they are very charming, classy and sexy.

Even if we thought that they are never coming back the ripped jeans denoted reinstatement last year and they are going to be reinforced even more this year. I’m not only talking about trousers but anything that is made of denim and can be ripped to look sexy, stylishly revealing and in a line with current fashion trends.

A jewel encrusted clothing is probably not something you would wear for a casual occasion but it’s excellent for some special occasions. They look very expensive and can give an elegant touch to your style. Don’t ditch them just because they might be considered to be upstream.

Because this year is more feminine driven than any other, the pants and the shorts are not presented as an extensive part of fashion catwalks. When it comes to motifs then flora and folk motifs of Africa and North America are going to be very popular as they represent the spirit of current season when the nature is awaking and growing to the same beauty as you can achieve in such an outfit. Also the star pattern from the last year is going to be replaced with a butterfly motif.Fringing is another thing that outlasted from winter and is going to be very popular this spring and summer. When you decide to do a shopping according to current fashion trends you should definitely get a fringed dress or a skirt if you would like to enhance your elegant and feminine look.The accessories are going to play a big role as well but not as a necessary supplement in a case of need but as a style productive feature of your personality.So here it is, very short and to the point fashion synopsis for spring and summer 2009.

You can clearly see from the picture painted above that fashion is more diverse these days and huge selection of various products on the markets reinforces individuality and more personal approach instead of main stream follow up. So the best thing would probably be to be yourself and shop for clothes wisely as not every single thing is will be trendy next year. Remember that in the current fashion trends is almost everything allowed. So if you can’t afford to spend a lot of money on your wardrobe then you should buy things that might prevail longer then couple of months.

For 2009 Christmas or for any occasions you must be very careful in choosing your girlfriend – wife gifts if you do not want to buy the wrong gift and send the wrong message.

Before buying anything you must know what she want but I know that many times we do not know her wishes and desires but we still want to give her something she likes to make a good impression.

So, here are the top 10 worst gifts a man can give to a woman for 2009 Christmas or any occasions:

1. Never Give a woman, for Christmas any household appliance that you thing it will make her life easier. For example a blender, a toaster, a new vacuum cleaner or anything like that.

2. Any cleaning products that came in large package, “honey, I bought that large box of detergent you wanted”, “I got a discount on this industrial device to clean toilet”… All I can say is to be ready to run

3. Any sharp object with slices or discs, or a set of Ginsu knives. They may someday be used as a weapon against you when you come home with lipstick on your collar after “a boys night”.

4. Do not buy Christmas gifts for you and then pretend they are for her. “Honey, I am sure you will find useful this drills that I bought you.” After you finish talking she already will find it useful in making a 10 cm hole in your head just because you have thought she would accept such a vile gift. After such a gift, you probably will not be there for the next Christmas.

5. Any cotton linen, such as pajamas with a “door” in the back, a night-shirt printed with cartoon characters like Little Mermaid or Bamby. She will think that you do not find her sexy as she is. Pull out your wallet and buy her something sexy that is nice and good quality.

6. Do not buy a cheap perfume that smells like your dirty socks. If you plan to buy her a perfume, chose the known brands and the best for your girlfriend / wife.

7. Do not buy any cheap jewelry with glass stones that you see on TV at teleshopping. She will be ashamed when she will want to show it to her friends so if you decided to buy her jewelry you should buy something nice and with veritable stones and rare metals like gold and silver. If you do not have the money for jewelry is better to look for something else.

8. Do not buy clothes because for a few seconds you think you have good taste in the field of women clothing, trust me you do not have. Women loves her clothes and they like shopping so do not think that you can do this because you will probably fail, badly.

9. Do not give for 2009 Christmas a gift like a subscription to a fitness center or a shop in maintaining silhouette (unless you know for sure that she really wants something like that). She might think that you consider her fat. Most men should know, especially those who have learned the correct answer to the question “Do I look fat in these pants?”.

10. Finally, do not ever buy a woman anti-wrinkle cream or a book on “How not to be obnoxious Sunday to Saturday”. These are not considered gifts actually are considered offending.

These are the top 10 worst gifts for 2009 Christmas and be careful in choosing gifts for your girlfriend or any women friends because you will send the wrong message and you will not like it, trust me I know.

When it comes to buy gifts for women, I personally like and choose jewelry because in my opinion and from my experience you will never fail with a nice jewelry. Jewelry are always in fashion and you must choose something you really like or know that she likes.

So, most of the time I buy jewelry from the internet and there is a website that I trust because is secure, has reasonable prices and I was always very pleased with whatever I bought.

The leaves on the trees are changing and as ever we must change our style to survive the winter months. Looking glamorous takes more effort in the winter especially if you want to keep updating your style but cannot afford to constantly buy more statement boots and coats. You need a new way to keep your style fresh. Big chunky jewellery is one of this seasons key trends, you can wear it over the top of jumpers to create a bright colourful look perfect for jazzing up dreary grey days. Check out Jackie Brazil’s collection of designer jewellery at http://www.findjewellery.co.uk/jackie_brazil/f/, inspired by the vibrant colours of tropical Brazil, it is perfect to cheer you up in the winter month, and bright statement jewellery instantly and easily transforms your look.

One of the other key trends that has emerged this season is the use of silver charms to customise clothes and accessories. All the major designers have charms in their fall collection. Everyone from Tiffany & Co. to Kate Moss and Juicy Couture are into this trend at the moment. They used to only be put onto charm bracelets, they would be soldered on and left on the charm bracelet permanently. Now designers have created innovative silver charms that have easy attachable clasps. Having a trigger clasp, (which are often used as fastenings on necklaces), means that you can easily clip on the charms that you want to wear that day and take off others that don’t match. You don’t have to stick with a cluttered charm bracelet which always looks the same, you can switch them around, choosing whatever styles and colours you want. It makes accessorising an outfit a whole lot easier! Lots of designers are also using charms on handbags, necklaces and key rings which means that you can buy one charm and use it in lots of different ways.

The other good thing about charms is that there are so many available. You are not restricted to boring traditional charms, but can get lots of cool ones. Lots are coated in enamel so they can be colourful and individual, there are stylish diamond set charms and ones touched with gold plating which makes them luxurious but still affordable, you can get these high quality silver charms for between £10 and £35. So silver charms can make great gifts for others (as well as for yourself!). If you buy charms made of silver you can be sure that they will last a long time, that is why they are often given as presents to mark special occasions. You can see a a selection of silver charms at http://www.findjewellery.co.uk/all/c-charms/f/

I would definitely recommend getting the with trigger clasps they will cost slightly more when you first purchase them, but there will be no need for additional work afterwards to get them attached to your jewellery.

It will probably cost about £10 to get a charm soldered onto a bracelet which is about the same as a good quality and secure silver trigger clasp, the difference is that you can move around the ones with the the clasp whereas any soldered charm will have to stay where it is first put.

Silver charms are definitely a fashionable accessory this season, make yourself standout with the wide variety of silver charms that are available.

Express Your Individualism with Contemporary Jewellery

In our age of mass media, mass consumption and mass consciousness being different is not an easy task. Contemporary jewellery has been for a while predominately minimalist, using smooth, curved lines to create a polished look that embodies the form of industrial mass consumerism. But this is changing; when this year is remembered it will be for change, development and progression. Not many months have passed and yet many events have taken place that have changed the course of history, stimulating global awareness in a way that is itself a cause for hope. Jewellery trends for 2009 are riding the wave of this change, fashion has always demonstrated dominant ideology and this year is no different, except that the ideology has changed. We are arriving at a mind set that has natural beauty and self worth at its heart; this is the phoenix that has arisen from the flames of global discord.

Catwalk Styles

Look no further than the catwalk and you can see the importance that is being given to symbolic adornments that glamorize and accentuate the strength and uniqueness of us as individuals. The bottom line in these uncertain times is that we must empower ourselves. Statement necklaces, long earrings and multiple bangles can be used to achieve this; they get us noticed as creative individuals and dramatically show that we have something to say. Not many of us can afford or would wish to wear the spectacular but impractical styles flaunted on the catwalk in our everyday lives. But we can bring the vibe of haute couture and the realism that characterizes 2009 to our wardrobes with key statement pieces, so that we can visually demonstrate that we are moving with the times, that we are the embodiment of contemporary thinking.

Black Jewellery

There are a number of trends that are emerging; the first involves black and silver jewellery. This trend is a good one to develop because black jewellery can be worn on all occasions, you can dress it up or dress it down. Buying striking black jewellery allows you to draw together many different outfits and you can keep the key vibe, big impressions, without making a huge impression on your wallet. An extra bonus is that black jewellery is not going to go out of fashion, invest in a quality piece and you will be wearing it for many years to come.

Quality Over Quantity

Quality is another thing to come back into mainstream fashion, the throw away culture of the 90’s is being outmoded by products that last far longer than a season. It is no longer stylish to have many disposable pieces of jewellery, the focus on being green has now extended to our jewellery boxes. Mother nature is once again being recognized as the greatest designer of all. Natural, floral and leaf form jewellery are now considered highly desirable as they are a symbolic indication that you are ethically inspired. Similarly the focus is on natural stones such as onyx, agate and mother of pearl. All of which are relatively inexpensive, but tick the contemporary ethical and natural boxes.

So get ready for a new beginning, individualism is back. Express yours!
