If you have an interest in fashion and think you have an eye for design then why not create your own fashion blog? A fashion blog doesn’t need to sell clothes, in fact it is often better if clothes aren’t sold on the site, but rather promote items that have been featured elsewhere or talk about how to dress colours together or what to wear for a certain outfit. You may like to do this purely as a hobby or if you want to try and make an income from it you could start to sell advertising space.

Many people are always interested in the latest fashions and what the celebs are wearing. Finding a picture of a celeb and then finding similar items on the high street can attract a lot of attention as people are always looking for ways to have similar items for less.

If you do want to start to sell your own fashion range then it is best to set it up on a different site. You may then link to it from your blog page to show people where they can purchase an item that you may have featured.

Many people all over the UK are starting to look forward to holidays they may have booked months ago that are now only just round the corner. With the awful weather we have experienced in the UK over the last few months, the thought of sun and heat seems like a distant memory to many of us, but with warmer weather on the way the shops have already started to push their summer lines and are ready to get us kitted out for our holidays.

If your wardrobe is in need of some summer clothes to take away with you then now may be the perfect time to do it. Many of the big retailers are having huge sales on to try and entice shoppers in and its not just winter clothes that are in the sale. Debenhams for example had a seven day sale in which they slashed prices on whole ranges such as 50% off Rocha John Rocha. If you are able to bulk buy your holiday clothing they timing it right can save you a small fortune.

If you are unsure as to what the weather is likely to be like when you are away then be sure to buy items that can be layered up. Always make sure you have a jacket or shawl that you can wear if the weather gets cooler in the evenings.

If you have a special occasion that you want to go to such as a wedding or a Christmas party then you will want to find the perfect outfit to wear. For some people, having something nice to wear that looks good on them gives them a lot of confidence and can help them relax and enjoy themselves more.

When looking for the right outfit, try and start early to allow yourself time to order items online if needed and return them. Once you have found the right outfit you can then start to look at shoes and accessories that will complement it. You may already have an outfit that you can transform by buying some new accessories such as necklaces, belts or scarves. If you are quite handy with a needle and bit of thread then you could even go the extra mile and change the buttons on an outfit to give it a completely different look.

You do not have to spend a fortune on an outfit. Look out for special offers and promotional codes that will give you money off. If you are buying an item online then be sure to check the returns policy before committing to the sale.

With winter now well on its way, many of us have started to dig out the winter coats again and wrap up. For some people a coat is just something you put on when you’re going out the door but for others it can be part of their outfit and often seen as a fashion accessory.

Often you may find that one coat is not suitable for all occasions, you may want a coat you can wear when going for walks or playing out with the kids in the garden, a coat for out and about in town or on the school run and a coat for when you want to dress up for an evening out. With all of these in mind without even considering the colour combinations, it is easy to see why some people end up with so many coats.

If you want to be savvy then why not try and chose a few coats that will fit in with a number of occasions. Coats that have removable hoods / or fur can often be good as it allows you to change the look of the coat easily. Also investing in a cheap roll up mac type coat can save space and allow you to carry it around with you.
