You may try to save a few bucks by buying a designer handbag replica, but there are several reasons why it makes sense to buy the real thing

1. Although replicas may look like the real thing, the workmanship and quality can’t be compared to the original.

2. Counterfeiters avoid paying taxes since their businesses are generally operated on a cash basis. Citizens like you and I still have to pay.

3. The sale of counterfeit designer goods has been linked to terrorist and gang activity as well as organized crime. Drugs are often smuggled inside counterfeit handbags.

bSpotting a fakeb

There was a time when it was easy to spot a fake misspelled logos, cheap leather and shoddy hardware. Now, fakes are starting to look rather good and its hard to tell the difference. Here’s how to tell whats real and whats not

1. Authentic handbags are purchased from authorized registered dealers. Authentic designer handbags are not sold by street vendors, at home parties, at flea markets, in New York’s Chinatown, in Los Angeles’ Santee Alley, or at mall kiosks.

2. If youre considering a Coach handbag, the companys website provides a list of authorized dealers. Both Coach and Kate Spade give detailed information on spotting replicas of their products.

3. The price. A new Prada handbag will not sell for 50.

4. Country of Origin Labels. The country of origin for Fendi handbags is Italy. If the handbag has a label that says Made in Taiwan, it is not the real thing.

bBuying designer handbags onlineb

If you’re shopping online and find a designer handbag at a price thats hard to pass up, theres a way to tell if you’re getting an authentic product

Read the product description carefully. Some online merchants will lure you into their sites by describing their products as original, authentic or genuine. After reading descriptions, you may find such phrases as inspired by a particular designer. This product isnt authentic and the phrase is used to protect the merchant from trademark infringement.

bWant to know for sure its real? b

It ProductsGiving Buyers What They Want

Whether this is your first holiday selling online or your tenth, you need to understand the current market in order to take advantage of the upcoming shopping abandon that most of your buyers will experience this time of year. Trendwatcher Lisa Suttora, of httpWhatDoISell.com, shares five specific sales trends that retailers should be conscious of entering this holiday season

iPod accessories. Just because you cant afford to sell iPods is no reason not to cash in on this farreaching trend. According to Suttora, The iPod has infiltrated every aspect of our society and spawned an entire cottage industry of related products. You can now sell iPodcompatible clothing, backpacks, and handbags, all with docking stations, as well as iPod mixing stations, protective cases known as iGuys, or even iPod shower encasements. There are, literally, companies emerging every day that make these products, and theyre selling like crazy.

New Luxury products. Americas middle market consumers are rapidly developing an affinity for higherquality products, and these new luxury items range from bathroom fixtures to kitchen appliances and from clothing to tools. These arent extremely highpriced products that only the affluent can afford, but theyre not basic, nofrills products either. Buyers arent looking to spend their money on bargainbasement productsthey dont want the cheap set of sheets they want the high thread count, Egyptian cotton set. Whatever line of products you carry, consider offering the higherend models in that category.

Hot toys. Hightech toys are big sellers this seasondancing dolls, talking robots, remotecontrolled toys that go from land to air and back again. Entertainmentrelated toys, such as Gwen Stefani dolls and Cheetah Girls dolls, are huge this year. My FurReal Pony, a lifesize pet that responds to petting and feeding is enormously popular (and also a good example of the kind of New Luxury item that middleAmericans are gravitating toward).

Status skills. Everyone wants to be an expert on something, to be able to say I did that or I made that. But rather than trying to figure it out on their own, there are now kits and guides to teach users almost any skill set theyre looking to acquire. Wouldbe connoisseurs can get stepbystep instructions on whatever interest they choose to pursue, from winetasting to whiskeymaking to building wooden clock gears. This trend lends itself well to holiday giftsconsider the market you cater to, and what sort of kit or HowTo guide might be of interest to them.

PersonalizationCustomization. People are buying products tailored to their own individual tastes. Everyone wants to be recognized for their skills, and seen for those things that make them special and unique. Whatever their area of expertise, be it golf or gourmet cooking, they want to buy products that reflect the things that sets them apart.

The Christmas shopping season is well underway, and you need to pay attention to the emerging trends and accent your product lines accordingly. Says Suttora, This is a huge season for eBiz owners. If you havent thought about incorporating some type of holiday seasonal merchandise into your product line, its really something to considertapping into the seasonal market can be very lucrative.

When does a ring stop being a mans ring? There seems to be a crossfertilisation of style when it comes to jewellery. Unisex styles in clothing seem to have given licence for jewellery to go unisex too. Now you can buy anything from gemstone, diamond set in gold and titanium rings for men. Before you would only see mens rings limited to classic wedding bands.

Now mens rings come in all shapes, sizes and different styles. Needless to say, mens rings vary from the ostentatious bling of the MTV generation to the more subtle, sophisticated silver titanium rings. Pop stars like P Diddy have put diamondencrusted jewellery on the map. Celebrities and actors have become walking billboards for jewellery retailers falling over themselves in the race to get any exposure for any of their precious jewellery items.

Mens watches, mens rings in fact anything a man can put on show is the key to nifty accessorising. According to new research out by Verdict, British men and women now spend 2.1billion a year on accessories, one fifth of that is spent on jewellery and watches. So as far as men are concerned, mens rings could be just as important an accessory as wearing a watch or carrying the latest mobile phone. The same trend is seen in India, where young men appear more open about revealing a more feminine side. Jewellery retailers in major Indian cities have seen a boom in sales of mens rings, bracelets and earrings.

I asked a number of men how they felt about rings. The answers varied greatly, there were opinions of causal indifference to more cagey, measured responses. Well Id like it to look classy said one. Another one shuddered at the thought of mens rings when I asked him and said well its like putting ten tonne weights on your fingers not good when it comes to typing on your laptop. Oh well. Perhaps for some men its a fierce choice between technology and fashion. For the most part though, the generation of urban metrosexuals all over the world are entertained by the idea that looking cool just doesnt stop at a pair of trendy jeans and a tshirt.

For decades women have mastered the art of accessorising. Anything from hairslides, handbags, rings and costume jewellery have been mixed and matched to revitalise ageing ballgowns, dresses, suits and tracksuit bottoms relegated to the dark recesses of a womans wardrobe. Now there is a chance for men to get in on the accessorising act too. And what better way for a man to make a statement than wearing a couple of mens rings with a causal pair of jeans and a tshirt.

Are you bewildered when it comes to shopping for prom dresses? With all the types of formal gowns and dresses available, there are also many terms that describe the length, design, neckline, and style of a prom dress. You might feel overwhelmed when speaking with a sales clerk at a formal wear shop or even while shopping online for prom dresses. Below we’ve put together some helpful terms and definitions to help you be an informed shopper for prom dresses and other promrelated items of women’s interests.

Prom Dress Styles

Some of the prom dress styles you might see include the ball gown, Aline (princess), sheath, lacecovered, highlow, baby doll, chiffon, oneshoulder, empire, golden glamour, modest, and halter.

Ballroom Gowns and ALine Prom Dresses

A ballroom gown has a very large skirt that billows out from the waist to the midcalf or ankles. It might have a fitted waist and top or a corset type top. The Aline or princess dress flares out to the hemline and is narrow near the waist. It forms an “a” shape as it fits to your body from top to bottom.

HighLow, LaceCovered, and Chiffon Prom Dresses

The highlow dress zigzags vertically at the hemline so it is short in some spots and long in others. The sheath prom dress is one that clings to the body and hides nothing concerning your figure. The lacecovered dress can be a satin or satinlike material underneath with lace as a top layer. Chiffon dresses look similar to a fancy night robe worn by the women of Rome or Greece. With a high empire waist, the dress is long and flows from the hips down to the ankles. It is great for almost any figure.

Baby Doll, OneShoulder, and Sleeveless Gowns

The baby doll prom dress is typically very short and cute. It usually fits at the top and flows at the bottom with a high waistline in between. Baby doll dresses usually come with a tied ribbon or belt around the stomach area to give the “baby dress” look. Oneshoulder prom dresses have only one shoulder strap, of course, with the other side being sleeveless. These are usually long and elegant gowns. There are also completely strapless formal gowns and prom dresses. These can be worn with or without a jacket or wrap.

Halter, Golden Glamour, and Modest Prom Dresses

The halter prom dress looks similar to a halter top at the sleeves and then flows toward the knees. It is usually no longer than just below the knees and may look similar to a highlow dress at the hemline. The golden glamour dress is usually shiny gold to appear like “Hollywood” style apparel. The modest prom dress is beautiful, simple, and modest. It covers everything while still giving the wearer a touch of glamour and elegance.

Types of Sleeves

Cap sleeves are short and cover only the upper arms and shoulders. Juliet sleeves are puffy at the shoulders and taper all the way to the wrist. Some sleeves start below the shoulders or appear to “hang off” the shoulders. Also, spaghetti straps are thin straps with no sleeves.

Necklines

Necklines are also important when choosing a prom dress. The empire neckline scoops out and then connects with a very high waistline. A sweetheart neckline looks like the top of a heart. A jewel neckline is simple and round, located just above the collarbone. The boat neckline (Bandeau) comes around to each collarbone, similar to a sailor’s suit.

Other Prom Terms to Know

There are also handbags, or small purses, and clutches that can match your prom dress. Clutches are small handheld bags with no straps. Shawls and wraps are not jackets but fit around your shoulders loosely. You can wear them when outdoors during cold weather and easily remove them for dancing. A tiara is a princesstype hairpiece than can be worn with your hair up or down. There are elbow gloves and wrist gloves. Elbow gloves reach to your elbow, covering the bottom part of your arm while wrist gloves only cover the hands.

Before shopping for a prom dress, know what styles and accessories you are looking for so you can save time. Also, go online to view all the different styles available. You can even find great deals online on prom dresses by designers such as Mori Lee, Jovani, Clarisse, Niteline, Dave and Johny, Paris, Riva and Alyce Designs. There are often beautiful dresses online for the prom, homecoming, and other formal events that a local formal wear shop might not offer.

Designer handbags are rather popular when it comes to decorating the wardrobes of desperate housewives to flashy celebrities on Rodeo Drive. While there are tons of designer handbags to consider, there are few whose style, design, and reputation surpasses that of authentic Gucci handbags.

With a history deeply rooted in the early 1920s, authentic Gucci handbags didn??t acquire an iconic reputation until their first handbag with a bamboo handle was introduced in 1947.

From then on, the popularity train has yet to come to a complete stop. Today, the demand for authentic Gucci handbags is so high that anxious consumers are even willing to accept a knockoff just to possess the Gucci name. Unfortunately, the present market is saturated with imitation designer handbags, which love to duplicate Gucci items. When looking for authentic Gucci handbags for your next purchase, there are a few suggestions you might want to consider.

Before purchasing a Gucci product or any other designer handbags, you should exercise caution, as well as eagle eyes. There are a few ways to determine whether or not you are in danger of purchasing an authentic Gucci handbag fake. First, the stitching of a designer handbag is rather telling, particularly around the edges. If your potential buy is one of the many dazzling authentic Gucci handbags on the market, it will display highquality, fine stitching throughout the body of the bag. Fake designer handbags often showcase uneven or poorly executed stitching.

The construction of authentic Gucci handbags is also important. The quality of materials will alert you to the realness of your potential purchase. Make it a habit to analyze the leather, canvas, or other details. Cheaplooking or sloppy craftsmanship is a sure sign that you are looking at a fake Gucci handbag. One of the best ways to make sure you are purchasing authentic Gucci handbags is to shop or browse legitimate department stores and Internet sites.

A handbag is a bag and its main purpose is to keep your belongings as well. You don’t want to be carrying your belongings outside your bag would you?

You don’t want to be a talking point just because you carry an awkward looking bag.

If you are short, do not pretend to be tall. You should instead choose a bottledshaped designer handbag or a knapsack which is not that large.

To counteract the frenetic pace of today’s hectic lifestyle, you probably want your home to be your sanctuary. And, when it comes to decorating your home, Asian decor is unique in its ability to convey that sense of peacefulness and harmony that is all too often missing from other elements of life.

One of the wonderful things about Oriental decor is that it’s extremely flexible. You can add soothing Asian touches throughout your home, or go all out and transform your living space into a serene Asian paradise. Either way, here are some ideas to inspire you

Asian Lamps

Asian lamps can add a decorative touch and infuse warm light in your living room or bedroom. Saa paper lamps are typically square, and are constructed from natural materials like bamboo, teak, or rattan, with handmade and handpainted saa paper covering the frame. While some Asian lamps are painted with a decidedly Asian theme, others complement any style of home decor. Available in a variety of colors and designs, these lamps bring both artistry and harmony to a room.

For the Table

Asianinspired table settings stand out for their elegance and simplicity. Bamboo placemats can be used every day or paired with silk table runners to bring more formality to mealtime. Bamboo skin candleholders and tea lights add to the ambiance created by good food and great friends.

Accents for the Home

Whether you’d like to recover throw pillows on your couch or want to accent infuse your bedroom with an Asian influence, you can’t go wrong with cushion covers. Handmade using natural fibers like Thai silk, wool, and cotton, you can easily slip them over your existing pillows or slip a pillow form into them.

Another way to bring contemporary Asian decor into your home is through the use of silk photo frames. Thai silk gives your treasured photographs an elegant touch, while the fabric patterns easily coordinate with modern home decor. Similarly, silk jewelry boxes are like art, in that they add a touch of elegance to your decor while allowing your precious jewelry to shine.

Silk shawls and silk scarves can also bring color and texture to your home decor. Handwoven in both rough and smooth textures, silk shawls and scarves come in virtually every color and finish imaginable. Use them to drape over nightstands, as runners across dressers, and over lamps (not too close to the bulbs, though!) to add elegance and a touch of romance.

Beyond the Home

While you’re shopping for silk scarves, you may want to select silk handbags for your wardrobe. Elegant silk evening bags are the perfect accessory for formalwear, while totes and backpacks are beautiful and functional for everyday use.

Shopping for Asian Decor

In times past, shopping for Asian decor meant traveling to exotic locales or paying highend designers to discover exquisite pieces. Thanks to the Internet, though, you can shop for and buy Asian decor directly from Asiabased wholesalers who work on behalf of an artisan who crafts the pieces by hand. In other words, creating a home filled with tranquility and harmony can be achieved with a few clicks of your mouse.

Finding unique gifts for family and friends can be a challenge for even the most seasoned shopper. Throw in a dash of holiday madness, mass broadcast advertising and several pounds of flyers in your mailbox, and your head might be full of this years newest musthave, but not particularly unique gifts. To make an impression, however, toss aside the traditional gift ideas that everyone will be giving and receiving and focus on finding unique gifts that reflect the interests and personality of your gift recipient.

When looking for ideas for unique gifts, think about the person who will be receiving your present. What does he or she like to do for hobbies? Do you know his favorite color or her taste in music or clothing? What does this person need? Is he or she facing any major transitions in the immediate future? Creating an informal profile will help you come up with unique gifts to suit each person on your list.

For example, if you are searching for unique gifts for your wife, take a look in her closet. What colors and styles do you see there? Perhaps you could borrow an outfit or two and take them to a jeweller as inspiration for a piece of custom jewellery like a set of oneofakind earrings made to match her favorite dress. Talk about unique gifts!

A new college student might appreciate unique gifts centered on a school theme, such as a gift certificate to a local furniture or book store, a compilation of his or her favorite songs or perhaps a collage of family photographs or a painting of a loved pet to help decorate a dorm room.

Depending on what you choose, unique gifts dont have to be pricy gifts. Some of the most cherished and unique gifts are those that are handmade. Consider some of the following

Unique gifts you can make

Scrapbooks these can be as playful or as elegant as your imagination, and are a great way to store and present photos.

Ornaments delightful ornaments for Christmas and other occasions can be crafted with only a minimum of resources. Use common materials such as beads, wire and glue to create lovely and memorable pieces.

Clothing accessories if you can sew, knit, or crochet, the possibilities for unique gifts are endless using simple patterns, beginners can make hats, scarves, mittens, handbags, skirts, jackets and more.

Stories, songs and artwork if youre a gifted writer, musician or artist it would be a shame not to turn your talents into unique gifts that family members and friends are sure to cherish, so be creative!

If you arent the handson type, you can also purchase unique gifts throughout the year. Keep others in mind as you browse through craft markets, auction sales or artisans fairs, and if you find something wonderful, tuck it away until the next birthday, Christmas, anniversary or other event. Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated, and everyone will be wondering how just you find such perfect and unique gifts.
