Of course, for various situations, you may want to dress differently. If you re going to get married then you may be wondering about Bridal dresses. If you are to have a corporate photo shoot, it doesn’t mean you stick to some office related setting. Think about setting that showcases your strengths. And while considering what suit or dress you are going to wear keep in mind the settings and backdrops you are going to use. They can change the mood of your photos dramatically. Choose your clothes in connection with the settings or backdrops. Darker backdrops (as well as colours like navy, burgundy and grey) usually draw more attention to your face

Getting a New Handbag

I remember reading somewhere that buying a new handbag from brands such as one of my favorite brand Chloé is arguably the most satisfying purchase a woman can make and possibly one of the most important ones in the life of every woman. At the same time, buying the wrong bag can mean that you will need to return it, which in some cases might prove to be rather difficult. This is why I would like to offer you some advice on how to choose your perfect new handbag so that you can rise and shine every day knowing that you are holding something that makes you happy.

1. Try your new handbag, or even try as many of them as possible before deciding on that perfect one. When it comes to shopping for a new handbag, it is a lot like shopping for a pair of jeans or a blouse. You just need to try at least a few of them before you find something that fits you perfectly. If you shop online, you might want to order a few bags at once just so that you can compare how all of them fit you. Many online stores these days offer free returns, so make sure that you spot those that do and enjoy yourself.

2. Do not be shy when it comes to the colour you choose. If you are used to buying black leather bags only, consider going for something different this time. You might be surprised what sort of benefits await you once you choose a metallic bag, or a grey one, or a navy one. After all, not everything in your wardrobe has to be black, right? Don’t be afraid to experiment with your choices and you are guaranteed to be more noticeable.

3. Make sure that you buy the size that fits your needs. If you often find yourself carrying a lot with you such as that extra banana you like to have on your way to work, you will definitely need a handbag that will be able to accommodate your choices easily. There is nothing worse than finding out that what you bought is useless due to its small size.

4. Don’t be afraid to shop in new places. There are some new online outlets that are able to accommodate even the most demanding of ladies for the fraction of the price. As a matter of fact, the choice is so wide that one can find herself fully immersed in the magical world of handbags.
