Fashion is not just about the clothes you wear but also how you carry yourself from every little piece of thing attached to your body to everything that you use. Gadgets are also a part of it. Imagine you are in a business meeting with a client, and you want to close the deal with them. But suddenly, your phone rang and you had to excuse to them and take the call. Then you bring out your Nokia 6110, that is geez oh so obsolete and out of fashion. What do you think would your clients think about you and the company you’re working at?

Being at work and talking with clients still require you to look presentable and great; typical business attire may be matched with a few formal or simple accessories. Then you add some techie stuffs, most importantly a mobile phone to take business calls.

Good news for Nokia’s corporate clients! Nokia now introduces the company’s latest phones for their corporate clients. Nokia E71 and E66 feature a full keyboard and a stylish look. This coming July, these phones will be released in the market and could be availed for approximately $540 or 350 euros. These Nokia business phones will definitely draw a good competition for Canada’s RIM and Sony Ericsson. These phones have a resolution of 3.2 Megapixels. E71 is only 10 mm thick, the thinnest mobile phone so far with a complete QWERTY keyboard while E66 is just like an E71 with a slide.

These phones will definitely make you look fashionable as you do business with your clients.

Fashion starts at a very young age and the ones responsible for this are the parents. Although the kids can choose the type of clothes they want to wear, when our kids are still young, the parents are in-charge of shopping for your kids’ clothes.

Kid’s fashion does not necessarily be as stylish as the adults’ because there are more important things to consider other than the looks. Kids may be stubborn when they are not comfortable with what they wear, especially during summer in equatorial countries who reach until 32 to 36 Celsius during summer. Comfort is the most important factor that is considered by all the parents when they shop for their kids.

There are fabrics that are cool and smooth with the skin such as cotton (the thinner the better) which is perfect for summer. Polyester fabric clothes could create more discomfort during hot seasons. The style of the clothes will also depend on the season. If it’s summer, kids would also want to have those tiny little shorts and a bright-colored tee that’s perfect for the season. The occasion also dictates what to wear. Nothing else could be more appropriate than kids’ bikini when your whole family goes to the beach. Of course, a comfortable formal dress is the most suitable clothes to wear for a formal party.

Shopping for kids is no longer tough nowadays. There are numerous clothesline and kids’ stores that offer a wide variety of kids’ fashion products. Whatever fashion offers for adults, there is also something that is offered for kids. Parents should just have to choose one, or help their kids choose the type of clothes they want to wear.

I love both, but I love plains more than prints. Why? It’s just one word and that is “Accessories”. I am a late bloomer and it was only the time when I turned 16 that I realized the concept of fashion. When I was in my early teen years, I just wear what I randomly picked from my closet, wear them as they are and I’m done preparing for school. But I just realized how more beautiful my classmates have become while I become the opposite. So ‘til then, I really allotted time to prepare for school, carefully pick my clothes to wear for the day, put on some little make up and accessorize.

Going back to plains and prints, I began loving Plains since I was a kid. But accessorizing myself when I wear them was just I think five years ago. Plains are those in single color and no prints clothes. Their plainness gives you the opportunity to use exaggeratedly huge accessories such as earrings and necklaces.

One important note when picking accessories to wear, you just have to pick one as your focal point – the very first accessory that you want other people to notice and say, “Gee that’s so fashionable.” If it’s the earrings, wear dangling earrings and leave your neck bare. Add some bracelets or bangles and put on a little make up. If it’s the necklace, wear tiny earrings that matche with your necklace and wear super mega large necklaces that matches the color and style of your tee or blouse. The advantage of plains over prints is that it allows you to experiment on your total look with your accessories. Mixing and matching is the key to a fashionable plain.

Prints on the other hand, could be considered as accessories themselves. Putting on exaggerated accessories could ruin your style so you just have to use discrete ones. If you are less experimental and less patient in finding accessories to match your clothes, wear prints over plains. You just have to choose the prints that will match your age, style and complexion. For tees, choose those with artistic prints or those with eye-catching tag-lines.
