Everybody knows that backstage at a fashion show is complete and utter bedlam. Designers are frantically doing last minute alterations and makeup artists and hair stylists are all busy trying to get all the models beautified in time for the show. So, if that sounds a bit like you and your friends when you are all getting ready for a night out, then you could do with the incredibly handy Fashion Emergency Kit! It would be great if we had our own assistants to sew up our dresses, fix our hair and sort out wardrobe malfunctions, but atlas we don't.

However, you can have that all to hand with this amazing little kit! This neat Fashion Emergency Kit holds all the vital elements to looking good. It includes a useful nail file to reshape and buff your digits and 2 x hair elastics so you can sweep your locks up into a glam hairdo. You also get some plasters, which you may need to sort out those blisters after all that strutting and a face wipe and some paper soap, to help freshen you up and get rid of any makeup mistakes. Then last but by no means least, the most important two elements to any fashion conscious devotee, a sewing kit (for any last minute repairs) and of course, some glamour tape to sort out low cut dresses, hemlines and any other fashion faux pas!


Fashion and accessories go together like Dolce & Gabbana. Therefore, for any stylistas who love to mix and match their outfits why not get them the gift of a gorgeous Ribbon Watch? This fantastic Quartz watch comes with 11 different interchangeable ribbon straps. These colourful straps are made from grosgrain ribbon and you simply tie them in a bow to secure them beautifully and elegantly on your wrist. You can choose between stripes, polka dots and plain, depending on your style and of course the season! The array of attractive colours means that you will always have a watch to go with every item of clothing in your wardrobe, whatever the time of year. Plus you can keep all the straps neatly in their pretty pink presentation box too; making this elegant Ribbon Watch the perfect timeless fashion accessory!


If you have always fancied being in front of the camera or know someone whose dream it is to be in a fashion shoot, then why not make that dream a reality by clicking on the Fashion Photoshoot Experience? You will get to be pampered like a celebrity from the moment you arrive! You get to relax and unwind as top professionals create your perfect look. After a creative consultation, you will then have your hair and makeup done in true designer style. Then it's time to step onto the photographic set and enjoy a fashion shoot to capture your stunning new look. A couple of weeks after your portrait session, a viewing will be arranged for you to choose your complimentary A4 retouched image, with the opportunity to order any additional ones you might like. So, are you ready for your close up....?!

It isn't just women who love to be pampered and photographed, men love the limelight too! Therefore all those men who aspire to be like Travis Fimmel or Beckham when he's off the pitch, then treat them to the Fashion Photoshoot Experience for Men! This half day experience includes drinks served throughout and starts with a hair cleanse, condition and consultation, followed by a cut with a top stylist, blow-dry and finish. Next they will receive a range of fashion treatments to prepare them for their fashion shoot. Then it's time for the professional photo shoot, which will include up to 6 of their favourite outfit changes (see, it isn't just women who can't make up their mind as to what to wear!) All of this excitement results in a 7 x 5 print for them to keep and cherish!

When it comes to viewing fashionable women's gifts, don't be left at the back of the show. With findmeagift.com you can have the coveted catwalk front row seat every time! So grab your online gift basket and fill up your goody bags now!

Men's Fashion - Fashion Faux Pas To Avoid

By Andrew Stratton

Ensure that your appearance is decent and acceptable by avoiding these fashion blunders. Men are given a bad rap when it comes to fashion and understandably so.

There are some men that often go out in public looking like they dressed in the dark. If you worry that you might be categorized with these blind dressers, make sure that you avoid the following fashion mistakes.

White Socks with Dark Pants

Nothing looks worse than blinding white socks when you're wearing nice trousers. Unless you want people to stare at your ankles, it is best to match your socks to your trousers. For example if you are wearing a dark blue suit and brown leather shoes, the best option is dark blue socks. The next best thing would be neutral brown socks to blend in with the shoes. The whole idea is to minimize attention drawn to your ankles.

Novelty Ties or Clothing

You may be a fan of Star Wars or you may be a festive soul, but you don't have to wear it all over your clothes. Novelty ties, shirts, and other clothing are the opposite of sophistication. They can be tempting, but if you want to be taken seriously, leave the blinking Christmas reindeer tie at home.

Big Shoes

Clunky shoes are a thing of the past. A decade ago, they may have been acceptable, but today, classic slim shoes work best.

Clothes that Don't Fit

If you follow any fashion rules, this may be the important of them all. Wear clothes that fit! Avoid disgusting everyone by avoiding clothes that are too tight. Also baggy and sagging clothes suggest immaturity and should be avoided unless you are pursuing a career as a rap star.

This also applies to pant length. When wearing jeans it is appropriate to wear them to floor. However, when you are wearing trousers or suit pants, the hem should end at the top of the shoe heel. And unless there is a flood, you should make a strong effort to avoid pants that are too short. A good tailor can ensure that your trousers are cut to the perfect length.

Brand Names

Clothes that showcase the brand name all over the outside are not classy or acceptable unless you are serving as a sponsor. Don't let the clothing companies use you as free advertisement.

Short Sleeve Shirts with a Tie

Unless it is a uniform or you work fast food, avoid wearing a short sleeve button up shirt with a tie. It suggests lack of class and looks silly. Stick to full sleeve button up shirts when wearing a tie.

Too Much Jewelry

Don't wear too much bling. When at the office or on business, one nice watch is sufficient but make sure it is not so gaudy that people can't look at anything else. Save all other rings, necklaces, earrings for after-hours occasions.

Dressing appropriately is critical to success because it is your appearance that gives the first impression. If you avoid these common men's fashion faux pas you will certainly be on the right path to becoming a successful dresser. Before you know it people will be admiring your dress rather than laughing at it.
