The Hills is a perfect example of a reality show that has a huge influence on the clothing purchases of thousands of men and women around the country. The girls on this show are young, beautiful, and rich. Who wouldn't want to take some tips from them on how to look and dress?

Women's Historic Fashions Appear in Modern World

Fashion has a way of repeating itself, more than one might think. There is more to fashion than just what is hot and new and trendy today; a lot of times those trends reflect women's historic fashions that were in style hundreds, sometimes even thousands of years ago.

One example of a historic fashion that has resurfaced today is the string of pearls with a satin bow attached. Women everywhere are purchasing this style of jewelry to keep up with the times. Little do they know that this style was featured in the 1600's.

As for the top designers, some of their logos reflect ancient history past as well. Take Versace, for example. That famous Versace logo can be compared to a Medusa head, which dates back to ancient Greek times.

Animal skins are clearly an uglier part of the fashion world that takes root in ancient times. It is still considered a sign of the upper class to wear shoes, coats, and jewelry made from the hair, skin, and bone of various and sometimes exotic creatures.

If you really put your mind to it, you can come up with lots of historic influences on modern women's fashion, from turquoise of the Native Americans to eyeliner and perfume of ancient Egyptians. History can make fashion a little fun and a lot more meaningful.

Women's Fashion Clothing For The Holidays

The best choices in women's fashion clothing during the holiday season, and during any other time of entertainment, should integrate elements of style as well as function.

What do I mean by this? For starters, think about what you are wearing at a dinner party. Are your beautiful, flowing sleeves going to end up dunked in a bowl of holiday eggnog? A long hanging belt might look stylish with long pants, but will it infiltrate serving bowls where it doesn't belong?

You can look sexy this holiday season without showing skin. A few small sexy details suggest your natural attractiveness, rather than scream it out loud.

Fur A Part of Women's Fine Fashions?

The ugly trend of using real fur in women's fine fashions has returned. Many of the top designers are highlighting fur accents on the runway this season, and the trend is making me sick.

The worst part about it, other than the fact that plenty of innocent animals had to die just to make a coat look expensive, is the fact that a lot of the fur being used is getting dyed all kinds of crazy colors. If you want a coat with hot pink fur trim, why can't you get faux fur? Why can't it be synthetic fur, made hot pink, not a little animal, or many little animals, dyed hot pink?

Designers like Michael Kors know that real fur is tempting for women of status. Real fur still denotes a certain amount of luxury and class. If you are against the practice, do the obvious: don't ever, ever buy clothing made of real fur.

A Few Tips For Tall Women's Fashions

Listen up, ladies. If you are tall, you better be loving it. Every short woman wants to be tall; tall is what is on the runways, tall is what fashion strives for. Tall is beautiful, and you should be feeling beautiful in all your long features.

Tall women's fashions are aimed at doing everything that short women don't get to do. This makes dressing a lot more fun for tall people.

It is recommended that shorter women wear clothes of all one color to integrate the separate areas of the body. Wearing a different color on top than on bottom emphasizes a short woman's shortness; it compliments a tall woman's longer features.

Don't listen to people who tell you that it is best for tall women to wear flat shoes. You may not want to tower over your date, but high heels sure can make your legs look good.

Mid-length skirts are sometimes the best way to go when you don't want to make your legs look super long. Pants and long skirts have so much material below the waist; your legs can appear spidery and never-ending if you choose a skirt too short or too long.

Why We Love Women's Summer Clearance Fashion

I don't know if it is because global warming, or fate, or whatever, but I live in the desert, where the summers are continuously getting hotter and lasting longer. I can wear summer clothes all the way into November now, which makes it pretty nice for me to not have to drastically change my wardrobe throughout the year.

It is partly because of my hot weather life that women's summer clearance fashion works out so well for me. It is great for some women to buy summer clothes cheap and then save them to wear for the next year. They have brand new, clean, cute stuff to wear each summer that they didn't have to spend too much money on. They can even do the same with winter, and wear inexpensive, yet nice, clothes year round.

But for those of us who live in the heat, summer clearance fashion just means we have an opportunity to upkeep our regular clothes at extremely low prices. While the rest of the country is preparing for snow, we are trying on flip-flops!

Women's Fashion Tips For Petite Women

Good things come in small packages. A shorter woman, classified in the fashion industry as a petite woman, should still be able to find flattering clothing, despite the fact that most of the stores seem to sell clothes for supermodel body types. If you are 5'4" and under, here are some women's fashion tips for your women of your height.

Try wearing all one color or at least one family of color. This keeps from separating the top and bottom of your body, which emphasizes your shortness. One color elongates the appearance of your body, making you look tall and slim.

Don't wear a short top with short pants. If you want to wear a short top, pair it up with long pants and or/ high-waist pants. If you want to wear shorter pants, wear a long top. This mismatching will make at least one part of your body look long .

To determine of a print is okay for you, look at the size of the items there. Each part should be smaller than the size of your fist; otherwise, the pattern will swallow your whole body up.

V-necks are very flattering on the petite frame. The shape of the top opens up the upper body and creates an illusion of long lines.

New Line Of Sporty Women's Fashion Apparel

If you are a woman who likes to work out, go to the gym, and be active, you naturally want cute clothes to do it in! I personally hate going to the gym where there are tons of good looking people, while I am wearing a faded old t-shirt and last year's spandex that are just a little too tight this year.

There is a new line of affordable women's fashion apparel that is made specifically for athletic purposes but will still fit any size woman. Best of all, it was produced by one of America's biggest fashion icons herself: Sarah Jessica Parker.

The clothing line is called Bitten. Nothing in the entire line costs more than twenty dollars. And it isn't just for women who can look and spend like this famous actress. Instead, the clothes are made for the normal woman ranging in sizes from 2 to 22. Not only that, but after buying clothes this cheap, you'll have plenty of money leftover to spend on yourelf and for fun.

Bitten is available at Steve and Barry's, a discount fashion apparel. If there isn't a store in your area, check it out online.

Positive Images Arise In European Women's Fashions

European women's fashions are taking after the influence of Spanish design companies, who have altered their size charts to meet the needs of a more realistic and common body style.

Not all women are born with tiny hips, nor can they keep a young, tight body through their forties and fifties. That shouldn't mean they have to sacrifice high fashion or well-fitting clothes.

The change in fashion sizing came from a study completed by the Spanish Health Ministry, which traveled around the country measuring women's bodies to find out what their measurements really are.

Spain is clearly making an effort towards encouraging healthy and realistic perceptions of beauty. The government is even going as far as to pressure stores into replacing the super skinny manikins with ones that are fuller and more human-like.

As many of the Spanish retailers are sold throughout Europe, other designers are sure to follow in Spain's footsteps. This is a great step forward and shows how fashion can actually have a positive effect on consumers worldwide.
