Leather Fashion Trend 2012-13

One of the many trends that are in for this fall and coming spring is Leather.

Designers have certainly done their job and made leather somewhat more "attractive" then it was when it was first in around the 80's. People actually like it and want to wear it now.

Though not everyone thinks the same. A lot of people are having trouble adding Leather into their style, and a lot just don't like it.

Personally I like some of it, but I don't think I will be wearing it any time soon. The Leather jackets, boots, purses, and jewelry I like, everything else I'll stick to soft and more comfortable fabric.

What do you think?

Do you like the leather trend? If you do then how do you suggest it should be used? Do you own anything already in Leather?

Or maybe it's just not for you? Why not?

I found a couple of things made of Leather that I really liked on Polyvore.com.

Tips for New Aspiring Fashion Designers

_______________________________________

There are so many fashion designers with thousands of unique ideas. They come from all over the world. Some are lucky enough to know right from childhood they were meant to be designers and some grow a love for it as they get older. When we look at magazines full of gorgeous fashion garments, pictures of models wearing designer clothing and runway shows that give and take so much inspiration, it's easy to get hooked on the action filled fashion world.     It has created a generation where almost everyone wants to be a fashion designer.   That being said I wanted to give a few little tips to some of you who have decided to try a career in fashion design but have no idea where to start. It's not as difficult as it seems.
  Get Inspired Search, observe, and imagine. Search the internet, magazines, and anything that you know you love to see if you get an ideas. Inspiration can come from anywhere, the people around you, the sky, the flowers, literally anything. Observe the people around you, what they love , what they wear, and how they like to wear it. Observe colors that work together, observe everything.  Imagine your new design, and be creative. It might seem a little hard or overwhelming at first because there's so many things already out but if you have vision then it will certainly become easier over time. Your imagination will overflow with ideas.
Start drawing You don't know how to draw? Start by using templates or croquis.  You can find them and many more on www.fashion-era.com or Google.com. Just print them out and then trace them with layout paper and draw your design. It helps you draw faster and helps you get your idea down quicker. Remember, getting your idea down on paper is more important than getting every detail on the figure perfect. After a while you might not need the templates anymore. Then you can start adding some personality to your fashion design model. Maybe a cute hair cut and some outstanding jewelry or make her pose a unique way that adds character to the drawing. Like these few beautiful drawings:

  

Take Initiative Critiques are to improve your work, make the clothes, get the customers, sell the clothes Do not be afraid to show people your designs or to go to other people for opinions.  Remember you can learn from other people and you can always get better at drawing. If you have the guts, you can submit your work for evaluation or maybe for a job if an opportunity arrises. Or you can try having your own fashion line, by deciding on a brand name - registering it - learning to sew or hiring someone to do it for you and getting customers. You can decide where you want to sell, (online, home, small shop, ect..). To read more about fashion design visit the related articles:

Fashion Or Style

Do you have style or are you fashionable?

Believe it or not there is a difference between style and fashion. Fashion is not style and style is not fashion.

What is Fashion?

Fashion changes over and over again. You can be fashionable and where the newest fashion trends out there but never be stylish. Taking fashion too serious can possibly make you a fashion victim.

What is Style?

Style is .. Not being afraid to stand out!

Women of style usually have a trademark, and are recognized by it. Like a great black jacket, or maybe a mix of colors that look amazing on her. They're the ones that would take an item of clothing and wear it in a way that it was never intended to be worn.

Style is .. Knowing when to stop.

For example, many people love animal prints. The difference between stylish and tacky is wearing one, maybe two pieces, at a time. The secret to being well dressed is underdressing. Allowing you to wear distinctive clothing that stands by itself.

Style is .. Going with what works for you.

If it feels comfortable, then you are going to get a lot more wear out of it. Even though something is right off the runway, unless you feel confident in it, leave it alone.

Style is .. Not always obeying silly fashion rules.

Style is .. A good fit.

Keep an eye out for how clothing should fall. You should know where those pants should fall or how that jacket should hang on you. Also size is a matter that changes based on the clothing item, or the fabric, or the designer. Pants made by one designer in a size 8 might be a size 6 in another brand.

The Classics

There is a backbone to fashion known as "classic dressing." It allows a woman to remain stylish throughout every season of her life. These are the women that are not wearing outrageous fashion from the runway, or not following the fashion editorials on magazines. They have they're own signature style and know what looks right and what doesn't. Fashion magazines themselves never meant to be taken literal on every page.

Are you making fashion your own & making it style? Or are you following the rules of fashion? What do you think?

About Me / My first Post, Welcome

Hello there!

Welcome to my blog! Pure Treasure. 
You're probably thinking, 'what a name for a blog'.
 It was kind of hard to choose a name. When you're a new blogger and have no idea what you're getting yourself into, and every site about blogging says it is of major importance, than it gets a little overwhelming finding the perfect name. 
I chose that name because of a quote that says, "A pure heart is the greatest of all treasures." It always reminds me that there is nothing, not even a jewel on earth, more important than a heart full of  happiness, love, confidence, purity, and awesomeness, that really is the greatest treasure. That is why I named my blog Pure Treasure.

My purpose for this blog is

The little things of a blog

 Hello there!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing & the kids are -Not- getting ready for school.. 

Today is Saturday!

Saturday is the day most people look forward to in the week. Whether you are relaxing, or checking things off your to-do list, remember to make the best of everything & smile for the day :)

My saturday  WordPress blog inspired Bible verse *what a mouthful*:

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 6:23
