fall fashion 2009 !
While it's always fun to see what's new each fashion season, it's important to put some thought into each new purchase you make to avoid wasting money buying things you won't wear. That's particularly true this year, with the recession still in full swing.

So how can you look good AND save money? By taking stock of your closet and making a thorough assessment. Make your existing wardrobe work for you as much as possible BEFORE adding to your collection.
Here's your best game plan for fall 2009:
1. Start with a good selection of basic, flattering silhouettes in solid colors, like a sheath dress, pencil skirt, straight leg trousers, and classic button shirt.
2. Mix and match those basics in new ways for different looks.
3. Add a few inexpensive, trendy accessories to make those basics fresh and of-the-moment.
4. Top your old standbys with a chic new coat and wear the heck out of it before you retire it next spring.
5. Be frugal with special occasion pieces. Shop consignment instead of retail for cocktail dresses, evening bags, holiday clothes, and the like.

With that game plan in mind, here are your "best bets" for Fall Fashion 2009:
Black & White
So simple, so classic, so timeless. Start with black and white and call it an ensemble, or add a trendy accessory for an interesting variation.
Chic Neutrals
Wear them together, pair them with colors or patterns, and get your money's worth for these wardrobe workhorses.
Something Red
Nothing says strong and sassy like red. Try a red dress, a red bag, or red lips - just not all at once - to turn heads and get your Scarlett on.
Strong Shoulders
It's the 40's! No, it's the 80's! Whatever you call it, it's time to draw attention to the shoulders again with either an exaggerated sleeve or lapel. . . or by showing a little skin.
Cool Jackets
If you have a "thing" for jackets, you're going to LOVE what's available this season. From leather jackets and swing coats to dusters and caplets, you'll be able to top those basics with an eye-popping look.
Ruffled Tops
The poet/romantic/peasant/bohemian blouse has been popular for years now, and it can add some drama to a simple skirt or pant - or even turn a ho-hum suit into a romantic ensemble.
Statement Necklaces
Want an easy way to draw attention to your face and away from trouble spots elsewhere? Try a beautiful, interesting necklace. Pair it with a simple dress or top for further contrast and emphasis.
Wide Belts
Wide belts can be eye-catching and dramatic, but let me be frank: they're not for everyone. If you have a small waist and long torso, try a wide belt. But if you have a thick waist, short torso, or carry weight in your tummy area, stay away - it will make you look heavier than you are.
Simple Bags
Of-the-moment bags were fun while they lasted, but hard to sustain in today's economy. Try a simple style instead that you can wear with everything until you wear it out.
Great Boots
A great pair of boots can be as eye-catching as a great necklace or jacket. Just be sure to find a comfortable pair that works with much of your wardrobe so you can get your money's worth out of them.

As we are writing the October issue of the Go Girl's Ezine, the New York City Fashion Week - Spring 2006 is underway in Bryant Park complete with runway shows and extravagant parties. According to NewYorkMetro.com, the new up and coming designers to watch are Miguel Pena, Doo Ri, Sue Stemp, Sari Gueron and a few more names sure to be seen in the fashion magazines.
Fall Fashion !
Great! So the designers have already set the trends for spring and you aren't decked out for fall yet. Here are a few tips and trends for Fall 2005.

The Uptown Looks are chic with a nice price tag too:
For Men, Prada is the name of the game and for a different label try Burberry London or Calvin Klein Collection for suits. For women, it is silk all the way in 3.1 Philip Lim, Ferragamo, Rochas or Chloe. Add fur and cashmere to warm it up a bit.
Fall Fashion !
Now what are the rest of us going to wear? First of all, find ways to recycle what you already have. If you followed our advice and have classic base pieces, then you should just add some trendy accessories. And in case I really do have to say it. UGGS are CASUAL. They are not the thing this season but if you must keep wearing them, do not pair them with anything more than casual clothes, and we mean CASUAL. Did everybody get that?
Fall Fashion !
Ok so where were we? Yes, the fall trends.
1. Velvet has replaced corduroy as the winter fabric du jour.
2. Belted jackets, sweaters, and pants are in but be careful if you have large hips or bust. You can make yourself look event more top or bottom heavy.
3. Feminine and romantic are the two adjectives of the season (to a point). Ruffles on blouses seem to follow the rule of the bigger the better this season.
4. Vintage is still in and so are peasant skirts, tunics and knee-high boots.
5. Jewelry - chunky with large beads or polished stones or long strings hanging down nearly to the waist.
6. Layering - superlight knits in layers with the bottom layer extending beyond the top.
7. And on this last one, just remember we report on the trends. We don't set them. Fur and hides are back. Leopard prints are out but crocodile is in.

Before you go out and buy everything listed in the fashion magazines, remember it has to be you and it has to fit you. For some reminders, we recommend rereading our article Your Wardrobe: 7 Basic Steps to Success before hitting the pavement.

Winter is a difficult time to look fashionable, especially if you live in a colder climate. However, it is not impossible. To start with you can buy clothing that are made from warmer materials like wool and cashmere, and that also reflect the colors and patterns from this season’s clothing trends.

Photography is a form of photography that is in a league of its own, there is nothing else quite like it. Most people probably see a fashion shoot in a magazine and while they recognize it's a higher quality than their family portraits or baby photo's they think it all happens the same way.

Throw out a backdrop stick the person in front of it and snap a photo. They don't realise it takes a team of people to do a fashion shoot, not a single person. There is a lot of factors that go into high fashion photography that you just don't need for other photo shoots. In this article I will discuss some of the key points to having a successful photo shoot.

Lighting, as with most photography is very important. However with high fashion photography lighting is used differently. Where in a normal family portrait you just want a steady light that shows up each face nicely in front of the camera, in high fashion you can use the lighting to create shadows on certain parts of the model or clothes, have half the face dark and half light, whatever you want. These extra effects with the lighting is what seperates the great fashion photographers from the mediocre. Of course if you have a great team that helps too.

High Fashion Photography Teams
Having a great team of people at your disposal is essential to having good success in this field. Generally if you're shooting high fashion you want to use the best make-up artist and stylist that you can afford. You should also have an assistant that knows how you use your lights and how you set up a shoot. Having quality staff will ensure a high standard of readiness and preparation for the shoot. If the model and the clothes look good and the set is perfect then the shoot is that much easier for you.

High Fashion Photography secrets to great shots
A good photographer will know that anything that isn't in the photo is irrelevant. But what does that mean exactly? It means that if you're shooting a model from the front it doesn't matter what is on the back of the model because it won't be in the photo.
high fashion !
This means that you can have all kinds of pins, tape, etc hidden at the back pulling the clothes in just the right way for the shoot because it won't be in the photo, but it gives you much more freedom to create the kind of shot you're looking for. This goes for fans and the like also, you can see the effect of the fan or prop in the photo but not the prop itself. Keeping this in mind you can create some unique and lasting effects for your high fashion photography .
