When it comes to accessories, many individuals are unaware of the appropriate items that will best work with their outfit. No matter how much fashion experience you have in the clothing world, even the best of us are at a loss when it comes to adding spunk and pizzazz with accessories. There are so many options available, it is easy to throw up your hands and agree to live a life completely void of any accessories. Instead, look carefully at these accessorizing do’s and don’ts before you swear off these delightful items that will add polish to any outfit.
Accessorizing Do’s
Do choose accessories that will enhance your outfit. Look at your outfit’s colors, feel, and texture when choosing appropriate accessories. Work to find accessories that will successfully benefit a variety of wardrobes to stretch your budget and the items available to you.
Do strive to follow current trends when accessorizing your wardrobe. Fashionistas everywhere follow the fashion magazines to see exactly what is considered in and what is totally out when it comes to accessories. Gone are the days of leg warmers, so strive to say current with your accessory options and buy items that are with today’s hottest trends.
Do strive to have that one signature piece that accessorizes your outfit. Many individuals work around a particular piece or a theme when it comes to accessorizing their outfits. For example, look to include a silk scarf in all your outfits or make your signature piece a stunning brooch or necklace that can easily be added to any wardrobe.

We all know jewellery and accessories means big business - both domestically and globally. From Tiffany & Co, Louis Vuitton to Prada and diva….. there are Billions of dollars being made in all kinds of niches every year….
It’s a growth industry with exceptionally high demand and the opportunity to start small and grow to whatever level you like…if you’re in charge.
Consider the story of how one of the world’s best known brands got started…
When Tiffany opened the doors of his first fancy-goods store on Broadway in New York in 1837, jewelry was only a minor part of the inventory. But that soon changed.
After political turmoil in Europe in 1848 caused the price of gems to fall, Tiffany snapped up cheap diamonds, including some from French aristocrats who were eager to unload them. The gems went into new Tiffany-designed settings, prompting reporters to nickname Tiffany "the King of Diamonds."
Tiffany, understood the value of publicity and marketing. He introduced mail-order sales, producing the first catalog in 1845. He also participated in the great international exhibitions, eventually opening a shop in Paris in 1868.
"The Paris Exposition of 1900 was crucial because that's when Tiffany became a name that was known internationally," Phillips said.
There are many big name brands out there which prove how big this business can be built over time, however, these all started somewhere and usually getting started is the hardest part. Madam Glamour primarily focuses on assisting everyday women to carve out a niche within their local market place that will provide personal and financial freedom. Once that’s done, the sky’s the limit.
Madam Glamour is completely different in that we are here to empower YOU to be in charge of your destiny. Yes we provide the best contacts, yes we provide you the best prices, yes we teach you about the industry, yes we show you how to market and expand but NO we don’t share in your profits.
We are here to assist you to create real and ongoing success through growing your own accessories brand. You are in total control. You are truly, in control of your own business.
Whilst franchising has many great points, it also removes virtually every creative decision and is highly restrictive in almost every facet. We believe that being in business is all about choice and we encourage our members to use their own minds, ideas and drive to build the business THEY want.
For this reason, Madam Glamour is not a franchise. There is no one
dictating what you can and can’t do. It’s all yours. We provide the
tools, training, contacts, marketing support and a fully operational
website (branded for you) so that you can then go out and do your
thing…perhaps even franchise your own brand if you like.

Wide belts have been a popular fashion accessory the last few seasons, but if you’re looking for something new, go skinny.
Slim belts often are shown over fitted jackets, long turtlenecks or narrow dresses, but they also can look great with a tunic and skinny jeans.
You’ll find them in animal prints this fall, as well as brown, black and some chain styles.
But for extra polish, grab a high-gloss slim belt in a cheery color such as red or pink.
Bag it
Some women are hooked on shoes. For others, it’s all about the purse.
Here is how London-based handbag designer Anya Hindmarch describes how her bag obsession began:
“When I was about 16, my mother gave me one of her old Gucci purses, and I realized how such a straightforward thing can drastically change your look,” she tells Domino magazine.
“You can be a complete mess, but with a good bag, you feel fab,” she says.
Trick or treat
Come up with your Halloween costume yet? Think Hollywood. Costume suppliers predict the top costumes this year will come from summer blockbusters and the Disney channel, the Associated Press reports.
The top costume for children, adults and even pets: Batman — thanks to “The Dark Knight,” according to the National Retail Federation. And iParty’s list of children’s favorites also includes the Joker, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Hannah Montana.
For adults, pirates and French maids are big and, no surprise here, politics will be another popular theme.

The internet is now the fastest growing sector for advertising dollars globally, so there is no doubt that the online age is upon us. Everyday it seems our lives get busier and busier, so more and more people are turning to the net to save time, money & stress. Companies have seen this trend and are literally pouring billions into their online presence because they know, unless they can offer easy ordering, fast service and as little stress as possible…now, they won’t survive as a business.
With this reality in regard to e-commerce, you need to be sure you get it right. And there are so many areas that people can go wrong! Have you been on a poorly presented website and straight away clicked the back button? We all have.
It’s not because their product is necessary bad quality, it’s just we didn’t like the first impression so we didn’t stay long enough to find out. A badly designed site communicates the products aren’t of good quality or the business isn’t worth dealing with.
Of course, you’ve also got the other side of the coin where the site might look fantastic but doesn’t lead the visitor into the shopping cart. Did you know you have 8 seconds from the time a customer clicks onto your site before they leave, if you don’t make it easy for them to find what they’re looking for? More importantly, you want to convert them from someone who’s “just looking” to someone who’s buying.

This comes down to the information architecture and actual construction. Plus, they need to find you in the first place! There’s a whole other side of keywords, spiders and pay per click to learn about. As a Madam Glamour member, your web site will hit a home run on all of these fronts and more. You just need to supply the logo, secure your own domain name (web address) and provide some basic information regarding your range and branding objective – we’ll do the rest!
Once you have established your brand and a loyal customer base, it makes sense to direct them to a website for reorders because it saves you both time and expense and leaves you free to keep building your customer base.
