How can I start being a fashion and beauty girl?

I'm 13 and I love fashion and beauty, but I just don't know how to be a fashionista/ fashion and beauty girl! I'm doing this for myself, by the way! What magazines do I read, make -up, any recommended stores, clothing lines, clothes, shoes, accessories, purses (I already have a small Coach Purse), what do fashionistas obsess over (except for fashion and beauty duh!), how do they act, any recommended books (fiction or nonfiction), what do they say a lot, what celebrities are their role models, how do I get great fashionista-baby soft skin, any bedroom (bathroom) make-overs, and any other suggestions are cool! I don't want to be self-centered or mean, I am really nice actually.

Sorry, that's a lot of stuff, but I just love fashion, just don't know how to put it!

Advice would be awesome!

Read TeenVogue, it's the best way to follow the fashion trends. People and Instyle have fashion updates for people your age sometimes. Keep your make-up safe, and clean with a glow that makes you the way you are. Don't make it too dramatic. Even out your make up; maybe a little bit of mascara, eyeliner, a touch of eyeshadow, a little bit of blush, and some gloss will do. Guys don't like it when girls have too much make up. I personally don't like Forever21 because their clothes are cheap material so I recommend that you shop at Nordstroms, Urban Outfitters, and H&M. Always dress according to the ocasio and weather, keep your accessories cute, never mix&match, but don't over accessorize. These days, the bigger the better. Don't carry around a dinky little purse, get your oufit to look more fabulous by carrying a purse that has a lot of room and style to it. Jeans are very important. I love Citizens of Humanity, True Religions, and William Rast jeans. Do not get jeans that are too tight. You'll get a muffin top which means that your fats goes over your jeans beacause your jeans are too tight. It was stated on E!'s 50 fashion do and don't. Make sure to keep the length right, and the butt area looking fit. I use Nu Skin, which is not a very well known brand, but it is the best. I was breaking out one time, I applyed some facial acne creame, the next day it was gone. And for your make up, go to Sephora, not MAC. MAC makes you look like a cake face. GOOD LUCK!

What is the best fashion magazine for young adults?

I recently moved to US and wants to know what the best fashion magazine is for a young adult like me. I am 23, so really cannot relate to cosmogirl or seventeen anymore. I love to dress up and follow fashion trends. I want to subscribe to a magazine where I can find the hottest hairstyle, or latest fashion on clothes, shoes or bags. I am looking for a more mature version of seventeen/cosmogirl.

Teen Vogue for sure! :)

But Seventeen is still good for young adults too, I think.

Teen Vogue!

I would definitely suggest American Vogue. Vogue has been described as the "fashion bible" and is the longest running fashion magazine there is. It is also completely devoted to fashion. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20080328162035AAj1xw5&kid=E5ZGAzfkMksfa91oqjzo&s=comm&date=2008-07-12+03%3A30%3A26&.crumb=

Ummm I would say Look magazine, Grazia magazine, and Elle. But I live in the UK so it might be different. Maybe if you type the names into google there website might come up, you could check to see if they ship to your country.

What is the difference between fashion marketing and fashion merchandising?

Im wondering because i want to be a fashion buyer, like what rachel was in friends, but which would i have to major in fashion marketing or fashion merchandising???

it doesnt really matter they both are the samething if you search for more information on the two you can be a fashion buyer for both of them and also make sure you go to a good school not one that advertise itself on tv late at night those always seem a little sketchy go to top cities like miami, los angelos, new york, chicago and parts of europe..its a risk but its a great career

I just want to add that there actually is a slight difference between the marketing and merchandising functions. If you want to do what Rachel did, go for fashion merchandising. Here is the difference: The fashion marketers work in the corporate offices and rarely have a reason to venture outside http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20071010143152AAHtUjf&kid=JY5RUlHJI3Ljit2RmX51&s=comm&date=2008-09-21+14%3A23%3A41&.crumb=

unless there's a promotional event going on or something similar. Marketers are in the field, involved in how many pieces get to which stores, whether product is moving, that kind of thing. They interact directly with retailers. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20071010143152AAHtUjf&kid=JY5RUlHJI3Ljit2RmX51&s=comm&date=2008-09-21+14%3A24%3A56&.crumb=

How is fashion important to world history?

I am doing a project on ancient Asian fashions. We have to include how fashion is important to world history and how it affected world history. Any other information on fashion and how it changed in ancient Asia ( 1000 BCE to 1600 ACE) would also be helpful. (This is a high school class.) Thank you!

It's relatively unimportant to history. However, since you have to pretend that it is, just discuss the differences between classes' clothing, the difference of religious leaders clothing, and the changes seen in mens clothing versus women's clothing. Research various cultures, and maybe you point out unique clothing like in Korea they have the traditional han bok for various customs.

Well I think fashion is very important because it describes you. It shows people who you are. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20081028144935AAv52fR&kid=JZxWLEv1DzWuNlu81H.k&s=comm&date=2008-12-11+13%3A41%3A40&.crumb=

Fashion in history is important because certain clothes mean different things. From Roman times to acient Egypt to modern day even!!! Fashoin is used to establish social class, royalty, and so on. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20081028144935AAv52fR&kid=IqdkDGH6DXI091ECtbWu&s=comm&date=2009-01-06+10%3A33%3A10&.crumb=

Hmmm...how fashion affects world history is hard to explain, but it's better to think about it as how social history is reflected through fashion.

Think of it as this way. When I did a project on Victorian era fashion, I included the social history part by introducing the social classes and explained how each class dressed and behaved. Then I went on with what they (men, women, and children) wore throughout Queen Victoria's reign.

You can learn from world history, about what the civilisations thought of different things at the time. You can also find out what the different classes thought were attractive and their mindset on certain issues. It affected world history because people judged people. If you weren't fashionable at the time, people would not like you as much. Also it accepts people into ceratin groups in society.

Views on people and how we use appearences to differenciate authoritive figures etc from one another and other people using stereotypical views. However through history as time has past and social views have changed these distinctive borders and distorted due to the fact that the world interchanges its appearances with different mediums of fashion, apart from the Queen attending a royal conference etc, what would she wear and how would that divide her from the rest?...it doesnt because anyone can now wear a suit or jeans or hoodys and although we still have stereotypical views based on clothes the whole concept has become disullusioned through time because of the change in social views etc

fashion is very important in history because some of the most historic people looked at fashion like a different world for them. fashion explains people, and tells about them. 4 some people, fashion is the only thing that they can make thier own.but for some people, fashion is important to history, for some people it isnt, you decide

today in france alot of fashion designers are asian so they integrate asian fashions into todays stuff

You need to do your research...look for fashion schools and the courses offered. The class schedule will give you an idea of what career paths are offered in that field. Some fashion houses offer apprentice positions but you have to do your research. Start taking sewing classes. Look at books to help you be able to draw simple drawings. Get on it already.

Have you ever heard of the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill? Well, I can't remember the exact circumstance, but there's advice inthe book, about becoming an apprentice for someone high up in the company (preferably all the way up, no mid-management yo-yos here) and not get paid for it. In exchange, what you will learn will be invaluable if done right.

For your specific circumstance, you will get to know the "industry" from the back end. You'll see if you really like how things are done, how they are handled, how the true geniuses of the industry got that way, and not just because they had money and a good marketing team to back them up either.

The book is totally worth looking at. Check it out at a local Borders or something for free and you'll see what I mean.

Here's a little snippet from Amazon, btw:

Plus young ladies 18-27ish, please help!!!?

i am a senior in college and a fashion design student. our final is a fashion show. although im a size 10, im designing a plus size clothing line. i have seen my sister, who is plus size, suffer too much cause there is nothing out there for young women to wear. its all either maternity looking, or nightgown old woman looking. this pisses me off, as im sure it does you. but since im not plus size, im having difficulty designing new, confident, beautiful clothes for full figured young women. so i need your help. what's out there that you wish fit you? if you could have any designs, details, shapes, patterns ect., what would you want? anything helps. you can just tell me about yourself if you want. it all motivates me even more. but please!! tell me what kind of clothes you want so i can make them and i promise, you will be able to buy them in stores in no time.

Well, I'm only of the age of 11, pre-teen I guess. But I am ALSO one of the young ladies who suffers from over weight. I would like to help you very much, And here are MY suggestions...

Simple but Cute look, clean look, Preppy type.

Jeans that have hearts, or little symbols and such..

Capris, Cute type, make the legs look less.. bulky?

Print designs, such as black and white polka dots...

Polo shirts, Hollister type shirts also :]

Well, I hope this worksss..

-Me :]

I'm a size 10 also and even in the normal world, I still find it difficult to find clothing that look good on me. I am finding that shirts that skim over my belly (not babydoll), cling to my bust with a V-neck or scoop/boat neck and stop at midthigh are the most flattering. For pants, I find that straight leg, flare or boot cut with a mid waist fits best; it prevents muffin top and the wider leg creates a smooth line. Any shirts or dresses that cover the shoulder or stop at mid elbow are also very flattering because a lot of women are sensitive about their arms. One thing you can always count on in plus sized women are their large busts, so you need cuts that flatter the bustline also, like an empire waist with a v neck. No large or busy patterns, or metallics. Just neutral, solid colors with a brighter burst of color in the bust area to draw the eye.

u r plus size..... im a size 1 :P yay me i used to be a size 8

Why are there only floor length dresses for fat women?

Ok, so Im an American size 6, which isnt too small and isnt too big.

I want a pretty and femenine long floor length night gown dress.

Like this, but prettier...

http://www.gaiam.com.au/Product_Detail.aspx?ProductID=7925

More vintage, 1960s, like this.

http://www.heavenlyvintagelingerie.com/store/item/60084.Embroidered.Heavenly.Blue.Vanity.Fair.Plus.Nightgown.~.42

BUT whenever I try to find one, the sizes are only for 12 to freaking 24! It's so annoying. Is it that they just sell out before I get to them, or is it that these are the only jammies that fat women can wear?

Do you know where I can find small long nightgowns? I have tried places like Target, but it's all the same.

(I cant purchase things online).

victoira secret has them or go to sears they have them also

Because no one wants to see their canckles and cottage cheese, and the dress makers know that.

i never see floor length night gowns, they seem uncomfortable

To hide cankles.

Full figured young women (18-27ish) please help!!!?

and a fashion design student. our final is a fashion show. although im a size 10, im designing a plus size clothing line. i have seen my sister, who is plus size, suffer too much cause there is nothing out there for young women to wear. its all either maternity looking, or nightgown old woman looking. this pisses me off, as im sure it does you. but since im not plus size, im having difficulty designing new, confident, beautiful clothes for full figured young women. so i need your help. what's out there that you wish fit you? if you could have any designs, details, shapes, patterns ect., what would you want? anything helps. you can just tell me about yourself if you want. it all motivates me even more. but please!! tell me what kind of clothes you want so i can make them and i promise, you will be able to buy them in stores in no time.

well im a plus size woman and i really love the clothes that guess has and banna republic i love that stiyle of cloths but thay dont ever make it in my size 20. make jeans that really fit and dont make them look cheep or look like for old woman

a common skill in other countries is learning how to sew

get a pattern, choose your fabric, take some lessons and empower/ free yourself

Hey what a wonderful question! Too many times I try on clothes that look beautiful on the hanger but when I try it on...YUCK!!! Even though it's my size it wasn't cut for my shape.

I like boot-cut pants. That's a flattering shape for me. I need something that follows the shape of my waist on the sides but is loose around the stomach...otherwise i look pregnant. I don't look good in shirt that is waist-length...but something just a bit longer then the waist look better on me.

I get scared of too much colorful patterns (you know, like something from the 60's) on a shirt because the bigger you are the more fabric you need and it looks like you're wearing a blanket o_O But it does look cute on slimmer girls.

I can go on and on about what I like ...^_^'

But yeah I look for things that cover my stomach, I LOVE empire-waist cut shirts. Those are so flattering.

BTW, I would kill KILL KILL to be a size 10 like you!! All of my friends are around your size and I look SO much bigger then them.

Good luck with everything ^_____^

I am not so much a plus sized girl, although a lot of my friends are. One dream I think we all have? Clothes that realize we're not all built like small boys. There's a huge diff b/w my hips and waist. I wear low rises a lot, but I'm really tired of having my bum hanging out of all my clothes. But no one much makes clothes for girls with big butts and little waists. On the other hand, my sister in law has slim hips and a big belly. She can't find clothes that accomodate her stomach but don't fall off her skinny butt.

I'd love to see a clothing line that acknowledges that whole apple/pear problem. That's my dream.

ask your sister what kind of clothes she would like, and then design them as a plus size. nowadays clothes ligns are only for skinnys. my sister is a big girl and it hurts her when we go shopping and we can't find anything her size. it hurts me, too.

A friend once asked Me a very similar question. My reply was that, " Thin is the shape You are before You become cuddly". She liked that. I Personally like 'Round'. When people tell Me to 'get into shape', I remind Them that 'round' is a shape, and that I am a PERFECT round! It is the shape of pearls and this planet, pregnant Women and cartoon balloons containing good ideas!

Also many of the styles that regular sizes come in would look good on plus sizes its just that no one makes them bigger, just some extra fabric. I really like button down fitted blouses, they're comfortable and slimming.

All plus sized girls want to look slimmer. I would pick something in dark colors that doesnt emphasize the size. Nothing skimpy. Nobody wants to see us in something too revealing! I think plus sizes have improved over the years, but I agree with you. They are kind of "old-ladyish" I hope you are very successful with your clothing line. I would like to have more options to choose from.

I would like to see a shirt that is bigger around the bust and arms not to be so long. I don't know if because someone is bigger means you are taller or want to cover your bottom half too. I am 5'2. If I find a shirt that fits then it lays below my hips and make my legs look stubby and makes me look even bigger yet.

Full figure young women (18-27ish) please help!!?

and a fashion design student. our final is a fashion show. although im a size 10, im designing a plus size clothing line. i have seen my sister, who is plus size, suffer too much cause there is nothing out there for young women to wear. its all either maternity looking, or nightgown old woman looking. this pisses me off, as im sure it does you. but since im not plus size, im having difficulty designing new, confident, beautiful clothes for full figured young women. so i need your help. what's out there that you wish fit you? if you could have any designs, details, shapes, patterns ect., what would you want? anything helps. you can just tell me about yourself if you want. it all motivates me even more. but please!! tell me what kind of clothes you want so i can make them and i promise, you will be able to buy them in stores in no time.

First of all, we don't like the fact that "plus size" ends at 28. If they do go to 32-34 they are always "out".

It also seems like plus size clothes come in stretchy material that clinges to your body. I don't understand this. I want something to hide it not show it off.

Styles I like empire waist b/c that is the smallest part. For me, I would rather have thick straps or sleeved shirts as I don't want to show my arm. Also, longer shirts to hide the lower roll (that shows up under the pants). That's all I have now because it's late. Email me and I will come up with more.

GOOD LUCK!!! I really hope you suceed!

basically, i find i like a lot of the styles but everything is made to fit a size 4 figure. tops are too clingy and short.

I'm a 24-26 very big girl and I wear the best of everything my clothes only look maternity when I'm pregnant. I wear anything a person a size 10 wear and I wear it well. I too design clothes for larger teen and Young women. try looking at Torrid.com, oldnavy.com and Alloy.com you'll find the only thing different between our clothes and regular sizes is the fullness of the cut. Please don't discriminate! big women can wear fashionable styles that small women wear and still look classy, sexy and tasteful. we can look go too, I know I sure do!!

I don't know if I am welcome to answer this question since I am 32, but I'll chime in anyways. I am a pretty tall woman; I am 5'9 and wear a size 12-14. For the office, Nothing looks better on a plus size woman than a tailored cut. Large shirts with no tailoring makes a large woman look sloppy. As for shirts, i think you should remeber that larger women also may have a larger bust, so I ould create room in the chest region too . Evening wear; dresses that show off some leg, but leave alot to the imagination. Also, when it comes to sleeves in any shirt, makes sur you make them wide enough so that the shirt doesn't look like its going to cut off the circulation! Weh it comes to csual wear, jeans, should have a lycra in them, so they can mold to the shape without looking too tight. Also try using colors that are fun and flirty. I like the off the shoulder tee shirt, with a tank underneath on a plus size woman and a great fitting jean. Make sure that you make proper sized accessories for these clothes; big girls can rock sling belts, too!

I like clothes that give me room in the bust and the tummy. But I hate shirts that look like boxes. I like darts and slimming in the sides, but flattering. I also like pants that don't have waistband gap. Something that's also slimming.

Plus young ladies 18-27ish, please help!!!?

i am a senior in college and a fashion design student. our final is a fashion show. although im a size 10, im designing a plus size clothing line. i have seen my sister, who is plus size, suffer too much cause there is nothing out there for young women to wear. its all either maternity looking, or nightgown old woman looking. this pisses me off, as im sure it does you. but since im not plus size, im having difficulty designing new, confident, beautiful clothes for full figured young women. so i need your help. what's out there that you wish fit you? if you could have any designs, details, shapes, patterns ect., what would you want? anything helps. you can just tell me about yourself if you want. it all motivates me even more. but please!! tell me what kind of clothes you want so i can make them and i promise, you will be able to buy them in stores in no time.

Well we just want to look the same as other women and wear styles that are the same or similar. Take that into consideration.

Hi

My sister wears a size 16/18 and like u said the only places she can go is to Ashley Stewart and Lane Bryant "motherly stores". I am into fashion big time always shopping and dressing "fly". She loves my dress and wants to mirror it but I am the last size that most stores carry and she is SOL. Anywayz back to part that concerns you she loves skinny jeans, high waist jeans, trouser jeans, colored jeans, cute stylish t-shirts with different sayings in longer lengths, and sexy shirts for going out ( not club wear but on a date ). Good Luck on your final and if you need a model she will be perfect.

cute bras... prints ...like leopard pencil skirts and figure fitting tailored tees uum long shirts sonttimes full figured shirts are wide and short ...im a 10-12 like u but i have flat stomach and big tatas and nice hips so i always want some shirts that dont gape at the buttons....all the stuff on www.torrid.com is good except they sometimes shangi it so all the stuff on there is ghetto...http://www.torrid.com/torrid/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302030166&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442164523&bmUID=1190530068465

that top like draws the attention to your face and is wonderful because no prego look

Need help finding comfy plus size maternity pj's?

I've been looking for some comfy plus size maternity pj's. I don't like sleeveless ones though. I have the two nightgowns shown on Motherhood's page. I've looked at Lane Bryant, Old Navy, Gap...no luck. Anyone have a great place to buy pj's? Need something comfy for the hospital.

Do you plan on wandering around the hospital? The reason I ask is that I stayed in my hospital gown the whole time I was hospitalized due to the amount of bleeding you do after birth. I had nice nightgowns purchased for the occassion but didn't want to wear them for fear of getting them all bloody.

have you looked at target? they always have a great selection

or jcpenny's cataloge/online, or catherine's is for plus size, nice selection

and i'm a postpartum nurse and i promise you shouldn't get anything nice for the hospital, it's gonna get nasty from the blood and hospital germs. The only reason to buy somthing if if you are planning on breast feeding, then you'll need the little top that had easy access and you can find those on breast feeding websites, otherwise wear your hubbies clothes, sweats

I agree, men's tshirts and sweats lol..... look for mens pj bottoms, you should be able to find an appropriate size........ I have been finding my maternity clothes at Walmart for very reasonable prices. Honestly once your in the hospital and baby is born, your not really going to care much what you look like....you just want to be covered and comfortable so check out mens pj bottoms and buy yourself a nice cozy housecoat (not white!)

I went to Burlington Coat factory and got some really cute Maternity Nightgowns, and they came with a nightgown for baby to wear also, that matches. There really cute and soft. I'm going to use them in the hospital, but while im at home, I'm sticking too the hubbys T-shirts and some baggy shorts :).

I had a hard time finding plus size cloths period!!! You can try JCPenny's. Thats where I found my pants at. The only other thing I can think of is to goto wal mart and get the 2 or 3X pj pants, and tops.

You can also try K Mart (if they have one around you).

GOOD LUCK!

Just shop for normal pjs in a larger size. Maternity pjs are very expensive and if comfort is more important than fashion, shop normal stores in the non-maternity section.

Im having the same problem everything Ive found is long sleeve or sleeveless!

personally, I have been wearing my BF's pajama pants and tshirts to bed! They are loose and comfy.. you might want to check out men's pajamas.

Men's t-shirt and sweat pants. Really comfy!

I am a plus size woman and I am looking for a sexy nightgown for valentine's day ... any suggestions?

No nightgown....put a shower curtain on your bed, lie down on it, pour some eatable oil all over your body and tell him to come in the room. Have some whipped cream and fresh cherries ,strawberries and some champagne on hand. Now use your imagination. I can't get any more detailed.

OH DON'T FORGET THE SCENTED CANDLES!!

Happy Valentine's Day.

Victoria's Secret or Fredrick's of Hollywood

save time lay in bed and cover your body in chocolate sauce and strawberries!!!!then you dont have to worry any guy loves food and sex haha

try going to lane bryant

What are some good colleges for fashion merchandising and what are the requirements to get in?

I want to work with fashion. I was thinking of being buyer for a store but im not sure exactly what I want to do yet. But to get into a good school for fashion what are the requirements? Like what grades do you need and are there certain classes or internships you need to get in? And also what are some good schools?

Most colleges that offer fashion merchandising are art/fashion institutes that require portfolios to get into.

That said, there are some "normal" colleges that offer good programs. If you are unsure of portfolio stuff-- Academy of Art University has a 100% admission rate and FIDM has a fairly simple portfolio.

What is Fashion Merchandising and how can i get involved with it?

I really want a job in the fashion industry, and even though it sounds stupid i don't know anything about fashion. So how can i start getting involved and learning about fashion?

How do you get gum off of cloth interior, as in your car?

I kind of got rubbed into the cloth. Its been about 5 days. Does anyone none a product or method to take it out?

Ice doesn't always work, especially if it is rubbed in and not in a clump. What will work beautifully is WD40. Spray, allow to soak 30 minutes, then start working on it with your fingernail. It will eventually come up. When it is all up, then use a cotton cloth and to blot up the WD40. This also works for clothing and carpet.

Use as ice cube. Put it on there until the gum is frozen good and chip the gum away.

Ice is it. Hold the ice on it until the gum hardens and then use something blunt like a butter knife to scrap it off.

ICE!!! That is the easiest way.Just apply till the gum hardens and scrape or pull away from the fabric

i know like 3 people have already said this but...ice! then you can just pick it off then repeat then use fabric cleaner to get the small stuff.
