Clip in hair extensions are one of the most popular ways to add length or volume to your hair. The convenience and speed of clip in hair extensions mean transformation is almost instantaneous and, while you can go to the salon, most people can put them in and fully maintain them at home.

Hair extensions come in a variety of types. Some use glue to attach the extensions, but these can become untidy, cause tangling and they also loosen as time passes. Weaving is almost permanent, but it’s also very expensive and can damage your own hair.

Clip in hair extensions offer instant results and are generally extremely good value and can be reused time and time again. Look for good quality brands that will also keep your extensions secret, just a natural part of your look. By choosing the best in human hair extensions – Remy has the best reputation - you’ll have a wonderfully natural look that you can style as you choose. Clip in hair extensions are sold in a variety of setups to suit the user’s need.

Full head extensions look very natural and can add volume as well as length. If you feel your hair really needs a volume boost then try double wefted extensions. These are what you see when a celebrity’s hair suddenly grows between photo shoots. Double wefting simply means that twice the number of strands of hair are used, usually sewn one on top the other, and really add volume. There’s no need for extra clips, so they’re just as quick and easy to use as any ordinary full head set.

If you want a splash of colour then choose highlighting clip in extensions. Stay close to your own colour for subtle highlights or go for contrasting streaks. The range of colours is enormous and the only limit if you imagination. A great way to glam things up for an evening out or party.

Some companies sell DIY sets, designed to be cut by the customer to create the perfect bespoke extension. They are usually supplied without the clips attached, but that’s a very simple process.

One piece extensions are designed for quick transformation, usually to add length or volume. You can now also buy curls, with extensions with a permanent wave. Perfect for blending in to your own wavy hair or to add volume and interest to straight hair.

Fringes or ponytails are easily added with specially designed clip in hair extensions. Ponytails are especially fashionable at the moment. They attach in seconds with clips and an invisible comb and a ribbon can be used to make sure no-one will ever see the join.

Clip in hair extensions are very easy to buy and use. If you want to take the DIY approach, then your hair should be fairly long to start with. Working with short hair may require the skills of a professional. Those with very fine hair should also take extra care and consider going to the salon for their extensions.

In the last few years, there has been a huge increase in the popularity of personalised t-shirts specially designed for hen parties. It has become something of the norm and has definitely added to the fun element of organising a hen party. If you’re undecided as to whether to include printed tees into your up and coming hen party, here are a few good reasons as to why you should follow the trend and join in the fun.

1. Personalised t-shirts make people in the group easy to identify.

When a large group of people get together for a hen party, it’s likely that there will be lots of people there that have not met each other before. If the number of people is exceptionally large, it can be extremely difficult to keep track of everyone and ensure that everyone is following the group from venue to venue. Having the entire group wearing a personalised t-shirt will greatly reduce the risk of one of the group members getting lost or separated from the gang. And this is especially important when the serious partying gets started, the t-shirts are the organisers means of identifying the stragglers and rounding them up!

2. Removes the pressure of finding an outfit

Finding the right outfit for a hen night can be tricky. You want to keep your dress code in line with all the other girls and the weeks leading up to the party can be spent stressing over that all-important outfit. Having a personalised t-shirt to wear removes all that stress and worrying in a flash. You then have the peace of mind that everyone will be wearing the same top as you, all you have to do is find a nice skirt or pair of trousers to match your t-shirt.

3. Creates a group spirit and camaraderie

We are all social animals when it comes down to it and wearing matching t-shirts only reinforces the sense of belonging to a group that is out to celebrate and have a good time. They can create an atmosphere of team spirit and will be a great ice-breaker between people in the group that have never met before.

4. They can give other people an explanation as to why you’re full of high spirits on the night!

It’s no secret that a group of girls together on a night out can get quite loud and can stand from the crowd very easily. By wearing a t-shirt that clearly indicates that ye are on a “hen night” gives people an explanation for your wild antics at a quick glance. That way they might be more likely to forgive you for the wildness!

5. They are a good way of making the bride stand out and get more attention

In normal circumstances, the brides t-shirt will differ from that of the rest of the group. They may have a different colour and design which will help them to stand out whilst still feeling part of the group.

6. Hen party t-shirts make a great memento from the night

If the t-shirt survives the night out, they make a great memento for those that attended. They can make great conversation points and memory recollections in the years following the big event. 

Personalised T-shirts can make all the difference to a hen night. One thing is for sure, the hen and her group will most certainly stand out from the crowd!

Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a ‘just because’ purchase for yourself, it’s undeniable that jewellery remains one of the most desirable categories when it comes to coveted items. When thought has been put into a jewellery gift, it can make the recipient feel truly special. However, when a mass-produced piece of bling is picked up, it can have the opposite effect. If you want to show someone how much you care with jewellery, what should you do?

The most important thing you should do is to think about their personality and lifestyle. Are they naturally dramatic and vibrant and at a different party every night? If so, some extravagant costume jewellery dripping with gemstones might be ideal. If they are reserved and more conservative in their tastes, think about something more subtle and discreet.

Secondly, what type of metal do they wear? Lots of people have a strong preference for gold or silver, and many people stick religiously to one or the other. No matter how gorgeous your gold earrings are, they just won’t be worn if the recipient exclusively opts for silver. The same applies to stones: that ruby pendant might look impressive in the shop, but if the person you’re giving it to never wears red, it won’t have quite the impact you expected.

Engraving is a popular way to customise jewellery which works just as well for male and female pieces. Popular options are names, initials, important dates and meaningful quotes which have relevance to both the giver and the receiver. For example, dog tags engraved with the recipient’s name can make a great gift for men, while an engagement ring with a secret message engraved on the inside is a thoughtful way to make the ring extra special.

Another way to make a piece entirely unique is by creating a piece of bespoke fingerprint jewellery. If you want your partner to carry around a part of you wherever they go, you can get your fingerprint etched onto a piece of metal and worked into an elegant jewellery design. These can also be created for children, so that the fingerprint of a little one can be crafted into a beautiful piece of jewellery for a grandparent or godparent.

Jewellery isn’t all about the cost. One diamond ring may cost ten times the amount of another, but the true value comes from the time spent by the buyer trying to find something perfect for the person it is for. If it suits their tastes perfectly and resembles something they will be happy to wear every day, you have succeeded in finding the ideal jewellery gift.

Every woman loves them and it's no secret why they trend: A good coat will make any woman look amazing regardless of their body shape. It doesn't matter about the weather, the actual coat colour, material or time of day. If a coat looks and fits well on a woman, then she will look amazing every time it's worn. Here are a few tips to finding a trendy woman's coat that will get you through more than one winter.

Firstly consider what type of clothes you intend on wearing under your coat and what occasion you require it for. The good news is classic, comfortable and classy coats will always trend and provide you with a lot of wear. You want something that is warm and you can snuggle up to like a three-quarter coat. They're great for women who love to wear short skirts, minis and dresses coupled with pretty tights.

Everyone wants to look good so there are a number of choices available when it comes to fashion styles. Fashion tends to change from one season to the next, so you may find that certain things have fallen out of fashion within the space of a few months. This is nothing to worry about, of course, but a lot of people like to create their own look by browsing through what is currently available. What you will need to do is have a look at the luxury designer fashion choices that are available in order to come up with something that is unique. For those who like to pave the way, you can even take older fashions and see where this leads you.

Fashion Blogs

If you want to keep up to date with what is hot, then it is a good idea to follow a few fashion blogs. This will of course depend on where you live, as each state is going to have slightly differing variations. The weather is going to be a huge influence on fashion, so it is a good idea to keep an eye on several blogs. This will ensure that you have a better picture of what is going on across the entire United States. It will ensure that you are aware of what is going on.

Leather, knits, blacks and browns are for me the quintessential pieces and colors for fall and winter. Clearly this Kasia Struss collection wasn't short of it. In fact, her collection boost a lot of pieces that I would wear myself. My favorite has to be the shift black dress and the knit top with the leather skirt. What is your favorite?

Sometimes a random night can lead to so many things; a new found friendship, a new found love. Sometimes all it takes is a simple exchange of glances and for some, it's about giving that person a chance. That night has lead you to me.

Our eyes meet amidst the loud music and constant movement of people. It wasn't like anything. The moment you approached me, I knew you were different. We danced and I just let the music move me. Before I know it, I was in your arms the entire night.

I admit, a lot of times I can be feminine. Too feminine. I'm the type of girl that prefers to wear skirts and dress over trousers and shorts. I just like being girly and I don't have a lot of boyish side in me. Though I don't wear such, I still have a keen appreciation to those ladies who can pull off an oxford shoes and tailored shorts. As you can see, I picked up a good mixture of feminine and masculine pieces that you can wear all year round. 

Hardly do I see Alexander Wang use colors in any of this collection. He is more known to use black and greys and seeing how he injects a pop of pink and green into his collection was a pleasant surprise. 

I've always been into contrasting combinations such as hard and soft, dark and bright. For me it gives the look a much needed balance that is pleasing to the eye. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't go for anything monochromatic. It's more of a personal preference.

After seeing his collection, I came to love Alexander Wang even more. Knowing that he deviates away from his darker side so to speak only shows how he can open himself up to changes and new innovation.
