Denim skirts continue to be popular this season. A perennial fabric, the durable nature of denim ensures that the skirt keeps its shape and fit despite being worn repeatedly. Brought into the limelight with the recent Bollywood film 'Salaam Namaste' where actress Preity Zinta flaunts her Von Dutch denim mini teamed with a red tank top, a denim skirt has and always will be a basic summer item while a longer, slim denim skirt is preferable in winter.
Owing to its versatile nature, denim skirts are a staple in every woman's wardrobe, be it a mini that would look great with a sweater and strappy sandals, a sporty pleated skirt that is generally teamed with a tank top and sneakers, or a bohemian rocker chick version studded with crystals. Long denim skirts with a slim silhouette look sophisticated yet casual with a bright sweater and pumps or alternatively, could be worn with high heels to dress up the look.
Far from being restricted to street fashion, denim is making its presence felt in the world of haute couture.
Marc Jacobs recently showcased his line of stretch denim A-line skirts with zipper pockets at front and single button closure. According to him, there's nothing like a classically urban denim skirt to get an indecisive girl through any don't-know-what-to-wear days. Designer Miuccia Prada turned denim inside out for strapless dresses worn over T-shirts in her latest collection while earlier this year, D-Squared combined denim with suede leather in a collection based on rodeo chic.
Make sure you consider your body type when choosing the length of your denim skirt, though. While denim minis flatter slim figures, a pencil-length skirt paired with a soft, feminine top is a great elegant option for those blessed with fuller figures..

Tennis Skirts
If you are not that keen on wearing the ubiquitous mini skirt that is being forecasted as a sure-fire fashion staple for Spring 2006, summon up your inner athlete and go with a short, pleated tennis-inspired skirt made of comfortable, wearable sweatshirt fabric instead. This fashion-forward key constituent of the preppy trend will make you look sporty chic when a casual look is in the cards.
The 'tennis whites' look, however, is pass?. The flirty, pleated white skirt may be considered a classic in the strictest tennis circles but you could alternatively add a little punch to your sporty wardrobe by going in for some interesting fashion variations. Tennis skirts are now available in a variety of sporty colors, silhouettes and cuts, and look fabulous in soft and vibrant hues like peach, aqua, olive green and ruby red.

The Joke that is Golf
Okay firstly, it's not golf which vexes me, its the people behind the scenes. How they can condone women playing in a men's tournament is beyond me e.g. Michelle Wie! This is not a sexist rant, why should women be able to play in men's tournaments? If it's a men's tournament, then surely it's for men only, if women want to play with men, they should play in a mixed tournament! If women can play in men's tournaments, why can't men put on a skirt and compete in the women's tournament, its ludicrous! On the surface it appears to be sexist, sexist against men that is, as this is clearly unfair and ridiculous. It's like women competing in the men's 400m at the Olympic Games. It just isn't right, my beliefs is that in sport where men have a clear physical advantage, then they should keep the sexes in separate competitions.
To me it seems like common sense. Who knows what the R&A are thinking!.

What are they?
Clothes hangers.The clothes hanger was invented in Connecticut by a man named O.
A. North in 1903, and the world of clothing storage would never be the same.
Now, more than 100 years later, there are literally hundreds of different styles of clothes hangers, but still never one around when you need it. The clothes hanger is one of the most important sales tools in your store, said Nu-Era Marketing Director Chris Weis.
Before a customer decides to try something on, they have to be enticed by the way it looks on the rack.
Thats where the hanger comes in.Nu-era specializes in wholesale retail supply from their website www.nu-era.com,

Where do you find that perfect mini skirt that you can afford? Finding any article of clothing can be a challenge, especially if, like me, you need it at a reasonable price. It may seem like a mini skirt is one of those things you can just find anywhere, but believe me, that is not necessarily the case when it comes to finding one at a good price. I have found, though, that there are three places you should look before you make that final purchase. For that perfect and affordable mini skirt, check online, in a department store, and in the second hand store.
The first place to look for mini skirt would be on the internet. Many department stores and clothing retailers have websites that offer mini skirts for sale.

There's always that one girl who stands out in the crowd.
We all know her. We envy her.
We all want to be her.
She's the one who has guys lining up to buy her a drink and never has to stand alone.We all want to be this woman but how?
It's simple.
We've already heard the clich? term "beauty comes from within" but the beauty within won't get you that hot guy to notice you.So now, we are faced with a challenge.
What attracts guys?
Why do almost all guys drool over Angelina Jolie, but just think that Jennifer Garnier is "cute?"
We've all seen Carmen Electra, Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards and wonder what is it about these women?? It's simple. All you need is that one dress that's short but not too short.
Thatreveals a little but leaves the rest to the imagination.
