Beyond Jeans - Grab The Hot Denim Trends This Fall
Hard to believe that it's only July and we're already talking about fall clothing lines. As many of you fashionistas know though, many designers have already started rolling our their winter lines. I, for one, can't stand the thought of talking about sweaters and tights quite yet, so we'll ease in to it with a happy medium; denim.
Some top, high-end designers like Kippys, Pierce Jeans, and REOSTARR are flooding the market with their denim wares already, and whether it be jeans, jackets, or purses, it's denim all the way. Some are even doing a throwback to the 80s and rocking out with rhinestones.
Kippys specializes in denim, leather and fur. Again, I have a hard time imagining leather or fur when it's a sweltering 90 degrees outside, but I can stomach denim; plus the awesome belts that go with it. In addition, Hollywood thinks Kippys is pretty hot too; just ask Elizabeth Hurley and Madonna, both of whom have sported their belts.
Rhinestone roses, hearts and celtic chains run across the pockets and legs of some of their jeans. Their belts come in a variety of widths from 1/2 inch wide to 4 1/4 inches wide and are embellished like no others. With crystal colors like Padparadscha, Heliotrope, and Volcano, who can resist this clothing line?
Another hot denim designer, Pierce Jeans, is rocking the simple and sophisticated look that only denim can bring to the casual girl. Carrying denim in dark, dark blues to upbeat reds, Pierce has it all covered. Their fall line includes both the revised, higher waisted jean with the slimming leg as well as the trouser jean that has become so popular. Featured in hot fashion magazines as well as being worn by the likes of Teri Hatcher and Eva Mendez, Pierce Jeans has secured themselves in the hearts of hot Hollywood fashion icons.
REOSTARR is taking another avenue and meeting those with simple and those with rhinestones half way. If their denim isn't plain, it has patches and strategically placed holes. Of course, no pair would be complete without their signature star on their pockets. Whatever they do, Hollywood loves them too! Natalia Livingston was seen wearing them at the "Into the West" premier and have been seen in magazines from Lucky to People.
All across the land, denim is loved by many. These are just a few examples of what some of the high-end denim designers are doing this year and I'm sure that other designers, like Lucky, Levi, and Seven will be sure to follow. While you're out picking up new notebooks and pencils, whether it be for yourself or your kids, pick up a pair of these great jeans and you'll definitely be on top of one of fall's hottest denim trends.

Wholesale Perfume - How to and Methods
I remember trying to buy someone special her favorite perfume but the price almost gave me heart attack. I pondered for awhile if I should break the bank for the gift or find something less expensive. But my research exposed a section of the perfume business that is not well known - wholesale perfume.
Your first action is to locate a wholesale perfume outlet. Check out wholesale perfume and browse through the huge listing of wholesale perfume stores. The two biggest perfumes stores on online are Perfume worldwide located in Plainview, New York with over 6,000 products and Fragrance. net located in Hauppauge, New York with over 10,000 products. You might also find other stores online that offer wholesale prices.
Team Up With Friends and Family
Probably the best way to buy wholesale perfume is to find friends and family members and then team up with them to buy perfumes in bulk since the best wholesale price is for bulk purchase. The more you buy, the more you save.
Another more profitable option is to contact the two listed perfume stores or others you might know that sale at wholesale prices and ask about their Affiliate program. This is the kind of program whereby you get sometimes better than wholesale prices without having to buy in bulk.
Create a business name and contact the two listed stores and inquire about the affiliate program. Now your first sale will be to yourself and your friends and family members. The requirements are not hard to meet and when approved you'll be given access to another section of the stores website to view the below wholesale prices. This can become a very profitable side business if you so desire.
With this method, I was able to buy most fragrances at least 60% off regular price. If you decide to make this a side business, use a markup of at least 20% to 30% above your wholesale price. Trust me, your prices will still be cheaper than most department stores and perfume store retailers. Please watch out for perfumes stores that advertise wholesale prices and are charging you full retail. Also some perfume brands have main distribution points. Those brands will be cheaper at the main wholesale store than any where else.
Be sure to pay attention to the sizes advertised. It is not uncommon to get 4 ounces while expecting 5 ounces. Remember all online perfume stores enlarge their perfume bottles to better reflect on their website. Do you know what perfume you would like and want? Start your search online and you might be shocked at some of the discounts offered. Most online perfume stores can almost give you wholesale perfume prices because of cheaper operating cost.
Pay close attention to the stores return policy and do make sure the store only offers original perfumes. Knock-offs is very common, but the store must let you know and the perfume will not have any brand packaging.
With all the insights and warnings now is the time to take off your shoes, turn on your computer and start your search for that special designer perfume. Now is the time to buy that special designer fragrance for your friend or a lover or just buy for yourself because you feel alive and very happy.
