Fashion Jeans and Myths

Is your figure curvy? Many women envy this body type, yet finding a perfect fitting pair of jeans can be a challenge. As manufacturers' jean sizes can vary, knowing your measurements is the first step so you can give them to the store clerk who will then help you find the perfect size. A pair of jeans that has a stretchy materials should be the kind that you have to look for.

No matter if you ironed this jeans all the time, it will still fit your body. A dark wash is the type that you must choose since this can make you look slim and tall. To look good and feel better about themselves women always like to dress up. The wardrobe must enhance their charm and their physique as well, these are always the things they think before they buy clothes.

When they go shopping, one of the things they want to buy is a pair of jeans. They want the perfect pair of jeans, not just any old jeans, ones that are not only comfortable but will make them look hot. If you don't want to walk around malls for hours on end, my advice to men would be don't go shopping with your partner. Shopping online when buying jeans is great as it only takes a few mouse clicks and then a few days later they are delivered to your door. But shopping personally so you can try on the product and see how they feel can ensure you have no regrets about your purchase.

Jeans with a reasonable price, classy and with the right fit, these are the things that you have to look for in a pair of jeans and if you want to get this, just look in the malls carefully. Buying online is not too bad if you are quite busy. The type of jeans and a woman's shape determines the effects the jeans have. Women will normally try jeans on in a dressing room when shopping.

Many times the incentive to buy jeans can be greatly influenced by the lighting and placement of mirrors. Then when trying them on at home they can appear to look different because of this. Regarding the appearance when being worn, the jeans look more perfect to women than men.

Since there are different body types, women are often baffled in deciding what style of jeans is the best for them. Having a know-how can help a person in finding a good pair of jeans since right now a lot of cuts and styles are available. Low-waist jeanas that go around the hip line or flared jeanas that visually balance the proportion of legs and hips are a great choice for women with wider hips. The straight or skinny jeans often looks great to those who have a slim body type.

You have product, you know market, sell it online. it's easy if you build with shopping cart script. I will tell you how to make it, hope this can be help to make yours online store.

for example you can see at shoppaholicalt.com . an online store selling shoe product, it's have a nice design look and variable module to see, you can build like that one if you track this tutorial, be serious and focus on your business don't spin a wheel of online business, just pick one and focus on it. I believe it can make huge profit for you if you can focus and loyal. So lets get started and finish this thing on short time.

PHP Shopping cart script

First thing we must have to make a website is hosting. These is just practice so you can use free hosting to run it. Use linux free hosting panel this time for our learning ex : unmeteredspace, just sign up and login on cpanel for upload your PHP shopping cart script, those hosting provide great service for host a website and it's free.

Okay, next we must take a domain for the site. You can use sub domain for a while offered by the hosting,but if you ready for real you must have global domain for SEO thing. You can buy domain on several domain hosting site. I recommend use Godaddy So, you have hosting, domain or sub-domain now let's get party started here.. :)

We use open source scipt because the module they offering very usefull for building and improve our site, I'm sorry i don't explain what plus what min of the open source PHP shopping cart script below, I'll explain it on my next lens but don't be sad I'll sort from the best on top ten list I have searched at google. choose the open source PHP script you want download for free on site below :

* prestashop
* opencart
* magentocommerce
* cubecart
* agoracart
* zen-cart
* oscommerce
* storesprite
* tomatocart
* vistacart

my online store shoppaholicalt.com build with opencart, because the module very suitable for running in my lovely country (Indonesia). So we'll use opencart script for sample. Download it, ( I use 1.4.9.1 version ) then unzip to your desktop and don't change anything before we begin.

Open Install.txt to find tutorial about Installing the script. if you can't find it just see the copy below :

-------
INSTALL
-------

1. Upload all the files and folders to your server from the "Upload" folder.
This can be to anywhere of your choice.

e.g. /public_html/store or /public_html

2. If you have a Linux/Unix make sure the following folders and files are writable.
chmod 0755 or 0777 image/
chmod 0755 or 0777 image/cache/
chmod 0755 or 0777 image/data/
chmod 0755 or 0777 system/cache/
chmod 0755 or 0777 system/logs/
chmod 0755 or 0777 download/
chmod 0755 or 0777 config.php
chmod 0755 or 0777 admin/config.php

3. Make sure you have installed a MySQL Database which has a user assigned to it
DO NOT USE YOUR ROOT USERNAME AND ROOT PASSWORD

4. Visit the store homepage

5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

6. Delete the install directory after install is complete.

Now I'll explain you step by step but simple.

On your hosting panel search "MYSQL" link and make the database, you can rename it whatever you want. finish? now click or search a "file manager" link to get through upload page, then see /public_html/ folder. In this folder you must upload all file which you had unzip it and modify the chmod mode as you can see the number at the right page. here is the list you must modify it :

chmod 0755 or 0777 for folder > image/
chmod 0755 or 0777 open folder > image/ then modify it for folder > cache/
chmod 0755 or 0777 same like above (image/data/)
chmod 0755 or 0777 same like above (system/cache/)
chmod 0755 or 0777 same like above (system/logs/)
chmod 0755 or 0777 for folder > download/
chmod 0755 or 0777 search this file > config.php then modify it
chmod 0755 or 0777 open folder > admin/ then modify it for file > config.php

Now open your homepage link, if you use sub-domain from the free hosting site just open that address. next, just following the instruction on your screen it's completely explained about the installation so you can follow up with those guide.

Last thing don't forget to delete your install.txt file on your /public_html folder because if you not remove it someone maybe can reinstall your store and hack it. I almost forgot, you can access your admin page on /admin. Tips for you : I recommend to rename admin folder on /public_html so the others can access your admin page but if you don't want it just make a very strong password to guard it. Hope this simple explanation can help you to provide a great online store.

7 shopping secrets retailers won't tell you

Dec 8, 2011 | fashion lifestyle, lifestyle, Top fashion tips. tips for shopping | 0

Today's retailers have uncovered the science behind shopping. Your favorite mall stores actually hire such retail researchers as Paco Underhill, author of "Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping."
Underhill has tracked hundreds of thousands of shoppers to study how they shop. "There is nothing random about how a store is arranged and designed. It is carefully calculated to appeal to you in every possible way," he says.

"The stores have a plan, so you should, too," says Dave Ramsey, best-selling author of "The Total Money Makeover" and host of a syndicated financial talk show on the radio.

The 'magic' of the display
We can learn a lesson in Underhill's book from a story told by a retailer about a tempting display of T-shirts.
"We buy them in Sri Lanka for $3 each. Then we bring them over here and sew in washing instructions, which are in French and English. Notice we don't say the shirts are made in France. But you can infer that if you like. Then ... we fold them just right on a tasteful tabletop display, and on the wall behind it we hang a huge, gorgeous photograph of a beautiful woman in an exotic locale wearing the shirt."

Resist the urge: "Write a monthly mall shopping budget and stash cash in an envelope specifically for that purpose. When the envelope is empty, stop spending," says Ramsey. "A written budget makes you think twice when you are tempted by impulse buys."

When BOGO and 2-fer deals are good

BOGOs (buy one, get one), two-fers (two for the price of one) and bundled-item promotions successfully tempt you into shopping more often and spending more to raise the store's number of sales as well as ticket averages, or amount of each sale. They're not always a good deal for you if you're not familiar with the store merchandise and its regular prices. "You're not saving if you are actually spending more than you planned," says Underhill.
Resist the urge: "Know your favorite retailers, brands, regular prices, promotions and discounts -- and always check the clearance area first to find a similar item on sale to avoid buying two of anything and spending more," says family financial expert Ellie Kay, author of "The 60-Minute Money Workout."

"Ask yourself, 'Do I really need two sweaters or two of the same jeans?'"

Don't turn right when entering the store

"Retail shopping studies have found that most people turn right when they enter a store. That's because the majority of the population is right-handed and right-oriented," says Underhill.
Knowing this, stores highlight tempting new items and trends to the right of the entrance. You'll find that the music is louder and the displays are brighter to attract you where you will look and turn first. This is also where the most expensive items in the store are generally displayed.

Resist the urge: "Shop with blinders on," says Kay. "Stick to your list with the cash in your hand. Avoid credit card debt at all costs, and head straight to what you came for."

Why clearance items are in the back

The clearance racks are placed in the back of almost every mall store on purpose -- so you'll be tempted by everything else more expensive in your path.
You have to pass all the new trends and displays, all the sales and promotions. Retailers are betting that your hands may be full by the time you reach that clearance area, so you will not be able to stay there and search for the better deals, says Underhill in his book.

Resist the urge: "Head to the clearance area first to find the best deals," says Kay. "This way, you will have a frame of reference for comparing prices of similar items in other parts of the store and will be able to make smarter choices."

Why the clearance area is messy

"It's really hard to conquer the clearance area in some stores because it's actually designed to make you not want to spend time there," says Kay.

Retailers know shoppers want to easily find the size, price and item neatly displayed. So they purposely create the frustration of the poorly marked and poorly organized clearance area to tempt you toward the beautifully displayed and perfectly organized full-price merchandise.

Resist the urge: "Never shop when you are rushed for time," says Kay, "because this leads to making rash decisions." Instead, she advises setting aside time to shop, dig and search for what you truly want, need and can afford from the clearance section.

Beware the small stuff around the registers

Impulse items are tempting goodies such as jewelry, sunglasses, fragrances and magazines that you did not plan to buy. They are displayed purposely near the register. In retail jargon, these are called add-ons (in addition to your main purchase), and they can increase your credit card debt faster than you can say, "Oooooh, pretty!"

Resist the urge: Kay's shopping wisdom is, "Never enter a mall without a specific shopping list. Then, use my 'list test' to justify an off-list purchase with three valid reasons including: paying cash (not credit), a great discount and necessity of the item. Not only will this hassle slow you down until the impulse passes, but you can actually reprogram your mind and habits to shop this way automatically."
