Israel Myers founded London Fog in 1923 in his native Maryland, not England. The company supplied the U.S. Navy with waterproof overcoats during World War II, and by 1950, the company was also selling women's raincoats. In the 1970s, it introduced lines of accessories that eventually included luggage and handbags. Fact met fiction for London Fog in 2010, when the company was named as a client of the ad agency Sterling Cooper in the TV show "Mad Men" and subsequently hired one of the show's smoking hot stars, Christina Hendricks, as its real-live spokeswoman. The best London Fog bag for you depends on the occasion, and the company has one for just about every time and place a girl might find herself in.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hipster-loafers/ Sun, 15 Apr 2012 16:34:51 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/hipster-loafers/
The sometimes fashionably-enigmatic hipster manages to combine chic and unconventional clothing with seemingly little effort. Known for their skinny slacks, shabby-chic hair and retro-inspired footwear, celebrity hipsters include the likes of Alexa Chung, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Moss. Their footwear tends to be just as unconventional -- the loafer being one of many in the hipster arsenal. Modern varieties include everything from patent leather to platform hybrids.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/cut-dress-tunic/ Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:57:47 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/cut-dress-tunic/
If your style leans more toward pants than dresses, or if you simply want to give a fave dress fresh life, you can transform that dress into a tunic.

So raid your closet for a dress you can take from ho-hum to hot, by cutting it into a tunic. Wear your tunic with leggings or slim jeans for a fashion-forward style.]]> http://www.typef.com/video/apply-black-eye-shadow-women/ Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:39:00 -0700 http://www.typef.com/video/apply-black-eye-shadow-women/

Texture can help make a dress or fabric go from drab to fab. Adding texture can come in the form of adding or subtracting color or creating visual depth, like an artist coating a blank canvas with paint. When adding texture to fabric, remember that moderation is key -- too much body or depth can make a dress look tacky.]]> http://www.typef.com/featured-videos/signature-series/choose-spring-colors-fair-skin-2/ Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:34:00 -0700 http://www.typef.com/featured-videos/signature-series/choose-spring-colors-fair-skin-2/

When cared for properly, your leather items can last decades. The key to cleaning and conditioning leather is remembering that it is like delicate skin. As leather ages, it becomes more susceptible to oils, dirt and UV damage because it naturally loses moisture. To help this material retain its beauty, you have to clean and condition it with the right products. The best leather cleaners and conditioners are pH balanced.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/alternatives-silk-hot-humid-weather/ Sun, 11 Mar 2012 23:29:04 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/alternatives-silk-hot-humid-weather/
What is the one thing that can ruin any outfit? Sweat! It’s natural and it cools your body down in hot and humid weather, but unless you’re burning calories at the gym, it’s not something you want people to see you do. When the weather heats up and the humidity is palpable, you’ve got to pick your fabrics wisely. Silk is a staple summer fabric because it’s light and airy, but it’s not your only option. For a versatile summer wardrobe, pick fabrics that sizzle on the outside, but keep you cool on the inside.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/minimize-clutch-wear/ Tue, 06 Mar 2012 12:00:20 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/minimize-clutch-wear/
Handbags -- no matter the shape or size -- truly are the perfect marriage of style and utility, fashion and function. Just the right bag can go a long way to define your style, yet keeps everything you need in arm’s reach. But almost any clutch can start to show signs of wear with time, especially when it’s a favorite.

There’s no stopping the rise in popularity of the midi skirt. Defined as a skirt that hits below the knee, midi skirts, including tea-length A-lines, body-hugging pencil skirts or floucy accordion styles, have infiltrated stores for spring. And judging by Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week shows from designers such as Marc Jacobs, Rodarte and Tory Burch, they’re going to be here for a while.

“The 70s are big for spring and this is part of it,” says Sydne Summer, a stylist and blogger in Los Angeles, speaking of the trend that also steals from 1950s bridal gowns and 1960s chic. “The longer hemlines are continuing for fall. It’s more sophisticated and not in-your-face. It’s a little more subtle sexy. ”]]> http://www.typef.com/article/outsize-undies/ Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:17:08 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/outsize-undies/
In 2009, the average-size woman in the United States was a size 14 with a 36DD bust, which is certainly larger than a Victoria’s Secret model, notes a "Los Angeles Times" article.. Finding pretty underwear for even these average size women can be challenging enough, but it's even trickier for women who are larger than average. They need to find comfortable underwear that supports their bodies but doesn’t pinch or create lines under clothing. The underwear also needs to be something that doesn't resemble a parachute harness.

All is not lost for larger ladies. Underwear experts say there are plenty of options for women who are more curvy than straight.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/yourself-suede-shoe-repair/ Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:50:44 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/yourself-suede-shoe-repair/
Feeling blue without your trusty suede shoes? A stunning suede kick can stay a stylista's staple shoe for years, so long as it remains in good condition. Unfortunately, suede doesn't always survive the test of time, even with pre-emptive water- and stain-proofing. A once-pretty pair may quickly show signs of scuffing, stains and water damage, or even unsightly tears that knock them out of the style running completely. However, a girl can still bring her fab footwear back to life with a little DIY action.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-bustle-empire-waist-gown/ Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:10:45 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/can-bustle-empire-waist-gown/ http://www.typef.com/article/womens-sport-shorts-side-panels-front-pockets/ Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:40:21 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/womens-sport-shorts-side-panels-front-pockets/
As a woman, choosing sports apparel can be tough. You want your athletic shorts to last through the pull of a good workout, but you also want to look cute while you sweat. It's possible to have the best of both worlds, and it's not about buying the most expensive brand.

If your favorite pair of Levi's jeans, which have been on the market since 1873, are more than 25 years old, they're considered "vintage." You may find it hard to part with your old, broken-in jeans because not only are they comfortable, they're stylish, too. While new jeans may feature darker washes, old ones look fashion-forward with faded finishes, time-worn details and retro touches.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/make-rose-stem-hairstyle/ Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:14:25 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/make-rose-stem-hairstyle/

None of us is made exactly the same. We don’t emerge into adulthood as though we were shaped by a cookie cutter. Unfortunately, while clothing manufacturers seem to ignore certain body shapes -- small-busted, athletic or well-endowed women, for example -- embracing and accepting our natural shapes is easier if we have clothes that flatter our bodies.

It can be difficult to know which panty shape, padded bra or supportive shape wear will best suit you. But with good advice and some shopping around, you can find the right lingerie for your type of figure and feel fabulous about your shape.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/good-comfortable-shoes-narrow-sizes/ Fri, 17 Feb 2012 10:39:27 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/good-comfortable-shoes-narrow-sizes/
