Gallery Atlantic Reviews the Fall 2012 Color Palette for Women's Fashions

The shades predicted by Pantone will be replicated and incorporated into every major designer's collection and every high street look-book. In addition to the traditional dark and neutral tones the consumers have long associated with Autumn, a cocktail of yellow-green, bright pink, and orange hues have been tossed into the mix.

Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute praised the vibrant new palette: "By playing to consumers' practical side with versatile neutrals, and boosting their confidence with bold, spirited hues, this skillfully balanced palette has something for everyone."

Olympian Blue, an appropriately named hue in light of the Summer women's coats olympics is one of the colors that everyone is talking about and is sure to be seen in both the Fall and Winter collections. Worn with a mellow, sweet Honey Gold, the mature tones of the conservative blue will play well with the muted metal color.

Dark tones of Titanium and French Roast are expected to be utilized in full force, and will provide a welcome respite from the blacks and woolen grays that are typical of Autumn. The plush, coffee inspired French Roast is a special treat,and will be well received as a choice hue for clothing, accessories and fashion jewelry. Brightening up these basic Fall colors are a spring-shade of Bright Chartreuse, a vibrant, floral Pink Flambé - as seen in Abi Ferrin designs, and a deliciously jewel-toned shade of orange, called Tangerine Tango.

Muted, feminine shades are also on the menu for Fall 2012. Cooling, soothing tones are just what the doctor ordered as the summer days are on the wane. Ultramarine Green has a hint of the mountainside, recalling the soft grass of an Oregon campsite. Rhapsody is a divine mix of lush purple and gray, and is a popular choice for designer Nicole Miller in her Fall 2012 line. Finally, a pleasure in pink, Rose Smoke; a soft, dusky color which will feature in Max and Lubov Azria's BCBG. This romantic, sensual tone will likely be seen on women well into next Spring.

When a C Cup Size Isn’t Always a C: Male Doctors and Breast Reductions, Maybe Not the Perfect Match? ILOVEAGOOD.com exposes the truth.

For years women have dreamed of an hourglass figure. They have undergone painful surgery and recovery for vanity; paying hefty sums for larger breasts. But what about all of those women who have dreamed of reducing their breast size? Women have been suffering for decades, and expect breast reduction surgery to be the answer to their prayers. Turns out many women aren't getting the dreamy results they have been hoping for.

Jenny Altman, Style and Intimates Expert for ILOVEAGOOD.com, is used to talking to women about their most intimate secrets. Women nationwide go to her for advice on bra and underwear issues, and often share very personal information with her regarding their breasts. "It's not unusual for me to be sitting at a business lunch when suddenly I learn every woman's cup size at the table. From there, women share secrets about their breast size and shape along with stories related to their very first bras", says Jenny Altman, "It's not uncommon that I learn all about women's breast issues and get a peek at their bra, before ever learning the woman's last name".

Recently, even Jenny was shocked to learn that women undergoing breast reductions are not getting the breasts they are asking for. Women are realizing that the large breasts that have made them physically uncomfortable and caused them to suffer from poor body image through their teen and adult life, are going under the knife to decrease breast size. Unfortunately, when they go to the surgeon and ask for a C, surgeons aren't exactly understanding what these women want.

ILOVEAGOOD.com shares what went wrong with one woman's breast reduction surgery in their feature story "Surgery of the Wrong Size",
http://www.iloveagood.com/the-wrong-cup-size-surgery

"I always knew I wanted to be a "C." As far back as I can remember, it seemed like The Perfect Size. (It just sounds nice, doesn't it?) So before I underwent a breast reduction, I neurotically told my surgeon that I wanted to be a bra cup size "C." I told him in his office, on the phone the evening before the surgery, and even as I was being wheeled into the operating room. When the anesthesia wore off, he woke me up by saying, "You're a perfect C." I was elated. It was a bra miracle!"

Unfortunately, this same woman went to buy bras just a few months later and did not have the same reaction:

"Y women's jackets ou're a 32DD," said the saleswoman, matter-of-factly, winding up her tape measure.

"The blood drained from my face. A lump rose in my throat. Panic took over."

With a growing percentage of the population now averaging a size DD or larger, breast reductions are becoming more common. These women want to be more comfortable in their clothes, and have a better overall body image. They turn to plastic surgery as a last resort after spending years wearing minimizers to look smaller. They literally put their "breasts" into the hands of a surgeon.

Turns out that many women aren't getting the results they paid for. Is it because the plastic surgeons are often male and don't understand a woman's true desire to be less voluptuous? Is it because surgeons haven't been schooled by bra brands as to what cup size actually means in modern times? Jenny Altman says, "A cup size C is not always a C. There is a 32C, 36C, even a 40C. They are all completely different cup sizes under the umbrella of a C. You have to know your band size to accurately know your cup size. This bra thing is a science, and surgeons aren't up to date on the growing features involved in new bra sizes. But women need to know what to ask for, which is more than just a letter."

Simple Closures, the leading designer in San Francisco of a stylish adaptive clothing line for women with physical or cognitive challenges, presents the benefits of adaptive clothing for individuals with difficulty dressing themselves. Individuals facing such challenges may not have the fine motor skills required for fasteners such as zippers and buttons. Adaptive clothing is designed to help retain independence without sacrificing style and convenience.

The Simple Closures line is being promoted based on the convenience of such adapted apparel. Yet, fashion isn't sacrificed. Lynn and Melissa have observed that patients appreciate having the ability to get dressed easier, but don't want to give up style.

This is achieved with tasteful and creative styles and patterns.

From a practical point, adaptive clothing is designed to be more comfortable for the wearer while sitting and decreases the risk of skin irritation from chafing. Velcro closures are especially helpful for arthritic hands and pieces are also designed for easy opening to meet personal needs. The biggest advantage of such clothing, according to Lynn and Melissa, is the increased self-confidence it gives those with dexterity and mobility issues.

The ultimate purpose of adaptive clothing is to retain dignity and instill confidence. Most of the clothing available is made from washable cotton blends. For additional information, please visit Simple Closures online at http://www.simpleclosures.com or call (800) 282-1163.

Improve Conversion Rates - How To Turn Your Visitors Into Customers

Its pretty well documented that the most cost effective way to generate more sales on your website is to convert more of your visitors into buyers. After all, you've done most of the hard work (and probably spent a great deal of money) getting them there in the first place.

Here are our Top Tips that we've learned over the years at http://www.totsplanet.co.uk to increase conversion rates (in no particular order):

1. Homepage - Make an impression; its your shop window

You've only got one chance and a matter of seconds to draw your visitor in; so get it right!

Let's assume that if someone has landed at your store, as a result of your highly targeted marketing campaign they are actually looking for something that you sell.

Half of the work is therefore done - all you now have to do is ensure that they can see that they are in the right place, as soon as they hit your homepage. Here's how:

- Stick to standard navigation practices. Make sure all departments/categories have meaningful names and are clearly visible either in the left hand nav bar or across the top of the site.

- Have a search box prominently displayed - but consider not having one if your range is not that big as you dont want many searches producing n0 results)

- In your main middle section (above the fold) make sure you display clear, descriptive and eye-catching images alongside explanatory text links - arty pictures not related to what you're selling and too many 'more info' or 'view all' links are not interesting to a fleeting eye.

- Display a best sellers list (as by their very nature they will probably be recognized by your visitors).

- Have some sort of link to your Clearance or Bargains page. You can bet that a % of your shoppers will be specifically looking for a deal.

- If there is a seasonal event related to your offer, create a category containing relevant products and link to it from here. Chances are your shoppers are looking for something for this event (e.g. a ''Valentines Gifts" page if you are a lingerie store)

- Don't make the page too busy - i know it sound like a contradiction but this is very important - if you have everything you think you need on the page but the layout is too busy, the visitor will feel under pressure to take it all in and will likely lose interest. Here's a great resource for modern homepage layout design

2. Landing Pages - are also your shop window (but often forgotten)

Although the majority of people will arrive at your homepage, many will arrive at a product or category page - especially as a) you will no doubt be running an effective PPC campaign that links to targeted destination pages, and b) your site is built in such a way that Google has indexed all of your pages and you are top of the search results for the entire long tail of keywords and phrases that relate to your products...

So, now that is established you'll understand the importance of making sure the landing pages follow the same principles as the homepage in gaining the customers attention and their confidence that they have landed at the right place.

- Keywords - as the visitor is likely to have come to this page from some type of search, make sure this page clearly display images of what the search was for and that the keywords or phrase that they used to search for is nice and prominent . It also doesn't hurt to repeat the word/s a 2 or 3 times on the page (but don't over do it)

- Call to Action - again, as the visitor has landed on a product or category page, they are arguably even more likely to make a purchase as their search was probably quite specific. So make sure you have some sort of 'buy' or 'add to basket' button available.

- Route back to the homepage or related items - Bear in mind that a visitor may hit the landing page mistakenly, or may not actually like what they see but are interested in seeing what else is on offer. Always provide clear links back to the homepage and to similar items or related categories.

3. 'Findability' - help customers find what they're looking for

A simple and easy to use navigational structure is important to cater for those visitors who like to browse , not search - but , unless you display a vast list of categories (which I strongly advise against - see Point 1), not every category will contain items for everyone. People naturally have different tastes and criteria. So how do you put the right products in front of them? The answer is in refining and sorting the results to suit the users needs.

This feature is probably best described in pictures and one of my favourite sites to utilize these tools in Bluefly - a US fashion site.

In this example I've visited Bluefly because I'm looking for a black t-shirt. I could search for a black t-shirt but i don't really want to see womens black t-shirts and there is a t-shirts category in the men's section, so i think i'll browse.

In the first screen shot you can see I have selected T-Shirts as the category I'm interested in. There are 6 pages of results; so quite a lot to browse through to get to what i want, and then it may not be available in my size anyway.

This is where the refining tool comes into its own - you can see that i'm able to narrow the displayed results down to my desired size, colour, price and even brand if i'd like. When my results are displayed i can then sort by price, bestsellers or the newest items.

So, back to the point - I've found exactly what I'm looking for in seconds and am now extremely likely to now buy something from here!

4. Product, Product, Product

Scrap everything I've just said!

Well, don't, but hear this. Product, Product, Product - if you don't have the right product to cater for the demand of your target market, you may as well forget it.

I cannot stress enough that is it is the product that makes the sale - not pretty graphics, an easy to use site, or anything else for that matter - if the product stinks, people wont buy it - there, I've said it.

For the sake of carrying on and not pressing 'delete post', I'll assume you have the hottest products in your sector!

5. Something for Everyone - the long tail....

So you've got the hot products (!) and you've got a hot refining tool to quickly get people to what they want - now its time to exp women's jackets and the range. Fill up your store with everything your target market could possibly want. The wider the range, the more likely a visitor will buy something. Its simple really. And this is where the Internet comes into its own. You may have a warehouse with space limitations and overhead costs; I do appreciate that; but its nowhere near the cost and space limitations of a high street store - use this to your advantage and become a one-stop shop for your target market - why should they go anywhere else?

6. Price Competitively

Basic retailing rules still apply - if your not competitive people will go elsewhere - on the Internet your competitor is just a click away. Do your research, and keep it up.

7. Simple checkout - make it easy to buy

So you've given the customers what they want - well done. But it is well documented that this is in fact a waste of time when it comes to at least 1/3 of them (some sources say 70% or more), who abandon their shopping baskets without making a purchase.

Granted, some people just change their mind, but there is undoubtedly a large % who just cant make it through the Checkout process. When reviewing your shopping basket , make sure you:

- Don't hide any extra charges such as Delivery costs or VAT
Provide the customer with a clear indication of where they are in the checkout process

- Give customers the option of not creating an account

- Make it clear that your checkout pages are secure

8. Easy customer & contact information - be available

There are thousands of sites out there. You probably don't have the luxury of being a household brand, so you need to stand out from the crowd as a retailer of quality and integrity.

Be open and honest with your customers. Let them know how to contact you and what all of your policies are, every step of the way. They are far more likely to trust you if you trust them with this information.

9. Accreditation to consumer watchdogs - for peace of mind

On a similar note, a good way to provide peace of mind for your customers - and therefore a greater propensity to buy from you - is to join an industry body and advertise this on your site.

They generally act as a middle man for any dispute that may occur between you and a customer, and provide a code of practice that you must adhere to. The fees to join these (around ??100) are well worth the peace of mind that their logo on your site provides customers.

In the UK I would recommend the IMRG and Safebuy schemes. We at http://www.totsplanet.co.uk are members of these schemes as they provide peace of mind to our customers.

Recommendations From An Architect To Get That Wonderful Dwelling You Dream Of

The art of house improvement is so much more than simply inserting a new sink. It needs a great deal of exploration, lots of hard work, and careful consideration to detail to really make certain that elements look nice and they are securely installed. The tips below will help you strengthen your property improvement skills.

When applying a fresh coat of paint to a textured wall or ceiling, employ a paint roller which has a thick, fluffy nap. These rollers will be far more prone to dripping, so you need to be watchful. Nevertheless, they are essential for ensuring that every nook and cranny of the surface receives some paint.

Having the right lighting in the space can produce a tremendous impact. Having a bright space will feel warm and welcoming to members of the house. The installation of a second light fixture may also serve to brighten a room. By brightening a dark room one will make the over all look and feel of your home enhanced.

Adhesive window films are among the most affordable and very easy-to-install house improvement projects. These films are readily available in distinctive stained-glass patterns, frosted designs, and various other textured designs. Many window adhesive kits include every one of the tools needed for the task and cost much less than twenty dollars per window.

To boost the capacity of your regular bathtub, purchase an overflow drain cover. This product uses suction cups to adhere on the tub, encircling the bathtub's overflow drain which allows you to ultimately create a few more inches of water in the tub for any deep, relaxing soak. You can simply remove the cover up when it is not in use.

Give some thought to your good quality of life ahead of visual aesthetics when starting household enhancements. A pond inside your front yard could be nice, but having your child fall in and drown would be horrifying. You might like to install a desk, but the funds could very well be better invested on installing air conditioning inside a Florida house.

Be certain that your property is properly in women's jackets sulated with the use of weather stripping on your own home's doors and windows. This assists you to eliminate and minimize air leaks and enhances your heating or cooling system's performance. On your efforts, you will benefit from lower electric bills as well as a residence which is cooler in warmer weather and warmer in colder weather.

Think of the expenses of big renovations prior to so that you start saving cash towards them. Demolition to get a 1,500 square foot home will cost you about $6000 to get started on. Replacing a wall can cost about $10 per square foot, and that doesn't even contain the expenses of having plans drafted. Knowing this beforehand will help you figure out if this is a project you really like to take on.

Before performing renovations on your own household, you must make sure you get the permits you need very well ahead of time of the actual renovation project. In case you do not get these permits, then you will not have the ability to carry out your project if the time comes. In the event you are not sure concerning the appropriate permits you need, hire a professional general contractor.

In the event you have more paint remaining over from the recent project, retain it within a glass jar instead of leaving it within the paint can. You are able to immediately tell what the color is with no need of going with the messy ordeal of opening the lid from the paint can.

In the event you possess a broken glass window, it is possible to do this temporary solution to prevent bugs from entering. Employ a little bit of plastic cling wrap over the broken area to close the opening. Secure it with a little bit of tape to create a better seal. It is really a temporary solution and should really not be used long term.

Do you like to enjoy time outdoors but don't like the insects? Consider incorporating a screened enclosure onto your home. It will offer an excellent destination to sit and study, eat meals or invest time with your family, with out simply being subject to nature's pests. Install a ceiling fan for extra comfort.

The art of home improvement is something that may be enjoyed by nearly everybody, but only the really serious will try to enhance their home just like a genuine skilled professional. Now with much more household improvement knowledge to incorporate into your "bag of tricks," you can easily turn out to be a good household improver as well.
