Denim is such a terrific fabric - it's hella durable, interesting to see, feels really great against your skin, is warm in the cool and cool in the warm, and it just gets better and better looking with age - and speaking of age, Denim is one of those fantastic looks that just never seems to go out of fashion, so it's a fabulous bargain at most any price! The trick with a Denim Dress is to know how to wear and accessorize it. You can be one of the bold and beautiful and take your chances with glamming it up (good luck and GOOD FOR YOU!) but the personality of Denim usually lends itself toward a more casual approach. Fashion Paradise has created just such an ensemble that smacks of the easy breeze of the Denim look and how to do it with your usual beauty, grace and so much style. 

You're a Denim Darlin' and you do it so well!

Mmmmm, a delicious time at home in your comfy-shmumfies - a true taste of the cozy life of luxury. So you've finally seen the light and decided to take a day (or maybe two) of wonderful recharge and doing whatever you never seem to have the time to do ... like reading that book you've been dying to get to ... giving yourself that much needed facial ... or just lounging in front of an old movie and eating figs all day - the beautiful thing is that it's all your choice.

A relaxing day hanging out with your Gal-Pals is just the best! It's amazing how you can always find so much to talk about ... to laugh about. And who really understands you better then them? You can learn more about yourself just listening to their stories then at any other time. That's called "friendship" and it's a true zone of comfort. So be in that zone right down to the clothes you wear - ready to sit, stand or lie on your side, propped on your elbow and prepared to roll over with laughter ... but look good doing it, because they deserve it ... and so do you. Today's outfit is all about comfort, ease of movement and the respect of looking great for those you love, and those who love you.

Such a beautiful, neutral color, sand is. It reminds one of the desert - the hot summer sun blazing down on the endless yellow-white hue. Or that striking color variance between the blue-green foamy waters of the ocean and the glistening tan of the beaches that gather those waters in, only to cast them away again. The color sand brings out the golden tones in your skin, adding to your own natural glow. It carries itself in richness, needing very little, if any, accessorizing, all the while accentuating the jeweled tones of your gorgeous eyes. We recommend it as you see it here - a monochromatic look - simple ... sophisticated ... ripe with invitation, imagination and so much savvy.

Ah, the Earth Tones: Muted tones meant to emulate the natural colors in soil, rocks, trees and moss. The idea behind Earth Tones, beside the fact that they do bring out beautiful features on everyone, is to cause one to relax and remember that which is so wonderful about nature - so when you think about it, it's kind your fashionable gift of nature to all those that are lucky enough to see you ... (you're always such a giver!) The way to wear your Earth Tones to their greatest effect is to keep the look natural, easy, and to stay within the confines of that which appears as if it came from the earth. Never mix, accessorize or make-up with anything too glam or over the top. Simplicity is the key. The idea is to feature your own natural beauty as nature intended.

Present Holiday season included, we, at Fashion Paradise, can't think of any time when Red isn't the perfect color to feature. In terms of symbolism, Red is the color of fire, passion, love, lust and all things "hot and heavy". In many cultures, Red has deep spiritual as well as political meanings. In nature, Red is the most eye-catching of colors denoting ripeness, fertility and absolute beauty. There are so many ways to feature this bold and beautiful color ... and we fully intend to in the future months, but for now, we are more than satisfied with today's selections - a sporty, girly, clean-cut way to feature this flattering, attention-getting, you-go-girl color.

Started by Ennio Capasa in 1986, Costume National came with a vision to "..find a new silhouette for the 90's." The company has been noted as heralding the "New Italian Design Movement" and from it's effect on Italian Fashion (which translates into World Fashion) today, we'd say the effect has been very affective. Costume National strives for a look that hugs the body beautifully and allows the subtle, natural draping of the fabrics and the dramatic tailoring and lines of it's gorgeous woolens, silks, leathers, knits and denims to be the main feature . In the more than 20 years since its' inception, Costume National has come to be a big favorite amongst celebrity names such as M Jovovich, H Swank, The "TomKat's" and "The Rolling Stones." Beyond gorgeous Men, Women and Children's clothing lines, CN is also well known for their very stylish Shoes, Eyewear, Fragrances and Lingerie.
