Women's Fashion Blog Has Inside Story

New Blog Gives Inside Story on Women's Fashion

London fashion expert Caryn Franklin's website howtolookgood.com is not only a dedicated women's fashion advice site on body shape, but now includes her new blog, offering a real behind the scenes, no holds barred insight into the UK fashion industry

London, UK - July 27, 2008 -- In her new blog (http://www.howtolookgood.com/blog) Caryn tells it like it is and offers readers the opportunity to sign up and interact with her, by posting comments and receiving feedback and advice on all issues around fashion and how to dress for body shape.

She also flags up her own clothing solutions giving insight into the wardrobe of a 'fashion expert.'

Written with authority (she has spent 25 years in the business and has interviewed everyone from Yves Saint Laurent to Georgio Armani, as well as presenting on numerous TV shows, writing books and contributing to women's magazines) Caryn also writes from an ageless perspective.

As Caryn Franklin says, "Women can love fashion and dress confidently whatever their age, when they understand how to see beyond what commercial fashion offers. I give women tools to create the best wardrobe for their shape, age and lifestyle. And I'm there as a resource on my site. Since our launch in 2001, I have answered many hundreds of questions from readers."

Caryn's main website http://www.howtolookgood.com offers advice and tips on how to be a clever consumer of women's fashion and by signing up to her new blog, subscribers will receive a free e-book on Jeans - giving them all the information they need on shape, fit and brand.

The site also offers women the opportunity to download one of 19 different e-books on

how to dress for your body shape (http://www.howtolookgood.com/advice_home.html), for either their current wardrobe, or when shopping for new clothes.

These comprehensive and practical e-books are designed to provide valuable tips and advice to help women avoid making time consuming and costly mistakes by understanding what to wear and also what to avoid.

As these three testimonials show, Caryn's advice has been crucial:

Good morning,

I just wanted to let you know how absolutely wonderful your e-book has been for me. Until I read it last week I would stand in front of a wardrobe that consisted primarily of black and white, and still be confused about what I should wear. Always feeling out of shape and completely uncomfortable, with no confidence at all in my appearance.

The following day we went out to dinner and might I say, I looked and felt great. I had three comments on how great I was looking. It was all clothing from my existing wardrobe, put together with your rules and it looked great.

I have had my colours and style done before; however no one has ever produced an action plan (what a brilliant idea, particularly the collage). And the cost to have them come into your home and assist is quite expensive.

I cannot thank you enough; you really are the Queen of Style.

Jacqueline

Hi Caryn,

Simply had to put pen to paper, so to speak.

Just read the first 15 pages of your e-book and it addresses my central concern - large and square shoulders. Your diagrams and short to-the-point good for, or bad for remarks, are just what I require. Great, I now know what suits my top half and this will make such a difference to my shopping and confidence.

Many, many thanks. My 4-year search is over.

Kind regards,

Trixie

Thank you for your very helpful and practical e-book. It's the only one I know of with exclusively the right advice for women of my particular shape, and I found it a valuable source of inspiration. I just wish it had been around when I was sixteen. What a lot of heartache (at not being the 'right shape') and shopping headaches I would have avoided, not to mention how much money I could have saved! I've told all my friends about your site. They are all equally enthusiastic.

Kind regards

Aimée

The website also provides information on the current fashion trends to help readers understand what's on offer this season, news from the catwalks, an online shopping directory and a monthly newsletter.

Eating Between The Lines

A Health Diary and Food Journal for the Rest of Us

For women who would like to keep a food diary, exercise log and health journal in two minutes a day or less. The Bio-Diary for Women by FitMinder is an easy-to-use alternative to food and exercise journals that require tedious daily entries. Its unique format offers and useful and beautiful tool to record and analyze health information.

Sacramento, CA, June 25, 2008 -- Keeping a food diary or health journal is highly recommended these days as a way to manage diet and health. But many people are put off by the thought of recording every bite they eat. They are too busy living their lives to spend the day recording it. Now there's an alternative for people who want to track diet, exercise, and health issues, without the tedious detail.

Most food journals and exercise logs are designed for people who are committed to detailed daily tracking of their progress. But what about people who can't commit to that level, but still want the usefulness of a food diary, exercise log, and health journal -- for things like illnesses, medications, sleep problems, allergies, stress, energy level and other health issues? And what if the most time they could commit was a couple of minutes, once a day?

Marie Karner, a Sacramento business owner, has been keeping a health journal for six years, and has designed a simple and effective tool for women who only have time for the big picture. For those whose life speedometer runs in weeks or months -- not hours or days, the Bio-Diary's "quick-scan" format helps manage health info and keep goals in sight.

The Bio-Diary for WomenT uses a simple monthly log book format with columns, and tracks one month at a time, using eight different pages. Two minutes is about all it takes to jot down one day's worth of meals, exercise, health symptoms and other info. The format is flexible and can be customized to suit different needs. Because it provides a snapshot view of months at a glance, it is particularly useful in identifying cause-and-effect relationships, and analyzing patterns and trends. Each month features a diary page for moments when a minute or two of writing is not only therapeutic, but useful as well.

The Bio-Diary for WomenT is available online at Amazon and also at FitMinder Publishing's website at fitminder.com.

Inventors Wanted For Texas Reality TV Show

Reality TV Show Looks for Inventors in Texas

How TV Shows and Internet Sites Help Thousands of Aspiring Inventors Transform their Big Ideas into Reality. Everyday Edisons has announced the casting calls for Season 3, with the next auditions being held at the Dallas Convention Center today, starting at 7am. Internet sites such as IdeaTango help inventors through online resources and community forums.

Dallas, Texas  -  March 16 -- Exactly how can the average person transform a mere sketch on a napkin into a useful product available to the masses? This was the question that Louis Foreman wanted to answer when he created Everyday Edisons, the inventor reality TV show on PBS. After two successful seasons, Everyday Edisons has announced the casting calls for Season 3, with the next auditions being held at the Dallas Convention Center today, starting at 7am.

Inventors are often not aware about the multi-step product development process through which a basic concept is transformed into a marketable product. This is where television shows like Everyday Edisons or websites like Dallas-based IdeaTango.com come into the picture.

Whereas some are able to take their ideas to the masses through TV reality shows, many more can interact through IdeaTango features like a virtual trade show, a yellow pages for service providers, community forums, and most importantly, educational guides to help inventors launch their million-dollar idea.

IdeaTango.com president and founder Bryan Daigle says, "It's great to see how Everyday Edisons is helping the independent inventors and bringing so many brilliant ideas into the market." "As thousands of inventors line up across the country for a shot at big time, we're also meeting many of these inventors along the way, helping them to turn their dreams into reality."

The Everyday Edisons show will be looking at a range of inventions, and also at those in various states of development, from simple concepts and sketched ideas to detailed, patented designs and factory prototypes. The finished products will also be reviewed by representatives from the major retailers.

In addition to the casting call, there will also be a series of seminars and an opportunity to meet with experts from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Everyday Edisons is produced with the cooperation of the United States Patent & Trademark Office, and like IdeaTango, hopes to propel thousands of local inventors into the spotlight.

About Everyday Edisons
Everyday Edisons is a reality TV show that airs on PBS, and follows inventors as they go from idea to product. The show's producers and industry experts work with all the contestants, helping them to succeed in the development and marketing of their inventions. Everyday Edisons is a production of Bouncing Brain Productions.

For more information about Everyday Edisons, visit www.everydayedisons.com

About IdeaTango.com
As seen on The Big Idea with Donnie Deutsch, local and national news stations across the country, and one of the largest technology blogs, Gizmodo, Dallas-based IdeaTango.com is a one-of-a-kind social networking site specifically created to help inventors act on their great ideas. This "ingenuity community" provides inventors interactive, collaborative, and educational tools to help inventors connect with valuable resources, and one another. IdeaTango is also the winner of the Rice Alliance 2007 "Most Promising" Web 2.0 Company award.
