T h e F a s h i o n F a i r

Every year in Razgrad we have two fashion fairs - one in September and one in January. This year's spring fair took place in "Ludogoretz" Hall from 22nd to 27th Jan. There was a great lottery and you could participate with anything you bought. The prize is an iron. Yeah!!!
Everyone goes there with great expectations. The fair offers a lot of stuff from candies to bags, boots, clothes and jewelry, even key-rings. The whole thing calls on my mind the cool old fairs of clothes where you can find everything on symbolic prices. And probably from the get going the idea was like this. Unfortunately, for the past 5 years it has been ruined just the exact same way that happens with every good idea here.
The truth is that every year the wares are almost like the last year. They are supposed to be made by Bulgarian companies. But on the clothes labels it's written Made in China or Made in other country that it's not Bulgaria. So the whole purpose of showing Bulgarian products is stultified. It's cheap, but sometimes, surprisingly, some needle-works tear after a few hours of wearing:)
But, I can deny that, the jewelry is awesome. The first thing that u see when u enter there is a wall of all types of necklaces, collars, pendants, bracelets, earrings and so on. They are like too much, so there's no way to separate them and choose only one. There is also a stand for jewelry covered with 18-carat gold:)
The only animal things are coats and undies. For every Little Miss Sunshine is the kid fashion stall, and for men is an enormous variety of sweaters.
Basically, it's A BIG EVENT in our small town, so it won't be a mistake just to go and see it.

The Animal In/On Us

Ok, we found the best sweaters, we checked these gorgeous expensive bags in Posseidon. What's next? Oh yeah...boots. The animal theme rules them all. U can have leopard's and tiger's paws on ur feet, or maybe zebra's hoofs, or some kind of snake's tail. Ankle, mid-calf, and knee-high boots can all be found with fluffy collars this winter. From faux fur to shearling, and lots of fluff to bits of fluff, it's definitely the season for luxurious trim. I went to Russe recently and in every shop that I entered I felt like being in jungle. I almost expected these clothes and shoes to move and attack me. Here are some tips how to pacify the beast on your feet:

1) If u wanna be able to follow the mania of putting your jeans into your boots always buy boots with a (:blank:) space between them and your calf.

2) It may sound strange but somewhere I read that a girl couldn't understand how to do it right. The jeans always pulled out from her shoes and she was too embarrassed to ask her friends for advice. In her desperation she asked the magazine for help. But what they answered was quite pointless so here is the best way: if you have problems like hers' you should put your jeans into your socks. If u have a pair of ankle-leggings it will be great. If the leggings are over the boots - this will be even cooler. It's now beginning in Bg, but in America or other countries girls have already realised that if you wanna be fashionable u have to be very creative in picking clothes. Don't go to buy expensive things when ur grandma can make them for you. In this way u can exam ur brains for its level of providing new, fresh ideas and the most important - ur clothes will be unique.

3) Don't forget that this fur fashion imposes a deep obligation upon you. If your jacket is on zebra themes, your bag - on dalmatian, and finally your shoes are snakes - this is not working. At all. Choose one animal and be it:)

But what happens when u don't have enough money to buy the gor-gor-gorgeous boots in leopard color u saw yesterday on your best friend's feet? You become green from jealousy and safe your daily money till the summer to afford to get a pair. But it's summer. And next winter fashion's changed. So what do u do? U go to the shops for Chinese clothes. Don't think "I can't buy this - it's Chinese. It'll be out in the rubbish in 2 weeks." It's better to buy 3 different pairs of shoes on the price of one, isn't it? These shops r 4 everyone. The items are cheap and various. Have u wondered why they r always full of people. When I went to "Dessie" and "Fenix" (they're like the best in Rz) I could hardly have my photos done. With a little help of your imagination this 20-leva pair of footwear can be just like the desirable one:

P.S. Watch Step up! It's the latest dance movie. This girl there knows how to combine clothes. U can steal her (or her stylist's) ideas without any compunction:
