Be A Smart Shopper!!
Spring is coming and we are sure all you girlies are looking forward to shop- shop -- and shop!! And which is why it’s important to be a smart shopper — someone who knows how to budget, save money and still look fabulous. If you’re looking for ideas on how to make the most of your money the next time you go shopping, here are few tips to help you out:
1. Set a budget-
Limiting how much you spend on clothing is not only good for your wallet, but will prevent you from making frivolous purchases.
2. Buy what you need, not what you want-
Before you purchase something, ask yourself if you truly need the item or it’s just something you want to buy. Every few months, look through your closet and make a list of items that you need — like wardrobe staples — so you can easily differentiate your needs from your wants.
3. Choose quality over quantity-
Always opt to buy higher quality items over cheaply made clothing. Even though high-quality items are more expensive, they will end up lasting much longer.
Additionally, learn how to calculate the cost-per-wear of clothing before you buy. You can do this by dividing the price of the item by the number of times you expect to wear it.
4. Buy what fits-
This may seem like a no-brainer, but buying clothes that fit well is an important part of shopping wisely. Although it seems like a hassle, it’s crucial to try on clothes before you buy them. In the dressing room, make sure to move around (i.e. sit down, lift your arms) to ensure that the clothes fit properly. If the item is uncomfortable in the fitting room, it won’t be comfortable at home.
Also, remember to buy clothes that fit you now, not clothes that will fit once you “lose five pounds.” :P

Take care of woolen clothes
Unlike other garments, woolen clothes need special care as these are more delicate. With proper care wool clothing can look great for years. We have got some easy tips for you that you can practice at home and preserve the natural quality of your woolens:-
1. Brush up the coats and jackets gently before and after using them to avoid any bacteria breeding on them.
2. If possible then store all the woolen clothes after dry-cleaning or sun dry them before stacking them for the next season.
3. Fold and then store heavy sweaters instead of hanging them.
4. Always use luke warm water and a mild detergent to wash your woolen clothes.
5. Use a small razor to cut the balls from the wool.
6. Never ever bleach woolen clothes.
7. Avoid continuous wearing of same woolens, wear them after a gap of atleast two days as it takes times for woolen clothes to regain its original shape.
8. Hang wool garments in a steamy bathroom after wearing or unpacking. Moisture from the steam will remove wrinkles.
9. Dry them in shade otherwise they will either lose out their color or shape.
10. If woolens are of fur, then first use wet cloth for cleaning then do usual washing.
11. Look properly that there should no strain on the clothes before storing. Wrap the naphthalene balls in a piece of clothes and keep it between the woolen clothes or can use neem leaves.

Fashion Trend Alert 2012 !
What January would be complete without the requisite what's hot list? Here's ours for 2012
1
Sequins - I KNOW this is considered as a 'holiday trend' and it 'can't be touched now that the holidays are over', Since you're wearing a very loud piece, choose either neutral tops or tops in the same color as your sequined piece. There's your ideal day look!
2
Big Long Earings - I know that the 1960′s have been trending for several seasons now, but big earrings haven’t seen the light of day since the 1980′s. But guess what they are back in fashion ..
3
Wet hair look - This “wet hair” look is just one of many trends on the horizon for spring and one of my least favorites. To achieve this look, your wet hair strands are infused with styling gel and then styled plainly to give the appearance of having just stepped out of the shower.
4
Headscarf - We may see less of turbans in 2012 and more headscarves.
5
Mini Bags - Have you noticed that there are more and more small bags in stores? It's no coincidence, the mini bag is back and stronger than ever. It's time to put your oversized hobos in the closet and pick up a small stylish mini bag.
6
Loud Colours - or for those who are tired of the winter doldrums and need some excitement back in your life! One of this springs biggest trends is bold color. Vibrant hues of pink, orange, red and purple were popping up on almost all the runways.

Fashion tips for skinny girls!!
Skinny is In, but it has some disadvantages as well like ‘dressing up appropriately’. For the girls who are lean/skinny these tips maybe helpful in the process of selecting clothes.
1. Beware of garments with vertical stripes and patterns, for you will look even thinner than you are.
2. Keep the very skinny parts under wraps. Cover your throat with a scarf, choker, high cowl neck or long hair. But steer clear of prissy bows and ruffles.
3. Avoid wearing bare, short and clinging clothes.
4. Avoid very wide skirts in plenty of pleats and gathers. You’ll look scruffy and old-fashioned. Choose more modern flared designs, skirts with accordion pleats, etc.
5. Don’t wear heavy shoes. They’ll make your legs look even thinner.
6. Don’t wear heels. If you do, select shorter ones.
Prefer boots as they camouflage skinny legs under skirts.
7. Prefer suits to dresses or attires including skirts and blouses or sweaters. If you choose to wear a dress pay attention to the one with horizontal stripes, seams, etc.
8. Long and sharp necklines are not for you.
9. Prefer wearing horizontally striped designs and patterns.
10. Minimize use of padding on your shoulders.
11. Try to avoid wearing solid color even if it is your favorite.
12. Create the illusion of fullness and softness. In summer when your thinness is the most seen wear soft, fluffy fabrics.
13. Dress in layers, they add interest and disguise thinness.
Hope these tips will be helpful for all the skinny girls out there, And dont forget to check out the right clothes for your wardrobe from a Madame store http://www.madameonline.com/home near you! Madame- Be everyone you are

Woolen clothes are sometimes seen as a sheath under which fashionable gowns and tops get hidden. While you are planning on what to wear in this New Years, Read On to find out how to make your boring woolens…Fashionable and more useful!!
1.Ponchos: This is a really cool resurrection (from the wild barbarian times) in the field of fashion clothes for winter. This flimsy bag looks very delicately feminine on shimmering gowns.
2. Off Shoulders Woolen Blouses: This is the pick of the woolen clothes for this season. You wear it like a sweater but it falls just off your shoulders and stops right under your bust. Prop it up with a woolen muffler.
3. Woolen Jackets: Winter jackets made out of wool have a definite advantage over normal sweaters or jumpers because they look smarter and more contemporary although the purpose is the same.
4. Types Of Wool: Experimenting with the texture of wool you wear can sometimes give you really fashionable options. You need not always wear fine cashmere wool; knobby coarse texture is very in these days for shawls, sweaters and shrugs.
5. Woolen Dresses: Who said wool could be used only to make sweaters? Perfectly knit fine woolen dresses that fall just above your knees look very chic. You can cover your dainty legs with warm stockings to make it a complete winter ensemble.
6. Woolen Tunics: Wear it with tight fitting contrast slacks, a tweed cap and a flowing scarf to look like the perfect imitation French girl in town!!

Recycle Your Wardrobe
Recycling things is always fun ,,, have you ever tried recycling your wardrobe !! Who knows you might find/make something interesting. You don’t have to a be celebrity, a fashion designer or the editor of a fashion magazine to be able to rock-chic fashions. We will tell you few tricks to recycle your wardrobe right here only at Madame fashion Blog !!
1. Raid Your Mom’s Closet:-
Raiding your mom's closet is always a good idea for old saris, bags, pieces of jewellery and sunglasses. You can make a silk or zari jackets or use an old beaten leather bag that looks gorgeous with almost any attire. Remember the saying old is gold, it’s not just a phrase for fashion it’s the truth.
2. Same clothes, different way
Don't wear your clothes in the same way twice, that's what makes it so boring. Instead, try different shoes, a different bag, change the jewellery and other accessories if you want. For eg:
Tunic: Wear it as a dress for an evening party or with a pair of loose linen pants for the day. Leggings, jeggings and jeans are your regular options. Also, wearing sky high heels versus flats will be based on the occasion you want to wear it for.
3. Back to the basics
Instead of hankering after pricey, outrageous pieces that have no repeat value (because everyone will remember when you wore it last!), fill your closet with basic layering pieces:
A waistcoat: Wear it over a simple t-shirt and jeans combination for instant upgrade
A wrap: Wear it with a knee-length dress or a long white shirt with leggings.
4. One woman’s trash = other woman’s treasure
Exchange things that you haven’t worn for a long time with your friends , who knows you might find something interesting.
5. A statement neck piece:
Don't be boring with a statement neck piece and limit it's usage. Instead of wearing it with your all-black or all-white ensemble; pep it up and wear it with prints, textures and contrasting colours. Wear it under a blazer, over a dress with a silk blouse or a plain t-shirt. Think out of the box.
