Recycled Fashion Service from Refashionable.com

admin — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:24:52 +0000

Refashionable (www.refashionable.com), an online store for recycled clothing, footwear and accessories, helps people feel better about spending money on fashionable clothing and provides a great way to beat the credit crunch by releasing the cash in your closet. Refashionable’s customers can buy and sell good quality used items quickly and cheaply online, while donating some or all of the proceeds to charities of their choice.

The website is aimed at people who enjoy buying and wearing the latest fashions, and who may have a large collection of unwanted or unworn clothes at the end of each season. It is ideal for those who find their clothes too stylish for Ebay or car boot sales.

Refashionable is also an information hub that encourages garment recycling with videos on wardrobe customization, clothing care and repairing hints and tips; such as how to sew on buttons, mend holes, fix hems and embellish. Members will also be able to upload their own videos, share and show off their own skills to other users.

The idea is the brainchild of former footwear buyer Christine Walker who says: “There’s a huge amount of pollution and CO2 emissions caused by the production, and transport of clothing and footwear to the UK from other countries. The UK’s fashion carbon footprint is massive and buying organic or fair trade is not enough to counteract this. The Refashionable web site is a place where people can buy from a local source and also learn how to refashion the clothes they already own and help them last longer by caring for them properly. Consumers can also donate all or a portion of sales proceeds to any UK registered charity.”

Straight

Start by combing a little smoothening cream through hair that is damp, but not dripping wet. Spray the ends of your hair with volumizer. Try Redken Plump Treat found at departmental stores. Blow dry your hair straight out using round brush and a dryer with a nozzle attachment. Once hair is dry, flip out sections of your hair using the dryer and your brush. Use the brush on the lower layers and you will end up with ends that are springy and bouncy. Spray the ends of your hair with a flexible hold hair spray and shake your hair with your fingers. This will prevent your hair from looking too done or artificial. The style is great for a job interview or to meet your guy’s parents.

Curly

Scrunch some mousse that is meant to enhance curls throughout your hair leaving out the roots. Pantene Pro V has a styling mousse meant for curly hair. Attach the diffuser to your hair dryer and dry hair using your fingers scrunching it while you dry. Let your hair fall into the diffuser cup for a few seconds and stop. Keep repeating this step as many times it takes till your hair dries. The bottom of your ringlets will have a fluffed up look. If you feel that your curls still look too controlled, you could try separating them with your fingers. Pair this style with smoky eyes and you are ready for a night out at a club!

Short

If your hair is naturally wavy, you need to use an antifrizz gel or else your hair might end up looking like a ‘Yield’ sign. Try a spray gel or a leave-in. Skip the roots though. The new bob is no longer defined but edgy and full. To create volume, blow dry while rotating a large hair brush at the edges to give it that subtle wavy look while at the front keep it straight or you might end up like a bubble gum bubble. Great for a chic trendy restaurant!

Wavy

Use a volumnising spray to dampen hair. Do not spray your scalp. Use a medium round brush to blow dry. Your hair should have curves and curls which is airy and full of oomph. To get this glam look spray chunks of hair with a spray that has a flexible hold separately. This w@ ýð
