fashion trends for young people


Famous Fashion Accessories

for beautiful women

Remember the TopsyTail? How could you forget? The best-selling hair accessory in history had a ubiquitous infomercial in the 1990's that set the standard for other fashion accessory products to follow. TopsyTail sold over $100 million in a short period of time. Meanwhile, other successful products Hairdini, Whirl-a-Style and FanTail have enjoyed longer market longevity, and evolving product lines. All products were invented by women, who got into the business for different reasons in unique ways.

Here my hair is pulled half way back in my senior picture in 1996.  This is actually one of my favorite pictures of myself.

FanTail- consistently a best seller at Ulta stores for over five years.

For Sandra Lunde, the inventor of the FanTail (which inserts in the hair to make a spiky ponytail), an actual dream about inventing something for the hair was the epiphany she needed to get into the business. "The dream was so real that I knew I just had to invent something and make it come true", Sandra recalls. She always enjoyed doing hair as a child, and even did her mother's hair, while dreaming of a future as a hairstylist.

She notes that she would have gone into another creative field, such as graphic or interior design, had she not done this. She was quite the fashionista as well, reading beauty magazines and shopping for the latest trends in clothing. She has long, straight hair that, while plain when worn down, works well with her FanTail product, especially during the summers. She attributes "perseverance, a positive attitude and wanting to succeed" as personal traits that led to her success. She invested her own money in the product, and while she got frustrated at times, "kept going" no matter what. The inspiration for the product's circular pronged shape came during a night of ordering in- "We got a pizza to go and there was a plastic thing inside the box, it was to hold the box from sticking to the pizza...and from that I got a basic shape for my product. Kind of weird I know!"

Had she done anything differently, she would have tried to get a licensing agreement with an outside company for her first product, Clip-N-Lift, and collect royalties, instead of making and marketing the product herself. With the FanTail she got it right, and decided to go with a licensing agreement through Accessory Brainstorms. She tells future inventors to "believe that you can do anything and never give up!"


There are also the evening bags that are enough for the women to get an elegant look along with the dress they wear. Evening is the time for having parties for which there are elegant clutches that are big enough for carrying your essential things that can include lipstick, keys and other necessary items.

Spring and summer trends

Mini dresses are very popular this season. We’ve seen them over the past couple of seasons but the mini dress remains very strong trend also for the upcoming spring and summer. They range in style from sexy to innocent and from girly to flirty. We can also see variety of different shapes. Baby doll dresses are still very strong but we can also see more fitted minis, with attention paid to the waist. Mini dresses always look great when you wear them with high wedges to make your legs look really long.
