Yeah, Black Friday folly has already started. Originally Black Friday was a name given to the shopping day on Friday following Thanksgiving. Nowadays however, many stores offer highly discounted sales not only on the Black Friday. Some start their sales on the Thanksgiving already, some even a week before. So the true discount folly has already started. I was shopping today and it’s there, believe me.

So, let’s look what some of the shops offer.

O yes THEY ARE.. and they are quite visible. In general, people in USA and Canada will instantly recognize somebody from Europe and in Europe you will instantly recognize somebody from America. How is this possible? The brands shown on runways in Paris or London are not at all that different from those shown in New York, then how people now what's European or what's American? And I know they do differentiate because I often buy clothing in Europe and when I wear them in Canada many people ask about their origin.

Summer just started. So what`s new on the market? Here are some new trends that will help you to make the right decision and look cool as ever, even if your pockets are not that plenty of money.

Diamond Foundry jewelry: There is no woman who would not like to possess jewelry made out of diamonds, but the prices for these precious gems are many times beyond our buying capabilities. About five years ago a new company was created – Diamond Foundry – a producer of laboratory made, high-quality diamonds. By now, Diamond Foundry is the biggest and first certified carbon-neutral diamond producer who`s gems are about 36% cheaper than the diamonds dug up from the earth.

So, before you make the final decision for your creation that of course should make the most possible impression and make you to get noticed, take some time to read this. I prepared for you some most important trends for the season 2018/2019.

A shine above everything

The coming New Year’s Eve and Carnival season is absolutely ruled by the shine. Glistening and glazy accessories of all sort, shiny fabrics of all colors, but especially gold, silver or black, sequins on blouses, dresses, even shoes, you shine and you will be noticed. Very trendy are also skirts made of sequins matched with high heels. You can find great collection of the accessories at Century 21, Dolce & Gabbana, and wonderful jewellery at Diamonds.

For more courageous I am proposing total metallic look, from top to the bottom, in gold or silver. Despite the former information that metallic will be passé, this trend is still on top and makes like usual a great entry. Check festive jumpsuits at Glamour for example. They are not only eye-catching with their original design but incredibly chic as well. They certainly inspire one incredible New Year’s Eve look. The metallic trend was also presented this year by Gucci. Who knows, it is maybe the last chance to get crazy about this style, because if Gucci is still in it, you may be as well.

The French department store, visited by millions of buyers (this is the second most visited place in Paris after the Eiffel Tower) offers both luxury goods and items available for every budget. The Lafayette Gallery was opened on the corner of Rue la Fayette in the ninth arrondissement. in 1894 by two cousins: Théophile Bader and Alphonse Kahn. The store was supposed to look like a huge, luxurious bazaar and quickly became a symbol of a place where you can buy even the most extraordinary goods. Over time, the store consumed neighboring tenements, and today occupies the area of ​​three buildings. The most beautiful spot of the Lafayette Gallery is the nouveau cupola, the colorful stained glass created in 1912 by Jacques Grüber. Around the center of the building there are 10 pillars which are decorated with coats of arms of the largest cities - textile producers. The first floor is a place for leading brands and a specially designed laboratory where the projects of rising fashion stars are shown. In addition to shops, the gallery features restaurants, hairdressers and spas, and the upper terrace offers a great view of ParisThe gallery is not only worth visiting due to great shops, but also thanks to events, such as landing of the famous pilot on the roof. The gallery makes one of the obligatory points for tourists visiting the capital of France, offering over 2.5 thousand. stores with women's and men's clothing, drugstores and stores with interior decoration.
