Spoiler!


1) The text logo is great. It's floating about, but perfectly fashionable.
2) The menu, and colorfull left-top logo look like they've just been slapped on, and are floating about.
3) I love the banner, why are you not giving it enough credit and dropping it that low.
4) The colors in your left-top logo, are perfectly suitable for that same banner, why not incorporate them. Some way.
5) I'm not a big fan of glossy buttons, they match with almost nothing, except if you 'gloss' out your entire website.

At this point you have three focals that represent your company/website in a different way. That's too much, you need to be consequent in your look and feel, and have people focus on the rest.

I'm not a big fan of the twirly fonts, but i've seen it before on fashion websites, so i guess it's accepted in that segment. Don't go to far and make your menu not-readable though.

Look around, take a look at other (fashion) websites, they're all serving (nearly, with the exception of certain demographic values and taste.) the same target-group, so should be of your interest.

I dont think the buttons match with the rest of it. And the colours in the top left are awesome, maybe try to add those colours in other places, like the banner and something in the text.

Yeah, I only did the top left logo, the buttons and banner. Its basically ran by myself and 2 of my other friends

Im doing the graphics
My friend is the coding and my other friend does the selling, ordering, etc.

The outer glow on the buttons turn pink like in the logo when the mouse is over it

What do you mean "floating about" priam? =S

Thanks for the feedback, ill edit it, and post it again.

The BG is fine. Havin a basic BG won't take away attention from what's really important, the content and message you're trying to send.

Just remember one thing, A designer always needs to be able to explain his actions.

So if someone asks you:

"Why did you put those glossy buttons in?"

You need to be able to answer that from a users perspective, "Because it looks good", won't cut it ;)
