Sunday Afternoon

2011-02-07T00:46:00.000-08:00

Have you ever feel like you fed up with works, you really needs a day off and when the holiday comes, you wish you have many things to do?

All day yesterday is mine myself. But after wake up late at noon and don't want to go anywhere, I almost ended up with boringness until late night. So I took an afternoon walk surrounding my place to take some pics but none of the objects was interesting (or maybe I didn't have the talent to be a photographer). It ain't that fun for Sunday afternoon walk , not in sub urb like the area I'm living today. Next thing I know I was trapped in my 3x6 metre square room, with these great stuffs to cheer my mood.

Ah...and I forgot this blog supposed to be talked about fashion. Well, I insist to say that I spent my Sunday afternoon in fashion.

Smart Shopper

2011-01-17T22:24:00.000-08:00

Who doesn't love shopping? Since I wasn't a billionaire or stars that being endorsed by branded clothing, smart shopping is a must strategy for me. Usually I had a hard bargaining on local vendors like ITC (anywhere) or Pasar Baru (Bandung) to get best price for items that I wanted. On modern department store or branded retail store, I only buy discounted branded items, because the normal price is usually not acceptable for me.

But you know, sometimes they held the Big Sale on the wrong time. Either I already waste my money for other things, or the Sale only held in very short period time, I often missed the chance shopping on those promising event. Once I got the chance, the Sale is already over. Sigh.

I had a friend who loves branded items, and recently she can bought them at very low prices! Last week she bought a pair of Nine West pump for less than 350.000 rupiahs (about $35, normal price $69). For me, it's still a bit expensive, though...but for a pair of stunning boots, I think I won't hesitate to buy it on the first sight. By the way, she can get those pumps within the price after she become member of this discount club. Only for 120.000 rupiahs, she can get up to 70% on branded items, for 3 years membership. Cool!!!

Here is the lovely pumps:

Fashion Resolutions/Wishlist 2011

2011-01-11T21:13:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year, readers!!! (*what calendar in your room, girl?)

Such a bad blogger. I was ignoring my blogs almost for a year. Yeah, blogs. Everytime I'm interest in something I create a blog with particular theme, but then again...I get bored easily, so last thing I know I have so many blogs without new entries. Sorry all my readers, for made you craving so long for new posts...

krik...krik...krik....

Hey...this is my own blog! Can't I pleasure myself thinking that a lot of readers out there loving my posts??? :D

Okay...I'll try to stop messing around. This time I just wanna speak up my resolutions on 2011. Or...my Re-resolutions (thinking those plans that failed on past few years). Since I started this blog as a fashion blog, so I tried to be focus here. So I make a fashion resolutions/wishlist this year:

1. Boots

Honestly, I think boots is the coolest footwear. I am ashamed that I never buy one. Whenever I almost did it, there always reasons that keep me from buying them. I always think twice when I face a captivating boots in a shoe store, off line or online...

'there is no winter in my country, it's not an urgent needs'......'they look good on me, but the accessories are ugly'......'hmm...how many times I will wear them in a week?'......'gosh, people will looking strange at me with this stunning boots, I feel horrible'......'what are my co-workers thinking if I'm wearing them to work some day? I'm not working on a fashion/lifestyle magazine'.....'they cost four times of my usual flats, but I will rarely wear it'...etc...

Ah, Confidence. My friends thought that I don't have problems with my confidence, but they are wrong. You could challenge me walking alone in the cemetery, or touching some disgusting animals, or you can debate me on my social/political opinion and I will defense with no hesitation. But to me, a stunning appearance in a boring society, or vice versa, is not comfortable at all. Well, actually a boring appearance in a stunning society still acceptable for me.

Since it is new year and I really want to get my-most-wanted-fashion-item, so I made FLAT-KNEE BOOTS as my main fashion wishlist on 2011. And whenever I get it, I'll try my best to wear it confidently, no need to think what others thinking...whether they like it or not, accept it!

2. Stay As Neat As Possible

I say 'as possible'. Because I know I was not born as the most neat person in the world, I'll try my best to give up my bad habit, which is throwing my shirt once I come my place after work. I guess it's okay if it's dirty shirts, I can pick up anytime and washing them afterwards. But most of the times it's not dirty at all, and I was going to wear it again on a different day before it get washed. Maybe it looks disgusting for some people. But for me who is lazy on washing clothes, and barely get problems with body odor, it is the perfect way to wear the outfits, on the top of that it saves water.

Well, what I want to tell is not the fact that I wear shirts twice before it gets washed, but how lazy I am ironing them. Sometimes I felt ironing is a useless housekeeping, because one with a very neat shirt will found their shirt rumpled an hour or two later.

But since I realized people often find my morning appearance as if I was sleeping with my shirt on, so I'll try to iron my clean shirt everyday. Wish me luck :(

3. Less Skin

Even I live in the heat of Jakarta, I'm not used to wear sunblock. Outside my place, I almost always be in places with Air Con. In the work place, car, busway, meeting rooms, oh there are always freezing Air Con all around! People here loves Air Con, while I am comfortable with 24-25 ºC, they set the Air Con under 22 ºC.

It freezes my brain, it affects bad to the skin, and it feels so cold for me. I usually wear my jacket, sweater, or at least a warm cardigan to work. People always asking whether I was having a cold or something, and it didn't feel good for me to wear sweater during meeting with clients. So I think I should buy more long-sleeved shirts from now on.

4. LBD

People said Little Black Dress is a must have item. It is simple and timeless, you don't have to worry it is out of date. Yay! Looking at my collection, there are brown, and other dark colours but I haven't got a black one. So I will have at least one LBD this year, and various accessories will create different looks. With the right accessories, I guess it's acceptable if I wear it on wedding receptions nowadays :p

5. Less Skirt

Actually I'm not a feminin nor girly person, but I wear skirts more often than pants to work. The thing is, it's hard for me to keep my waist size. I can wear the same skirt on the waistline, or under the waist ine, depend on my often-changed size.

For pants, it has to be on the perfect size. I bought pants that fit my waist, but two or three weeks later it's not fit with me anymore. Of course I can't wear size 29 pants when my waist size is going 30. It is still acceptable wearing size 30 if my waistline back to size 29, but most pants I have didn't have belt loops. So it looks funny when I wear bigger pants than my size (yeah, you can imagine I keep pulling up on my pants whenever it falls down under my waistline).

Still, I'm more comfortable wearing pants instead of skirts. Moreover, currently I think my legs are more hairy since last year. I'm not sure why it happened, but I think it related to a particular brand of body lotion that I wear some time ago. And I don't do waxing. Shaving your armpit hair and bikini area is a must, but having hair removal from legs or arms are out of the question.

Shaving or waxing the hairy legs or arms must be a routine job, I can't stand the routinity, and I can't stand the pain either. So, this year I will wear pants more often instead of skirts. However, if I have to wear skirts on some occasions, I will wear stockings.

6. More Time with Heels

I wore high heels only on wedding receptions. I wear flats everyday, or low heels (3 to 5 cm) when meeting with clients. I even wear sandals in my office. I don't know how people look at me on high heels, but I feel awkward when wearing them.

Women my age usually start to wear heels since high school, few of them since junior high. I felt no use to wear them at such a young age, 'cause my height was above average when I was 12.

As I grow taller, I didn't feel the need to start learning to wear heels. At college I wear flats and sneakers, even my faculty was well-known because of the fashionable female students with latest fashion and wearing high heels during classes. Thank God most of my classmates loved flat shoes as much as I did, as flats are perfect accompanies for student with a bunch of activities.

Still, twenty something women need to know how to wear high heels perfectly. I agree it looks stunning on them. Indeed it looks a bit sexy, as long as they know how to wear them. Sometimes I see girls with 7 cm and above heels and they look so funny walking on their stilletos or pumps. I hope I didn't look like them, so this year I urge my self to wear high heels more. For a clumsy person like me, it may be difficult to wear them with perfect balance. But I believe practice makes perfect, so I will try my best to wear high heels as often as possible, until I get used to it and didn't feel awkward anymore. Watch me!

Stop forcing me to join Looklet!

2010-04-12T10:17:00.000-07:00

My sister keep telling me that I should try to join Looklet.com. I already saw it at a glance when she was playing it, and I think...okay...you can choose the clothes you want, and then mix&match it with this and that, and then...what's so hot about that? Okay...I know that everyone there can participated in some contests and win something...but I wasn't sure that we could be the winner or at least chosen as nominee.

Why I was so skeptic? I share you my opinion here:

1. There are more than 250 thousand users joined Looklet, and I thought that number itself already shows us how small the chance to get attention among others who already joined & got popularity in this site.

2. It's an internationally contest, and for some reason, it's a bit hard for people that came from South East Asia to have themselves being a winner in such world contest. It's easier for us to see nominees from Europe or America continents rather than Asia. Example: it's very rare to see an Indonesian nominated for Top 10 Miss Universe, Miss World, etc.

3. The rules to enter the contest was: Looklet pick 20 nominees, and then the most liked nominees will get the first prize. If you get nominated, maybe because you are worth it. Means that your design is very outstanding.

If you get the first prize, your design might not be the best or the (real) most favorite among all nominees' design. It needs extra effort , which is....you have to get vote from as many people to get your prize. And surely this effort will take much time. This is what I hate.

But somehow, yesterday I decided to join Looklet.com.

.....

and I can't stop playing. Crap.

It reminds me that in my childhood, even I was boyish (and still, I think), I used to playing Barbie as well as any other teenage girls. The difference with Looklet is...in this site you can mix and match clothes that you don't have, you wish to have, or you may can't have!

You can practice to be a stylist there. Hm...I don't think I have a good sense as a stylist, and I don't ever dream about it, either. I prefer to design something. Well, I think Looklet can be one of my inspirations, and the other advantage was...I have something to write about for this blog :D

This is my looklet page, feel free to heart any looks that you love.

And this one is my first look:

What do you think?

Miley Cyrus: I'm more sociable since I quit Twitter

2010-03-25T12:51:00.000-07:00

The “Hannah Montana” sweetie, Miley Cyrus was fond of twitter a year ago. Last October she quitted. Previously on her twitter, she was telling everyone what she is doing in which she became tired of that’s why she quitted and she was happy she’d done that. She’s a star, she’s still young at 17 and she needs to enjoy herself, she is also entitled to her freedom. She wants to live life to the full, and needs to do that.

On interview she mentioned, “I was kind of tired telling everyone what I’m doing, I’m a lot less on my phone. I’m a little bit more social. I have real friends as opposed to friends on the internet that I’m talking to which is not cool, not safe, not fun-and most likely not real.”

She’s absolutely right, for teenagers like her, she must enjoy a life like any ordinary teenagers does. By that she encourages teens and her fans to follow her lead.
“I hang out with my friends and they’re so busy taking pictures of what they’re doing to post on Face book and not really enjoying what they’re doing. I think I just enjoy the moment you’re in. Stop telling people about it. Enjoy it for yourself. I’m telling kids “don’t go internet”. It’s dangerous, it’s not fun, and it wastes your life. And you should be outside playing sports or something”

Guess Miley is using her being a star personality to encourage people to follow her good advice. With that Mile, you are a good character model.

Kim Kardashian Thinks We Care Enough to Have Two Versions of her

2010-03-24T08:53:00.000-07:00

Kim Kardashian was into some kind of problem. She’s confused on where she’d look better. She’s into little decision making wise dilemma. People Decide what shot was better. Blond or Brunette?

Kim said on in interview “ We did the blond shoot last year right before I went back to my darker look and decided I wanted to capture the blond look, so what better way to do that than to create a calendar!?” Wow! Nice idea, well she did made a calendar. Guess Kim preferred the darker one that’s why she went back into it.

Probably a challenge for her, she must need to decide herself. Well a change in appearance sometime wasn’t bad at all as long as you look prettier than before. Make sure the people will love you more on that new look than before. If they tend to hate you with new look, here’s an effective advice “went back to your previous style”.

Judge the photos of Kim, which do you prefer, let’s help Kim decide. Why don’t you try the curl one Kim? Guess you look will better with that, a new hair.

Jessica Simpson Offers Up Relationship Advice

2010-03-02T12:57:00.000-08:00

“You can’t love someone else to change them. Happiness comes from accepting who they are. It is our decision to really know who we love. My next husband will be an artistic man. It will show you the colors of my character, the person that I fall in love with next I don’t even have a type! I don’t have a physical type. I have an emotional type.” That’s a Jessica Simpson spirit. She’s a woman with so much love to share, a woman who does not get tired to offer love.

Yes we agree that she’s not the luckiest woman when it comes to choosing a man of her life but of course that doesn’t stop her to look for his Mr. Right. Logic behind you can’t find someone if your got going to look for that someone.

At least she has the guts to give advice, and she doesn’t dump her world just because of a one man or just because of a broken relationship. She still hopes, and hopes are still with her. Yes, someday somehow she will meet man of gentle, whom she’s dreaming and be with that man happily.

Let’s just hope for the best of her.

Celebrity Gossip: Lady Gaga Disses Doubting Ex

2010-02-28T21:35:00.000-08:00

So that’s the story behind her songs and the way she dress. Would you imagine a guy telling you that you will not succeed or you will fail? That’s what Lady Gaga’s ex-boyfriend exactly told her. We’ll I guess to think you’re such a waste, this woman with courage just prove him wrong.
Lady Gaga is not arrogant it’s just a reality that she’s now a superstar. A lady who already know by the whole world. Who wouldn’t know her?

She succeeded with her own unique way, she does not imitate anyone. She does what she likes, and she wears what she likes. She even dance the way she wanted that no one has ever does.
This girl is a surprise. You’ll never know what she wears, and does next. She succeeded on her self alone, maybe with the help of her ex-boyfriend, but on the other way around. She was superbly encourage by the things his ex-boyfriend told her. She wanted to prove him wrong badly, and that’s what she actually did.

This girl is so delusionally ambitious, as she had mentioned herself. That’s the power of ambitions or dreams, for her, her ambitions makes her now a superstar.

Second chance to become an (Amateur) model

2010-01-26T11:27:00.000-08:00

I spent my day with an old friend today, re-taking pictures of products for my online shop. These last 2 weeks I start to sell dresses with L & XL sizes but not much progress---I think because the pictures displayed were lousy. So I needed to re-publish more attractive pictures. The problem was who should be my models? It's not so easy to find one, who have curve body, and especially who are willing to get only a bowl of Bakso** in return? ^_^

So we both be the models. Yes, me involved. It's my second times someone make-over me for a single photo shoot, 'cuz I don't have a good make-up skill. Here's one of the result, the rest will be uploaded soon in my multiply.

The first time I had a similar photo session, was few years ago, when my friend wants to experiment a bit of the Ganguro's* stlye and apply it to me. But somehow it made me look like Erykah Badu instead Ganguro girl :D

Ganguro*: or "Black Face Girls" is an alternative fashion trend of blonde or orange hair and tanned skin among young Japanese women that peaked in popularity around the year 2000, but remains evident today. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ganguro.jpg)

Bakso** : is Indonesia term for meatballs, it served in a bowl, like soup, with noodles, beancurds (tofu), eggs, 'siomay'/steamed meat dumpling, and crispy wonton. It has a consistent homogeneous texture, and spices to it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatball)

Bakso Time!!!

Start to post my own thoughts about fashion

2010-01-24T12:02:00.000-08:00

Hi readers...

I think this is the time for me to post my own writings. As you might see, all my previous posts are free-fashion articles that I republish to fill this blog. Why would I do that? Let me tell the story.

One day in my previous company, I learn about SEO to boost the company site's popularity and the boss made us republish hundreds free articles and put links to our company sites. We had also been informed that we can make money from Google Adsense, if people visiting our blog and click these ads. We were quite motivated at that time and start to blog everyday.

Time to choose a popular theme for my blog and I choose fashion theme, not because I'm fashionable. That's totally wrong. I don't follow fashion trends but I don't wear weird clothes, either. Until I was a teenager, drawing people&design dress are my hobbies and become a fashion designer was actually what I want for living. I love watching fashion show on TV or reading latest fashion trend on magazines (even I didn't follow it). But I'm not a fashion designer now :p

My first plan was actually writing all my thoughts about fashion, about what I wear everyday, about what are my fashion wishlists, all about fashion&me. But next thing I know was I never got a chance to write anything outside my tasks in office. I was too busy, tired, and fed up with office things so I guess at that time there's no inspiration would come to me :(

But in the other hand, I really want to prove that I can get side-income from this Adsense! So I started with republish free-articles everyday (which I didn't feel too comfort doing it 'cuz my background is Journalism---somehow I felt like I'm plagiating, grab others minds--even though I always mention the writer&the URL source) and then I registered for Google Adsense. Lucky me...it tooks only 2 days for Google to cache my page and approve my Adsense request.

I posted 1 post everyday at the first month, and lesser at the 2nd month, and became less, less, and lesser. You know...it's really a boring job to copy-paste those posts, without enjoying what you post.

After resigning&decide to start my own business, I got more time to do anything including blogging everyday. Moreover, my writing about fashion will support my business now, an online boutique for L & XL size... you can peek in here :)

Don't hesitate to leave comments :)

Tips to Find the Right Winter Boots

2009-12-14T03:13:00.000-08:00

Author: ajax

The cold weather’s here again, and it’s time to forget summer sandals, and think boots- one of the top winter must haves . While you’re on your boot-shopping mission, every pair may seem desirable in its own way. But finding one that’s functional yet trendy is the challenge. Here are some tips to find the right boots to keep those tootsies toasty!
Tip #1 - Go for over-the-knee or knee-high boots While ankle boots and mid-calf boots are hot, they’re impractical for winter. Knee-high or over-the-knee boots can keep you warm and comfortable even in freezing weather. Pair them up with short skirts or tuck in your skin-tight jeans for a sexy and sensational look.
Tip # 2 – Leather boots are better-off Suede and sheepskin have no doubt been more popular. But they’re hardly appropriate for winter, especially if you live in areas experiencing heavy snowfall. Leather boots on the other hand look chic and can keep your feet warm if properly insulated. Take a look at the winter sale at Shoebuy for comfortable and trendy leather boots and avail free shipping deals ! Tip # 3 - Opt for waterproof This can help keep your feet dry even when you’re walking through the wettest bogs. You will find great waterproof shoes at Timberland, which have an insulated mid-sole and rubber heels that prevent water from getting through.
Tip # 4 - Choose a neutral style and color Before you pick up your boots, make sure you can pair them up with most of your outfits. If not, you may end up buying more boots than you need. It’s probably a good idea to browse through the winter collection at an online shopping mall , and choose the kind of boots that would best serve your purpose.
Tips # 5 – Always ask yourself- ‘heels or no heels?’ Heels are certainly not a good idea for icy sidewalks. But high-heeled winter boots do turn the most heads during days when the weather does cooperate. However, if you’re looking for something more comfortable, winter fashion 2009 has brought in a whole new collection of hot and practical boots that are worth a look. Lace up or pull-on winter boots are the most popular, as they can offer good comfort as well as keep your feet warm. One common problem with winter boots is bad odor. To avoid this, remember to pick up boots with 'Cita-XY Agion' insoles. These insoles comprise of various fibers combined with ionized silver, which keep a check on bad odor. So, get ready to step out in style this winter!

Choosing a bikini for your body shape

2009-07-29T05:35:00.000-07:00

Author: Catherine Dunn Finding the right bikini for your body is an annual ordeal. You can nearly always guarantee that if the bottoms fit, the top will be too small, and if the top fits, the bottoms will make your backside look massive. I've got some top tips for you on choosing the right swimwear to flatter your body shape.
Pear shaped
The pear shape is said to be British women's most common body type and it just means you have a larger bottom half than top half. It doesn't sound a very flattering shape, but actually it just means you are more voluptuous on the bottom half and as a plus you probably have a lovely flat stomach too! If you want to draw attention away from your bottom half, a great way to do this is by wearing a pretty and detailed bikini top to draw attention to your bust. By maximising your bust it'll be easy for you to look sexy and voluptuous in your bikini! Try to avoid bandeau styles as these will only minimise your curves. Bikini bottoms that cut across the widest part of your hips will look the most flattering on you. Choose bikini bottoms with side ties so you can adjust them to the most flattering position for you, but keep away from boy shorts as these will make your hips look bigger. Always make sure the bottom half of your bikini fits well, as there's nothing guaranteed to make you look bigger than ill-fitting or too tight bikini bottoms.
Apple shaped
If you're a classic apple shape, then you probably have a less well defined waist and smaller hips. Actually it's not that you don't have a small waist, it's just that you have such slim hips! On the bonus side you probably have a great bust and lovely long legs too! So focus on these and create the illusion of curves by picking bikinis with string ties, ruffles, belt, or pretty bow details. Try to steer clear of too small a bikini bottom as these won't flatter your shape, instead go for bikini bottoms with high cut legs that lengthen your legs and draw attention away from your waist. Sexy boy shorts would also work well on you. Avoid halter necks because these will just lengthen your top half, also steer clear of horizontal stripes as these will just draw attention back to your waist. If you feel you need to cover up your tummy chose a tankini or swimsuit in a nice simple style and a pretty pattern.
Hourglass
If you're lucky enough to have an hourglass figure then you can flaunt it in just about any style and that includes even the teeniest of bikinis! Sexy high cut bikini bottoms will look good on you and will make your legs look long. Just make sure you don't squeeze those curves into too small a bikini because you don't want any wardrobe malfunctions on the beach!
Slim or atheletic
A slim or atheletic figure may lack some of the curves of an hourglass, but as a bonus you'll have a slim waist and a slight figure - lucky you! Bikini tops with ruffles or pretty prints will look flattering on you. A halter neck is also a good look as it'll help to accentuate your bust, you could also try bikini tops with extra padding for maximum effect! You'll look great in boy shorts and bikinis with tie sides which will help to give you a curvier look. Try to avoid boring mono block swimsuits as these will be the least flattering for you - pretty pattern and lots of feminine detail are the key for you!
Top tips for looking good on the beach!
The following are not strictly body types, but they're probably amongst the biggest issues we women face when picking the right bikini or swimwear, so we've given them their very own sections!
Big bust
If this is you and you're lucky enough to be a curvy lady, then a good choice for a larger bust is a halter neck bikini because they can give you good support as well as a sexy cleavage! It's probably best to avoid strapless bandeau styles as they won't give you much support and can look unflattering. Likewise bikinis with tiny tops are best avoided as they won't provide you with enough coverage and you could well find yourself popping out all over! If you have real problems finding bikinis to fit both your top and bottom halves, then trying buying them separately so you can mix and match sizes. If support is a problem for you, then look out for underwired bikini tops or tank top bikinis with wide straps which will give you that all important extra support.
Small bust
Ladies with smaller busts are lucky because they can wear lots of different styles, including bandeau styles which only really look amazing on you! Make sure you check out bikinis with ruffles and tiny tri top bikinis because only you can wear these well! Go for bright colours on the beach this summer, and check out the Brazilian style bikinis which generally have smaller tops making them perfect for you. For extra impact, try bikinis with padding. It's always a good idea to choose a bikini that has adjustable straps to ensure a good fit because loose bikini tops are definitely not a flattering look.
Now for the rest!
If there are any specific bits and pieces you want to conceal or hide, take a look at our checklist below on how to deal with the most common body shape issues: Short legs - pick a bikini bottom or swimsuit cut high on the leg as these will help make your legs look longer. It's probably best to avoid boy shorts and bikinis with skirts as these will just draw attention down making your legs look shorter. Short body - again, you'll find a high cut leg is flattering and will help to elongate your legs. Also wearing a bikini that has a patterned top and solid colour bottoms can help to lengthen the body. Try to avoid boy shorts and bikinis with skirts because by drawing attention down these will only make you look shorter. Long body - you've got the opposite problem here! You're probably a complete clothes horse and everything looks great on you. In fact bikinis were made for you because they'll help to break up your long body. You can wear bikinis with lots of lovely detail at the bust and hip, plus boy shorts will also look good on you. Just try to avoid swimsuits with vertical sripes or in dark mono block colours as these will make your body look longer. Instead go for horizontal stripes or some lovely bright summer colours. Bandeau bikini tops can also help by giving width to your bust Big bottom - if you want to minimise your bottom it's best to avoid boy shorts, very skimpy bottoms, or anything with too many ruffles or detail, as these will just draw attention to this area. Instead try a bigger bikini bottom in a solid colour with a full side as ties will just emphasise this area. If you're really conscious of your bottom you might want to consider a bikini with a little skirt. But you can also draw attention away from your bottom half with a pretty detailed bikini top - ruffles are good here, in fact anything that emphasises your top half will help to draw attention away from your bottom. No waist - like the apple shape which we talked about earlier, it's not that you don't have a waist, just that your slim hips draw attention away from it. But you can create the illusion of curves with a bikini that has ruffles, bows or detail at the hips. If you have a small bust, a strapless bandeau bikini top will also look good on you. Just try to avoid swimsuits in a solid colour or with horizontal stripes as these will be the least flattering for you. Big thighs - you can draw attention away from your legs by emphasising your top half, or by wearing high legged bikinis. A bikini bottom with the string tied high on the leg will look very flattering on you! Wide shoulders - the key to looking good for you is to balance out your body, so you want to emphasise your bottom half. Avoid plunging necklines and teeny tiny bikini bottoms because these will not be flattering to your body shape and will emphasise your shoulders. Instead opt for bikini bottoms in bright colours, bold prints, and with ties or details at the hip as these will draw attention to your bottom half and help to balance out your shoulders. Short waist - lengthen your body with bikini bottoms that have a low waist or are low rise. Also bikini bottoms with a belt at the hips will look good on you.
Last but not least!
Just remember to find the perfect bikini or swimsuit before you go on your hols. Prices at holiday destinations can be very high and sizes can vary widely to UK sizes. Plus you don't want to waste any of your precious holiday time hunting down the perfect bikini - so make sure you take it with you!

Author: Tammy Ussery-Bakhtiari

A blue and white envelope just arrived in your mailbox. Inside is an invitation to your friend's house warming party next week. She is going to have wine, cheese, hor dours, and entertainment. It's going to be a dazzling event and you know you should dress up, but you have no idea what to wear. Deciding what to wear to any social event can be overwhelming, especially when you have party favors, decorating, and baking to worry about--in addition to your day-to-day work. Fortunately, an attractive cocktail dress is suitable for many occasions. If you are looking for versatility, the little black dress is a classic. It's attractive, simple, and stylish. You can wear it to almost any evening occasion, and you can personalize it with high heels, jewelry, and a handbag. And the little black dress can be quite attractive--just think about Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman,” wear she wears a black cocktail dress with lace trim. When you are shopping in search of the perfect little black dress, pay attention to the small details (below): What to Look for in a Little Black Dress : - Length. The dress should hit at the thinnest part of your leg above the knee. - Cut. Make sure the dress flatters your body type. The dress should accentuate a woman's curves and waist, but never ever be too tight. - Fabric. Jersey fabric is comfortable and stretchy, but it may not hold its shape. Invest in a dress with a soft, flattering fabric such as silk or satin. If you prefer new, trendy styles, try an updated version of the little black dress with a modern touch. The Little, Black Dress with a Modern Touch : - Sleeve length: Try a sexy strapless dress. Or, try a dress with long sleeves for the winter-time. - Tights: Wear patterned tights. Or, wear opaque tights, which are very trendy right now. Note: Opaque tights may dress down an outfit. - V-shape: Try on dresses with a plunging V in the front to accentuate your attributes. Also, V-shaped backs can be very sexy and sophisticated. - Lace: A black dress with lace can be very attractive and elegant. If the dress is very detailed, keep your accessories limited and wear classic makeup (red lipstick, mascara, and eye-liner). Cocktail Dresses: If you want to avoid black altogether, try on cocktail dresses! Cocktail dresses can be silver, plumb, gold, cream, etcetera. Wearing a stylish, colorful evening dress will make you more memorable, and it is much more festive than black. For the wintertime, try on dresses that are dark red, dark blue, ruby, gold, purple, or emerald green. Choosing a Cocktail Dress : To choose a unique, sexy cocktail dress , get an idea of what kinds of dresses exist. A simple online search works well. Consider dresses with lace, patterns, sequins, and satin. One-sleeved dresses and metallic are also popular, so don't shy away from them, Also, look for rich fabrics such as velvet and silk. If you are unsure what kinds of social events and special occasions call for a cocktail dress, use the suggested guidelines below: Occasions where a cocktail dress is recommended : - Cruise ships - Work-related parties (make sure the dress is knee-length and not too short) - Semi-formal - New Years - Anniversary parties - Holiday parties - Charity events - Dinner at an expensive restaurant Occasions where a cocktail dress may be worn : - Prom (cocktail dress designers make great, flirty 2009 prom dresses ) - Class reunions - Evening weddings - Dinner parties (ask the host in advance) - Evenings out (to the theater, the ballet, or the Opera.

7 Pearl Jewelry Terms You Must Know

2009-07-23T04:57:00.000-07:00

Author: Pearl Classic

When shopping for pearl jewelry , whether online or in a jewelry store, you are going to see and hear some industry terms that you may not be that familiar with. You’ll be told that the nacre of this pearl is thick, it’s luster is excellent, it’s surface is clean and that is why it retails for $999. The only thing you might recognize from that description is the price! So educating yourself on the terminology used to describe pearl jewelry before you begin shopping will allow you to accurately compare pearls from one another, understand their value, and can lead you to making a very good purchase on quality pearls. You may even end up saving a few dollars just by knowing a few terms! Cultured vs Natural Let’s start with knowing the difference between Cultured Pearls and Natural Pearls. While both are real pearls, the way they are created is what sets them apart. Cultured pearls are harvested on pearl farms in controlled conditions. With the assistance of pearl farmers, they insert an object into the mollusk to jump start the creation of the pearl. The end result is still an authentic pearl that carries the same properties as a natural pearl. Natural pearls by contrast are those found in their natural environment. They are pearls that have been stumbled upon by chance. Therefore, natural pearl jewelry may carry a heavier price tag than cultured pearl jewelry because of the unique, natural quality they have. Cultured pearls tend to be more affordable because of their ability to be mass produced. However, each is still very similar in their qualities and authenticity. Shape As you study the pearls that interest you, pay close attention to the shape of the pearl. The closer each pearl is to a perfect sphere or being perfectly round, the higher in value the jewelry will be. Round pearls are pretty rare to come across and only account for a small percentage of the pearls coming out of pearl farms. From there, you will see the term Near-round to describe pearls that are not quite perfectly round, but close to it. Oval pearls look just as they sound. Button style pearls are pearls that appear to be thinner, or squashed by comparison. Drop pearls have the appearance of a tear drop. Lastly are Baroque pearls. These pearls are irregular in shape and are non-symmetrical as well. In fact, the actual shapes of a baroque pearl can range from simply being semi-round to stick or cross shaped. Many times however, a strand of baroque pearls will be similar to each other thus creating a uniform strand. Incidentally, Tahitian and South Sea baroque pearls are also very unique as the process to create them takes much longer. Therefore, their value may be considered greater. Nacre / Mother-of-Pearl Nacre, or mother-of-pearl, is a secretion of calcium carbonate and conchiolin that a mollusk will release to cover an object such as a grain of sand that has entered the mollusk. This object acts as an irritant and triggers the secretion to begin. Layers and layers of nacre will build around this object and leads to the production of a pearl. In fact, a real pearl can be identified by its layers of nacre present. The thicker the nacre, the higher quality and more durable your pearl is against nicks, scratches and overall wear and tear. Luster Luster is a term used to describe a pearls ability to reflect light. The more translucent each layer of the pearl, the greater its ability to reflect light. You can visually determine a pearls luster by its ability to show your reflection or have shine to it. If the pearl is dull or really doesn’t have a reflection, then it is considered to be poor in quality. Surface A pearls surface can be described as clean, blemished or marked. The surface is basically how you see the pearl. Looking at it, do you see any marks or discolorations in its coating or color? If you do, these are the pearls blemishes or marks. If a pearl does not appear to have any, then it is described as clean. A pearl with a clean surface is considered to have a higher value than a pearl with a blemished surface. If you have your eyes set on a strand of clean pearls, be sure that the strand is uniform and that each pearl has a clean surface. While blemished pearls are considered to be lesser in value, they are still considered to be of good quality. Pearls whose surface is so poor generally do not make it to the jewelry stage. Color Colors of pearls vary from bright whites to rich shades of black. The color of the pearl will depend on the types of pearls you are looking at. For instance Akoya pearls generally come in whites with cream or pink overtones. Tahitian pearls on the other hand are most likely black or shades of gray. South Sea pearls meanwhile are generally associated with golden pearls. The color of pearls really doesn’t affect the pricing of it. However you will want to be sure that all of the other quality factors still apply to the pearls you are considering. Your choice of colored pearls should be chosen carefully to compliment your skin tone. As a rule of thumb, people with tan or darker skin tones tend to find darker pearls or pearls with cream overtones to compliment their skin best. Women with lighter, fairer skin will find that pearls with pink or rose overtones work well. Grades With so many terms used to describe pearl jewelry, it’s not a wonder we felt the need to write this article! However, all of these characteristics can be combined and defined with a simple grade. Yes, pearls receive grades based upon their quality. There are three grades that can be assigned to a pearl ranging from A to AAA. A pearl with a grade of AAA means these pearls are of the highest quality and greatest value. It means all of the characteristics listed out above are of the best conditioning. You can expect these types of pearls to be higher in price. Pearl jewelry given a grade of AA is your middle of the road pearl. The pearls generally will be round or near-round shape and may have slight blemishes here and there. These and the rest of the qualities will either be considered of high quality or slightly below. Lastly, pearl jewelry given an A generally means you’ll find a few more blemishes, a lower luster quality, and either a near round or semi-round shape. It is important to note that pearls with a lower grade do not necessarily mean they are not worth the investment. They are still quality, authentic pearls that have been matched with each other to create a uniform, cohesive set of pearl jewelry. Perhaps you may not be able to remember all of the terminology, but knowing the significance of a pearls grade will ensure you will be able to select a quality piece of jewelry that is worth the asking price. Now you hopefully will be able to go into a jewelry shop, online or off, and will have a clear advantage to make a smart purchasing decision. Couple this information with knowing the different types of pearls available and you will be all set!

Short Hairstyles for Thin Hair

2009-07-22T03:54:00.000-07:00

Author: Tim Faber

First, let’s have a quick definition of what having fine or thin hair really means. Basically, the ‘fine’ in the phrase refers to the diameter of each individual hair strand. This means that you can have fine hair which looks thick because the strands are packed more into each square inch of your scalp.

Or, you can have fine hair which looks really thin because the hair strands themselves are already thin in the first place – and they are sparsely populated within each square inch in the scalp. So depending on whether you have thin, fine hair or thick, fine hair, the best way to have a head start in choosing the short hair styles for fine hair that will suit you best would be with your hair cut.

Always consult your stylist and tell them the look that you would like to achieve, starting from maybe the length of hair that you would like to have. Take Your Pick from these Short Hair Styles for Fine Hair Now, if like the convenience of having short, fine hair that is pretty much low maintenance, here are the short hair styles that you can choose from:

Feather Cut for Short, Fine Hair - To achieve this short hair style for fine hair, your locks will be cropped in such a way that the ends will feather on the face lightly. You can best style this cut using a forward motion with a blow dryer, after which you can add some mousse to the crown and finish the do using a styling brush.

The Pixie Cut - There are two short hairstyles for thin hair that you can use if you have a pixie cut. For a more sophisticated look, you can use a paddle brush to create smooth lines and put your hair close to your skull. On the other hand, you can also use a styling mousse and create a sexy, just-out-of-bed look with your pixie hair cut.

The Bob - The best way to add some volume to thin, fine hair is to go for a bob cut. It can either be the straight bob that singer Rihanna used to wear, or a slightly layered bob that will add texture to your locks. These two short hair styles for fine hair will add the much-needed volume to your hair.

Naturally Curly - Let’s say that you have natural black hair. The easiest way to wear your hair without having to spend too much time in the salon is by styling it in a natural, curly and short hair style. Again, you can go for the rumpled, just out of bed look by styling your curly hair this way and that. Or, you can go for a more romantic, feminine look by taming your locks into a more severe style.

Straight with Layers - Finally, you can add some texture and volume to your fine hair by having it cut in a straight, layered style. No matter which of these short hair styles for fine hair it is that you end up choosing, what’s important is for you to choose one which will make you feel and look your best – so go ahead and try which one will make you feel like the true glam diva that you really are!

Four Things your Wedding Shoes Must Have

2009-07-17T04:26:00.000-07:00

Author: Walter Roberts

Because you want your wedding to be perfect in every way, it is important to pay close attention to your choice in wedding shoes. Though seemingly one of the little things about your wedding, less worrisome than say the cake or where to seat everyone, wedding shoes are just as important for many different reasons. Think of everything you will be doing in these shoes. You will do things like:

• Dance
• Walk Down The Aisle
• Take Photographs
• Greet Attendees
• Cut your Cake

With everything you have to do in your wedding shoes, it is extremely important that you take great care in choosing the right shoes. Therefore, here are four things that your wedding shoes must have.

Comfort

If your wedding shoes are not comfortable, you will find that spending that many hours in them and doing all the things you must do at your wedding to be unbearable. While looks are important as well, comfort should be at the top of your list of things you wedding shoes must have. Try them on, walk around the store, could you see yourself spending hours in these particular shoes?

Heel Height

The height of the heel on your wedding shoes makes all the difference in the world. In most cases, your shoe type should be picked out before you even have your wedding dress fitted. This is because the dress is fitted around the shoes. Stilettos are often the highest pair of heels you can get, if you do not wear these often, it is best to go with ballet slipper, kitten heels, or platform shoes. It is not a wise idea to choose stilettos if you are not used to wearing them.

Fabric Type

You do not have to go with the traditional fabric of wedding shoes, such as satin or silk. Your wedding shoes can be of any fabric you would like. However, make sure that you have the wedding shoes done, if they have to be customized, before the dress fitting.

Style

Your wedding shoes must portray your style. Not only your personal style, but also the style of the wedding itself and your wedding dress. You do not have to conform to tradition; it is after all your wedding. Make sure your wedding shoes fit your style in every way. Remember, it is your day.

You Must Try Them On

It is not good to buy a pair of wedding shoes without trying them on. What happens if that style does not fit right? What if you are not comfortable in these shoes? Then you will have to start all over again. It is best to try on your wedding shoes in the exact same environment as your wedding will be. For example, because you will be on your feet during the day of your wedding, it is best to try on your shoes after being on your feet all day.

The more you are on your feet, the larger your feet become due to swelling, so this is when you should try on your wedding shoes. Furthermore, if you are wearing hose or stockings during your wedding, these should be worn when trying on the shoes as well.

Tips for Shopping for Sandals

2009-07-16T04:48:00.000-07:00

Author: Lee Judkins There are many reasons to buy sandals. Sandals are generally comfortable to wear, are easy to manage (you can usually just put them on and go), promote foot health, and can add fun and excitement to your outfit. Unless someone does the shopping for you (not a good idea), there is no getting around shopping for sandals. The tips listed below can help make the activity as productive as possible, so that you end up with a pair of sandals that are just perfect for you. The Basics You shouldn't consider shopping for sandals a mindless activity that requires no forethought. You are going to spend your hard-earned money, so it is only fitting that you put some thought in shopping for sandals. The following are the very least you should do when shopping for sandals:
-Schedule sufficient time. Plan to spend some quality time looking for sandals. Rushing through the selection process can result in you ending up with a pair of sandals that will not provide you the most benefit and use.
-Shop in the afternoon. Our feet swell as the day progresses, so for the best fit you shouldn't try on sandals before noon.
-Browse several different styles. It is always a good idea to try on several pair of sandals, even if you fall in love with the first pair.
-Try before you buy. Make sure you actually try on sandals before you buy them. Shoes tend to look different on your feet than when they are on the shelf.
-Get approval from your doctor, if necessary. People with certain health conditions, such as diabetes, have special concerns for their feet and should obtain approval from their health care practitioner before buying sandals. The doctor may also recommend a specific type of sandal. Shop for Use While you are having fun browsing through the different styles, keep how you plan to use the sandals in mind. This is especially true if you want to wear multi-purpose sandals. Sandals are designed with various distinguishing characteristics. Some high heel dress sandals are suitable for minimal walking. Many beach sandals, such as flip flops, offer very little ankle support. Sport sandals tend to have more support features. Realizing these differences can help you determine what style will work best for you. When considering where you are planning to wear the sandals, color is also a factor to think about. For example, if you are planning to buy a single pair of sandals, you probably should choose a neutral shade. Sandals in shades of brown, black, and navy tend to go with a wider selection of colors.
Don't Forget Comfort With all the appealing styles available, it's easy to be drawn to sandals that are most attractive on your feet. While good looks are important in a sandal, you should not neglect to consider the level of comfort. The sole of the sandal is important because it offers the main support for your foot. It is recommended that the sole of your sandal is wider than your foot. Birkenstock sandals are designed with a thicker sole and are just brand of sandals that offer significant comfort features.

History of the T-shirt

2009-07-13T04:30:00.000-07:00

Author: T-Shirt Magazine

Who started wearing t-shirts and how did they become so cool? It all started in the early 1900s durring WWI. U.S. soldiers realized the Europeans had comfortable looking cotton shirts on and they figured those must be much better than the wool uniforms they were wearing. Next thing you know cotton shirts shaped like the letter T emerged into the battlefield. Another claim is that t-shirts were first worn by U.S. Navy sailors out on sea. It's no surprise that there are various claims of the t-shirt's origin. Either way, t-shirts were originally just worn as undershirts and weren't considered fashionable at all. They were even specially produced for a college football team to be used as sweat absorbers. Most would agree that the shirts were given the name t-shirt because of their shape, but even in this case there are other claims. Some claim they were refered to as "training shirts" as they were worn by training soldiers. Another crazy claim is that tee is short for "amputee" refering to the short sleeves. It's crazy how all of these claims kind of make sense but no one knows the definite truth. One thing's for sure; for a while t-shirts were worn as undershirts and for the specific purpose of staying cool. Funny thing is, it was actually considered shocking to see someone wearing a t-shirt as an overshirt. It was unacceptable to society and the equivalent of walking down the block with nothing but boxers on. Not until after WWII did people begin to accept the t-shirt completely, as t-shirts were used durring presidential campaigns. The t-shirt didn't become so popular until it was worn by pop culture figures like James Dean and Marlon Brando on the big screen. It all of a sudden became a status symbol and everybody wanted to be like these guys. Soon enough people started making t-shirts with all types of designs and images on them, and the assortment ranged from tourist tees to popular cartoon character tees. The popularity of the t-shirt continued to soar as famous rock bands and other celebs wore them normally. Some trends like tye dying emerged in the 1960s, followed by a more current and ongoing trend of message t-shirts, which started in the UK in the late 80s, and the more recent all over prints. Some t-shirts even have LED lights integrated into them. Now the t-shirt is one of the most common articles of clothing, and arguably the most worn garment in the world. Thousands of t-shirts are created each day, thanks to today's technology, and a t-shirt lover or entrepreneur is born every minute. The t-shirt's rise to fame will continue for ages, eventually making it the undisputed best apparel product of all time.

Airbrush Makeup Mechanism

2009-07-11T15:41:00.000-07:00

Author: dinair

To look beautiful is the dream of every woman because women love to be praised. Why shouldn’t she dream?? It’s her right, every person has some elements of beauty which needs to be polished and groomed.

Makeup plays very important role in the beauty of a woman. Beauty and Makeup serve to one another. They form the most integral bond together. You can become beautiful by applying the right makeup. Makeup application in itself is an art which can be conquered easily.

What you need is the right source of information for makeup and beauty tips. So first thing here needs to be addressed is selection of appropriate makeup technique – whether we need to still rely on old traditional makeup techniques or we should move to new emerging makeup techniques which celebrities and models use?

Now there is another choice when it comes to airbrushing makeup. What is that? Airbrush makeup is a great alternative to regular make up. Airbrush Makeup leaves the skin looking flawless and silky smooth and has long lasting staying power. There are special foundations especially designed for airbrush application. Applying airbrush makeup requires the use of certain tools to get that look you desire. Foundations, blush and eyes shadow can all be used when applying make up using the airbrush method.

Traditionally, the makeup sponge and brush sufficed for applications of makeup. Now, the airbrush has indeed become a highly appealing application for the specialized makeup artist. Contact free application of makeup with the almost imperceptible medium of air - along with the significant benefits that this method brings - have helped lead to a rapidly growing interest in this technique.

Experience is the best teacher, and those that have been around the longest will have perfected their manufacturing process. Dinair has been around since 1981 and they have specialized in airbrush makeup ever since. They became the best by focusing on one thing: Being the best manufacturer of airbrush makeup, and airbrush compressors.

A professional makeup artist will want a larger compressor that won’t over heat due to prolonged use. It has more power which is great when doing several people because you have the option of adding a second airbrush. Airbrushing foundation can be done in as little as 5 minutes and it looks flawless. Spending time with the system I discovered the secrets that airbrushing holds.

The airbrush gun takes the tiniest, most fragile foundation molecule and oxidizes it into a high opacity. In other words, one can wear the sheerest of sheer foundations and have virtually perfect skin. When I took the airbrush foundation and tried to apply it by traditional methods (a sponge and my finger tips) it was too watery to work with. Yet the same foundation passed through the air system takes on a new characteristic and a strength that I have not seen in the twenty-six years I've been painting faces.

When the average person hears the word airbrush, we think of a car being painted, or the final stages of prints for magazines that are finessed into perfection. Today, these processes are accomplished digitally. The model's print (who already happens to be stunningly gorgeous) is color corrected, her teeth are made whiter, her pupils enhanced, her lashes made thicker, her skin tweaked to perfection, her legs thinned out and elongated.

It's quite an artificial process and it leads me to the conclusion that I … or any farm animal in Bruce County, for that matter… could probably model for Vogue. However, what would you say if some of these adjustments could be made on your face instead of on your picture? I said prove it!

Making Your Clothes Look Good and Last Longer

2009-07-10T02:44:00.000-07:00

Author: Ron Maier

The cost of quality clothes has gone up and with the economy as it is, we all want to make sure we protect our clothes – after all, they are an investment. So what does it take to properly care for your clothing and ensure its longevity? To start, learning how to wash your clothes properly is important. Remember to read the care labels of your clothes before even doing laundry, some clothes cannot be washed but can only be dry-cleaned. For those articles of clothing that can be washed, some are not recommended for the dryer, but rather need to be washed with cold water, or not go in the washing machine at all. Now, separate the colored clothes from the whites, this way your colored clothes don’t bleed into your whites. When setting the machine at respective temperatures, you're better off choosing warm water to wash the clothes, cold to rinse. Using hot water to wash clothes is not only more expensive, but it should not be used to wash cotton clothing. Next of course you follow all the washing rules regarding load size and amount of detergent. But another tip to help keep your clothes that have color lasting longer is to turn them inside out. Once your clothes are washed, now to store them. Most articles of clothing are best when hung up properly in your closet. What does it mean to hang them properly? To start, make sure your closets aren't overcrowded. If your closet is jammed full, hanging your clothes may make them wrinkleier. Second, there are some things that should never be hung up. One of these items is a sweater. Sweaters will sag and get pulled out of shape when put on a typical hanger. If you really want to preserve your sweaters look, fold it with a sheet of tissue paper laid inside. This will help keep them from wrinkling. If you are pressed for space, sweaters can be folded lengthwise and hung on a wooden hanger. Place a sheet of tissue paper between the bar and the sweater to prevent creases. When it comes to hanging up shirts, there is only one rule to remember and that is do not use wire hangers. Wire hangers are the enemy of all clothing. If you have had your clothes dry-cleaned, as soon as it is returned, make sure to immediately remove it from the hanger. The hangers can be collected and returned to your cleaners to be used again. A proper hanger should be curved to follow the slope of your shoulder. Once on the hanger, button the second button from the top so it retains its shape while on the hanger. Now for other rules of hanging clothes. Be sure to read the requirements on your clothing to find out if it should be hung in a particular way. Every outfit has special requirements. For hanging blazers, leather jackets etc, you should look out for heavy wooden or plastic clothes folding hangers, that can give your ensemble that extra support to carry off their weight. Pants demand a proper folding style, which is placing both the legs parallel one on the top of the other. While hanging them ensure that there is enough space between different trousers in the cupboard. Right folding of clothes is as important as proper hanging. There is a proper folding style that will help your clothes help retain the luster and crispness of the cloth and the hassles of ironing every time is reduced because of no or less wrinkle development. Knitwear, including tops, pants, skirts, and dresses, should usually be folded. Casual pants and shorts made from rugged materials, such as jeans, khakis, and corduroys, also can be folded. And you should fold long evening dresses; particularly those weighted with ornamentation, because hanging can distort their shape. Practicing these simple steps will help you protect your clothing investment while maintaining your clothes neat and tidy look each time you are ready to wear them.

Women’S Shoes – Why They Are Never Enough?

2009-07-06T05:17:00.000-07:00

Author: Karunakar All talks on equality between men and women come to a halt when it comes to women’s shoes. There seems to be some sort of intrinsic magnetic attraction between a woman and shoes. Perhaps it’s the reason why most women find an irresistible urge to buy that enticing pair of shoes in the display window without considering the price, consequences or outfit she’ll wear with them. The urge to buy fashionable shoes is so strong in women, that many don’t even care if they need the shoes or not and whether they are in their budget. They simply find ultimate solace in buying the most fashionable and trendiest pair of shoes in town! 'I see a pair of shoes I adore, and it doesn't matter if they have them in my size. I buy them anyway,' Hollywood actress Keira Knightley once said. Introduction on womens shoes Women’s shoes have progressed form being merely practical and protective coverings for the feet to creative and artistic interpretations of fashions, cultures and styles. A woman’s shoes also denote the class she belongs to, her attitude, her mood for the day and in a very subtle manner, they convey sexual messages to members of the opposite sex. With so much emphasis on shoes and such an intense bond between a woman and her heels, it’s only expected that no shop is passed without being scanned or any websites are left without being trawled by most women, with a similar and unspoken aim of buying the most fashionable and perfect pair of shoes or high heels possible. How women’s shoes fashion/style has changed over the years: The first shoes ever made have been dated back to about 40,000 years ago according to historians. Of course we can safely assume they didn’t look anything like the heels you saw on the high street last week, but they were shoes none the less. 40 000 years ago, shoes were merely a means of protection for the foot and were completely practical. By the middle Ages, the look and the feel of the shoes improved (according to our perception of what good shoes look like) and they were made with more care and designed to fit the foot more comfortably. Technological advancements of the 20th century led to the development of better shoes in general and more aesthetic women’s shoes, in particular. A mix of cultures and a global trend of sharing styles and designs began which led to the onset of shoe fashion and the shoe industry. A significant reason for the change in style of women’s shoes over the years is the gradual transformation in the purpose of wearing shoes. Changes in the social, cultural and economic milieu of the society and civilization has led to the steady change in the purpose of being well-shod from just protection, to functionality and practicality, to mix of style and sensibility, to style statement, sex appeal and simply shock value as depicted in celebrity women’s shoes today. Types of women shoes: There is a huge variety of tremendously beautiful women’s shoes in today. Of all the types of women’s shoes, high heel shoes can righteously be called the most stylish, sensational and popular type of womens shoes . With a heel height ranging from 2 inches to a whopping 8 inches, high heel shoes are considered the ultimate in sex appeal when it comes to women’s shoes. Owing to the popularity of high heels, shoe designers have created various types of heels such as dagger-like stiletto heels, wedge heels, stacked heels and low heels, kitten heel shoes etc. The other popular types of women’s shoes include sandals, mules, ankle boots, the fetish thigh-high boots, backless mules, athletic style sneaker boots, ankle-strap shoes, pumps etc. The types of women’s shoes can also be categorized according to the purpose of the shoes. For example you can buy smarter, dress shoes for a party, more sturdy and stable work shoes, dance shoes, platform shoes, boots, unisex athletic shoes, comfortable orthopedic shoes and slippers for those cold winter mornings. Why women love to buy shoes? Women’s shoes have lot of sexual connotations. When they buy a new pair of shoes, women secretly desire to catch the attention of the opposite sex or at least look better than the girl standing next to her (although few will admit it). Since variety is the spice of life, a great way to keep the guys at your finger tips is to make sure you head out in show stopping, flamboyant heels every time you leave the house. Unlike clothes, women can buy any shoes that their heart desires without being left feeling overweight, too skinny, ugly, etc. Shoes don’t give women a complex like some fashions do. They’ll never make you feel tall or short either. A beautiful pair of shoes is always likely to compliment a woman. Moreover, the right pair of women’s shoes has the capability of making her feel sexy, elegant and gorgeous. With the constant changes in society and the general evolution of social rights, Women have taken a far more authoritative, opinionated and equal stance than they used to. With status and equity, women have a new found power that pushes them to be different, to be the best they can be. Because of this, they want shoes that fit best with any and every type of outfit, occasion and event that they attend. Further, they do not at all wish to look mundane by wearing the same shoes every time and rather want their shoes to represent their attitude and power.

Fashion Tips – Lose a Few Kilos’ Instantly Here’s How Part 1

2009-07-05T02:26:00.000-07:00

Author: Sacha Tarkovsky
Any women can look slimmer instantly simply by careful selection of the clothes you wear and literally knock a few kilos off in an instant. Follow the 12 simple fashion tips below and lose a few kilos instantly!

1. Focus on one color only
Monochromatic dressing (dressing in one color) makes anyone look taller, thinner and leaner.
2. Dark colors
It’s a fact: Darker colors make you look slimmer than lighter colors. Black and blue for example, are great colors to use for an instant slimmer look.
3. Color Combos
When wearing multiple colors keep them close in intensity to each other. For example, dark blue and black .
4. Darker colors go at the bottom
At the bottom of your outfit, make use of darker colors this will give you an appearance of being taller and make your hips appear slimmer.
5. Heels
High heels with a thin sole automatically makes your legs look longer, you taller and slimmer as a consequence.
6. Legs
Legs will look longer and slimmer if you match your hoise to your shoes and skirts. With a print skirt, use the main color to find hoise with a matching similar tone.
7. Hosiery
Always wear a neutral color hose or match your hosiery to the lighter color in the shoes and never do the opposite i.e. wear hoise that is darker than the lightest color in your footwear.
8. Don’t bisect a fuller figure
Choose a longer jacket or blouse, and wear it untucked. This will give a leaner look by taking attention away from your waist.
9. Heavy fabrics make you look bigger!
Never wear clothes made out of heavy fabrics, they will simply make you look fatter, so go for finer, silkier thinner fabrics.
10. Wear clothes that fit
Buy clothing that is not too small and fits you. Don’t try and be a size 14 if you are a size 16. There are plenty of women who get hung up on size and simply try smaller sizes that hug and make them look bigger – go for the size you are not the size you would like to be. By doing this you will actually look thinner and leaner
11. Vertical lines
Always make you look slimmer. Single breasted jackets, stripes and ironed creases in trousers will visually slim your body by dividing it into vertical sections and the closer the lines are the leaner and slimmer your look will be.

Trendy Men's Fashion Tips

2009-06-23T22:52:00.000-07:00

Author: Simon Merkel

Looking good means more than having a fit, cut body. It also means possessing a style that's all your own. Mens fashion can be everlasting using permanent and classic styles. Men’s fashion and style interest men more today than ever as they realize that looking good is an asset in every aspect of their lives: business, personal, or social. Some men feel confident enough to do this for themselves; for those who are less confident an image consultant can be employed to give help and advice.

If the look is perfect on the runway, that doesn’t mean that it’s perfect for you as a complete copy. While you should use designer’s best trends to guide your look and give it some style, mix-and-match your basics.

Use your favorites from seasons before for a more affordable style that’s completely on-trend. Men’s interview dressing has been fairly static over the years. Many men want fashion freedom, but what they want to wear is a big step from what they wear daily today. It is best to start slowly and build up to total fashion freedom.

Don’t be a slave to flashy branding. Your clothes can have more defined style without necessarily having a logo on them, and when your pieces are subtly stylish, you can wear them more often. This is essential for those of us who tend to hang onto our favorite pair of jeans. A good collection of basics will help you highlight major fashion finds, and can give your trendy pieces more polished style.

A fashion victim is someone who wants to follow all the latest men’s fashion trends regardless of whether they suit his body shape, looks, or age. If you love fashion, that doesn’t mean you need to layer on the accessories. Choose a simple pair of shades, a man bag and a great pair of shoes to round out your wardrobe. There’s no need for a watch, bracelets and necklaces worn all together. Don’t try and make so much of an effort to look fashionable that you end up overdoing it. Keep a good balance of basic and fashionable clothes in your wardrobe. As a rule of thumb, not more than half of your wardrobe should consist of trendy clothes, or worse, clothes that are out of style. Dress to impress for business or pleasure with men's fashion tips from Men's Fitness.

Men Fashion Tips

Style, Fashion and Tennis

2009-06-18T01:26:00.000-07:00

Author: Justin Morris Tennis players and their apparel have changed drastically over the past one hundred years. This is especially the case for women who once had to play in large bustles and petticoats. But it isn’t just comfort that tennis players have evolved into, it is also fashion and performance. With new types of performance fabrics being created from fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex – which breathe unlike traditional textiles allowing you to stay cool and dry even during the height of summer, tennis clothing has become functional in addition to fashionable. They are also practical in that these high tech fabrics hold their shape and color much better than their cotton counterparts, allowing you to look good before, during, and after your match, and their high durability will allow you to continue to look good in the future. While tennis apparel for many years came in the colors of white or white, so that when one sweated it couldn’t be seen – today tennis apparel comes in numerous bright colors and prints. Tennis players are enjoying more and more the versatility they are offered off the court, during warm up and during competition. Most tennis players own a warm-up outfit, which is typically a two piece suit consisting of long pants and a long sleeved top. A warm-up outfit helps the athlete stay warm and get loose before a match, and it is also the traditionally preferred attire for arrival at the court. Tradition also holds that warm-up suits should be removed during the actual match unless it happens to be a very cold day. Yes, there is still tradition in tennis apparel, despite the evolution of fabrics. What are some of these traditions? During a match, men should wear tucked shirts and tennis shorts, although more and more the untucked look is becoming a presence in professional and amateur tennis. Women should wear short sleeved or sleeveless shirts paired with skirts or skorts – shorts that have styling that resembles a traditional skirt. In some places, such as country clubs or in certain countries, proper tennis attire is very important. It is important to note that the traditional tennis attire is still alive and well in some places, particularly at some tennis and country clubs. If you are invited to play as a guest at a club, check with the club or your host in order to be certain that your tennis clothes are appropriate and fitting with their dress code. Beyond the regular tennis apparel are the tennis accessories. No tennis outfit is complete without the ever-important accessories. There is the very important tennis shoe. As with most shoes, the tennis shoe is designed specifically for tennis and it is important that you wear such shoes on the court. Not only will such shoes perform better, but they will not have black or dark colored soles, which can leave scuffs on the court and are therefore banned from many courts And what about the sweatbands, hats, wristbands and such? These too are important as they will keep the sweat out of your face and your hands dry so that you can keep a good grip on your racket. A good sun visor will help protect your eyes from the sun above and shade your face. Yes, in many ways the apparel and fashion of tennis has evolved and changed and in many ways it is much the same. While there is flexibility in some areas of tennis wear, there is practicality and tradition in others. The most important thing is to be comfortable and enjoy the game.

Casual is defined as relaxed, comfortable, sporty, laid-back and informal. Now, if that’s the case, I don’t see a problem with wearing casual clothes clubbing. Obviously, we want to look good when we go clubbing because of the fact that we either want to attract the opposite sex, look classy or perhaps keep our image intact. Casual wear has become smart and trendy in this new world. Nowadays, many designers create casual wear so as to meet the needs of the workers in terms of clothing. Casual wear is a type of dress code that emphasizes uniformity, comfort, and personal looks over presentation. If you are buying clothing online you need to be careful how you buy stuff and make sure the website you are using is secure from hackers and internet identity thieves. It might also be good to make sure you have the right size as well. It is sometimes hard to determine the colors of clothes online as well. Formal clothes are sometimes looked at as business casual in some work environments. When you go to work in your office, ensure you comprehend fully what they mean by "business casual". Here are some general rules and tips to achieve that business casual look for you. Also, consider the cut of the suit or outfit. Pick items that can be mixed and matched for variety. Purchase some shirts that can go with different pants. It's important to take into consideration the pattern on the slacks, shirts or skirts. Your wardrobe will be more versatile if you choose plainer ones. Again as with the shoes, it is practical to get neutral colors and soft tones. This makes mixing and matching so easy. Purchase a few jackets. These will also add a formal feel when needed. Well most women do not need to be told of the clothes that are in 'vogue'! We also do have a knack on picking up the latest fashion from the television series or what Angelina Jolie is wearing on her way to her film sets! Long live paparazzi! Jokes apart, follow the magazines and keep an eye on the store shelves and on what people are wearing on the streets, you will get a good idea on what's on! Casual outerwear comes in all kinds of styles and comfort wear making it easy for you to withstand the cold and the wind. A large variety of denim and leather jackets, suede coats and vests with wonderful details and varied textures make for stylish clothing. Hats, belts, and gloves accessorize and accentuate the smart casuals to look chic and hip.

Author: Jackie de Burca

Countless amounts of people say that they feel that they would have fit in so well with that era and really blossomed there.

The downside of this can be when you want to find something fresh like going out dresses that somehow combine vintage style with fresh and new!

This summer there is happily many high street and designers collections inspired by vintage clothing. Pinstripes, quirky prints and polka dots are huge. Vintage reinventions that are fun and comfortable to wear, yet stylish, so lovely floaty dresses are a great choice. Also what is great is the creativity that goes along with collecting vintage or vintage reinvented clothes.

Naturally your vintage era influence will be your driving force behind your choices and as you go along building your collection there are always staple foundations to any collection.

Of course there are some pieces that are eternally in style even for those who don't see themselves as vintage lovers, these are the likes of off the shoulder items and lace up boots.

There have been lots of reinvention of haute couture vintage style dresses and shoes, even sunglasses. An iconic inspiration in this end of the vintage market is of course Jackie Onassis, or Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Considered to be the most stylish First Lady in history, she has been copied by women everywhere. Her style combined youthful grace with ladylike formality, which was made easier for her as she was born into high society New York, had a bluebood type upbringing and a huge admiration for French couture.

Some of Jackie's favourite items were shift dresses, pearls, white gloves, pea coats with big buttons worn with matching pill box hats. For an evening outing, she loved to wear magnificent floor-length gowns mostly by Valentino or Givenchy, which she wore with elegant elbow length gloves. She relied a lot also on American designer Oleg Cassini who designed about 300 outfits for her.

Out and about you could see her wearing oversized sunglasses which are glamorous and wealthy. What helped Onassis look elegant consistently was her excellent posture which is something that can be practiced by anyone. She also chose her materials and colour matches wisely. She loved her strands of pearls, whether they were real or not!

Nowadays you have the big advantage of being able to research all the styles available, to see what people are recommending and what not, to spend time in the comfort of our own homes creating our new wardrobes and looks. Jackie O did not have this advantage but you have, so imagine how great you can look!

Dress to Look Thinner

2009-06-08T23:58:00.000-07:00

Author: Adam Khan

Quite a few strategies can help you to achieve a sleek and slimmer look without the dreaded tasks of dieting and exercising. What you wear and how you wear it are two essential avenues to explore. Let’s tackle the issue of how you wear your clothing. Contrary to the belief that bigger clothing will disguise the fact that your figure carries a few extra pounds, it actually makes you look larger. Wearing a size 14, when in fact you only wear a size 12, may hide the fact that your tummy boasts the same span of inches as your bust, but it also makes you look like a size 14 with the expense of imaginary pounds. Equally incorrect is the fallacy that wearing a smaller size will make your physique appear smaller than it is. Wearing a size smaller than you should shows off every extra bit of fat you have. The correct clothing size may not take off or hide those extra pounds, but it certainly won’t add any. Possibly some of the best advice to looking thinner echoes the words we often heard in our childhood: stand up straight. With your shoulders back, your head held high, and your back straight, you will not only appear self-confident, but also thinner. Now let’s tackle the issue of what you wear. Create an illusion of slimness with a few easy to follow guidelines: Wear medium to high heels to elongate your physique and add length rather than pounds. Never wear pleats if the tummy needs to keep itself inconspicuous. If the legs and thighs need a slimmer look, then wear narrow cut pants. Baggy pants simply add pounds to your appearance. Avoid unsightly bunching up. Wear bias-cut skirts and dresses that provide a smoother fit. Generous thighs can readily be disguised by wearing a straight skirt or dress that stops at the knee. Generous thighs can also be disguised by wearing a larger top and very streamlined pants. Boatneck tops and dresses, as well as small colorful scarves, will draw the eyes upward and away from the torso and thighs. Go for shaped outfits rather than clingy. Clingy outfits do exactly that — cling to every bit of bulge and show it off for everyone to see. Remember to express yourself in the best way possible — hide your shortcomings, show off your assets, and smile!

Tips of Matching Handbags with Your Body Style

Tips of Matching Handbags with Your Body Style
How greatly important bags to women? In fact, a woman’s handbag is a reflection of her personality and moods. What kind of bag you choose can express your individuality. Besides, carrying a handbags with us adds the feeling of safety. Believe it or not, we have to admit that we always feel a little unnatural when we go out without a bag, excepting that you just go somewhere near your house. What’s more, bag is not only an accessory for holding things, it can make a fashion statement of who you are. However, matching handbags with the dress or body style is really a daunting task. There are many styles, brands, and materials from which to choose. You need not spend a fortune on a handbag; but you will want to determine what you want, the level of quality you require, and how to get the most bag for the money you spend. Before purchasing a bag, spend some time observing what other women are carrying to get a feel for which styles most appeal to you. There are also many online shopping venues where you can compare different styles. While, there is still something you must know to choose handbags to perfectly fit your dress and style. You must choose the handbag, which perfectly suits your body and personality. Style and color should also be taken into consideration. My personal point of views are as follows: First, I would suggest you just carry one classic, quality bag. Since you will seem neat and clear. While, if there are really too many things you have to carry with, you’d better bear one and hold one. That means you can take a shoulder bag and a hand-held bag with you. Do remember that they should comes in different sizes and styles. Thus you would appear vivid and lively. Some women have one basic handbag for all occasions. Changing purses to match your attire, or your mood, can really give you a lift. Second, the rule that handbag, shoes, and belt should always match is not really relevant today. The only rules I subscribe to are that accessories should complement each other, and they should be appropriate for a particular occasion. Have fun with style and go with the bags you like and that suit your personality and mood. Third, I suggest you look into the mirror before you go out with a bag. Actually, it’s worthy to spend time on doing that. Make sure you features OK with your total style. Are you a person with a plus size body? If this is your body type, which means you have extra large body, you also should stay away from small handbag. Moreover, even if you will use other bags like shoulder bags, you have to make sure that it has a long shoulder strap. Using larger handbags however better improves your personality. Whatever your body and style type, the available choices for this accessory is endless. The key is that how you match. Agree me or not?

Dressing Outside of Your Comfort Zone

Dressing Outside of Your Comfort Zone

Author: Adam Khan

Dressing outside of your comfort zone can be both scary and exciting at the same time. Scary because you are not sure how the people around you will react to clothes that are not considered "you", and exciting because you know that a change of style will boost your confidence. o how do you step out? Color me beautiful Something as simple as picking colors that you don't usually go for can make a huge difference. When you feel comfortable in a certain color, you tend to wear it all the time, which can sometimes make you look and feel the same as you always do. This is exactly what you are trying to break away from. Next time you're out shopping, explore the colors and pick out items that you never thought you would like and you may just be pleasantly surprised. Sometimes you will read or hear that a certain color doesn’t suit you. Don't take that statement as the only truth out there. Explore and discover what you like and what looks good on you as an individual. Try it on, even if you don't like it at first If you're up for a bit of a change and feel like a bit of adventure, when rummaging through the clothing racks on your next shopping trip, pick items that you know you would never ever wear. Take them into the fitting room and see, in living color, how they look on you. It's always a good idea to drag a friend (and not your hubby) along for some honest advice. Your shopping trip may turn into an adventure of great finds. Be fashionable but don't overdo it Do try on the latest fashions, but don't wear them all at the same time. If the season's trend is animal print, look for one item of clothing in that print that can be worn to accessories and compliment your outfit. Don't dress in cheetah from head to toe.

80s fancy dress

2009-06-04T04:39:00.000-07:00

80s fancy dress fashion icons. 80s fancy dress include outfits worn by Madonna, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana.

Author: Joe Denver

ET Return of the Jedi Raiders of the lost ark Ghostbusters Back to the future Batman Rain man Fatal attraction The shining The karate kid The terminator Miami vice Madonna Duran Duran Michael Jackson Live aid MTV and music videos Great films, sexy musicians and elegant fashion divas abound in the eighties. 80s fancy dress include outfits worn by Madonna, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana. Character 80s fancy dress would include a Harrison Ford ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ outfit and a host of star wars characters. A costume for four would be the ghostbusting team of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis. You get to wear a beige jumpsuit with a Ghostbusters logo and a proton pack and gun. Great fun to slime the guests with some green goo! Eighties fashion statements: Shoulder pads Ladies dresses, sweaters, tops and T shirts had large shoulder pads that had survived the seventies and were carried through to the eighties. Dallas and Dynasty’ glamorous looks helped define the eighties power women, along with the more moderate Margaret Thatcher’s suits. Knitwear Eighties women loved knitwear. Soft and fluffy cardigans completed an outfit. Ornately decorated sweaters were worn with skirts or trousers. Colours were bright and bold: Purples, blacks, fuchsia pinks, emerald greens and winter whites. Large fluffy mohair sweaters and cardigans were decorated with sequins, beads and appliqué. Motifs ranged from large elegant satin designs to small funky cotton motifs. Batwing sleeves were easy to wear and they made a comeback. Beads and appliqué were prolific on evening dresses and also on T shirts and knitwear. Underwear Camisoles became popular underwear for the ladies and Calvin Klein briefs were popular for the men. Underwear and lingerie took a more important role in the wardrobe. Tights and stockings were coloured and patterned. Accessories Large plastic sunglasses came in a range of colours. Madonna wore fishnet tights and fingerless gloves and tight laced corsets. This sparked a market for corsets for eveningwear and lingerie. Fluorescent beads, glitter mousse, Dr Martens, one earring and plum coloured hair was often worn together. Make-up Bold pink cheek bones and painted eyes were the hallmark of the eighties. The eighties’ ladies spent hours in front of the mirror perfecting their make-up. Eyeshadow came in any colour with bright blues and greens being favourite. Plenty of eyeliner and a shiny red lipstick to finish off. The 80s fancy dress can take in any length of dress or skirt and most colours of make-up and accessories. Carry on the bold bright theme of the 1970s and perhaps add some fishnet stockings and fingerless gloves and you can’t go far wrong.

Fashion After 40

2009-06-01T23:28:00.000-07:00

With so many designers and trends targeting the svelte body of the twenty-something, is it possible to look fashionable as the years pass and your body begins to tell the tale?

Author: Adam Khan

With so many designers and trends targeting the svelte body of the twenty-something, is it possible to look fashionable as the years pass and your body begins to tell the tale? Absolutely! In fact, with a little ingenuity and sleight-of-hand, it's easy to be fashionable and stylish regardless of how many candles are on your birthday cake. Now let's be frank: unless you work out religiously, you probably don't have the same body at 40, 50, or 60 that you had at 25. Time, gravity, and pregnancy all take their toll on the female body, as does menopause. And when you mix a mature body with fashions obviously made for a younger person, it can lead to self-doubt, frustration, and confusion. But it doesn't have to be that way. Getting older also means getting wiser, and like a fine bottle of wine, you're improving with age. So you don't have the same body as those twenty-somethings you see in magazines or on TV. So what? Would you REALLY trade everything you've learned since your twenties for the body you had back then? Probably no sooner than you'd like to re-live puberty, thank you very much. So how can you be fashionable without wearing all those body-conscious clothes so en vogue these days? By remembering the “3 C's” when you dress: clean, classic, and coverage. CLEAN Clean lines create a clean silhouette which makes the body appear more youthful by skimming the trouble spots instead of calling attention to them. Complicated cuts, seams, and details usually call for a killer body to pull off, so if you haven't got it, steer clear of those styles. CLASSIC Classic styles are called classic because they remain in style year after year. Why? Because they look good on so many bodies! Sheathes, A-line skirts, flat front pants — all tend to flatter a variety of shapes. What's more, because they remain in style year after year, classics are easier on the budget than trends. COVERAGE Covering appropriately is the key to aging gracefully. If your upper arms, thighs, and décolletage have all seen better days, it's time to cover them up a bit instead of sharing the wear-and-tear with the world. Now I'm not talking about draping yourself in a tent for the rest of your life. Far from it. I'm talking about wearing short sleeves instead of going sleeveless, Capris instead of shorts, and modest necklines instead of plunging necklines. Now I know that covering up the parts that used to turn heads and draw envy can be tough to take for some women. Which is precisely why beautiful jewelry and fine fabrics are the revenge tools of choice for many well-dressed mature women. So your bustline isn't as perky as your twenty-something daughter or granddaughter. So what? Add a beautiful necklace and draw envious glances from women of all ages. Don't have the same backside you did as a teen? Encase it in a fine fabric and see how many men go out of their way to hold the door open for you. People will look where you focus their attention, so use that knowledge to redirect their interest to the parts you want them to see. Or, as actress Cybil Shepard once said, “I like to flaunt what I have left.” Don't flip through fashion magazines and bemoan the fact that you don't look like the models. Instead, look at the various fashion elements to determine what will and what won't work for you. Are printed scarves all the rage this year? Grab a few and be trendy. Are mini skirts the style of choice? Pass and bank your money. See how easy this is? “A woman has the age she deserves,” Coco Chanel once said. You don't have to go under cover and dress “like a little old lady” just because that's what your mother or grandmother did. You're your own person. If you remember to dress in clean lines and classic styles and cover appropriately, you can still be fashionable — AND draw long, lingering glances from handsome men — whatever your age. And if THAT doesn't make you feel like a blushing girl again, then honey, nothing I can say will!

Six Fashion Tips for Short Women

Even if you're not supermodel tall, you can still wear the latest fashions and look great. Short women have some advantages in the fashion world. You can only add so much length to a pair of pants or a skirt by letting down the hemline, but you can take up a pair of pants as much as you need to get a perfect fit. If you are a shorter woman, your goal is most likely to give the illusion of length. This can be done by tricking the eye using clever fashion techniques. Here are some of the best fashion tips for short women: Lengthen the line of your body with monochromatic colors If you wear a different color on top than you do on the bottom, you tend to cut your body in half visually which makes you look shorter. This is particularly true if one color is light and the other dark. Instead try wearing a monochromatic outfit in a single shade of shirt and pants or shirt and skirt. This creates a long, lean line that adds the illusion of height to your figure. Wear dark colors Dark colors, particularly if monochromatic, add the illusion of height. A black top and slim black pants with some carefully chosen accessories and moderate to high heels in black gives a long, lean sophisticated line that's perfect for a variety of occasions. Dark colors will also make you look slimmer. Avoid shorter, flared pants and Capri pants You'll appear to be taller if you wear a pants length that covers the shoe. Capri pants can also break your height and make you appear shorter. Straight pants are most flattering to a shorter figure. Avoid flared pants legs if you want to appear taller. Wear higher waisted pants and skirts for maximum height High-waisted pants can add the illusion of height and greater leg length. Avoid hip pant styles if you're shorter in stature. Choose a thinner belt Thick, bulky belts tend to cut the length of your body. Opt for a thinner belt if you wear one at all. Also avoid belts in a color that contrasts with the shade of your outfit or one that has too much detailing. You want to maintain a clean, simple line.

Printed T-shirts: A Trend That Will Never Die

2009-05-26T19:55:00.000-07:00

Printed t-shirts have acted as statement pieces for many years now, but lately there has been a serious revival in such t-shirts as the latest fashion trend.

Author: Adam Singleton

Over the years, printed t-shirts have emerged as statement pieces within the world of fashion. From big, bold pictures to eye-catching phrases, these casual yet stylish pieces are now nothing short of wardrobe must-haves. But the trend of printed t-shirts is, in actuality, a revival from the 1950s, and is something that has reappeared in the fashion scene many times since then. So why are they so popular, and why can we expect to keep seeing them pop up in future fashion trends? In the early 1950s several companies based in Miami, Florida, started to decorate t-shirts with different resort names and various characters - a trend which immediately took off, especially with the younger population. Then in the 1960s tie-dying and screen printing became popular, with many of the decade’s youth and rock culturists donning the designs. During the same time, several t-shirt companies began producing fine art designs for t-shirts, while others focused on specific emblems and motifs - mainly based on popular associations of the time. Throughout and since the 1980s, t-shirts have continued to flourish as a means of personal expression, allowing consumers to flaunt their tastes in an inexpensive way. Shirts with bold slogans were particularly popular in the UK during this time, as were hypercolour t-shirts - shirts that changed colour when subjected to heat. These were also popular in the United States during the late 80s - particularly among teens. During the early noughties, t-shirts started to emerge that focused on humorous or ironic slogans and print designs - a trend that proved particularly popular with celebrities. The political statements that can now also be found on t-shirts poses another reason as to why they’ve so effectively permeated different levels of culture and society. However, many of the statements and print designs on t-shirts in recent years might be found to be shocking or offensive, purely for attention-drawing purposes rather than to express a certain belief. Yet big and bold print designs on t-shirts aren’t always the most popular either – subdued, almost abstract prints have also taken off with those who enjoy print t-shirts for their artistic quality rather than to draw attention or make a loud statement. With the wide range of printed t-shirts available, you can easily add these stylish pieces to your wardrobe.

Girls who do not have tons of money lying around, but want in on the hottest outfits and fashion trends can still do so even on a budget. There are plenty of items out there that look chic and stylish, and yet are easy on the purse strings. All it takes to land decent deals on cool clothes and accessories are heeding good advice and doing some really smart shopping. Yes, it is possible to get celebrity fashion looks for way under $100. Face it. Regular “Janes” seldom afford designer duds Hollywood celebs are wearing. As a result, people look for other means to fulfill their fashion hankerings. Some recreate the outfits of celebrities, pulling apart each piece and replacing them with less expensive but pricey-looking materials. Others do something else. The bottom line is: there are ways to get stylish without burning a huge hole in the pocket. Here are tips to get you out of a fashion slump and be one step closer to looking ultra-chic – the affordable way. • It sucks to find out your latest fashion splurge went up for sale a week after buying it. Before forking over a credit card, inquire whether the object of the fashion desire will be on sale sometime in the very near future. The salesperson might let you in on an upcoming sale, or even better, ring the item up at sale price on the spot. • Another great way to snag the best deals is to stock up on seasonal apparel just when the season is about to end. Comb through the sale racks for sweaters in May, bikinis in August, and short-sleeved shirts in November. • Avoid gift cards going to waste. They can still be good for swapping with others’ unwanted cards on various card websites. • Thrift shops, like high-priced boutiques, can prove equally expensive. However, friends’ wardrobes and closets are usually free. Arrange clothing swaps with the chicest of your chums. For varying shoe sizes or different dresses, consider accessories exchanges – costume jewelry, headbands, scarves and bags. • Get good selections by hitting stores on weekdays. Best odds of getting lucky are Thursdays, as these are when weekend sales pop up. Shoppers benefit from the price cuts while still having a wide selection to browse. The worst time to go is later in the weekends as stuff will have been picked over by the early birds. • After items stay in stores for months, retailers begin dropping their price to get rid of them. For those with enough self-control: wait out grabbing the merchandise for six to eight weeks after they hit the storefronts. • Benefit from half-off, buy-one-take-one and other such discounts - NOT by acquiring everything you are able to carry, but by bringing fashion-forward friends along. The two of you crave a new pair of pants? Hit the store together and get in on the special deals. • Consider shopping online using online coupons. These coupons are similar to vouchers people clip in newspapers and magazines, providing deals, promotional bundles and discounts. They are found online with codes people can copy, download and print prior to shopping. Some of them even don’t require any downloading, simply enter the provided code and start enjoying the savings. Sites compile them from different sources and make them available for free to Internet shoppers. Some coupons give percentage discount, offer free shipping (no territorial limits or boundaries for selling online), and/or freebies. • Everybody has that one place that messes up her shopping sense and judgment. Compel yourself to remain within a specified budget and guard against impulsive spending. Load gift cards only with amounts you’re able to spend and leave plastic moneys at home. • Take good care of clothes. Hand-wash delicate lingerie, dry-clean those tagged “dry-clean”, and never let the bedroom floor serve as a second closet. Favorite items will last longer this way so there is no need to replace them a few months into using them. With a bit of time and some effort, consumers can save quite a bundle with their fashion shopping. Whether it is paying brick-and-mortar stores a personal visit or searching through cyber stores, there are some definite money savings to be had. Even if it is just a few dollars for each purchase, all these can add up to some very substantial savings in the end.

I know there are lots of people out there who really hates Beyonce's little sister, Solange Knowles. And I am pretty sure that they'll keep on hating her because of this outfit. Man, who would have thought that there were a combinations of colours like these? And the most disturbing to me are those pink tights. Honestly, my eyes hurt because of the bold colours as well as the style of her outfit! this outfit wouldn't look good in the dark or in any time of the day! Ugh..

That's no exaggeration. Nobody could seriously put together this mis match of colors and fabrics and textures. It's got a little bit of everything tacky and does nothing to compliment Solange's emaciated frame..

Camilla Alves a Brazilian model has created with her mom Multo Abrigado a handbag line called MUXO. This handbag is unique and one of a kind because it is handmade. Camila says that the handbag is also influenced by the two places she spent most of her time, “Brazil and New York.”

The model admits that she created the line, “because I travel a lot, I found that there weren’t any handbags available that were strong and sexy enough at the same time…Everything was either too small (really cute but impractical) or too big (way too practical but not at all fashionable). So I wanted to create a handbag that fit my lifestyle… (and my laptop and princess cut diamonds at the same time)

MUXO can best be described as Bohemian chic, which works best for the L.A. hipsters.

The name was a bit odd, but knowing that it'll be Victoria Beckham who'll gonna design your outfit, Man, you'll going to think that this is something fashionable and stylish!

She says, "It will be something completely different from what I've ever done. I'm just putting it together at the moment, but they will be very upscale dresses and likely will start at around $1,200 retail. I'm going to be using very expensive fabrics and finishes, lots of embroideries."

She hopes to branch out into shoes and bags, but can't do those now because she's a "control freak" and doesn't want to expand too fast. She also refuses to do sportswear because she only likes to do things that are "true" to herself, that she would wear herself. "Sports and me don't really go hand-in-hand — other than with my husband," she added.

The design of Vicky was taken inspiration from Marc Jacobs and Roberto Cavalli, and is already in talks with major department stores to sell them.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Handbags

2008-06-23T10:17:00.000-07:00

First of all I’m a fan of the all-classic Monogram Handbags and These Louis Vuitton Monogram handbags has such an elegant and sophisticated design. The unique shape and LV print makes this bag's identity unmistakable. A fun twist was applied to the iconic handbag with the application of the Grenade hue to the Louis Vuitton Monogram making this piece even more appealing. This is one of those bags you can either dress up or dress down, and it’ll still look couture. They look so tempting, like you could almost bite into them!

Gisele Bundchen walking the runway in Sao Paulo's fahion week!

2008-06-23T08:13:00.000-07:00

Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen displays a creation from the Colcci Spring/Summer collection during Sao Paulo Fashion June 22, 2008.

The model was also spotted looking sexy at a runway gig as part of the Sao Paulo Fashion week yesterday in a Colcci ensemble including a cropped top and figure-flattering trousers with a pair of massive heels.

“Miss Bundchen recently told press that as a result of her meteoric rise to fame, people are always trying to discredit her beauty by claiming it’s all artificial. Then again, when you’re earning the industry’s top salary ($33 million a year) you have to expect some drama.

She told press, “The other day, a girl on my plane was pulling my hair. She was like, ‘I just want to check...’ [And I told her] ‘This is all my hair, by the way. I did not have extensions’”.

Jessica Simpson To Design Country Clothes

2008-06-20T11:33:00.000-07:00

Singer Jessica Simpson is thinking about to launch her own line of lingerie in spring 2009. She's done so well with the shoes, sunglasses, and bathing suits, and she figured, why not?

The lingerie collection will include underwear, daywear and sleepwear.

It’s all apart of dad Joe Simpson’s plan to help Jessica sail to the top of the country charts. Joe thinks a new “designer denim and western wear” clothing line will help Jess cash in on her new country image and fan base.

“Joe realized it’d be a natural for Jessica to design a line that included everything from tight-fitting jeans to cowboy hats,” a Star Magazine insider says. “She’s really a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl anyway…If things go well, Jessica should have her name on people’s butts by the Summer of 2009.”
Jessica, whose first country single “Come On Over” made an impressive Billboard debut, unofficially retired from pop music last week.
