Hair Style For Fine Hair


If you have fine or thinning hair you might feel it is difficult to find a hair style that suits you. A trip to a barber or hairdresser can be a source of distress. It is important that you can discuss your fine or thinning hair and the style you want with the person cutting it and not feel any embarrassment or distress.

For men, the most sensible and easiest style is a short, clean cut. One of the worst mistakes a guy can make with thinning or fine hair is to grow it long, spike it or jell it. These accentuate the thinning hair and draw attention to it, and under no circumstances attempt the dreaded 'comb over' by growing your hair at the sides and the back long and combing over the fine or receding areas. This will almost definitely bring unwanted attention and highlight what you are trying to conceal.

Dyeing the hair lighter will nearly always help by reducing level of contrast between the hair and scalp. Of course, if you have a darker scalp then a darker color would be better.

There are also a vast range of thickening shampoos and conditioners that add volume to the hair and are less likely to break and damage the already weakened follicle. It is also advisable not to let fine or thinning hair get too greasy.

For women, chin length cuts are recommended by most stylists. Again, attention and emphasis will be on the features, face and neck, rather than the hair. As is similar for men, hair that is too long will make the hair appear weaker and thinner than it actually is. Curling irons and straighteners should be avoided as they can seriously damage hair.

A short 'bobb' type cut with the hair brushed behind the ears is of the trendiest current looks and can do wonders to add volume to hair, especially if the hair is layered correctly at the back. Extensions are an absolute no-no and will add stress to an already weakened hair follicle. As distressing as fine and thinning hair can be there are different styles that can benefit you.

There is no need to allow something like thinning hair to take over your life and make you self conscious wherever you go. So long as you do not make the common mistakes that people with thinning hair make then you will be fine, the thing is people do not know that a lot of the “fixes” actually just makes things that much worse, the companies that offer you curling irons or straighteners and the vast array of other things that are bad for your hair do not care about your hair in the long run, so long as you will buy their product and get a false sense of security from it they are satisfied, but it does not have to be this way which is why I am trying to help you make informed decisions that can offer solutions while not compromising your hair.

Baby Clothes – The Top 7 Essentials


One of the best parts of preparing for a new baby is to buy baby clothes. The tiny clothes are so charming and can melt any heart any number of times. If you have had any issues about whether you will be a good mom or dad, just take a look at that cute onesie – anything that fits something so small can’t be unmanageable!

One thing you must keep in mind when buying baby clothes is that your new baby is going to need lots of them. The top seven things that your baby’s wardrobe must have are:

1. Diapers: I can’t even begin to tell you how many of those your baby will need, but just buy them in bulk. For ease of operation and less headache for mommy, try the disposable types

2. Onesies: Onesies are one – piece garments like overalls or coveralls and expect your new born to be spending a lot of time in them. Choose onesies that can be easily opened and fastened so that you can change the baby with minimal effort.

Cotton tees: Cotton tees teemed up with cotton shorts or skirts and are great for indoors. Do buy lots of tees because they will need frequent changing.

3. Sleep – ins: Sleep ins like sleepers and pajamas for night wear keep the baby safe from draft and are comfortable to sleep in.

4. Warm clothes: Add some warm clothes like sweaters and fleecewear in your baby’s wardrobe because they need a lot of protection from cold weather.

5. Caps and hats: Maybe not several of them, but buy a couple of caps to keep the baby’s head out of the wind.

6. Mittens: In winters you can’t do without them but keep some cotton ones for the summers so that the baby doesn’t scratch itself with its own nails. Babies do that, seriously.

How To Design Appealing Clothes


We are all admit that dressing is one of the key personal appearance that could be attractive to the public.

This articles is really compulsory. There are something that you have to consider for design.

1. Target group (who will wear it)

This is the most important one. Define age range of people who will wear your clothe. Young generation will like completely different from elder people. If you are going to design for young new generation, you may have to design in many different style because the preference of young people is vary. Controversial to elder people who love to wear simple-design cloth, which is very easy to clean and comfortable when they are wearing.

2. Trends

However, there is a big different between women’s cloth and man’s cloth. Trends of man’s cloth many not change as frequent as women’s cloth.

3. Climate / Environment

Therefore, you have to ensure that the design match to the climate and temperature of the place where you intend to sell. For example, if you are designing cloth for people who live in tropical zone such as Asia, you may have to design the cloth that provide good air ventilation and not to use thick garment. The size of the cloth should be a little bit lose to allow air to flow in and out in order to make the person who wearing feel most comfortable and they will find that your cloth is suitable for them and looking for more design.

Use a good moisturizing product. Since your facial skin goes through a lot of stress and encounters dust particles on a day to day basis, it is very important that you keep it moisturized. A dry skin is pertinently going to go so dull. Moisturizing ingredients will keep away wrinkles, creases, and age lines.

Use sunscreen products. The UV rays are very harmful to the skin. Dark spots as well as wrinkles are owed to the harmful rays of the sun. That is why sunscreen products are essential for daily use whether or not you are going to the beach. Experts advise the use of SPF 15 or even higher to be used for the entire day.

You must not only concern yourself about the rampant effects of digestive, liver problems, and the likes. Taking care of yourself starts with the way you handle your own facial skin. Acne, boils, and pimples are in no way healthy factors to be allowed to find their way on your face. So, keep a healthy glowing facial skin by doing the proper care

New Underwear, New You?



en, has it dawned on you yet that your gender has entered into a new age of manliness? For decades, women have been nurturing their feminity, tuning it up and exploring their boundaries. Men have responded like the sensitive beings they actually are, with subtle changes of their own.

All of these changes add up to a new and welcome confidence for both women and men. Just as women have new freedoms to express themselves in different, more expansive ways, men have also shrugged off much social conditioning. In fact, when it comes to boundaries, they are expanding faster than we can even notice.

Did your dad say things like, “I’m a boxer kind of guy,” and wear only button-down collars? It’s a safe bet that you, like millions of men, are branching out, and having a great time exploring while you’re at it.

Take men’s underwear, for example. There’s so much to choose from, it makes your head spin. The men’s Athletic Underwear category alone offers a multitude of choices in designs, from thick-pouched jock straps to high-fashion fly-front briefs designed that literally show you off to the max. Hard cups, soft cups, compression shorts and suspensory jock straps comprise just the top echelon of your athletic underwear selections.

But let’s talk about the old standby in mens underware: Boxer shorts. Nothing beats them for sheer hanging around comfort. But have you checked out the new spinoffs? Men’s Boxers come in various fabrics and different styles too. For example, the Calvin Klein “pima cotton boxer” is different from their “lounge knit boxer,” and so are their “boxer briefs,” “calvin klein bottoms” and “hip briefs.” All very distinct! All very cool!

The fact is, Calvin Klein has been the industry standard since 1982, when they exploded on the designer fashion scene. If you haven’t taken a look at the incredible array Calvin Klein underwear has to offer, you’re missing more than a fashion statement. You’re missing an opportunity to explore who you are… at your most basic, your most natural.

Oh, I know all about this subject, you quip. Do you? Do you know the difference between a bikini brief and a hip brief? Between a body thong and a Calvin Klein “Pro Stretch Jock Strap?” Do you care? If you don’t, you should. Your partner cares, so why shouldn’t you?

The only thing sexier than mens underwear is womens underwear, right? If you believe that, you’re about fifty percent wrong, and you’re probably a guy. Maybe you’re the kind of guy who enjoys his routines. Could be you’ve never even tried on some sexy men’s thongs or even—gasp—a sexy g-string. Maybe now’s the time?

You could find a sexy new you… just by changing your style of underwear! Who knows where you might go from there?

Victoria’s Secret Garden Silkening Body Lotions

The first ever Victoria’s Secret Garden scent I smelled was Endless Love. Since that first time, I have fallen in love with this line of body lotions. I have always had problems when it came to choosing a scent that would suit me and that would last for at least an hour. When I first tried Victoria’s Secret, I knew that I had found a keeper.

You can use the body lotion any time you wish but I think the most effective way is to use it right after you take a bath or a shower. That way, your skin is clean and no dirt or grit will ruin the feel of your skin. The body lotion really smoothens your skin. With continuous use you will see the effect even more.

The scents add another dimension to the body lotions. If you really like the particular scent, you will appreciate the fact that they stay on for a long long time. My original criterion was that the scent last for at least an hour. I got at least 5 times as much as that. Even if you engage in physical activities and sweat a bit, the scent is not totally lost.

The Silkening Body Lotions come in different bottle sizes. You can also find them in tubes. The packaging is quite appealing to eyes. Personally, I prefer the tubes. If you use it often – as you most probably would – an 8.0 ounce bottle will probably last for a month or so.

My problem is that out of the whole line, there are only a couple of scents that I like. These are Endless Love and Vanilla Lace. All the other scents are either too fruity or too sweet for my taste.

Another thing is that for everyday use, these products do not come cheaply. However, Victoria’s Secret stores usually have promos wherein you can get a several bottles for a low price. Online stores also offer a wide array of scents with reasonable prices. The smart thing to do is to grab several bottles of your favorite scent and stock up on them when you chance upon a sale.

If you are looking for a body lotion that markedly improves your skin’s texture, then try one of the many Victoria’s Secret Garden Silkening Body Lotions. In addition to supple skin, you will end up smelling lovely throughout most of the day.

Gold: The Precious Metal That Everyone Wants


Everybody is aware that gold is a much sought after precious metal and which for quite a few centuries was also used as money and a means to store value and of course in making jewelry. It is known to occur as nuggets or even as grains found in rocks, especially in underground veins as well as in alluvial deposits, and it has the property of being dense as well as soft and is shiny and even malleable, and in its purest form is bright yellow in color, which from the very beginning has attracted man to it.

Basis For Monetary Standard

Gold is also the basis for the monetary standard and is used by organizations such as the International Monetary Fund or IMF and by the Bank for International Settlements or BIS. In today’s modern industry, gold is also used for dentistry as well as in electronics since it has excellent properties of being a good resistor to corrosion due to oxidation. It also does not react with a majority of chemical though chlorine fluorine as well aqua regia and cyanide will attack it.

It is easy to dissolve gold in mercury and it can then form amalgam alloys, though it is not soluble in nitric acid that is otherwise known to dissolve base metals and also silver and is thus part of the method of refining of fold that is called “inquartation and parting”. And, if you want to ascertain whether there is any gold present in certain items, you can use nitric acid to test for it and it is this means of ascertaining the presence of gold that has given rise to the term “acid test”.

The main use of gold is as a medium of monetary exchange and you will find it to be the standard for monetary exchange in many countries, though it is also used for making coins and also jewelry. However, gold in its pure form is much too soft to be used for ordinary purposes and thus must be hardened by using copper and base metals to alloy it with. How much gold is contained in a particular item is measured in terms of carats or karats and the purest form of it is designated as being twenty-four karats.

In modern times, gold is no longer used for making coins, though because it is a soft metal it can be alloyed with other metals and thus is widely used in making of jewelry, and it is most often alloyed with copper, especially as eighteen karat gold that is used in Russian jewelry.

Values of Gold Bar

Gold that is being sold in the gold market often comes in bars of gold bars. A gold bar refers to a gold ingot which may come in different types, weights and categories.

A gold bar being a gold ingot means that it is a metal that is solid but melted or liquefied to form into different shape. A bar of gold needs second procedure of shaping by using cold/hot processes.

Types of Gold Bar

There are different types of gold bars. These types are casted and minted. The basis of classifying bars of gold is the method of manufacturing. The cast bars are created by pouring the molten gold into the ingot mold to attain the desired shape. A minted gold bar is made from gold blanks that have been trimmed according to specific dimensions from a piece of gold.

The markings are applied by presses. Chipgold is a new form of gold bar that is made up of small ingot (1-20 grams) contained in sealed package as small as a credit card. This package is also certified.

A cast gold bar is when the gold is liquefied then poured into a mold to attain the desired shape. Minted is when a gold is taken to a facility or place for the purpose of turning it into a gold bar.

Gold Jewelry: The Ultimate Adornment For Style, Beauty And Class




Gold jewelry can never go out of style. It can look good on almost everyone. It is the ultimate amalgamation of classic beauty, wealth and style.

The value of gold jewelry depends not only upon the style or the designer who has designed it, but most importantly it is dependent upon the quality of gold used to make the gold jewelry. The quality of gold in the gold jewelry is determined by its percentage or by the karat. The higher the karat number, the higher the percentage of gold in your gold jewelry. The various karat numbers are 24K, 18K, 14K, 12K and 10K - 24K is pure gold.

Gold jewelry is also available in various forms. In some cases it is plated with gold, in some it is filled with gold and in some others the gold jewelry is made of pure gold. Gold by itself is very soft and isn't practical for daily wear which is why it has to be mixed with other additional metals to give it tensile strength such that it can be molded into various designs. Other metals are mixed with it to make it more durable (and to lower its cost).

Adding other metals to the mix also allows metallurgists to change the color of gold. Palladium or nickel can be added to create white gold. Adding copper produces a rose or pink tint, while silver gives gold a greenish cast. If you want jewelry which can be worn regularly then it is wise to get it made out of solid gold (Solid gold is a term that can be used to describe an item that's at least 10K (in the US) gold all the way through. Even though it's a gold alloy--18K, 14K, or anything down to 10K--it can be called solid gold.).

Gold has in a way always stood as a symbol for wealth, prestige and power. Through times immemorial gold jewelry has been the ultimate ornamentation for kings, queens and noblemen. At one point of time, gold jewelry was also seen as a status symbol and was not meant for the common man. It still is looked upon as a status symbol since not every one can afford gold jewelry. However because of the numerous forms in which gold jewelry is available to day (such as plated gold, gold filled, gold coated jewelry or gold jewelry of a lower karat), it can now be easily bought by anyone.

Gold jewelry does not entail very big or intricate designs, it can even be quite small simple and delicate. How so ever a piece of jewelry maybe, it immediately stands out. There is a timeless classic appeal surrounding it which can never go out of fashion. Gold jewelry is not only something which you can buy for yourself or as a gift to someone you love; you can also buy gold jewelry to keep as an asset. The value of gold jewelry does not depreciate, it only appreciates with time. It can prove to be a very valuable investment.

What Your Handbags Say About You





You can tell a lot about a person from the clothes they wear, but you can also tell a lot about a person simply from the handbags they carry. It’s hard to believe, but you can find out a number of things about a women’s personality just by looking at the type of handbag she sports. Below you will find a number of handbag styles and colors as well as what each specific type of handbag says about the owner.

Styles:

Under-the Shoulder – Handbags which are smaller and fit tightly underneath the shoulder indicate class and sophistication. A women working in an upscale office or someone of high stature would choose this form of handbag.

Big and Bulky – Big, bulky and oversized bags are casual and are often associated with younger individuals. These are used for individuals who carry a number of things (binders, books etc) and require a lot of space. Down-to-earth, lower-maintenance women would carry this type of handbag.

Designer – Designer handbags often cost an arm and a leg and therefore are usually associated with high-maintenance females. Females who are confident and require top of the line accessories will settle for nothing less than a name-brand designer purse. Guys – watch out for these girls, they tend to be a handful.

Cigar Box Purses – A women who carries a cigar box purse likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd. These women have minds of their own and cannot be told what to do. They are comfortable in their own skin and tend to be very independent.

Leather with Buckles and Zippers – Women who choose leather purses with lots of buckles and zippers are leashing out their wild sides. These women tend to act before they think and are always ready for a good time. The extra buckles and zippers tend to signify a “bad girl” image.

Colors:

Bright Colors – Bright colored handbags like pink, purple, bright blue and green indicate that the woman is fun, friendly and approachable. Women who are out-going and sociable will tend to choose these colors. This is the type of woman who will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger.

Black and Brown – Women who choose black or brown handbags tend to be more reserved and are often mistaken as being snobby or restricted. These types of handbags are often associated with down-to-earth women, who are shy at first, but open up after a while. They tend to exude a shy confidence, which is sometimes mistaken as someone who thinks she’s better than others.

The style and color of your handbag says a lot about you. Choose your handbag very carefully and remember you can choose more than one style. You may feel like being reserved one day and the center of attention another…it’s natural to want different things in life.

Dress For Success


You have always imagined how this meeting would be. From the moment you exited your college doors to the moment you applied for this amazing opportunity at the company of your dreams, you have been fantasizing how your conversational skills would lead you closer to a job proposal that will excite you. But, have you ever considered that apart from building your professional experience and advancing your academic background, the condition of your wardrobe can be a crucial factor for your prospective employer to base his/her decision on? All around the globe, HR professionals agree that candidates who select to wear clean and matching clothes actually increase their chances of being offered the position they are after.

It is common in today's professional environment for people to wear their "business" outfit during office hours and their casual clothes during leisure time. Whether you have realized it or not, you are probably a member of this fast-pace attire couture, as you open your closet in the morning to wear one of your business suits leaving your jeans hanging for the more "relaxed" atmosphere of the weekend or a barbeque party. But even if your office dress code does not explicitly direct you to wear formal business garments, when you are about to be interviewed for a new job it is important you will select to wear your professional-looking clothes.

As a matter of fact, my personal experience has led me to conclude that the outfit I will select to wear before having to give a small speech about my abilities and skills can direct the attention of my future employer to what I am saying instead to how I look. Contemporary business culture demands from the person that wishes to enter a business environment, of any kind, to look sharp and professional. Thus, it is crucial for candidates to choose carefully their apparel so as to reflect the generally accepted working dress-code, apart from their personal taste. Regardless if the position is that of a senior or a junior executive, HR agencies inform the individuals they manage to pay attention to their appearance as much as they should practice what they are going to elaborate on when explaining their professional experience and skills. There is not one recruiter out there that would overlook the way interested professionals look when they are invited for the first round of interviews. As the old saying goes, "An image says 1,000 words."

But, while one should be conscious of the impact a carefully chosen wardrobe has to the overall image he or she is about to give, going over the business dress-code line is not advisable by anyone. For instance, women that wear heavy makeup or men that select to wear an extremely expensive suit might give to the interviewer the wrong impression regarding their professional status and overall character. In fact, one might loose a perfectly good opportunity to get the position he or she is about to be interviewed due to a poor or over-the-top appearance. Dressing casually or over-dressing will never lead you to the desired result. Thus, before meeting with your potential employer, it is imperative to consult with friends, who have working experience in the business field you wish to enter, so as to learn as much as possible in relation to the working outfit recruiters and business executives consider as acceptable. Consequently, it is important for you to plan ahead and invest in purchasing the "right" type of clothes. Being proactive today will give you tomorrow the opportunity to buy that piece of clothing that your future boss would characterize as "extreme," but your partner or friends would adore.

Men’s Formal Dress


When you receive an invitation card for the formal party, this may be a sign that you are having a move up your career path or it is your first formal charity event. As you read the invitation you see listed among the details "black tie". Does that mean you need to wear a tuxedo? Will a suit do just as well?

If you want to feel comfortable and impress your host, determine what formal attire is expected based on the terms used in the invitation as well as the many choices available to you.

1. Black Tie is a common reference to a formal affair. If the invitation specifically states 'black tie' you WILL be expected to come in a tuxedo. You do not have to wear a black tuxedo - a grey tuxedo would be equally acceptable.

You may also prefer to add some color or distinction to your outfit by choosing a cummerbund, vest and tie that is a patterned or solid color. Choose a sophisticated cuff link and finish the look with black patent leather shoes.

The variety of styles available today allows you to customize your look with the cut of the coat, the color of your accessories and they style of neck wear. Depending on the event and your hosts you may determine if too much self-expression would detract from the evening. If you are unsure it is wise to stick with traditional black and white.

2. White Tie is the most formal dress request. It requires a strict attention to tradition and does not permit the guest to deviate from an accepted standard.

A White Tie event requires the men to be wearing a black, full dress tailcoat, wing collar shirt, white pique vest and tie. You may also wish to add such elegant touches as a top hat, cane and white gloves.

3. Traditional (or Formal) Morning Attire - Another take on formal wear for day time events is the traditional morning attire. The most formal suit is composed of a grey cutaway coat, striped trousers and grey vest with a wing collar shirt and ascot. Less formal dress would substitute a Stroller coat; lay down collar shirt and four-in-hand tie.

For non-traditional formal wear at a day time event you can wear a black or grey tuxedo or even a white tuxedo for warm weather events.

4. Semi-formal allows the guest to wear either a black or grey tuxedo or a suit. Seasonal appropriate colors can be used for day time affairs.

Dress Code!


Hooley dooley - you should see me today.

I'm still in my dressing gown - and the market makers have gone to lunch!

Must get myself organised!

I do have a dress code … well, a very casual one!

When I became a full-time trader I decided, like anyone who goes out to work, that I would present myself at the computer each morning ready for work- that is, I would be up, showered and dressed by the time the market opens.

Today, I didn't quite get it together.

The point is, when I had my business and perhaps I'd come home late the previous night, I'd find myself the next morning sitting at the computer, straight out of bed in my dressing gown.

I truly found my attitude and decision-making weren't up to scratch - I hadn't set myself up in business mode. I was more interested in having a cup of tea and phoning a friend, while I glanced at the charts.

So, I know it's hard with babies and children around (you can get to the afternoon and realise you haven't had time for a shower you've been so busy - let alone to be dressed). However, if you're anything like me - when you start the day's work you're in a much better mind-set if you are dressed for the day. You are ready to make a commitment to the task. I know you mostly won't trade at this time of day, but it's good to see if there are any strong movements at the beginning of the day and keep an eye on the charts.

By being dressed and prepared for work at the same time each day - you've already set yourself up to be in the best frame of mind to make excellent decisions … and reaps the rewards!

Causes Of Depression And Your Life Style


Depression is a feeling that we get when something bad happens and we are unable to deal with it. Even though depression is now known to have serious effects if it persists for a long length of time, the actual causes of depression are not well defined. There are some theories that suggest a multiple number of reasons, both internal and external factors which can cause depression.

There are other theories about the cause of depression arising from genetics. With this theory the family and their behavior has a predisposition towards depression. There are numerous studies and research that has shown family members who are affected by depression have a genetic makeup that is very different from family members who are unaffected by depression.

It has been noted that changes in the brain structure or even brain functions may be one of the causes of depression. While there is no clear evidence of brain functionality or genetics as being predisposed towards depression, there is ample research data to suggest that this is the case.

Low self esteem and pessimism are thought to be the other causes of depression. With these mood traits a person suffering from low self esteem will regard themselves with feelings of pessimism, worthlessness, a desire to end their life and perhaps even attempts at suicide. In this case the person who suffers from low self esteem and depression will only see the negative aspects of life. These low self esteem and pessimistic feelings maybe some of the causes of depression, as they invoke the response towards depression.

Being overwhelmed by stress can easily lead a person into a state of depression. The many pressures that we face in our lives and the great expectations that are placed on us contribute to this feeling of stress. Therefore as more stress enters our lives depression begins to set in. Low self esteem, pessimism and stress are considered to be psychological causes of depression.

Other causes of depression can include any physical changes that occur to our bodies. Severe medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease, heart attacks, strokes and diabetes can make the individual believe that there is nothing worthwhile living for. This emotional state in many cases causes the person to drop into a depression phase. By feeling depressed the rate of recovery is delayed.

While it is not completely clear what the exact causes of depression are, there is agreement that certain physical, emotional, and genetic traits can lead towards depression. Whatever the actual cause is, the end result is that the individual who is suffering from depression has a very poor quality of life. Therefore until we can define what are the real causes of depression, all that we can do is to help them become better.

Style Rules For Every Woman


The fashion world can often be intimidating especially for women who are scared to experiment with new trends and express themselves in their apparel for fear of being labeled a fashion disaster. Here are some tips and style rules that every woman should remember to help her navigate her way in the fashion world.

Updating your look is necessary if you want to keep up with the latest in the fashion scene. However, updating should be done in small doses most especially if you are unsure if a particular fad or trend will work for you.

Dressing younger than you age is perfectly fine but if you think that a certain fad is too young for you and you don't feel comfortable in it then don't wear it. But even if you are in your 40s and you feel confident in a mini skirt, then go for it.

Black clothes are a good buy because they look sexier, sophisticated, more expensive and more flattering for your figure.

Clothes are an investment so buying junk clothing for the sake of being able to buy something new for your wardrobe is not a wise choice. If you are tight on the budget, stick with the existing apparel you have and create different looks by mixing and matching them. Make-up, accessories and even a new coif can create a totally new look.

It is important to note that fads come and go and you can always expect a trend to have a short life in the fashion scene. The fashion world is such a dynamic environment and certain clothes may be in right now but the next thing you know it they are so last season. It is perfectly okay to be sporting the "it" outfit or having this season's must haves but bearing in mind that these fashion trends may easily go.

Try exploring a new look by trying on different styles of clothes, wearing make-up and changing your current updo. Have fun and experiment. You can always go back to your old look if you so desire but of course this time with a touch of chic and flair.

A professional image at work is of utmost importance. Most companies have a dress code while there are quite a number of organizations that are relaxed with regards this matter. Business attire is most appropriate most especially for those who are in a corporate setup.

Fashion may all be about the external apparel, shoes, accessories, make-up, hairdo, etc. but inner peace and a good heart will always exude and give you that confidence and glow that is always in style.

Home Decorating Style - Do You Have It?



Determining your home decorating style can be difficult, especially if you have never decorated anything before. However, with a careful examination of your personality, your color and hue preferences, and geometric shapes that you find pleasant, you can quickly begin to shape your use of furniutre and decorating personality.

The home dĂ©cor you choose will reflect the things that you find pleasant in other aspects of your life. If you think back to when you were in school, you probably had a favorite subject. If you preferred math, you will probably prefer to decorate with clear, concise lines that imitate geometric shapes and can be measured in real numbers. However, if math wasn’t such a pleasant experience for you but you loved art class, you may like the more abstract, flowing type of design, with intricate weavings or carvings and delicate drawings and images.

Modern furnishings tend to be quite geometric, while the neo-classical furniture style takes into account the need for a contemporary design while still being compelled to love the ornate and robust. Neo-classical integrates the two cultures into one decorating style that can please those who are torn.

Home dĂ©cor also reflects your moods and coloration. For example, if you tend to be an energetic person who never sits still, is always on the go, and has a need for adventure, the colors in your home will be bright and motivating – reds and deep purples, bright blues and sunny yellows. On the other hand, if you are laid back and tend to go with the flow, your decorating style will reflect this with choices of pastels, like delicate pinks, pale blues, and mellow yellows. Still another may be artistic and introverted, causing dark colors to appear, with black trim or navy blue dĂ©cor. For those who love nature, the home dĂ©cor will bring nature inside, with browns and greens, as well as floral motifs and oceanic designs.

Of course, you also have to take into account the size of the areas that are being decorated. For example, dark colors can be detrimental to the perception of an already small room, making it seem as though it is going to close in on you and even causing claustrophobia. You can open up a room like this by using light colors or at least backing off a shade or two to lighten your dark tones.

When you begin to consider all the aspects of your personality and your color and design preferences, your ideas for each room in the house will quickly start to take shape in your mind. Jot down your thoughts and save them because you can’t do everything at once, and you may want to come back to that thought later.

Modern Decorating Style - Getting The Right Look

Decorative pillows can bring a soft touch to your design theme. Pillows can add value a multitude of rooms, the den. living room, bedroom and even the kitchen. To give a sense of a modern decorating look to your family room or den, adding pillows to your couch or chair can really work wonders.

In the bedroom, compliment them to your design theme but purchase fabrics that are different with one matching element. Add comfort and style to your decor with pillows that are simple with solid colors.

Finding the appropriate knick knacks to match your interior decorating scheme can be fun as well as help pull the room together. To accentuate your modern decorating, stick with accessories that have a stylish and sleek look. Decorating with citrus fruits in a sleek aluminum bowl or displaying a bamboo plant in a low vase. Here is where you can really make the home design your own by selecting knick knacks that reflect your individuality. If you are on a limited budget, you might want to try scouting out the local flea markets and yard sales where you are sure to see very interesting pieces for little money.

Adding modernistic accessories and furniture with plain but intersting shapes to your Modern home decorating style will work wonders to help the room stand out. However before you go out and obtain a bunch of stuff, you would be smart to have an idea of the types of pieces you want and stick to those pieces.

Hieroglyphics depict figures carrying pouches around their waist, and over their shoulders probably made out of animal skins, however the pictures are quite clear that they are the earliest form of handbags. In early American history, hunters used pouches made of leather to carry food home to their families.

Style was probably not important in ancient times, or to the hunter, however with the evolution of the handbag century’s later handbags became an important accessory to complete any style.

Around the eighteenth hundreds, handbags became “The fashion Accessory” to complete any style or outfit. Although materials for the handbag were limited, the elegance of a well-made handbag could not be overlooked.

What's Your Beachwear Style?


hat comes to your mind when you hear the word beachwear? This phrase may hold different meaning to different women, but what does it mean to YOU?

Is it a swimsuit? Is it a bikini and a cover-up?
Or… Is it a summer wardrobe and a style?

Beachwear can be so much more than just a swimsuit. It can be lightweight and flowing summer dresses; it can be be plain or fancy long or short skirts, or Russian pants; it can be halter tops, shorts, tankinis, clubkinis, wrap-arounds, tie-ons… whatever you want it to be. That’s what beachwear is.

So, what’s in style for beachwear?
Who cares!? Here is a great motto for all of us:
If it is MY style; It’s IN style… because like all the clothes you buy and wear, beachwear is also an expression of your spirit, so speak loudly or softly, whichever you choose or however you feel.

Where do you wear beachwear? Anywhere. Beachwear is not just for the beach or the pool. Are you going on a cruise or taking off to a resort? Think “bikini beachwear” (if that’s your style) for sunning by the pool or those days along the sandy beaches. But you will also want other summer beachwear as well, like dresses, skirts and pants. There’s beachwear to dress UP in, dress DOWN in or beachwear you simply just throw on!

For shopping or dining or even a night on the town, there are many beachwear options in many different styles and patterns that will assure that you are not breaking the dress codes while still enjoying the comfortable, cool and sexy feel of summer or the tropics. Clubkinis and halter top beachwear will be awesome additions to your summer or vacation wardrobe to mix and match with your skirts or your jeans. With just a few beachwear items, you can create many different looks and styles that are all your own.

With Beachwear, anything goes. It’s all still a matter of your own personal style. Sometimes just throwing on a fun summer skirt over your swimsuit and walking the sands of the beach can give you a sense of freedom that is much more powerful than the hottest bikini.

Shopping for bikini beachwear?
Most women already know what type of swimwear they are looking for through trial and error and those countless and frustrating trips to the dressing rooms. We usually know what is the best fit for us, whether it’s underwired tops, string bikini bottoms, full coverage, slight coverage, tankini, French cut, Brazilian…

It’s possible the beachwear that is available in our local shops may be limited, but the internet is not. We don’t have to settle on this issue and we can find exactly what we want via internet shopping. So refine those searches and be specific about what you are looking for, ie; metallic beachwear, crocheted or ruffled, gauze and lace, (or even sheer beachwear), resort or cruise wear, exotic beachwear… even a lambskin bikini, if that’s your style.

Define your own beachwear style. Decide what you love and want and go get it. Remember: If it’s YOUR style. It’s IN style.

Decorating With Style



Looking to make your home beautiful? Maybe you think that it isn't possible to do more with because of its size, but you couldn't be more wrong. Any space can be made to reflect your personal style, even if it can't duplicate it perfectly. A studio apartment can't be the Taj Mahal, but it can utilize some of the same stylistic elements, working with its own strengths.

The first question you must answer is what your style palate is - this will become your style palette. That is to say, what is your taste, what appeals to you, you will then carefully splash these elements through your home - smartly. You may enjoy the clean lines of Japanese decor, or the gilded opulence of Versailles may be more your speed. Whichever end of the spectrum, remember that if it speaks to you, then feel free to
incorporate it.

After you have determined what direction you want your home to take, the next thing you have to realize is that there are no rules. This is your space, your domain, and anything goes. Having said that, know that there are some gently suggested guidelines that you may choose to follow, or at least consider.

1) Overstuffing a space will always make it seem smaller - if you are dealing with a small space, accessorize sparingly, or at least wisely. The exception to this rule is, of course, if you are trying to make a small, cozy space, like in a study, then you want to close in the space warmly.

2) Mixing different styles and artistic textures, is permitted, even encouraged. BUT, doing your entire apartment in French Country, then slapping a retro 50's atomic kitchen clock on the wall does not gel. If you want to incorporate different aesthetics into your look, you have to do just that - incorporate them.

3) Color is your friend. Even if you are looking to do a spare, modern place, a few well-placed points of bold color, or one wall of a room, can make the look pop. Or, a monochromatic black/white schema can benefit from adding a pale gray-green or steel grey. Don't be afraid of painting; you can always paint it back.

The most important thing to realize is that you can not screw it up. If you aren't satisfied with the look, keep layering. You will eventually get it how you want it, and the results are more than worth it. Choose your lighting and furnishings according to your tastes and the above rules, and you can't lose.

Diamond Ring Settings - Display Your Diamond with Style



There are almost as many ways to set a diamond as there are diamonds themselves, and diamond ring settings can influence the appearance and character of your ring as much as the diamond itself. From simple, unadorned mountings to settings richly set with diamonds, the ring setting you select can support your diamond with understated elegance or with exuberant flair. Good diamond ring settings show off your diamond.

Certain diamond ring stores will have a wider variety of diamond ring settings than others, so whether you are buying a ring off the shelf or having one custom made just for you, ask to browse the store’s ring catalog before you select the right jeweller for you. Simple settings, like the prong setting, are more commonly available, so be prepared to do a little extra legwork if you are looking for a jeweller that sells diamond rings with more usual settings.

The prong setting is most commonly used for solitaire rings, and can set a single stone off perfectly. This kind of setting can allow your diamond to sit either close to the hand, or elevate it for further prominence. A prong setting, which creates a sort of basket shape in which the diamond rests, exposes more of the diamond than other types of diamond ring settings, and while this can display a diamond beautifully, it also leaves the stone more exposed, and vulnerable to damage.

Another diamond ring setting is known as the bezel setting, in which the diamond is surrounded by a kind of collar. This type of setting is more secure than the prong setting, and is a popular choice for this reason. This type of setting can provide a ring with a more streamlined, understated look.

A channel set ring is one in which several stones are aligned in a channel – this setting is ideal for those who would like more than one stone in their ring. This style is popularly chosen for engagement rings, as the tidy line created by this setting allows for the easy matching of a wedding ring. A setting similar in appearance to this setting is the invisible setting, in which gemstones also sit alongside one another.

It is said that diamond ring settings are representative of the foundation of your marriage, so as with the diamond you select, choose a setting that best reflects your feelings for one another. Try to visit as many diamond ring stores as you can – and when you have found the right setting for you, you will fall in love all over again.
