Know Your Shape & Style

Find the Perfect Fit:  Their secret to looking great is choosing clothes that look like they were designed around your body..  Here's a few tips to help you with this... Before you even enter a store, know yourself....   What cuts and silhouettes accentuate your figure and what color complements your skin tone.. Remember every trend isn't for everyone .... Once you know what cuts look good on you, stick with them.  There are enough new clothes every season for everyone. No two bodies are created equal... What looks great on someone else doesn't necessarily work for you and vice verse.... Tailoring is tops...  Getting something altered, hemmed, or nipped in here and there can transform an item from simply good to absolutely perfect.  It's worth it even for your jeans

Costly Doesn't Always Mean Style

Ladies and Gentlemen, just because you spend a lot of money on an outfit doesn't mean you will have a stylish look.  Many people send lots of money on clothing and they have know style at all.  When you are purchasing a piece of clothing it's not how much it cost it's how does it look on you silhouette.  I know lots of people with lots of money but when it comes to style and fashion they have neither one.  So before you go out and send lots of money on clothes make sure it's something that looks stylish and looks great when put with other items of clothing you have.  You should always be able to wear one item with more than one outfit if not get rid of it.  You must be able to change your look and still be stylish.  So, look in those closet and see what you can get rid of because there's someone out there that would look great in those items.  Just because it cost don't make it stylish look at the example... Just a Tip:   Everyone isn't born with the gift

Season Change and So Should Your Make-up Women

As you know women our skin goes threw seasonal transitions.  Most of the times we neglect the importance of proper skin care and that isn't good for our skin at all.  So, always started with a basic cleaning regiment followed by a good conditioner based on your skin type.  There are several skin care products out here you must choose the one that fits your skin type best. Also, Ladies when you are picking out your make-up make sure that you test your colors.  The way to do that is to take a little bit of the make-up and put it on the jaw line or the front of your hand.  Make sure you blend, blend, blend and again blend the color in to your jaw line or the front of your hand to see if that is the color for you.  This will help you to always get the right make-up and stop you from having that line around your face that lets everyone know that you have make-up on.  I hope this helps with the cleaning of your skin and the applying of your make-up.  Smooooooches

How To Get A Handle on Your Handbag Wardrobe

Image
In a way the modern woman's handbag is like her armor. It's one of the first things you notice or not, depending on her choice of bag, and every bag says something about the lifestyle, sense of aesthetcs, and personality of the woman wearing it. Black says safe, color says individualistic, crocodile say luxury, nylon says practical, animal print says notice me, a little print says sweet, handheld says prissy and over the shoulder says no fuss. NOTE: If you are serious about building a collection of handbags in classic shapes, investing in one good bag per category makes the most sense. Your bags should be well made and of high quality material. If not please leave it in the store because a cheap handbag will soon show it's true worth.

How To Buy a Classic Pearl Necklace

1. Shape: Pearls are round by definition therefore, the rounder the pearls in a strand the better. 2. Hue: Experience teaches that different people favor different hues. Like fair-skin women look good in a pearl that's whiter & other skin types look better in silver hue. 3. Length and Size: The right length depends on the neck, decollete, shoulders and of course the clothes. The classic lenght is 17 to 19 inches which is called princess lenght. It suits high or low necklines. 4. Luster: The surface and nacre of a pearl is important. 5. Consider the Classics: For a classic look, stick to Japanese pearls, South Sea pearls, and Tahitian pearls. 6. Presentation: Pearls are stung with a knot separating each pearl from the next, so that if the strand breaks, you may at most have to look for one.
