Dress Age/Body Appropriate

August 8, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 


The biggest fashion tip I would give out to women for summertime fashion is to dress for the weather, but make sure you stay age/body appropriate. There are far too many women who are wearing clothes they should have stopped wearing thirty years ago. Also, people often forget when buying clothes or bikinis that they are buying for their own body, not the mannequin the article of clothing came off of. This includes old women wearing string bikinis, overweight women squeezing into skin tight shorts and belly shirts, and many other mistakes in fashion. Just because you are older now, and a trend has passed you by doesnít mean you have to pass it up completely. Take friends with you when you shop that you know will be honest, so they can let you know when you are close to crossing the line into having people stare at you for hours when you are trying to enjoy a lunch with your children. I believe the same thing goes about dressing for your body. If you are short, there are certain clothes that just don’t work for you. Many dresses need to be altered so they hang on your body the correct way, and don’t slip down too far past your knees resulting in a fall look instead of a summer one. Almost anything can be tailored for your body. Please remember to buy the right size clothing as well, instead of trying to fit into something that may have fit you before you had a child. With those two simple tips, I think any woman can have the right style that suits them this summer.

Sari is a favorite piece of clothing in India and is one of the most elegant of dresses. It is available in various textures. It is basically a 5.5 to 6 meter long piece of cloth some 4 feet wide. It could be made of chiffon, silk, cotton or polyester. It is draped around the waist on top of a petticoat with a lot of plaits in front and one end is taken over the shoulder and sometimes used to cover the head. There are various ways to wear a sari depending on the style you prefer. It is worn with a matching blouse. These days hand embroidered saris are very much in vogue and are a craze amongst the ladies in India. It is available all over India but silk saris from Varanasi are famous. In Bareilly is famous for zari-zardosi work and a lot of designers get it made from here. A lot of people wear printed saris too.

Target is My One-Stop-Shop for Summer

August 4, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 


My favorite place to shop for summer clothes is Target. I love Target because their clothes are always reasonably priced and so cute. Target really has an innovative line of designers, and I can always find something cute for $15 or $20.

I’ve been buying things from this store for a long time, and I’ve gotten really cute dresses, pants, tops, and shoes there. In fact, my favorite pair of flip flops that has been with me for a long time came from Target. And they were on sale for $2!

They also have a decent return policy and I’ve never had a problem returning anything there when I had second thoughts about it.

A healthy hair with perfect style gives you an additional beauty to anyone. It would be very difficult to maintain and tackle a long hair, especially during summer season. If you have a soft lengthy hair, by making a top knot would be suitable, but if it’s a long rough hair and slightly curled, it will be more difficult to manage during summer season. I would suggest you to have a mushroom cut during summer. Here are few tips on how to maintain a beautiful and healthy hair. As short hair style during summer will be more comfortable for women working outside the office, can avoid the perspiration smell, itching due to dryness and sweating.

But still maintaining and caring your short hair is also more important. Hence

• When taking bath or cleaning your hair, be gentle with it, never rub harshly with a towel. Wipe of the water gently from top to down.
• Do not use any heating devices such as a hair dryer to dry up your hair. Brush your hair to ensure that all knots have been removed before shampooing.
• Scalp massages are always very important for a healthy hair, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly.
• Add Cumin, turmeric and black pepper to your regular foods as they are some hair-friendly spices.
• Add a teaspoon of Olive oil into cooked vegetables and it will help your hair grow healthy.
• Drinking green tea causes the relaxation of blood vessels, it helps overall cardiovascular activity through increased circulation.

Use only home based conditioners to give a supplement to your hair to make it soft and healthy. Few tips to keep your hair moisturize and protect from chemicals.
• Beat the egg yolk until it’s fluffy. Add 1 tsp of baby oil and then beat again. Add the mixture to the water and massage into the scalp and apply throughout your hair after shampooing. Rinse well. You can also use a teaspoon of olive oil instead of baby oil.
• Mash an avocado well until it is entirely creamy. Apply it on damp hair and cover it with plastic cap for 30 minutes and then rinse well.
Now cherish your beautiful hair and be away from the chemical hair conditioners.

I Prefer Gucci Sunglasses

I prefer Gucci Sunglasses. Gucci Sunglasses look amazing on all faces. Gucci glasses are available in square, rectangular shapes. Gucci sunglasses will suit the face better than any other band. The best way to choose a pair of sunglass that suits us best is to select frames which contrast our face shape. Gucci designer sunglass is a hot accessory and all the designers include them in their fashion style line.

Gucci sunglasses use dark lenses and frames for both indoors and outdoors. Gucci sunglasses immediately conjure up images of fashionable styles that look good and work even better. Gucci has something for everyone who use it. Using the various shades available in Gucci sunglasses, we can see the world with our desired color.

It is significant to know that fashionable prescription sunglasses can improve your vision and also reduce eyestrain. The quality sunglasses can be polarized, thus reducing the glare of the sunlight. Make sure that you buy original Gucci sunglass because nowadays there are many fakes on the market.

Gladiators are a must-have for this summer. They come in all sorts of styles and are available at all price ranges. You can get strappy, metallic flat sandals or opt for a more feminine style with a wedge heel. Whether flat or heeled, gladiator sandals can be worn with everything from casual shorts to nicer skirts and dresses. They are a good investment, as you will wear them all the time and will surely stay in style for a few seasons. Gladiators showed up on runways starting two years ago have been seen on countless celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Mischa Barton, Heidi Klum and Kate Hudson.

Crinkly Cotton Shirts

July 19, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 


I have a crinkly cotton shirt, sheer with elbow length sleeves, in a lime green. I wear it a lot. In fact, I liked it so well I bought two others, in lemon yellow and orange. I call them my citrus sherbet shirts. They are loose fitting but not sloppy. These garments are easy to care for and always feel cool and comfortable, even on a sizzling hot day. I can dress them up with a little jewelry and wear them anywhere. They fit nicely under a cardigan sweater on a chilly day, too. No matter which one I wear, people say to me, “Nice color”.

Black Flip Flops from Target

July 18, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 


My favorite pair of shoes to wear in the summer is a pair of flip flops. They are so comfortable and breezy, I just love flip flops. I have a few pairs, but my absolute favorite is a pair that I bought on sale for $2 at the end of the summer one year at Target. They are nothing special, just plain black flip flops, but they are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned and since they are just black they go with everything. The sole of the shoe is a comfortable black foam, so no matter how far I walk in the summer my feet never get sore.

I Highly Recommed Not Wearing Anything Too Fitted in the Summer

July 17, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 


During the Summer Time, I highly recommend not wearing anything too fitted. Tank tops are okay, but sometimes they grip your body in an unpleasing way, and make you look larger than you actually are. Most women are not abruptly skinny, and cannot fashionably pull off just wearing a tank and jeans. Loose tanks, which do not hug your body, are a good call here. I highly recommend wearing loose t-shirts, or blouses which do not hug your body, and give you breathing room. I also recommend wearing a loose shirt-dress with leggings, and flats. Socks and shoes are not a good call in the summer.

Summer Fashion Tip: Go South Pacific!

July 10, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

My fashion tip for summer is to go South Pacific! The clothing from that part of the world, where the climate is tropical all year round, is just the thing to wear on hot summer days. T-shirts from Samoa, Fiji or New Zealand are great conversation pieces. Garments from Vanuatu are often appliqued with dolphins, an important symbol of their culture. Beautiful tailored shirts are made for the tourist market in bright colors and patterns, including nautical motifs. These look nice with strands of shells and seeds that are placed around the necks of visitors as a gesture that says “Welcome”.
