How to find the right fit for your figure- ladies jeans

We've all been on that treasure hunt for that perfect pair of jeans at one point in our lives. It's a process that takes effort, diligence. In extreme cases, this unavoidable style search could last for endless hours and leave even the most expert shoppers feeling defeated at the end of the day. Classic blue jeans will always remain a yearlong style staple, so it's important to find ones that do your body some good. Since the task of finding this "perfect fit" might seem daunting,  Everyone deserves to find their own true love in a pair of jeans, so take a peek at my denim guide below and allow me to simplify your search.....

If you're pear shaped... A pear shaped body type tends to carry weight in the hips, rear, and legs–the lower half. A mid-rise, balanced style will flatter your shape because it will elongate your legs. Ideally, you should search for pair of moderate skinnies.



 
If you are apple shaped  provide a little more "give" in the waistline, because they tend to carry their weight around the middle. Choose a fit that has a straight leg so that it shows off your assets, but without making you look middle-heavy.

If you curvy- curvy body types must be very careful to select a style that will create a slimming effect in all the right places. Show off your curves by picking a pair that hugs your assets and          flatters .If you're a curvy girl with a small waist you can rock the high-waisted trouser look because  the cut will flatter your tiny middle area. Lately, be sure to go for dark wash denim                            

If you're tall   A low-rise pair will help give your shape proportion, and a high-rise style will make your legs look like they go on for days make sure that whatever style you choose emphasizes your best feature.                                                                                                                                          

The  pair of jeans that truly flatters your figure and hugs your body perfectly will always stay in style. At the end of the day, try on a lot of different styles and see what you feel the most comfortable in.      Personally, I adore dark denim skinny jeans. It took me a little while to figure out that this color and    cut is my go-to. Now that I know what works for me, I can confidently shop for denim

About Men's Boat Shoes...Struggling?

Yo, a stylish guy wannabe people listen up!

Today, I am going to talk about shoes that are trendy among guys.

I assume that a lot of men would struggle with one simple accessory, of course in this context, it's Shoes!
You probably ask your girl friend, your wife, your mom......really?  Is your fashion sense that bad? lol
too many questions about how you look with clothes and accessories you currently own.
BECAUSE they are, of course, betterrrrrrrrrrr than you! They are just simply better..no reason...;(

Anyway, this shoe trend has suddenly been so popular in menswear.
All of a sudden you saw companies like Sperry Top-Siders, Sebago and Toms marketing leather, suede and even patent boat shoes. They can compliment any look and are a new classic for any mans wardrobe.

A Story About Men's Boat Shoes

The first pair of boat shoes for men was designed way back in 1935. And since that time their popularity has increased with every passing year. The thing I love about boat shoes is that they are very simple yet very functional. The original design was made from a moccasin shoe with side lacing and material that was water resistant.

Since leather or canvas is used on the upper layer, the shoe is extremely comfortable. The leather has a water resistant coating which makes it perfect for those who will be in wet conditions. It also has a rubber sole to prevent you from slipping. When boat shoes for men first came out they were only popular among people who would be out at sea.

But in the 1980's all of that changed. Boat shoes had now become a fashion statement They were now the must have shoes for every man. The great thing about men's boat shoes is that they are very versatile. You can keep it casual or you can go formal. If you are the kind of man who loves loafers, you will love boat shoes for men.

As usual, we have rules to be off the hook with this trend

from OH WOW YOU WORE THAT

Rule #1 – Never wear your boat shoes lighter than your pants or shorts. The only exception to this is white boat shoes.

Rule #2 – Don’t wear socks! If you must, go for something that will not be visible.

Rule #3 – Make sure your feet don’t smell! Wash them with anti bacterial soap daily and be sure to sprinkle foot powder in the soles to keep them in top of the line shape!

Guys, I know that it might feel and look weird for someone about this sockless fashion. 

However, we are here talking about style. Got It?

The Beauty Bubble-Make up

Make up has been around for several centuries already Beauty things and the beautiful people always attract others towards them. Beauty has always been on the top of everything. Everyone wants to look more beautiful and gorgeous; everyone wants to look unique and different from all other. Everyone like, being a centre of attention for everyone, due to beauty. But to look beautiful, one needs to do something. One can achieve nothing without doing something. In the same way, to look stunning beauty, one needs to do many things, and needs to take great care of everything, like diet, fitness, color of skin, dark spots, hairs.

 Natural beauty is not everything, if all the women are wearing amazing makeup but one is without makeup, then the one without makeup can never look more gorgeous and beautiful than those with makeup. Wearing makeup has been a most important thing for women, a basic necessity for all the women all over the world.

Why is wearing make up important? Why brush your hair? It comes down to enhancing your personal appearance.  It is my feeling that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they carry themselves, the way they communicate with you and others and of course by the way they look. When someone takes the time to brush their hair, tuck in their shirt and even swipe a little mascara on their eyelashes then that sends a message that they care about the way they look and they want you to care about it also.

LEATHER CLUTCHES

ONE SHOULDER HANDBAG

Handbag for me means a private space, a location in the world to order my things and by extension, parts of myself.It is a chance to see and touch something pretty and find pleasure in its beauty.Its about showing some style ,even when i look awful.Handbags always "fit" even i gain or lose too much weight to dress as i'd prefer, and if it is well-made it will last forever.shoes and clothes are flooring wear out but handbags really have staying power if they are of quality material and it doesn't hurt to have some to rotate.

It's time to work

Women's suits are often part of the professional dress code, and many offer the choice between skirts and dress pants. Although women's suits need to be professional, a variety of fabrics and colors keep wardrobe options fresh and offer you the ability to pair your suit with existing blouses in for a new look. Even if you work in a casual setting, it is wise to have a women's suit on hand for special occasions. 

• Women suits at westfield

• skirt styles. Many professional offices observe a conservative dress code, and skirt suits are dressier than pantsuits. Keepdress suits simple and classy in neutral colors such as navy, beige, black and brown. Skirts should be hemmed right above the kneecap or just below it, and suitable blouses for conservative skirt suits are high-cut to avoid showing too much cleavage. To ensure skirts look flattering on any figure, look for styles that offer waist reinforcement and lines to provide structure.

• A pantsuit. A pantsuit is professional and comfortable. Look for pants that are straight-cut or slightly flared at the hem to pair with heels or dress boots, and try a high-waisted style for a structured look. 

Smart-buy

1. We need to Choose appropriate fabric. For year-round wear, a dress suit made of worsted wool keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The high-quality wool fabric is soft and lightweight and commonly comes in such colours as gray, black and navy. 
2. To get the most flattering suit for your body shape, note the areas of the body that need special attention. For curvy women, suits with wide necklines, rounded lapels and double-breasted jackets balance out the body. Suits that have pointed lapels and straight-cut jackets, skirts or pants mostly flatter tall, angular women. Petite women can create the illusion of being taller with solid-colored suits and those that feature a subtle pinstripe pattern. A-line skirts are flattering to women of all sizes because they hug the hips and slightly flare out at the hem, balancing out the body.

Accessory- Men's watch

If you're a man who cares about style, you probably own or want to own a few watches: an everyday watch,

Wathces Tell More Than Time

They tell your station in life. They tell whether you are hip and trendy or conservative.

The Fashion Of Watches

Watches have become a fashion statement over the past 15 years. When a man once had a watch for his entire lifetime and maybe received a gold watch for his retirement or from his in-laws to be at his wedding, now most men have several watches; an oversized steel one for sport, one for work, and a gold one fro dress. In the past few years, many men have started collecting watches, and an average collector may have fifty in his wardrobe with a special display box. Nowadays, it doesn't matter what the brand or price range — bigger is better. Just a few years ago 38mm was considered large, now 44mm is standard; the bigger the toy the bigger the effect.

Ladies will have at least an everyday steel watch with diamonds and a gold watch for dress. Watches come with interchangeable straps to coordinate with outfits. Never has a watch had so much fashion appeal. One's watch also makes more than a fashion statement,

Audemars Piguet has partnered with various celebrities and charities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, a notorious watch collector, and introduced the "Governator", a steel watch with the governor of California's Seal on the case. The only way to get one of the 25 pieces available was to give a $25,000 donation directly to the Governor's after school charity. That is, after signing a contract not to sell the watch at auction for at least five years after purchase. What a statement that watch makes, I am a philanthropist and I make great investments, not to mention I have good taste and great connections.

When it comes to watches, the more complicated the better. These are very popular because only those in the know understand the value of the piece. What looks like an average strap watch with cool stuff on the face could be a rare and intricate piece of machinery, These and the more complex, the pricier they get. These are more like works of art than timepieces.
In fact, waiting is name of the game in the watch industry. The new models debut in Switzerland in January and April. Jewelers put their clients on waiting lists for the hottest and rarest models. There are some that are limited edition and some that are so difficult to produce that only a 2-3 come into the country per year. These are the most coveted and it is necessary to have a good relationship with your jeweler just to get a look at these beauties.
Most companies make the same model in several versions, with varying complications. They can range from an all steel sport model to the a timepiece with the highest complications and several functions, such as a Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar, which displays: hours, minutes and seconds; a perpetual calendar with displays for the date, day-of-the-week, month, year and a leap year indicator; a perpetual moon-phase display, and to round it off, probably the most complex watch mechanism of them all—a minute repeater which announces the time acoustically in hours, quarters and minutes on tiny gongs.

Fashion wouldn't be fashion without our style icons. Blake Lively is the epitome of human styling. She's the perfect resemblance of the everyday, modern woman. Her looks are chic, ready to go, effortless beauty. She's always up to date and makes it look so easy! Lively seems to manage this by combining key fashion pieces and throwing them together with bolder ones. She's not afraid of colour or to try new things. Her look is known as the 'tumble out of bed' look and her choices seem to be very much affected by her gossip girl character Serena Vander Woodsen. If there's anything to be learned by Blake it is to be comfortable, be confident and always wear what you feel best in.
