Wisdom


I don’t know, I don’t really follow trends. I think it’s important for girls to dress for themselves and express themselves through fashion and kinda not pay attention to trends. Women all have different bodies, different shapes and sizes, and walk different paths and journeys… so I believe you have to dress for yourself, and be comfortable and confidant.

The secrets 2 looking slimmer…enjoy girls!!!!!




Kim Kardashian is doing it in Alexander McQueen


Everyone, EVERYONE wants to have that slim, beautiful body, but unfortunately it doesn’t always happen that way. Weather we don’t have time for the gym, or we just basically get lazy, sometimes fitness isn’t always at the top of our list (even if we think about it all the time!). So here are some secrets to not being slimmer, but at least looking slimmer!


Wear Monochromatic Colors
Staying away from patterns and an array of different colors is a good idea because you don’t draw so much attention to your problem areas. So try wearing no more than two colors at a time.


Stay Away From Baggy Clothes
Baggy clothes don’t hide your imperfections, they make them stand out! The best thing you can do is wear clothes that fit you. Not ones that are baggy, but not ones that are too tight either.


Buy the right size.
 Clothes that are too tight will show every flaw and excess pound your body has, and clothes that are too baggy will make it look heavier than you actually are. Only clothes that fit you properly will flatter you.



Wear Accessories
Again, accessories draw attention from any problem areas. So try stacking up some bangles on your arms, a long pair of necklaces, or just a sparkling brooch.


Wear a Lower Waistline
Choose pants that have lower waistlines. Make sure they have a flat front and no pleats, as that will make you look bigger. The lower waistline helps elongate your legs. Make sure the pants are long enough and they don’t cut off at the ankle.


Introduce a little black into your wardrobe.
 Black has a slimming effect and can look especially nice on trousers, skirts, and dresses. Do not overdo it, however. Too much black can easily create a drab, depressing look, so you should pair it with other colors.


Hide problem areas.
For instance, if you carry excess weight in your stomach, look for tunics and wrap tops that glide over your stomach without drawing attention to it. Lean toward clothing that carefully masks your problem areas without adding too much bulk.


Belt Mania
Wearing belts can give you longer legs, if you know how to wear them. Position it lower on your hips.


Opt for vertical details and avoid horizontal details.
Think pinstripes, pleats, and vertical zippers, and avoid horizontal stripes or rows of embellishments. Vertical details prompt the eye to look up and down instead of side to side, which helps create the illusion of slenderness.

You Can Wear skinny jeans as Well as Bellbottoms
You can actually still wear skinny jeans as long as you pair them with a voluminous top or a long blazer. Make sure to add some sexy hells .Bellbottoms are best worn with a fitted top.


Wear undergarments that fit.
 This is especially important when selecting a bra. The right bra helps you shape your silhouette by keeping your chest in check and your waist defined. Avoid styles that flatten you completely or styles that allow your bust the sag.


Good luck!!

About Shoes







Dolce&Gabbana Spring/Summer 2012 Collection


Guys please read THE Golden Rules:

1. Women always check out a guy's shoes!
For many girls, a bad, dirty and discounting pair of shoes can spoil a guy's entire outfit. So like it or not, you're going to have to a) own more than one kind of shoe, -jajaja yeah I know expensive but trust me- and b), match your shoes to your entire outfit. Fortunately, matching your shoes to your outfit is easy. Follow these simple rules:
* For casual wear, go with loafers or skater sneakers
* For clubbing, stick to loafers or dress shoes
* For a formal occasion, wear dress shoes
* For shorts, wear sandals or flip flops (only if u have great legs please wear shorts LOL)

2. NEVER wear socks with sandals
Nerd!! Sure, it's nice to give those feet a little extra warmth, but let me tell you: there is very few things women hate more than this footwear choice, especially if your sock choice is a pair of blinding-white tube socks! Ask any woman in the world - to them, wearing socks with sandals is an extremely heinous act. EEWWW

3. Running shoes are for the gym ONLY
As a kid you wore the same pair of running shoes for just about everything. As an adult, that just doesn't cut it anymore. Sometimes you can pull off stylish basketball shoes and jeans, but to be on the safe side keep any athletic shoes you own for the gym only (besides skater sneakers.)

4. White socks are only worn during athletic activities
If you're wearing very small socks that do not show outside of your shoes, then it doesn't matter what color they are. (Even they are pink.) However, most male socks DO show above the shoes, so listen up! Gleaming, bright-white socks, worn beneath jet-black dress shoes - do you see a problem here??? For some reason the white athletic sock seems to be firmly entrenched in North America, but it's time for it to be banished to the locker room! You want your socks to complement your shoes and pants - not stand out on their own! Also, you'll want to keep your sock-length on the shorter side, unless you're a 1970's NBA basketball player, and by the way it’s 2012 One last thing... again, never, EVER, wear white socks with dress shoes. PLEASE

By the way my friend  has great sense of style 

 You´re welcome girls.

Sunscreen


If you are going to be out in the Sun for a long time you need to wear a sunscreen or sunblock. These lotions contain chemicals that absorb certain harmful rays of the Sun (ultraviolet rays), keeping them from penetrating your skin. This protection is important because these rays can hurt you, causing painful sunburns that damage the tissues beneath the surface of your skin. Damaging your skin's deep elastic layer makes it look old and wrinkled a lot earlier than it should. 





Sunscreen’s the one beauty product that helps prevent skin cancer and premature aging (and by this I mean all those lines, wrinkles, and spots that you otherwise wouldn’t get until you’re 70 if you stayed indoors.)

It can be hard to figure out the exact color you should use on your eyebrows. Sometimes we are taught to match your hair color exactly and there is some truth to that. However that doesn't work for everyone. Here is a simple guide to help you choose the best color for you.
Blonde-Blonde
Dark Blonde/Light Brown-Blonde pencil or light brown powder

Leather Shorts


Leather Shorts? Yeah!! Why not?  They are perfect for wearing to a casual dinner, movies in the park, or a bar. The trick is to wear them a little loose, not skin tight. I got mine a size up from what I would normally buy.

The Sleeping Beauty!!


I have a secret I want to tell you:  My husband call me The Sleeping Beauty!! Yes I love to sleep.  I could be a professional sleeper.  LOL I have this need to sleep.  My blanket and pillow are so comforting.  I have been doing this my whole life.  When I say sleep I'm talking anywhere from 9 to 10 hours a day.  No it's not depression. However A few years ago, I had a terrible time sleeping and getting up. I was eventually able to overcome that problem and now have a way to get a good night’s sleep anytime. I need to get back in the habit I enjoy. Some of you may be wondering what about fashion? Well every woman deserves to look and feel beautiful! Even when they are sleeping,so get a beautiful pj´s, braid your hair and sweet dreams!!
