Spending a few weeks away from your parents, being with your friends, and of coarse the great outdoors. Now I am one of the parents and would like my kids to have a similar experience. I volunteered to help our church plan the summer camp activities again this year, and I was put in charge of getting shirts printed for the kids. I had never done this before and was wondering where to start. Luckily, my dad suggested me to try LoveThoseShirts.com. He owns his own business and said he has been ordering custom t-shirts from them for years. Yes, I had seen him wearing them from time to time and it looks same after a number of wash but I never asked where he got them.<br /><br />He told me that they carry several name brands and the prices are very affordable. I decided to check it out and was very surprised. Not only do they have a bunch of shirts to choose from, they also have varieties of hoodies, caps and many other clothes for men, women and youth and they print all sorts of stuff. Their website was very fun and easy to use. After you pick what kind of shirt you want, you then pick a color and then it take you to the designer page. They have all kinds of art that you can manipulate however you want and a bunch of fonts to choose from. I had no idea you could just get on the Internet and design your own custom t-shirts.<br /><br />I had my custom t-shirts delivered in less than two weeks and they didn’t charge me a penny for freight. Amazing right? I just couldn’t wait to open the box to see my creation. Well, that’s how I see it anyway. They came out perfect, the other planners thought so too. I was so relieved that everything turned out okay and everybody liked the custom t-shirts. If only they knew how easy it was. I think the good Lord was defiantly looking out for us again. I had a lot of fun designing custom t-shirts for the kids. I hope they will love me and be glad about my work. I will order some more shirts in upcoming days for my personal use.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-86517577880812366762010-04-29T02:39:00.000-07:002010-04-29T02:48:56.146-07:00Cheap Over sized Sunglasses for summer fashion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9lVtYIWtoI/AAAAAAAAADw/oZNPp3JVliM/s1600/Over+sized+sunglasses.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9lVtYIWtoI/AAAAAAAAADw/oZNPp3JVliM/s400/Over+sized+sunglasses.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465493860850775682" border="0" /></a><br />A pair of sunglasses is one of the main accessories for giving a cool and trendy look.

Not only clothes take part in forming the style. Accessories are also very important; no style can be complete without a trendy necklace, bracelets or other little details. As far as during this season of the year you have to cover your head for you may get sunstroke. A hat or a bonnet may become a perfect accessory to fulfill your style and express character. <p>The latest trend these days is a hat made of straws. What you must have in your wardrobe is a black straw hat with wide edges and a rounded vertex girded with a band. This kind of hat is definitely the most fashionable this summer. Although black is very popular, you may choose any other dark color that would fit better with your clothes. If you're planning a trip to the beach where women commonly wear light dresses, pick a white hat and you'll look perfect. </p> <p>Another fashionable way to cover your head is a cap. Of course you have to pick them very carefully and it definitely goes with sporty style or jeans. Men should pick washed pigment-dyed caps. You don't have to buy a new one and make it look as if it was used for 10 years, you'll undoubtedly find those i<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9lQaAKjqxI/AAAAAAAAADY/PWU0R33CT0g/s1600/9426summer_hats.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9lQaAKjqxI/AAAAAAAAADY/PWU0R33CT0g/s400/9426summer_hats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465488030441909010" border="0" /></a>n any fashionable shop. While men are into "dirty" style, women are suggested caps with flowers. A bright colored cap will surely make you look trendy and add charm to your appearance.</p> <p>It's a must for a real lady to have a bonnet. It's very hard to define what is on top, because top is originality. Large bonnets of any color decorated with flowers and bands are always trendy; however, you may find something very different and look amazing. Bonnets are not for everyday use. Original bonnet will make you noticeable and complete your style better than any other accessory. </p> <p>If you can't find a hat or a bonnet that fits to your style or your face shape, choose an original and very practical way to cover your head. Wear a turban. Yes, it's very original and fashionable. You may choose any material and tie it up any way you like. It goes perfectly with any style. Moreover, it creates a characterized style. </p> <p>Crocheted hats are also popular. However, there is one problem - it's rather hard to find one in a shop, because if you'll purchase not an original one you'll certainly notice other females/males wearing the same. You have to find an originally designed one or make it yourself. You can be sure that if it'll be self-made you'll receive compliments not only for hat but also for your good work. </p> <p>You have to be very careful while choosing a hat or a bonnet. However, this summer is a great chance to start wearing it, because no matter what you choose - you look trendy. You're already fashionable if you wear one! And you may feel free to experiment with various materials and forms. Being original this season means being fashionable. </p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-59539988883386028192010-04-29T02:14:00.000-07:002010-04-29T02:20:03.856-07:00Jewelry fashion trends 2010Planning to purchase new jewelry? There are so many things you like that you do not know what to choose? If you are a fashionable person, you should as well choose fashionable jewelry. Accessory is the thing that'll make your style complete, so be patient and choosy and you won't make any mistakes. <p>Jewelry fashion industry concentrates on accessories of various styles and materials. First of all you have to choose the material, which will make it easier for you to choose the model. Only after you've decided what kind of material you want, start looking for some certain thing. Don't forget to consider your style issues before purchasing a certain thing. Although in most cases accessory is used to fulfill the style, sometimes it can be used to create a style, so be careful and decide what is creating your looks - clothing or accessory. </p> <p><img src="http://www.jurgita.com/pictures/articles/18683632744832d67e26599.jpg" alt="" style="float: right;" />The most fashionable material for today is definitely silver. If you prefer gold, you should choose white gold. Silver is so popular because it goes perfectly with almost any other material. Moreover, it is less noticeable and helps to create bohemian style, which is very fashionable for this moment. If you want to be really trendy, choose bracelets and necklaces that are made of silver and ge<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9lO9G2tAGI/AAAAAAAAADQ/C1Jj7f2tGJc/s1600/02jewellery.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9lO9G2tAGI/AAAAAAAAADQ/C1Jj7f2tGJc/s400/02jewellery.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465486434509848674" border="0" /></a>ms. Such combination is on top. </p> <p>It is very easy to match silver and gems with any style, for you may choose gems of various colors and types, so it would match the coloring of your wardrobe. You don't have to purchase a whole complex of jewelry (usually consist of ring, earrings, necklace and bracelet), because such peaces goes together perfectly even if they are different. </p> <p>Another popular material is surely diamond. It's very elegant and creates an image of luxury, so you should prefer appropriate style if you want to wear accessory made of diamond. Diamond is used together with metal. Silver, platinum or white gold incrassated with diamond is the ultimate choice if you want to look really trendy. </p> <p>Not so long ago massive jewelry was on top, however today fashion says no to huge accessory details. Yet there's a way out even if you like bigger jewelry. You may purchase any size jewelry peace if it's made of material that creates illusion of lightness. The illusion is usually achieved by using small peaces of material instead of big. </p> <p>For those who don't like metal, jewelry fashion designers offer accessory made of such materials as stone, pearls, felted wool, wood or even bone. Just like with all materials you have to be very careful while choosing one of those. The benefit of such jewelry is that you'll surely look very original and fashionable. </p> <p>No matter what material or color you choose, the most important thing is that jewelry must serve as a fulfillment of your style. While choosing your accessory, the first thing you should consider is whether the jewelry will serve its function and match perfectly with your clothing and its coloring. However, don't ever purchase the thing you don't like. </p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-52344040314933068682010-04-28T05:57:00.000-07:002010-04-28T06:31:31.078-07:00Ten Tips To Dress Thinner look<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9g4nyALhHI/AAAAAAAAADA/3-H4a2TYhoU/s1600/Ivana-helsinki-dress.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9g4nyALhHI/AAAAAAAAADA/3-H4a2TYhoU/s400/Ivana-helsinki-dress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465180403902678130" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Not everyone can wear the ‘perfect’ size 6. If you are a woman who seeks to slim her appearance when she dresses, this article is just for you. <p>Let's look at how to: <strong>Dress to Look Thinner</strong></p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #1: Wear the right size.</h3> <p>No outfit is going to take 20 pounds off your hips, but choosing the right clothing that fits properly can go a long way to slimming your look. If clothes are too tight, all the bulges, rolls, dimples, or any other flaw you may have will show through. If clothes are too big, they add bulk and can make you look heavier than you actually are.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #2: Long skirts for tall women, below the knee for short.</h3> <p>If you are very tall, you can wear a longer skirt that will elongate the look of your body and thus make you appear leaner. If you are shorter, a longer skirt might make you appear even shorter, but a skirt that falls right below the knee will help you appear a bit taller and leaner. Avoid ankle length skirts if you are short and avoid above the knee skirts if you are tall.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #3: Patterns fool the eye.</h3> <p>Optical illusion patterns, diagonal stripes, zig zags and the like can fool the eye and detract from problem areas. However, avoid horizontal and vertical stripes because these both can cause you to appear heavier.</p>ntal and vertical stripes because these both can cause you to appear heavier.<div id="TixyyLink" style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"><br /><br /></div><br /><h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #4: V-line neck and waist.</h3> <p>A V-neck outfit can help draw attention away from the middle area, thus slimming your entire appearance, while a V-line waist on a skirt or dress can really help reduce the appearance of bulk at the waist and top of the hips.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #5: Boot-cut pants, no flared or tapered legs.</h3> <p>If you have larger hips and thighs, when you wear pants, you do not want to wear the slim ankle or flare cut pant legs. The best cut for slimming is the boot-cut pant leg, because this will give a more symmetrical appearance and thus make you appear thinner.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #6: Avoid middle/waist bulk.</h3> <p>Avoid bulky scarves and belts around the waist, especially if your problem area includes your hips and waist.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #7: Wear heeled shoes.</h3> <p>If you can, wear at least a small heel on your shoe. The higher the heel on your shoe, the more slimming the effect. Heeled shoes slightly change the center of gravity as well as accentuating the usually smaller lower part of the legs while adding height – all things that cause you to look thinner.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #8: Minimum jewelry, size appropriate.</h3> <p>Avoid bulky jewelry, especially around the neckline. However, at the same time, if you are a larger women wearing very small pieces of jewelry, this can add to the illusion you are bigger than you really are. Pick jewelry appropriate to your size, without a lot of bulk.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #9: Avoid pleats.</h3> <p>Where it’s darts in shirts, pleated pants or skirts, pleats will pull when moving and if you have a bit of extra weight, they will not help accentuate your best features. This is especially true of your stomach area when wearing skirts or pants – avoid pleats.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Dress Thinner Tip #10: Foundation garments. </h3> <p>Yes, ladies, this means your underwear! It’s ironic this article ends where the dressing begins, but foundation garments make all the difference.</p> <p>Bra straps that are too tight cause rolls or bulges. Panties that bind and don’t move with you can do the same not to mention those unsightly panty lines. Hosiery also can help slim your appearance. Body slimmer undergarments or foundation garments that fit properly can make a huge difference in how you look once you put on your clothes.</p><div id="TixyyLink" style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"><br /><br /></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-89233485706880536122010-04-28T05:51:00.000-07:002010-04-28T05:54:12.020-07:00Old Makeup is Out of Style Now<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9gv2_e9N0I/AAAAAAAAACg/KWBmp5VyogU/s1600/old-makeup-300x294.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 294px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9gv2_e9N0I/AAAAAAAAACg/KWBmp5VyogU/s400/old-makeup-300x294.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465170769614812994" border="0" /></a><br /><p>How do you know when a cosmetic item isn't good anymore? Beautiful vintage cosmetics as collectibles are one thing, but no one should use them on their face. Here are some general guidelines about shelf life for some products, but always keep common sense in mind. If it smells bad, separates, or changes color, kick it to the curb! Read on for some great beauty tips and advice.</p> <p><b>Foundation:</b> There are two different types of foundation: water-based and oil-based. These will last for 12 months and 18 months, respectively, after they are opened. If you notice that it starts to smell sour or turn off-color before then, head out to buy a new one.</p> <p><b>Concealer:</b> Can be used for up to 12 months, but toss it if it starts to look caked when you apply it under the eye area.<br /></p> <p><b>Powder:</b> Loose powder will last up to two years. Pressed powder usually lasts only about a year, because the oils in the sponge break it down if the sponge isn't cleaned regularly. It helps to keep that little plastic barrier that comes with the pressed powder between the powder and the sponge.</p> <p><b>Eye shadow:</b> Can keep up to three years. If it starts to get crumbly, treat yourself to some new shadows. </p> <p><b>Eyeliner:</b> Will last up to three years, just be sure to sharpen them regularly. Twist-up liners sometimes tend to dry out after a while. If it's dry or tugs at your eye area when you apply it, then get rid of it.</p> <p><b>Mascara:</b> Will last up to four months. If you keep it any longer the mascara can dry out and flake. Here is a great tip: do not pump the mascara wand because it pumps air into the tube, which in turn dries out the mascara. The best way to get more mascara on the wand is to twirl it around the tube, scraping the sides without lifting the wand out. Then, take it out and use one side of the wand for one eye and flip to the other for the other eye.<b><br /></b></p> <p><b>Lipstick:</b> This one is up for some debate. Some experts say one to two years is as long as you want to keep it. The best way to judge is to smell it. If it smells rancid or different from how it originally smelled, pitch it. Besides, isn't shopping for a new lipstick fun? </p> <p><b>Cleansers and Moisturizers:</b> Good for up to one year. Try not to stick your fingers into the jar. Use a cotton swab so that you don't contaminate the product.<b><br /></b></p> <p><b>Nail Polish:</b> Up to 12 months if you keep it standing upright. If it starts to separate and you get a yellowish layer, then it's time to say goodbye.<b><br /></b></p> <p><b>Brushes:</b> Great quality brushes will last a lifetime, and they should because they can cost a fortune! Wash them with a gentle face soap and dry by laying them down so that water doesn't leak into the brush handle. You should wash your brushes every two weeks, or three if you have dry skin. Oilier skin causes more build up on the brushes, so they may need to be washed weekly. </p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-42078034295039282282010-04-28T05:43:00.000-07:002010-04-28T05:50:00.610-07:00Creating a Natural Celebrity Look<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9guxVRveXI/AAAAAAAAACY/ZTaxgaa9noo/s1600/Aida_Yespica_-_Italian_TV_celebrity.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9guxVRveXI/AAAAAAAAACY/ZTaxgaa9noo/s400/Aida_Yespica_-_Italian_TV_celebrity.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465169572874123634" border="0" /></a><br /><p>When stars aren’t glamming it up on the red carpet, they still look great.

For hazel eyes, you’re going to use a color that’s a little bit cooler; a plum or a purple. The complimentary color for blue eye color is orange. But you can use bronze, cooper or gold or any color that’s a little bit warmer if you have blue eyes. </p> <p>A good way to remember warm and cool colors is that warm colors come from the sun and cool colors come from the water. That’s just the rule of the thumb though; you don’t really have to do that. You can use any color you want, as long as you feel comfortable wearing it. </p> <p>Start out by applying a paint to the eyelids. This is a base that goes underneath the eyeshadow that’s going to help the it stick. It’s also going to enhance the color. </p> <p>This is a crease proof product. It’s really important to use something like this if your eyelids tend to get oily during the day and if your eyeshadow creases.</p> <p>Remember to always powder your lids before you put your eyeshadow on, this will also prevent your eyeshadow from creasing.</p> <p>Apply the paint over the entire eyelid, all the way up to the brow bone and blend it outward. Just applying it lightly, you don’t want it to be very thick or else, it’ll make the eyeshadow look a bit cakey.</p> <p>Then, use a nice neutral color for the lid and apply this right to the lid and on top of that paint. Don’t take it all the way to the brow because we’re going to use something a little bit lighter for the brow bone. </p> <p>We want to make sure that the eyeshadow doesn’t fall below the lash line. Because if it does, it will make your eyes look that they’re sagging down or downturned</p> <p>For the brow bone, use the lightest color that you use on your eyes. Apply some color just to the tip of a brush and put it on the crease and just do a little windshield wiper movements right there. This movement just kinds of create a natural crease. </p> <p>Now, use a foundation brush and clean up the sides of your eyes. It’s normal for some of your eyeshadow to fall down below your top lid. You just make sure that you clean that up so that your make-up looks more sculptured and fresh.</p> <p>Then use a clean brush and blend the color in just by using circular motions. You want to use the windshield wiper movement to apply and circular motions to blend the colors.</p> When you’ve got that all blended, use a little bit of a darker color and apply that to the outer corner of the eye. Because the natural contour of the eyes is a little bit darker on the outside, this is going to make theSarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-34244684731174495782010-04-28T05:33:00.000-07:002010-04-28T05:43:46.886-07:00Make Up Basics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9gsZhvKAII/AAAAAAAAACQ/YuQBdnCONHg/s1600/makeuptechniques.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 255px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S9gsZhvKAII/AAAAAAAAACQ/YuQBdnCONHg/s400/makeuptechniques.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465166964878606466" border="0" /></a><br />Therefore whenever you’re ready to give some make over on your face, you’ve to kickoff with clean and fresh face by applying an effective facial cleanser. <p>Focus on good looking Part: This might seem like common sense yet it’s a must and to concentrate on your most aphrodisiacal feature. For instance if you’ve broad eyes with long thin eyelashes, then try to bring more flavor to your smoky eyes to get aphrodisiac look. There is one more thing which you need to focus on, which are your lips. They make temptation, whenever you keep your lips toned down.

But while fashion trends tend to burn out within a few years, the women's military fashion trend isn't going anywhere, though like all true fashion trends, in 2010 the military trend will evolve. Gone (but not quite) are the decadent lashings inspired by military uniforms of the Georgian and Victorian eras. Rather, military is now about functionality and utility. If the 18th and 19th centuries originally inspired women's military fashion, then it's true to say that in 2010 it's inspired by the military uniforms of the 20th century.</p> <p>Think functionality. Think understatement.</p> <p><img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/fashiontrends/militaryfashion2010.jpg" alt="military fashion" /></p><p><br /></p><h1>Functional military clothing in 2010</h1> <p>Perhaps understatement is the wrong word for the military trend for Spring 2010 and Autumn / Fall 2010. After all, there are obvious military connotations - they're just not as obvious as in past years.</p> <h3>Key Elements</h3> <p>Women's military fashion runs parallel to the new men's military fashion trend in that there are several key motifs:</p> <ul><li><strong>Army green</strong> is <em>the</em> colour, followed a distant second by navy.</li><li>A <strong>great coat</strong> / <strong>military jacket</strong> is the key piece for the Autumn (Fall) / Winter wearing of the style.</li><li>If army green is the trend's colour, then <strong>shearling</strong> is it's fabric. And that's because of it's dual use as a an embellishment on <strong>aviator boots</strong> / <strong>military fashion boots</strong> and a coat's <strong>collar</strong>.</li></ul> <h3>How to wear it in 2010</h3> <p>For the military fashion trend pick from the two key looks: <strong>army</strong> and <strong>aviator</strong>.</p> <p>While the army interpretation is all about army greens it can still be broadly interpreted and we've seen it styled successfully with everything from cropped shearling collared coats to loose fitting cargo pants. A word of warning though: we have the odd occurrence of camouflage print, we'd recommend you avoid it for the time being - it's simply too soon a come back.</p> <p><em>For more inspiration pictures view the gallery at the bottom of this page or view the links in '2010 military fashion trend inspiration' for lots more pictorials.</em></p> <p>The aviator interpretation of the trend is far less open. It's about a sleek look with slim cuts. And forget military green, this is all about darker hues with dark-brown leather jackets.</p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-43370472617760917002010-04-20T14:21:00.000-07:002010-04-20T14:26:28.102-07:00Future warrior: women's fashion trend<p>Military fashion may have been big for some time now... but guess what? It's evolving. Ancient warlords and kings have stormed the imagination of the fashion world, and elements of military history have been reinterpreted with a modern - often futuristic - twist. A little wilder, a little more fierce, the new military brings ancient civilisations and their warriors to life for this 2010 fashion trend.</p> <p class="small grey centre"><img src="http://www.fashionising.com/media/fashiontrends/warriorfashiontrend.jpg" alt="Warrior fashion" /></p><h3>Future warrior: what is it</h3> <p>A combination of the military fashion trend and the more savage side of the tribal fashion trend, the new <strong>warrior</strong> leaves the formal and decorated style of military detailing behind. The ancient world is at the centre of this trend - from ancient Rome, to Egypt, to the Celtic warrior woman. To bring the look into 2010, the historical elements are modernised or melded with futuristic twists.</p> <h3><a name="elements"></a>Elements of the future warrior trend</h3> <ul><li>Metal plating</li><li>Tunics; especially in leather</li><li>Chain-mail inspired detailing</li><li>Tribal inspired motifs</li></ul> <h3><a name="howto"></a>The warrior fashion trend: how to wear it</h3> <p>This isn't the sort of trend where rules should be laid down; it's open to interpretation and rich with possibility. It's not intended to be taken too literally either, and works best when an outfit gives the <em>impression</em> of some underlying fierceness rather than the overt look of a costume. So again no strict rules, but some pointers:</p> <ul><li>Be creative, be confident; wear it with conviction.</li><li>Mix some of the elements listed above in with more glamorous pieces. Sequins as a perfect example can give a look that's modern mixed with metal.</li><li>Mix ultra-feminine with tough warrioress. For example soft, flowing fabric against sharp metal plating or studded straps.</li><li>Invest in accessories that will give any outfit a warrior edge; like studded leather belts, new and edgier takes on the gladiator sandal, jewellery based on ancient cultures.</li></ul> <p>For more inspiration on how to wear the look, visit the gallery of warrior trend pictures below.</p> <h3><a name="wearwith"></a>Fashion trends complimentary to 'warrior clothes'</h3> <ul><li>With anything warrior inspired be sure to not overlook leather. It can add a hard edge or historical authenticity</li><li>Look to the tribal fashion trend for inspiration. But remember that in 2010, the warrior trend is more Dark Ages than bright kaftan. Thus look to the detailing, particularly in tribal accessories and jewellery.</li><li>If you're wearing warrior inspired clothing during the colder Autumn (Fall) / Winter months consider pairing your pieces with ripped tights for an edgy look.</li><li>If you're wearing a tribal piece that is just a top and not a full dress or outfit, consider pairing it with short shorts or boy shorts. Particularly good here would be to wear them with khaki coloured shorts in the vein of 'Westerner gone native'.</li></ul> <h3><a name="styles"></a>Styles & who has designed them</h3> <p><strong>Sass & Bide</strong> duo Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton mixed tribal and Amazonian influences into their heavily detailed Spring 2010 collection. Some uses of metal plating - like the label's armoured leggings - were distinctly futuristic in feel. Others seemed to conjure up the spirits of wild Amazonian warriors, with breastplate-like detailing and strong feminine undertones.</p> <p class="small grey centre"><img src="http://www.fashionising.com/media/fashiontrends/ToddLynnWarrior.jpg" alt="Warrior fashion trend Todd Lynn" />Todd Lynn Spring/Summer 2010</p> <p>If Amazon warriors were forging battles in the imaginations of Sass & Bide, then Tin Hinan was storming the imagination of <strong>Todd Lynn</strong>. Mixed with Lynn's trademark darkness, giant horned shoulders ensued for a captivating and uncompromising take on the modern warrior trend. Lynn cited the legendary Tuareg queen as his inspiration.</p> <p>Dontatella <strong>Versace</strong>'s vision of the warrior woman was much more romantic. Metallic detail on the busts of dresses was subtly breast-plate inspired, but from there cascaded into flowing pastel fabrics; part knight, part maiden. </p> <p><strong>Balmain</strong>'s take had its basis in the Ancient Roman soldier; with tunic dresses, drapes of fabric, and shoulder epaulettes.</p> <p><strong>Balenciaga</strong>'s urban warrior takes her battle to the streets with gladiator tunics, plating, and makeup that hints at urban war-paint.</p> <p><br /></p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-39337198230884609802010-04-20T14:17:00.000-07:002010-04-20T14:20:38.954-07:00printed pants: women's fashion trend<p>From tailored trousers to skinny cigarette pants, to ripped jeans and leather leggings; over the past years pants have predominantly been worn in block colours. What's more, they'd become something of a basic: frequently worn as a subtle item, while attention was focussed on increasingly-detailed tops, jackets, dresses, and skirts.</p> <p>In 2010, pants are getting their own back. </p>As one of the Spring 2010 fashion trends printed and patterned pants are bringing us a whole range of new wardrobe options. <p><img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/pantsmain.jpg" alt="Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2010 patterned pants" /></p><p><br /></p><h3>Patterned pants: styles and prints</h3> <p>Stripes, florals, graphic prints and abstract shapes. Bright and bold, or subtle and sophisticated. Almost anything goes when it comes to <strong>trouser prints</strong> in 2010. </p> <p>And cuts? Again, the choice is yours. Skinny like Balenciaga or free flowing like Roberto Cavalli are both strong styles. Some takes, like those from DKNY and Etro, are so relaxed they fall more under the category of loungewear (further blurring the line between underwear and outerwear). But the style we expect to see more of on the streets - at least more immediately - is a toned-down take on the harem pant, relaxed at the hips and tapered in to the ankles. </p> <p>Avoid: boot-cuts and flares; fabrics that are too heavy. Lighter fabrics work best for Spring.</p> <p>For pictures of the different styles and prints seen on the runways, see the inspiration gallery below.</p> <h3><a name="howto"></a>How to wear printed pants</h3> <ul><li>Don't be afraid to mix patterns. Clashing prints can give a sense of careless charm. Just don't overdo it or you'll risk looking clown-like.</li><li>Bold prints will draw attention to your lower-half, so if it's not the best part of your figure avoid skinny cuts and try for relaxed fits instead</li><li>If going for a loose fit pant, pair with either a fitted top; or a baggier top that's part tucked in, part untucked for a nonchalant look. </li><li>The right pair of relaxed pants is perfect for a 1940s loungewear look. Add soft waves, red lips, and chunky cocktail rings.</li><li>For a young, urban look try 80's inspired graphic prints like those at Topshop Unique. As an investment however, bear in mind that this style will be more short-lived.</li><li>If sophistication is more your goal, look for tailored, high-waisted styles like those seen at Matthew Williamson and Luella. Wear them with a sharp pair of heels.</li></ul><br /><p align="center"><img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/alexandre1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/alexandre2.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/ashsish1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/blumarine1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/basso1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/bernhard1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/dries.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/dreis2.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/dries3.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/dries4.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/overland1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/etro.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/etro2.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/etro3.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/etro4.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/issey1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/issey2.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/issey3.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/isabel1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/isabel2.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/091153givenchy1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/jasonwu.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/goot1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/goot2.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/goot3.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/goot4.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> <img src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/catwalks/s/cavalli1.jpg" alt="Catwalk Trend: Statement Trousers" /> </p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-33956227598924260842010-04-20T13:59:00.000-07:002010-04-20T14:07:53.168-07:00New Men’s Hairstyles For 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S84XioeaOGI/AAAAAAAAACE/XrU7XaXbJzo/s1600/c1e98_Jude-Law-curlyhairstyle.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S84XioeaOGI/AAAAAAAAACE/XrU7XaXbJzo/s400/c1e98_Jude-Law-curlyhairstyle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462329281794947170" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S84XcxhtkDI/AAAAAAAAAB8/Edkr6DulP7w/s1600/Cool+Hot+Mens+hairstyles+pics+2010.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S84XcxhtkDI/AAAAAAAAAB8/Edkr6DulP7w/s400/Cool+Hot+Mens+hairstyles+pics+2010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462329181145501746" border="0" /></a><br /><p>The new trends for men’s hairstyles which were presented by some of the biggest hair stylists in the world today were not something meant to surprise us. The basic idea is that short hairstyles 2010 are now in. Shaggy hairstyles 2010 have also been kept for the upcoming year, but the vast majority of fashion designers and hair stylists tend to lean over towards short hairstyles for 2010. The number of men’s hairstyles 2010 can only grow so much, so fashion designers and more importantly hair stylists try to cycle the best men’s hairstyles 2010 once every couple of years. If we take a look at short hair styles we easily understand why it is now back in fashion.</p> <p>To put it clear, short hairstyles 2010 is the best look, and some even say the most manly, because cutting the hair as short as possible allows men to flaunt their manly features. The vast majority of men prefer this great advantage of being able to show their faces. Women also love the idea of men going back to short hairstyles in 2010 because they are the biggest supporters of the idea that short hairstyles 2010 give men a manlier look. There is a common misconception about short men’s hairstyles 2010. Many men, and women alike, do not like short hairstyles for the most unfounded reason ever.</p> <p>They assimilate short hairstyles with the ‘brush look’ that only leaves men with a few mm of hair only. While everyone knows this look is not for every man out there, this hair styles is in no way representative for short hair styles. Whether men prefer the classic ‘brush to the side’, the ‘brush to the back’, the spiky look, the fake Mohawk look, and so on, short hairstyles will always be fashionable and ‘in fashion’ regardless of the time of year, and also for most occasions and situations. Short hair is very easy to work with and it offers the skilled people giving it shape a very large number of possibilities for styling it.</p> <p>Moreover, we understand the importance of this rule when we see that there will also be a few short hairstyles 2010 for women too. There are men that go to get their hair cut only to then later do their own styling. This is why we see new men’s hairstyles 2010 starting from a common basis of short hair styling. Everyone has an idea and I think you will be pretty surprised to see that there will be a large number of new hairstyles in the next year.</p> Adding to the already large variety of possibilities available in hairstyling books and magazines, we are now presented with a few qualified websites which present us with new and exciting hairstyles on a regular basis. Internet users simply need to find one such website and go through the hairstyles on display until they find one that is to their liking.

But the origin of the word in francais. A sturdy fabric called serge, originally made in Nîmes, France, by the Andre family. Originally called <em>serge de Nîmes</em>, the name was soon shortened to denim.<span id="more-345"></span></p> <p><strong>Denim</strong> was traditionally colored blue with indigo dye to make blue “<strong>jeans</strong>,” though “jean” then denoted a different, lighter cotton textile; the contemporary use of jean comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy (Gênes), where the first denim trousers were made.</p> <p>So let us see how <strong>men jeans</strong> are going to change from german-jewish merchant Levi Strauss’s <strong>classical jeans</strong>.</p> <p>The main <strong>men jeans tendencies </strong>are influenced by the style “woodcutter“ <strong>-</strong> <strong>men jeans</strong> are tight to the bottom, well fitted. In 2010 chafes and holes will rest on <strong>men jeans </strong>in many <strong>designers collections, </strong>plus undercut fimbria and mud imitation. Decorated zipper becomes bigger, sometimes steps of the fly to the undercut, <em>Dior Homme</em>. Sub-recesses on the contrary lose the ground and appear only in two <strong>men jeans models collection – </strong><em>Dsquared2, Balmain</em>.</p> <p><strong>Men jeans </strong>color intension varies from light blue to deep blue and black in <strong>2010 trends</strong>.</p> <div class="ngg-galleryoverview" id="ngg-gallery-2-345"> <!-- Slideshow link --> <div class="slideshowlink"> <span class="slideshowlink"> </span> </div> <!-- Piclense link --> <!-- Thumbnails --> <div id="ngg-image-31" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-1 Dolce&Gabbana" alt="men-jeans-1 Dolce&Gabbana" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-1.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-32" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-2 Balmain" alt="men-jeans-2 Balmain" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-2.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-33" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-4 Givenchy" alt="men-jeans-4 Givenchy" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-4.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-34" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="jeans-2 D&G" alt="jeans-2 D&G" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_jeans-2.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-35" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="jeans-3 Dsquared2" alt="jeans-3 Dsquared2" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_jeans-3.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-36" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-5 Dior Homme" alt="men-jeans-5 Dior Homme" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-5.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-37" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-6 Dsquared2" alt="men-jeans-6 Dsquared2" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-6.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-38" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-7 Dsquared2" alt="men-jeans-7 Dsquared2" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-7.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-39" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-8 Givenchy" alt="men-jeans-8 Givenchy" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-8.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-40" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-9 Balmain" alt="men-jeans-9 Balmain" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-9.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-41" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-10 Dior Homme" alt="men-jeans-10 Dior Homme" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-10.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <div id="ngg-image-42" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"> <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"> <span class="thickbox"> <img title="men-jeans-11 Dior Homme" alt="men-jeans-11 Dior Homme" src="http://www.fashionweartoday.com/wp-content/gallery/men-jeans-trends-2010/thumbs/thumbs_men-jeans-11.jpg" width="180" height="200" /> </span> </div> </div> <!-- Pagination --> <div class="ngg-navigation"><span><br /></span></div></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-7922410251479667522010-04-19T10:19:00.000-07:002010-04-19T10:31:16.292-07:00New Season Clothing Collection<div class="centered"><img src="http://www.fashionbeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/prettygreen.jpg" alt="Pretty Green - New Season Clothing Collection" class="white" /></div> <h5>HOT NEW LABEL : PRETTY GREEN</h5> <p>Celebrities and their fashion labels = my biggest pet hate of the moment! Putting your name on t-shirt surely doesn’t make you a designer? Nor does it mean that the <strong>product is any good or instantly classed as ‘high-end’?</strong> What the hell is going on?! Well, imagine my horror when back in spring 2009 I heard that Liam Gallagher of Oasis was releasing a collection from <strong>his new fashion label Pretty Green.</strong> Shock and disappointment is all I felt on the matter. Had the straight talking front man from arguably the best British band EVER sold himself out? Fast forward to just the 3rd collection from Pretty Green and to this wonderful quote from the man himself <em>“Clothes and music are my passion. I’m not here to rip anyone off and I’m not doing it for the money either. I’m doing it cuz there’s a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear”</em> (Liam Gallagher 2009) and I can confirm that Liam Gallagher has FAR from sold himself out. Id even go as far to say that lovable Mancunian scamp has <strong>actually managed to pull it off in some style</strong>… phew!</p> <p>Now, if I’m honest I always saw anything either of the Gallagher brothers putting their hand to going down very well in the UK, but I had no idea how well Pretty Green would go down <strong>on a global scale.</strong> Having first only been available to buy online, limited edition designs were selling out within hours. Personally I have always admired Gallagher’s style. Even now at the ripe old age of 37, he remains trendy throughout the seasons but is also fully aware of what looks good and what looks not so good on the middle aged man and he has <strong>incorporated this into Pretty Green perfectly.</strong> Naturally (and very wisely) sticking to what he does best, classic British clothing mixed with subtle prints and mod-like accessories, I see Pretty Green appealing to ALL age ranges and becoming a real name within its market.<br /><span id="more-82826"></span></p> <h5>The Labels</h5> <p>Pretty Green has been divided into 2 labels, the black and the green. This is how Pretty Green themselves describe each collection…</p> <p><strong>The Green Label</strong></p> <blockquote><p>“Pretty Green’s Green Label collection for Spring/Summer ‘10 is a casual collection that reflects Liam’s progressive design influence while it’s classic and relaxed styling makes it appealing to men of all ages. In line with Pretty Green’s commitment to British heritage, high quality design and classic materials, combined with the collection’s high demand styles in new vibrant colour ways across lightweight jackets, shirts and tees, the Green Label collection represents a cool, classic and British signature look. The Green collection also sees the much awaited release of the Pretty Green Desert Boot in collaboration with Clarks Originals.”</p></blockquote> <p><strong>The Black Label</strong></p> <blockquote><p>“Pretty Green’s Black Label collection for Spring/Summer ‘10 takes its influences from the rock, mod and love styles of the halcyon summers of the 1960’s. Each piece of the Pretty Green Black Label collection is based on classic British styling embodying Liam’s individualistic style, vision and exceptional attention to detail as well as his love of superior quality fabrics and cool contemporary design. The inclusion of iconic pieces, from the sharply tailored boating blazer to the timeless parka and paisley print tees, ensure the perfect combination of styles for the most discerning menswear buyer and any summer occasion<br /></p><h5>Latest Campaign Images</h5> <p align="center"><img src="http://www.fashionbeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/prettygreen1.jpg" alt="Pretty Green Campaign Shots" class="white" /></p> <h5>The New Season Collection</h5> <p>One of Pretty Green’s most attractive features at the moment is <strong>how exclusive it is.</strong> There are limited stockists online and we are going to show you exactly how to get your hands on this fantastic new range below.</p> <p align="center"><img src="http://www.coggles.com/pimages/104092/67763_250_x_333.jpg" alt="PKA-003 Black Parka" width="220" /><img src="http://www.coggles.com/pimages/104096/67792_250_x_333.jpg" alt="PKA-003 Ivory Parka" width="220" /><img src="http://www.coggles.com/pimages/98632/60632_250_x_333.jpg" alt="PKA002 Black Coat " width="220" /></p> <p align="center"><img src="http://www.coggles.com/pimages/104076/67755_250_x_333.jpg" alt="JER-003 Black T Shirt" width="220" /><img src="http://www.coggles.com/pimages/104084/67747_250_x_333.jpg" alt="JER-006 Ivory T-shirt" width="220" /><img src="http://www.coggles.com/pimages/104088/67751_250_x_333.jpg" alt="JER-006 Navy T-shirt" width="220" /></p> <p align="center"><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/7/0/703540/p4_703540.jpg" alt="Pink Mercerised Cotton Jersey Polo" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/6/5/658423/p4_658423.jpg" alt="Washed Cammo Print Long Parka" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/6/6/669402/p4_669402.jpg" alt="Charcoal Tone Logo Tee" width="220" /></p> <p align="center"><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/6/9/694857/p4_694857.jpg" alt="Navy Striped Wool Boating Blazer" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/6/8/686641/p4_686641.jpg" alt="Charcoal Linen Grandad Shirt" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/4/6/467193/p4_467193.jpg" alt="Sky Short Sleeve Cotton Henley" width="220" /></p> <p align="center"><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/5/7/574913/p4_574913.jpg" alt="Navy Cotton Nylon Windcheater" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/3/9/396190/p4_396190.jpg" alt="Blue Gingham Linen Shirt" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/3/0/306300/p1_306300.jpg" alt="Silk Twill Tonal Paisley Scarf" width="220" /></p> <p align="center"><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/6/7/676765/p4_676765.jpg" alt="Pink Tonal Paisley Logo Tee" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/9/5/958188/p4_958188.jpg" alt="Navy Cotton Linen Stripe Dad Blazer" width="220" /><img src="http://cdn.my-wardrobe.com/images/products/5/9/595866/p4_595866.jpg" alt="Ivory Mercerised Cotton Jersey Polo" width="220" /></p></blockquote>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-50539956800451779812010-04-18T01:46:00.000-07:002010-04-18T02:01:46.024-07:00Mens Fashion Tips - A Guide To Wearing Stripes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S8rKKYUjrRI/AAAAAAAAAB0/G4NjPWTPmkE/s1600/de+karma+korean+fashion+style+men+stripes+tee+t-shirt+apparel.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S8rKKYUjrRI/AAAAAAAAAB0/G4NjPWTPmkE/s400/de+karma+korean+fashion+style+men+stripes+tee+t-shirt+apparel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461399777816325394" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S8rJgewAv0I/AAAAAAAAABk/N3ynNyFNGXk/s1600/image-men-stripes-web.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 221px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S8rJgewAv0I/AAAAAAAAABk/N3ynNyFNGXk/s400/image-men-stripes-web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461399057987583810" border="0" /></a>One of the most classic and versatile patterns in men's fashion, stripes are literally on everything. From shirts to neckties to shoes, stripes are relatively easy to find on anything nowadays. But they're for more than just avoiding the plain, solid colored route. Done correctly, stripes can play tricks on the mind and make you look like a whole new man.<br /><br /> <br />Hiding Horizontal Challenges<br />If you have too much of the wrong horizontal action going on with your bod, stripes offer you a chance to change some of that, even for just an evening. The right kind of stripes in the right places might not make you thin, but will be sure to make people overlook the fact that you're not as thin as you'd like.<br /><br />Stripes create illusions by drawing the eye of the observer in and making it travel up and down. Because the lines guide the eye along that vertical axis, they visually 'stretch' you our in their direction. This makes you look taller and thinner in proportion.<br /><br />Vertical stripes can do much to help keep your extra inches from becoming an eyesore. Start with a shirt that has a simple solid color topped with contrasting pinstripes; a white shirt with black stripes (or vice versa) usually works well. This is a very flexible combo, as you can wear it with a multitude of ties to the office, or leave it as is to just go out.<br /><br />For occasions that don't call for a tie, you could take things a couple of steps further and wear shirts with thicker stripes. You could also try stripes of slightly different colors like yellow with orange or blue with light green. Switching up the widths of the stripes will give your outfit a younger, edgier look.<br /><br />Going Horizontal with Your Stripes<br />It's often the wider guys that get a lot of the attention, but smaller guys have about as big a problem. In terms of proportion, you're no better off when you're too thin because your body still looks a bit off. To solve this, you just take what the wider guys are doing and give it a 90-degree turn.<br /><br />Horizontal stripes are great for correcting the visual proportions of too-thin guys. They follow the same logic: by guiding the eye along a particular axis, it gives the illusion that your body is particularly elongated in that direction. Used in the right way, skinnier guys can look just a little bit bulkier and better proportioned.<br /><br />Casual looks can be easily infused with a little horizontal illusion. There are countless polos and tees on the market that feature all sorts of stripe widths, colors and densities. Your best bet is to get one that's striped primarily across the shoulders and chest. That kind of pattern helps create the ideal upside-down triangle silhouette for guys. <br /><br />Using horizontal stripes in formal men's attire, though, can be somewhat iffy. From neckties to dress shirts, you'll be hard-pressed to find flattering clothes with sideways stripes. You'll be far better off just getting a close-fitting suit jacket and pair of pants, and then wearing them with a skinny necktie to help keep everything in the right proportions.<br /><br />Stripes are great to wear not just because they help correct certain aspects of your image, but because they set you apart from a primarily plain crowd. Just remember not to mix too many different stripes together, else you'll look like a geometry project gone wrong. Keep it, at a maximum, to a striped shirt and a differently striped tie, with everything else in a sober solid color. <div id="TixyyLink" style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div id="TixyyLink" style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div id="TixyyLink" style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S8rJBTkqAJI/AAAAAAAAABU/0ulS06njt1o/s1600/image-men-stripes-web.jpg"><br /></a><br /></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-29850883396949283122010-04-16T02:19:00.001-07:002010-04-16T02:36:43.241-07:00Finding Your own Fashion Style<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S8gve4Uv6hI/AAAAAAAAAA8/0SyCNpc6F1Q/s1600/yyyyyyyy.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S8gve4Uv6hI/AAAAAAAAAA8/0SyCNpc6F1Q/s320/yyyyyyyy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460666755748719122" border="0" /></a>Girls and teens want to look sharp and fashion forward. Fashion trends change every season, but there are certain basic items of girls clothes that everyone wants in their wardrobe. Key pieces can be combined to create many different looks. While denim jeans are a staple in most wardrobes, the style of jeans changes regularly. While low rise jeans with straight legs may have been popular in 2005, within a year or so a high waisted jean with wide legs may be the fashion. While each teen may choose her own style and not care about what is popular, the current trendy styles are what will be found in the stores. To know what is in fashion, either start shopping at your favorite local mall or read fashion magazines.<br /><br />Jeans are a great basic because they can be worn so many ways. For casual wear, add a t-shirt, sweater or plain shirt with sneakers or flat shoes. The same jeans can also be dressed up nicely with a fancy blouse or a camisole with a jacket and heels.<br /><br />Other key wardrobe pieces are tank tops, turtlenecks, khakis, shorts, slacks, skirts, sundresses and blazers. The styles and colors of these items will also change from season to season. Skirt lengths go up and down, with both a short skirt and a longer style usually in fashion at the same time.<br /><br />The quality of girls clothes makes less difference because styles change so quickly. Girls will tire of their clothes long before they wear out, so pick what you like that fits your budget and don't worry about durability. Even so, check the label for laundry instructions. Washable clothes are easier and cheaper to maintain than dry clean only.<br /><br /><b>Experiment to find your own style</b><br /><br />One of the nicest things about teen apparel (and of being a teenager in general) is the freedom to experiment. Even the simplest outfit of jeans and a t-shirt can be an expression of the wearer's personality. Jeans now come in an array of colors. Some have decorative rivets, while others display fancy embroidered designs. Even the way the pockets are arranged can be a decorative element.<br /><br />A t-shirt can be a plain solid color with a round neck or a v-neck. It can be striped or patterned. It can display a message, either for or against a cause, showing off its manufacturer or just saying something amusing. Thus the t-shirt can be a fashion statement, a personal statement or a political statement - you choose.<br /><br />But the biggest part of the teen apparel experiment comes through accessories. These can be found in department stores and clothing shops as well as in specialty stores that carry nothing else. When selecting shoes, fit and comfort may be sacrificed to style. This may not be a good tradeoff depending on what activities you plan to pursue while wearing them. Be sure to try on both shoes as most people have one foot that is slightly larger than the other.<br /><br />Shoes can be made of leather, imitation leather, cloth and other materials. Leather shoes are usually the most expensive, but they last the longest. Before making a big investment in shoes, think about how long you believe they will suit your taste, style and wardrobe and how long you might want to keep wearing them.<br /><br />The handbag or purse is another great accessory. Modern style gurus no longer require matching your purse to your shoes, so go wild. Get a giant bag or a mini-backpack for everyday wear so you can carry all of your stuff. Pick a tiny, shiny bag for that night on the town. As long as it's big enough for your keys, lipstick, money and cellphone, it will work. If you plan an active day, forget the bag and go for a belt pouch. No longer just for athletes, these come in an array of styles and colors like other purses. And when you're ready to get fancy, remember that you can add jewelry, gloves, hats, scarves and more to personalize your look completely. <!-- From http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/1-18-2006-86686.asp --> <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-89783791939902292942010-03-27T10:12:00.000-07:002010-03-27T12:08:11.634-07:00Hairstyles for Round Faces<span class="status">N5TNNSQ32GYZ<br /><br /></span>Is your face round?

Don�t worry, because you are not alone. Many women also share this dilemma of finding the best hairstyle that would suit their round visage. <p>A round face is generally as wide as it is long in the dimensional sense. The hairline in a round face is often wide, and the cheeks are usually full. This facial shape also sometimes makes the neck seem shorter. </p><p>There is no hard and fast rule to creating the perfect hairstyle suitable for round faces.

They are also meant to direct the eyes away from the fullness of the cheeks. A woman with a round face may want to consider these two things whenever she is trying to fix her hair in a more flattering manner. </p><p>There are a few things that you may want to try out whenever you are styling your hair or getting your hair done in a salon. You could opt for short hairstyles that add length to your face, or those with the sides cut short or close to the face. Layered bangs also give the illusion of length to the face and should be chosen rather than the straight or heavy bangs; heavy or straight bangs seem to squash the face rather than lengthen it. Curls are also good, although they should be kept away from the cheeks. A bob cut above the chin will look nice for women with double chins rounding off their already round faces, while cropped hair may seem best to make a short neck appear longer. </p><p><img src="http://www.beautyden.com/pics/roundface.jpg" alt="Round face" align="left" height="285" hspace="15" width="185" /> A woman with a round face can also wear her hair long if she wants to. Long hair done in layers or in a shag looks good on a round face because it makes the face more slender. Long hair piled up on the head also makes the face look thinner. The same slenderizing effect can be achieved with the use of cleverly placed highlights, especially highlights near the face. Long curls with dangling tendrils also suit the round face quite nicely, as long as the tendrils do not fall near the cheeks or close to the face. </p><p>There are a lot of styles that a woman with a rounded face can choose for herself. It is a matter of being versatile. But the one true key to finding the perfect hairstyle for a woman with the round face not lies in following the rules or the guidelines, but in following whatever she feels comfortable with. She may follow all the rules and all the trends, but if she is not comfortable wearing it, or if the hairstyle doesn�t suit her lifestyle, then the effort is lost. </p><p>What she could do to get the best hairstyle for herself is to browse through some magazines, pick out the ones she likes best, and to consult her hairstylist about it. In the end, the perfect hairstyle, whether your face is round or square or oval or whatever shape, is someone that a woman can wear confidently and have fun with. </p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-55119751244721593772010-03-26T05:32:00.000-07:002010-03-26T05:34:39.541-07:002010 Hair trends: Hair buns, chignons, and hair twists<p>Amongst hairstyles every year there is always at least one 'up-do'. And for 2010 it's no different. Gone are the tacky interpretations, instead this year's up-dos (four no less) will all embody elegance without erring on the side of caution.</p> <p><strong><a name="chignon"></a>The chignon</strong></p><p>Originating from the French "chignon du cou" (which means "nape of the neck"), a chignon is an elegant low bun or twist that sits at the nape of the neck.</p> <p class="small grey centre"><img src="http://www.fashionising.com/media/fashiontrends/hair2010/messychignonhairstyle.jpg" alt="Messy chignon" /><br />Textured chignon hairstyle at Karl Lagerfeld Spring 2010</p> <ul><li>In 2010 the traditional neat chignon is an easy and chic style for day or night</li><li>Avoid the over-styled, over-hairsprayed wedding look.

Perfect for the younger set, there are three slicked hairstyles to try out in 2010.</p> <p><a name="slickback"></a><strong>The Slicked Back</strong></p> <p>Slicked back with gel, with fingers or a wide toothed comb providing the texture, 2010's slicked back hairstyle mixes hair slicked back across the top of the head with textured length. Though we've seen a dry, heavily brushed texturing for the length, avoid it and stick to a wet look as seen on Alexander Wang and Thakoon's Spring 2010 catwalks.</p> <p class="small grey" align="center"><img src="http://www.fashionising.com/media/fashiontrends/hair2010/wetlookhair.jpg" alt="slicked back hair" /><br />Slicked-back hair at Alexander Wang Spring 2010</p> <p><a name="sideslick"></a><strong>The Slicked Side</strong></p> <p>The perfect alternative to 2009's half-shaved head hairstyle, the side slick is the strongest of the three slicked hairstyle trends for 2010.

And what better way to do it then through a new hair cut, hair style, or hair colour?</p> Read on to discover all of 2010's hair trends, hair style trends, and hair colour trends.<br /><strong><br /></strong><h4>Plaited & Braided hair</h4><br /><p>The popularity of milkmaid braids in 2009 evolves into the <strong>braided hairstyle</strong> trend in 2010. While it's natural for hair trends to evolve between the years, the resurgence of plaited / braided hair is mostly as a result of the hairstyle heavily featuring on the Spring 2010 catwalks. Particularly prominent on Alexander Wang's Spring 2010 runway, we also spotted them at Miuccia Prada's Miu Miu Spring 2010 and, increasingly, amongst street style pictures.</p> <p>There are two distinct braided hairstyle looks for 2010: the <strong>long side braid</strong>, and the <strong>fish plait</strong> as seen on the Missoni Spring 2010 catwalk.</p> <p class="small" align="center"><img src="http://www.fashionising.com/media/fashiontrends/hair2010/braidedhair2010.jpg" alt="braided hairstyle" /><br />Side-braided hairstyle backstage at Alexander Wang Spring 2010 via <em>I Know What You Wore</em></p> <ul><li>Great with any hair colour</li><li>The side braid can be paired with the slicked side hair style for an edgy interpretation</li><li>The fish plait is 2010's take on the simple pony tail</li><li>Both the side braid and the fish plait work great with a fringe; see the pictures of Abbey Lee Kershaw at Alexander Wang in the inspiration gallery for the best example</li><li>Similarly: don't thread your fringe, whether it's cut as a blunt fringe or not, into the braid; instead it is best to style the fringe loosely; see the pictures of Anna Selezneva in the inspiration gallery for the best example</li><li>The fish plait can be worn with a centre part</li><li>The side braid can only be worn with a side part and the part must be on the opposite side of the head to the braid. If you're stuck for a mental picture when styling this in front of the mirror one evening, simply think of it as the <strong>Rapunzel</strong> braid</li><li>Both styles are great for the Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 and Spring / Summer 2010 seasons</li></ul><br /><h4>Long waved hair inspired by the 1940s</h4><br /><p>Having appeared on our radar in 2009, <strong>1940s hair styles</strong> will continue as an inspiration for women's hairstyles in 2010. As it was last year this hair trend is again inspired by the late 40s and, to a lesser degree, the early 1950s. </p> <ul><li><strong>Waves</strong> should be <strong>firm</strong> but not curly</li><li>Suitable for all hair colours, though less effective on black hair</li><li>Wear it with an off-centre or side part, not a centre part</li><li>Length wise, it must fall below the shoulders</li><li>Pair with classic make-up and styling</li><li>Inspired by <strong>film noir</strong>, confidence and sexual innuendo go hand in hand with 1940s wavey hair</li><li>Suitable both for the Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 and Spring / Summer 2010 seasons</li></ul> <p class="small" align="center"><img src="http://www.fashionising.com/media/fashiontrends/hair2010/2010waveyhair.jpg" alt="1940s hair style" /><br />1940s wave hairstyle on the catwalk of Christian Dior Spring 2010</p> <p>For more inspiration pictures of long waved hair, click on the thumbnails in our 2010 hair trends pictures gallery below and browse through.</p> For <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Long, 1970's inspired hair </span>click <a href="http://fashionunits.blogspot.com/2010/03/2010-hair-trendslong-hair-inspired-by.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HERE</span></a>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315217447130248226.post-2797852324421352592010-03-25T12:06:00.000-07:002010-03-25T12:14:06.218-07:00Long Prom Hair Style Trends For 2010-2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S6u13tMviZI/AAAAAAAAAAs/QYaGlsLIQn0/s1600/SherriHill3_250h.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 250px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__0m3F8ZLyrM/S6u13tMviZI/AAAAAAAAAAs/QYaGlsLIQn0/s320/SherriHill3_250h.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452651742492592530" border="0" /></a><span class="iAs" style="font-weight: normal ! important; text-decoration: none ! important; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102) ! important; padding-bottom: 0px ! important; color: rgb(102, 102, 102) ! important; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt;font-size:100% ! important;color:#0000e0;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">Prom </span><nobr style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" id="itxt_nobr_0_0"><span style="font-size:100%;">hairstyles</span><img style="display: inline ! important; height: 10px; width: 10px; position: relative; top: 1px; left: 1px; padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt; float: none; border: 0pt none;" name="itxt-icon-0" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif" /></nobr></span> follow high fashion just as the Prom Gowns do. <p>With the current hair fashions trending towards natural textures such as lush waves, loose ringlet curls and even soft straight shiny strands, Prom <span class="iAs" style="font-weight: normal ! important; text-decoration: none ! important; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102) ! important; padding-bottom: 0px ! important; color: rgb(102, 102, 102) ! important; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt;font-size:100% ! important;color:#0000e0;" ><nobr style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" id="itxt_nobr_1_0"><span style="font-size:100%;">hairstyles</span><img style="display: inline ! important; height: 10px; width: 10px; position: relative; top: 1px; left: 1px; padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt; float: none; border: 0pt none;" name="itxt-icon-0" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif" /></nobr></span> will follow.</p> <p>The days of the required Prom updo hairstyle are gone, at least for now.

It should also be easy to create a home or with the help of a friend. </p> <p>Simply shampoo with your regular products and systems, blow dry to build in volume and shine and then use a large barrel curling iron to create some soft waves throughout the edges. Finish with an application of shine serum and/or hairspray and you're finished with a soft, sexy, flowing hairstyle for your prom.</p> <h2><b>Long Hair Prom Gown Considerations</b></h2> <p>When it comes to wearing your long hair coiffed for prom consider the following factors:</p><p>1. The style of your prom gown.<br /> 2. Maintainability of your hairstyle for a long Prom night.<br /> 3. Whether your hairstyle will be created at home, by a friend or a professional hairdresser.<br /> 4. Hair Accessory considerations. Do you wish to wear a special hair accessory such as a tiara comb or flowers in your hair? While you can wear most hair accessories with up or down hairstyle, keep in mind that some accessories work better in certain hairstyles.<br /> 5. Historical hair challenges. If your hair tends to hold texture easily, you may be fine with a long luscious Prom hairdo. On the flip side, if your hair doesn't hold a curl, you may be more comfortable with a half up/half down or a chignon or twist.<br /> 6. Special Prom themes. If your Prom has a unique theme you may wish to coif your hair to match and this may impact your ultimate long <span class="iAs" style="font-weight: normal ! important; text-decoration: none ! important; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102) ! important; padding-bottom: 0px ! important; color: rgb(102, 102, 102) ! important; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt;font-size:100% ! important;color:#0000e0;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">hair </span><nobr style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" id="itxt_nobr_14_0"><span style="font-size:100%;">style</span><img style="display: inline ! important; height: 10px; width: 10px; position: relative; top: 1px; left: 1px; padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt; float: none; border: 0pt none;" name="itxt-icon-0" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif" /></nobr></span> selection.</p> <p>Contrary to some, long wavy and naturally curly hair can easily be coiffed into an array of gorgeous updos. Don't be discouraged if you read otherwise. Unfortunately there is a lot of hair misinformation on the Internet. </p> <p>When in doubt, continue to do your own research and find the hairstyles you love that will work great with your long hair.</p>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12350507925112673892noreply@blogger.com0
