Jeans |
|
Jeans has always been
the favourite in the fashion world. Jeans is available in different
styles, cut and has become an all purpose wear. However to flaunt your
figure you need to wear the pair that fits you best. You need to pick
the pair of jeans that fit you perfectly and make you look amazing. Well
it is not that difficult………all you have to do is try on several pair to
find just the right style and fit. Also follow these guidelines |

Tall/slim figure:
Perfect jeans: Look for styles that are plain and simple with straight
legs. If you want to draw attention to your long legs then go for a
style with a flared leg or design along the outside length of the jean.
Avoid: Jeans with a
tapered leg. This will only accentuate the size of your feet (and taller
girls often have big feet) and make your legs look strange.
Long Torso:
Prefect jeans: In your body type it is very difficult to choose the
perfect jeans. Ideally you should go for a pair of jeans with a defined
waist that will make your bottom half look longer and leaner. Also wear
a belt since it will define your body shape perfectly.
Avoid: Jeans with a
long, bulky or tight crotch.
Pear-Shaped:
Perfect jeans: Go for styles with a flared leg, boot cut or pattern
around the ankle area.
Avoid: Jeans that are
tight around the thigh area and tapered or baggy styles
Wide Hips:
Perfect jeans: Choose a jean with a low-rise waist and a slight flare at
the leg to help to balance your silhouette. Go for jeans with a bit of
stretch and make sure they have large back pockets.
Avoid: Styles with
really big or really small back pockets and detailing across the back.
Petite:
Perfect jeans: Go for a pair with straight legs, worn on the long side,
to help give you a taller silhouette. To make your legs look longer wear
heels with a boot leg style, and make sure you go for dark-coloured
jeans.
Avoid: If you're after a
pair of jeans that will make your legs look longer, avoid styles with
cuffs and Capri pants.
Short-waisted:
Perfect jeans: Go in for hipsters or super-hipsters. Low-slung, hipster
styles will give you the illusion of having a longer torso.
Avoid: Jeans with a zip
more than 3 inches long and jeans with fringe or embellishment along the
waistband.
Plus-size:
Perfect jeans: Go for dark-coloured jeans with a straight leg, boot cut
or flare.
Avoid: Light-coloured
jeans and styles that feature patterning down the legs. Also avoid jeans
with pleats and elastic waists, as well as baggy styles

Simple Solution: oily face
The purpose of an emollient
and moisturizing skin cream is to protect the skin from the elements, to
hydrate, and replace oils that have been stripped away from cleansing.
Beeswax provides a protective coating against wind and sun, and the
emollient oils such as apricot kernel, almond, avocado, and Shea butter,
hydrate and nourish. Some oils, such as sesame oil, are rich, natural
sunscreens in their own right.
This easy skin cream only takes 25 minutes to make!
The Basic Moisturizing Skin Cream Formula
2 1/2 ounces blended oils (see "What are the Best Oils for Your Skin,"
below)
1 1/2 ounces coconut oil or cocoa butter
1/2 ounce beeswax
4 ounces distilled or purified water
1 teaspoon active royal jelly (optional; available in health food
stores)
30 drops grapefruit seed extract (available in health food stores)
Essential oils of choice (optional)
Weigh the coconut oil and beeswax on a scale. Combine the oils and
beeswax in a double boiler, and melt over a low heat, stirring
occasionally. This step takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the melted
oils and beeswax from the stove and add the water. Mix with an electric
mixer until creamy and thick. Stir in the grapefruit seed extract and
essential oils (if using). Store in glass jars with screw-on tops. Makes
8 ounces of cream. Note: This cream should last for 4 months or so, but
if you see mold growing, discard. When you make kitchen cosmetics,
cleanliness is really important so bacteria doesn't grow. Purified or
distilled water is used in this recipe because bacteria has been
filtered out.
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
What are the Best Oils for Your Skin?
almond oil; apricot kernel oil (great for sensitive and older skin);
avocado oil (one of the most moisturizing oils and good for older skin);
cocoa butter (protective and water repellent); grapeseed oil (a dry oil,
good so the cream isn't too greasy); jojoba (actually a liquid wax and
good to use so the cream isn't too greasy); peanut oil (good for all
skin types); sesame oil (natural sunscreen); Shea butter (natural
sunscreen); and wheat germ oil (high in vitamins and minerals). |

Nail in Fashion |
|
Nails as any man will
tell you, are the focal point of much eroticism. Check out Uma Thurman
in 'Pulp Fiction' with her red, red talons. |
|
|
|
|
Or Jessica Rabbit, the
ultimate sexual Venus trap, in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'. The shape, the
length, the color of the nails is all clues to the persona of the
wearer. Sweet preppy college girls might have unvarnished oval nails,
while club-goers might slather on black or Chanel Vamp into lone talons.
Gently elongated fire engine red ovals might look ever so tempting for a
seductress.
Practicality rules over all. The shape is softly rounded. The look lies
with medium-sized nails with a French manicure, with clear varnish down
the length and white crescents at the tips (check out the Tips and Toes
Manicure Kit).
The colors in vogue are a trifle more complicated. It's red for the
night - we are talking pure fire-engine matte red, the sort of red that
makes men go week at the knees and declares you're a bad girl.
The wishy-washy pinks and purples which held sway for a bit and the
grotesque steel gray, which became ubiquitous shade for the wannabe hep
cats, have all been relegated to the back. The neon greens and blues are
best left to the teen brigade where they are slowly crawling down the
ladder from hip to has-been.
Transparent camels and frosted sables are the shades to watch out for on
toes. These are the shades they're showing off in open toed sling-backs
in Hollywood. They're also wearing matte and opalescent whites. However,
since both pale and pearly nail polish tend to highlight any bumps or
ridges, prime nails with a clear base coat first.
Shimmer is so big that Estee Lauder, Yves Saint Laurent and L'Oreal seem
to have got an entire range to boast of. These are shades straight from
your heart, but with a twist. Sable with an oil slick effect, or
opalescent nail polish with a petrol sheen (the multicolored rainbow
look) are what are giving nails the hip hop look right now.
The surest, softest and the most chic look amongst the haves is that of
sheer coat - the transparent shines that just lets the soft sheen of
gloss show the true shade of the nail underneath, but this is a look of
the grave.
For the woman who has more chores like cooking and cleaning to be done,
such daredevil bravery is uncalled for…she should get herself a skin
tone matte, or a light peach opalescent. It doesn't show as much when it
chips.
Also, it's not enough just to have manicured nails today. The hippest
craze is to have them stenciled, painted, even pierced, so that you
don't see nails in the same light again.
Even the best shades will fall flat on hands that are not maintained
well. Make sure to give them a manicure once a fortnight at home or in a
salon |
