Where to Find Adorable Infant Boy Dress Clothes

Where to Find Adorable Infant Boy Dress Clothes

It can be quite a challenge to find a suitable and adorable dress-up ensemble for a baby boy. Certain times of year the shops will stock more formal apparel for infants, generally around the winter holidays and again in the spring. Should your event be at another time, shopping for a suitably dressy baby boy outfit becomes more difficult. Perhaps the little darling is attending a wedding, formal party or special occasion and should be dressed accordingly. There are other options than just the baby clothing department. It’s a special event, start your little gentleman young with the idea that he should be dressed for the festivities.

In recent years, many specialty boutiques have sprung up offering designer and unique things for children and babies. While commonly a more pricey option, the quality and attention to detail on the dress clothes for infant boys will ensure that the little man is dressed to impress. These baby boutiques will also carry charming accessories and can be a great place to find unique gifts for little boys. Some of these shops specialize in handmade items, while others focus on environmentally sound sources and practices. Other baby boutiques may focus more on a refined taste, elegant and classic children’s’ wear that can reflect a more traditional taste. It reflects well upon the family as a whole to attend to the details of even the youngest member’s appearance. Whether that family has a refined sense of tradition or an artistic flair, baby boutique wear can let a baby boy dress up in a style fitting to his heritage. A browse of the local specialty boutiques in your area can be a fun afternoon filled with interesting finds.

As infants tend to outgrow their clothes with great speed and regularity, children’s consignment stores have also found their way into many shopping centers. A far cry from the crowded and dusty thrift stores, these shops are set up much like the specialty boutiques, but stock previously-owned merchandise. A more budget-minded option, a kids’ consignment shop is likely to have a good selection of infant boys’ formal or dress-up wear. Rather like the mom-to-mom sales, parents trade in their child’s outgrown or unneeded clothing for store credit or sometimes cash. If funds are an issue, it may be possible to swap out some of that massive pile of outgrown and hardly worn bodysuits for a dapper ensemble for the little gent to wear to a formal event.

Giving Gifts Could Be The Best Way To Keep The Romance Alive

Giving Gifts Could Be The Best Way To Keep The Romance Alive

When you find that you are at the peak of your love with everything going on fine, you would like to keep that love alive. The best way to keep the romance alive is by giving gifts. If you are at the beginning of a relationship, it may not be appropriate for you to think of giving gifts. You may not know what your lover loves and may end up disappointing him or her by giving a gift she might not particularly like. Secondly, a premature gift may even lead to nipping of the relationship in bud, if your partner misinterprets your intentions.

But a well developed love would do well with a nice gift. But what kind of gift can be given? This will be a difficult question to find an answer to. You can classify gifts into two categories: gifts your lover will like and gifts that will be useful to your lover. A gift that your lover loves will bring you an instant appreciation but a useful gift will ensure that your lover will remember you for a long time. In either case, the gift should suit the personality of your lover.

But the most important thing about choosing a gift is to remember that you should not allow your own interests to cloud your choice. People often have the unconscious habit of choosing a gift in tune with their own interests. When they find that the receiver is not much impressed, they tend to fault the taste of the receiver. But the reality is that everyone has his or her own preferences. So, focus on the interests of your lover. If both of you have some common interests, then the task will be easy. Otherwise, you should put yourself into the shoes of your lover. This should be immensely possible and easy if you have been in love fairly long enough and have a good understanding about your lover and their tastes.

It will also be useful to check whether your lover is already in possession of the article you plan to buy. Of course, you have to get this information discretely by asking some indirect questions. Think of the things you have been talking about, the desires, ideas and cravings expressed by your lover at different times. It will not be difficult for you to find out what your lover wants or needs and make an appropriate choice.

If you can add an element of surprise to your gift, it will enhance the value of the gift.

The idea of giving your lover a gift is to express your love and affection toward them. Therefore, the gift doesn’t have to be very expensive. Something simple will often prove to be the most valuable.

The Basic Elements of Style

The Basic Elements of Style

Wearing the latest in fashion is what every one of us likes to do. But it is very important to carry the clothes in style. Having a great wardrobe is definitely essential but some basics of style should also be adhered to in order to make a striking fashion statement. There are lots of online wholesale apparel shops that cater to the fashion conscious generation. But apart from stocking up a fantastic collection, there are a few other issues that need to be paid attention to.

• A well groomed appearance is very essential in order to carry any ensemble with style. Nobody looks good with straggly, greasy hair, chewed up fingernails, gross skin, unplucked eyebrows, and leg stubble.

• Taking good care of your clothes is also very important. Well maintained clothes are the basic requirement of carrying off any stylish look with elan.

• Over usage of accessories can kill any fashionable ensemble. It is always best to make minimum use of accessories so that they can act as a compliment to the basic outfit and add some style.

• Try to choose outfits based on which colors and styles look nice on you. It is a good idea to match what you are wearing with your own personality. This helps in bringing out your true colors and helps you look and feel great.

Each year new fashion trends are born and it is time for the old ones to retire. Though it is definitely a great idea to go with what is in vogue, but at the same time you should keep an eye out for the comfort factor as well. Comfort and style goes hand in hand and choosing apparel based on how comfortable you feel wearing them is the smartest decision. Fashion trends appear unexpectedly and fade away even quicker than they appeared.

There is no limit to the permutations one can think of in terms of mixing and matching clothes and creating a style that is comfortable yet elegant. If you want to achieve a great look, be in line with new fashion styles that are influenced by different seasons. In recent we have seen the rise of new brands as well as the comeback of some old fashion trends. To wear something different and with style is to create fashion and with a bit of creativity you can come up with unique combinations that can become a personal fashion statement.

Guide to Hair Removal – Part 1

Guide to Hair Removal – Part 1

These days it seems there are so many ways to remove unwanted hair that it’s hard to know where to begin! We thought we’d discuss some pro’s and cons for modern hair removal techniques over the next couple of weeks. This week we’re looking at waxing, and sugaring, ouch!

Waxing

Waxing is a method of hair removal that can be used on almost any area of the body, from eyebrows to legs. It involves a thin layer of warmed wax being spread over the skin, after this a piece of cloth or paper is pressed firmly onto the wax, which is then is pulled quickly off against the direction of hair growth. Waxing can be quite precise when required, though we would recommend that you visit a professional before you attempt to use this method yourself.

Pros

Waxing removes hair from the root so it will leave you hair free for longer than methods such as shaving or the use of creams – up to around 6 weeks!

You won’t get ‘stubble’ with waxing in the way that you do with shaving as there are no sharp cut edges left to grow back.

Re-growth appears softer and less noticeable for this reason.

Cons

It can be tricky to use this method yourself as there is a certain amount of skill involved. Also, you must avoid waxing fragile, broken or bruised skin and never wax moles or areas with varicose veins.

If you are using steroid medication you must avoid waxing as it may thin the skin.

This method of hair removal may cause bleeding or skin irritation.

Wax can be tricky to remove from the skin if any is left after use.

The biggest argument against waxing is that it hurts!

Sugaring

Sugaring as the name suggests involves the use of a sugar, honey or molasses based paste and works and is applied in a very similar way to waxing.

Pros

See waxing pros.

Sugaring may be less painful than waxing because sugaring paste may be less likely to stick to the skin than wax, therefore removing only the hair and not affecting the skin in such a dramatic way.

It is also easier to remove sugaring paste than wax – all it takes is warm water.

Cons

See waxing cons.

Trying to Fit Into Clothes

Trying to Fit Into Clothes

People’s weight issues are never-ending. Famous people are always in magazines for being too skinny or overweight. The TV channels are filled with weight loss shows and documentaries about people with health problems who are trying to get fit. Sometimes however people are just the frame that they are meant to be.

Diet and exercise is meant to be an important part of life and to many people they do try to take this into consideration. However the number of young people being able to cook from scratch decreasing and the number of working hours increasing, this makes it very difficult to come home from work and cook up healthy meals. Healthy food always seems to be the things that take time to create meals out of. This compares to microwave meals and bars of chocolate, all the nice but naughty things, which are readily available for you to stuff your face with! Temptations pop up everywhere and you will need real will power if you are a bit obsessed with a certain bad thing for you.

Although people do become overweight from eating unhealthily and having too much of the wrong food, underweight people can too become this way through not eating enough. Some however are naturally just this way. Some ‘skinny’ people who you see walking down the street are trying really hard to put on weight and whilst many people wonder how they can moan about having to put it on, but it can be just as difficult for them to put pounds on as it is for larger people to drop them.

When you create sculptures of human beings you have to start out with a wire frame, and although some people with weight issues will use this as an excuse, it can be true that some were built to hold a certain amount of weight. Whether it is no more or no less, it can be very difficult for these people to change shape. Although this may sound odd, some people genuinely look better being a bit over or underweight; if they drastically changed they will not look like they did before and some parts of their body may change which they wished had not.

Clothes can be a struggle at both ends of the spectrum; I know this because I can still fit into young children’s clothes although I am lucky enough to fit into adult sizes too. For some who can only fit into kids clothes it can be upsetting as they want to be able to shop in the normal adult section instead of the children’s wear, or on the other scale in the plus size department. No matter what size you are or where you are trying to get to, as long as you are happy in yourself do not worry about where you have to shop, it’s how you make the clothes look on you that counts.

The History of The Bridesmaid

The History of The Bridesmaid

Who came up with the idea of having bridesmaids? Most brides know that this special day could never be pulled together without their help. So why do we have bridesmaids and what is their historical importance?

the history of the bridesmaid dates back to the ancient Anglo Saxons who always began a wedding with bridesmaids leading the groom to the chapel and groomsman leading the bride. In ancient roman the roman law stated that there must be at least ten witnesses to a wedding. In order to outsmart the evil spirits that were believed to attend the wedding the bridesmaids would dress identical to the bride. This continued even into the late 19th century in England when it was believed that ill-wishers would administer curses and hexes at the wedding, but if the bride and bridesmaids were all dressed identical they would not know who to curse.

In other parts of the world the bridesmaids served as foot soldiers. The bride was accompanied by maidens dressed alike to confuse would be robbers on her way to her grooms village. They served as her as protection. This entourage would also deter scorned suitors from stealing her dowry or kidnapping the bride herself. Over time this protection was less needed and the number of bridesmaids became a direct signifier of the wealth and social status of the bride. The more maidens you had waiting on you on your wedding the more money you were supposed to have there by elevating you social status.

In ancient China the bride’s house was guarded by her bridesmaids. When the groom came to collect his bride he had to first pass the tests of the bridesmaids. This custom originated from the bride’s family and friends not wanting the bride to leave the family home. The groom was blocked at the bride’s door, and the bridesmaids tried to stop him from entering by asking questions about the bride, a way to test if he really cares about her. This was all done in good nature and eventually the groom was allowed to enter but sometimes the bridesmaids played tricks on the Groom to delay him from entering spawning yet another custom which lead to him giving gifts to the bridesmaids to let him enter the house.

Bridesmaids may not serve as foot solders but they still play a very important role in the wedding ceremony, not by fending off hexes and scorned suitors, but by providing support and serving as an advisory board. They are special guests at the reception and act as the bride’s special assistants. From shopping for dresses to writing place cards and hosting the bridal shower, their first duty is to be helpful. Today they fend off mishaps instead of hexes and act as the first line of defense for all the things that may go wrong on this special day protecting the bride from stress instead of evil. The payoff is that walk down the aisle, looking …

Traditionally Indian Chic Kundan Jewelry

Traditionally Indian Chic Kundan Jewelry

One of the oldest forms of jewelry created and worn in India, Kundan is still popular for its discerning Mughal influence and intricate designs. The origin of Kundan jewelry can be traced back to the majestic courts of the Mughal empire, where the royal women in Rajasthan and Gujarat would wear elaborate Kundankari necklaces, armlets, waist bands, earrings, forehead teekas, finger rings, nose rings and many other tradition pieces of jewels. Although they are traditional designs of jewelry, kundan jewelry sets are fast gaining recognition and popularity among international jewelry designers and fashionistas.

Kundan work is the traditional and oldest method of gem setting, where the gold foil is inserted between the stones and its mount. The basic lacquer structure of the jewelry is embedded with gemstones, gold foil setting and finished with highly refined gold to cover the lacquer framework. Craftsmen are well trained in various processes involved in creating grand Indian jewelry designs.

Kundan work is often combined with the beautifully designed enamel paintings, known as Meenakari work, which adorns the back surface of the pieces in beautiful designs. In these jewelry pieces, meenakari work beautifies the back side while kundan stone settings add grace on the front, making it even more remarkable. Pacchi work is another technique which is incorporated in kundan jewelry. Tastefully designed rings and earrings in pacchi work accompanied with kundan make these pieces stunning.

Adorned with crystals and semi-precious stones, Indian kundan jewelry sets are passed on as heirlooms, which are passed from one generation to other. Some of the semi precious and precious stones used with kundan jewelry are agates, topaz, carnelians, tourmalines, jade, emerald, sapphire, amethysts, and rhinestones.

Mostly worn by the Rajputs, Indian kundan jewelry sets were earlier considered important for all auspicious occasions. But with changing time and trends, they are regarded as fashion ornaments. One of the most sought after Indian designs, Kundan jewelry is also sported by Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities for grand occasions. Whether it’s a celebrity wedding or a red carpet, this scintillating piece of jewelry is gradually making its way to the international fashion runways. Rhinestones and enamel work retain the ethnic feel while crystals and colorful bead embellishments add a contemporary twist. Movies like Devdas and Jodha Akhbar have redefined the kundan story. Aishwarya Rai decked in a jadau kundan jewelry set recreated the magic of historical art with modern fusion. Apart from celebrities, kundan jewelry sets are also preferred by Indian brides to enhance their traditional elegance.

The pink city of Jaipur in Rajasthan offers a wide range of Indian kundan jewelry. Careful settings of gold foil, intricately cut gemstones and multicolor crystal makes this one of the most celebrated varieties of jewelry available today. The sheer variety available in Indian jewelry designs also makes it the perfect choice for the bride-to-be to wear for her wedding. Perfectly fusing contemporary and traditional designs, kundan jewels are becoming desirable pieces. So, for your next festive occasion, go for …

Trendy Plus Size Junior Clothing

Trendy Plus Size Junior Clothing

Let’s face it. Even our kids love to look good. Because of today’s culture, children are pressured to look their best, especially when they are around their friends. The right clothes can boost a child’s confidence, thus prompting him or her to do well when around peers.

This used to be a dilemma when plus size junior clothing was practically unavailable. Parents were forced to let their kids wear clothes that weren’t suitable for their ages. Thankfully, this is no longer a problem. There are now a lot of trendy clothing options suitable for children of all sizes!

When buying trendy plus size junior clothing, it’s important that you know your kid’s personal style. Of course, there are many trends children can choose from.

For boys, sporty or rock band inspired clothes are common favorites. There are also fashion choices inspired by hip hop and R&B artists to choose from. Know what your son identifies with the most. This way, you can buy him clothes when he’s not with you.

For girls, there are more styles you should acquaint yourself with. Preppy, rock band inspired, sporty, hip hop, and R&B are some styles you should know about. Also don’t forget to consider what their favorite celebrities are wearing.  For example, my daughter is extremely fond of Hannah Montana. Consequently, I was requested to buy plus size junior clothing inspired by this show.

Another thing to keep in mind when buying clothing for your children is the affordability. Kids make the mistake of thinking that when something is more expensive, it is better. At an early age, why not instill the idea that looking good does not have to rely on how much one spends?

Looking good actually depends on how one wears something. This is very important, since some plus size clothing for kids are very pricey. Remind kids that looking good don’t mean that you have to break the bank. Tell them that confidence is key. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve bought clothes from WalMart or Macy’s as long as it is well-made and fits right.

Knowing your kid’s taste is a great way to save money. Getting them something they absolutely love means that they’ll wear these clothes forever! This sounds like an exaggeration, but I’m speaking from experience. The Hannah Montana shirt I got for my daughter has become a wardrobe staple. She pairs them with skirts, jeans, shorts— you name it! She also wears it whenever. It has become her “I feel pretty in this no matter what” shirt.

Hopefully, the availability of plus size junior clothing will help parents and kids alike express themselves. Parents can relax, knowing that they’re children are happy with what they’re wearing, and kids can have fun simply being themselves while showing their personal style.

Cellulite Reduction Tips

Cellulite Reduction Tips

Cellulite is said to affect around 90% of women at some point in their lives, and the causes are still being researched. What we do know is that it consists of fat cells that have become trapped within fibres of inflexible supporting tissue. Tissues become inflexible due to poor supplies of oxygen and blood, and once trapped fat cells give a lumpy or ‘orange-peel’ appearance to the skin in the affected area.

The occurrence of cellulite is thought to be influenced by hormone levels, diet (and toxin intake), lifestyle and genetic factors. We have a few great tips on how to reduce cellulite significantly, but unfortunately there is still no miracle cure.

Toxins and diet

It is generally agreed that ridding your body of toxins such as alcohol, cigarette smoke and caffeine will have a positive effect on the appearance of cellulite. This is because they can cause restrictions in blood supply, worsening the condition. Likewise, your intake of salt and highly processed foods should be cut to a minimum. Salt often causes bloating and fluid retention, further exasperating the problem, while highly processed foods often contain all kinds of additives (including salt) that may have a negative impact on skin tone. Drinking plenty of water (preferably bottled or filtered) and increasing your wholegrain intake will help you to prevent water retention and flush toxins away.

Other favourite anti-cellulite diet tips;

– Avoid saturated fat and increase your intake of lean meats and fish, pulses, fruit and vegetables.

– Add onions to your everyday diet, they help to release water from skin cells.

– Start every day with a glass of warm water and fresh lemon juice. This is a very effective way of flushing toxins from the body.

Lifestyle and exercise

Diet alone is not enough to combat cellulite. Lowering your body fat through exercise and improving tone through massage, body brushing and various products and treatments can substantially improve the appearance of your problem areas.

There are several salon treatments designed to break down fat deposits and there are even specialist tights and underwear on the market that work on the same principle. Those that focus on heating and massaging the fat in affected areas can improve skin tone if used regularly. These products and treatments work by breaking down or ‘melting’ fat back into the bloodstream where it can then be processed by the body and excreted. You could also try ‘power plate’ workouts as part of your fitness programme.

Of course you don’t need to go to the salon to test the effectiveness of manipulating and stimulating the skin – self-massage and body brushing are great alternatives. These techniques can be made a part of your daily routine quite easily and are inexpensive to try.

The key to reducing cellulite is to combine the above approaches and to stick with it for at least 4-6 weeks if you want to see results.

Things You Should Know About Concealed Carry Leggings

Concealed carry leggings are not the same as standard leggings. They are designed to hide a handgun while wearing them. You need to consider several features when buying a pair of conceament leggings.

Gun retention

There are several ways to secure your gun in concealment leggings. Use a simple holster or an elastic retention strap. The holster should be made to grab the fabric of the leggings. Two examples are the UltiClip and Fabriclip. You can also wear a holster like the Raven Concealment Vanguard, crafted from a soft and versatile fabric.

Unlike pocket holsters, gun retention with concealment leggings can also be achieved with a kydex holster. This type of holster completely covers the gun’s trigger, reducing the chance of the weapon being accidentally engaged. There are other options for handguns that aren’t compatible with Kydex holsters, such as removable ones.

Fabric options

When purchasing concealment leggings, consider the type of fabric you want. Many concealment leggings are made of athletic fabric, which wicks moisture away from the skin and dries quickly. This type of fabric is often comfortable and easy to clean.

Another type of fabric used in concealment leggings is nylon. While this fabric is not as comfortable as some other fabrics, it is very breathable and comfortable. Fabric blends ranging from polyester to spandex are also available.

Retention test

A retention test is crucial for concealment leggings to ensure they are comfortable and practical. The test involves placing a gun in the holster and performing everyday movements. If the leggings fail the test, they won’t be effective in real-life scenarios.

The retention test is the most crucial factor when evaluating concealment leggings.

While a gun is often the primary defensive tool, legging with ample pocket space is also helpful for carrying other items. Knives, tourniquets, pepper spray, and flashlights can all be concealed within the leggings.

Draw and reholster test

Performing the draw and reholster test on concealment leggings is essential in determining their ability to keep your concealed firearm safely within reach. It involves using a blue gun and reholstering it after it has been drawn. You want a legging that doesn’t make you uncomfortable while performing these actions. You also want one that can easily be concealed in various outfits.

It would be best if you also considered the retention of the holster. Some leggings are more supportive than others, so you may find it challenging to carry a heavier firearm in them. Besides a gun, leggings are also suitable for carrying other things like pepper spray, knives, flashlights, tourniquets, and other safety gear. A good pair of leggings should have ample pockets to hold these items.

Tall-size shirts aid in concealment

If you want to improve your concealment skills, buying a tall-size shirt can help. These shirts are longer in the hem and sleeves, which aids in concealment while standing, bending over, and sitting. They also have a longer hem, which means you can wear them longer if you want.

A Green Guide for Recycling Your Holiday Gadgets

A Green Guide for Recycling Your Holiday Gadgets

With last minute holiday shoppers abound, right now is the busiest time of year to be purchasing new electronic devices and gadgets. According to the Consumer Electronic Association’s annual CE Holiday Purchase Patterns Study, this year’s electronic holiday gift giving will reach an all time high; accounting for over one third of all holiday purchases. Computers are at the top of nearly every wish list throughout the country.

Sadly, most consumers do not have a plan to recycle or even dispose of old gadgets. This is the perfect time to recycle unwanted technology. If you do not recycle, it upon bringing that lovely new laptop or the ultra-chic iPod home chances are the old and unused gadgets will continue to clutter your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2009 alone over 5 million short tons of unwanted, unused recyclable technology waste was being held in storage throughout the country. Worse yet, in a cleaning frenzy, these older products may end up in a landfill rather than a recycling center simply out of desperation to de-clutter your home. By simply taking the time to correctly dispose of your old computer when you get a new one will reduce disorder in your home, help the earth and if you recycle through the Dell Reconnect program, create jobs and profit your local community. As an added bonus, if you chose to recycle your gadgets before the year’s end, that too can be a valuable tax write off!

Before recycling old computers, laptops, or tablets be sure to save all files and then wipe the hard drive of all personal data before donating/recycling it. After that, all you need to do is simply find a recycling center near you. Generally, the retailer that you bought the device from will take it back free of charge. You may also want to consider the program Reconnect, I mentioned earlier. Dell and Goodwill have created a partnership to better serve communities nationwide. All you need to do is find a Goodwill near you to drop off your device, even if it is not a Dell. Goodwill and Dell handles the rest. All proceeds from this go towards assisting those in local communities and Goodwill’s main priority of helping with job creation. In addition, this also cuts down on waste, pollution and environmental degradation, which is the priority of every eco-family. When dealing with Apple products, it is always advised to return them back to Apple. You can either ship them directly or return at your local retailer. While you are taking care of those unwanted devices don’t forget to include any accessories such as keyboards, speakers, mouse pads or ear buds to name just a few. All of these accessories can also be returned to the manufacturer, donated via Reconnect or if Goodwill isn’t near you, nearly any other thrift store can and will accept such accessories.

Computers and other technological devices are made of many, …

What Should You Look For in a Bikram Yoga Mat?

What Should You Look For in a Bikram Yoga Mat?

Donna had been taking a traditional yoga class for years. She started in a beginner class and has worked her way up to more challenging poses offered in an intermediate-level class. Because she has been so involved in yoga for years, she had a huge selection of yoga clothing for women in her closet as well as an Ashtanga yoga mat. With so much yoga gear on hand, she didn’t think she needed to buy anything special when she signed up to take a hot, or Bikram, yoga class.

So Donna went to her first hot yoga class and soon realized that she didn’t have quite the right gear after all. After just a few minutes in the class, she realized that the traditional mat she had always used wasn’t really suited for a hot yoga class after all. Are you interested in knowing what makes a Bikram yoga mat different than other mats? Here are the key features of this type of mat:

• Extra Sticky. Many of the traditional mats on the market today are designed to be slip-resistant, and this is key to your safety during the class. However, your mat is going to get saturated with sweat in hot yoga, so you want a mat that is extra-sticky and adhesive to the floor even when it is wet.

• Extra Absorbent. A Bikram yoga mat is designed to be absorbent, and this is key because in a hot yoga class, you will be sweating quite a bit. You don’t want sweat all of the floor, so you want a mat that will absorb your wetness.

Hot yoga is an intensive and very challenging class. You will be sweating a lot, and your body will be challenged to the peak, so you want to have the right clothing on and you want to have a bikram yoga mat, too. You are sure to enjoy your hot yoga class, but you will get more out of it when you bring the right mat to class with you, so spend some time looking for the right mat that is designed specifically for hot yoga.

Fashion History – The 1920’s in Today’s Trends

Fashion History – The 1920’s in Today’s Trends

It’s Halloween and you are all ready to roll. This year you have decided to go as a flapper. You’ve set your hair in tight, neat finger waves, and pulled your garter up your leg, which is still exposed under the extremely short hemline of your boxy, shimmy dress. You take a look at yourself in the full-length mirror and stop to think for a moment. Just a decade before the flapper Charlestoned the night away on the dance floor, women had their knees hidden under layers of material. Arms covered in yards of fabric were certainly not bare and free to move to the jazzy beats to come in the age of the Speakeasy. So how did this most sexy of Halloween costumes come to be? What is behind the shapeless, short, shift dress you see reflected in the mirror before you?

• Accessibility. The information age had officially begun. Vogue and Vanity Fair were in circulation picturing the latest fashion trends. Women found themselves fantasizing about wearing clothes just like they had seen in the magazine. Most wonderful of all was that this clothes was actually accessible. It was the Roaring 20’s. Times were good and fabrics were available. Most convenient of all was that this clothes was extremely easy to make – boxy shapes with very little tailoring. Women found themselves with the necessary skills, funds, and know-how to create a sexy flapper dress in their own home.

• Rebellion. Literally yards upon yards of fabric went into women’s clothing before the turn of the century. On top of all that material, or rather underneath, was a garter, a bust-enhancing device designed to restrict a woman’s breathing to a shallow whisper. But the 1920’s saw important changes that included the woman’s right to vote. That made the ladies stop and breathe… or at least they tried to… and then they untied their garters and took the deepest most freeing breath to date. Dresses lost almost all structure. Gone were cinched waists and in were flat chests. The fellas still got an eyeful with a whole lot of rarely-before-seen skin.

• Sports. You may wonder what sports have to do with the flapper dress. They have everything to do with its freedom of movement. Tennis, golf, swimming… women of the 20’s were expressing their athleticism and needed more comfortable clothing in which to do so. The trends of the decade reflected this trend in women’s sport. You can’t hit a backhand down the line with a garter that physically splits your upper and lower body into two. Those restrictions had to go; and as a result, women became fitter and healthier. An athletic body was in, and the flapper dress was the perfect way to display it.

So on this Halloween, wear that sexy flapper costume proudly. It’s far more than a little dress. It is a socio-economic fashion statement that inspired women to burn their bras and train to …

Online Soccer Gifts Would Pleasantly Surprise You With The Choices You Have

Online Soccer Gifts Would Pleasantly Surprise You With The Choices You Have

Soccer gifts are always appreciated by soccer buffs in our families. Italians believe it is quite natural for corporates to offer gifts when the occasion arises. However, a small problem cannot be overlooked. You just cannot afford to make a wrong choice and gift someone a very expensive gift and others not. If you had a choice of gifts, this would not happen, which means you need comprehensive information that would lead you to a wide range of gifts. Recent gifts are always appreciated more by a receiver. Online soccer stores bring that information to you all with a few clicks of your computer keyboard. It may surprise you, but there are stores that offer close to 100,000 different soccer gifts. Almost any item can be easily located online.

Some Great Gift Ideas

A soccer ground can actually be gifted; however, some affordable and fun gift ideas may be a better start.

Jerseys: Soccer players are identified by the jersey they wear, which means soccer training equipment cannot be complete unless it includes a practice and team jersey. Gift your kid a jersey with his favorite player’s name printed on one of them, and you would have made his day.

Best Soccer Shoes: Soccer would be incomplete without the soccer shoes or cleats. The right choice out here is a close fit, as shoes are likely to get worn out before kids outgrow them. A balance is achieved by buying shoes that are averagely priced, and a smart buyer would get good quality shoes for as low as $15.

Head Gear: Soccer may be played with our feet, but if kids have a choice, they would love to wear soccer caps on the field as well. Manage to get a unique designer cap for your kid, and he would jump with joy even though he knows he cannot wear it during practice or in a game. Gifting is the way to a loved one’s heart, and finding gifts that are appreciated is really not that difficult once you get familiar with the online soccer world. You will find a unique one.

Soccer Pennant: A kid’s room has to be colorful and bright. It has to generate spark and a feeling of excitement which a soccer player thrives on. A real size soccer pennant can add the zest needed to pursue the sport in earnest, which makes it an excellent gift that remains for a long time.

Unusual Gifts: Soccer is a world sport that is watched by a great deal of people. Designers have realized the potential in catering to the millions of soccer fans that would love to own stuff that others do not have. Collectibles work fine, and so do replica items, but unusual soccer gifts are known to sell like hot cakes.

Fashion With Your Chiropractic Health in Mind

Fashion With Your Chiropractic Health in Mind

Keeping up with fashion trends is important, but it may not be good for your health. Many people focus so intently on looking stylish that their bodies suffer the consequences. They may look great, but feel terribly uncomfortable.

This season’s runways are showing the usual: high heels, tight pants and miniskirts, and an overabundance of accessories. But these looks can wreak havoc on the body, resulting in back, spine, leg, and neck pain. Women are wearing these huge heels and overstuffed handbags all day, not just to walk down a runway, and they are not conscious of the effects these fashion trends are having on their bodies.

Wearing high heels is not just uncomfortable; they can cause damage to the feet and back. Women who wear them may not realize this scary fact. High heels force the musculoskeletal system of the body to adapt to a new and different equilibrium, because they throw off the body’s natural balance. The pelvis tips forward when high heels are worn for any extended amount of time. This forces the normal curvature of the spine to change in order to keep a center of gravity. If one stands with flat feet, the body is perfectly balanced. In contrast, high heels compel the hamstrings to tighten and the pelvis to maintain the body’s equilibrium.

Men, as well as women, are known to sacrifice function for fashion. But it is mostly women that wear clothing that may be too tight. These items look good, but they may be too tight to feel good. Easy, everyday movements like walking, bending, and sitting become labored in clothing that is too tight. Being uncomfortable in tight clothing can also put the body off balance, as an uncomfortable person may demonstrate poor posture and spine misalignment.

Carrying heavy purses, handbags, and backpacks is another fashion trend that is having a terrible effect on the body. Some people carry bags that add up to more than ten percent of their own body weight. If you carry a heavy bag on one shoulder, the spine tends to curve toward that shoulder, resulting in the shoulders being unnaturally counterbalanced. It is quite common, especially for men, to keep a heavy wallet in a back pocket. Carrying this extra weight is not necessary and could hurt the spine, as it’s detrimental to sit on an object for any significant length of time.

You can be in style and also take care of your chiropractic health. Here are the ways you can chose clothing and accessories that will both look and feel great.

Pick shoes that feel good when you are both standing still and walking. If you plan to wear high heels, it’s a good idea to bring along an extra pair of flat, comfortable shoes that you can change into afterward. Make sure your everyday footwear is supportive and easy to walk in so that your body weight is evenly distributed.

Therefore the universal character of clothing introduced into fashion by Giorgio Armani became a hit in the 80s of the last century. There was no need to distinguish between men’s and women’s designs in Armani Clothing. The same cut is used for both lines. It seems that the fashion designer is too casual about the the consumers liked the idea! Unisex as the hallmark of Armani style was revealed in suit-jackets of the fashion designer. Unisex style gradually entered our life and conquered hearts and admiration of many people all over the globe. Blurring the borderlines between sexes, Armani paved the way to his fame this way.

Informal use of the word “unisex” coined in 1960s was not used formally for quite a long period of time but trendsetters made their work and changed the history of fashion world. Now unisex is a popular notion and well-liked by all who do not want to complicate their life with tiresome restrictions. Frames were destroyed here and that was only natural at the age of feminists’ claims and their desire to be equal with men. Actually the task of a talented fashion designer is to feel coming trend, and to be able to make these ideas come to life through designs.

It should be noted that unisex is rather convenient thing and not only for shoppers of this type of clothing. Clothing manufacturers try to save money distributing market shares between different groups of people, making solutions vital for brand. The main difference in target audience is gender alongside with age, lifestyle and income. Thanks to unisex clothing one barrier is eliminated.

This masquerade of equality is like utopian dream, which is recurring again and again. Some barriers emerged on the way to it and were caused mainly by denial of the opposite sex fashion features. Women were ready to acknowledge casual genderless garments but as for men, not all were ready for silks and beads. Therefore, unisex remained still masculine style upon the whole and is not exactly unisex. Men tried to avoid everything they considered with a touch of feminine image. Dream of togetherness failed in 70s when men refused to wear brightly colored kaftans designed by Rudi Gernreich. The first concession men made to countersex ideas is long hair which came into fashion.

The favorite material for making unisex clothing has become denim. The attempts of Yves Saint Laurent to create unisex scent got nowhere and this aroma was not accepted by the public. The matter is that desire to put on unisex clothing is explained also by wish to put on disguise which adds mystery to the image. Why do you think Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich were so alluring in mannish costumes? This extraordinary outfit emphasized their feminine nature. So unisex is good not only for convenience. This is a tricky disguise many ladies use, employing it skillfully with great success!…

Thread Crochet – The Perfect Handmade Gift

Thread Crochet – The Perfect Handmade Gift

Everyone loves to receive a gift that has been specially made for them by you. If you love to do handwork as I do, working on something while watching television or sitting outside on a pretty day gives me time to make all kinds of gifts for all kinds of occasions. Most of the time I have three or four different projects going at the same time! That way I don’t get bored with just one item. Since I love to both crochet and knit, I can have a mixture to break up the monotony.

If you have several small projects in mind, go for the bigger projects or patterns for that ‘special’ person or occasion. As an example, for a wedding gift the couple might be special enough for you to spend a great many hours on a beautiful Throw or Afghan

If you are comfortable with your crochet skill, you might try using crochet thread. You probably already have some patterns you can use and it will totally change the look of the finished piece.

Another consideration is cost of gift. You do need to determine how much you will be spending, especially on a large project and be content with it. I have started different patterns in the past where I could just pick up a very standard yarn a little at a time, to avoid buying all of the supplies at once. Don’t do it! When the instructions tell you to get all the yarn in the same dye lot, there’s a reason. I’ve even had a white yarn show different on a finished project. That’s a lot of work and time invested for it to be ruined because you didn’t get all you needed to start with.

One last thing to mention about making gifts. Try to consider what the person you’re making the gift for likes. Sometimes we make only what we like, but maybe they won’t like the same colors or style. Most importantly, they don’t want it to look like the Afghan your grandmother made forty years ago! You don’t need to spend your valuable time and money if your gift is going straight into a closet. With the economy the way it is, you can save yourself some money, and lower your stress level at the same time, by knitting or crocheting some Handmade gifts.…

Wearing the Right Clothes For a Job Interview

Wearing the Right Clothes For a Job Interview

For most people, the only thing more nerve-racking than worrying about the questions to be asked in an interview is worrying about what to wear to the said event. Your main goal should be to look professional – someone who would fit in with the company.

Generally speaking, men should not overdress for an interview. Wearing a shirt and tie or a suit is always a safe choice. But for women, picking clothes may be a bit more challenging.

For both men and women, be sure to pick an outfit that you feel comfortable in and fits you properly. You wouldn’t want to deal with pants that are too tight or a top that restricts your breathing while you’re trying to concentrate on your interview.

In line with this, be sure to pick clothes in colors that are appropriate for the occasion. Try to avoid bright colors and bold prints. You want your interviewer to focus on your answers to the questions and not what you’re wearing. But then again, it isn’t all about the clothes. During an interview, the overall appearance of the applicant is taken into consideration. Hygiene and grooming are important; make sure you look neat and tidy. Try not to wear a strong scent during the interview either. The interview will most likely be held in a small room. An overpowering scent can make others uncomfortable.

Be mindful of your fingernails too. They should be short and clean. Keep your hair clean and tidy as well. If you can’t brush your teeth right before the interview, bring a mint with you.

You may be wondering what all this fuss about appearance has to do with your qualifications for the job… The truth is how you look matters a lot, especially if you’re going to be dealing with clients face-to-face. Companies want to hire people who can represent who they are in the best possible light.…

Avoid These Mistakes When purchasing a black Cocktail Dress

Black cocktail dresses have been an essential part of every woman’s wardrobe. The sleek black dress has been seen by almost every working woman in an office setting. And while some may say that it is still a formal look, you can wear it any time you want to feel confident and beautiful. But if you are thinking of purchasing your very first one or adding another piece to your existing collection, make sure not to commit these mistakes when choosing which one to purchase for yourself.

Buying a Dress That Is Too Long or Too Short For Your Height

You might think that this is just a personal preference, but it actually isn’t – so remember to consider your height before buying. For example, if you are tall, you should know that wearing a dress with a hemline that ends near the floor will only make your legs look short and stumpy. This is why it would be better to go for something with an average length or even shorter if you’d like.

Wearing Incorrect Shoes with Your Dress

You might be thinking of going barefoot or wearing flat shoes with your black cocktail dress but don’t do it. Baring too much skin isn’t a good idea for this type of occasion, so just put on some pumps or high-heeled sandals, especially if the dress is mini; wearing anything else will only give off a look that you are trying too hard.

Steer Clear Of Matching Colors with Your Dress

While you might think that it would be ideal to wear a pair of shoes in the same shade as your dress, it isn’t recommended. Like with all other clothing pieces, you should carefully consider which color combinations work best for you before buying your dress and make sure not to pick one that makes you feel uncomfortable. This goes for nail polish as well.

There are tons of affordable yet stylish options which you can find online, so why not purchase one or two low-priced pieces and then see what works for you? It’s a much better idea than going all-in with a particular brand right away. And remember, practice makes perfect.…

Breaking it Down – Golf Swing Analysis

Breaking it Down – Golf Swing Analysis

Unison with each other in order create a fluid motion that will make the ball travel far and straight. In breaking down the setup of golf swing, there are three different elements that each contribute to making solid contact.

– Stance – A proper stance is a vital part of a successful golf swing. When addressing the ball, get into a comfortable athletic stance, as if you are getting ready to field a ground ball. Like every other sport, golf requires a loose but sturdy ready position. Bend at the hips, keep your back straight, and slightly bend your knees. Become comfortable in the stance (again, think about how a shortstop bounces his knees to get into a ready position) before taking the club head into a backswing.

– Alignment – Where you line up will dictate which direction the ball will travel in. When you step up to the ball, draw an imaginary line from your back foot to your front foot. Whichever direction this line points will be the direction the ball will travel. A good way to practice alignment is to take a club and place it against both toes. The club will point to where the ball will travel.

– Grip – Many people often use the familiar baseball grip and apply it to a golf club. This grip, however, will cause you to come over the ball, which in turn leads to a dead pull. When holding the club properly, you should be able to see two “V”‘s made from each hand’s index finger and thumb. This usually is done by turning both wrists in towards your body.

(This varies depending on how each individual golfer was taught to hold a club.) Additionally, unlike a baseball grip, a golf grip entails interlocking your right pinkie with your left index finger for righties, and visa verse for lefties.

Perfecting these setup techniques is only the first half of creating a correct golf swing. The latter half is the swing itself, made up of the backswing and the follow through. It is difficult to describe the appropriate way to swing a club for two reasons: First, every shot requires a different motion, and second, each golfer should use a swing that best suits their skill level, body type, and many other variables.…

If the clothes are still in good condition and they are still usable, many would find it worth buying and you will have a better return for your money.

Kikoys – A Necessity In Your Summer Wardrobe Collection

Kikoys – A Necessity In Your Summer Wardrobe Collection

When you suddenly start resenting the warmth of your favourite winter suit, when hot coffee stops being the ideal beverage of the day, you get the signal that it’s time to bid farewell to the lovely winters! This is the time when you begin to dread the scorching rays of the sun, sweat odour in the air and dehydration. In other words, summer for most people, is always the worst nightmare. However, some of us especially women look forward to the scorching weather because that is when they get to show off their skin with that perfect tan. Be it a shopping mall or a local beach, you see miniskirts, shorts, strappy tops and loose frocks everywhere!

So, if you want to look sexy, smart and flaunt those good looks, you would definitely like your wardrobe to be diverse, unique and definitely up-to-date. One item that always looks trendy and stylish especially during summers is the long dress. These long dresses come in various designs and colours. Their soft fabric is comfortable in a sweaty climate and the loose fit provides air ventilation; just what you need in summers. One such dress which has recently emerged as the most ‘in-vogue’ item is the Kikoi.

Kikoi – A Legacy Of The Traditionalists

A traditional East African garment worn by Swahili sailors seafaring the Indian ocean, kikois have been worn for centuries and is now being offered as a versatile beach wear attire to people everywhere. Although they are served and worn as sarongs, the versatility of this dress will allow you to use them in many different forms, such as scarves, pajamas, a turban and even for brightening up your room as a sofa-throw. The best part is that a Kikoi suits people from all statures due to its affordable cost. Some people also use this to decorate their house; as curtain palmate, table runners or sofa cushions.

Coming back to Kikoi as a dress, let’s explore the options of how and where to buy this dress from. Since it is not readily available in stores, shopping for a Kikoi online seems to be a good idea. However there are some drawbacks of this purchase:

You will not be able to try it on before you buy it to see if it fits you

The colour may turn out to be different than how it seems in the picture

You will not have the option of trying out different styles to see which one looks the best on your body-type.

But then the brighter side is that you are not restricted to just use your kikoi as a dress. In case you do not like how it looks on you (which is seldom the case), you can always utilize it in the many different ways as discussed earlier. Kikoi just has to be a must-add to your summer collection.…

Tips on Buying Trendy Kids’ Clothes

Tips on Buying Trendy Kids’ Clothes

Although buying trendy kids’ clothes can be a very fun activity do with your partner or kids, it can also be a major challenge that could very well be a good cause of stress. As with anything that involves kids, any fun-filled activity can instantly turn into a headache-inducing scenario at any time. This is especially true if you’re looking to buy kids’ trendy clothing with them tagging along. You have to understand that most kids-particularly toddlers-don’t know the first thing about what looks good on them, or what fashion trends are hot and not. And if that’s not enough, some kids are unable to tell you if they’re comfortable or not in the clothes that you’re fitting them in.

With the said, the best thing you can do is to plan your shopping activities carefully and explain to your child (or children, if you can handle taking them along with you) how you want the whole experience to go. Once that’s done, you can then proceed to buying trendy kids’ clothes, which hopefully not only makes your child look more handsome or pretty, but also gives you an image of a fashion-conscious parent.

To get you started, here are a few tips to consider when you buy kids’ trendy clothing.

Choose according to gender, season and purpose

Although they’re tempting to purchase if you want to save money, unisex clothes are definitely not in style anymore, so choose kids’ clothes which are appropriate to your child’s gender. Comfort then comes next, and this factor should be your main consideration before choosing styles. It also pays to choose clothes with an idea of which occasions and activities they should be worn to. As a rule of thumb, it’s always best to choose durable clothes that can withstand the active lifestyles of children. Here’s another tip: polyester and other wrinkle-free fabrics are your best friend.

Trendy, but safe

There’s really nothing wrong with buying trendy kids’ clothes for kids, even if some people will tell you that they go out of style too quickly. You can avoid this problem by simply buying safe choices that will still look good for many years to come. Zany outfits may look fun at first, but will you really be able to reuse them a few years from now if you plan to have more children?

These are just some tips to help you buy kids’ trendy clothing. Above all else, remember to relax, and have fun!…
