The Perfect Prom Dress

Want a prom dress that?s going to turn everyone?s head when you walk into the room? Want a prom dress that is different from everyone else?s prom dress? Well you can have that perfect prom dress. What colors are in style for prom dresses? For the prom in 2007 you will see some new colors you have not seen in fashion for a while like navy and burgundy gold, raspberry, purple orange, black and white, and all the fun prom colors like turquoise, lime and fuchsia. Girls always love purple and this year for the prom you will see the best purple gowns. Royal blue is making a comeback big time for 2007--a sure winner. Royal blue is a real hot color this year. Gold and silver will be important and the new metallic lam? fabrics will show you off to the limit.

What kind of style should I focus on if I want to look sexy in my prom dress? Sexy prom dresses for 2007 are everywhere. Want to know what styles are hot? Glad you asked. I?ll tell you. Ruffles (the french look), drapes, tiers, high slits, lace; hi-low hemlines and mermaid silhouettes are the sexy favorites for this year. They are making their way back into the heart of many teens for the prom. You'll see lots of sexy ball gowns. Everyone wants to like a princess.

What type of prom dress should I look for if I?m not that tall? Many girls that aren?t so tall (like me) are going toward fitted silhouettes and flirty, little short dresses. These prom dresses come in an array of fun colors. Remember, you got to use what you got! Flaunt all your assets! Helpful tips to finding the perfect prom dress:

Now keep in mind, any dress can look great on the hanger but remember you have to purchase a style and look that goes with your height, body shape, hair and skin coloring. Don't buy into the belief that there are a limited number of colors that work for you; instead, be your own best fashion designer and hold up dresses to your face to see which ones bring out your skin tones, eyes and hair the best.

Warm colors like fire engine red and coral look best on brunettes with darker coloring; cool pastels work for blondes. But there are a myriad of colors -- metallic gold and silver included -- that work for all colorings. If you're not sure what type of prom dress style to go with for the prom drag a friend to a store and get a second opinion while trying on lots of colors to see which ones compliment your look best. Learn to embrace your body, too. If you aren't comfortable in curve-hugging dresses because of too much jiggle, then try a body slimmer underneath for more control. Everyone has at least one great asset, even if it's something as simple as thick hair, white teeth or nice legs.

You don't have to do anything too extravagant to show off your best feature, just make sure that your look shows it off and enhances it. If your best feature is great skin, the last thing you'd want to do is cover up every inch of it with clothing. Dressing for your best feature is less about dressing for size or age and more about making the best of what you have to work with. One important thing to remember is when you?re looking to buy a prom dress focus on a bling bling dress or bling bling accessories not both. If you have both it would be to overwhelming to the naked eye and one will take away from the other. The idea here is to make either the dress or the accessories the focus, not both.

For example, a bronze strapless gown with no adornment could carry a chunky diamond bracelet and necklace or a pair of chandelier earrings. Solid color dresses and neutrals are a great backdrop for colorful jewels. On the other hand, the more ruffles, tiers and beading a dress has, the simpler the accessories should be. It doesn't mean you have to go bare but you need to use self-control and choose smaller pieces.

The difficulty to dressing for special occasions such as homecoming or the prom is that young women look wrong if they dress their age: in froufrou dress, young women/girls look ready for prom. Look at magazines web sites and see what?s in style. You don?t want to go looking like grandma just run over by a reindeer!

Different styles to consider:

Movie Star Style Want to look like a movie star? Show your sense of style with a designer-inspired gown: many labels create their own jazzed-up versions of celebrity-chic dresses. Dresses by Jovani, Paris, Clarisse, Mori Lee, and Niteline, are famous for producing red-carpet looks at an affordable price. Important red carpet looks this year include one-shoulder Grecian gown and empire waist dresses.

Elegance If the movie star prom dress isn?t for you then tone down the look and choose a cool cocktail dress look. Whether you favor aristocratic circle skirts or sleek, trimmer hems, this dress will come in handy for other occasions

Princess Look Elegant trains add serious punch. Go for a small drape (called a duster) or full-on train (called chapel) ? either way, your exit leaves a definite lasting impression.

Covering Dresses A movie star favorite, covering dresses are as comfortable as they are stunning. Keep in mind that with a simple dress like this, accessories are a must! From pearls to diamonds to a mix of pendants, anything goes. Bling bling all the way!

The Wow Look Let the little Marilyn Monroe come out with a mega feminine, hip-hugging gown. Select dresses made with delicate fabrics, like satin or silk, that drapes well and creates curves. To keep with the retro tone, finish with a clutch purse and peep-toe pumps.

Girly Girl Skirts Stemmed from summer?s plain skirt rage, tiered skirts are having a serious comeback. This trend can go two very unique routes: the sophisticated ballroom skirt or the breezy ?plain dress?. Black is Back If you plan on sporting your prom dress again, the little black dress is a classic. Choose a sleek string dress, flirty shift, or take your look from Audrey Hepburn with a chic prom dress.

It?s high but Boy Is It Low. Last year?s asymmetrical hem has been replaced by the ?high-low? dress. The hem, which is short in the front and longer in the back, is so unique and adorable; you'll have all eyes on you! It's a great alternative because it's short enough to dance in but long enough to look dressy.

Strapless Baby Strapless prom dresses have become a prom staple for great reason. They are equal parts sassy and classy. They flatter any figure. And they don?t require a necklace. Keep your eyes out for dresses with beautiful beading and elegant embroidery around the bust?a big style this year.

Homecoming Queen The ultimate Cinderella-at-the-ball dress and accessories. A bouffant skirt and otherwise simple top combination is for the homecoming queens at style. These gowns require minimal accessories because they?re so show stopping. But make sure you get home before midnight. Yeah right!

The best advice I tell young girls looking for the perfect prom dress is to have fun with fashion. Try something new: venture into a store that you've never shopped in, try on dresses that you always wanted to wear, but was afraid to try on. The idea is to push the limits of your prom wardrobe and experience innovative looks.

Not Your Mother's Wedding Jewelry Anymore


In the past, the wedding gown has always been the only focal point of the bride's special day, but that is now changing. The gown is now just a part of her ensemble. No longer does the bride need to be afraid of using color, or jewelry, or other accessories as part of her special look.


Fading away is the all-white look of innocence! Fashion-conscious brides are now choosing to wear gowns in colors, are choosing rings in colors, or are adding accessory pieces in color to their special day. Engagement rings designed with stones other than clear diamonds started to grow in popularity with the magnificent sapphire ring worn by Princess Diana. Today, rings in yellow diamond, tanzanite, sapphire and emerald are rapidly becoming more and more in favor. This interest in color touched off by the engagement ring, is flowing over into the wedding jewelry worn during the ceremony. A necklace with colored stones matching the stone in the ring, can accent a bride's dress during the wedding, then becoming a wonderful part of her jewelry wardrobe after the ceremony. And for the less formal wedding, chunky colored beads, whether they are in the pink, green, or blue tones, can add a refreshing touch!


In addition to the color trend in wedding wear, brides are choosing to accent their gowns with big, bold necklaces. The dainty little necklaces accented with pearls or crystals are losing out to necklaces that aren't just a nice little touch, but are focusing all attention onto the bride. Dramatic collars, clusters or long strands of large pearls or beads, asymmetrical looks, multi-strand drops and V-necks are all styles of necklaces that are letting the bride boldly express her individuality. Dresses for fall and spring are often strapless, or have very little neckline interest. Both of these features permit the bride to create her own interest using bold jewelry pieces, often in color. The jewelry, not the dress, is creating and demanding more and more attention.


While the main jewelry trend is big necklaces, there are other jewelry pieces that a bride can use to accent her wedding look as well. Chandelier earrings are back in a big way and the bigger the better! Metals, stones, crystals, and even colored beads are dangling from the ears of many a bride. With or without a complementary necklace, chandelier earrings are often big enough to give the bride the dazzle she desires. And don't forget about bracelets! Big bold cuffs in metal, multi-strands of beads, or single strands of large chunky beads have found their way onto the arm of brides who want to really make a fashion statement.


A great way to incorporate the old saying of needing 'something blue' in your wedding is to put the blue color in your jewelry. Blue stones or beads in the earrings or necklace, or even an anklet with blue stones can keep that bit of tradition alive. The 'something old' part of that saying can be preserved by enchantingly using a vintage pin as an accent on a wedding dress. Pinned near the waist or at the neckline, in either the front or back, a vintage pin can add just the needed touch to a retro-styled dress.


Brides of today have a medley of choices when choosing how they want to look on their wedding day. The frilly white dress adorned with pearls or beads, a dainty little necklace and earrings, and a multi-tier veil are no longer the paradigm of the perfect bride. Toss in some color, a very bold necklace, large chandelier earrings, or a large bracelet and you have a much truer picture of today's bride.

Sexy Strapless Bustiers You Only Need One!




 



Sexy Strapless Bustiers - You Only Need One!Submitted By: Amanda Cotterill  
















A strapless bustier is one of the most versatile pieces of sexy lingerie that a woman can own. A well-designed bustier can provide many of the figure shaping benefits of a corset, without the accompanying discomfort. A bustier can be used to provide definition underneath other clothes, or worn instead of a shirt, perhaps paired with a beautiful jacket. Although bustiers and the related basque come in many styles, a strapless bustier provides maximum options. Read on for some important information about this amazing garment.


Basque, Bustier or Corset?


All three terms are often used interchangeably, so it is important to examine a garment to determine if it is what you want, regardless of the label. Strictly speaking, however, there are some design differences. A corset has traditionally been used for figure definition and even waist training, although modern styles are much less restrictive. Nonetheless, a corset laces up, contains boning, and takes inches off the waist. A bustier generally has light boning or a control panel, and is designed to gently sculpt the body rather than confine it. A basque is similar to a bustier, but may not contain control panels or boning, and often has straps or even small cap sleeves. In general, a corset does not feature built-in cups, while the bustier and the basque both do. However, this is not always the case.


Sizing a Strapless Bustier


A bustier is sized according to the chest measurement of the bra size. This can make it difficult to find the perfect fit. Larger busted women may need to go up a size, while those with small busts may prefer to go down a size. If ordering online, be sure to read the size chart and ordering information closely. Also consider trying on a few bustiers in person to decide your exact size.


Strapless Bustier Styles


You can find strapless bustiers in a wide range of styles, from relatively demure to blatantly sexy. The style you select will depend on the ways in which you plan to wear the bustier. If it will be used for body shaping beneath outerwear, select a relatively plain style without a lot of details that may show through your outer garment. However, if you plan to substitute the bustier for a shirt, then the sky is truly the limit. Look for styles with a lot of detailing that add a dressy, glamorous touch.


The Bottom Line


The strapless bustier is an excellent addition to a collection of sexy lingerie. Both practical and functional, the bustier can be worn in a bold and sexy style for the bedroom, a gently body sculpting version underneath any outfit, or even in a dressy and dramatic style in lieu of a shirt. Make sure that you understand how the bustier is sized and follow all ordering instruction carefully. Try on several styles before you buy, and you may even end up making several purchases.


Choose something sexy and you wont go far wrong, all sexy lingerie whether its babydolls, matching bra sets or just plain but very sexy lingerie.

Getting a Good Fit in Women's Bikini Swimwear and One Piece Swimwear


Women's swimwear can stretch up to 100% in some cases. Typically 75%, but what this really means is that the material will compress the body mass it encloses as it stretches more and more. If you stretch bikini swimwear material beyond its maximum comfort zone then unsightly bulges can result. What this means for most people is that if your hips are 41 then do not order a medium bottom. Order a large. A medium will fit but unless you have very good skin and muscle tone, then those unsightly bulges will probably result.


So it is VERY important to get proper measurements. Proper body measurement is key to a successful outcome. We'll take you through the basic measurements that the clothing industry depends on.


How To Measure: Use a cloth tape measure if possible. Note: Older flexible tape measures can sometimes stretch and distort over time.


The person being measured should be wearing his or her normal undergarments only. Measurements taken over bulky or constricting clothing will not be accurate. If you're measuring for something that will be worn only with a certain pair of shoes or a certain undergarment, it's okay to wear them during the measurement process.


Chest: To measure the chest circumference, place the tape around the fullest part of the chest or bust, under the arms. Keep the tape parallel to the floor. For chest width, measure across the widest part of the chest, beginning and ending at the point where the arm touches the body on each side.


Waist: You can find the true waist by taking a string or elastic band and tying it (parallel to the floor; snugly but not too tight) around the trunk of the person being measured. It will naturally fall to the narrowest part of the trunk. If you think the true waist area is too high, measure the circumference where you (or the person you're measuring) normally likes to wear pants or a skirt.


Hips: Measure around the body keeping tape around the largest part of the hips.


A few other tips on measuring:


 If you're rounding off your results (which is advisable), round them up to the nearest quarter-inch or half-centimeter
 Try to get someone to take the measurements for you - your posture will be more relaxed and natural. The measurements should be more accurate.
 Stand up straight and breathe normally
 Don't measure over the top of clothing
 Wear the bra you feel most comfortable in




Another consideration is, What kind of swimsuit looks best on me? What do I wear that will put emphasis on my positive features and distract from my not-so-flattering areas?


First of all, we don't put swimsuits on our bodies to make the suit look good - suits are worn to make our bodies look good - so choose one that brings out the best of YOU. Find a suit that accentuates the positives about YOUR body. How do you do that? Check out the body features and body types below and decide which best describes you. Then read which swimsuit styles flatter YOUR figure.
It's not about body size - it's about what makes YOU look and feel good about YOU. It's about making the body you have look its best. It's not about size either - don't be alarmed if your swimsuit is a size larger than your clothing size - that's usually the case for everyone.


FULL BOTTOM: (Hips & thighs are larger than the bust)
BEST STYLE: Skirted suits and strapless styles. Eye-catching tops draw attention upward.


FULL BUSTED: (Broad or large in bust area)
BEST STYLE: Higher neckline or built-in bra for support. Tankinis are ideal. Halters also work well; they support, hold up bust & flatter your figure.


FULL CENTER: (Round figure, not much definition to the figure)
BEST STYLE: Bottoms should have high cut legs; will make you look longer, leaner. Enhancing bust with underwire or padded top will make your waist look smaller giving the illusion of more of an hour glass. Vertical lines or shapes that angel up or down also lengthen the body.


HOUR GLASS: (Shapely, small waist, larger hips & bust)
BEST STYLE: You are one of the few fortunate ones. You have a
variety of choices. Most anything looks good on you.


LONG & SLENDER: (Curveless)
BEST STYLE: Florals, prints and stripes give the illusion of curves.


SMALL BUST: Petite or muscular chests
BEST STYLE: Tops with underwire & padding offer a Cleavage look. Sweetheart, V-neck or scoop necklines enhance the bust line also.


LARGE STOMACH: Rounded or protruding upper and/or lower abdomen
BEST STYLE: Camouflage it with floral prints or vertical stripes. If you're small busted also, wear an underwire or padded top to enhance your bust and make your figure appear more evened out. Higher cut legs also give you the appearance of looking longer and leaner. Higher waist bottoms or full bottoms with higher cut legs are great; they give the illusion of a flatter stomach. Tankini tops are a good way to cover the stomach area.


THICK THIGHS: Extra muscular or very large upper legs
BEST STYLE: No boy-leg bottoms; they make your legs look stocky. Instead, try a bottom with a high waist and high cut legs to make the legs appear longer and leaner.


ATHLETIC BODY: Broad shoulders & small bust, muscular arms & legs
BEST STYLE: Padded top gives appearance of cleavage. Asymmetrical necklines & midriff cutaways distract attention from broad shoulders & long torso.





OTHER TIPS:
- Large prints can make you look bigger
- More Lycra slims
- It's important to wear a swimsuit that FITS. If your suit is too big, it may appear to be hanging on you. A suit that's too small may cause bulging. Neither is attractive.


Again, it's about what makes YOU look and feel good about YOU and making the body you have look fabulous!

A Short History of Lingerie....


A Short History of Lingerie....

1907: American Vogue illustrated a rigid, boned brassiere with no division between the breasts. Believe it or not, it was actually worn over the corset .

1913: Mary Phelps devised the first modern bra with two lacy hankerchiefs and some help from her maid. The following year she sold the patent to a Mr Warner whom she had met at a garden party. That discussion would have been interesting.

1918: Corset-makers were running up bras designed to flatten rather than enhance. This did not last too long. You see, they were ignoring the fact that curves are much more alluring than flatness.

1925: Bras first had divisions between the breasts and adjustable straps. Thus, the first bra was introduced.

1938: Finally acknowledging that breasts did not come in standard sizes, bra-makers introduced A,B, C and D cups. Men everywhere rejoiced.

1940: Padding was first sneaked into bra cups. It was a deceptive and manipulative move. To this day, not one male has complained.

1950s: Strapless bras appeared and women were now able to wear an off-the-shoulder dress and still use a bra.

1959: Warners and Du Pont produced Lycra which we have continued to use ever since then. As a result, the many varied fashions and designs of lingerie have continued to expand.

1965: The no-bra bra was introduced to give support with a nothing-under effect. Half-hearted women's libbers rejoiced. Males unconsciously decided to let women's libbers enjoy themselves while they continued to enjoy women who looked good in a nice set of sexy lingerie.

1973: The first no-bounce sports bra was introduced. Males ignored this change. So what!

1980s: Frederick's of Hollywood and Victoria's Secrets become national icons. Men find themselves ordering lingerie from catelogs and going into mall stores to purchase female lingerie with total abandon.

1990s: The Internet is filled with sites that feature lingerie catalogs and user friendly steps to order some of the most risque' lingerie available anywhere.

2000: For those who plunge in and decide to enjoy this form of sexuality, it just keeps getting better and better and better.

Do Your Current Bra Fit You? Find Out Here!


Bras are like clothes, with different designs and cutting to accentuate different shapes of the breast. No one bra fits all shape.


How do you find out whether a bra fit you or not? Here's some tips.


Try doing your own measurement for bra and cup size and check if it matches your current bra size. If the size differ it might mean that your bra size have changed.


Your bra size consist of two figures; your back size and your cup. You will need to take two measurements using a tape measure.


Back Size : The measurement is taken around the body directly under the bust or your breasts (over your present bra).


Especially when buying a strapless bra, the bra has to fit slightly tighter but not too tight otherwise unsightly bulges would be formed. Use the following table to find your exact bra size.


Back Measurement (cms) / Bra back size
63 - 67 / 30
68 - 72 / 32
73 - 77 / 34
78 - 82 / 36
83 - 87 / 38
88 - 92 / 40



Cup size: this is determined the difference between bra back size and the measurement around the fullest part of the bust.


Calculate the difference of the 2 measurements, rounding it off to the nearest inch. Use the value to find out its corresponding cup size in the table below.


Difference / Cup size
1 / A
2 / B
3 / C
4 / D
5 / E
6 / F


After you have obtained both values, combine the two to get your exact fit size.


Also, if the bra fits tightly or is uncomfortable even though it is the same size as what you have measured, it might mean that the bra's design have a slightly different cutting or is more suitable for a different breast shape from yours.


Take your time the next time you shop for undergarments. Ask the shop's staff for help as they can help you do a more accurate measurement and give a good recommendation on which bra they carry is suitable for you.


A good bra of the correct fit is essential to a woman's breast, and majority of women are still unaware that they are not wearing the right bra. Women today should be aware that wearing the wrong bra size could cause all sorts of medical problems. Some of these symptoms includes backache, shoulder pain, neck ache, tender, aching bust, soreness under bust, grooves in shoulders, and bad posture.


Better fitting bras not only feel comfortable but also help your clothes to look better. A well-fitted bra is similar to a pair of well-fitting shoes. Women should re-measured regularly especially during pregnancy, following childbirth, weight loss or weight gain - as the breast size can change dramatically.


The advantages of a correct fit bra includes no more soreness under the bust, pulling the back down, lifting the shoulder swaps and popping back in what has flowed out, making four boobs.


The above information is found in Ms Yvonne Lee, internationally acclaimed book To All Women Who Want To Enhance Their Breasts Naturally, But Don't Know How To Start. It describes and details the most important breast enhancement techniques from every corner of the world. Author Yvonne Lee, provides an unbiased pro-and-con analysis of each breast enhancement techniques, in addition to practical information such as how and where to get it, cost involved and more.

Top 10 SavetheDay Fashion Fixes

You?re about to have your ?red carpet? moment when you casually glance at the effortless swish of your knee-length frock and notice the hem has fallen. Or, perhaps, you?re radiant in head-to-toe summer white, when your dinner partner splashes a bit of red wine on your blouse. We?ve all had it happen?no need to fret.

We?ve consulted a team of experts? Vanessa Wakeman, owner of Indulgence event and wedding planning, in White Plains, New York; Renee R. Klein and Zoe Schaeffer, co-owners of Presse, a high-end fashion boutique in L.A.; and Jen Goodkind and Jayne Chase, co-hosts of ?A Fashionable Life? radio show?to help you navigate even the most unexpected fashion emergencies.

Healing Heels
You?re ready to mix and mingle in your strappy stilettos and?as luck would have it?snap goes your heel. ?You don?t want to spend an evening hobbling around,? says Klein. ?Instant Krazy Glue To-Go is the answer. I always carry it with me.?

On the Spot
For treating spots and stains, Chase swears by Tide to Go sticks: ?I carry at least one in my purse at all times.? Other remedies: get rid of makeup stains with baby wipes, which also help remove lint from clothing and dirt from shoes.

If you?re fortunate enough to catch a deodorant stain before leaving the house, Schaeffer recommends steaming the garment with a traditional steamer ?or hanging it in the bathroom during a hot shower.?

A Bad Run
You can always rely on an old standby?clear nail polish. ?Paint just a dab on a stocking run, and you?ll be good through your event,? says Schaeffer. Another quick fix, says Wakeman, ?is a dash of hairspray.?

Weathered Leather
Nicked your leather bag, shoes, or belt? ?Carefully touch up the area with a matching colored Sharpie,? says Schaeffer.

Hem havoc
The beauty of a sewing kit is that it?s compact and multi-functional. Goodkind divulges, ?I always take them from the last resort I've been to,? which makes them free, too! Masking tape or duct tape can also come in handy. Grab the lighting guy/gal or musicians at the event, who usually carry tape in case it?s needed for their equipment.

Simply Strapped
Falling or snapped bra/dress/shirt straps can be a real nuisance and the easiest and most obvious answer is: ?A safety pin,? says Chase. ?Always carry small ones, which are less visible but still secure.?

Zip It
If your zipper is not ready to rise, ?a bar of soap or wax candle rubbed gently onto the problem area should help it loosen up,? advises Wakeman.

Cute as a Button
If you have a button that?s floor bound, clear nail polish will come to the rescue, again. Dab the top of the button to prevent it from falling off. Another way to keep it tight: a storage bag tie. Peel off the plastic and thread the button with the metal strip.

Better Sweater
Rub a piece of Velcro up and down the fabric to remove sweater pills. For snags, take the tip of a closed pen, push the snag back through the inside of the garment and knot it.

Ear and Now
The backing of your earring has fallen on the dance floor and it?s nowhere to be found. ?Not to worry,? says Wakeman, who?s seen this happen to more than one bride. ?Take the eraser off a pencil and push it through the stem. You?ll be good to dance the night away.?

While emergency remedies are invaluable, averting disasters is obviously the way to go. Have the soles and heels of new shoes reinforced, and always be sure to waterproof suede shoes, advises Goodkind.

Chase also advocates carrying an extra jacket, a cashmere cardigan, or a pashmina in case you need to cover up a stain (or it gets cold!). And when all else fails, she says, ?Think creatively. I once had a Ralph Lauren pink gingham dress with spaghetti straps. I had the straps taken in and the night I put on the dress, one strap broke. I didn't have needle and thread, so I took the other strap off and wore it strapless. You know what? It looked better!?

Keep-handy Crisis Kit
Here?s a list of the must-have items that you may want to keep in your purse or in a plastic bag in the trunk of your car, in case of a fashion, beauty, or comfort emergency.

Baby wipes: To remove or reduce make-up stains on clothing. They also remove lint from clothing and dirt from shoes.

Blotting papers: For unexpected greasy moments.

Clear nail polish: For a torn stocking or loose button.

Hairspray: Also good for runs in stockings.

Masking tape or duct tape: For fallen hems.

Instant Krazy Glue To-Go: A quick fix for broken heels.

Mini sewing kit with safety pins: To temporarily mend fallen hems, broken straps, or small tears.

Mini umbrella: For unexpected rain showers.

An extra pair of pantyhose: Tuck them in a small plastic zipped bag.

Pen: A closed tip can help invert sweater snags; so can a small crochet hook.

Pencil: The eraser can be used to secure post earrings.

Sharpie markers: To dab scuffed or scratched leather on shoes, purses, belts, etc?

Soap: For a stuck zipper.

Tide to Go stick: To attack stains in an instant.

Velcro: To get rid of pills on sweaters.

Vaseline: Keep a small tube handy to rub on men?s or women?s patent leather shoes, so they don?t stick together while you?re dancing.

Cover-up (cashmere sweater, jacket, or pashmina): Good to keep in a plastic bag in the trunk of your car, to hide a stain or torn fabric, or simply for warmth in an overly air-conditioned venue or on a cool evening outdoors.

Sparkle Is In The Air According To The Spring 2007 Wedding Jewelry Forecast

Although it may not feel quite like it yet, spring is in the air when it comes to the jewelry forecast and those in the know are predicting plenty of shine. With warm weather just around the corner, love is sure to follow and wedding bells will soon be ringing as June remains one of the most popular months for tying the knot. When it comes to saying ?I Do,? wedding rings may be the most celebrated jewelry of the day, but every bride knows that the accessories chosen to highlight her look will play a very important role. Cubic zirconia jewelry is one of the most popular choices for the bride who wants to add plenty of dazzle without spending a lot of dough on her special day.

If you?re planning a walk down the aisle, chandelier earrings are very trendy. Whether you choose a sleek design or a bold look, dangle earrings are ideal if your hair is being worn up. If you plan to let your hair flow, consider a stud style earring with dazzling cubic zirconia to complete your look.

As Fashion Week revealed, trends for spring 2007 are going to be bold. As a bride who prefers sterling silver, you can wear and enjoy a design that features a lot of presence. Whether sterling silver jewelry is your favorite or you find that it offers the look of white gold or platinum without the price tag, your budget will thank you. Silver and white are both expected to be largely popular in the upcoming season, which is ideal for the bride who plans to wear sterling silver with a white gown. If your gown is strapless, a bold necklace or cuff bracelet featuring cubic zirconia will be a breathtaking accent.

We all know that pearls are classic and, as such, have always been the choice of bridal jewelry. Whether your gown is white or ivory, pearls will be the perfect compliment and trends predict that pearls and diamonds will be extremely popular. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a necklace or bracelet, many are opting for faux pearls and cubic zirconia jewelry instead. When set in sterling silver, the brilliance of cubic zirconia is at its finest and is sure to combine a touch of femininity with just the right amount of trend to make every bride the classic beauty that she is.

No wedding would be complete without the rings but, when it comes to the style that you will be wearing for a lifetime, the choice is about much more than just the current trends. Many 2007 brides will be wearing rings made to replicate vintage or antique designs as history will repeat itself in the upcoming wedding season. Depending on your own personal preference, you may prefer a classic bridal set styled in a traditional design. Whatever your preference, cubic zirconia sterling silver wedding rings are sure to match your taste.

The jewelry trends noted in this article are designed for bridal wear, but can easily be incorporated into that worn by bridesmaids, wedding guests or for other formal affairs. Recent 2007 trend suggestions at Fashion Week predict smooth and bold designs with plenty of gold and silver. This means that whether you are a bride, a bridesmaid or just a woman who appreciates style, you can look forward to a season filled with plenty of bright days and just the right amount of sparkle. Every day is the perfect day to say ?I Do? to cubic zirconia jewelry set in sterling silver and, even if it?s not your wedding day, there?s plenty of reason for celebration when you can look great and save a bundle in the process.

Various Women's Sleepwear for Extreme Comfort and Utmost Sexiness

Women by nature want to look good. This is a way of showing other people that they feel good and confident about themselves. Not only are they meticulous about the clothes they wear on the outside everyday, but it also include choosing the best women's sleepwear at night.

After a hard day's work, everyone deserves a long night sleep. What better way is there to spend a good night than having to wear sleepwear that we love?

Regardless of age, women want the sexiest and the hottest undergarments available. Most women's sleepwear are soft and is made of satin, silk, or velvet. Undergarments are not just brassieres or panties; this is the usual misconception. There are also other garments such as: chemise, baby doll, bustier, camisoles, negligee, pajamas, thongs, and teddies.

A gown that fits the contours of the body is called a chemise; the fabric hugs your body in the right place so you feel sexy and comfortable.

If you want to show-off your beautiful legs, you can use a baby doll. These gowns usually fit around your bust line and flares on the hemline.

A bustier displays more cleavage; an elongated, strapless brassiere that gives your bust an extra lift. As a woman ages, the breast tissues need additional support.

Camisoles are very sexy sleeveless tops, and come with matching underwear. If you have perfectly toned arms, this is a good way to show them off.

If you want a sheer loose gown with matching panties and robe, buy a negligee. You can even wear this under a jacket.

A bodysuit in one piece is called a teddy.

If you don't want to show any panty lines, you can use a thong. It has a thin back strap, and frontal coverage.

Your outward appearance is not enough, it should start from within. Wouldn't it be more comfortable if you were aware that you're wearing a fashionable and sexy garment within? Modern women are able to project confidence and intelligence if they feel good about themselves. And they can have a lot of fun too.

Most women of today prefer luxury women's sleepwear because they feel more sexy and comfortable. You don't have to be young or old to wear these undergarments. If you try to search for the different lingerie, you can find one that best suits you.

Women's sleepwear are widely available in a variety of sizes and shapes that you can freely choose from; you can buy them from department stores, apparel shops, or you can even purchase online. There are many sites in the Internet that allows you to make purchases, you can choose from many assorted garments.

If you're planning to buy a frivolous undergarment:

-buy the right garment, make sure that it fits you nicely
-consider buying a more adventurous garment than what you already have in your closet
-choose the garment that you really want to wear; and not what others would like you to wear
-wearing a gorgeous underwear makes you feel good
-indulge, after all, you're a woman

Purchasing a luxurious undergarment is a simple treat that you can give to yourself after all of your hard work. There is no valid reason for not wearing an undergarment which you feel comfortable with, besides if you feel good from within, it does show on the outside.

Where to Put Your Tattoo Choosing the Perfect Position for Your New Tattoo

Millions of people, in recent years, have tuned into the very special art of tattooing as a way to have something of permanent meaning placed on their bodies. You?re one of them, and you think having a tattoo would be absolutely mind-blowing, but you just don?t know enough about what kind of tattoo to get, or even more importantly, which part of your body you want tattooed.

The first thing you should decide is whether you want a tattoo that can be hidden. It depends largely on your own personality. If you approach the world with an ?in-your-face? attitude, you may want a tattoo positioned so that will be visible most of the time.

On the other hand, if you are somewhat shy or just like to keep secrets, having a tattoo on a place you normally keep covered may make you feel unique, and even a little sexy.

And keep in mind that a tattoo which seems perfect to you when you are in your twenties may leave you asking ?What was I thinking?? in later years. So don?t commit to a first tattoo positioned where you will be forced to look at it every day for the rest of your life.

Think about your social life. If it calls for you to attend very many upscale events, and you are female, are you going to want your tattoo visible when you wear a strapless dress?

But even if you are aristocracy, you can still can manage a tattoo. Lady Churchill sported a wrist tattoo which she simply covered with a diamond bracelet on state occasions!

Will having a plainly visible tattoo cause friction between you and someone close? For example, would you husband or wife see your tattoo as a come-on to others? If so, put it where it will be a secret for just the two of you.

Then there?s the work situation. Will your current or potential employer be OK with you sporting a visible tattoo? Many of them aren?t.

And then there?s the problem of weight gain or loss. The odds are strong that you will not remain at the identical weight you are the day you get your tattoo. And even if you do, the human body has an unfortunate tendency to reshape itself during middle age. A tattoo which looks great on the flat stomach of your 20s may be an embarrassment when you get middle-aged spread.

The same holds if you lose weight after your tattoo is in place. Your skin may become loose; how will that affect your tattoo?

You should also consider your pain threshold when deciding where to place your tattoo. The most painful tattooing occurs on designs close to the bone, like shins, elbows, and knees. If you are someone who breaks into a clod sweat at the thought of going to the dentist, you should probably limit you choice of tattoo locations to the more padded areas of your anatomy.

But once you?ve sorted through all the tattoo positioning pitfalls, you can get some visualization help at http://www.bmezine.com. They have several pages with photographs of recently completed tattoos which will give you a much clearer picture of how you might end up looking. The photos cover everything from foot and ankle to breast and collar bone designs of every possible size and intricacy.

Where you position your tattoo says nearly as much about you as your tattoo itself. So be sure to choose a spot which will let you enjoy your tattoo for the rest of your life!

Overview Of Heart Rate Monitors




 



Overview Of Heart Rate MonitorsSubmitted By: Louise Soerensen  
















Before, when we exercise, we have to stop what we were doing and count our pulses manually. If they are way beyond our target heart rate, we decrease the intensity of our exercise. Way below target heart rate, and we increase the intensity of our exercise. Or, we can gauge our exercise level by the way we breathe and talk when we exercise. For example, if we cannot say three sentences and are gasping hard for breath when we are doing the treadmill, then that means that we are exercising more than we should have been doing in the first place. If we can still talk easily as well as breathe just as well, then we are not optimizing our exercise.


Modern Way of Monitoring Heart Rates


With the advancement of technology, we also saw a lot of improvement in terms of exercise machines as well as devices like heart rate monitors. Now, there are heart rate monitors attached to treadmills, and these monitors we can attach to our chest area to monitor our heart rates. This is a good way go gauge the intensity and level of our exercise without stopping and counting the pulse rate or assessing our breathing. Heart rate monitors are not seen on treadmills alone as they can also be found in other exercise machines like elliptical trainers as well as stationery bikes.


Kinds of Heart Rate Monitors


There are two common kinds of heart rate monitors. One is the heart rate monitor watches. As the name implies, this heart rate monitor device is attached to the wrist. You can simply attach to your chest the chest strap that comes with the device, and it will monitor your heart rate where it will then send the recording to the watch. This kind of heart rate monitors is widely used by athletes as well as those that people that exercise in the convenience of their homes since this is lighter in weight.


The other kind is the strapless kind, which is more convenient to use. In this device, you no longer have the chest strap, and you can easily monitor your heart rate by placing two fingers onto the sensors provided in the device for about 5 to 15 seconds before you will get a reading. This kind of heart rate monitors is more for the casual monitoring of heart rates.


Benefits of Using Heart Rate Monitors


There are a lot of benefits that one can get from wearing heart rate monitors when exercising:


1. They are more convenient than stopping the exercise program and manually counting the heart rate.
2. They are more accurate than manually counting your heart rate.
3. This easily helps you monitor your exercise level and increase the level and intensity accordingly until you have reached your target heart rate.
4. This will give you a signal if you are overexerting yourself and needs to slow down a bit.


Tips in Purchasing Heart Rate Monitors


Here are some tips if you want to purchase a heart rate monitor.


1. Know your purpose. If you are only going to use it at home for your aerobic exercises, then the low-end heart rate monitors are for you. If you are an athlete and need it for your training, then it is much wiser to get those with additional features.


2. There are so many brands out there to choose from, and the best way to choose among them is to read forums and reviews regarding heart rate monitors. You will get the best review from those who have tried a brand and found them helpful or not.


3. The best way to buy heart rate monitors is to buy online where you will be given a variety of designs and brands as well as functions.

Your friends are not the same people and their bridesmaid jewelry does not have to be either.

Reebok Heart Rate Monitor Should I Buy a Reebok Heart Rate Monitor?

The new age mantra is fitness and with an increasing pace to lifestyle and longer working hours ? it is but logical that there would be an increasing awareness about health ? the fact that sixty six percent of the population within the developing economies are obese could well be attributed to poor eating habits and increasingly sedentary lifestyles!

Paradigm Shift

The present day paradigm shift then is about ensuring that fitness is accorded the highest degree of focus and evidently there could scarcely be a fitness regime without a scientific temper!

The commonest cause for adopting a fitness regime is weight control and increasing the level of fitness. These dual indications are best addressed by ensuring optimal workouts within the stipulated available time frame ? and this is best optimized by a judicious use of heart rates.

The heart rates can ideally be computed by inducing the body to reach a level of physical exhaustion under Physician supervision ? which may not always be viable ? in such circumstances it would be logical to use alternative equally effective but simpler methods like ? the Heart Rate Monitors.

The conventional Heart Rate Monitor is primarily a device for computing heart rates by using a chest strap to record real time values for the heart rate and a watch or any other receiving device for receiving and displaying the information!

Reebok Heart Rate Monitor

Reebok being the last word in the realm of sports and fitness ? it is scarcely amazing then that the pick of Heart Rate Monitors are the Reebok Heart Rate Monitors!

Reebok offers a wide range of Heart Rate Monitors which could extend from the conventional and more modest Heart Rate Monitors with chest straps to the new age wonder ? Reebok Heart Rate Monitors Strapless.

As suggested by the name the Reebok Heart Rate Monitors Strapless are devices which come without the constricting and often cumbersome chest straps ? having built in electrode sensors within the watch or the receiving devices

Strapless

The Reebok Heart Rate Strapless monitor comes with a difference considering that in addition to not having cumbersome chest straps and having touch sensors in the watch which helps retrieve heart information merely at the touch of the finger tips ? it comes replete with wireless telemetry options!

The Reebok Heart Monitor comes with an explicit instruction manual which makes it but a simple task to operate!

To further elaborate the Reebok Heart Rate Strapless Monitor has a built in receiver for cardiac information ? in addition to having the ability to communicate with the home and the gym machines at any point of time!

This would create an input data to the exercising gym equipment about the heart rate ? which then spontaneously adjusts the speed, duration and intensity of the workout in alignment with the monitored heart rate at any point of time! ? Making the workout regime both safe and effective ? all this and more being contributed by the new age Reebok Heart Rate Monitors!

Wedding Lingerie Honeymoon in Paradise

There are many things to remember in preparation for your wedding day.  Of the many items you cant forget, your wedding lingerie is very important.  Getting the most out of your big day is all about taking advantage of every experience.  This includes the honeymoon.

There are many things to remember in preparation for your wedding day.  Of the many items you cant forget, your wedding lingerie is very important.  Getting the most out of your big day is all about taking advantage of every experience.  This includes the honeymoon.

Traditions create many of the reasons why we do things, especially in weddings.  Youve spent so much time selecting the right invitations and the just the right dress, so why wouldnt you do the same with your intimate apparel. 

Panties play an important role in everyday life, but a more important one under your bridal dress.  Many of the latest dress styles are more sensual and revealing than ever before.  White thong panties are the perfect answer to the panty question.  Thongs are required because there is a chance that your dress is slightly see through, and you dont want to give anything away. 

Choosing the right bra might be just as easy.  You want support, yet you dont want your wedding guests to see it.  It also has to be seductive for the alone time that follows.  There are many strapless bras that provide wonderful support, while also adding a little more in the bust.  The design choices are intricate, with lacy designs that are easily transferred to the brides chambers. 

Your stocking choice is maybe the most difficult decision to make.  There are many inexpensive options available, but they dont have the same appeal as vintage sexy stockings.  The traditional silk variety is head and shoulders above the competition.  Shiny, white legs will go a long way down the aisle and the dance floor.  Pantyhose just cant provide the appeal you are looking for in a stocking. 

Last, but not least, is the traditional wedding garter.  It is customary to give this one out to a lucky someone in the wedding party, so you dont want to spend a fortune on it.  If you want to keep one for yourself, then you can go all out.  Find something that matches your personality, and make it fun.  The removal of the garter is just as traditional as any other custom. 

Getting the most out of your wedding day shouldnt be contingent on your lingerie, but it will definitely have an impact on your memories.  Take a chance on your styles, and do it differently than all others.  Make your day more special for bride and groom with the little details that are so memorable.

Finding Maternity Swimwear By Your Body Type




 



Finding Maternity Swimwear By Your Body TypeSubmitted By: Amy Jarman  
















T here are many cuts and styles in maternity swimsuits today which can be overwhelming to a first time maternity clothes shopper. Fortunately with the range of styles today, you can find the ideal suit for your pregnancy body. As with any swimsuit, the most important factor is fit. The following is a basic guide for some suits to consider if you are looking for specific features:


Exercise Swimsuit


If you are looking for a maternity swimsuit to swim laps in the pool and to function like a sports swimsuit, one pieces are always your best bet. The Maternal America Empire Tank is a great choice for maternity sport swimsuit. This suit has all the features you need for serious lap swimming in addition to excellent bust support. If you are looking for more of a fashion suit that you can also wear for swimming, the Maternal America 1 Piece Keyhole swimsuit is a good choice. This suit comes in a beautiful turquoise pattern as well as black and brown solids.


Hip Coverage


If hip coverage is a top priority for you in a swimsuit, there are a number of styles to consider. The BabyDoll style gives maximum hip and bottom coverage while also allowing plenty of room for an expanding tummy. Prego Maternity has both the Tank and Halter BabyDoll styles to choose from which come with over the belly bottoms so there is no chance of a tummy peeking through on land or sea. The Strapless Mini is another good choice for hip and tummy coverage while providing a more form fitting body and allowing a little more skin exposure across the shoulders. Prego?s Strapless Mini comes with under the belly bottoms and a detachable halter string for swimming.


Bust Support with Style


Bust support is often an important feature in a swimsuit for expecting women who have found they are suddenly much larger on top. Generally, a tank style strap will give better support than most halter styles. The Prego Ring-Kini style is perfect for accommodating larger busted women and providing more support with wide adjustable straps. If you have a preference for Halter Styles, look for one that has a higher back as well as higher coverage across the bust. The deep cleavage halter styles provides less support. Prego?s Sweet Heart Halter style suit has cinching across the bust and fits higher in the back to provide maximum bust support for a halter.


Show a Little Belly


If you are not quite ready to bare all in bikini but would like to show a little belly, the Tankini and Halterkini styles are a good choice. Maternal America has a 2 Piece Flutter Halterkini that is slightly see through with mesh material across the belly along with a side tie bikini bottom. This flirty style also has a convertible halter tie if you want to go strapless as well. Prego?s Dot Tie Halter, Halterkini and Tankini styles all have bellow the belly bottoms which allow a little belly to peek out, depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy.


Show a lot of Belly:


The good old fashion bikini is your best choice for maximum skin exposure. Today?s maternity bikini by top maternity brands is expertly engineered to fit your pregnant body with comfort and style. BellaBumBum makes a fabulous maternity bikini with vibrant patterned stripes and superior fit. Prego Maternity also makes a beautiful classic maternity bikini with a oval cinch design in the halter top and under the belly bottoms. Maternity bikinis are usually made with more stretch to hug your curves and stretch where you need it.


Cover up


While any swimsuit is going to show a bit of skin, if you don?t want to draw attention to your growing belly at the pool or beach then invest in a light tunic cover-up. Maternal America has several styles in beautiful swimsuit cover-ups that come in white or black. These cover-ups can also be worn casually with jeans, capris or shorts.


So don?t let pregnancy keep you away from the pool or beach this summer. Find the perfect maternity swimwear that compliments your body type and have fun in the sun!

We all see the gorgeous jewelry worn by our favorite celebrities and, on occasion, designers create pieces to mimic those very designs that we admire. Traditionally, these pieces would be made with imitation gemstones that are visually similar to some of the most expensive designs in jewelry. Even if you don't have millions of dollars to spend on your jewelry wardrobe, you can still accessorize like the stars that do. Here's how:


Dress up a simple black turtleneck sweater with a pair of sterling silver dangle cubic zirconia earrings. Whether it be chandelier or an elongated drape design, the reflective nature of these simulated diamonds will add a beautiful touch to classic black. This approach works equally well with any solid color turtleneck.


When you're attending a formal gathering, whether it be a wedding, anniversary or holiday party, try accessorizing a simple strapless gown with either a cubic zirconia necklace or an earring/bracelet combo. With one of the hottest trends leading into 2008 being that of shine, it's important that jewelry lovers accent their attire appropriately instead of overpowering it.


Adopt a trademark piece of jewelry that can be worn in a number of ways. A trademark is a distinctive characteristic or object, which makes a trademark piece of jewelry one favorite accent that you would wear on a daily basis and others would come to know it as being your style. Certain pieces of jewelry are created as elegant and occasional accessories, but others are developed in such a way that they can be worn on a regular basis. A cubic zirconia tennis bracelet, for instance, can just as easily go with you to the grocery store, the office and to a fine restaurant. By choosing a piece of jewelry that you can quickly dress up or down, you are truly optimizing your investment.


If you have pierced ears, never leave home without an earring. Even if it's a simple pair of stud earrings, which can often provide the perfect accent for those who want a touch of sparkle, it's important to not leave a pierced ear without decoration. Why? It's easy enough to leave the house without a necklace, ring or bracelet, but leaving an earring hole visible can leave you feeling unpolished.


When you read a magazine or flip through the television channels featuring your favorite entertainment program, you will probably learn that celebrity fashion is all about the trends. In the year to come, we will see a lot of color in both fashion and accessories. If you're looking to add the colors of diamonds to your wardrobe but don't have a fortune to spend, consider the alternative of cubic zirconia jewelry to spruce up your collection. Blue, red, black and champagne are among the stunningly beautiful colors of cubic zirconia that will be celebrated by those who not only want to accessorize like a star, but also shine like one.

Importance of Wearing the Right Bra


Do you know a good bra of the correct fit is essential to a woman's breast? Majority of women are still unaware that they are not wearing the right bra.


Women today should be aware that wearing the wrong bra size could cause all sorts of medical problems. Some of these symptoms includes backache, shoulder pain, neck ache, tender, aching bust, soreness under bust, grooves in shoulders, and bad posture.


Because you either have too much bust or not enough. 'We are never happy with our lot.' These are just a few of the very real problems that can be put right with a good bra. There are so many women out there buying their bras assuming that their size is the same or some guesses their bra size and without trying them on or seeking expert advise. The result is usually more discomfort. The most common complaints are


1. the back riding up,
2. straps slipping off the shoulders,
3. wrinkled cups,
4. unsightly bumps and ridges.


Better fitting bras not only feel comfortable but also help your clothes to look better. A well-fitted bra is similar to a pair of well-fitting shoes. Women should re-measured regularly especially during pregnancy, following childbirth, weight loss or weight gain - as the breast size can change dramatically.


The advantages of a correct fit bra includes no more soreness under the bust, pulling the back down, lifting the shoulder swaps and popping back in what has flowed out, making four boobs.


It takes an expert eye to find the size and style that will make the very best of each woman's figure. It also required in-depth knowledge of the wide variety of bras now available. Although manufacturers use what appears to be standard sizing on their labels, every bra is in fact slightly different. This means that a particular cup size in one style may not give you the right fit with another style or manufacturer.


Measuring your bra size and bra cup of exact fit is not difficult, however most women find it unnecessary and a nuisance. This is the major mistake as a good fitted bra brings about many benefits and eliminates unnecessary aliments. The following is some information for you while taking the measurement for yourself.


Your bra size consist of two figures; your back size and your cup. You will need to take two measurements using a tape measure.


Back Size : The measurement is taken around the body directly under the bust or your breasts (over your present bra).


Especially when buying a strapless bra, the bra has to fit slightly tighter but not too tight otherwise unsightly bulges would be formed. Use the following table to find your exact bra size.


Back Measurement (cms) Bra back size
63 - 67 30
68 - 72 32
73 - 77 34
78 - 82 36
83 - 87 38
88 - 92 40



Cup size: this is determined the difference between bra back size and the measurement around the fullest part of the bust.


Calculate the difference of the 2 measurements, rounding it off to the nearest inch. Use the value to find out its corresponding cup size in the table below.


Difference Cup size
1 A
2 B
3 C
4 D
5 E
6 F


After you have obtained both values, combine the two to get your exact fit size.

A Man's Guide to Buying Lingerie for his Lady


Most men know nothing about picking out lingerie, which is understandable
because it can be confusing. What type of lingerie to buy, what size, what color
- how is a man to know? Here is a little guide to help you when choosing
lingerie for that special someone.





There are a few things to consider before you go out. What does she like?
Remember that you will not be wearing this - she will and you should go out with
the intent on getting something she will like. If she is not into lacey, tiny,
see-through teddies, chances are if you buy that, she will not be in much of a
mood to wear it and you may never see it. So keep what she likes in mind.


If you do not know, check out her nightgown/lingerie drawer before you leave.
Check for material type (cotton, silk, etc.), colors, and most importantly,
size. She may be flattered if she wears a large and you get her a small, but if
she wears a small and you buy her a large, you may find yourself in trouble.
Avoid anything that says control on the label. Those items are used to firm
and flatten tummys and rears and she would probably not appreciate receiving
them as a gift.


Another thing to remember is if the store offers to wrap the lingerie let
them. Dainty lingerie will look better in their wrapping than if you wrap it in
the paper left over from your cousin's birthday. Presentation is part of the
package with lingerie. Also, if you are uncomfortable in the store, check out
online stores that sell lingerie. You can always start at Victoria's Secret, but
most major department stores like Macys and Nordstroms also sell lingerie. Final
note - remember to keep your receipt just in case it is the wrong style, size,
or color.


Now, what type of lingerie is available? Just about anything you can think
of! Ask yourself what the occasion is. Is this to let her know you love her? If
so, something crotchless or see-through probably will not send that message.
But, if it is for Valentine's Day or your anniversary, something a little more
risqu? might be appreciated. Bras alone have
many different styles including push up, plunge, gel filled, padded, under wire,
seamless, backless, strapless, open cup, and unpadded.


If you are purchasing a bra and panty set, always check out what she has in
her drawer beforehand and definitely make note of the size - of both the bra and
panties. Most places sell at least one pair of panties that match each bra, but
some will sell several so you can mix and match. It will help to know what type
of panties she likes to wear too - thongs, briefs, or high cut bikini.


When it comes to sleepwear, it can be just as confusing. One type of
sleepwear is babydoll pajamas. They usually have very thin straps, a plunging V
neckline, and are very short with matching panties. You will find most of these
made out of silk or satin, materials that always make a woman feel good about
herself. But, if she feels her breasts are too big or too small, or thinks her
stomach is too big, you might want to avoid babydoll pajamas.


There are slips and chemises. Similar to the babydoll pajamas, these are a
little longer and a little better at concealing problem areas such as breasts,
butt or stomach. They too are usually made of silk or satin.


Gowns are full-length versions of the babydoll. Many are see-through or lacey
and can help put your woman in the mood. Babydolls, slips, chemises, and gowns
may also come with a robe.


A pajama set might not sound too sexy, but if it is silky, and buttons up the
front, it can make your woman feel very sexy, especially if she is a plus size
(size 18 or larger). Boxer sets have become very popular lately. The tops are
tight, with thin straps and usually a V neckline, although there are boxer sets
with normal t-shirt tops.


If you are really looking for lingerie to spice up your love life, take a
look at Frederick's of Hollywood (available online). They have been selling sexy
lingerie for over 50 years. They have a wide variety of garter belts, bustiers,
corsets, teddies (similar to the babydoll, but one piece), crotchless panties,
and fishnet stockings - items that may not be available at many stores that sell
lingerie.


What type of lingerie you should get your love depends a lot on her
self-esteem. Many big woman love sexy little teddies, but some will shy away
from them, for fear of exposing too much of themselves. Most stores sell
lingerie in plus sizes, which are a little less revealing. If she is really
athletic, a boxer set might be something she would like. Thin women will look
good in anything, but especially teddies, corsets, and babydolls.


When shopping for lingerie, try to keep in mind what she likes. If you
purchase something similar to the lingerie she already has and in colors you
know she likes, it will probably make her happy. But, keep the receipt just in
case!

Styles Of Intimate Apparel




 



Styles Of Intimate ApparelSubmitted By: James Brown   
















The fashion industry did not leave anything out when it comes to designing fashions for intimate apparel. Women can select designer fashions that are brief on the shoulder areas or enhanced with lingerie that makes blouses optional. Women can choose designer fashions in intimate clothing that will liberate some women into changing lifestyles even if just for a night. The styles of lingerie available today provide women with lifestyle options that are glorious in many ways.


A woman will feel more attractive while wearing intimate apparel under clothing, and more daring when she chooses to wear it as a blouse. Intimate items such as corsets can be used to entice romantic notions when lace is seen peaking out from the tops of strapless shirts, especially if the choices worn are in daring colors of turquoise, red, or midnight black. Women can soften their moods when donning corsets colored in pink or cool blue.


Some intimate apparel styles are chosen based on their support structures. Women wear intimate items such as bras while performing a variety of sports activities. Some are made of restrictive materials that alleviate soreness from exercise programs that require a lot of bouncing and calisthenics. Some women prefer sports bras over regular styles simply because the materials are softer and wearers do not have to worry about wearing uncomfortable wires for hours spent at work or during activities of pleasure and relaxation.


Women might prefer the support features offered with under wire bras over those that increase the bust size. Amply endowed women find under wire options in intimate apparel to be more liberating due to the front closures included in many intimate clothing models. Some bra construction methods work better than others because fashion designs often leave back areas open and women need support that gives them the option of crossing straps when they need to.


The stylish choices in intimate apparel fashions extend to a wide variety of underwear. Women can select from high-rise briefs to panties that are fashionably styled to be very brief. Some women often prefer intimate apparel choices to be almost nil in the panty category. These women will certainly enjoy the color choices available for thongs that they see during an intimate apparel sales event. Younger adults will prefer lingerie selections for panties to compliment a bikini line. Perhaps these brief intimate apparel fashions are readying them for summertime.


There are stylish intimate apparel selections for the legs and the feet. Women can buy hosiery with panties built-in, or go a more alluring route by selecting hosiery that needs the support of garters and garter belts to stay up while worn. A woman can show her creativity and individual style by the number of stylish intimate apparel selections that are in her sock drawer. Women can wear hosiery that matches skin tones perfectly or be shamefully decadent by purchasing hosiery like resembles fishnet, or go one step further by wearing stockings etched with little hearts, that match the intimate apparel underwear they have on.

Wear it Up or Wear it Down?


Isn't this the question that everyone with a formal occasion wants to know about their hairstyle for the big night? While it may seem like a trivial question to most, how you wear your hair can make a big difference on your overall formal appearance. Choosing the wrong hairstyle to wear with a certain dress can make you look too over the top or make you look like you didn't pay as much attention to your hair as you should.


When it comes to choosing a formal hairstyle, the most important thing to consider is the dress that you are wearing. Take into account the cut of the dress. Is it long, cropped, off the shoulder? Or does is have plumes of fabric on the shoulders or lace around the neck? All of these are important factors when it comes to deciding whether you want to wear your hair up or leave it down.


Here are just a few basic rules of thumb to help you decide:


? Off the shoulder or strapless dresses - These types of dresses show a lot of skin on the neck and shoulders. While it may be the tendency of some to sweep the hair up and off of the neck, doing so can make your neck look too long and thin and can detract the eye from the graceful curve of your neck and soft shoulders. I'm not saying that you can't wear your hair up with this kind of dress, but if you do, choose a style that leaves a little hair hanging softly down on the neck and shoulders. This will help soften your look and direct the eye to wear it should go. It will also balance your complete look.
? Full-shouldered dresses - These dresses are the ones with the full, intricate or puffy sleeves. With this type of dress, you almost always have to wear your hair up. Leaving it down, only makes your whole style look much too busy. You should also choose a simple updo over an intricate one so that you do not end up looking like you've tried too hard. If you want the focal point to be your dress, try a simple French twist.
? Classic cut, simple gowns - These are the gowns that will really allow you to get creative with your do. You can choose just about anything. You can wear your hair up or down and style it with intricate weaving and braids or leave it simple.


So, the next time you're battling with formal hair decisions, let your dress be your guide. Doing so will allow you to create a complete look that is complimentary rather than over the top.

Are you an October November December or January bride?


Winter months are a great time of year to get married. The nights are drawing in and everywhere starts to feel really cosy.


October brides can still get away with light and often strapless dresses as October days can still be quite warm. Equally, if you marry before the end of the month, you will still officially be in the 'summer'! If it gets cool in the evening you could wear a light stole or pashmina to keep yourself cosy. In terms of colours, you may be inspired by Autumnal tones of orange, golds and browns. Aubergine and purple colours also look fantastic at this time of year. Although most Octobers are warm, watch out for the odd rain shower; invest in a cute bridal umbrella just in case!


November brides are guaranteed to be fiery ladies and there is no excuse for not ending your evening celebrations with a fabulous fireworks display. Depending on the time of day you are marrying, the air is much cooler in November and it really starts to feel quite wintry. Therefore, best to go for a warmer bridal gown, or one that at least has a matching bolero or shrug that you can take off indoors. Unless you are blessed with naturally dark toned skin, skin can look paler and wintry by the time November comes as holiday tans have long gone. On this basis, keeping shoulders covered is no bad thing, especially in an unheated church! This time of year is generally associated with wintry nights and fireworks so play on this with your reception d?cor. Why not give guests sparklers and light your reception tables with pretty candles?


December brides will always have a fabulous wedding as the promise of Christmas is just around the corner. Touches of deep red are bound to make an appearance on bridesmaid gowns, floral arrangements and table d?cor. There is a great deal of choice when it comes to winter gowns; check out the bridal stores for sumptuous rich and heavy fabrics. You will feel every inch the Christmas princess in an opulent winter gown. Some brides even go for velvet cloaks to travel in and out of the church and reception venue. This may sound like a corny idea, but if you pick one in a deep red, you will look nothing short of sensational! Why not give Christmas crackers to wedding guests and have mini decorated Christmas trees on reception tables?


January brides are full of excitement as are their guests. January can often be a flat time of the year and by having a wonderful wedding to celebrate, this really lifts the mood. The only downside is that you can't afford to indulge too much over the Christmas period otherwise you won't get into your dress! Talking of dresses, a plush, rich fabric would be ideal. Anything goes in terms of bridesmaid colours although stay away from colours that are too spring-like as January is a bit early for lighter dresses. Plums, Reds, Golds, Deep Pinks, Orange or Sage Green would be far better choices for this time of year.


Whichever winter month you choose to wed, it is a warm, cosy and romantic time of the year to tie the knot.
