Trend of the Day - Skater Dresses

Beautiful silhouettes with flirtatious hemlines and whimsical fabrics are Skater dresses which trace back their origin to the dresses wore by ice skaters as dance costumes.

In 2013, every designer house from Stella Mc Cartney to John Galliano, Louis Vuitton to Christian Dior, all have made huge impressions with different variations for the  Spring Summer ’13 collection. The dress has a trademark cut and comes in fitted at the waistline and then skims over the hips and thighs in the way of a full circle skirt. The only prerequisite to wearing it is great legs.

 

The reason the skater dress has remained so popular is because it is a flattering and easy-to-wear style for just about any body shapes. You can team it with a pair of flats or heels for summers and layer it up with a blazer or a cardigan along with a pair of tights if the weather is cold. Since the design is quite modest it can be worn for a number of occasions including work, social events and parties. There are lots of patterns and colours to choose from and the dress can be easily accessorised with a belt and handbag. Accessorize to your liking. 

 
Bonus fashion point: Just make sure to get the right dress size for your body, nothing too loose or too tight. For those who are blessed with wider hips, the twirly skirt cut may accentuate the size of your posterior to the point that it may not be too flattering. So to avoid this, please give the dress a try and a twirl before purchasing.

For hourglass-shaped gals, you’d be a fan for life as the skater dress will hug you gently around your curves making you look ultra feminine. .

Denim Jeans : Stretching That Little Bit Further

Denim has a long and fascinating history. Named after the French town Nîmes – de
Nîmes, literally meaning ‘from Nîmes’, was soon shortened to denim – it went on to
play a big part in the history of the USA. From the 18th century onwards, cowboys
and pioneers favoured denim for its tough and durable qualities. Then, in the mid
20th century, denim exploded out of its role as tough, working man’s clothing to
become the world’s number one fashion accessory. Today, jeans are worn in every
country in the world, in countless styles, colours and sizes.

The best fit ever

One particular event in the history of denim stands out more than any other: the
invention of stretch denim. We’re sure that all the ladies reading this will agree that
stretch denim is surely one of the greatest inventions of all time. Never mind the
wheel – the ability to be able to get into a pair of jeans and know they’re going to fit
perfectly is surely mankind’s greatest achievement. We’re all very happy that Neil
Armstrong made it to the moon, but that big white space suit was nothing compared
to how flattering a pair of stretch jeans could have been. If only he’d known!

If you’ve never tried stretch denim before, then you really should give it a go. Geta pair of Firetrap Skylar stretch jeans, available in four denim washes, and see for
yourself how good it can be.

Are those handmade?

That’s not to say that regular denim isn’t great. But it can lose its shape after a
few wears. And once your jeans have been washed, they can be almost impossible
to get back on. None of this is an issue when your jeans simply stretch to fit your
shape. Whatever style or cut you prefer, stretch denim can look great. From flares to
skinny jeans, the stretch around the thigh and knee makes it look like the jeans were
tailored perfectly for your body. It also means that if you’re sitting down you have
greater freedom of movement, which is something that tougher, regular denim can
restrict.

So, here’s to denim and its incredible history. But let’s never forget how a little bit of
a stretch has made it even better.

Trend Alert : Pant Suits, For Both Summer & Winter 2012

They are smart, simple, adjustable, comfy and go anywhere. They go well to parties, dinner or dancing as well as work, meetings or lunch. They don’t define the wearer, but the style can help define the event they are worn to.

 Femininity shines through the fine lines and simple tailoring. To create the main image of a strong women a solidly cut suit is needed. It should be moderately strong, but at the same time beautiful and stylish for work related events in pastel colors.

Already there has been an influx of brights and pastels on the pants suit this season, but as the weather hots up its time to brace ourselves for the awesomeness of the printed pantsuit. Floral prints, sequins and paisley are all part of this new flattering suit craze. Not only do we have to negotiate the right print for our pants, there’s now the added trauma of pairing it with a matching jacket.

Think big and bold prints in tropical hues with tailored jackets that make the look head-to-toe botanical gardens. For fall, keep a look out for more geometric and arty graphics in jewel tones with less structure in the jacket.

This lightweight cloth lets air pass through for coolness and comfort. Jacket features a front zipper, stand collar, stretch cuffs, two zippered front welt pockets, and elastic draw cords with toggles to adjust the hemline.

Things To Take Care After Laser Hair Removal

New and better techniques for hair removal are constantly being developed. Some have been successful, while others have done their jobs less effectively. The success associated with hair removal is still a matter of debate. This debate centres around the fact whether hair removal offers a permanent solution for hair removal and more importantly whether it is safe or not. There are a few things that you must take care of before and after laser hair removal, to get the maximum benefit out of the procedure.

What is laser hair removal?

As the name suggests, laser hair removal is a process of epilation that uses a laser beam to destroy the hair follicle. A laser device emits a beam of light, which is absorbed by the hair follicle. It is the presence of melanin that helps the follicle to absorb this beam of light. In doing so, the follicle is destroyed and permanent hair reduction takes place. A person needs to go through various sessions of laser hair removal in order for this procedure to be successful.

After laser hair removing - Things to take care

Post treatment care is very important. Here are some things that you must consider after the end of the treatment:

- Redness of the skin is a common side effect of laser. Bumps might also appear after treatment. This is normal, and the situation takes care of itself in just a few hours. You can also use a cold compress on the area if needed.

- Liberal use of a moisturizer on the treated area will help the skin remain hydrated. This helps prevent drying of the skin and associated problems with the skin. It's advisable to not use anti bacterial creams, as they might accelerate the drying of the skin.

- A sunscreen lotion or cream should be used for a week post treatment. Preferably a sun block with SPF 25 should be used.

- When you have just undergone laser treatment, stay away from waxing, plucking, tweezing, or bleaching of the area. After a certain period of time, it's advisable to shave.

- For a period of around 3 weeks after treatment, the hair will continue to shed. You might be fooled into thinking that it is new hair growth. A washcloth can be used to help ease the removal of such hair.

- Laser will be even more effective if you don't expose the treated area to sunlight for some time. If you don't take such care, there is a chance that your laser treatment won't be as safe and successful.

Ask the expert for more information on the things to care pre and post laser hair removing. This will help make the treatment even more effective.

Permanent Hair Removal - Which is the safest method?

Permanent hair removal treatment - it's a dream come true. There would be very few women who would prefer to remain hairy. The fact is that most women want to have soft and beautiful skin and this is why you spend so much time and money in beauty salons. But again, after all the pain, the time consumed, and the money spent, you only get a temporary respite and by the next night you are again worrying about all the hair that is growing back.

It is time to put a stop to this. With technology growing to such extent and newer procedures available for our benefit, we need to make use of them. Permanent hair removal using laser techniques is an option that has been around for quite some time. Well, is it beneficial?
There are several kinds of treatments in this genre and the most popular ones are IPL and VPL. The general misconception regarding this is that IPL and VPL are actually laser based. But the answer is a complete no because these are light therapies.
Comparing Your Options For Removing Unwanted Hair
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses the concept of applying different wavelengths of light to your skin and thus targeting the hair follicles making them dead and avoiding further growth.
Another treatment is VPL (Variable Pulsed Light) which is much better than anything else that is available today. This produces shorter pulses of light to the target area. What it essentially does is to heat the area of impact and make it hotter than the surrounding areas. This way that area on which the light is targeted loses all its hair as it completely kills it. In about a week's time you will notice the hair falling out.
Going ahead with a laser treatment is not the best option that you can choose because there are so many things that you will need to consider. There are the side effects because this is laser light and concentrated as well. If not performed in the right manner, you will suffer more than you did before.
The best option would be to choose between IPL and VPL. Being light therapies you can at least be confident that this will not affect your skin in any manner. VPL is ultimately the best permanent hair removal solution as it provides you with the right concentration of energy on your skin, keeping it soft and with no irritations.
Be Confident About Great Results From VPL Hair Removal
You don't want to visit the salon every month to get rid of all the hair, pay them money, and bear all the pain as well. VPL is a completely painless solution that will bring out the best results in your body. Your choice of VPL as a permanent hair removal solution can be done with utmost confidence.
One last bit of advice - make sure that the salon you are going to for treatment is certified and approved. Increase your self-confidence and the way you look at things in life. With no pain, there is maximum gain here. So go ahead and make use of this opportunity and say good-bye to unwanted hair.

Get That Radiant Skin In Summers Too !!

It is possible to achieve a beautiful and radiant skin that glows with health by following a regular facial skincare regimen in summers too. Just follow some simple steps.

Cleanse - Begin by washing away the oil on the surface and impurities clogged deep within the pores. The best products to use are those containing fruit acids with natural antiseptic properties, such as lemon and grapefruit. Dry skin needs an astringent that must cleanse and soften at the same time; while oily skin requires one that removes excess oil and refines the pores. Meanwhile, a cleanser for normal skin may contain a gentle exfoliating ingredient.

Tone - To remove residual dirt, oil and cleanser - and even stubborn makeup, use a toner. Consider a label whose properties match the skin type: hydrating action for dry skin, balancing action for normal skin, and sebum-controlling and disinfecting action for oily skin. A variety of plant extracts and natural oils can help achieve these goals.

Moisturize - To keep the skin smooth and supple, apply a moisturizer with a luxurious blend that can bring back the skin's delicate moisture, while promoting cell renewal. Marine extracts and antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Beta Glucan and Retinol are perfect for these tasks.

Other than this apply some natural facemasks from time to time to rejuvenate your facial skin and also go for good facial hair removal therapy as and when required. Along with this take in at least eight glasses of water a day. And in the morning, put on sunscreen to protect the skin from the harmful sunrays.

Hair Removal For Men - Laser Is The Way

Hair removal is growing in popularity with men too as the metrosexual man is more aware of his grooming needs and wants to do everything to look good and feel good. Laser hair removal offers options other removal methods simply cannot. Laser hair removal, unlike most other hair removal methods, can be used to thin hair instead of removing it all. So, a man can choose to be less hairy without having to be hairless. Waxing, shaving, and depilatory creams remove the hair completely, and do not offer the option of thinning overgrowth.

Laser Hair Removal Method

A laser hair removal procedure does not guarantee the hair will be permanently removed, but it significantly slows hair growth. A dermatologist or cosmetic surgery specialist will perform the procedure in his office. During the procedure, a laser beam passes through the skin into the hair follicle. The heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, preventing or slowing hair growth. The intensity of the laser must be adjusted for each individual client, and the procedure can result in mild to moderate pain or discomfort.

Laser hair removal works best on men with light skin and dark hair because the laser targets pigment. Darker hair pigments are easier for the laser destroy, while the light skin around the dark hair remains undamaged. Men with darker skin tones may still have success with laser hair removal if the hair is dark, but they may require additional treatments.

Since the laser can only target hair at the follicle in its growth cycle, do not pluck, wax or have electrolysis treatments for a few weeks prior to having laser hair removal treatment. Individual hairs have different growth cycles, so repeated treatments are necessary to catch the hair in an active growth phase. Shaving is often recommended before a laser hair removal procedure, and can possibly increase success. Tanned or sunburned skin cannot be treated with lasers. Do not use lotions or after-shave on the day of treatment, and only use numbing cream as provided or recommended by the dermatologist or technologist performing the procedure.

So all the men out there go the laser way and just not look good but feel good too !!

Skincare Tips For A Radiant Skin In Summers

Summer is finally here. And time to be extra cautious about your skin. Protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun, along with that keeping your skin looking radiant requires a good daily skin care regime. One of the simplest and the most important tip is to drink lots of water along with some others, which are as follows -

1. Moisturize : Hydrating your skin should be the most important part of your daily skin care in the summer season. By sweating you lose most of your body salts, so your skin needs more water. Go for a good water based moisturizer and use it daily.

2. Exfoliate : Don’t think that in summers, exfoliation is not important. Rather it is. Your body sheds skin cells at an amazing rate every minute of every day and make your skin look dull and dry. Using a good scrub, exfoliate at night rather than in the morning.

3. Sunscreen : Whenever you are going out in the sun, do not forget to apply sunscreen generously to all the exposed parts thus blocking both UVA and UVB harmful rays. The best time is to apply a sunscreen is about half an hour before going in the sun.

4. Shave : Winter is all about wearing layers but summers is all about showing off. So get rid of all those unwanted hair using some good hair removal technique, even a good razor will do. And do use a shaving lotion that will help moisturize your skin.

Just follow these simple tips and get a glowing skin in summers too !!

Minimalistic Yet Bold Is The Key For The Hot Summers

Seasons change. And with them fashion also changes. What may be popular and trendy to wear in the winter, may not cut it in the summer. So make sure that you follow the trends.

Jewellery for summer is all about color. It is a time when you can be minimalistic yet bold making a statement with your jewellery. With the beautiful sundress, strands of chunky resin beads around will look great and if you want to show off your arms in a strapless dress or a tube top then lots of colored bangles will make you look chic. For summer parties choose one key piece and work that piece alone with a sexy dress be it chandelier earrings or an elegant diamond necklace.

If you want to get a eclectic natural look then go for jewellery in natural stones and Swarovski crystals. Big cocktail rings will also be a hit. For a light summery look in the day time do try natural materials like wooden beads, leather bracelets, rubber bangles. The chunky look is the highlight. 

Just remember to look elegant and classy !!

Gift Your Girl Some Beautiful Jewelry Which She Will Cherish !!

Writing for men and women is something I usually do. But this time taking a break I have started on exploring the fashion market for kids. And I discovered that fashion for children is an emerging niche market that the world is starting to take notice of. In that children's jewellery is an important segment which has undergone a lot of changes in the recent times.

Presents for childrens jewellery mark special occasions like christening ceremonies, birthdays or other events. Market is flooded with variety of materials and designs. But there are some important considerations when buying children's jewelry and these should be weighed carefully like when you are buying jewelry for a toddler you should take care about the material as they have a habit of putting everything into thier mouths.

Also its important to choose jewelry that will survive the rigors of a child or teen’s life because usually people love to pass on those children jewelry pieces to thier generations. And the very fragile pieces may not hold up well when worn while kids are engaged in normal play. This might also suggest avoiding gemstones that are fairly soft because they may crack or break when kids are being active.

The Molly Brown Collection is one such designer range of jewellery especially for girls, created using precious metals, gemstones sourced for their colour and clarity and pearls chosen for their lustre. Each piece of jewellery is instantly recognisable through the Molly Brown Sterling Silver logo tag.

If you want to gift then all Molly Brown jewellery is gift wrapped in sumptuous brand packaging which has been beautifully designed to reflect the core values of a Molly Brown gift – quality, something to treasure and

a special keepsake.

Elegant Sandals For The Stylish Girls

In this fashion oriented world, when women are so conscious about what they wear, their small girls can never be far behind. They know what they want to wear and with what matching accessories so that they may make a fashion statement. Take example of Suri Cruise, the cute and chic daughter of Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes who is already making news by her stylish fashion ways. Be it her dresses or collection of sandals.

























So, don’t let your girl be behind too. For the coming summers do not forget to buy mini wedges, small heels, flowery flip flops, metallic girls sandals or sporty shoes in order to go with their every outfit.

Most girls choose to pair the shoes with a cute dress and pants. Crocs to go with the casual.But never has there been a more versatile shoe than the ballet flat for young girls, as it can bring a level of elegance and also allow the child to become a child, with the versatility required for the girl to run, jump and play – with the flat shoe.


The year 2010 is all about bling and being classy. There are lots of embellishments, beads and other types of sparkles and baubles which will make the girl sandals look cute and elegant.
