Finally, jewelry is essential in every outfit especially in formal occasions. If you’re thinking of what new jewelry to buy for this year let me give you a little piece of advice. The necklace is the most important part because it accentuates your total outfit. In most red carpet events, women wearing long gowns are jeweled with dazzling yet elegant diamond necklace. Since diamond is way too expensive let’s settle for something affordable yet chic.
Gold chain necklaces and swarovsky are still in depending on which pendants you would choose. Pearls are the safest and easiest to find, along with the crystals and other precious gems. Pearls are classic beauty, formal and elegant. Amethyst and turquoise jewelry are always hit and if you’re thinking of nice buy, they always top the list. On the other hand, fancy accessories are also hip especially in casual and daily outfit. I can see no reason why someone would over spent for that matter.

I got a wedding to attend this weekend and I’m kind of confused of what hairstyle to make. Good thing I was able to do some research on how to match your outfit with your hairstyle and this is what I found. First thing that we should bear in mind is that opposite attracts. In any given occasion, if you’re wearing something formal or classy better have an updo or a simple ponytail to match your outfit. This style always brings out elegance and class; you don’t really need to have French twist just to look formal.
In case of going out on a date, just be yourself. Being natural means the real you, simply no pretensions so better have your hair just like in your normal day. But then again if it’s a formal date you can have an updo or something. Don’t forget to do the match up and enjoy a beautiful girl’s night out!

Just before making a hairstyle research I was able to run into something interesting about beauty and makeup products. Have you heard about the Leaping Bunny Logo? This is an organization created to promote consumer awareness regarding which cosmetic companies are using animals to test their products. The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics made the Leaping Bunny Logo as the standard on which companies make shopping for animal-friendly products trustworthy.
Some of the known companies who are cruelty- free are Marks and Spencer, The Body Shop and Victoria Secrets. Even Clinique has not joined the coalition yet and so as Revlon. Other multinational companies like Uniliver and L’oreal also test their products on animals. I’m not really a vegan, but I think we should do something to help at least lessen this kind of animal cruelty. I’m guilty because I use Ponds sometimes and some bathroom products from Uniliver. Maybe, this is the right time to check for the leaping bunny.

So much about cosmetics, it’s time to look for some fashion trends 2010. If last year we had a lot of gladiator shoes and biker’s vest this time let’s have the softer side of ruffles. Yup, ruffles, I just love ‘em. Actually ruffled tops are always neat and chic. These sheer blouses are worth buying because they’re easy to match with any outfits. You can match them with leather mini-skirts which are also sure to make a comeback just like the sexy short shorts.
Knee high boots or knee high socks, aside from Rachel of Glee, this year we’ll be seeing them not really in the runways but most of the time along the streets. Of course not just by wearing sexy we can look sexy. The famous men’s wears are also in nowadays. There’s the boyfriend’s jacket, the military jacket and the cargo pants and boots. Isn’t it amazing how designers transform these men’s wears to something more feminine?

When it comes to fashion shows, I guess I don’t really know much. Aside from the annual Victoria Secrets fashion show and some runways on TV, I think that’s all I know. I’ve seen some live fashion shows as well but looking at those skinny long legged creatures sometimes gives me the creeps. This is the one of the reasons why some women would literally die for. Anyway, it’s not that I want to sound pessimist but we know what’s good for us.
Having that figure could be an ultimate goal for us to stay fit and fab but let’s not forget that these people have their own professional stylists and health trainers. Looking fabulous in seven weeks after giving birth means Heidi Klum not anybody else. So my tip, stay away from unhealthy food and late night eating. Walk at least 10 to 30 minutes or exercise every day. Work out if you can, be fit not because you wanted to look like a model but it’s your health at stake.

Bags have been one of the perpetrators to a woman’s paycheck depletion. I’m a woman and I must admit I’m an accessory to the crime. I may not have bought expensive and authentic Louis Vuitton but heaven forbids the knockoffs are just as perfect! They’re everywhere, Prada, Burberry, Gucci, Fendi with all the works. These replica handbags are surely worth buying, I mean as for a normal salaried woman living form paycheck to paycheck like myself.
Unlike the very poor and cheap imitations of designer items, these knockoffs are better, (if you know the websites to find them). Replica bags are getting famous all over the world for those women who want to look fashionable and cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars for a single bag. I can’t blame them. They look exactly the same, well of course not 100% percent but they’re just as good. I’ve given my sister one and she’s already delighted so I might as well patronize them.

When it comes to buying dresses, there are so many options to choose from. First, there’s the internet where you can place numerous orders for lower prices. However, the catch is proper fitting. Since you’re ordering online you can never be sure if it fits exactly to your curves. Another practical idea is by going to bazaar’s and night market. They offer great range of products that are less expensive but fashionable in some ways.
You would be surprised to find out that they also carry those items that you can find in some shopping malls yet in lower price. You have no problem with the actual size because built in dressing rooms are also provided. You can also have your clothes tailored made. If you know an expert dressmaker like my high school friend who had an expert mom, it may come handy. Lastly, if you have the means to afford designer clothes you might as well buy them. There’s nothing wrong exchanging your money for something elegant and worth treasuring.

I have a wedding to attend this weekend and I’m not quite decided on which outfit to wear. Wedding fashion can be exciting yet there are lots of do’s and don’ts to remember. Like it’s not appropriate to wear a white gown in respect for the bride. You can never be too sexy or showy with your outfit because it’s not just a party.
Cocktail dresses and gowns have to match if it’s an evening or night occasion so on and so forth. Anyway, I might just settle for a simple and short red dress that I have purchased instead of the black one. It’s more appropriate since the ceremony is in the afternoon. If it’s the evening, my simple short black dress can be more appropriate. Finally it’s never out of the rule to wear something like similar to the color of the bridesmaid or parents. Simple accessories may do but don’t wear sequins at daytime please.

For those planning to tie the knot this year and in the next to come, don’t underestimate the power of wedding planners. They may sound like an extra burden to finances but their contributions are over estimated. You wouldn’t want your wedding planning complicated, difficult and unorganized because the stress level equivalent to it may be too much for you to shoulder. Aside from all these stuff, you also need not to forget about the wedding jitters which are definitely to come right before your big occasion.
Anyway your wedding planner may not have all the answers but he/she has the necessary connection and knowledge on what’s essential and what’s not really needed in the event. Just a heads up, don’t go for extras in the wedding, they can cost you an arm and a leg. Go for the necessities and coordinate with your wedding planner on how to get them accurately and efficiently.
