Posted in Finery November 19th, 2008

Believe it or not one of the most popular hairstyles for summer of 2006 for men is being bald. That does not seem like a trendy hair style I know, however it really is because if you’re not bald you have to get bald and that means you have to cut off all your hair to be trendy you see? So you need some professional to cut it right.

It is important to cut off all your hair properly you need to go to hairstylist to do it to insure that they do an excellent job otherwise you’ll look like a porcupine in a few weeks. You can ask any U.S. Marine Corps soldier in Iraq and they will tell you having a short haircut is vital to survival because it is so hot in the summertime in the Middle East. However many of them choose to go bald, but when you do this you get little prickleys all over your scalp, not only does look silly but it feels weird and it itches something silly. This is why you need to learn about how to go bald right.

For women one of the most popular hairstyles this summer is the hurricane look. One would certainly think with all the devastation and destruction being caused by the tropical Atlantic hurricane seasons in the last few years that the hurricane look would be the last thing that you would want, however the windblown hair look and slightly messed up hairstyles that move back and forth and always seems to be out of place no matter what you do is actually in place at all times because it is the hurricane look you know? I hope you’ll consider all this in 2006 and good luck in your career and in meeting the opposite sex with your most popular hairstyles this summer.

Types of Necktie Knots
Posted in Finery November 18th, 2008

A well-tied neck tie is the first serious step in life - so said Oscar Wilde. Indeed, the neck tie which began as a military custom is now an indispensable part of the modern man’s attire. Here are some of the popular knot styles:

FOUR IN HAND
The most popular, and well known to school boys. It fits on all occasions and is the easiest to tie. The knot should fit well under the collar and not get hidden. The wider part should be twice as large as the thinner end when you begin to tie the knot.

DOUBLE SIMPLE
This is also quick and easy, and the method is the same as four in hand. An extra loop is performed and the broader end slipped through it. Good for thin ties and for shorter men.

WINDSOR KNOT
One of the most popular knots, it derives its name from the Duke of Windsor. The knot is big and occupies good volume. Meant for big collars. The knot making process is a bit complicated and the final knot must have good symmetry.

HALF WINDSOR
It is a thinner knot, and looks good on straight and parallel ties. The knot making process is like the Windsor knot except that the second loop is not performed.

SMALL KNOT
Meant for thinner fabrics like silk. The final knot is small, and fits well with the collars. A very easy knot to tie, somewhat similar to four in hand.

Fashion Statements: The Case for Hosiery
Posted in Finery November 14th, 2008

If you’re one of the millions of American women who has her last pair of pantyhose tucked in the back of her dresser drawer and who has dismissed hosiery as shackles of the past, it’s time to think again. We should take a page out of the playbooks of our sisters in Europe and Asia, who embrace hosiery as a wardrobe essential.

If you haven’t noticed, fashion hosiery is more than the ultra-sheer nylons, control-top hosiery, or knee-highs from years past. Today, fashion pantyhose do more than complement an outfit - they can make the outfit. From retro multi-color stripe pattern hosiery to opaque tights with a front see-through leaf pattern, today’s hosiery makes a fashion statement all on its own. The variety of patterns and colors is endless, allowing you to change the look and tone of an outfit in a snap.

And let’s face it, ladies…. Socks just aren’t sexy, and bare feet in pumps don’t cut it in the boardroom. If you can’t remember the last time you felt sensual and sexy, it’s time to invest in some great hosiery. Not only are there countless colors and patterns from which to choose, but there is also an abundance of styles available. If pantyhose simply don’t cut it in your book, try traditional stockings. Even if no one else ever sees them, your garters will make you feel and act differently. Thigh-highs are another option for those who don’t like the restrictive feel of pantyhose, while toeless hosiery works for those who want to dress up sandals or open-toed slingbacks. And, low-waist pantyhose go perfectly with low-waist slacks or jeans.

Although we sometimes loathe admitting it, hosiery is a basic foundation garment. Control-top pantyhose can give you the sleek line you seek when wearing a closefitting skirt, dress, or pair of pants. Even plain knee-highs can give your foot and ankle a supple appearance, while colored and patterned knee-highs can add a little sizzle to your outfit.

Hosiery already represents a fashion trend in Europe. It’s time to bring that trend Stateside and embrace it. Just as a designer handbag or a great pair of earrings accessorizes an outfit while making a statement about your personality, so too does designer hosiery. It can give you wardrobe options you never knew you had, and can give you a sense of fun, joy, and sexiness. When you start wearing great hosiery, you’ll not only stand out from the crowd, but you may also become a trendsetter!

How to Seduce a Man with Your Scent
Posted in Finery November 14th, 2008

Creating a Seduction Scent

“She left her scent all over the room
So even in the dark I’d see”
- Snowball in El Paso (Trace Adkins)

Choose a perfume or cologne that works well for you and stick with
it. Your goal is to have a scent so familiar that your man would
be able to pick you out in a crowded room with his eyes closed.
An added benefit is that anytime he encounters another
woman wearing your scent, he’ll immediately think of you.

The art of seducing anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Choose your scent carefully. Maybe your favorite perfume isn’t
really the right one for you. T

The secret to choosing the right scent lies in
understanding how your body chemistry interacts with
the scented oils that are used to make perfume.

Your body chemistry has a profound affect on how a perfume smells. That’s why a scent that’s perfect for one woman may be a total flop for another.

Believe it or not, your diet, medications that you are taking and
how dry or oily your skin is also affects the scent.

As a rule, women who have fair skin
and light hair tend to have the driest skin and should wear
stronger fragrances that will not be absorbed
as quickly.

As the hair color and skin tone gets darker, the
perfume should get progressively lighter.

Realize that your perfume is in competition with other products
that you use. For best results, try to choose a brand that also
offers skin and body lotion in the same fragrance, or use products with a neutral fragrance.

That way you will not confuse
his senses with a collision of different scents.
Choose an unscented deodorant as well as shampoo and conditioner that are lightly scented with a fragrance that does not compete with your perfume.

Perfume works best when it is used sparingly and applied to your body’s pulse points including your wrists, behind your ears, in the bend of your elbow, behind your knees and on the inside of your ankles.

Always apply your perfume before getting dressed so you don’t end up with perfume stains on your clothing.

Wear your perfume whenever you plan to see your man. He needs to have your scent imprinted in his mind.

Dress Well with a Tight Budget
Posted in Finery November 12th, 2008

Do you want to dress well like a celebrity but don’t have deep pockets? Great, then here are some tips for you to take a quick look at:

* First of all, know your own figure and your own style. Don’t follow trends that don’t suit you. Most clothes look great on models like Kate Moss, but don’t look as good on us normal women! Remember how many items you bought on impulse last season? And you did not even wear them!

* Look at your closet and make a list of things you already have and you really want to keep. Then make a list of the things that you really want and do you have. Buying from a list will keep you focused and minimise costly impulse buying.

* Buy the best quality of clothes and accessories that you can afford. They’ll simply look better, last longer, wear less, wash better and as a result, you will save more money than buying lots of inferior-quality pieces that will only last a few wears.

* For big items like suits, dresses, coats: buy classic styles. These will stand the test of time and not date as much as clothes bought from the latest trends. Whereas for small items like bags and accessories, buy the most trendy, fashionable ones so you look up to date and go for the brightest colours (they will not make you look fat!).

* Buy on sale whenever possible. You can grab the same piece for half or even less money just a few months after the celebs. Nobody will tell you that ‘it’s out of fashion’, just for a few months. You can grab yourself some really good bargains on the last few days’ of the sales in famous shops like Harrods and Harvey Nichols. And buy online, on Ebay if you are Internet Savvy.

* Swap small items like hats and bags with your best friends (of course, those with good taste only). There is no point in spending a lot of money on something you are only going to use once (Well, it will be embarrassing if you wear the same clothes to your important parties). So share them with your friends.

Ladies, dressing well doesn’t have to cost a fortune. If you take a little time and a bit of thought to plan for your need, and treat buying your clothes like an investment.

A Guide to the Colors and Meanings of Awareness Ribbons
Posted in Finery November 10th, 2008

Although many of the awareness ribbons are known mainly for a single cause, the fact is that nearly all of them can represent a combination of illnesses, ideals, and life events as varied as the people who use them as silent testimony to their beliefs or personal tragedies and triumphs. In fact, very few ribbons have only a single purpose, the most well recognized being the puzzle ribbon which symbolizes autism.

As an example, the pink ribbon is best known as a symbol for breast cancer awareness as well as those who have survived it or continue to struggle against it. However, did you know that the pink ribbon is also used as a symbol of childhood cancer as well as birth parents? As mentioned before, you probably see the yellow ribbon nearly every day, but were you aware that aside from its nationally known symbolic gesture of support for our troops, it is also a symbol for suicide prevention, spina bifida, and several other causes. Another popular ribbon is the red ribbon- most often associated with the fight against AIDS and HIV. Alternately, this ribbon also symbolizes stroke, heart disease, and other causes.

Now that you are familiar with the myriad of purposes behind a few of the most well-known awareness ribbons, you may be surprised to learn that there is an entire rainbow of colors left to learn about. In fact, there actually is a rainbow ribbon which is a symbol of gay pride and support of the GLBT (gay/lesbian/bi-sexual/transsexual) community in their quest for equal rights. Each ribbon from teal to brown holds a special meaning for someone, and often the same color will hold different meanings for different people.

Learn more about the many colors of awareness ribbons and their meanings. Find the color which symbolizes the cause most important to you, and then show its significance in your life with a car magnet, a ribbon attached to your lapel, or an awareness ribbon bracelet.

Why Custom Dress Shirts?
Posted in Finery November 9th, 2008

Fit

First and foremost, as its name implies, custom dress shirt is made to your measurements, your form and your physique. It is made specifically for you. Once you experience the fit of a custom shirt, it is impossible to go back to an off-the-rack shirt that is somehow, never just right.

Selection

Even if you wear a 16/34 off-the-rack shirt, selection is always limited. Stores rarely offer the scope of fabrics that you will find from your custom shirt maker, where hundreds of fabrics in different weights, patterns and qualities are abundant in your size.

Style

When was the last time you were able to choose from variety of collar, cuffs, pockets and fronts styles, such as a wide spread collar, angled French cuffs or sport front? Or for that matter, how about something really special, like a black shirt with white collar and white cuffs? All of this is possible with a custom made dress shirt.

Proportion

What if your neck size is big in proportion to your body, where the rest of the shirt fits like a tent? Or you can never find the correct sleeve length? With a custom made dress shirt, you don’t have to put up with this any more…You can enjoy a comfortable well-fitted shirt for the price of a shirt off-the-rack.

Quality

Superb workmanship, and fine fabrics are the hallmark of a custom made dress shirt. Imagine collars and cuffs that stay firm and crisp. Want to know the secret? Custom made dress shirts have 20 stitches per inch compared to a commercial dress shirt that only has 12.

Individuality

Taking all of the above points into consideration, your custom fitted shirt is as individual as your own signature. There’s not another like it anywhere!

Value

When you consider all of the advantages, a custom dress shirt is truly the best value of all, a far better than ready-made and in some cases even lower in price than expensive designer shirts.
