Convertible dresses are designed from various materials and each of them has something special to offer. Those knit in jersey patterns look just as elegant as chiffon or silk or satin apparel. Even when it comes to color, the convertibles are operable over a vast selection of colors. If you want to use them for various occasions it is better off to go for a monochrome. If cocktail parties or semi-formal occasions are part of your calendar, you can negotiate the convertible best in a black color.

If you have seen Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or even the likes of Roman Holiday, you will quickly envision how Marilyn or Audrey have epitomized the convertible dresses. At the end of the day, … Read the rest

Aviator style jackets

Just as it was last year, the Aviator inspired style is one of the huge must-have looks this season. The basic essential item in this look is the Aviator style jacket. These usually feature sheepskin lining and a high or over-sized collar which makes it an ideal winter jacket. Vintage biker-style or bomber jackets with large collars also give you this same look. This season, a lot of Aviator jackets have an off-centre zip fastening as an extra feature. For the full aviator style, why not get some sheepskin ankle boots or thigh-high boots also work well with this look. Leather gloves and a thin, single-coloured aviator-style scarf, will complement and complete your outfit perfectly!

Before diving into the details about these excellent products, it is a wise idea to first review the history and types of embroidery available to the consumer. It is this writer’s conviction that a working definition of what embroidery means is necessary. The best available definition for our purposes here is as follows: embroidery is the stitching of artistic designs in strands of thread and/or yarn on a fabric with the use of a needle. It may include such items as metal strips, beads, pearls, sequins, and quills. It is no surprise that very intricate and delicate embroidery designs are frequently performed manually by highly skills artisans. For such reasons, handmade embroidery is popular and quite coveted.

• Determine Your Body Type– While the double breasted suit looks best on men with medium to tall builds, it can be worn by any body type. However, in order for this type of suit to work well with other builds, it must be tailored to your torso. When the waistline of the jacket is brought in, your shoulders will be much more prominent. This technique, along with the overlapping lapels can reduce the appearance of your waistline.
• Count The Buttons– When the lapels cross high over your chest, with a smaller opening for the neck, you know you have a true double breasted suit. These suits are designed with buttons on each side of the jacket and one

I do not recommend Wedding Boutiques for shoes. These are specialist Wedding retailers and will stock a selection of shoes to compliment the Wedding dresses that they have in stock. If you purchase your shoes for the Happiest Day of your life from the same boutique that you have bought your dress from they will often not be sold as a matching set and will be overpriced. You could often find something comparable on the High Street or even available online but if you do opt to purchase online make sure you order from a retailer with a good returns policy and that you have adequate time for a different option if they are unsuitable or even worse never arrive.… Read the rest

Picking the Right Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans can be flattering on any body size or shape. The trick is choosing jeans that fit. The jeans should hug your legs but not be so tight that they pinch or create unflattering bulges on your hips or thighs. Jeans that have plenty of stretch are a great pick, as they will move with you and won’t pinch. Dark colors such as deep blue or black are more flattering on most people than lighter washes.

Choosing the Ankle Boots

Pick ankle boots that are the same shade as your skinny jeans to make your legs look super long. For example, wear black boots with black jeans. When you tuck the jeans into the … Read the rest
