They've held up very well(maybe 10 years?), so I recommend this brand if you're looking for some nice shoes. The downside to this company's shoes is that they are made in China(or at least mine are). In fact, most shoes and clothes that people buy were made across seas. I think every piece of clothing I'm wearing at this moment was made overseas, and almost every article of clothing that I own.
So, I read this interesting piece on a person's quest to find US-made shoes. Actually, the shoes featured there aren't made in the US either anymore.
But the important point is that US companies are exploiting workers in many 3rd-world countries around the world in order to give us clothes at cheap prices and keep their profits maximized. These thoughts were prompted somewhat from a Bible study I had yesterday on Micah Chapter 2, which talks about the exploitation of the poor, and which I think applies to most people reading this post, including me.
Now they're generally not directly exploiting the workers, as they don't own any of the factories(like that absolves them). What they do is find business people in places like South Korea who own these factories in countries like China, Vietnam, the Phillipines, and Thailand, where all our clothes are made. These factory owners are the ones who work their employees for a standard 60 hours per week and mostly pay them minimum wage, which is so low in these 3rd world countries that working 60 hours at these wages doesn't even raise the workers above the poverty line of the country where the factories are located. They often live in barracks on the factory grounds and are not allowed to leave without permission, essentially making them slaves.
An exception is Cambodia, which I heard on an episode of This American Life is a leader among 3rd world nations in labor practices, but has a hard time competing with surrounding countries because they can't make the lowest bids for contracts since they pay decent wages.
So, I thought it would be nice to find shoe companies that do actually commit to making their shoes in the US. I found a cool website called US Stuff that has a shoes section that lists companies that have manufacturing operations in the US. Sometimes you can find companies with excellent prices, like Okabashi, which makes sandals. A popular company that makes casual/athletic shoes mostly in the US is New Balance.
I'm considering buying a pair of sandals from Chaco. And maybe if my Giorgio Brutinis ever fall apart I'll buy a new pair of boat shoes from B.A. Mason Shoes :-) | fashion |

http://freshstitches.com/5-ways-to-modify-an-amigurumi-pattern/ | 2017-07-28T10:52:47 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549448198.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170728103510-20170728123510-00368.warc.gz | 0.858274 | 558 | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-30__0__163081093 | en | Even though we’re all using the same crochet pattern, I bet that no two slugs will look alike! Why? Because there are so many ways to modify an amigurumi pattern! Let’s take a peek at a few options… you might end up making more than one slug!
1. Follow the pattern exactly
There’s no shame in doing this! Use the recommended yarn, recommended hook size and follow the instructions to the letter.
You’ll get an amigurumi that looks pretty much exactly like the sample.
To change it up a little bit, pick a different color!
2. Make a giant amigurumi
To make a super-big amigurumi, pick a thick yarn and use a larger size hook. Then, follow the pattern!
If you can’t find a thick yarn, hold two strands of yarn together. It’ll be double the thickness of the original!
Don’t know what size hook to use? Don’t fret. Check the yarn label for hook recommendations, or (if you don’t have a label) guess and try a swatch. As long as your fabric doesn’t have holes, it’s a fine hook!
3. Make a teeny-tiny amigurumi
Instead of going big… go small!
I like using a fingering weight yarn (i.e. sock yarn) and a size C hook… but I’ve seen others go even smaller! Try crochet thread and a steel crochet hook for a super-tiny guy!
4. Add stripes or a gradient
It’s easy to add stripes to your amigurumi… just change yarn colors every few rounds. This is a fabulous way to use up all those little odds-and-ends of yarn!
5. Add some glitz
Maybe your amigurumi just wants a little pizazz!
You can add some beads, or pick a yarn that already has beads or sequins added in. Fun!
Ready to start crocheting?
Now that you have lots of ideas for your slug, the next step is to pick a yarn and get started!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting crocheting tips that will help you through any tricky parts. If you stumble on a problem before then, pop into the slug-a-long thread on Ravelry and ask a question!
Can’t wait to see what you crochet!
Bet you can’t wait to see what’s coming up, can you? Here’s the updated schedule: | fashion |

Sydney Airport and Heinemann Australia are jointly celebrating the opening of the airport’s Luxury Precinct today (16 February) in a spectacular three-part event.
The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie is on location and providing rolling coverage of the occasion.
The Luxury Precinct includes 17 designer
Cartier and Versace boutiques will follow this year.
An official inauguration and terminal experience this afternoon will be followed by a dinner on the airfield and an after-party at the Ivy Sydney in the Central Business District.
AUSTRALIA. Heinemann Australia has today (16 February) unveiled a spectacular new luxury beauty, fashion and accessories store at Sydney Airport Terminal 1. The store forms an integral part of the airport’s enhanced Luxury Precinct (see panel).
The Heinemann Australia store features what the travel retailer called a complete rethinking of its store design and assortment across fragrance, skincare, makeup, watches and jewellery, bolstered by the introduction of fashion and accessories.
It features many Australian airport-exclusive brands across categories including fragrance, skincare, makeup, watches and jewellery.
The retailer said the new duty free environment is emblematic of its signature design aesthetic of creating a luxury sense of place.
The spacious store offers customers what Heinemann describes as “an iconic and unique experience that connects back to the essence of Sydney and the beauty of its coastline, with clear visibility and elegant lines”.
This serves as a “compelling stage” for a stellar line-up of world-renowned brands and exclusive products, Heinemann said.
The store design also complements and anchors Sydney Airport’s new and much-expanded luxury boutique line-up, the largest collection of luxury brands in Australian retail.
The Australian airport-exclusive fashion and accessories brands in the store include Chloé, Kenzo, Lanvin and the MM6 Maison Margiela collection. Heinemann has also extended its watches and jewellery range, with the introduction of Piaget, Hublot, Breitling, Qeelin and Messika, many of which are available in an Australian airport for the first time.
As part of the redevelopment, Heinemann has increased the space dedicated to beauty in order to accommodate a larger suite of brands. These include experiential and boutique spaces for La Prairie (the Art of Beauty Suite), Kylie Cosmetics, Fresh, Chloé, Hermès Beauty, Burberry and Acqua di Parma, which are also available at an Australian airport for the first time, exclusively at Heinemann.
Other illustrious names on offer include Lanvin, Chanel Espace Parfum and a host of top international and Australian brands across categories.
Heinemann Australia Managing Director George Tsoukalas said: “We are delighted to bring in an array of new and exclusive brands and travelling experiences for our customers. With our new stores, complementing our existing world-class wines and spirits, confectionery and local products assortment, Heinemann at Sydney Airport is a shopping destination not to be missed.”
Sydney Airport Executive General Manager of Commercial Mark Zaouk said: “In 2019, we set out to change the face of luxury at Sydney Airport and I’m delighted to see our vision come together with the completion of Heinemann’s new store.
“Meticulous work has gone into creating a luxury shopping destination worth arriving early for, from the layout and design of the new precinct to the superior experiences available in each of the luxury stores.”
He added: “International travellers can look forward to curated brand, culinary and luxury experiences, as we continue to innovate and position Sydney Airport as a key player on the world stage of luxury.”
Heinemann pointed out that travellers looking to make the most of the new shopping experience need not worry about overweight baggage or having to carry their purchases throughout their trip. The travel retailer is offering Click & Collect and Shop & Collect services, where shoppers can buy online or in-store and collect their products at a Heinemann pick-up counter at their convenience.
Heinemann has been operating in Sydney Airport since 2015, when it won the nearly 10,000sq m master duty free concession in Terminal 1. Its duty free concession contract was renewed in 2019 for an additional ten years.

Kimonos are available for men and women.
The difference is in the used colors and patterns.
Nowadays, kimonos are only worn on special occasions.
A special form of kimonos is the Yukata.
This is a light cotton kimono that is worn only in summer.
There are quite simple Yukata, which you can find in hotels and spa houses as pajamas,
but also those, with which you go on summer festivals.
I had the impression on my trip that this clothing is now again becoming more and more popular,
because I saw more people in traditional clothes than on our last visit to Japan five years ago,
not only in Kyoto, but also in Nara and Osaka. | fashion |
https://www.maabaglamukhienterprise.com/10-reasons-why-brides-continue-to-love-gemstone-jewelry/ | 2023-12-07T16:23:33 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100677.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207153748-20231207183748-00522.warc.gz | 0.940263 | 1,609 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__305898505 | en | Gemstone Jewelry – one of the best-known luxury jewelry and designer pieces of today. The collection comprises Stunning, Romantic, Vintage, Trendy, and Fashionable pieces which are there for inspiration for every season and person.
With a hundred unique gems and precious stones, jewelry with gemstones may be the most exquisite of precious accessories. Gemstone Jewelry is a term that encompasses all jewelry that incorporates semiprecious stones or other gem materials as core elements. It includes amethyst jewelry, opal jewelry, rose quartz jewelry, turquoise jewelry, and an almost endless list of other materials prized for their aesthetic beauty.
The following are the reasons why brides continue to love gemstone jewelry:
1. Brides are Choosing their Birthstone to Accessorize their Dress
Gemstone jewelry is the most popular kind in women’s wedding apparel. Famous celebrities have also been photographed in this jewelry which causes it to be famous among people.
This type of Jewelry remains a timeless choice for brides to accessorize their dresses for an elegant, romantic look. Ideas have multiplied and the varieties in the market have grown, making it difficult for buyers to choose what to purchase and for sellers to keep track of their stock. The concept of “birthstone” originated from early times when people found it cumbersome to remember dates and years revolving around each zodiac sign.
For Brides and mothers-to-be, choosing the perfect birthstone jewelry is easier than you might think. It’s primarily worn by women around the world, but gemstones have also found their way into men’s rings and earrings.
2. It can be an Heirloom Piece
Gemstone jewelry is always beautiful and will be an heirloom piece for generations. Every bride wants every bit of special attention on her big day. Weddings, especially the bridal party, are all about complementing the bride with her choice of attire, accessories, and other things. One thing she should never ignore while making her wedding outfit selection is gemstones because they would be perfect when it comes to choosing the right necklace and earrings.
It is judged that a bride wears only one piece of jewelry on her wedding day, so she will select the most precious and meaningful piece she has to honor this special day. Jewelry made of gemstones reflects the beauty of natural stones and enhances the beauty of a beautiful bride on her wedding day.
3. Brides Love the Symbolism of Gemstones
Gemstones are well-known for their metaphysical properties and their healing abilities – and brides want to incorporate this symbolism into their jewelry. The most popular gemstone of all is the diamond, but did you know that not all gemstones are created equal? Diamonds are forever, but other gemstones like Amethyst, Sapphire, and Garnet hold a certain mystical quality that adds to their allure. When it comes to value for money, the very best alternative to diamonds is moissanite. Choosing the perfect ring or necklace is as momentous a decision as one to offer your hand in marriage.
4. Brides Love to Match their Gemstone Jewelry with their Dress
Gemstone jewelry has long existed as a popular choice for couples on their wedding day. Gemstone bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings are perceived to be beautiful pieces of jewelry. Gemstone jewelry is loved by brides for its beautiful designs, gorgeous colors, and elegance.
Wedding season makes many of us think of brides. Brides need gemstone jewelry that matches their wedding dresses and outfits. There are different gemstones available and people can either choose different kinds of jewelry or the same color of stone for the dress and jewelry to complement each other.
5. They’re Everlasting Pieces
Gemstone jewelry is an extraordinary addition to any bridal fashion accessories. The beautiful sparkles it produces make them perfect for weddings and anniversaries. Gemstones are available in a wide range of shapes, hues, and cuts which each define a different everlasting gift. Gemstone jewelry is offered in a large selection of beautiful colors, shapes, patterns, and sizes.
These stone jewelry also present different purposes such as healing and clearing energy blockages. People these days wear gemstone jewelry for its beauty and healing benefits. Gemstone jewelry is designed by the artist to capture beautiful colors to attract human attraction towards it.
6. It Reflects Every Bride’s Personality
Every bride has a unique personality. Gemstone Jewelry reflects every bride’s personality. Whether you’re looking for Diamond Earrings, Birthstone Rings, or Something Else, our collection is sure to sparkle. There are so many things you can choose from! We hope you will find something here to your taste. Best wishes for your wedding journey from Valentine Gem Jewelry, a store committed to providing high-quality gemstones and fine craftsmanship.
7. Colored Gemstones will Complement Any Skin Tone and Make you Look your Best
Gemstones are considered the most valuable raw materials, which is why they have been used by humans since ancient times. Colored gemstones will complement any skin tone and make you look your best.
Whether a birthday, anniversary, or just because, you’ll find a jewelry gift for your favorite someone at one of the wholesale jewelry suppliers. With thousands of wonderful selections and an extensive collection from which to choose, finding a gemstone pendant necklace or gemstone bracelet is easy.
8. It’s a Trend that Suits Every Style
Gemstone jewelry is a trend that suits every style. You can easily incorporate it into your collection and even begin creating your own design. Gemstones bring style and uniqueness to any jewelry item you wear. Whether you decide to use all gemstones or just one, you can easily create something beautiful. There are so many ways to accessorize with gemstone jewelry. You can combine single gemstone bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and rings in the same way as chunky designs or layer them together in a fun, mismatched combinations.
When it comes to jewelry, there aren’t a lot of trends I can talk about. Rings are still in, and jangly bracelets are nice, but I don’t really have the chops to write about haute couture. However, there is one exception. Gemstone jewelry is having a major comeback. That makes me happy because I love this style of jewelry so much. It’s simple, elegant, and in general suits every style.
9. Brides Love Precious Stones
A gemstone is a mineral or other hard material that is valued for its beauty, color, saturation, rarity, and/or ability to be cut. The most popular gemstones are diamonds, emeralds, and rubies. There are five main characteristics to watch out for in a precious stone: color, durability, origin, clarity, and cut. Here I have selected some of the most amazing natural gemstones and created a collection of Gemstone Jewelry based on my knowledge.
Gemstones are the backbones of many bridal jewelry sets. They signify the beauty and purity of the bride. Gemstones set in bold, heavy earrings, delicate necklaces, and rich bracelets are the ultimate flaunts in her wedding attire. Although they look traditional, they prove to be quite a contemporary choice for brides!

Somehow it has already been 6 days since the Curvy Con ended! If you follow along with my Instagram stories you know I have partnered with JCPenney yet again this year! (Click here to see last year’s post!) I’m still unpacking and winding down from the whole whirlwind Curvy Con experience but I’m excited to share this first recap with you! In this post I’m breaking down my 3 JCPenney looks that I wore to the Curvy Con, including links to shop them!
So, JCPenney has been a great partner of mine since early 2018 and they reached out to me again to do some sponsored coverage of the 2019 Curvy Con. The best part - they armed me with a $150 gift card and the mission of shopping for the perfect looks to wear while I’m there! I know, sounds fun enough, but then I get to bring my Instagram community along with me to shop too. While it does add more time to my shopping trip, I love seeing the responses from followers that prove sometimes a cute look I find that fits my size 18 body can change perceptions. I want women like me to understand that JCPenney is great place to go for style for women of all sizes.
Above are the 7 looks I tried on, with a goal of finding at least 2 looks! After a collection of votes from followers, here are the winning looks!
Look #1 - JCPenney IG Live Takeover!
On Day 2 of the Curvy Con I got the opportunity to take over JCPenney’s Instagram! I hosted a fun live Q&A about style and confidence with a fellow brand ambassador (Shaina from @outofthecorner). I found this look towards the end of my shopping trip and immediately loved it. Mixing patterns is one of the most exciting ways to breathe life into your wardrobe! I had first found this cute print button down top by Worthington, but it wasn’t until I found these subtle animal print pants that I knew I had an official “look.” It gave that perfect stylish professional vibe without being too stuffy or formal!
Top: brand is Worthington, size 1X.
Jeggings: brand is A.N.A, size 20W.
Look #2 - JCPenney Booth!
I thought I would hate this top, I really did…but I loved the fall floral moment once I put it on! (One point goes to shopping in person versus online). This top by A.N.A has sleeves with a cute tie detail that manages to add to the somewhat retro/vintage feel (which is something the brand A.N.A is actually known for!)
Biggest tip here? Try tying any button down top at your waist! I’ve always hated button downs because they’re boxy or seem too formal, but unbutton the last few buttons and tie it up, then pair it with a cute high waisted jean or skirt and all of a sudden you can see your shape again but still look put together!
Top: brand is A.N.A, size 1X.
Straight-leg jeans: brand is A.N.A., size 20W.
Look #3 - JCPenney After Party!
This dress was hands down THE crowd favorite from the fitting room! If you know me you know I love a body con. This dress is from Bold Elements, a brand which is known for form-fitting silhouettes that highlight and flatter your curves! The material has a lot of stretch but is actually a nice density and NOT too thin (a.k.a. not sheer at all!). I knew immediately this was my after party dress and my after-party-after-the-after-party dress!
Tip! This was found in the main JCPenney women’s section not the plus section. If you’re anywhere near a 16/18/20, it’s definitely worth combing both sections as department store brands often run larger (or more true to size) than the fast fashion online stores that are so popular now.
Dress: brand is Bold Elements, size XXL.
Bonus! 2 More Looks!
Even before Curvy Con kicked off, I put together 2 more JCPenney looks for a fun content shoot! If you go to www.JCPenney.com and search “Curvy Con” you’ll see these 2 looks below come up as the first 2 options under the search results! Click each outfit and on the site all the individual pieces are listed and linked!
That’s it! I love that JCPenney is offering some great options for fall. And even more, I love that they are placing such value on repeatedly participating in Curvy Con, an event created specifically for the plus size community, and on partnering with plus size influencers. It says a lot to see where brands are spending their dollars and clearly JCPenney sees the value in investing in us and knows our true spending power.
One last tip! Chat up the employee that checks you out. The lady that checked me out ended up letting me use a JCPenney coupon even without me asking for one. In the end I was able to get all 3 looks (not including shoes) for the $150 I came in with!

The supermodel gave us a preview of makeup artist Pat McGrath‘s new lip kit.
Naomi enhanced her pout with glittery red lipstick. The look was achieved using Pat McGrath’s Lust 004 Lip Kit in Vermilion Venom. (The kit will be available on August 30.) To complement the sparkly lip, Naomi opted for a soft wash of gray and white eyeshadow and flirty black lashes. The supermodel’s makeup look was created by Renee Garnes.
Naomi stuck with her signature long, straight hair for the VMAs. Jimmy Paul created the look. Naomi’s locks were parted down the center and brushed back off her shoulders.
Naomi wore different Brandon Maxwell gowns throughout the awards show. When she arrived at the VMAs, she wore a strapless dress in a pale sea foam shade.She accessorized with various bracelets and shimmering gold heels. She was styled by Edward Enninful.
During the show, she changed into a white maxi down with asymmetrical neckline and a thick high slit. Silver strappy shoes completed the look.

There’s something about shopping for dresses in flowy fabrics, bright colors and fun silhouettes that makes my heart excited. After being inside all winter: it’s the little things. Cheers to wedding guest dresses spring 2023!
My sister-in-law is getting married this year and I just bought the dress I’ll be wearing to her wedding (I’ve linked that stunning dress if you want to match with me!) While I was browsing dresses, I found so many I’m excited to share with you all!
From my top picks, to dress codes de-coded, the best shoes for dancing all night, to the best colors for a spring wedding: keep reading!

Wedding Guest Dresses Spring 2023 Etiquette
Wedding guest dress codes are alway up for interpretation, which is why so many of us spend HOURS researching our outfits. You want to look nice but also follow the many unspoken rules; it’s tough! A few tips for when you’re unsure of what to wear:
- Opt for a dressier option. It’s always better to be overdressed than under dressed, especially for the cocktail dress code. If you’re unsure, reference the venue’s website as possible suggestions for what will be appropriate.
- Absolutely don’t wear white. If you feel inclined to ask “is this dress too white” it most definitely is. Just don’t do it.
- Is the ceremony held in a religious house? Consider a more modest neckline and possible a shawl/sweater/jacket. This is a sign of respect for the couple’s religion and you can always leave the accessory in your car for the reception.
- Try renting your look if you don’t want to buy! Some of my favorite wedding guest looks have been rented through Rent the Runway. Just read the reviews for sizing and (pro tip) always opt for the back-up size!
- Ask the couple! This question isn’t bothering them (speaking as a former bride) – it’s showing you care about their big day!
Color Palette: Wedding Guest Dresses Spring 2023
I love all the pretty pastels and patterns this season! Word to the wise: if you purchase a dress in a very light pastel, before you remove the tags: check the dress in multiple lighting options. Some of the ultra light spring shades can appear white with flash or in afternoon light. You don’t want to be “that person” that is the talk of cocktail hour for appearing to be matching the bride.
When shopping for wedding guest dresses spring 2023 some of the biggest trends you’ll notice are statement sleeves, cutouts, applique and ruffles. Many dresses will feel whimsical and fun; is there any thing better?
Spring Wedding Guest Dresses by Dress Code
Time for the main event: suggestions for wedding guest dresses spring 2023! You’ll find the major wedding guest dress codes below with some additional information on how these dresses are categorized. If these aren’t your cup of tea, no worries! It’s just a starting point.
Typically, lighter colors pair better with an afternoon wedding and warmer colors for an evening event, however spring fashion typically pulls out a lot of pastels. Feel free to disregard this rule for the warmer months!
White Tie & Black Tie Dresses
A black tie dress code (or even a white tie dress code) is the most formal option for a couple to decide on. When shopping for a dress, opt for floor length and try your best to have your shoes covered. Your dress can have a slit on the leg if black tie (or black-tie optional), however, if you’re attending a white tie wedding, it’s best to stick to more of a ballgown feel. You could even accessorize with opera gloves if you wanted!
If you’re wondering what I’m wearing to my family’s wedding, it’s the blue ruffled dress.
Formal Wedding Guest Dresses Spring 2023
One of the most popular wedding guest dress codes, this option will be more relaxed than black tie but floor length dresses will still be welcomed! This is the dress code where statement sleeves, ruffles and bows will shine: formal is all about showing personality.
Cocktail Wedding Guest Dresses
My personal favorite dress code: this one is all about having fun and making sure you’re able to dance all night long. The majority of spring weddings I’ve attended are generally cocktail attire because this is the easiest to wear in a garden party setting.
Think tea length or shorter and floral patterns will be welcomed! I also love wearing solid Lilly Pulitzer dresses for this attire. It’s a dress I know I’ll most definitely be able to wear again.
Destination Wedding Guest Dresses Spring 2023
Destination weddings are truly a dream! There’s a huge uptick in weddings overseas or in warmer climates after backyard nuputals were the standard just a few years back. Couples are looking to celebrate with friends and family in new locations where everyone can make memories to last a lifetime.
For these types of weddings, a dressier vacation dress will be appropriate! Breezy and flowy dresses will be preferred for a beach setting, especially if the event will be held outdoors.
If you’re attending a wedding this spring: have fun! Being invited to celebrate someone’s special day is an honor and no matter what you wear, you’re going to have the best time!
Let me know in the comments if you plan to wear any of these suggestions! | fashion |

For those desiring a gown that accentuates curves and exudes sensuality, mermaid wedding dresses are the epitome of glamorous sophistication. With their figure-hugging silhouette and dramatic flair, mermaid dresses have become a popular choice for brides looking to make a statement as they walk down the aisle.
Sleek Silhouette: The defining feature of a mermaid wedding dress is its sleek silhouette that hugs the body from the bust to the knees before flaring out dramatically at the bottom. This form-fitting style accentuates curves and creates a stunning hourglass shape that is both elegant and sultry.
Dramatic Train: Many mermaid dresses feature a dramatic train that adds to the overall allure of the gown. Whether it’s a cascading train adorned with intricate lace or a simple yet striking design, the train enhances the drama and grandeur of the dress as the bride glides across the floor.
Luxe Fabrics: Mermaid wedding dresses are often crafted from luxurious fabrics such as satin, silk, or lace, which not only lend a sense of opulence but also drape beautifully over the body, highlighting every curve and contour.
Statement Details: From exquisite beadwork and sparkling sequins to delicate lace appliques and illusion panels, mermaid dresses offer a myriad of details that add depth and dimension to the gown. These embellishments draw the eye and create visual interest, elevating the overall look and feel of the dress.
Neckline Variations: Mermaid wedding dresses come in a variety of neckline options, allowing brides to choose a style that complements their personal taste and flatters their figure. Whether it’s a sweetheart neckline, plunging V-neck, or off-the-shoulder design, each neckline adds its own touch of allure and allure to the gown.
Versatile Styles: While traditionally associated with formal weddings, mermaid dresses can be adapted to suit a range of wedding themes and settings. Whether it’s a beachside ceremony or a glamorous ballroom affair, there’s a mermaid dress to suit every bridal vision and venue.
Confidence Booster: One of the most empowering aspects of wearing a mermaid wedding dress is the confidence it instills in the bride. The figure-flattering silhouette and striking design make a bold statement, allowing brides to feel empowered and radiant as they celebrate their love and commitment.
In conclusion, mermaid wedding dresses are the epitome of elegance, sophistication, and sexiness. With their sleek silhouette, dramatic flair, and luxurious details, these gowns are sure to turn heads and leave a lasting impression on your wedding day. Whether you’re a classic bride seeking timeless glamour or a modern bride looking to make a statement, a mermaid wedding dress offers the perfect combination of style, allure, and romance. | fashion |

Small tears and holes are commonplace, but they can detract from an otherwise professional appearance. Fortunately, rips tend to appear along seams, making them simple to repair, especially if you have access to a sewing machine.
Your look will be more professional and sophisticated if your pants are properly hemmed. It can be tough to determine the proper pant length sometimes. They can produce bunching and lines up and down the entire leg if they are somewhat too long. They can bring too much attention to your feet if they are somewhat too short, detracting from an otherwise professional appearance. Pants should either hover just above the shoe to create a straight leg or lean slightly on the shoe to create a "break" for a clean look.
Without the proper fit in the silhouette, even clean and otherwise professional clothing might look sloppy. When a top is too big, it wrinkles and looks untidy. If it is excessively tight, on the other hand, you will be uncomfortable and unable to move freely.
From one generation to the next, men's professional suit apparel and appearance have undoubtedly developed. The most significant part of dressing up your professional appearance is being fit.

You'll probably spend just as much time picking out the perfect wedding hair accessories as you do selecting your shoes. Find out what to look for and how to choose the best bridal headpieces that complement your dress, your style, and your wedding.
Things to Consider When Selecting Wedding Hair Accessories
You'll need to think about the type of hairstyle that you'll have on the big day. The more intricate your style, the more ornate your accessories can be.
You can use larger, heavier pieces on voluminous up-dos and more delicate accessories on simpler styles. The type of veil that you wear might also dictate your hair accessories.
What's Your Wedding Style?
Your fashion sense will also set the standard for what you wear in your hair. If you have boho sensibilities, you might want to stick with pieces that have organic designs, flowers, or stones. If you're having a luxurious princess-themed wedding, you might prefer a sparkling tiara.
Keep your style consistent for continuity. If your dress is regal and elaborate, you might want to look like royalty from head to toe.
However, this isn't always the case. Maybe you picked out a bridal gown that is fancier than what you thought you would choose. You can keep everything else, including your hair, toned down by using natural materials and a simple style.
If you prefer an eclectic style, make sure that you vary your look from head to toe. If everything but the hair accessory matches perfectly, the headpiece might seem out of place.
Ultimately, it depends on how you feel when you're wearing it. If you don't feel comfortable, you might not be able to pull off the look. You should feel like yourself, not like a child playing dress-up. The most important rule for choosing your hair accessory is that it should make you happy.
What Color Should Your Accessories Be?
Most hair pieces for weddings come in different types of metals. You can generally choose from gold, silver, and rose gold bridal hair accessories. They may be adorned with pearls, crystals, beads, or diamonds.
Many brides pair warmer tones with ivory dresses and cooler tones with stark white dresses. If you follow those guidelines, you might wear gold, rose gold, and pearls with an off-white gown and silver with white outfits.
However, this rule can be broken. You may, however, want to match the metals on the hair accessory with your jewelry. You can also stay consistent with the beading and jewels. If your dress is embellished with pearls, bring out those accents with pearl hair jewelry, for example.
What about adding a pop of color? Flowers and other accessories don't have to be white, gold, or silver. If your style is bold, consider using a unique color in your hair accessory. If you are implementing a dash of color with your hair accessories, stick with something that complements your wedding tones.
Choose a color from one of the flowers in your bouquet, or pick a hue that matches the napkins. Just don't mix too many tones on your body. If you use color in your hair, stay neutral with your jewelry. Something that's ever so slightly blue sticks with tradition and won't be overpowering.
What Types of Bridal Hair Accessories Are Available?
Understanding the different options for hair accessories may help you decide how to wear your hair at your wedding.
Hair combs are made with teeth on one end and a decorative embellishment on the other. When you sink the teeth into your strands, only the adornment shows. You can use hair combs to secure your hairstyle in place. However, you should also consider pinning your hair in place with structural accessories, like pins, before adding the hair combs.
Combs can be worn in up-dos and long, loose waves. You can tuck them into a bun or braid. You can also use them to pull back layers of hair to create casual structure.
These accessories usually work best on the back or side of the head. Create a dramatic, side-swept look by creating a deep side part and draping some hair across your forehead. Secure it on the other side with a pretty comb.
Clips are similar to combs. They typically have an adornment on the top and a clasp of some kind on the bottom.
Clips tend to be less bulky than combs. If you want a lot of decoration in your hair, several clips will fit better than many combs. They also might stay in place better than combs on finer hair.
A hair clip can be as simple as an embellished barrette. They can be used to hold your bangs out of the way or just to add drama to any part of your hairdo.
Tiaras and Headbands
These classic wedding accessories can be worn with any hairdo. Tiaras typically add height at the crown and can draw attention to a beautiful updo. They tend to be more fashionable than they are functional. That is, you won't be able to hold heavy strands of hair back using a tiara.
However, you can place a tiara in front of a veil to add definition and sparkle. This is the perfect way to wear it if your veil won't be pulled down over your face.
Headbands are typically molded to the shape of your head. They can be ornate or simple. Headbands can even be used to hold hair off your face.
Some elaborate tiaras have even evolved into crowns. These perch atop your head and are usually a fully enclosed circle, whereas a tiara tends to be open at one end.
When it comes to simple bridal hair accessories, flowers might be the way to go. They're fresh and classic. They can also evoke a vintage or modern look, depending on the type of flower and how you wear them.
Baby's breath is traditional and delicate. Orchids are exotic and contemporary. The sky is really the limit for floral trimmings.
That said, flowers might stay in the hair more securely if you have a structured style. Tuck them around an up-do, or add them to the pins that hold your locks half up. For a casual, romantic look, you can always pin one flower behind your ear whether you wear your hair up or down.
You might be wondering if you should use real wedding hair flowers. This depends on a number of factors. The wrong bloom may wilt before you have a chance to walk down the aisle.
Talk to your florist about the most resilient choices for wedding accessories. You'll also want to make sure that you're not allergic to the blossom.
Make sure that your hair stylist is on board with using fresh flowers. You shouldn't use any hairspray or perfume near real blooms. Your stylist will need to finalize your 'do before putting flowers in place. You'll need to keep the flowers in water or the fridge for as long as possible before adding them to your tresses anyway.
Still, no one wants a dead flower in her hair during one of the most special times in her life. A wilted flower won't photograph well, either.
You won't have to worry about wilting petals if you use a fake flower. If you go this route, don't go with the cheapest option. Invest in a well-made accessory that uses finer materials, like silk. This will enhance the elegance of your gown and your wedding day.
Hair Jewelry for Braids
Braids are a classic style that has become extremely popular in the past few years. They can be made to look romantic and unstructured or tidy and elegant. You can pull all of your hair into one big braid, or create an artistic look with several tiny braids.
Plaited hair can be pulled into an up-do, secured at the bottom or allowed to flow freely at the ends. Almost any hair accessory can be worn with a braid. Add height by wearing a tiara on your crown. Decorate the side of your head with a piece of hair jewelry placed by the ear.
You can also weave ribbons, flowers, or strands of beads into the braid. This works whether you're wearing your hair up or down.
Flowers are ideal for wrapping around your head if you create a halo-style braid. Another way to embellish this type of hairstyle is by tucking a tiara behind the piece of braid that goes across the front of your head. It will subtly catch the light, but your braid will be the real star.
Jewels or hair clips can be added where strands of braids cross. This is also a great way to hide any hair clips that you use to pin your style in place.
Hair accessories for braids can also be dotted around your head. Use random placement for subtle style that falls somewhere between goddess and queen.
A bridal hair vine is a unique way to accessorize. It can be as natural or as fancy as you want, depending on the materials and size.
Hair vines are reminiscent of floral crowns. However, they're usually made of delicate, flexible strands that are bedecked with beads, diamonds, or jewels.
They come in long and short lengths for any hair style. A long hair vine can be wrapped in and out of a long braid. When it's woven with the braid, it will peek out and catch the light without attracting too much attention.
A vine can also be wrapped once around the head to mimic a halo or crown. Shorter vines can be worn around grandiose up-dos. Longer vines can trail down long, flowing tresses.
Hair pins are some of the subtlest types of wedding hair accessories. They usually consist of straight pieces that sink into your hairstyle and an ornament at the end.
If your hair is very thick, a small hair pin might get lost in the texture. However, it might be just enough to create a little pizzazz without being overpowering.
Hair pins are perfect if you don't want to do too much with your hair, but aren't sure that you want to keep it naked. Placing just one pin in your up-do can add a tiny bit of interest.
This type of hair jewelry also makes a great gift for the bridesmaids. Choose pins that mimic the style of the bride's hairpiece to keep everyone's look along the same lines.
Ribbons can be festooned with details like beads, or completely smooth and simple. They tend to be more casual than hair accessories that are made of metal.
They're also extremely versatile. A simple bow wrapped around your head or ponytail elastic is youthful and fresh. When woven into a braid, ribbons become more intricate.
Pairing Hair Accessories with Wedding Themes
The theme of your wedding may help you decide what to wear in your hair. Some styles are more appropriate for certain themes.
Beach weddings tend to be on the more casual side. Therefore, you may be wearing your hair in a breezier style. If you're wearing your hair down, you could sweep it behind one ear using a clip with a tropical flower on it. Flowers can also be used for an up-do.
If your wedding will be outside in the sun, you might want to wear a faux flower. A real one can fade fast in the heat, wind, and salty air.
Crystals and clear jewels will catch the light in a way that mimics the ocean. Pearls are also ideal embellishments for a beach wedding because they come from the sea. You can even tie in your "something blue" by choosing an aqua or deep blue hair accessory.
If you'd like to remain traditional, select silver or gold pieces in a shape that reminds you of the sea. A starfish hairclip would be perfect for accentuating your coastal theme. The shape is pleasing and indicative of a flower. It's a great way to give a nod to nature without being too obvious about it.
While you might instantly think of florals for a garden wedding, you have more options than that for a hair piece for the bride. However, since we're on the subject, let's discuss different ways to wear flowers for an outdoor ceremony or reception.
Rose hair braiding can be done with or without incorporating the blossoms into your hairdo. You can braid the flowers into a crown or headband shape and seat them on your head. You can also weave the flowers directly into your hair.
If you're doing this, you might get the best results using faux flowers. You can also purchase hair vines with a floral pattern to elicit the feel of the garden without wearing real blooms.
Another way to incorporate a traditional style into a garden wedding is to look for gold, rose gold, or silver accessories with floral shapes and designs. Some hair combs or headpieces are made to look just like baby's breath. However, they're made from beads, pearls, or jewels that sparkle when they catch the light.
Ribbons work well for garden weddings. They're feminine and pretty, and they're often tied around bouquets of fresh flowers. They're not too fussy, either, which is perfect for an outdoor wedding.
If you have a vintage style, you have plenty to choose from when you're looking for hair accessories. Many types of combs, vines, and crowns have a vintage feel to them. Look for toned-down shapes and finishes with crystals and beadings for a vintage style.
One of the most standout vintage headpieces is the wide headband. Usually made from a piece of fabric that's decorated with embroidery or other details, this type of headband can be worn over the forehead or the top of the head.
A silver headpiece chain is another one of those vintage wedding headpieces that adds subtle flair. You can wear the chain around a long hairdo like a halo. You can also drape a chain from one piece of ornamentation to the next to build a more dramatic look.
Lace, rhinestones, and pearls are often used to give off a vintage vibe. Anything that drapes over your forehead gives you a flapper-girl feel.
Hair combs are often used with birdcage veils to exude vintage style. These mesh veils are small and usually cover the front of your head and your eyes. They need something to secure them to your head and add an element of glamour.
You could also use a fascinator to keep your birdcage veil on your head. A fascinator is usually a little heftier than a piece of jewelry, but lighter than a hat.
Fascinators are usually bedecked with flowers, beads, or feathers. They're a great alternative to hats because they're not too heavy and won't spoil your hairdo.
What you do with your hair is up to you. If you wear a comb or fascinator with a birdcage veil, you can draw your hair into a low chignon or leave it loose. This style is especially appropriate for women with short bob hairdos.
However, many women who wear this type of hair accessory pull their hair off their shoulders. You can even sweep your bands to the side for added drama.
Almost any hair accessory can be used for a formal wedding. This can be your chance to get dramatic with your look.
For a formal wedding, you can add extra sparkle to look dazzling. You can just as easily wear a subtle accessory, though.
Pearls and diamonds are classic. Scrolling designs also lend a romantic style to your bridal look.
For a formal wedding, you might want to take extra care to select your hair accessory based on your hairdo. If you're creating an extremely intricate style with your tresses, you might want to lay low on the accessorizing. A few perfectly placed pearls can do the the trick.
This is also a case where the veil may designate your hair accessory. If you're wearing your hair up, you might choose a bun wrap and hang the veil from the underside of it. If your veil will cover your face, you don't want a hair accessory that adds height, because it will create a strange silhouette at the top of the veil.
Try It On
The best way to choose a wedding hair accessory is to try it on. First, hold it next to your wedding dress. Does it seem congruent, or does it seem out of place? It's okay if it doesn't match your dress exactly. When you're wearing it on your head, you create distance between the accessory and the gown.
However, too much contrast can look confusing on the big day. Try picking out two other hair accessories and lay those next to the dress. Choose the one that seems like it fits best.
Don't make any final decisions until you try it all on, though. A hairpiece that looks great next to the dress might not work with your hair's style, length, or texture.
Go through a trial run. Have your hairdresser construct your style, and make sure that it works with your accessory. Try it on with the wedding dress to ensure that you like the look.
One way to be confident that everything works well together is by having someone photograph you from different angles. If you love the way you look in every photo, the hairpiece is a keeper.
If you really can't decide what to wear in your hair, consider changing styles throughout the night. You can keep your hair up and wear a veil during the ceremony. Then, you could literally let your hair down at the reception, securing it with a different accessory. | fashion |

Oh to have a pair of jeans with the cool little triangle on the back pocket. But the price tag!!! As a kid, you want what the cool kids have. You want the “branding” on your wardrobe. The jeans, the shoes, the purse! But what about having twice as many clothes without the label. What about 2 pairs of shoes for the price of one? Why not. The off brand labels last just as long and let’s face it…most of the time, no one notices.
Like clothing, photographers have their own branding. There are name brand large industry companies that have bells and whistles inside their studios. They create beautiful photos, but often with a huge price tag. As I started my photography business, the designer label was my competition.
RTM by Erica was created as an alternative to big brand photography. I kept hearing parents and senior students saying that they weren’t having senior photos done due to the cost. They needed a photographer to capture the memories they so desperately wanted, but with an affordable price tag.
A photo shoot with RTM by Erica includes full attention by me. I like to change the backdrop when I can, so we will move a little bit throughout the park or location of choice. You will have numerous poses included in your digital portfolio. And you won’t have to choose! The digitals are all yours! And…fully edited without extra fees. RTM by Erica doesn’t carry the big logo, but give me a try!
I love getting to know the families that I photograph. My favorite part of the day is when I get to witness the shy smiles turn to laughter. As I spend more time with them, I finally capture that perfect look that says it all. Try RTM by Erica and let me help you Remember the Moments. | fashion |

Our rings are made to standard Australian ring sizes, based on an alphabetical scale that ranges from F – Z. These letters correlate with the internal diameter of the band which is measured in millimetres as show in our ring sizing chart. If you are an international customer, please refer to the internal diameter measurements within our ring sizing chart for a more accurate size conversion.
At Hogans, we strongly recommend having your finger size measured in store by a trained sales consultant, however we understand this can be difficult and visiting a local jeweller may not be an option. That’s why we’ve created a ring sizing chart which will give you the best possible idea of your finger size without having to visit your local jeweller or our showroom in Toowoomba. To download the size guide, visit the below link and follow one of the suggested measuring methods.
Method 1: Measure an existing ring
If you already own a ring that is a perfect fit, simply measure the internal diameter and use the size guide to determine its size. See image below for a reference of the internal diameter.
Method 2: Use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of your finger
If you have a measuring tape, simply measure the circumference of your chosen finger and find the correlating measurements on our ring size guide.
Method 3: Use a ring sizer
If you have purchased a ring sizer, simply assemble and slip it onto your chosen finger. The sizer needs to be a snug fit however still loose enough that you can slip it back over the knuckle comfortably. You may choose to leave it on throughout the day to ensure you’re happy with the fit.
Things to Keep in Mind
Band Profile, Width & Thickness
Please note that brand profile, width and thickness can vary from ring to ring. If you are opting for a wider than normal band, we always suggest increasing your finger size by a ½ to full Australian size. At Hogans, our standard band width is 1.8mm and our standard profile is flat.
Resizing and Adjustments
If you’ve found a Hogans ring that you love though the size is not quite, our jewellers will be able to resize it in most instances. Resizing within 2 size ranges is included as a complimentary service with any new ring purchases. If further adjustments are required outside of these 2 sizes, our jewellers will assess whether the piece can be resized further, and a tailored quote will be provided.
Metals & Specialised Finishes
In some instances, rings may be manufactured with a specialised finish to them which means that we won’t be able to resize these rings. If this is the case, we will ensure this is noted in the product description.
Finger Size Fluctuation
Finger sizes can fluctuate due to various reasons including body temperature changes during seasonal weather changes, and so always recommend measuring your chosen finger at different times throughout the day to determine an average size. | fashion |

White gold has a similar appearance to platinum which makes it another great choice for jewellery. White gold is often rhodium plated, providing a brighter finish, however this may not be suitable for people with a nickel allergy. Non-plated 18ct or 9ct white gold varies slightly in colour due to variable gold content, with 9ct appearing whiter and brighter.
Non-plated 18ct white gold, although more precious, is softer than 9ct white gold, due to the higher gold content (75%). 9ct white gold is more durable. Rhodium plated white gold rings need to be re-plated every one to two years, to maintain their colour.
White gold is more affordable than platinum. It does however require more maintenance, so may involve more costs longer term. | fashion |

Embracing Your Body: The Key to Confidence
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of plus size fashion, it’s essential to understand that confidence starts from within. Embracing your body and loving yourself unconditionally are the foundations of true style and elegance. Society’s beauty standards may try to dictate what is considered ideal, but remember that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
By embracing your body and focusing on what makes you feel good, you can radiate confidence and charm in any outfit you choose. Let go of self-doubt and embrace your unique features. Remember, you are more than your size; you are a beautiful, powerful, and fashionable individual.
Understanding Your Body Shape: Dressing for Flattery
One of the keys to dressing to impress is understanding your body shape and dressing to flatter your curves. Each body shape has its own unique characteristics and proportions, and knowing how to enhance your best features can make a world of difference in your overall look. There are several common body shapes, including apple, pear, hourglass, and rectangle.
Identifying your body shape allows you to choose clothing styles, cuts, and silhouettes that highlight your assets and create a balanced and visually pleasing appearance. Let’s explore some popular body shapes and the fashion tips that can help you rock each one.
Apple Body Shape
The apple body shape is characterized by broader shoulders, a fuller bust, and a rounder midsection. To flatter your apple-shaped figure, opt for clothing that creates the illusion of a defined waistline and draws attention away from the midsection.
A-line dresses, empire-waist tops, and high-waisted bottoms are your go-to choices. Look for pieces that cinch at the smallest part of your waist and flow away from the midsection. Avoid overly tight or clingy clothing around the waist area, as it may emphasize the roundness.
Pear Body Shape
The pear body shape is characterized by a smaller upper body and a curvier lower body with wider hips and thighs. To balance your pear-shaped figure, focus on drawing attention upward and accentuating your waist.
Choose tops that highlight your shoulders, such as off-the-shoulder or boat necklines. Pair them with A-line skirts or wide-leg pants to create a balanced silhouette. Darker colors on the bottom can also help minimize the focus on your lower half.
Hourglass Body Shape
The hourglass body shape is characterized by well-balanced proportions, with a defined waistline and curves in the bust and hips. This classic body shape looks stunning in fitted clothing that accentuates the curves. Embrace wrap dresses, belted tops, and tailored garments that emphasize your waistline.
Opt for body-hugging styles that show off your figure without being too tight. Balance your curves with fitted tops and bottoms to create a harmonious look.
Rectangle Body Shape
The rectangle body shape is characterized by a straight silhouette, with minimal curves and a waistline that is not well-defined. The goal for a rectangle body shape is to create the illusion of curves and definition. Look for clothing that adds volume and dimension to your figure.
Choose peplum tops, ruffled skirts, and dresses with cinched waists to create the appearance of curves. Experiment with different textures, patterns, and layering techniques to add interest and shape to your outfits.
Wardrobe Essentials: Must-Have Pieces for Every Plus Size Fashionista
A well-curated wardrobe is built on a foundation of essential pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless outfit possibilities. When it comes to plus size fashion, having a collection of versatile staples is key to ensuring you’re always prepared to dress to impress in any occasion.
These wardrobe essentials are timeless, versatile, and can be styled in various ways to suit your personal taste and the specific event you’re attending. Let’s take a look at some must-have pieces for every plus size fashionista’s wardrobe.

The little black dress, often referred to as the LBD, is an iconic piece that every woman should have in her wardrobe. It’s a versatile and timeless garment that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Look for a black dress that flatters your body shape and fits you well.
Opt for a silhouette that makes you feel confident and showcases your best features. Whether it’s a classic sheath dress, a flowy maxi, or a tailored fit and flare, the LBD is a reliable choice that will never go out of style.
A tailored blazer is a wardrobe staple that instantly elevates any outfit. Whether you’re dressing for the office, a business meeting, or a semi-formal event, a well-fitted blazer adds sophistication and polish to your look. Look for blazers with a flattering cut and silhouette that
accentuates your curves. Choose neutral colors like black, navy, or gray for maximum versatility. A tailored blazer can be worn over dresses, paired with skirts or pants, or even dressed down with jeans for a smart-casual ensemble.
Classic White Shirt
A classic white shirt is a versatile piece that can be styled in countless ways. Look for a white button-down shirt that fits well and flatters your body shape. Opt for fabrics with a bit of stretch for added comfort.
A white shirt can be worn with jeans for a casual-chic look, tucked into a skirt for a more polished outfit, or even layered under a blazer or cardigan. It’s a timeless piece that adds a touch of sophistication to any ensemble.
Every wardrobe needs a pair of comfortable jeans that fit well and make you feel fabulous. Look for jeans with stretch or a bit of elastane for added comfort and mobility. Choose a style that flatters your body shape, whether it’s straight-leg, bootcut, or skinny jeans.
Dark washes are versatile and can be dressed up or down for various occasions. Invest in a high-quality pair that will last and provide you with the perfect fit and comfort.
A versatile skirt is a must-have for every fashionista. Look for a skirt that can be dressed up or down and pairs well with different tops and shoes. A midi skirt in a flattering cut and fabric is a great choice. It’s versatile enough to be worn to the office with a blouse and heels or dressed down with a T-shirt and sneakers for a casual outing. Experiment with different prints, patterns, and fabrics to add variety to your wardrobe.
Accessories are the finishing touches that complete any outfit and add personality to your look. Invest in statement accessories that can elevate your style and make a bold impression. A statement necklace, a chunky bracelet, or a vibrant scarf can instantly transform a simple outfit into a fashion statement. Experiment with different accessories that reflect your personal style and enhance your overall look.
Dressing for Casual Occasions: Effortless and Chic
When it comes to dressing for casual occasions, comfort and style go hand in hand. Plus size fashion offers a wide range of options for creating effortlessly chic and comfortable outfits that are perfect for everyday wear, running errands, or hanging out with friends.
With the right pieces and styling techniques, you can achieve a casual look that reflects your personal style and makes you feel confident. Let’s explore some fashion tips for dressing casually while still looking fabulous.
Opt for Comfortable Fabrics
When choosing clothing for casual occasions, opt for fabrics that are comfortable and breathable. Look for materials like cotton, linen, jersey, or knit blends that allow your skin to breathe and provide ease of movement.
These fabrics are perfect for everyday wear and can keep you cool and comfortable throughout the day. Avoid stiff or restrictive materials that may cause discomfort or restrict your movement.
Embrace Relaxed Silhouettes
Casual dressing is all about comfort, and embracing relaxed silhouettes is key to achieving a laid-back yet stylish look. Choose tops, dresses, and bottoms with loose or flowy cuts that drape effortlessly on your body. Relaxed-fit T-shirts, oversized sweaters, shift dresses, and wide-leg pants are great options for casual occasions.
These relaxed silhouettes provide freedom of movement and create a sense of effortlessness in your outfit.
Play with Colors and Patterns
Casual dressing allows you to have fun with colors and patterns, so don’t be afraid to experiment and express your personal style. Opt for vibrant hues, playful prints, and eye-catching patterns to add interest and personality to your casual outfits.
Mix and match different colors and patterns to create unique and visually appealing combinations. Whether it’s a bold floral print, a geometric pattern, or a vibrant color blocking, let your creativity shine through in your casual attire.
Layer with Light Outerwear
Layering is not only practical but also adds depth and dimension to your casual outfits. Light outerwear pieces like cardigans, denim jackets, or lightweight blazers are perfect for layering. They provide an extra layer of warmth on cooler days and add a stylish touch to your ensemble.
Layering allows you to mix and match different pieces, creating versatile outfits that can be adapted to changing weather conditions.
Choose Comfortable Footwear
Comfortable footwear is essential for casual occasions, as you’ll likely be on your feet for extended periods. Opt for shoes that provide both style and comfort. Sneakers, ballet flats, loafers, or sandals with cushioned soles are excellent choices for casual outings. Choose footwear that complements your outfit and allows you to move freely and comfortably throughout the day.
Accessorize with Ease
When it comes to accessorizing for casual occasions, less is often more. Opt for minimalistic accessories that complement your outfit without overpowering it. Delicate necklaces, simple stud earrings, or a dainty bracelet can add a touch of elegance to your casual look. Avoid bulky or heavy accessories that may feel uncomfortable or distract from your overall ensemble.
Stay True to Your Style
While it’s fun to experiment with different trends and styles, it’s important to stay true to your personal style when dressing casually. Your casual outfits should reflect your unique personality and make you feel confident and comfortable.
Don’t be swayed by fleeting trends or societal expectations; instead, focus on what makes you feel good and express your individuality through your fashion choices.
Dressing casually doesn’t mean compromising on style or comfort. With the right fashion tips and a touch of creativity, you can achieve effortless and chic looks for any casual occasion. Embrace relaxed silhouettes, play with colors and patterns, and accessorize with ease to create versatile outfits that reflect your personal style.
Remember to prioritize comfort and stay true to yourself when choosing your casual attire. With these fashion tips in mind, you’ll be ready to rock every casual occasion with confidence and style.

Learn how to sew this pretty, beginner-friendly, gathered skirt with pockets!
You can create it without even knowing how to gather fabric on your sewing machine.
That’s right, no parallel basting stitch to pull, hoping that they don’t break on you. The elastic waistband will help you create these beautiful gathers. Let’s get sewing! 🙂
Welcome to this beginner-friendly sew-along tutorial showing you how I made this gathered skirt with an elastic waistband!
The special thing about this skirt is that you don’t need to know how to gather fabric with your sewing machine.
No parallel basting stitches at all that you have to carefully pull. (Side note: they is a much easier way to gather fabric using your sewing machine and it involves using a wide zig-zag stitch. But more of that another time.)
There are 2 main categories of pieces involved – the skirt pieces (large rectangles) and the pockets.
Speaking generally, to produce a nice gathered skirt, you must times your hip measurement by at least 1.5. This minimum would produce a dartless A-line gathered skirt.
For more flare, simply times your hip measurement by a higher number. In this tutorial, I will times my hip measurement by 2.5.
Main features of this tutorial/skirt:
• No pattern needed.
• No gathering the fabric on the sewing machine.
• Elastic waistband, perfect for fluctuations in your waist measurement.
• Minimal waste fabric cutting (sustainability).
• No darts.
• In-seam pockets!!
• Rolled hem (using a handy technique).
Make sure to read through the entire tutorial (including the project review at the end) before making your own version!
A note about measurements: I work in imperial measurements (inches), but I have included the metric (cm) conversions in brackets. Since I have to round these conversions to the nearest 0.25cm for ease of reading, these conversions are not 100% accurate.
Tools & Fabrics
Here’s what you will need:
• Sewing machine (obviously 😉)
• A new sewing machine needle (the correct size for your fabric)
• Overlocker machine or any tools you need to finish your seams
• Your lovely fabric and matching thread
• Tailor’s chalk or another marking tool of your choice
• Fabric scissors or rotary cutter and cutting mat
• Elastic band – length equal to your waist measurement. I will be using a 1” (2.5cm) wide elastic.
• A long ruler, preferably a wide one.
• 2 sturdy safety pins.
In terms of fabric, you can make this skirt in any light to medium weight woven fabric you like. I haven’t yet tested this tutorial using knit fabrics.
In this tutorial, I will be sewing with this lovely turquoise medium-weight cotton poplin.
Good news! You only need 4 simple measurements to make this skirt, which you can take yourself.
The 4 measurements are:
Waist circumference (W)
Measure the circumference at the point where the top of the waistband will rest on your body. For many women, this will be at the smallest part of the waist (called the ‘true waist’), while others prefer the skirt to sit above this point. You are free to choose.
Make sure your measuring tape is parallel with the floor.
Hips circumference (H)
Measure the circumference at the widest part of your hips.
Make sure your measuring tape is parallel with the floor.
Waist to desired length (DL)
This measurement is from where you measured your waist circumference to the point where you want your skirt to end. Don’t add any hem allowance yet.
Waistband height (WB)
This is just how thick you want your waistband to be. I always make my waistbands 1.5” (3.75cm) wide, but it’s all down to preference. Your waistband height must be at least a little larger than the width of your elastic.
What direction does your print run in?
Before we start our calculations, we need to take a close look at our fabric.
If your fabric has a print design, you must first see if the design runs widthwise or lengthwise along the fabric. This will determine the fabric quantity and how you cut your fabric.
If the print design of your fabric runs widthwise (along the weft grain), it will look like this:
Let’s call this type of print, type A.
If your print design runs lengthwise (along the selvedge a.k.a warp grain), it will look something like this:
Let’s call this print design type B.
In the case of stripes, you can choose which direction you want the stripes to run in.
Some print designs are completely symmetrical from all angles (e.g. some dots and star patterns) or don’t have a clear “up” or “down”. In these cases, you can treat them like type A (as you will soon see, type As often use less fabric to make gathered skirts).
Unicolour (one colour) fabrics (like the one I use in this tutorial) can also be treated like type As.
A nice, gathered skirt will be a few times larger than your hip measurement. In my experience, 2.5 is a good multiplier. The larger the multiplier, the more flared the skirt will be (and the more fabric you will need).
Here’s the formular I used:
Skirt width (imperial) = (H x 2.5) + 1” seam allowance
Skirt width (metric) = (H x 2.5) + 2.5cm seam allowance
The 1” (2.5cm) seam allowance is made up a 0.5” (1.25cm) seam allowance on each side of the skirt pieces.
Here is my personal calculation:
Lily’s skirt width (imperial) = (45” x 2.5) + 1” = 113.5”
Lily’s skirt width (metric) = (114.25cm x 2.5) + 2.5cm = 288.25cm
Now to calculate how long the skirt piece will be.
To calculate the skirt length, you will need your desired length (DL) and waistband height measurements (WB).
The formula for this is:
Skirt piece length (imperial) = DL + WB + 0.5” + 0.75”
Skirt piece length (metric) = DL + WB + 1.25cm + 2cm
The 0.5” (1.25cm) is the seam allowance of the waistband which will be folded and concealed (you will see how to do this later).
The 0.75” (2cm) is the hem allowance. Feel free to change this.
My calculations are:
Lily’s skirt piece length (imperial) = 32.5” + 1.5”+ 0.5” + 0.75” = 35.25”
Lily’s skirt piece length (metric) = 82.5cm + 3.75cm + 1.25cm + 2cm = 89.5cm
I’m only 5 feet tall, so this almost a maxi length for me 😉.
Note: We must add WB to DL, even though DL technically already includes the waistband thickness (remember, DL was measured from where the top of the waistband will rest on your waist, to your desired length). This is because the waistband will be folded inwards, thus WB is technically included twice (is doubled).
You will see a visual representation of all these calculations in the next section. We will be looking at the differences between type A and type B.
TYPE A VISUALISATION
Here is the visual representation using my calculations for type A fabric:
Since my fabric is unicolor, I can treat it like type A fabrics. As you saw in the calculations, my skirt width needs to be 113.5” (288.25cm).
The width of my fabric is 58” (147.25cm), so I can cut 2 pieces to cover my skirt width (58” x 2 = 116”, which is about (294.75cm)).
Any easy way to calculate how many pieces you need is to divide your skirt width by your fabric width. So, mine is 113.5” / 58” = 1.96 pieces, so I just rounded up to 2 pieces.
This is very convenient for me and helps me to keep fabric wastage to a minimum.
However, this might not be the case for everyone. For example:
• If your hip measurement is 33” (83.75cm), then your skirt width from the previous section of this tutorial would have been 83.5” (213cm). If your fabric width is the same as mine (58″), then: 83.5” / 58” = 1.4 pieces needed. You have 3 options: 1. use 1.5 pieces and use the remaining fabric in another project; 2. round the number up or down (just make sure that in the end, you skirt width is a minimum of 1.5 times your hips); 3. cut your fabric in accordance with type B (see next section).
• If your hip measurement is 55” (139.75cm), then your skirt width from the previous section of this tutorial would have been 138.5” (351.75cm). If your fabric width is the same as mine (58″), then: 138.5” / 58” = 2.4 pieces needed. Again, you have 3 options: 1. use 2.5 pieces and use the remaining fabric in another project; 2. round the number up or down (just make sure that in the end, you skirt width is a minimum of 1.5 times your hips); 3. cut your fabric in accordance with type B (see next section).
Hopefully these examples will help you figure out how many skirt pieces you need if your fabric is type A like mine.
Note: If you use an odd number of skirt pieces and you still want in-seam pockets, you will need to create 2 extra seams on each side of the skirt.
Once you know how many pieces you need, you can times it by your skirt piece length to get your fabric yardage. Since I need 2 skirt pieces, this means 2 x 35.25” = 80.5”, which is 204.5cm. Basically, that’s how much fabric I need to buy at a store to make this skirt.
I tend to buy a little more than this quantity to allow for fabric shrinkage (wash your fabric before working on it!). I’ve heard that fabric shrinkage can be as much as 10% for some cotton fabrics.
You can also use fabric remnants to test your fabric on your sewing machine (and overlocker machine, if you have one). You will need to do this to determine the correct tension settings for your fabric.
TYPE B VISUALISATION
Here is a visual representation of the skirt pieces using my measurements for type B:
If you must cut your fabric according to type B, your fabric yardage will be equal to your skirt width, plus a bit extra to allow for fabric shrinkage.
You can see that with type B fabrics, you will end up with just one piece regardless of your skirt width, since skirt width is not restricted by the width of your fabric.
However, you may need to buy more fabric. I will need at least 113.5” (288.25cm) of fabric if I cut it this way as type B, while type A only needed 80.5” (204.5cm)! That’s a significant difference!
This is why it is so important to make these calculations first before cutting (or maybe even buying) your fabric. It could save you time and money (and frustration).
You will also need to cut the fabric in half to make a new seam, so that you can sew on the pockets on each side of the skirt. This means that you must also include an extra 1” (2.5cm) to your skirt width.
Cutting the Pieces
I will be cutting my fabric according to type A! But you can apply the general principles to type B.
Once upon a time, I thought I could snip into the selvedge and tear along the weft grain to get my rectangles quickly (literally within seconds).
I don’t recommend that you do this.
Although you would be able to get your skirt pieces really quickly, the weft and warp grains of a fabric are never perfectly perpendicular (at least in my experience). Therefore, the rectangles would not be perfectly “on grain”.
This basically means that some pieces of your skirt may end up twisting against each other.
Instead of doing this, accurately measure and cut out your skirt pieces using a ruler. Any ruler will be fine, but a wide one with markings like the one pictured would be very useful.
To start off, we first need a clean, accurate cut on the weft grain. Line the ruler up with the selvedge (picture above) and draw a line (with tailor’s chalk) from one selvedge across to the other. So, basically a perpendicular line in relation to the selvedge. Cut along this chalk line with your fabric scissors or rotary cutter.
If your ruler is not long enough to get you to the other selvedge, fold the fabric and use the section you have just cut to guide you as you cut the rest of the length (pictures below).
Once you have a clean edge, mark your skirt piece length (mine is 35.25” (89.5cm)) on the selvedge. Use your ruler to cut along the weft (perpendicular to the selvedge again, see picture below) at this mark to complete the rectangle, which is your first skirt piece.
Cut your second skirt piece (or as many pieces as your need) in the same way.
Side note: Yes, my fabric is creased because I didn’t see the need to iron all of it before working on it. I only ironed the selvedges (and later, the pocket pieces). But if your fabric is very creased, go ahead and iron all of it for more accurate results 😊.
Keeping my fabric folded, I cut out my pockets using a pattern I drafted myself. You need 2 pairs, to make 4 pieces in total.
You don’t need a pocket pattern, you can draw directly on the fabric (see next section).
The In-seam Pockets
Here is a quick tutorial on how to draw the shape of the in-seam pockets. You can draw it directly on the fabric, or you can draw it on paper and save it as your pattern for future projects (recommended).
We want the warp grain to run vertically on the pocket. Therefore, we will be using the selvedge (or any line parallel to the selvedge) as our starting point.
Place your hand next to the selvedge, at a roughly 45 degree angle pointing downwards. Draw around your hand (picture below).
We now need to make this shape larger. You can see that I significantly increased the opening of the pocket, by roughly doubling it. I also extended the widest point by about 2” (5cm). (Picture below.)
Now, you must make sure that:
• You will be able to fit your phone in the pocket (or the largest item you plan on putting in it);
• The widest part of your hand will fit through the opening.
• The pocket is wide enough for you to spread out your fingers (see picture below).
Bear in mind that this shape will already include your seam allowances.
You can see the final shape of the pocket in yellow (below).
And that’s it. There’s no complicated science behind it. Cut out this final shape on the fold and you already have your first pair of pockets. Then cut out a second pair (again on the fold) by using the first pair as a guide.
Time to Sew!
SEWING AND FINISHING THE SEAMS
After cutting out the pocket pieces, finish the raw edges. I overlocked them with my overlocker machine. If you don’t have an overlocker, use a zig-zag stitch or pinking shears, or anything else to prevent the raw edges from fraying.
I also overlocked the sides of the skirt pieces that will be joined to each other. I didn’t need to do this since my skirt sides were the selvedges and they don’t fray, but I wanted to use my blue overlocking thread and match it with the overlocking of the pockets.
We will leave the pockets for now and move onto the faux waistband. I call it the faux waistband because we didn’t cut a separate piece for the waistband. The waistband will basically be the top of the skirt pieces folded and pressed inwards.
On the right side of your skirt pieces (what will be the outside of your skirt), draw a horizontal line 0.5” (1.25cm) below the top edge of your skirt piece. This line represents the seam allowance of your faux waistband.
From this first line, draw another horizontal line below it. The distance between these 2 lines is determined by your chosen waistband thickness (WB). Mine is 1.5” (3.75cm), so I drew a chalk line 1.5” (3.75cm) below the first line. This second line represents the top of your waistband.
To help you draw the first chalk line more easily, mark 0.5” (1.25cm) down at different points and connect the dots together. Repeat this technique for the second line.
Draw these 2 lines on the top of all your skirt pieces.
Note: If you are worried that your chalk lines will not eventually come off your fabric, sew horizontal basting stitches across your skirt pieces instead. Basting stitches are created using the longest stitch length on your machine. Do not backstitch at any end.
Now turn the fabric so that the wrong side (what will be the inside of your skirt) is facing you.
Fold and press the top of the skirt piece inwards using the first line as a guide (picture below).
Do this also for the second line (picture below).
Let’s go back to working on the pockets. It’s time to mark where the pockets will be sewn onto the skirt piece.
On the side of each skirt piece, mark down about 5” (12.75cm) from the second line (i.e. the top of the waistband). Mark on the right side of the skirt pieces.
Sew the pockets onto the skirt pieces as shown below, with the right sides facing each other. Sew one pair of pockets onto each skirt piece (one pocket piece for each side). Remember to backstitch at the beginning and end.
Afterwards, press the pocket away from the skirt piece (picture below).
Unfold the folds you previously created for the faux waistband and pin the front and back skirt pieces together, with right sides facing each other. Pin together the skirt side seams and around the pockets as indicated in the picture below.
However, on one side, leave a gap between the first and second line (mark where this gap will be with your marking tool, see picture below). This gap should be at least the width of your elastic. The elastic will later be fed into the waistband through this opening.
Also, mark the corners where the pockets meet the skirt pieces as a guide for when you are sewing (see below).
Sew the front and back skirt pieces together. When you get to those aforementioned corners, make sure your needle is down, lift the presser foot and then turn your fabric to the new direction. Lower your presser foot and continue sewing. I also like to backstitch just before and after the corner to reinforce the stitches there.
Do not sew over pins! This is very dangerous and can result in fragments of the needle/pins breaking off at high speeds. This can cause serious injury.
Once you have sewn the front and back skirt pieces together, press the seam towards to front skirt piece. This is because the pocket needs to be facing the front to make it easier to put your hand through.
Press the pocket on the right side to make it look nice and flat.
To help the pocket remain facing the front, topstitch the front skirt piece and the pocket piece below it together, about 0.25” (0.75cm) from the edge (see below).
FINISHING THE FAUX WAISTBAND AND INSTALLING THE ELASTIC
Fold the waistband along the 2 fold lines you created earlier. With the inside of the skirt facing you, stitch just above the first line to conceal the raw edge (below).
After this, topstitch the top of the waistband (just below the second line) to give it a nice finishing (below).
Now that the waistband is looking nice and neat, we can install the elastic. It’s time to get out your 2 sturdy safety pins.
The length of your elastic must be 1” (2.5cm) smaller than your waist measurement. Otherwise, it will feel too loose on your waist.
I used a white elastic because my fabric is light-coloured. But depending on your fabric colour, it might not matter what colour elastic you use.
Insert the first safety pin into the end of the elastic that you will feed into the waistband (below).
The second safety will be used to secure the other end of the elastic to the waistband (below). The second safety pin does not pierce through to the outside of the waistband to prevent making a visible hole there.
This second safety pin prevents the elastic from suddenly flying into the waistband (which is a pain to try and get back out!) since the elastic length is shorter than the length of the waistband.
Feed the first safety pin into the waistband all the way until you get to the other side.
Then carefully unpin the safety pins and place the 2 sides of the elastic together with one side overlapping the other for about 1” (2.5cm). Pin them in place (see below). Yes, that means that the elastic is an additional 1” (2.5cm) smaller than your waist, but it shouldn’t feel tight on your waist due to the stretchiness of the elastic.
Using a narrow zig-zag stitch, sew the ends of the elastics together. Remove the pin as you get close to it. Zig-zag several times, going forwards and backwards (back-stitching), as seen below. Straight stitches will not work here; they will eventually snap due to the stretchiness of the elastic.
Once the elastic ends have been securely sewn together, neatly place the elastic completely inside the waistband. Distribute the gathers evenly along the elastic waistband.
Before closing the waistband opening, it’s time to try on your skirt and check 2 things:
• Does the waistband feel firm enough or does the elastic need to be shortened?
• Are you satisfied with the length of the skirt? (Bearing in mind that it will still be shortened by about 0.75” (2cm) when the skirt is hemmed.)
If the elastic feels loose, carefully pull out the elastic and cut off the overlapping ends. Overlap the new ends and zig-zag stitch them together, as you did previously. Evenly distribute the gathers and try on the skirt again. Repeat this process until the skirt feels comfortably firm on your waist.
If the skirt is too long, use your ruler to cut an even length along the hem until you are satisfied with the final length (again, keeping in mind that the skirt will be hemmed later).
Once you are satisfied with the above, go ahead and topstitch close to the waistband opening (picture below). Make sure that the overlapped bulk of the elastic has been moved to one side, otherwise your sewing machine will not be very pleased.
Topstitching will also prevent the elastic from twisting inside the waistband as it attaches the elastic to both sides of the waistband.
You can stitch the elastic to the waistband in other places if you feel that the elastic is twisting there too. This will also help the gathers stay more evenly around the waistband (as they sometimes move around).
However, make sure to stitch slowly and don’t force the fabric or your sewing needle! You can try a zig-zag stitch instead of a straight stitch if this helps, or even use a larger-sized sewing needle. But stop if your sewing machine complains too much.
Now it’s time for the last stage. (Hurray!)
HEMMING THE SKIRT
Here, we will just sew a standard rolled hem, where the hem is rolled and pressed inwards twice and stitched to conceal any raw edges.
However, I have a neat trick to show you!
Instead of continuously measuring along the hem with your measuring tape or sewing gauge, there’s a quicker way to keep the folds the same width.
For a 0.75” (2cm) hem, sew a basting stitch about 0.25” (0.75cm) away from the raw edge (see below). This will be your guide for pressing the first fold!
Fold and press the hem inwards just past this basting stitch guideline, so that it doesn’t show on the right side (see below).
After this, simply fold again and press a second time (picture below).
Then, with the inside of the skirt facing you, stitch close to the first fold line all along the hem (below).
Simple, right? Your finished rolled hem should look something like this:
Give the skirt a good pressing, and you are done! Hurray! 🥳
The Finished Skirt
Here is the finished skirt on a hanger:
Here are some more pictures of me wearing it:
The colour is so lovely! A simple, cute skirt that you can be proud of 😊.
This is where I evaluate my work! I recommend you do this too, no matter what skill level you are at or how you feel the project went.
WHAT I DID WELL
Overall, I think the skirt looks pretty! I sewed it together well and finished it neatly.
I’m especially proud of how I folded and ironed the waistband! It turned out very neat.
Furthermore, I like how this project had very minimal fabric waste. As rewarding as it can be, sewing can be extremely wasteful (fabric, threads, paper etc.) and resource heavy (electricity and water for pre-washing fabric). So, I’m glad that I was able to make this project reasonably sustainable.
I also really like how flared the skirt is.
My recommendation: To evaluate the swish-factor of your skirt and see how it looks from the back, ask someone to walk behind you and film you (with a phone) as you walk. You will be able to see how the skirt hangs over your bum!
I have started doing this and I have been shocked at how differently a garment looks at the back compared to the front, especially when you are moving. A garment that looks like it has enough ease at the back when standing, can look tight when you walk!
Observing yourself in the mirror won’t be enough; someone has to film you as you walk naturally for you to truly see how the garment is behaving.
If your hips create severe drag lines towards the waist while you walk (making the back look tight), you probably need to increase ease.
Women who have a large difference between waist and hip measurements will be most affected by this.
WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME
Since the waistband wasn’t cut as a separate piece and is the same width as the skirt, there are a lot of gathers at the waist. This won’t be to everyone’s taste.
Personally, I would like there to be less gathers at the waist. This means that I would have to make the waistband much smaller than the skirt width. The skirt pieces would then need to be gathered using the sewing machine and sewn to the waistband. I will soon do a tutorial on this!
Gathered skirts tends to make your hips look wider due to all the folds in the skirt. If you care about your hips looking wider, then you can reduce your fabric width. I personally wouldn’t do less than 1.5 times, but no more than 2.5 times, my hip measurement.
Lastly, I think I will increase the pocket opening by about 1” (2.5cm) to give my hands a little extra room.
FINAL THOUGHTS AND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
I think this beginner-friendly technique will be doable for many sewists, since there is no gathering of the fabric using the sewing machine.
If you want to sew yourself a fairly simple skirt (compared to other skirts) or you are new to sewing, have a go at making this.
Remember that with every new skill or technique, you will probably mess up on the first few attempts. Keep going and don’t give up! Growth only comes from experience 😊.
Get it done and don’t worry about it being absolutely perfect.
Here are some future projects to look forward to:
• A simple top to match this skirt.
• Another flared gathered skirt with elastic, but with less gathers on the waist (including an easy way to gather fabric using your sewing machine).
• A skirt (not sure which one yet) with a fitted waistband, zip and button.
A Question for You…
That’s all for now! I have covered everything I thought was of value in this tutorial.
I will end this tutorial with 2 questions for you:
• What’s your favourite style of skirt and why?
• What skirt should I make a tutorial on next? (Feel free to add as much detail as you like.)
I would love to hear your questions, thoughts and feedback in the comments! 😊 | fashion |

The Ashley May Lace is an heirloom quality handkerchief. This treasure is made from a very soft white 100% cotton fabric that is fully surrounded by hand made soft cotton bobbin lace. If you are not familiar with this type of lace, bobbin lace is created entirely by hand using a very time intensive technique that requires lots of threads on little wooden bobbins, nimble fingers, and a sharp attention to detail!
It is a fascinating art which results in exquisitely detailed thread lace. This handkerchief measures approximately 10.5-11" square. The lace is about 1/2" wide.
In our fast paced disposable world, a gift of this lovely handkerchief will certainly demonstrate your appreciation and value of handcrafted items. | fashion |

The process includes several steps, which are:
The initial consultation:
The suiting saga commences with an initial consultation between the client and the master tailor. This meeting is where the client’s preferences, style, and requirements are discussed in detail. The tailor begins by taking meticulous measurements, considering not only the client’s body dimensions but also their posture and unique physical characteristics.
Fabric with precision:
With measurements and design in hand, the master tailor proceeds to cut the fabric with precision. Each piece of the suit is individually cut to ensure a perfect fit. Expert artisans then assemble the suit, paying meticulous attention to stitching, buttonholes, and linings. It’s a symphony of craftsmanship and precision.
Fitting processes or sessions:
The journey includes multiple fitting sessions where the client tries on the evolving suit. The tailor makes adjustments as needed to ensure an impeccable fit. These sessions are a testament to the commitment to perfection that defines bespoke tailoring.
The final stages of the suiting saga involve meticulous finishing. The suit undergoes pressing, steaming, and shaping to ensure it drapes beautifully and maintains its shape. The tailor conducts a thorough inspection, ensuring the suit meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Delivery and elegance:
The culmination of the suiting saga is the delivery of the finished masterpiece to the client. Every detail, from the choice of fabric to the precision of the measurements and the artistry of the craftsmanship, contributes to the suit’s elegance. When the client wears the suit, they experience a level of comfort and style that is unparalleled.
The suiting saga is a narrative of precision, craftsmanship, and individuality. It showcases the transformation of fabric into a tailored masterpiece, where each step contributes to the creation of a suit that embodies elegance and reflects the client’s refined taste and personality. This journey is a timeless celebration of the artistry and enduring allure of bespoke tailoring. | fashion |

Time for another photoshoot feature! This was my first shoot with La Photographie, and the photos are my favorites I’ve ever done. I wore two different looks for this shoot, so this post will feature the first one: the Mosh Bow playsuit from Dottie’s Delights, paired with sheer opera length gloves from What Katie Did. I absolutely love this playsuit, I need more opportunities to wear it! I’m thinking of wearing it underneath some high waist palazzo pants for a glamorous night out.
This shoot made me feel like a classic pinup painting! I did my own hair and makeup, doing my usual nude eyeshadow with cat eyeliner. I wore my favorite bright red lipstick: Von Teese Red from Dita Von Teese’s collaboration with MAC Cosmetics. The color was limited edition, and I’m still kicking myself for only buying two tubes! It’s the perfect rich, bright, matte red, super pigmented and non-drying. Dita’s name is even imprinted into the lipstick itself! MAC is my go-to brand for red lipstick. If you want to read about my favorite lipstick brands and shades, I’ll have an “everything lipstick” post coming soon!
I treated myself to this shoot for my birthday last year, and I’m so glad I’ll always have these photos. Whenever I do a shoot, I think about an interview I saw with Dita Von Teese where she described her first book, Burlesque and the Art of the Teese, as “documentation of my youth.” I love that concept, since none of us are going to be young forever! I think of how I’ll still enjoy my photos in 20, 30, and 40 years. And Dita, who turns 45 this year, looks better than ever! I like to think my pinup modeling will only keep getting better from here.
And now, the lady is a vamp…
Coming up: I’m attending an event this week I’m INCREDIBLY excited about, and so I think my next post will be devoted to that. Stay tuned! | fashion |

The Bohemian Frill Trim V-Neck Dress is a captivating piece that embodies the essence of boho chic style. With its flowing silhouette and charming frill details, this dress is a canvas for creative accessorizing.
To elevate your ensemble to its fullest bohemian potential, it's essential to choose accessories that perfectly complement the dress's whimsical and free-spirited vibe.
In this guide, we'll explore a range of accessories that harmonize beautifully with the Bohemian Frill Trim V-Neck Dress.
1. Layered Jewelry for Boho Charm
Layered jewelry adds depth and texture to your ensemble, enhancing the dress's bohemian charm.
- Layered Necklaces: Choose necklaces of varying lengths with pendants or charms that reflect bohemian aesthetics. Mixing metals, natural stones, and intricate designs adds an eclectic touch.
- Stacked Bracelets: Embrace the boho trend of stacked bracelets featuring bangles, cuffs, and beaded designs. Opt for earthy tones and textures that resonate with the dress's style.
- Dangle Earrings: Long, dangle earrings with feathers, beads, or intricate metalwork can frame your face beautifully and add movement to your look.
2. Tassel Accessories for Playful Flair
Tassels are a quintessential bohemian detail that can be incorporated into various accessories.
- Tassel Earrings: Choose earrings with tassel accents that match or complement the colors of your dress. These playful and eye-catching details echo the frill trim of the dress.
- Tassel Belt or Sash: A tassel belt or sash can be worn around the waist to add definition to your silhouette while infusing a touch of bohemian flair.
3. Textured Bags for Boho Appeal
Textured bags add depth and dimension to your outfit, aligning well with bohemian aesthetics.
- Woven Clutch: A woven clutch or pouch with intricate designs or patterns can enhance the boho vibe of your ensemble while offering a functional accessory.
- Embroidered Crossbody Bag: Choose a crossbody bag with embroidered details that echo the dress's playful frills. This adds a pop of color and visual interest.
4. Footwear for Relaxed Elegance
Footwear plays a significant role in completing your bohemian look.
- Strappy Sandals: Flat or heeled strappy sandals with embellishments, braiding, or fringe can perfectly complement the dress's flowy silhouette.
- Ankle Boots: For a slightly edgier boho look, pair the dress with ankle boots featuring decorative details like buckles or embroidery.
5. Headwear and Hair Accessories
Adding headwear or hair accessories can accentuate the bohemian feel of the dress.
- Floppy Hat: A wide-brimmed floppy hat not only offers sun protection but also exudes a carefree bohemian vibe, making it a great addition to outdoor events.
- Flower Crown: For a whimsical touch, consider wearing a flower crown that echoes the dress's natural and romantic aesthetic.
6. Scarves for Versatile Styling
Scarves can be worn in various ways to enhance the Bohemian Frill Trim V-Neck Dress.
- Belted Scarf: Tie a lightweight scarf around your waist as a belt to add color and texture while defining your waistline.
- Shawl or Wrap: Drape a scarf over your shoulders as a shawl or wrap to stay warm and add a touch of bohemian elegance on cooler evenings.
Accessorizing the Bohemian Frill Trim V-Neck Dress is an opportunity to curate your own bohemian masterpiece. By choosing layered jewelry, tassel accents, textured bags, footwear, headwear, and scarves that resonate with the dress's style, you can create an ensemble that's uniquely yours.
Whether you're attending a music festival, a garden party, or simply embracing a day of carefree adventure, these accessories will perfectly complement the dress's whimsical and free-spirited essence, allowing you to fully embrace the bohemian aesthetic in all its charm and allure. | fashion |

Ibrahim expressed her excitement about the partnership with Nordstrom.

“I am grateful to find collaborators that are committed to creating a place where every customer is welcome, respected, appreciated and able to be themselves,” she said. “Henna & Hijabs’ mission is inspired from a place of inclusion and representation. As an entrepreneur and designer, I hope our new partnership with Nordstrom and this collection of hijabs will offer millions of underrepresented women a favorite new addition to their closet, but also inspire them to reimagine what is possible and find inner strength.”
The new collection is currently on display in many Nordstrom stores across the U.S., including the latest addition this month at Tysons Corner Center in Virginia. Ibrahim was joined by over 200 people for the official launch, which was also graced by the presence of comedian Yasmin Elhady, influencer Aysha Harun and Usma Sabir. Most of the products sold out during the event.
The fall collection offers an additional 11 hijabs that meet trends and offer comfortable material for colder weather. It also features a cap that can help keep hijabs from slipping off.
Ibrahim hopes this collection in Nordstrom will make purchasing hijabs easier for Muslim women and girls.
“Until now, many Muslim women had to go to multiple stores to find a complete outfit including hijab, but through this partnership, we’re making modest fashion more accessible for the millions of Muslim women in the U.S. and Canada – who can now walk into a Nordstrom with confidence and see themselves represented throughout the store,” she said.
Jen Jackson Brown, EVP and President of Nordstrom Product Group, said the Nordstrom team looks forward to evolving their product line.
“We are honored and excited to be partnering with Henna & Hijabs (H&H) to create a thoughtfully designed collection of hijabs for our customers,” she said. “We look forward to continuing to evolve our assortment, while listening to our employees, customers, brand partners and neighbors along the way. We hope this collection provides a sense of pride, excitement and confidence for an otherwise underrepresented community of women.”
Ibrahim founded H&H in 2017 after realizing the lack of fashion options available for Muslim women. She hopes this line will show other retailers that Muslim women are an integral part of society.
“I wanted to find a way to uplift millions of young girls and women to dream big, and I truly wanted the young women and girls who look like me to know that the representation that you guys see in the store tonight is really important and really matters,” she said.

Ibrahim also created Hijabs for Healthcare, a mission she created in an effort to address the lack of fashionable hijabs available for Muslim women in healthcare. In 2018, H&H created the first healthcare hijab.
The hijabs at Nordstrom start at $39 and can be purchased online and in stores. | fashion |

My daughter Averi is being baptized next weekend and I needed to buy her a gown for it. After looking at dresses, I decided that I was going to re-purpose my wedding dress into a baptismal gown for Averi. I took my favorite aspect of my dress (the back/train) and made it into a gown for Averi. After several attempts at using a pattern to create her gown (I can't follow a pattern if my life depended on it!) I decided to wing it and create my own design. The anxiety and stress that came from the thought of cutting up my wedding gown almost made me stop. I thought about it and decided that I would never again be wearing my gown, I love it so much and what a better way to incorporate the love between Tommy & I into Averi's special day.... I did it, I took the scissors to my wedding gown.
I couldn't be happier with how Averi's gown turned out!! I'm far from being a professional seamstress (I would actually only consider myself a very novice sewer) but here's the final product.
Next on the agenda was a headband for Averi's big day. I looked online to check out my options and I was going to buy one ... after all, the dress took me quite a while to make so I was going to just buy her headband. I couldn't find what I wanted. I was looking for simple, all white, and pretty. I love the rosettes that I see on headbands but never knew how to make them and all the ones I found were colored. Off to youtube I went to find a tutorial on making roses. It was actually quite easy. These roses are made using the material from my wedding gown as well.
I probably could have paid a seamstress to make my wedding gown into Averi's baptismal gown and had it look better, but I'm quite proud of what I came up with. No amount of money could be paid to a seamstress to put the love that I have put into making Averi's gown & headband. She has been such a blessing to our lives and at times it still surreal to believe that she's actually here. When I found out that she was a girl the first thing I said to Tommy was "I don't know how to be a girl Mom" ..... looks like I've figured it out. Love you bunches and bunches Averi Mae Britton | fashion |

- Comfort: Breathable, molds to your foot
- Style: Versatile, available in many designs
- Durability: Depends on material and care
When looking for shoes that blend comfort and style, fabric upper shoes are a standout choice. They’re not only versatile enough to fit a range of styles and occasions, but also offer superior comfort by adapting to the shape of your feet, thanks to the soft and breathable materials used.
Whether you’re a shoe manufacturer or retailer facing quality issues with your products, understanding the importance of fabric choices in shoe upper design can significantly enhance your offerings. Fabric uppers, when selected and cared for correctly, can turn a regular shoe into a staple for any wardrobe, marrying comfort and style beautifully.
However, not all fabric uppers are created equal. The durability, breathability, and overall fit of the shoe can greatly vary based on the type of fabric chosen. It’s crucial to balance these elements to ensure satisfaction both in terms of aesthetic appeal and wearability.
Why Choose Fabric Uppers?
- For Consumers: They offer unparalleled comfort and a unique style statement.
- For Retailers/Manufacturers: They are a way to differentiate in a crowded market, addressing common customer complaints about comfort and blistering, all while adding variety to your product line.
Understanding Fabric Uppers
When we talk about fabric upper shoes, we’re diving into a world where comfort meets style. But what exactly makes fabric uppers so special? Let’s break it down into three key areas: Materials, Durability, and Flexibility.
Fabric uppers can be made from a variety of materials, each offering its unique benefits. Here are a few popular ones:
– Canvas: Known for its durability and ease of cleaning, canvas is a go-to for casual shoes.
– Mesh: Offers exceptional breathability, making it perfect for athletic shoes.
– Knit: Provides a snug, sock-like fit, enhancing comfort and flexibility.
These materials not only contribute to the shoe’s look but also play a significant role in its functionality and comfort level.
The durability of fabric upper shoes largely depends on the type of material used. For instance, canvas is incredibly resilient and can withstand a good deal of wear and tear, making it ideal for everyday wear. On the other hand, knit materials, while flexible and comfortable, may require more care to maintain their shape and structure over time. It’s important to consider how you plan to use your shoes to choose a material that aligns with your needs.
One of the biggest advantages of fabric upper shoes is their flexibility. Materials like knit and mesh can stretch, providing a fit that moves with your foot. This flexibility can significantly enhance comfort, especially for those with specific foot conditions or those who need extra room to move.
To ensure you’re getting the most out of your fabric upper shoes, it’s crucial to consider these aspects. Whether you’re looking for a durable pair of canvas sneakers, breathable mesh running shoes, or flexible knit slip-ons, understanding the properties of these materials will help you make an informed choice.
The right fabric upper can make a world of difference in how your shoes look, feel, and perform. So, take the time to choose wisely, keeping in mind the activities you’ll be undertaking and the level of comfort you’re aiming for. And always refer to care instructions to keep your fabric upper shoes in top condition for as long as possible.
In our next section, we’ll delve into the best materials for running shoes upper, offering insights into which materials offer the best balance of durability, flexibility, and comfort for your running needs.
Best Materials for Running Shoes Upper
When choosing the right running shoes, the material of the upper part can make a big difference in your running experience. Here’s a straightforward look at the best materials used for running shoes upper, focusing on suede, nubuck, leather, synthetic leather, shellac, canvas, denim, and knit. Each one has its own set of benefits that can suit different runner’s needs.
Suede is a type of leather with a napped finish, known for its soft texture. It’s not the most common choice for running shoes due to its susceptibility to water damage, but it’s valued in fashion-forward athletic footwear for its aesthetic appeal.
Nubuck is similar to suede but is made from the outer side of the leather, making it more durable and resistant to wear. It’s tougher than suede, offers decent flexibility, and provides a stylish look for running shoes that are also used casually.
Leather is traditional, durable, and offers a snug fit that adapts to your feet over time. However, it’s not as breathable as other materials, making it less common in high-intensity running shoes designed for hot weather or long distances.
Synthetic leather provides the look and some durability of genuine leather but at a lower cost and with better breathability. It’s a popular choice for running shoes due to its lightweight nature and ease of maintenance.
Shellac is used less frequently but can be found in specialized running shoes for adding strength and protection to other materials. It’s a resin that provides a smooth finish and can help waterproof shoes.
Canvas is lightweight and breathable, making it a good choice for casual running shoes. It’s not as durable as some of the other materials, but it offers a comfortable fit and is easy to clean.
Denim isn’t a typical material for running shoes but can be seen in fashion-centric athletic footwear. It provides a unique look but lacks the performance characteristics of materials designed specifically for running.
Knit uppers are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility, breathability, and custom fit. They offer excellent comfort and are particularly suited for long-distance runners who need shoes that can accommodate the natural swelling of feet during runs.
When selecting the best material for running shoes upper, consider factors like breathability, durability, flexibility, and weight. For instance:
- Breathable materials like mesh and knit are ideal for hot climates and long-distance running.
- Durable materials like leather and nubuck are great for rugged terrain.
- Flexible and lightweight materials like synthetic leather and canvas suit those who value comfort and speed.
The right material can enhance your running experience, offering a combination of comfort, style, and performance that suits your specific needs.
In choosing your next pair of running shoes, consider not just the material but also how it aligns with where, how often, and how far you run. Stay informed and select the material that best fits your running lifestyle.
In the following sections, we will explore how these materials impact the types of running shoes available, including sneakers, athletic shoes, and more. Stay tuned for a comprehensive guide to finding your perfect pair.
Types of Fabric Upper Shoes
When it comes to selecting shoes, the fabric of the upper part plays a crucial role in determining comfort, style, and functionality. Here’s a closer look at the different types of fabric upper shoes and what makes each unique.
Sneakers are the most versatile type of fabric upper shoes. They’re designed for comfort and durability, making them suitable for daily wear and light physical activities. The fabric used in sneakers often includes canvas, knit, or synthetic materials that offer breathability and flexibility.
Athletic shoes, including running shoes and gym trainers, usually feature synthetic mesh or knit uppers. These materials are chosen for their lightweight properties and ability to provide targeted support and breathability where it’s needed most. Athletic shoes often incorporate stretchable fabric uppers to accommodate the natural swelling of feet during exercise.
Fabric upper sandals offer a blend of comfort and style for warmer weather. Materials like canvas and woven textiles are popular for their breathability and ease of cleaning. These sandals often feature adjustable straps made from fabric, providing a comfortable and secure fit.
Fabric upper boots, including hiking boots and fashion boots, use durable materials like suede and nubuck. These materials provide the necessary support and protection for different activities and weather conditions. Some boots also incorporate waterproof fabric uppers to keep feet dry in wet environments.
Casual & Dress
Casual and dress shoes with fabric uppers range from loafers to elegant pumps. Materials like satin, canvas, and fine knit offer a sophisticated look while providing comfort. These shoes often feature unique textures and prints that add a touch of personality to any outfit.
Shoes designed for stretch comfort cater to those with specific foot conditions like bunions or hammertoes. These shoes use soft, stretchable fabrics that conform to the foot, reducing pressure points and friction. This category is especially important for individuals seeking relief without sacrificing style.
Each type of fabric upper shoe serves different purposes and offers distinct benefits. Whether you’re looking for the daily comfort of sneakers, the support of athletic shoes, the lightweight feel of sandals, the protection of boots, the elegance of casual and dress shoes, or the specialized comfort of stretchable shoes, there’s a fabric upper shoe to meet your needs.
Understanding the variety of fabric upper shoes available can help you make informed decisions based on your lifestyle, activities, and personal style preferences. The right pair of shoes can make a difference in how you feel and move throughout your day.
In the next sections, we will delve into how to care for your fabric upper shoes to ensure they last longer and remain in great condition.
How to Care for Fabric Upper Shoes
Keeping your fabric upper shoes in great condition doesn’t just extend their lifespan but also ensures they keep looking their best. Let’s dive into simple, effective ways to care for these versatile shoes.
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, a simple spot cleaning method can work wonders. Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush dipped in a mixture of water and mild detergent. Gently scrub the stained area and rinse with a damp cloth.
Machine Washing: Some fabric upper shoes are machine washable. However, it’s crucial to check the manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding. Use a gentle cycle, cold water, and place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag for protection. Air dry the shoes away from direct sunlight.
Deodorizing: Fabric shoes can sometimes retain odors. Sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes and leaving it overnight can absorb unwanted smells. Just remember to shake out the baking soda before wearing.
Waterproofing: Applying a waterproof spray specifically designed for fabric can help protect your shoes from water and stains. This is particularly useful for those living in wet climates.
Regular Checks: Regularly inspect your shoes for wear and tear. Pay attention to seams and the fabric’s surface. Early detection of damage can lead to simpler, more effective repairs.
Proper Storage: Keep your fabric upper shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Sun exposure can fade the color and weaken the fabric over time.
Rotation: Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day. Rotating between different pairs can give your shoes time to air out and return to their natural shape, reducing wear and tear.
Professional Care: For tough stains or repairs, consider professional cleaning or repair services. Experts can often work wonders on shoes you might consider past their prime.
By following these simple care tips, your fabric upper shoes can maintain their comfort, style, and durability for longer. A little bit of maintenance goes a long way in extending the life of your favorite footwear.
In the next section, we’ll explore how to select the right fabric upper shoes for your needs, considering factors like comfort, style, and purpose. Stay tuned for brand recommendations and tips to make the best choice for your feet.
Selecting the Right Fabric Upper Shoes for Your Needs
Choosing the right fabric upper shoes boils down to balancing comfort, style, and purpose.
First and foremost, comfort should be your priority. Shoes that don’t fit well or don’t provide adequate support can lead to discomfort and even foot problems over time. Look for shoes with a soft, breathable fabric upper that will allow your feet to stay comfortable throughout the day. Memory foam insoles or padded footbeds can add an extra layer of comfort.
Style is subjective and varies greatly depending on personal preference and the occasion. Fabric upper shoes come in a variety of styles, from casual sneakers to more formal dress shoes. Consider what you’ll be wearing these shoes for and choose a style that complements your wardrobe. For example, canvas sneakers might be great for casual outings, while suede loafers could be better suited for more formal events.
The purpose of the shoe is another crucial factor. Are you looking for everyday wear, or do you need shoes for a specific activity like running or hiking? Athletic shoes, for instance, often feature mesh fabric uppers for enhanced breathability and flexibility, which is ideal for sports and exercise.
Several brands are known for their quality fabric upper shoes, each offering unique features:
Nike: Known for innovative and stylish designs, Nike offers a range of fabric upper shoes suitable for sports and casual wear. Their mesh uppers are particularly popular for offering breathability and comfort.
Clarks: Clarks is renowned for its comfortable and durable shoes. They offer a variety of fabric upper styles, including casual and dress shoes, known for their support and cushioning.
Jeffrey Campbell: For those who prioritize style, Jeffrey Campbell offers trendy fabric upper options. Their unique designs can add a fashionable edge to any outfit.

Dr. Comfort: As the name suggests, Dr. Comfort focuses on comfortable footwear. Their fabric upper shoes are ideal for everyday wear, providing both style and ease.
When selecting the right fabric upper shoes, consider these factors and choose a pair that meets your specific needs. The best shoes are the ones that you feel good wearing, both in terms of comfort and style.
In the next section, we’ll dive into some frequently asked questions about fabric upper shoes to help you further understand this footwear choice.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fabric Upper Shoes
What is Fabric Upper in Shoes?
The fabric upper in shoes refers to the top part of the shoe that covers the foot. This can include the vamp (the front part of the shoe), quarters (the sides of the shoe), and linings (the inside material that touches the foot). The fabric upper is crucial because it’s what gives the shoe its shape, style, and most importantly, its comfort level.
What is the Upper Part of the Shoe Material?
The upper part of a shoe can be made from a variety of materials including leather, nylon, canvas, and mesh. Each material offers different benefits. For instance,
– Leather is known for its durability and classic look.
– Nylon and mesh are praised for their breathability, making them excellent choices for athletic and summer shoes.
– Canvas is lightweight and versatile, perfect for casual wear.
How Do Fabric Uppers Affect Shoe Comfort and Durability?
The material of the fabric upper plays a significant role in both the comfort and durability of a shoe. Let’s break this down:
Comfort: The softness and flexibility of materials like mesh or knit can offer a more comfortable fit by adapting to the shape of the foot. This is crucial for those who have foot conditions or need extra support.
Durability: While materials like leather and canvas are known for their longevity, they might require more care to maintain their appearance. Synthetic fabrics, on the other hand, may not last as long but are often easier to care for and may resist weather conditions better.
Style Impact: The choice of upper material also affects the shoe’s aesthetic. Leather can offer a polished look, while canvas and knit fabrics provide a more casual and modern vibe.
When selecting fabric upper shoes, consider your needs and lifestyle. For instance, if you’re looking for shoes to wear in an office setting, leather uppers might be the best choice for their elegant appearance and durability. However, for those leading an active lifestyle or living in warmer climates, shoes with nylon or mesh uppers could provide better comfort and breathability.
In summary, fabric upper shoes come in various materials, each offering unique benefits in terms of comfort, durability, and style. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision tailored to your specific needs and ensure that the shoes you choose not only look good but also feel great on your feet.

Everyone wants to show off their signature style and you can too with Ocean Waves stylish and functional selection. You can find exactly what you’re looking for to save your eyes from the dangers of the sun while looking fantastic.
Why You Need Sunglasses for Spring Break
Prolonged exposure to sun on unprotected eyes can lead to a wide range of health issues and problems with your sight. The last thing you want out of your spring break is damage to your eyes from simply enjoying the sun. Wearing high quality sunglasses protects your eyes throughout the entire day from its harmful rays.
Around 10% of all types of skin cancer occurs directly on the eyelids. This high rate of skin cancer around the eye stems from the thinness and sensitivity of the skin on your eyelids. It’s actually the thinnest and most sensitive skin on the body. Because of this high sensitivity, sun rays can significantly harm your eyelids without much exposure. Wearing high quality sunglasses helps protect your eyelids during the long days you’ll spend in the sun over your spring break.
Another way the sun can damage your eyes is through Cataracts. The Glaucoma Research Foundation finds that the main contribution to developing Cataracts comes from prolonged exposure to the sun. This is why they recommend always wearing sunglasses whenever you plan to be out in the sun for long periods of time like over spring break.
By wearing sunglasses, you not only look fabulous throughout your entire spring break, but you also help prevent the development of dangerous health issues that could affect you for the rest of your life.

In the ever-evolving realm of fashion, the term 'exotic fashion' has become more than just a phrase; it's a celebration of global diversity. This blog delves into how ethnic fashion, with its vibrant tapestries and rich cultural narratives, is reshaping the fashion industry. We're witnessing a surge in global fusion fashion trends, blending traditional aesthetics with modern flair, creating a unique tapestry of styles.
Exotic Fashion: A Global Phenomenon
The rise of ethnic fashion is not just a trend but a movement, reflecting a global embrace of diversity and heritage. In this movement, the impact of world fashion influences plays a crucial role. These influences not only shape the styles and designs but also bring about significant changes in how ethnic fashion is perceived and valued in the global fashion arena. Let's delve deeper into three key aspects of this impact.
Influence of Cultural Heritage: Bridging Tradition and Modernity
- Global Exposure: As designers gain global exposure, they bring their rich cultural heritage to the forefront, introducing traditional elements to a worldwide audience.
- Fusion of Styles: The amalgamation of ethnic motifs with modern design principles has led to innovative creations, often termed as 'global fusion fashion trends'. This approach has opened doors for ethnic fashion to be worn in various contexts, from casual streetwear to high-end fashion runways.
- Preservation of Identity: By incorporating traditional designs, patterns, and techniques, designers are playing a pivotal role in preserving and celebrating their cultural identities, making ethnic fashion a medium of storytelling and cultural expression.
Revival of Artisanal Crafts: Celebrating Handcrafted Traditions
- Recognition of Artisanal Skills: The revival of artisanal crafts in fashion has brought recognition to the skills of artisans who are the custodians of age-old techniques like weaving, embroidery, and dyeing.
- Collaborations and Fair Trade: Many fashion brands are collaborating with local artisans, leading to the creation of unique ethnic fashion styles. These collaborations are often based on fair trade principles, ensuring artisans are fairly compensated for their skills.
- Cultural Exchange: These handcrafted creations, when introduced to the global market, facilitate a cultural exchange, making the unique heritage of different communities accessible and appreciated worldwide.
Sustainability in Ethnic Fashion: Aligning with Contemporary Values
- Sustainable Materials and Practices: There's a growing trend towards using sustainable, organic materials and eco-friendly practices in the creation of ethnic fashion. This shift aligns with the increasing global awareness about environmental conservation.
- Ethical Production: The focus on ethical production methods in ethnic fashion, including fair labor practices and reduction of environmental impact, resonates with contemporary consumer values, particularly among the younger generations.
- Longevity and Quality: Unlike fast fashion, ethnic fashion often emphasizes quality and longevity. Handcrafted Sri Lankan outfits, for example, are not just garments but heirloom pieces that can be passed down through generations.
The influence of world fashion on ethnic styles has not only diversified the fashion landscape but has also brought about a deeper appreciation and understanding of cultural heritages. This impact signifies a shift towards a more inclusive, sustainable, and culturally-rich fashion industry. By embracing these trends, ethnic fashion continues to play a significant role in shaping global fashion narratives.
Global Fusion Fashion Trends: Blending the Old with the New
In the dynamic world of fashion, the fusion of traditional and modern elements has led to the creation of exotic fashion that resonates across cultures and borders. This blend of East and West, the incorporation of indigenous techniques, and the celebration of diverse prints and fabrics highlight a global trend towards a more inclusive and eclectic fashion landscape. Let's explore how this fusion is manifesting in contemporary fashion.
East Meets West: A Harmonious Blend of Cultural Aesthetics
- Cultural Synthesis: Designers are skillfully blending the rich aesthetics of Eastern traditional wear with the minimalism and functionality of Western fashion. This synthesis creates exotic fashion that is both culturally rich and globally appealing.
- Runway Trends: On international runways, we are seeing an increasing number of collections that feature traditional Eastern garments like kimonos, saris, and cheongsams, reimagined with a contemporary twist.
- Cross-Cultural Appeal: This East-meets-West approach is not just about fashion; it's a celebration of cultural diversity and mutual appreciation, making exotic fashion a medium for global unity and understanding.
African Prints in Mainstream Fashion: Celebrating Vibrant Heritage
- Global Recognition: African prints, known for their vibrant colors and bold patterns, have gained significant traction in mainstream fashion, celebrated for their uniqueness and cultural significance.
- Designer Interpretations: High-profile designers are incorporating African fabrics into their collections, introducing them to a broader audience and paying homage to African artistry.
- Cultural Identity and Fashion: The integration of African prints in global fashion trends has allowed a platform for African designers and artisans to showcase their heritage and for people of African descent to express their cultural identity through fashion.
Incorporating Indigenous Techniques: Preserving Artisanal Heritage
- Revival of Artisanal Skills: In exotic fashion, there is a growing emphasis on using traditional weaving, embroidery, and dyeing techniques. This revival not only adds authenticity to fashion but also helps preserve artisanal crafts that are part of cultural heritage.
- Sustainable and Unique: By incorporating these indigenous techniques, fashion brands are offering products that are not only unique but also sustainable, as many of these techniques are eco-friendly and involve handcrafted processes.
- Cultural Stories in Fabric: Each piece of exotic fashion that incorporates traditional techniques tells a story, a narrative of the culture and people behind it, making these garments more than just fashion statements but carriers of history and tradition.
The fusion of tradition with modernity in exotic fashion is a testament to the evolving nature of the fashion industry – one that respects and celebrates cultural heritage while embracing contemporary trends. This fusion is not just creating new fashion statements but is also building bridges between different cultures, promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of global diversity through the universal language of fashion.
Contemporary Exotic Fashion: The New Wave
Ethnic fashion is experiencing a remarkable transformation in the modern world. This evolution is not just about style; it's a confluence of tradition with technology, the influence of public figures, and the presence of ethnic garments on global fashion stages. Let's delve into how these factors are reshaping ethnic fashion, making it a significant part of the global fashion narrative.
Technology Meets Tradition: Revolutionizing Ethnic Garment Creation
- Innovative Fabrication: The integration of modern technology in the creation of ethnic garments is revolutionizing traditional attire. Techniques like digital printing and automated embroidery are enabling designers to produce intricate and precise designs that were once only possible by hand.
- Sustainability and Efficiency: Advanced technologies are also allowing for more sustainable production methods, reducing waste and improving efficiency, which is particularly crucial for handcrafted Sri Lankan outfits and other ethnic wear.
- Accessibility and Customization: Technology has made ethnic fashion more accessible. Online platforms and virtual fitting technologies are making it easier for people around the world to explore and customize ethnic wear, bringing traditional Sri Lankan dress designs and other ethnic fashion to a broader audience.
Celebrity Influence: Bringing Ethnic Fashion to the Mainstream
- Fashion Icons and Trendsetters: Celebrities and influential figures wearing ethnic attire have significantly contributed to bringing exotic fashion into the mainstream. When public figures embrace ethnic wear, they often set trends and inspire their followers to explore these styles.
- Cultural Representation: Celebrities from diverse backgrounds wearing their traditional attire on public platforms is a powerful statement of cultural pride and representation, encouraging others to do the same.
- Bridging Cultures: The endorsement of ethnic fashion by celebrities often acts as a bridge, introducing traditional styles to new audiences and fostering a greater appreciation for cultural diversity in fashion.
Global Runways: Showcasing Ethnic Fashion’s Versatility and Appeal
- Ethnic on International Platforms: Ethnic fashion is increasingly being showcased on global runways, highlighting its versatility and global appeal. From Paris to New York, traditional garments are being reimagined and presented alongside contemporary fashion.
- Fusion and Innovation: These shows often feature a fusion of ethnic and modern styles, demonstrating the innovative ways traditional elements can be incorporated into contemporary fashion.
- Raising Awareness: The presence of ethnic fashion on global runways also plays a crucial role in raising awareness about different cultures and their unique fashion sensibilities, contributing to the growing interest in and respect for ethnic fashion.
The evolution of ethnic fashion in the modern world is a vibrant testament to how traditional styles can adapt and thrive in the contemporary fashion landscape. Through the synergy of technology and tradition, the influence of celebrities, and its presence on global runways, ethnic fashion is not only preserving its heritage but also carving out a significant and respected place in the world of fashion.
World Fashion Influences: Shaping Future Trends
In the ever-evolving world of fashion, global trends play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of exotic fashion. The influence of globalization, the power of social media, and the evolving future of fashion are key factors contributing to how ethnic and exotic fashion styles are perceived, adopted, and celebrated worldwide. Let's explore these influences in more detail.
Globalization's Impact: Creating a Melting Pot of Fashion Styles
- Cross-Cultural Exchanges: Globalization has facilitated a cross-cultural exchange of fashion ideas and trends. As people and cultures interact more freely, there is a natural blending and sharing of fashion styles, which includes the incorporation of ethnic elements into mainstream fashion.
- Broadening Horizons: The global fashion industry has become more inclusive, with designers and brands from various parts of the world gaining international recognition. This inclusivity has allowed unique Sri Lankan tea blends of fashion, among others, to gain a wider audience.
- Influence on Design and Production: Designers are increasingly sourcing inspiration and materials from around the globe, leading to a more diverse and rich fashion output. This global approach has also influenced production techniques, with a greater emphasis on ethical and sustainable practices.
Social Media and Fashion: Amplifying Ethnic Fashion on a Global Stage
- Showcasing Diversity: Social media platforms have become instrumental in showcasing and popularizing unique ethnic fashion styles. With the power of these platforms, a designer showcasing traditional Sri Lankan dress designs or African prints can reach a global audience instantly.
- Influencer Impact: Fashion influencers and bloggers play a significant role in this trend. By featuring ethnic and exotic fashion on their channels, they help bring these styles into the mainstream consciousness.
- Community and Engagement: Social media has also fostered communities of fashion enthusiasts who share, discuss, and celebrate ethnic fashion trends, further driving interest and appreciation for diverse fashion styles.
The Future of Fashion: Embracing Diversity as the New Norm
- Celebrating Diversity: The fusion of global cultures in fashion points towards a future where diversity in style is not just accepted but celebrated. This trend suggests a move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to fashion, towards a more personalized and culturally inclusive approach.
- Technological Integration: Future fashion trends are likely to see a greater integration of technology, not just in production but in customization and distribution, making exotic fashion more accessible to a global audience.
- Sustainable and Ethical Practices: The future of fashion also hints at a continued focus on sustainability and ethics, especially in the production of ethnic and exotic fashion, aligning with global concerns about the environment and social responsibility.
The influence of global trends on exotic fashion signifies a transformative era in the fashion industry, characterized by an appreciation for cultural diversity, technological advancement, and ethical practices. This evolution not only enriches the fashion landscape but also fosters a deeper understanding and respect for the cultural stories behind each garment.
Conclusion: A Tapestry of Styles and Cultures
The rise of ethnic fashion is not just about clothing; it's a movement towards a more inclusive, diverse, and culturally aware fashion industry. Exotic fashion, with its blend of global fusion fashion trends and unique ethnic fashion styles, is setting the stage for a future where fashion is a true representation of the world's rich tapestry of cultures. As we move forward, contemporary exotic fashion will continue to play a crucial role in shaping our identities and expressing our cultural heritage.

Let's talk about the Rectangle body shape, which might just be your golden ticket to upping your style game!
So, What’s the Rectangle Shape, Anyway?
Imagine your shoulders and hips lining up nicely, and your waist being just right – not too defined, but not completely straight either. It’s like the symmetry of supermodels. Yes, you got it! It's like having that perfect canvas ready for your masterpiece.
Embrace Your Shape and Flaunt It!
Sure, you might've heard words like "banana" or "straight" tossed around. But let’s stick with "Rectangle" - it's classy, after all! And guess what? It's far from boring. With the right tricks up your sleeve, you can look just as fab as those hourglass-shaped celebs.
Celebrity Style Inspiration
Speaking of celebs, did you know that stars like Hailey Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Natalie Portman all rock the rectangle shape? They ooze style, and with our tips, so can you!
Tips to Dress Up Your Rectangle Frame:
Volume is Key: Think ruffles, puff sleeves, or anything that adds a little 'oomph'.
Belt it Up: A snazzy belt can give the illusion of a curvier waist.
Layers on Layers: Pop on a flowy cardigan or a nipped-in blazer. Layers can create depth and interest.
Colors & Patterns: Don’t be shy. A vibrant top or a fun pattern can be your best pal.
Balance is Everything: If you go snug up top, try a flared skirt or wide-leg pants. It creates that coveted curvy effect.
Horizontal Stripes: They can widen the look of your hips – in a good way!
Footwear Finesse: Elongate with Heels: A little height can make your frame look even more fabulous.
Do's and Don'ts for Our Rectangle Ladies:
- Emphasize your waist with belts and cinched tops.
- Play with layers.
- Experiment with bold textures and colors.
- Show off those shoulders.
- Wear A-line skirts and flared bottoms.
- Choose heels to elongate your frame.
Don’t Do This:
- Avoid baggy, shapeless clothing.
- Steer clear of low-rise jeans.
- Skip very tapered legs.
- Pass on boxy dresses.
The key isn't just about what you wear, but how you wear it. Confidence makes all the difference. Wear your rectangle shape with pride, and let the world see you shine! | fashion |

Polyester fabric is a synthetic material that is made from polymer fibers. It is known for its durability, versatility, and resistance to wrinkles and shrinking. Polyester fabric has become increasingly popular in the textile industry due to its wide range of applications and favorable characteristics.
One of the defining features of polyester fabric is its strength. The fibers are highly resistant to stretching and tearing, making it a durable choice for various types of clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications. This strength also contributes to the fabric's ability to retain its shape and resist pilling, ensuring that garments made from polyester maintain their appearance over time.
Another key characteristic of polyester fabric is its resistance to moisture. Unlike natural fibers such as cotton or wool, polyester does not absorb water. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor clothing and sportswear, as it can wick away sweat and keep the wearer dry and comfortable. Additionally, polyester fabric dries quickly, reducing the risk of mold or mildew growth.
Polyester fabric is also known for its wrinkle resistance. The fibers have a natural elasticity that allows them to bounce back to their original shape after being stretched or compressed. This means that polyester garments and home textiles tend to stay smooth and wrinkle-free, even after prolonged use or storage.
In terms of care, polyester fabric is relatively low-maintenance. It is machine washable and can withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for regular cleaning. Additionally, polyester fabric is resistant to fading, so colors and prints remain vibrant even after repeated washing.
The versatility of polyester fabric is another reason for its popularity. It can be found in a wide variety of textures, weights, and finishes, allowing designers and manufacturers to create different looks and styles. From lightweight chiffons and satins to heavy-duty upholstery fabrics, polyester offers endless possibilities for creativity and customization.
Furthermore, polyester fabric can be easily blended with other fibers, such as cotton or rayon, to enhance its performance or create unique properties. Blended polyester fabrics can provide additional comfort, breathability, or even flame resistance, depending on the desired outcome.
In summary, polyester fabric is a synthetic material that offers durability, moisture resistance, wrinkle resistance, and versatility. Its strength and ability to retain shape make it suitable for a range of applications, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial uses. With low-maintenance care requirements and a wide array of textures and finishes available, polyester fabric continues to be a popular choice in the textile industry. | fashion |

They have totally pure, healthy products that perform like any of the super popular traditional cosmetics can. Their American made products are formulated with completely natural ingredients and their entire range is vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free.
I recently got my hands on their Eden Palette, part of the new Spring/Summer 2016 collection, a gorgeous compilation of soft and feminine cheek and eye colors. With a matte highlight, called Veil, and a delicate pink blush, Serenity, and four lovely eyeshadow shades this palette is all you need this spring to create a fresh and flirty look. This palette setup is also good for those of us on the go. Simply toss this beauty in your makeup bag and you’ve got a complete look during any vacation or trip.
The eyeshadows in this palette are Trinity (neutral matte beige), Mercy (warm shimmering copper), Genesis (tender brown with shimmer) and Reign (a soft cocoa with shimmer). I really like each of these shades and find the combination of warm and cool to be perfect for someone with neutral undertones like I have. I find that I can get a lot of different looks out of this palette and I love the formula. They’re very soft shades that are so silky, smooth and easy to blend out. They never go on looking too heavy or over the top and instead look effortless and chic.
The matte highlight shades makes a great setting powder/brightener for under the eyes and the blush is the type of color that I absolutely love to wear. It’s a really pretty pink that leans more the cool side of the spectrum and it looks great once applied.
Every single product in this palette wears beautifully throughout the day and doesn’t end up fading or looking patchy. And the palette itself is a great size with a perfect amount of product!
Gabriel De Santino, the genius behind this green beauty brand, is also the mastermind behind ZuZu Luxe (a brand I have yet to try but definitely interests me). Have you tried anything from either brand? I’d love to hear your thoughts and product recommendations! You can check out their website by clicking here.
Make sure to check back on Thursday for a post featuring this palette as modeled by me and swatches. See you then!

Our commitment to quality and producing the finest gloves in the world does limit the amount of new gloves we can create each year. This means that our selection remains intimate, small and elite. Therefore, when you purchase Gizelle Renee gloves, you can rest assured you have a very limited edition piece.
It takes a year from the initial sketched ideas to having a pair of gloves in your hand and you can read on for an example of the time and thought that continues to go into our gloves, where every season’s designs and creations have reasons behind them, and the name always has sentiment attached.
The Persian Pickle Range
The Persian Pickle was a traditional name given to a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Indian, Pakistani and Persian origin as far back as 1888 and its western name derives from the central Scottish town of Paisley. Design scholars call the distinctive shape ‘boteh’ (sometimes ‘botteh’ or ‘buta’ – a Persian word meaning bush, shrub or thicket) and believe it is the convergence of a stylized floral spray and a Cypress tree; a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity.
The first of the Gizelle Renee® 2012/2013 range, ‘The Persian Pickles’ leather gloves are all embellished with this strikingly patterned, floral paisley fabric. The fabric for this season is taken from Liberty’s (Regents Street, London) and dates back to 1963 where Liberty’s in-house designers created these timeless masterpieces.
The leather is sourced from Pittards, the world’s premiere glove tannery, acknowledged for their superior soft Hair sheep Cabretta leather from Ethiopia and other sub-tropical regions and the skins purchased are all by-products of the meat industry in the country of origin and this leather offers all the features required
Its thin tough structure gives strength and maximum dexterity so we can make a first-class leather glove which is hard wearing and comfortable. Our gloves are designed to last a generation or more should you care for them in the way they deserve to be cared for. This seamless assembly of fabric and design is what makes these leather gloves not only quintessentially British but for those that truly appreciate what high-quality material, innovative design and unwavering passion can produce.
The names given to the leather gloves will all have a common letter starting with ‘P’ to represent the paisley range and each name corresponds to a particular characteristic and quality of the glove which the wearer is able to identify with given their shape, design and colour identities.
Paisley Fabric Descriptions:
Mark D – Mark D is a contemporary hand-painted paisley is based on Islamic calligraphy designed by Liberty’s in-house studio in 1999. It will be included in the Classic Tana range in 2004. Mark D is a mixture of pink, coral and pale mint green.
Bourton C – Taken from the Liberty archive collection of paisley style designs, Bourton was redrawn in 1963 before becoming a Classic Tana in 1987. Bourton C is a mix of purple, blue and lilac.
Bourton M – Taken from the Liberty archive collection of paisley style designs, Bourton was redrawn in 1963 before becoming a Classic Tana in 1987. Bourton M is a mix of blue, red and green.
Bourton F – Taken from the Liberty archive collection of paisley style designs, Bourton was redrawn in 1963, becoming a Classic Tana in 1987. Bourton F is a mix of red, pale mint green and sun-kiss yellow with navy outlines.
Bourton B – Bourton is taken from the Liberty archive collection of paisley style designs and was redrawn in 1963 before becoming a Classic Tana in 1987. Bourton B is a mixture of pink, coral and pale blue.
About the Materials
The materials used by Gizelle Renee are all carefully sourced from well-established and highly reputable designers and manufacturers of luxury materials.
Gizelle Renee mainly sources Hairsheep gloving leather from the world’s leading tannery, Pittards plc of Yeovil, Somerset.
Pittards’ leathers are tailored to reflect today’s requirements while retaining their natural beauty, lustre and shine to encapsulate timeless elegance, reflecting the company’s 150 years of experience.
Pittards source their Hairsheep leather from Ethiopia and Nigeria and due to it’s softer and finer yet strong skin it’s regarded as the best leather in the world for dress gloves. Moreover, its durability and natural elasticity allows the fit of the glove to be a true replica of the hand which gives the wearer permanent comfort.
Embellishments and Linings
All embellishments and linings are sourced from the world’s leading designers and fabric manufacturers and are either 100% cotton, wool, silk or unlined.
Gizelle Renee’s signature is the unique embellishments which are specific to each glove. Every glove will hold a fabric embellishment and a splash of texture and/or colour.
The accessories that embellish the gloves are sourced from retailers across England that have handmade timeless pieces to complement our gloves and give them an unique, warm and fashionable forward edge. Each accessory, be it a button, zip, popper or sparkle is independently sourced and picked by the designers for its heritage, quality and uniqueness.
Stitches for Gloves
There are a handful of stitches still used today to create the perfect pair of gloves and it is often dependent on how the glove is to be worn as to what stitch we use.
Inseam: This is especially used for unlined or silk-lined gloves, mainly for women. It is sewn inside out which results in both edges being inside when finished.
Hand Stitched: Here, the stitching is a feature of the glove and clearly visible. It is most popular in men’s gloves and occasionally women’s styles. It takes up to eight hours to stitch one pair of hand-sewn gloves.
Pique: This has an overlapping seam and has one edge showing. It is mainly for ladies gloves.
Whip Stitched/Brosser: A fancy stitch mainly for women’s gloves but not often used. The stitching is a feature and clearly visible.
Prix Seam: This has two edges showing and is mainly used for men’s gloves.
One of a Kind
When Gizelle Renee releases a new glove design for the year, we celebrate this with a limited edition label, GR. This label can also be used for driving gloves as they are smaller and more discrete. | fashion |

I actually love it. But when it starts to get cold, I mean we are ready for it.
So, Fall family portrait season is the perfect opportunity to put together some fun outfits for everyone to get outside and enjoy the new crisp season!
But… if you need a nudge on where to start, let me introduce you to this charming little family of 4! We found a perfect spot in Richardson, Texas for their pictures. A creek, a bridge, some sticks, and a couple of cute little boys made it a perfect evening.
Mom is brilliant in all ways design: home decorating, fashion, landscape and her cuisine.. yes her FOOD is beautifully styled! So when it comes to her family’s portraits she never fails!
This year it was all about glitz and glamour, a handsome GQ fellow, and two dapper boys! The palette is navy blue and brown:
Always start with mom’s choice of outfit. I love how she goes with a belted sparkly dress and tall brown leather boots. You want to choose something that flatters you, and that you feel very confident in. Mom’s choice also sets the color palette, and the mood of the entire look. For Fall and Winter, you also can’t go wrong with jewel tones; ruby red, citrine yellow, sapphire blue, emerald green, and amethyst purple. Look for sweet pastels for Spring and bright fun hues for Summer.
Then move on to the kiddos. Her boys have brown cords, knit navy button up cardigans with perfectly appointed bow ties. The elements of texture here really set off the look. The idea is to choose pieces that tie in the same color palette and neutrals from mom’s choice of outfit. We don’t need perfectly matched hues, but those from the same family will do the trick. If you’ve chosen a neutral palette, you can mix things up with texture. Fluffy vests, tights, snappy suspenders, and soft corduroys or velvet can really add interest.
Dad gets styled last, but not least! Dad is sporting a very sophisticated and sleek suit with a tie and dark brown shoes. And a big smile, don’t forget that 🙂
Top everything off with some fun accessories! Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, belts, hats, scarves, ties, and bow ties can really add fun and personality to your session! Just watch out for anything too chunky or scene-stealing, you don’t want anything to distract from your connection together. Rather, you want it to add a finishing touch. This is a good time to ditch your every day wrist watch and add a dainty bracelet instead. And make sure you remember to wear your wedding rings, and any other special family pieces you want to be in images to pass down one day.
Aren’t they just actually perfect? *sigh*

This refresh of our classic tee is the first time we've offered the silhouette as a more minimal outline. Traditionally, aluminum is the symbol for a 10th anniversary so we've chosen to print the design with a limited edition metallic ink. Thanks for exploring the Upper Peninsula with us for ten wonderful years.
This hoodie has an unmatched softness and has a lighter weight than our traditional hoodie.

Working with a great company will give you the option of customising your wig or buying one off the peg that is already made and ready to be worn. This will give you the ability to either create your wig to match your style and preferences or to have one quickly when you need one in a hurry.
There are a number of considerations when choosing a wig. Each of these will change the overall appearance as well as the final price of the wig that you purchase and can include:
- Length of style: long, medium, or short
- Inside cap of wig: part head-wefted with hand-knotted top, monofilament top with skin partings, hand-knotted all over, or even full-head wefted
- Colour of the hair
- Texture of the hair
- Synthetic or human hair wigs
It’s important to practice good wig care so that your wig will last for a long time. A great company that sells Avon wigs will provide you with information about how to care for your specific wig as wigs made with different materials or of different lengths and textures will require different care.
If you think of your wig as in investment, then you will be more willing to purchase a great-looking wig that will last a long time as well as devote the time and money needed to care for it. As long as you take care of your wig, it will look great and enhance your appearance for a long time. | fashion |

http://www.morehairextensions.com/ | 2015-07-28T15:18:17 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042981969.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002301-00195-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.965051 | 1,879 | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2015-32__0__183180558 | en | The Sources of all hair extensions are either natural, or synthetic. Natural ones come from natural human hair. This is far more expensive than synthetic, because it is in short supply. Someone had to grow their hair out, cut it, package it up for distribution, and provide it to a hair extension manufacturer or seller for resale. This makes it much more valuable than its synthetic counterpart, which can be produced on demand for a wide variety of synthetic fibers.
Years ago, the huge diffrence in quality between natural human hair and hair that was made in a factory was readily apparent; synthetic versions simply did not look “real”, even to the untrained eye.
Technology has changed over the years though, and hair extensions are no exception. Now, synthetic hair extensions are indistinguishable from real hair to all but the most trained eye. Quality has risen, while pricing has fallen. Now, sales of synthetic hair vastly exceed sales of natural hair for use in extensions.
Hair extensions can be purchased online from a variety of online hair extension retailers, but are more commonly purchased directly from hair dressers or salons that actually attach them. While lower prices for hair extensions could like be found online than would be seen in a local hair salon, purchasing the actual physical hair extension is only part of the process; it still needs to be attached to the natural hair. Since most people need a professional hair dresser or salon to integrate the hair extension with their own hair, they often purchase directly from that salon.
That’s not to say you are going to get the best price on hair extensions by purchasing from your local salon. The convenience factor of purchasing locally is nice, you can physically touch and see the hair extensions (especially important if you are trying to color match it to your own natural hair), and not having to wait or pay for shipping is certainly nice, but you probably aren’t going to save as much as you would ordering hair extensions online. The costs of keeping a brick-and-mortar local salon or hair extension store open are much higher than the costs incurred by an online extension store. Large bulk stores like you would find on eBay or Amazon are going to have a purchasing power and selection that is going to be unmatched by any local store, no matter how big the city you live in. For some, the savings outweigh the convenience, especially if they already know the exact color and model of the hair extensions they need because they have ordered previously.
What are some of your favorite places to order your hair extensions?
While most of us wouldn’t consider hair extensions to be a particularly news-worthy subject, on occasion articles and stories related to hair extensions do make it into news reports and updates. For example, anybody who has complained about the high cost of many natural hair extensions can relate to the recent news story about Atlanta thieves robbing a salon for high-value hair extensions. The break-in was estimated to have netted $30,000 worth of the light, easy to carry hair extensions that were targeted. Additional robberies have been reported in Louisiana and Texas. The high value and ease of resale of most hair extensions appears to make them attractive targets for thieves, and salons with expensive hair extension inventory should be cautious.
In a surprising twist, it seems that fishermen are not too happy about the hair extension craze. Apparently, insatiable demand for feather hair extensions has resulted in a shortage of particular types of feathers that are mostly used in fishing lures, as salons and hair extension manufacturers buy up all the inventory of these feathers, resulting in high prices and shortages of these feathers. The feather hair extension has been driven partly by new American Idol Judge Steven Tyler’s new look when appearing on the popular network TV show wearing his trademark brightly-colored feather extensions.
And, lest anyone forget America’s most infamous spoiled heiress, it appears that recently Paris Hilton was sued for using a competitor’s extensions, when she was under contract to promote a different brand of hair extension.

The demographics of people who use hair extensions spans all races, ages, and nationalities. While the vast majority of consumers who purchase hair extensions come from the United States, extensions are also popular in the UK, Western Europe, and Asia.
Users of hair extensions are almost exclusively female. It is rare to find males who use hair extensions, and even rarer to find salons or hair extension products that cater to a male clientele. Most hair extension aficionados are women, typically with plenty of hair of their own, that simply wish to extend their hairstyle to lengths not easily attainable through natural growth. In a matter of about an hour at a hair salon, a woman can add as much hair length as she would over two years if she waited for her own hair growth. Extensions become a quick and inexpensive solution to gaining dramatic locks of hair that blend naturally with a woman’s own hair.
Among different ethnic groups, African American women represent a large percentage of women who elect to use hair extensions. For some African women, the extension is either attached directly to their natural wavy hair in a bonding process, or their natural hair is straightened first, and then a straighter-textured hair extension is attached. The natural texture, often referred to as jheri curl, is attached via a different approach than straighter hair extensions that are applied only to processed hair.
Hair extensions can be purchased online from a variety of online hair extension retailers, but are more commonly purchased directly from hair dressers or salons that actually attach them. While lower prices for hair extensions could like be found online than would be seen in a local hair salon, purchasing the actual physical hair extension is only part of the process; it still needs to be attached to the natural hair. Since most people need a professional hair dresser or salon to integrate the hair extension with their own hair, they often purchase directly from that professional. In some instances, salons will only attach hair extensions that have been purchased directly from them. Whether that is so they can assure consistent quality and make sure sure the extensions are kinds that they have experience working with, or just to ensure that they make a profit on the resell of those hair extensions, may vary between different businesses.
Certain types of hair extensions, called clip-in or clip-on hair extensions, do not require a professional to attach them to existing hair. These types are much more popular to be purchased online or from a retail store, because no particular expertise of a hairdresser or salon is required to use them. These hair extensions are more commonly purchased online than those that require professional attachment. Since they can be attached by any layperson, they often do not last as long as professional-integrated hair extensions, and many people prefer not to use these types of clip-on extensions because they do not look as natural and are more easily recognized as being extensions instead of natural hair.
Hair extensions come in 2 different versions, natural (made from real human hair) and synthetic (manufactured from synthetic fibers). Each come with their own relative pros and cons.
Natural human hair comes from a donor, someone that has “cut off” their own hair. Typically it is sold to a reseller of hair extensions, one who may offer both natural and synthetic hair extensions for sale. Natural hair extensions have the obvious advantage that they are actual human hair, they look and move just like natural hair would, they can be styled using heat or chemicals and react as normal does. A disadvantage to natural hair extensions is cost; It is much more expensive to procure real human hair for use in extensions than it is to manufacture a synthetic product in a lab. It may also be difficult to correctly color match natural hair to the existing hair of the recipient, since even slight variations in color can be quite noticeable when hair is lengthened with extensions. For more information about natural types of hair extensions, visit the artificial hair integration wiki
The term “hair extensions” is used to describe any method of adding non-natural hair to a person’s own hair to make it longer. These extensions are also sometimes referred to as artificial hair integrations, or more commonly, hair weaves.The extension may be made up of human hair from another person, or artificial hair fibers that look like natural hair. The hair extensions are usually woven or otherwise attached to the natural hair to appear natural. They can be made from a variety of synthetic ingredients, which are much cheaper than actual human hair extensions, and can be dyed to mimic the user’s natural hair color.
While hair extensions can be used to conceal lost hair or thinning hair, they are separate from wigs or toupees in that they are attached to the user’s existing hair, extending its length.They are not permanent, and usually need to be maintained or replaced over time. Different methods of attaching the hair extensions, from clips to weaving and even adhesives, have different maintenance requirements. Most hair extensions are applied by trained cosmetologists. | fashion |

I decided to make my own and Lamb 1887 was born’. – Charlotte Lamb, Owner Lamb 1887
Inspired by the old school glamour of Sophia Loren and Jackie O, Lamb 1887 bags, favored by style mavens Pippa Middleton, Fearne Cotton and Millie Mackintosh, deliver timeless elegance with modern updates and on- trend colors. Founded by Charlotte Lamb, the heir to a fourth generation leather footwear empire, a business originally established by her great grandfather in 1887, an artisan cobbler.
Lamb 1887 bags are made of the softest leathers carefully sourced from the highest quality tanneries across the globe. With beauty being as important on the inside as the outside each bag is lined with luxurious suede, proving the exceptional workmanship that goes in to each and every one. Working in the City, Charlotte was inspired to create Lamb 1887 after struggling to find elegant bags at an affordable price. The brand draws on both her heritage of the 125 year old design and manufacturing business and her love of City style.

Published 6:30 am, Tuesday, February 24, 2004
American designers agree on one thing for next fall: The fur will fly.
Nearly every show during Fashion Week featured a touch of mink, fox or sable. Some designers went all the way, with full-length fur coats, mink ponchos, capelets, shawls and wraps. Others added only a touch of fur to collars or along the hems and borders of coats.
Some featured brightly dyed furs in electric blue, while others kept to the natural look.
Some furs were fashioned in a retro way -- like something your mother or grandmother wore -- while others served as sexy, sometimes midriff-baring accessories.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals took notice and staged a protest on the steps leading to the tents at Bryant Park, where most shows were held. PETA spokeswoman Lisa Franzetta said she believes the designers who showed fur are out of sync with their customers.
"A lot of fur we're actually seeing is fake fur," she said. "It's a growing trend."
