Winter Fashion Etiquette
by: Sher Matsen
Winter can be a busy time ? with Christmas looming, New Year's Eve to celebrate and Valentines Day just around the corner you're going to need to be prepared. So what?s the right winter fashion etiquette for the occasion?
Get together in the near future?
A re-union? Try something in a festive jewel tone and be sure to finish your look with some fabulous shoes and hand bag and don?t forget the jewelry. Add earrings and a necklace to finish your look.
A baptism ? you?re the godmother? Try a soft flowing skirt and a cap sleeve blouse. Or how about a nice light shift topped with a print jacket. You?ll look stylish but you won?t be over done. Pay attention to the shoes on your feet ? classy but comfort is important because you?ll be standing for a while. Add some light jewelry, a pair of baguette studs and a chain and you?ll be ready.
A date for high tea? Although the formality of white gloves is gone it is still important to dress nicely. Do not wear jeans or a sloppy shirt. If the high tea is an informal meeting then pants with a nice light jacket is spring colors is appropriate. If high tea is to honor someone then step it up a notch with a nice light skirt and top, or a nice light dress with jacket. Some funky jewelry for the casual get together or more elegant jewelry for the more formal get together.
Cocktails? There are plenty of options for cocktails. A light weight dress in spring colors with short sleeves, dress it up a little with three quarter sleeves. Go for a fun print, v necklines are great, and don?t forget the finishing touches with jewelry. Try some dangle or chandelier earrings. Add a tennis bracelet or bead necklace, some fun but sexy shoes and your set.
Wedding? Make certain you?re not resembling the bride or taking away from her day by outdoing her. Contrary to popular belief black is an acceptable color for a wedding. Decide what you?re wearing to the wedding based on the type of wedding ? is it formal choose a formal dress. Semi casual ? skirt and blazer. Beach wedding ? something soft and flowing. Add appropriate jewelry, shoes, and handbag.
Christmas Something comfy but semi-formal is always great. Depending on the type of festivities and where you'll be choose appropriate footwear. Slip on flats are nice around the house or you can choose a sassy pair of heels. Don't forget to make your handbag say "Merry Christmas."
New Years Eve This season is filled with soft flowing feminine looks. So here?s a perfect time to be a girl. Try an ankle length tiered dress with silky layers in a romantic print. Or perhaps a long flowing skirt accented with a fitted top and cashmere sweater. Add a pair of heels and a small matching bag. Don?t forget to finish your look with your jewelry ? soft colored stone dangle earrings and a teardrop pendant would be perfect!
Evening Out? Pick your favorite pants, skirt, or dress, add a bolero or cardigan over a tank or sleeveless blouse you?ll be ready for your evening out. Make your bolero or cardigan your focal point. Add some understated jewelry and your ready to go.
Whether it?s a day at the beach, a board room meeting, a cocktail party, or a formal event. Dress to impress, complete your look with jewelry and accessories such as shoes, hand bag, or belt. Make your fashion statement!

Wedding Dresses ? The Latest Trends!
by: Elsie Gilbert
Wedding dresses are such an opportunity for any bride to show their unique sense of style and to really make a fashion statement. Gone are the days of the plain ?meringue? style wedding dresses with a little cute well-placed bow; now we are daring to be different!
In fact, one of the latest trends is to offer wedding dresses that can be used again. Not only is this a great idea from a budget point of view, but it is also reflective of the simple lines that are part of the modern trend in wedding dresses. Arguably, this fashion is due to the ever increasing age of first time brides as well as the large number of second weddings.

Getting Diva-fied: Picking the Perfect Dress for Your Wedding
You?ve dreamt of this day since the days of Barbie and Ken?now that it is finally here, the possibilities are endless! Okay, so you can?t go down aisle with your mother?s satin sham as a veil with her formal lace tablecloth trailing behind as a train. We know. We asked.
But what you can do is assess the body you have now, prepare for the body you want on your wedding and pick the dress that has been waiting for you every since you said, ?Yes!?

Top 10 Tips To Look Great At Christmas Parties Whatever Your Size
Top 10 Tips To Look Great At Christmas Parties Whatever Your Size
by: Janice Elizabeth Small
1. Fake it until you make it
If your flesh is looking pale and pasty, get a fake tan to look great for the party season. Somehow golden brown looks slimmer than pale and uninteresting.
2. Have a make-over
Treat yourself to a make-up lesson so your party face looks glamorous and up-to-date, especially if you've been wearing the same tired old make-up for years. The right make-up can take inches off your face and draw all attention to your eyes rather than your size.
3. Beat the bloat
For a few days before any big event avoid alcohol and caffeine, and drink lots of water to flush out toxins. Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and eat only small quantities of other carbohydrate foods, keeping to wholegrain rather than white varieties of bread, rice or pasta. If you can afford it, try a body wrap treatment before a special occasion...

She?s Hot in the Road?
She?s Hot in the Road?
by: Maricon Williams
Every bystander that saw you wishes that they could also have a girl like yours and they exclaimed ?She?s definitely hot on the road?? and then you smile and said ?Wish on brothers?this girl is mine??
Have you ever wondered why most men refer to their bikes as a she or their girl? In order to satisfy my curiosity I asked some of the boys in the neighborhood with bikes why they have to refer to their bikes as their girl. And these are some of their explanations:
Boy 1: I call my bike my girl because it?s beautiful and shapely like you girls. ? I don?t know about this but if I?m compared to a bike I definitely would not want to be compared with those bulky big bikes. Just think of what that implies.
Boy 2: My bike is my girl friend because she?s hot?! ? Again, I don?t know what to think of this comparison but it must be because exhaust of motorcycles are hot when you get in contact with it...
