Peek-a-Boot – Top Ten Picks!

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Fall is just around the corner, so bring on the boots! I’m not talking about boring, rubber wellingtons, I mean designer boots that scorch the top fashion runways of the world. Boots by Christian Louboutin, Juicy Couture, L.A.M.B, Nine West, and Jimmy Choo speak oodles about your style when you step out in the snow wearing them. You don’t have to hang up your boots even if you live in a sunny province – simply go for ankle boots or get a pair (or two!) in light and pastel shades.

As for wearing them, it’s easy to go wrong unless you keep up with the trends. Ankle boots are a complete no-no with long skirts. Stick to skinny denims, short skirts, or leggings when you wear them. Mid-calf length boots are classic picks that work well all through the year. Bring out your thigh-highs and faux fur-lined boots in winter and relish the snug warmth they give. To toughen up your look, try zipper boots or fierce, caged boots. For a girly spin, boots with feminine ruffles and bows take the cake! Here’s a quick style tip – for maximum impact, go easy on other accessories when you wear boots.

Be it boots in luscious suede or rich leather, they’re always undeniably chic! As you would have guessed by now, I’m partial to boots. So, take a look at my top ten ‘bootylicious’ picks, which one do you like?

Sexy Tattoos for Today’s Women!

Friday, June 18th, 2010

You would often opt for a sparkling piece of jewelry or an expensive outfit to accentuate your positive assets. But did you ever know that tattoos can embellish your looks to such an extent that you will never go unnoticed?

Tattoos are the current worldwide fashion fad. Getting a sexy tattoo done on your body will increase your sex appeal to great heights! It is possibly the best thing that you can do to express your personality. Not only do they spice up your looks, but also speak of your passion for fashion.

“Where on my body should I get a tattoo done?” – The most frequently asked question by nearly all women who crave for that sexy look. It is an eminently sensible question since a tattoo is a permanent fixture on your skin for the rest of your life. A tattoo can look really sensuous only if the right part of your body is chosen to get it done. So where on your body can you get tattooed?

Ankle & Foot

Ankle & foot

Choosing the foot as a place for tattooing is becoming increasingly popular these days. You can think of wearing an open sandal or a flip flop to make your tattoo visible and look great on you. Small designs like flowers and butterflies can blend well with the shape of your foot. But remember that tattooing on your foot where you have a lot of nerves can indeed be painful. Even your tattooist may say ‘no’ to tattoo on this highly sensitive part.

Shoulder

Shoulder

Yet another sexy location on your body to try out your tattoo experiments! Have you ever noticed Angelina Jolie having a Buddhist prayer tattoo on her shoulder blade? In fact, celebrities’ obsession for tattoos is one of the reasons why people go crazy for the same. You can wear a backless or one-sided shoulder top to show off your gorgeous shoulder tattoo.

Lower Back

Lower back

Do you wish to emphasize your feminine curves? Then you should go for tattooing on your lower back, the spot that is termed the sexiest of all! Dolphin tattoos, tribal tattoos, or even butterfly tattoos on your lower back can turn you into an alluring creation. Next time you get to watch Danica Patrick wearing a bikini or a low waist trouser, don’t miss the American flag tattoo that she has on her lower back.

Rib

Rib

If you want to accentuate your curves, a tattoo on the rib cage is the way to go! Your tattooist will be more than interested to tattoo here as it is the apt spot to showcase his creativity and imagination. Despite being one of the most painful spots of tattooing, most women go for it since it accentuates the really sexy part of their body.

Lower Stomach

lower stomach

Are you someone who is proud of having flat abs? Don’t you think that your best asset, which you feel utterly confident of, deserves to be flaunted? Try tattooing on your lower stomach with small feminine designs, like heart tattoos, star tattoos, and many more. They are best exhibited when you wear a bikini or a DLJ.

You need not necessarily go for permanent tattoos. If you want to keep up with growing trends, you can always try equally alluring temporary tattoos.

Perfect Hairstyles for the Ultimate Crowning Glory!!

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Have you ever flinched at your image in the mirror after getting a haircut? The hairstyle that looked adorable on the model in the magazine might not be looking good on you. Where could you have gone wrong?

What might look sensational on Angelina Jolie or Cameron Diaz might look disastrous on you!! Not because you are any less pretty, but the shape of your face or your features may not blend in with the hairstyle chosen. All you need to do is to identify that perfect hairstyle that will accentuate the best features of your face!

Read on to know some of the common face shapes and the hairstyles that would suit them.

Round Face

Round

A round chin, soft and non-angular features are common to a classic round face. Go for hairstyles that will add length to your face. Long hairstyles with wispy and tapered ends, short blunt haircuts, or bob-cuts will look great on you. If you like to sport bangs in your hairstyle, make sure they are long and swept side to the face for that cute and sexy look!

Round Face

Square Face

Square

If you have a square face, you are lucky! Many would kill to have that enviable strong and angular jaw line that you do! And by featuring a great hairstyle you can add the oomph factor to your looks!

You can go for long hairstyles with layers or waves, or tapered bobs to soften the edges of your jaw line for a balancing effect. Wavy hair will make you look stunning! Avoid blunt bangs and go for long side-swept bangs instead.

Square Face

Oval Face

Oval

If you are blessed with an oval face, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to styling your hair! You are that lucky damsel who can try out all those hairstyles that others can only afford to dream about! Long, super short, straight, wavy, even edgy or pixie! Try anything. It’s your call! But also keep in mind that any hairstyle that adds height on top of your head is a strict no-no! And, if you have a very long face, avoid super long styles and go for shoulder-length cuts.

Oval Face

Heart Face

Heart

Do you have a very prominent chin and wide cheekbones or forehead? If yes, you belong to this category. Glamour queens Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, and Katie Holmes also belong to this category, and if you must know, they have always been spotted with great hairstyles.

Choppy layers, long or short wispy bangs or even fringes, chin-length bobs, and shoulder-length cuts can be very flattering on you. If you have curly hair, consider getting them tapered at the ends or leave your tresses long and flowy for the “dreamy look”!

Heart Face

So, next time you think of going in for a new hairstyle, analyze your face shape and run a check on all the possible hairstyles that suit your face shape. Get the one that appeals the most to you and step out looking ravishingly gorgeous!

What Eyes Can Tell You!

Monday, May 17th, 2010

“The eyes are the mirror of the soul” is a Yiddish Proverb. There can be many an argument about this statement but the fact is irrefutable that eyes are one of the most attractive features on a woman’s face. So, don’t ever fail to accentuate them and show them off to advantage. Eye shadows are an integral part of eye makeup. You can choose to pick the shade depending on the look you want to achieve or your skin tone. Choosing the right colours in eye shadow will make your eyes look bigger and luminous.

Blue eyes

Blue eye

Eyes as blue as the clear sky!! We recommend orange based hues to give those blue eyes extra intensity. Consider eye shadows like copper, peach, coral, bronze and rust to make your eyes stand out.

Brown eyes

Brown eyes are versatile, so doe-eyed women can experiment with many colours. Women with those pretty brown eyes can try eye-shadows in green, champagne, bronze, gold, brown and blue.

Black eyes

If you have those dark as midnight eyes, then your eyes will look stunning in shades of plum, raisin and grey.

Hazel eyes

Hazel eye

Women with hazel eyes can go for neutral shades. You can also get away with rose, purples and pastel pink. Anything in the purple family like lilac, plum, violet or eggplant will also look great on you.

You are just a few brushes away from creating those beautiful pair of eyes, so pick the right shade of eye shadow and get to work!!

Fashion Tips for Women

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

When you choose a dress, don’t choose one just because it looks nice. Select a dress that best suits your body type.


• If you’re pear shaped (generous hips and thighs), choose dresses that are not too tight at the bottom. You should go for dresses with eye-catching details on the upper body of the dress and keep those pleats and gathers at the bottom to a minimum.

Women's-Fashion-Tips

 


• For curvy women, I would suggest clothes that flatter your shape instead of hide it. After all, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Get clothes that fit you perfectly. Not too tight nor too loose; let it be just right. The help of a tailor can go a long way for curvy women. It might be a little more expensive and time-consuming, but the results make every penny worth it.

Women's-Fashion-Tips2


• Flabby arms and wide shoulders? Don’t worry. To hide those problem areas, wear a jacket or a dress with long sleeves. Make sure the sleeves are not skin tight. If you try to use a shawl to hide your arms, it will make you look heavier on top. Don’t wear sleeves that are too big or fluffy either. They will make your shoulders look wider.

Women's-Fashion-Tips3


• Women who are petite can wear dresses with vertical stripes to create the illusion of height. If you have lean legs, knee length dresses or dresses slightly above the knee are the most flattering. Avoid horizontal stripes, wide belts and dresses that are calf length if you are petite. They will emphasize your short stature.

All these tips plus the right attitude will make it easy for you too look good every time you step out the door, no matter which body type you have.

Health Benefits of Getting a Pedicure

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Who doesn’t like to sit back and relax while their feet are being pampered? Not only will you feel relaxed, you’ll no longer be hiding your feet in your boots but showing them off in stylish stilettos.

No doubt your feet will look great after a foot care pedicure, but more importantly, there are so many health benefits associated with a pedicure. Of all the parts of the body, your feet endure quite a lot. Long hours of standing, discomfort of wearing tiny airless shoes, shoe bites, and the effect of all those harsh chemicals that you apply when you have corn, wart, or callous. You might also have to contend with puffy sore feet and legs due to several factors like daily over use, PMS, pregnancy, post-flight fatigue, and long training runs. The list is endless.

The best way to treat your tired legs is to go in for a pedicure. The term pedicure comes from Latin words ‘pedis’ and ‘cura,’ which mean foot and care respectively. Foot reflexology used during a foot massage does wonders for you. It improves the blood circulation and also loosens the muscles in your foot and legs. Your whole body along with your feet will feel relaxed with the stimulated blood flow to your feet and legs. That is why a pedicure or a foot massage is a must not just for healthy feet but for a healthy body too.

Nail care is also an important aspect of a pedicure. Nails are cut, clipped, and cleaned so that they don’t grow inwards and cause infection. The pedicurist then removes the dead skin cells to prevent bunions and corns. It also lets new skin cells to emerge and make your feet soft and smooth.

The problem with getting a pedicure at a salon is that you might get nasty infections through unsanitized salon tools. The best way to deal with this is to have a pedicure kit of your own. SaniManiPedi has a pedicure kit to keep your feet safe. Get a pedicure and a foot massage today for gorgeous feet and step out feeling all rejuvenated.
