A leap year (or intercalary or bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) in order to keep the calender year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year.
February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called leap year day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the earth does not orbit around the sun in precisely 365 days.

The duties and costs of being a bridesmaid are parsed out between a bride and her attendants in a variety of ways. Since modern bridesmaids, unlike their historical counterparts, can no longer rely on having their clothes and travel expenses paid for by the bride's family, and are sometimes even told they must pay for parties that the bride wants to have before the wedding, it has become customary for the bride to present the bridesmaids with gifts as a sign of gratitude for the support and financial commitment that comes with their roles. It has become equally customary for women who are invited to serve as bridesmaids to first ask about the amount of time, energy, and money that the bride expects from them before accepting this position, and to decline or resign if this is more than they will be able to give.
Graffiti has been found in very old cities. For example, in the Roman Empire, people wrote messages and drew caricatures on walls. Graffiti is also found in many places. Some of people do murals of graffiti rather than just writing one mark in a location. It was used for good instead of vandalism. Probably the simplest graffiti is when a person cuts (or carves) the name of a lover on a tree with a knife.
Today, many graffiti are very complicated mixtures of writing and pictures. They are sometimes made by gangs and applied with spray-paint to buildings, bridges, street signs, and other areas. These are often signed with a tag (in graffiti slang, a signature), which is a shape special to an artist or group.
Boyfriend jeans and trousers are over sized jeans and trousers worn by women. Made immensely popular by the Hollywood hottie Katie Holmes, this is a trend which seems to be going really strong for Spring 2011, precisely for the reason that it looks super comfortable, roomy and airy!
What to wear with boyfriend jeans
As is the unspoken rule with most fashion items, team loose with fitting and vice versa. If you are wearing baggy, loose fitting boyfriend’s jeans, team them with well fitting shirts, vests and tee shirts to present a relaxed, comfortable yet feminine look, which is carefully thought out and not at all shabby or masculine!
How should they fit?
The fit of these jeans is relaxed, and while they sit low but are fitted at the waist, and are loose and relaxed all through the butt, thigh and leg area. Very often these are folded at the bottom into a loose cuff to further accentuate the casual air about them.
If you are not getting a pair of jeans which are classified as ‘Boyfriend jeans’, choose a relaxed fit in a size which is one bigger than your regular size. Ensure that while it fits at the waist, it sits a little lower than usual and the thigh and leg area are loose and roomier. Do not choose sizes which are bigger than one size as they may be too loose fitting and you may end up looking shabby.
For a sleek, modern suit different from traditional men's suits, why not try a slim-fit suit on for size? Cut narrower in the waist and legs, a slim-fit suit gives you a fashionable, fitted style perfect for the office, a church function or a more formal occasion. Read on for tips on buying men's slim suits that flatter your body and are versatile enough for many different events.

- Get the skinny.
The light skinny suit is what is going to make or break you this summer. Don't even think about walking into a Manhattan lounge without one on. You want respect and you don't want your time wasted. These are lightweight and are easily used with other pairs. Jet black if you don't mind the Bond references all night (this may not bother you), but Dark jeans and a Skinny Black Blazer doesn't dock you points. Skinny. Ties. Only. Unless you're in a business meeting or wearing a 3 piece/ie sweater, Fat ties are a not.
If you didn't notice, thin is in. Especially now. If you haven't done much about your body all winter, you might want to squeeze in a month of working out. These outfits are not too expensive (Zara 49.95-69.95 tops/pants). Spending on a budget this season will not be hard. Shorts paired with Boat Sweater or even a light blazer is not going to kill you. Chic and clean is what it's about. Stay simple, but exude echelon.
