Dressing the long sleeved mini dress

When you think of a mini dress it's always one that is either short sleeved, sleeveless or tube like. But now we have the long sleeved mini dress. It's a lovely find that comes in various designs colors and even material. Wear with heels or even knee length boots that compliment or contrast with the color of the dress. Accessorize as you like. This look is for the bold who do not mind showing some leg, mostly adorned for evening events like cocktails. For daytime wear have it in bright colors.
The style is a great way to show off your figure without exposing too much skin.

New Fashion the Scarf Dress

The scarf dress is a beautiful flowing dress that fits all sizes and can be accessorized with minimum jewelry to achieve a classy and elegant look. Since it is light its best worn during summer for brunches with your family or friends, a day at the beach or even for those hot evening nights when you are going out.
They are very colorful and their prints stand out.
The best part of these scarf dresses is that even full figured ladies can wear them as they are free and flow down the body very perfectly.

Hairstyle comeback the Bun Hairstyle


A bun (also known as a bobtail) is a type of hairstyle, typically worn by women, where the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited and wrapped in a circular coil around itself, typically on the back of the head or neck. They can either be secured with a hairpiece, a hairnet and bobby pins. They may be tightly gathered or slightly messier and more informal. Buns, like ponytails, may cause headaches if worn too tight or up too high on the head.
Men are not often seen wearing them, but they can do so. This may be because they are using it in a practical way such as in sport (like samurais) or using it in a formal way.
 Also known as a " ballet bun," this hairstyle is used by nearly all female ballet dancers and some male ballet dancers, with a few notable exceptions. Ballet dancers often use hairnets and bobby pins to make the bun as tight and neat as possible. This is especially important while turning, as loose buns may fall out and the bun has to look presentable.
 Basically, bun hairstyles are just twisting the hair in such a way that it is coiled around itself.

Beyonce’s New Scent...Heat



Heat is the first fragrance by attractive and talented Beyonce and it arrives on the market in February 2010. Name of the fragrance was inspired by Beyonce's tour and performances. Colour of flacon and liquid was chosen after Beyonce's favourite colour – red, with a wish to look like fire with antique details.

Beyonce's temperament was depicted through the whole concept of the fragrance, from name and design to composition created in cooperation with perfumers of the house of Givaudan - Claude Dir and Olivier Gillotin. Top notes of Heat are decorated with red vanilla-orchid, magnolia, neroli and peach. A passionate heart offers honeysuckle, almond and musky cream, while a base finishes with sequoia wood, tonka and amber.

Summer Jewelry Trends Cocktail Rings / Oversized Rings



Cocktail rings are big over sized rings that come in various sizes and designs. They are called cocktail because most of them time they are worn for cocktail parties in the evening with glamorous outfits.
Any design goes and you can choose colors to match your outfit or you can contrast and color clash and since the rings are big accessories on their own wear one at a tome so as not to crowd your fingers.
The bigger the better, just be sure it's not so big that it slides off your finger. Flaunt this trend with oversized looks of jewels.

Laddered Stockings are all the Rage


It used to be that when your stockings got old and ripped mostly by accident while trying to put them on, you would throw them away and get new ones. Well in 2011-2012, it seems that is not the case anymore. Ripped stockings or tights have become a trend that is a force to reckon with. They have been seen on the catwalks, on celebrities and even on the streets.
To get the trend you can either rip your stockings manually, or accidentally on purpose or even get them in various shops.
Wearing the laddered stockings trend is tricky though, because you can either look chic or plain tacky like something got caught up in your stockings, ripped it and you did not notice.
Laddered stockings can be worn with a mini skirt, dress or even a knee length outfit. However the laddered trend should not be worn to the office unless either you are the boss or the company is really liberal in the dress code.
Check it out.
