Bridal Gown Designs For Pregnant Brides

Long ago, bridal gowns are made for brides in different shapes and sizes. It was rare to design gowns for woman with bugling bellies. Now, you would see Brooklyn bridal gowns for pregnant brides. Truly, there is no limit of what the fashion world can offer to different brides.

A bride is still a bride despite the changing body shape. She still deserves to look her best during the most memorable and special day of her life. If you are a pregnant bride, you can choose to have it custom-made by dressmaker. This way, you will have control of how you want to look with your gown.

Here are some tips on how to design your gown and still look gorgeous.

• Choose maternity bridal gowns that cuts right below the bust line. With the popularity of baby doll styles or empire waist dresses, this design does not bluntly reveal the bulging belly.
• Design the gown in such a way that the embroidery and bead works are just within the bust. It creates a visual balance of the gown. You can also put accent just below the bust line.
• When meeting with the couturier or dressmaker, wear the shoes that you want to wear on your wedding day. This way, you will get the feel of your overall appearance. Since the heels would be in one to two inches, your couturier would be able to evaluate designs that will not make you look short and heavy.

Now that you have this design in mind, you can still look like a queen on your wedding day. And that is what matters.

Personalized Baby Clothing - The Perfect New Baby Gift and a Stylish Keepsake

A new baby comes with much joy, and most parents to be, friends, and family members enjoy buying gifts for the new arrival. Baby clothes are a popular gift, partially because they are so cute and fun to shop for and partially because they are a necessity every new parent needs. Most new babies are celebrated before they are even born, through a baby shower, which is a prime opportunity for gift giving. Personalized baby clothing is a great gift idea for any new parent and baby, as it is an important aspect of every new baby's needs and will turn into a cute keepsake for years to come.

Personalized baby clothing is any type of baby apparel, hats, shirts, onesies, bibs, blankets, even cloth diapers, that are printed, monogrammed, or embroidered with a baby's name or initials. Some clothing also includes the baby's date of birth, time of birth, and weight. These details make personalized baby clothing a cherished keepsake for parents and then for children once they have grown into adults. The only downside to purchasing this type of clothing is that the garment cannot be passed down to siblings, given away or sold with other un-personalized items. This disadvantage is really insignificant, however, when you take into account the fact that a piece of personalized baby clothing will be a cherished keepsake for years to come, and because you can usually get this type of clothing at an affordable price it is easy to create similar clothing for more than one sibling instead of passing down favorite outfits.

There is a huge array of options both online and in catalogues as well as some in retail stores. If you are looking for clothing for your new bundle of joy or as a gift, there are many options to choose from although you will be able to find the most variety and even exercise your own creativity online. Shopping for personalized baby clothing online is one of the easies ways to find a personalized baby gift or to shop for your own child. There is a multitude of online store that offer personalized baby clothing and they usually make ordering easy, you pick the garment or item you like and include your personalization details in your order. Your order is then delivered right to your door. Shopping online is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to shop, you don't have to fight traffic, crowds, or spend money on gas. Shopping for personalized baby clothing through catalogues is also easy and convenient but the selection will be significantly less than that of the internet.

If you like to shop in retail stores and steer clear of internet shopping, you can still find many personalized baby clothing options. Many children's boutiques offer personalization services for items purchased in their store, many times at little or no extra cost. Even if the retail store (or even internet store) where you purchased your baby clothing does not offer personalization, you can always take your purchase to a local embroiderer or silk screened and have it personalized for a few dollars.

Theme Park Survival Strategies

It's a summer ritual. Millions of families visit theme parks, entering fresh and rested and emerging short-tempered, sweaty and exhausted. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way for your family.

The first step in avoiding theme-park burnout is finding accommodations as close to the park as possible. That will enable your family to take a rest break during the hottest part of the day without losing too much time. Most parks will stamp your ticket to allow readmission and since many theme parks stay open later in the summer, an afternoon rest will allow you to enjoy the park during the cooler evening hours.

Another step in the planning process is to examine park maps and websites to determine which attractions you want to visit beforehand. This saves a lot of standing around peering at maps and trying to figure out what to do next. Be sure to involve your children in the planning process so that they can add their favorites to the list. Once you've determined what you want to do, develop a rough schedule and a walking route that will avoid backtracking.

The night before your visit, pack your supply kits. Each member of the family should have a small fanny pack containing their park tickets, a cell phone or two-way radio (these can be rented at many parks), a couple of energy bars, identification, a small tube of sunscreen, a park map and a small washcloth or a small pack of baby wipes. This is the time to discuss with your children what to do if they get separated from you and to lay down the ground rules regarding food and souvenirs.

One the morning of your visit, dress in cool, comfortable clothing and good walking shoes. Hats and sunglasses are also essential on sunny days, even for small children. One member of the family should carry a larger bag containing a towel, a pen, a pair of extra socks for each family member, a small first-aid kit and any supplies for younger family members such as extra clothing or diapers.

Try to arrive at the park at least a half hour before opening time. Some parks actually open earlier than their stated hours, giving you a jump on the crowds. When you arrive at the park, note where you parked your car on the back of your park ticket. Reinforce ground rules with your children before you enter the park. Once prepared with your supplies, schedule and rest time, you're sure to have a great day in the park!

Perry Ellis - Unlikely Fashion Designer to American Icon

Perry Ellis Unlikely Fashion Designer to American Icon

Perry Ellis was an American Designer who was born in 1940 to an average middle class family. He went to college for business administration and later earned his Master's degree in retailing from New York University in 1963. He started his career working in retail as a buyer and merchandiser. Although he could not even sketch a fashion drawing, his ability to understand market demand for fashion and deep understanding of how the whole industry operated led his employer at the time, the Vera Companies, to ask him to design a collection for them. Perry Ellis released his original Portfolio collection of women's sportswear in 1976. His clean cut, casual style earned him acclaim from many women as he created the new classics they wanted for their wardrobes.

Ellis Breaks into the World of Fragrance

Perry Ellis first introduced a fragrance to his repertoire with Perry Ellis for Women and Perry Ellis for men in 1985. These scents were light spicy florals that embodied the heart of the Perry Ellis fashion designs. The Perry Ellis for men is still on the market today and is a great inexpensive choice for an evening on the town. Ellis died in 1986, but his name brand continues to flourish even today.

The Perry Ellis Tradition Continues

Later fragrance introductions from the Perry Ellis collection include 360. Perry Ellis 360 for women which was introduced in 1993 and contains top notes of melon, tangerine, lily, osmathus and cool blue rose. Middle notes consist of lily of the valley, lavender, water lily, and sage. Bottom notes include sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver, and amber. It is a musky floral fragrance and comes in a cylinder shaped white box. Other variations include 360 Red, 360 White and 360 Blue (are you noticing the connection, here?) each with their own unique notes, but enough of a thread that holds them together and a reminder that Perry Ellis was one of the great fashion designers of America. 360 for Men was introduced three years after the women's version and contains notes of bergamot, freesia, lavender, citrus, vetiver and musk.

Other notable Perry Ellis fragrances that are still available today include Perry Ellis Reserve which is a delightful daytime floral fragrance that contains a blend of yellow freesia, marigold, lotus blossom, white violet and lily. The Perry Ellis Reserve for Men, on the other hand is a somewhat simple musky fragrance consisting of amber, musk and wood.

Conclusion

From humble and perhaps somewhat unexpected beginnings America finds one of her best fashion designers of the 20th century. Perry Ellis designed clothes that could actually be worn by real women (and later men) and not just for runway models. He later transferred this no-nonsense approach to his fragrances. The Perry Ellis tradition has continued despite the designers' death in 1986. Popular Perry Ellis fragrances of today include Perry Ellis 360 for Women (plus the Red, White and Blue versions) and 360 for Men, Perry Ellis Reserve for Men and Women.

Time Management Tips - Stop Working So Hard!

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the "80/20 Rule":

We wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time.
80% or our revenues come from 20% or our clients/customers.

The same is true of working. 80% of our results come from 20% of our effort. Let me repeat that: 80% of our results come from 20% of our work. Which is good news...and bad.

The bad news is that most of us are overworking by a substantial margin. Matter of fact overworking impedes our results. Why? Because we are so busy running around we are not stopping to consider whether this work is getting us the results we want. Because we produce poor quality work that needs to be redone, or make errors that require additional time to correct. In other words, we are working hard but not necessarily productively. Which causes us to work much longer than if we slowed down and focused on our work and used our energy efficiently.

The good news is that we can work less and still see the same results. Actually, we may produce even BETTER results. Two studies on athletic performance illustrate that working hard does not generate the best results. In both studies athletes were divided into several groups. The members of each group were instructed to allocate their time in a particular way. For example, some groups were instructed to spend all their time practicing their sport. Other groups were instructed to divide their time between practicing the sport and visualizing the movements and outcomes they wanted from their performance. In one of the studies the group that improved the least was the one whose members spent all of their time training. In both studies the groups that spent more time visualizing outperformed the groups that spent more time working. So, why ARE we working so hard?!

The challenge for us is to adopt a new belief system and change long standing habits. The puritan work ethic is deeply embedded in our culture and psyche. "You have to work hard to get ahead" and "hard work pays off" are just two of the many work related "truisms" that have been drilled into us since childhood. In contrast it is interesting to note that the Chinese symbol for the word "busy" is composed of two symbols: heart and killing. That's a rather sobering image.

In the course of coaching, my clients improve their work-life balance. The more we slow down the more we can see and assess the virtue of our efforts, hear our hearts, tap our intuition and tune in to what really matters.

Bearpaw Boots - An Affordable Alternative to Uggs and Emus

For some time now women have been purchase Uggs and Emu boots, not only do they look stylish but they are comfortable as well. However, there are a new range of sheepskin boots available which look just as great and which are more affordable than the ranges offered by Uggs Australia and Emu Australia. The boots that we are in fact talking about are the ones known as Bearpaw boots.

If you were to go to sites such as Amazon you would soon discover that the boots that this company make are some of the most popular selling ones. Of all the styles that Bearpaw has produced the ranges which are proving most popular of all are the styles known as T410 and M410. Each pair has a suede outer lining and inside they are lined with soft sheepskin.

The natural lining in these boots as with those made by Uggs and Emu help to keep your body temperature at a constant level. Plus these boots enable moisture to escape so no matter how long you wear them for your feet remain dry, warm and cozy.

There is one difference however between these styles of boots and those made by Uggs and Emu including styles such as the Emu Bronte or Ugg Classic Crochet Tall. The boots that Bearpaw have made come with a thermo plastic rubber sole and again this helps to ensure that whilst being worn your feet remain cozy and warm inside them.

As with any style of sheepskin boots you can purchase today these ones are so comfortable that many women choose to wear them without putting socks on first. But not only have Bearpaw created a wonderful array of boots for women to wear they also have plenty of wonderful styles for children and men. However, now we will take a closer look at the two styles that seem to be proving the most popular.

1. Bearpaw Model T410 - This style of boot has an outer suede covering and the height of the boot from the arch is 12 inches. Most women tend to wear these boots with a great pair of jeans or a casual skirt and although some prefer to wear them at their full height. Other women tend to fold the top of the boots over in order to expose some of the boots best feature its sheepskin lining.

These boots are perfect for wearing in cold weather (although not wet or snowy conditions) as the rubber soles on them provide ample grip as you walk along. As well as being comfortable these boots come in a number of different colors including sand, chocolate, chestnut, and nutmeg and of course black.

2. Bearpaw Model M410 - Again this style of sheepskin boots has a suede outer lining, but the length of these is slightly less than the T410 version. In fact the height of this particular boot is only 10 inches in length from the arch of it. As with the other style we discuss in this article these look great worn with jeans or even a long denim skirt of Boho skirt.

Again these boots come with the rubber soles so that the offer you plenty of traction when you wear them and even in cold weather, although not wet or snowy they are suitable. What makes these particular boots stand out from the ones we have mentioned as well as the similar styles created by Uggs and Emu is you have more choice of colors. Along with the neutral colors like sand, black, chestnut and chocolate this range comes in Light Pink and Navy.

If you do purchase a pair of Bearpaw boots then before you wear them for the first time it is a good idea to use a good quality suede protector on them. There are plenty of different ones now available and using this will help to main the look and feel of your Bearpaw boots.

Closet Organizing Systems - 6 Steps to Finding the Perfect One

There are many different kinds of closet organizing systems. The challenge is finding or making one that fits your budget, needs, and personal style. Here are some suggested steps to help make the process easier.

Step One in Closet Organization: Budget

Decide on a budget. This is included as the first step because what your budget is will affect all other areas of your decision making process. You need to know how much you can or are willing to spend on organizing your closet before you go looking at closet organizing systems. It can be very tempting to justify the cost to yourself of buying a top of the line closet organizing system and then have buyer's remorse after you look at your credit card statement and realize that you really couldn't afford it. Decide on a budget and stick to it.

Step Two in Closet Organization: Make or Buy

Decide if you will be making it yourself, buying a pre-made closet organizing system and installing it yourself, or buying a professionally installed system. If you're not sure which way you want to go, start shopping around. The easiest way to find a closet organizing system company to professionally install your system is to go to dexonline.com and do a search in your area for closet organization. If you're going to be buying a pre-made system that you install yourself, shop around at local stores (The Container Store, Target, Home Depot) and/or online. If you want to make it yourself, check out the pros and the pre-made closet organizing systems in order to get some ideas about how you want to make your system.

Step Three in Closet Organization: Features

Figure out which components you want in your closet organizing system. You're going to want to sit down and really think about how you use your closet. How can you organize your closet so that it makes the most sense with your lifestyle? How can you organize your closet in order to make your life easier? Which features do you really want? Where will those features go in your closet?

Step Four in Closet Organization: Measurements

Take measurements. So why didn't I tell you to measure before you started shopping around? To help prevent impulse buying. Shopping around is just to give you an idea of what is available to you and to help you decide which direction you want to go with your closet organizing system. Now that you know what is available, take measurements of your closet. Buying a closet organizing system that is either too big or too small for your space will leave you frustrated and probably angry with the company that sold it to you. Get measurements of everything that you want to come with your new closet organizing system and make sure to measure where each piece will go.

Step Five in Closet Organization: Visual Aids

Get a visual aid. If possible, you'll want to get a virtual "tour" of what your closet will look like with the closet organizing system that you want to buy. A virtual "tour" of your new closet organizing system can go a long way in helping you really visualize how the system will look in your space. Draw out your space and what your new closet organizing system will look like in that space. Empty out the closet and use things around your home to help you get a clear visual. For example, if your ironing board is about as big as a cabinet piece that you want, put your ironing board in your closet where you want the cabinet to go. If you have a shelving unit that you want to install in a specific area, put masking tape on the wall to represent where you want your shelving system to go. Masking tape can take paint with it so be sure not to press the tape on the wall too hard or leave it on for very long.

Step Six in Closet Organization: Time to Buy or Make It

Buying or making your closet organizing system. You should now be ready to buy or make your closet organizing system. If you are buying a system, make sure that you know what the warranty is on the system and the return policy. If you are having a closet organizing system professionally installed, make sure you know the length of the warranty on the labor.

After you get your new closet organizing system installed, make sure that you go through everything before you put it back into your new closet. You don't want to be filling up your new closet with clutter so make sure that everything you are putting back are things you actually use on a regular basis. A good rule of thumb to follow is that if you haven't used it within the past year, you're probably not going to use it again so toss it or give it away.

Baby Food Stains - How Can I Clean Them?

Baby food stains occur when small babies take their food. They will make stains by dropping their food from their mouth. These stains will tarnish fabrics, clothes and some carpets. There are some methods to remove these stains. A small drop of food will cause a big mark. While feeding the foods, use a tipple and this will help to protect the clothes and other carpets from the food stains. While feeding your baby, you can give small bites so that it will avoid falling from the baby's mouth. There are many products available in the supermarkets to remove the food stains from the clothes and other fabrics.

If the stains are formed in the fabrics, soak it with a water combined with detergent and wash them and if the stain is not removed repeat the process for another one or two times.
The clothes must not be ironed or dried in the dryer until the baby food stains are removed. If we do this process, the heat produced from the iron box and the dryer will make the stain stay permanently in the clothes itself. Some good liquid detergents will help to remove the stains from the clothes. With these detergents, you can rub the clothes gently and rinse them completely. If the stain is removed at once then you can wash it again normally.

The other method for removing the baby food stains from the clothes is by using the shaving creams. The shaving cream must be directly applied on the cloth and make it soak approximately for half-an hour or one hour. After that, rub the clothes and rinse in the warm water and wash it. If the stain has not been removed then repeat the same steps to remove the stains from the clothes.

The next method to remove the baby food stains from the clothes is by using hydrogen peroxide and water, which should be mixed together partially. Then add a half percent of vinegar in the mixture and rinse the cloth completely. By doing this, the stain will be completely removed from the cloth.

There are quite many ways for removing the stains of food in the clothes and make sure that the clothe that after removing the stain completely from the cloth then only it must be ironed or put in the dryer. And with some simple methods of removing the stains you can keep the clothes very new.

The Chic Styling of Laptop Cases

How does one keep up to date with the latest fashion trends in technology, whether as a student or as a professional? To protect a laptop, a laptop carrying case is handy and essential. Laptop bags now can match the personality of the laptop owner.

While the briefcase style bags are still most popular among people who want to buy laptop bags, there are three notable developments in the laptop bag fashion department that provides owners with enough flexibility to reflect their personalities and lifestyles:

Portable laptop sleeves or messenger bags perfect for students or individuals who are always on the move
Bags that also have matching separate laptop sleeves
Branded laptop bags that double as an equally stylish evening bag

Those students or young professionals in cities who are always on the run have latched themselves on to the trend of portable laptop sleeves that provide users an option of attaching a set of detachable straps provided. These have lightly-padded messenger bags that offer protection without the bulk. Laptop owners can choose to use a separate sleeve on the laptop to provide additional protection. These light laptop bags can also be used as regular everyday bags. Laptop sleeves, originally used on the laptop even when it is placed inside the laptop bag, now come with detachable straps. This allows the owner to flexibly choose to either put the laptop in the laptop sleeve inside the laptop bag, or attach a strap so as to carry the laptop sleeve as a shoulder bag on its own.

Laptop bags that also include matching, separate laptop sleeves have grown more popular today. These laptop bags are often lightly insulated. The removable sleeve that comes with it is also lightly padded to increase protection. Putting the laptop inside the sleeve is enough to have an easy time carrying the laptop as you go from one destination to another without the need for the bulky laptop bag. Moreover, the laptop bag can house the laptop even if it is not encased in the laptop sleeve.

There are alternatives to the laptop briefcase, such as fashionable totes and other bag styles that can provide laptop protection without looking bulky. These laptop totes use stylish designs and materials much like those used in other designer bags. Fine stitching, leather, and even clasps are used, such that these bags double as laptop bags and as fashionable handbags. Messenger and Baby bags from a variety of makers are perfect for this as these are naturally deep and long to suit their original function which lends itself to being a perfect tote for a laptop.

The one advantage you have in finding a bag that works well with you is that the designers probably carry laptops themselves while out and about and have based their designs within the constraints of what is functional.

Tom suggests Juicy Couture laptop cases for their great combination of style and functionality and Hello Kitty laptop skins for a laptop protector that stands out from the rest.

How to Find the Best Reading Glasses For Your Face Shape

When selecting reading glasses and sunreaders, it is important to take into consideration your face shape. You may love the funky design of a great sunreader, but will it be flattering on your face? Or would you look ridiculous and peculiar?

It would certainly be helpful to have an honest friend to bring along during your shopping trip. But that's not always effective, especially when you don't have a friend who has a tuned aesthetic eye. Or you might end up bringing someone who would just nod approvingly to each frame.

Luckily, there is another way to choose the best reading glasses for you, without involving a friend who does not want to hurt your feelings. This strategy is great when you are planning to surprise everyone with your new look. And the strategy simply involves the use of geometry, your basic knowledge of shapes.

If you can tell the difference between a triangle and a square, then you've already acquired the basic skills. If you can distinguish an oblong from an oval, then you're in good shape. And if you simply look at the mirror and honestly analyze the shape your face resembles, then you can buy the reading glasses best suited for you.

Flattering reading glasses for a triangular face

You friends may have teased you about the triangular singularity of your face. Your forehead is unusually narrow, while your chin and cheeks are distinctly wide. When people look at you, their eyes are drawn to the dominant lower half of your face.

The good news is that you have something in common with Julia Roberts and Eric Bana.

More good news is that you have a wide variety of choices when it comes to reading glasses! However, that does not mean that you can let someone else buy your reader glasses. In fact, the best reading glasses for a triangular face are low-temple styles, semi-rimless frames, aviator style reading glasses, and cat-eye frames. If you are not savvy to the names of such frames, all you need to remember is to choose reading glasses that will add width to the upper part of your face.

Stylish reading glasses that soften a square face

You may have noticed that people have second thoughts about approaching you, even though your closest friends swear that you have the most congenial personality. But the truth is right in front of that mirror. Your face has a square shape. It is a formidable and powerful face. Your jaw is pronounced and your forehead is wide.

For a man, a square face conveys undeniable strength, such as the face of Bruce Willis. For a woman, the square shape has led to many agonizing minutes of using makeup to soften the overall countenance. But some women, like Jamie Lee Curtis, appear comfortable with their square faces. The secret is around the eyes. With the right reading glasses or sunreaders, a woman does need to not worry much about makeup. The reader glasses that will soften the square face are those with round frames. For a really chic look, opt for designer reading glasses whose left and right edges flow past the shape of the face.

Define circular faces with chic reading glasses

You've been called baby-face so many times you're beginning to think it is your official nickname. When people see your round face, they can't help but think of babies, who are, after all, born with cute round faces.

However, you do not need to lose sleep over a face shape reminiscent of your childhood. Drew Barrymore and Kate Winslet are in the same boat. You should enjoy that youthful shape, but you also needed something else to make people realize that you are an adult.

To add sophistication to your appearance, you will need reading glasses with angular frames, with the horizontal widths significantly longer than the vertical length. To add glitz, you can opt for rhinestones and colored temples. Your best reading glasses should also have a distinct bridge between the eyes.

Keeping the proportions of an oval face with reading glasses

An oval face is considered the most balanced, and sometimes, the most coveted, especially when represented by the beautiful faces of Sharon Stone, Tyra Banks, and Cindy Crawford. An oval face's cheekbones are high, while the chin is slightly narrower than the forehead, and the jaws are soft.

For the oval face, the best reading glasses show off the simplicity of such balance. The size of the frames should be wider than the cheeks. And the reading glasses should be simple with minimum motifs or designs. You might be disappointed with the idea that designer reading glasses are not recommended for you, but there is really nothing needed to fix for your perfectly shaped face.

Reading glasses balance an oblong face

The oblong shape has been the culprit for creating the impression of sadness on a face. The cheek line is precisely defined, making it longer and narrower. The long face is conventionally associated with the sad face. But if you knew the alluring Gwyneth Paltrow has an oblong face, then there is nothing to be sad about.

To ensure that the right reading glasses complement such a face, you need to stick to three basic types. These are the low-triangle frames, the round frames, and the semi-rimless frames. These types of reader glasses add width to the face.

Stylish reading glasses that add sparkle to diamond faces

You may have found your reflection a little bit peculiar, especially when you and your friends are standing side by side in front of the mirror. The reason for the difference is the diamond shape of your face. Among your friends and family, you are the only one with such a face shape.

However, don't think of yourself as odd because Sophia Loren and Katherine Hepburn also have the same face shape. Think of yourself as rare. And think of yourself lucky because you look great in many types of reading glasses, including rimless frames, oval frames, and cat-eye frames. Designer reading glasses will look great on you, especially when the design is dominant along the brow lines.

Lovely glasses for heart-shaped faces

Lastly, you may have been blessed with a heart-shaped face. Your cheekbones are high and slopes steeply towards a very narrow chin. Your forehead also appears too wide. But you must remember that it is an affectionate face that seems to always look tender and sweet, even when annoyed. It is a face similar to those of Halle Berry, Pierce Brosnan, and Reese Witherspoon.

How to Dress If You're a Man (and Not an Idiot Or a Goofball)

Visit the closet of any American man, and you're likely to be engulfed by an amazing number of T-shirts and an equally astonishing hoard of blue jeans. This is especially true of young men, but an increasing number of men of all ages have - quite frankly - forgotten how to dress like men.

There are undoubtedly times that a T-shirt and a pair of jeans is the right thing to wear - a sporting event, walking the dog, or building a superhighway. This is also the right thing to wear for most rock-and-roll concerts, panhandling, and pumping gas.

But let's face it, folks - there are many more events in life than these, and part of being a real, live, grown-up man in this country is knowing what to wear to a number of different places.

A jacket and tie used to be so de rigueur at restaurants that dining rooms of all complexions kept a few in the coat check room to ensure that if some rube who didn't know better wandered in dressed improperly, he could be kitted up enough to decently eat his steak with the other diners. While this dress code does not exist in most restaurants today, it only makes sense that if you are headed for a place nice enough to have a menu that is not illustrated with photographs and "fun facts," you should dress appropriately.

Every man should have at least one good suit, even if your job and social calendar never require you to wear one. If an opportunity opens up in your office for you to speak at a conference, attend an important meeting, or have dinner with the boss and his wife, you are going to need a suit. Furthermore, if you live a normal life, you'll need a suit for weddings, funerals, christenings, and other such events.

If you don't need a number of suits and you don't plan on buying one every year, buy the best suit you can possibly afford in a gray or blue wool and two fine cotton shirts. It goes without saying that the suits and the shirts should fit you impeccably. It also goes without saying that the shirts must, absolutely must, have long sleeves. Along with your suit, you should buy a good black belt and a pair of black shoes. Remember when buying shoes that costs count - cheap shoes always, always, always look cheap. Also remember when buying shoes that lace-ups are generally going to be dressier than loafers and are less likely to go out of style than most styles of slip-ons.

Certainly ties are a very quick and easy way to give a plain blue or gray suit a number of new looks. Blue suits can look great with ties that are predominantly red, green, yellow, orange, burgundy, or a contrasting but complementary shade of blue. Gray suits pair well with ties that are predominantly red, blue, silver, black, and even some shades of olive. A white shirt is the perfect plain canvas to make a tie in just about any color pop. However, you can coordinate a pale blue shirt with a red, yellow, or navy tie, or pair a pink shirt with a burgundy or navy tie.

If you choose to don a striped or checked shirt, match the tie to the most prevalent color. Most men's patterned dress shirts pair a color with a neutral - for instance, a pink-and-white stripe or a blue check. Ignore the white and match the tie to the color. Also - a plaid shirt is never meant to be paired with a tie. Think about how often Pa Ingalls or Grizzly Adams wore a tie...almost never. Why, you ask? Because plaid shirts don't go with ties!

Another way to step up your style is to add a pair of cufflinks. Cufflinks are worn with shirts that have French cuffs and are always classic and eternally stylish in a way that button-cuffed shirts just simply can't be. If you don't have the need for a lot of different styles, pick something timeless such as a pair of silver engraved oval cufflinks, or even something squares in gold or silver. This classic jewelry will be in vogue for your lifetime, and are an excellent investment.

You could also pick up a pair of cufflinks that will shout to the world your penchant for your hobbies, favorite sports teams, cool gadgets such as levels and compasses, or your favorite animal. Sports and novelty cufflinks are always a big hit. This is one area where you can pretty much go wild without stepping off the ledge into bad taste, so show your quirky side and know that you're still going to be one stylin' dude.

Whether your interests are in silver, gold, artistic, sports, or other theme-related cufflinks we've got you covered. Cufflink Aficionado carries a broad range of men's cufflinks designed to meet each connoisseur's individual style and interest. Our selection of cuff links are sure to top off that perfect look.

Meeting Attire - What to Wear

After college you thought all you had to do was get a suit. End of story. That may have done the trick for your first entry level job but now the stakes are higher. If you want to climb the corporate ladder, you have to dress the part.

Your "interview" suit is not going to cut it for every business situation. A meeting with a potential client calls for one set of fashion protocol than a board meeting. Have I lost you yet? Don't worry. Even guys with a limited wardrobe (or budget), can pull this off.

There are a few simple rules to follow when dressing for a meeting.

1.) The darker the color, the more weight it carries.

2.) Lighter colored suits make shorter men look shorter and heavier men look heavier.

3.) Don't overdo it with patterns. If you wear a pinstriped shirt wear a tie with a subtle pattern or a solid tie. Sorry, but the tie with the cigar motif isn't gonna fly.

4.) Go easy on the accessories and cologne. For men, stick to a wedding band if married and a watch. Don't wear excessive rings, especially on the hand you use to shake other's hands. Overpowering cologne is a big no-no for meetings. Not everyone (women included) will appreciate that musky chick-magnet scent you picked up on Canal Street.

Choose your color wisely

When choosing what to wear to a meeting, think about the message you want to send. If you walk into a prospective client's conference room wearing a black suit with a flashy red tie, you will make an impression but it may not be the one you intended.

If you're presenting for prospective clients, you want them to trust you and feel at ease. So the black suit and red tie could come off as intimidating. On the other hand, you want to appear competent. A dark blue and dark grey in solids or pinstripes create an air of

credibility without the severity. Other acceptable colors for suits are brown and beige.

The general rule of thumb is that the darker the color, the more weight it carries. So if you're the CEO and want to let everyone know it, by all means wear the black suit and bold tie.

As for the color of your shirt, white is the safest and most versatile since it will go with every color of suit and matches all of your ties. The next best choice is light or medium blue and then light pastels like yellow or even pink, if you are so bold. A man who wears pink actually creates an air of confidence.

While dark colors with bright accessories are the most powerful, the shades are dependent on the man's skin tone, hair and eye color. Matching your tie color to your eye color creates a striking balance that gets noticed without being overdone.

If you work in TV or have an on-air interview, choose clean lines, dark suits (pinstripes work too) and a bright tie. On TV a large knot tie with a nice dimple is especially important. With the advent of HDTV, every detail is now visible.

Be weary of light colored suits

Stockier or shorter men should never wear a light colored suit, which can pronounce weight and height. Taller, thinner men can get away with it if the suit matches their skin tone.

Don't go pattern happy

Never overdo the pattern. For example, if you wear a pinstripe suite, stick to a solid shirt or thin pinstripe with a subtle pattern or solid tie. If you have a solid suit or sport coat, that's the time to get aggressive with your tie pattern.

Keep accessories to a minimum

Don't go overboard with accessories. Accessories are meant to complete a look, not overwhelm it. So keep jewelry to a minimum.

To put it simply, stay classic. Know yourself and dress for your body type and for the desired outcome of the meeting.

Redesigning Your Style

If you cannot remember when was the last time you went out shopping for clothes due to your limited budget, perhaps there is a solution for you not to feel "out of fashion" anymore. Garnishing and remodeling clothes is not only an interesting idea for you to pass your time with, but it can actually help you renew your wardrobe with the minimum amount of money possible.

Transforming clothes was always connected with providing many important functions for human activity. In addition, transformed clothes are a byproduct of creativity and ingenuity. Being a stylish person is not easy. Thus, improving your clothes' demeanor as an act of conscious fashion shift towards contemporary refashioning of secondhand clothing is actually rather progressive. Experiencing the new character of that same old pair of jeans you have bought three years ago, can be the outcome of your dedication to commit some time and renew its old fit. A few cuts, at the right places, some foe crystals on its back pockets, a monogram on the thigh, a gold sparkling textile marker across the waist, are some of the things that can help you transform your used clothing and attract other peoples' attention to your unique style illustrated by your personally crafted fashionable creations.

Additionally, transforming old clothes, in any way, can become your new potential value to another social group. You might even discover a hidden talent while in the process. A number of people, who have begun remodeling or garnishing their clothes due to need or as a new hobby, experienced tremendous success through their hand-made creations and entered the fashion industry from the backstage. The "one-piece" deal is a strong marketing incentive when people need to convey through their clothes the feeling of being different; this need grows worldwide as globalization transcends all known boarders-especially that of fashion. By selling their creations to a variety of clothing stores, or more recently online, these clothes re-crafters reintroduced an old idea, which became an instant urban trend.

Thus, next time you look frustrated the resources you have available in your closet, instead of wasting time and money in trying to figure out what to wear for a night out, why not using your imagination along with some of your other skills to renovate the pieces of your wardrobe that need a little sparkle again to shine? Apart from it being a great idea to spend some quality time alone, redesigning clothes can also open up new career horizons; at least it can amuse you and your friends. Transforming an old skirt into an apron or a pillow case, garnishing your worn-out pants with silver spray suitable for textile painting, altering the length of your old simple black dress, or engraving your initials on your leather bag may be some of the alterations you can perform to your possession and enter a party with a redesigned style. The most important thing is that you will be able to congratulate yourself when one will gaze your looks and admire your stylish appearance. Most importantly, you will know that no fortune was spent on that "unique" piece of clothing you are wearing. Isn't that a sweat deal?

Women's Swimwear - 5 Important Facts You Should Know Before Buying a Leather Bikini

Do you know the five most important facts you should know before you splurge on a leather bikini? Yes, a leather bikini has a sensual and erotic feel to it, especially when it rubs against your skin. However, most consumers are not aware of what to look for before they purchase swimwear made of leather.

1. Choose leather bikinis that are labeled "washable," by the manufacturer. The leather can be genuine leather or imitation leather; it doesn't matter, as long as you can hand wash it and lay it flat to dry.

2. Most bikinis made of leathers cannot be returned to the store or the website where you purchased it for a refund. Read the fine print if you're purchasing online, or ask a sales clerk if you're purchasing it from a brick-and-mortar store.

3. Find out what the store's exchange policy is, since most stores maintain strict rules, and sometimes you might be required to pay a restocking fee just to exchange or return a leather suit.

4. Before buying a leather bikini, ask one of your friends to help you by taking your measurements. If you don't have a willing friend who can fit her schedule into yours, then you can make an appointment with a seamstress, or someone who does alterations. That person will prove to be most helpful when taking your precise measurements. Having access to your measurements ensures that you can refer to a store's sizing chart to truly get a leather bikini that will fit you. Some online stores will custom make a leather bikini for you, but you have to ask how long it will take before you can receive your swimwear.

5. Since you can generally receive the highest discounts on leather bikinis through stores on the Internet, it is to your advantage to first go to a physical store where you live. Or, while you're on vacation, you can try suits on to make sure of your exact size. Sometimes when you view a leather bikini online in a picture, it will look totally different when you try it on. Taking this extra step additionally offers you the chance to see which colors and styles look best on you.

One final word of advice is to choose a leather bikini that's exotic and more daring than a regular cloth suit you might ordinarily purchase. After all, leather is sexy, and you deserve having the sexiest leather bikini that matches your sensuous fantasies.

What's the wildest leather bikini that you can buy? I invite you to explore the fabulous selections at http://www.brazilian-bikinis.org to discover the suit you just can't resist. Alex London is THE go-to gal and worldwide authority on swimwear fashions and trends.
