We can’t all wear the same style swimsuits because unfortunately, we all have different shaped bodies. And as much as I would love to pull off some sexy, exotic swimsuits I see on the runways, I have to come to terms that I am not that tall, nor that skinny – so I have to find a swimsuit that fits my shape, not someone elses. Keep reading to see which swimsuit best suits your figure!
ruffled top swimsuitProblem #1: Small Bust
We’re not all blessed with a bountiful bust, so we have to make do with whatever we have. To hide a small bust, wear swimsuits with padding (just make sure they look ok once you get wet!), ruffles to add more volume, and prints to distract from the problem area. Also, make sure the colors work in your favor too! Pair a dark bottom with a bright top to make it work.
built-in-bra swimsuitProblem #2: Large Bust
If you find that you’re spilling out everywhere, you may need to rethink your swimsuit. Did you know that swimsuits actually run 2 sizes smaller than regular clothing? So with that in mind, choose a swimsuit with a built-in bra or an underwire to avoid spillage. Stay away from bandeaus, keyhole, string bikinis and demi-bra styles.
Tummy Control SwimsuitProblem #3: Belly Bulge
One of the most common swimsuit problems is the belly bulge. Choose a plunging-halter suit which will draw the attention away from the bulge. You can also go with something that has a pattern or some sort of detail at the mid-section to draw the eye away. You can also look for swimsuits with built-up tummy control as well as tankinis. But just stay away from the bikinis.
High-Cut SwimsuitProblem #4: Thick Thighs
To hide thick thighs, go for swimsuits with a high cut on the leg, which will make your legs look longer and slim your thighs. Also, stay away from shorts as they actually tend to make your thighs and butt look bigger. Instead, draw the attention away with a colorful or embelished top. Also, you can mix your bikini pieces by putting the darkest on the bottom and the lighter color on top.
Make up is a fantastic way for women to enhance their appearance and feel better about their appearance. While women have been using makeup for several different reasons, like concealing scars and blemishes, highlighting certain features and synchronizing their look with their favorite dress, there are very few women who know the art of using makeup to look younger.
The foremost rule to looking younger with makeup is to restrict your makeup to a minimum. Going overboard with your makeup and using thick layers of foundation and heavy usage of colors can put the accent on wrinkles and aging signs, defeating your overall purpose of using makeup to conceal your age. On the contrary, a sparse usage of makeup on areas where it is needed most can make you look younger.
Choosing the right shade of foundation or compact powder is very important because even a slight difference in the shade of your skin and the shade of the foundation will make wrinkles and blemishes more visible. The next rule is to apply the foundation or the powder as a very thin and even layer so that it works like a fine membrane on your skin rather than a complete cover for your skin. And in case, by evening you feel the makeup has worn out, don’t apply any additional layers on the existing makeup rather wash it off and apply a fresh layer.
For eye shadow and blush go in for the cream based products, because they give you a softer look as against the usual powder based products. Your color choice should remain restricted to light pastel shades, like pale pink, while avoiding all bright shades of eye shadow. Using lighter shades makes you look more natural and therefore younger. The same rule goes for the choice of lipstick color. Using dark or bright shades of lipsticks will make the line on your lips more prominent while also bringing to surface fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth region.
All this boils down to one simple rule that you must use very little makeup and restrict your color choice to lighter shades when you wish to look younger.
Prom night is special for every girl, because it’s the time when most girls step onto the threshold of adulthood, and also because it’s the first time in their schooling that they’re going to dress up like pretty royal damsels and be escorted by a fresh breed of gentleman.
There is a lot of excitement and glee about the prom night, and that’s one reason why most girls go head over heels, to find the perfect prom dress. Every girl wants to feel noble, and so they organize their whole outlook, from head to toe, several weeks in advance of the prom night.
Quite obviously, you want to make a sensational entry at the prom venue, wearing something sexy and scintillating. There are lots of choices you can make in terms of style, but just remember looking sexy is not about wearing skimpy. The most popular and the most appreciated of all prom dresses is the ball gown, which is designed to bring out an hourglass figure, with smooth contours, quite reminiscent of the graceful royalty of yesteryears.
The wide skirt design, with layers of tulle has something strongly feminine about it and indeed makes for a real sexy prom night dress. However for those looking for a sleeker option, mermaid style gowns paired with long gloves is also a brilliant choice to show off your fine curves.
As for the neckline of your prom dress, nothing is at par with the halter nightline which can play down a heavier bosom by highlighting the bare shoulders. However, for a more humble look, try a wide neckline with elegantly crafted long length sleeves. Both these styles are typically timeless and at least one of them is likely to suit every kind of figure.
And lastly, you definitely don’t need to get a brand new gown to wear to the prom; there are lots of places from where you can get some unique and fashionable vintage gowns on rent. And if you plan ahead, you won’t really have a problem in finding the right prom gown at one of these vintage dress rental stores.
Picking up the right type of lingerie is important, whether it is to perk up your sex life or simply to wear under your dress. You obviously know if it doesn’t fit you well, it’s never worth it. However, fitting is not the only criteria on which you should judge lingerie, so we have some tips for you here to assist you in picking up the right lingerie for yourself.
As we’ve mentioned, the first thing obviously is the size so when you walk into a lingerie store carry the measurement of your bust line with you. There are two places where you should measure your bust, one is right under your breasts and the other one is where your breasts are the fullest. When you have these two measurements, it will be easier for you and the store assistant to find the right cup size for you. As for the bottom line (I mean panties), you need a measurement of your waist and a measurement of your hips.
While fitting in is the prime most criteria; comfort is the second in line when you’re looking for that perfect piece of lingerie. Every woman has her own scale of judging comfort, like some want a bra to offer maximum support while others may just be looking to enhance the shape of the breasts. The choice of straps is another important point because some women find the elastic ones uncomfortable and thus would prefer lingerie with cotton straps. Even the choice of fabric is a matter of personal choice since quite a few women feel uncomfortable with synthetic yarns.
There was a time when lingerie was available mostly in white and skin shades, but today you have a wide range of colors to choose from. If you’re buying lingerie to be worn under a particular party dress, then get one which matches the color of your dress. However when you’re buying lingerie to get just a little naughty in the bedroom, then you can select based on your partners favorite color or a color that suits your skin and hair color. One set of black and one set of white lingerie must always be found in your wardrobe, as they can be used under most of your dresses.
And lastly, as for the styles you have a complete freedom to enjoy there, since nobody but you and your partner will know what you are wearing inside your clothes.
Everyone – be it your mother, best friend or the celebrities have committed fashion mistake at some point of time in their lives. Perhaps you too have faced the situation when you committed that common fashion mistakes.
These are some widespread fashion mistakes that we all have done at some point of time in our life:
Unsuitable colors. Some colors suit only specific skin tones though they may look pleasant to your eyes. So, choose the one that matches your skin tone. Don’t go for washed out or pale colors.
Unfitting clothes. Don’t squeeze yourself into garments that are smaller than the size you wear and are comfortable in. Such clothes will make you uncomfortable and unwanted accidents like breaking down of a seam or button can occur.
Inappropriate makeup. Wear light makeup at daytime. Use heavy shades for parties in the evening or at night. Use colors that compliment your skin tone and match your dress.
Wrong color pantyhose. Go for pantyhose whose color matches the color of your skirt’s hem and/or the shoes that you will wear.
Scruffy shoes. Don’t ruin your dress by wearing a dirty pair of shoes. Wear clean shoes and the ones whose leather look polished.
Odd nails. File your fingernails and maintain a decent length. Remember to apply a fresh coat of the nail polish if the paint has chipped. Wear dignified colors to office and experiment with the funky and bright shades during the weekends.
Slipping slips. Use slips that fit around the waist nicely and match the color of your skirt or outfit.
Underarm stains. Use a dress shield or a good quality deodorant, especially when you are dressed in a white top.
Visible bra lines. Use a bra that fits you snugly. If your bra fails to lift your bosom, rides up your back or has straps that fall off your shoulders, shun them and buy a new pair that fits well.
Roots. Colored hair should be touched up so that the roots aren’t visible. Also, select colors that match the tone of your skin.
However, if you know what suits you and take care of the small details, you will be able to avoid the frequency of these fashion disasters.
Here are a few pointers that need to consider, to be sure that you’re wearing, the right bra in the right style.The band
If the band isn’t running in a straight line across your chest, and is rising up at the back, then it’s a clear sign that you are wearing the wrong band size. With the band being loose, your breasts are getting the maximum support from the straps, so you need to go down one size. Maximum support for your breasts should come from the band and not from the straps, because straps are only to keep the bra in place. Look for a band size that doesn’t move from its place as you move around.
Now on the other hand, wearing a smaller band size will create the skin around the back to lump, and it may appear as if you have a lot of accumulated fat there. And obviously that means you need to go up one band size.
The under wire
The center part of the bra that is between the two cups should sit flat against your cleavage. If you’re able to slide in even one finger there that means you’re wearing a small band size. The under wire should lie exactly below the crease of your breast, for proper support, and if the under wire seems pulled down then you need a bigger band size.
The cups
In case your breasts are bulging out, either on the top or on the sides, then you’re definitely wearing the wrong cup size. You’ve got two ways to handle this problem, one is to go in for a bigger cup size or alternatively look for a bra style which covers more of your breasts.
On the other hand, if you’re wearing a larger cup size, then you can easily see wrinkles appearing on the outside of the cups. And the worst part is that these unsightly bumps may even show through your top or tee shirt.
Wedding is undoubtedly the most memorable and cherish able moment in a girl’s life and this is perhaps the only occasion where an ordinary girl like you and me become the center of all the attention and admiration and perhaps the only chance of our lives when we really want to flaunt our beauty so that it can be captured forever.Wedding dressing is the most important thing and so is the jewellery. Perfectly matched and complimenting clothes and jewellery and really make you the queen of the day. Here are some of the few tips you can make use of while planning your wedding jewellery.
Most of the girls prefer their family jewellery for this auspicious day like your grandma’s earrings, mom’s charm bracelet or your aunt’s pearls. They are traditional and can save you a lot of money as you do not have to go for new jewellery.
Necklaces should be perfectly matched with the cut of your dress and particularly the neckline. Pearls are best suited for strapless bodice while diamonds are perfect for V neck or sweetheart neckline.
One must harmonize the gemstones of the jewellery with the stones used in the dress. For example diamonds will be highly complemented by crystals in your dress and pearls are perfectly matched with beading.
Do not forget to match the earrings you choose with the hair style, head piece and necklace. Long earrings with drops are perfect for upswept hair whereas simple studs and bejewelled hoops are suited for decorated veil, tiara and dramatic necklace. The focus is to contrast one simple jewellery with another gorgeous piece.
Consider tennis bracelet with bare plain gloves and rhinestone or pearl cuff over bare wrists. Use similar metals so that the designs and the appeal do not clash to create a confused look.
Don’t worry, if the pounds that have piled around your waist make you a bit nervous to go out on a date, with someone special. We’ve got three wonderful dating tips that will help you in refining your silhouettes, as you get ready for your date.
Try a corset or a belly band
To conceal the fat around your waist, think about getting yourself a corset, as this is the best thing that can hold up your flab and give your waist a shapelier look. However, a corset will do a good job only if you choose the right size, because if it’s tight it’s going to suffocate you and if it’s loose it won’t be able to lend firmness to your waist.
The basic objective of using a corset is to make your tummy look smooth, by hiding away those ugly looking love handles. You might get a little greedy and may want to buy a corset that is one size smaller, so as to make your waist look even slimmer, but remember that you will find it difficult to move about freely, if your corset is suffocating you all the time.
Also, in an effort to push in your belly, you might end up with bulges appearing elsewhere, either below or above the corset covered region.
Wear a good bra
A fitting bra is a must to highlight your breasts by lifting them up and creating a more prominent cleavage. Wearing the right size is most important, because anything that is not your size, will not just be uncomfortable but will also not be able to lend proper shape to your breasts. If you’re fat, your breasts have a tendency to droop onto your abdomen, so you need a bra which can lend full support to your heavy breasts.
Get into some sexy stilettos
There is something about high heels that always excites a man, and if you’re comfortable walking around in high heels then you’d better wear them for your date. Stilettos look wonderful when worn under waist fitted dresses. Also, high heels will make your legs look longer and slimmer while lending your walk a more confident and graceful demeanor.

You cannot hold back age but you can certainly do something to keep your skin and hair in good shape which makes you look younger than you are.
As we grow up we tend to lose the plumpness of the lips so that by the time we are in our fifties our lips start thinning out.
This can be prevented by the use of a proper lip balm when we go out in the sun. Sun rays affect the skin on our lips to a large extent. It is always nice to use some natural ingredients on the beautiful lips. You could use some butter fresh from warmed up milk and some sugar on the lips.
Sugar exfoliates the skin on the lips by taking the dry skin away. You can also use some lemon as a scrub on the lips. Next use some natural moisturizer.
This is a good way you can do up your lips to make them look plump and full. Use some eye shadow powder that is pink, light brown or natural. You can use some lip liner to paint the outline.
Follow the curve of the lips and then apply some eye shadow with a lipstick brush. You can then use some gloss to cover the lips. The lips would look plump and full undoubtedly.
Many of us aspire to have lips like Angelina Jolie’s but after a lip job many of us end up have lips like MJ’s. Lip jobs just don’t work for many. Either the lips get too full or too stretched.
It is best that we try top achieve the pout naturally. Full lips make your face appear sexier and vibrant. You need not paint your lips too red if you have full lips. You could paint them a pink shade or a brown to give them the soft and subdued natural look.
You can always go in for a permanent option of plumping your lips but natural options and achieving the plumpness through make up is also possible.
Flaunt your lips and full lips look best when they frame a smile within. Here is a tip. Look at the mirror and try to smile the best way so that your lips look healthy and attractive. Flash that smile and be confident

In modern fashion, the stress is on exposing more skin. Watch any fashion show and you’ll find most of the dames dressed in some skimpy or revealing clothing.
And keeping in line with the latest fashion trends of ‘more skin on the display’, the latest prom dress collection is either strapless or backless.
Or there are others which are too deep at the neck, and nearly reveal half of your breasts. While lots of young women would love to wear such dresses to make a sizzling statement at the prom, there are others who are on a look out for a modest prom dress that is less revealing. There are lots of girls out there who would rather prefer prom dresses which are more feminine and a bit conservative.
If you love wearing modest let it be modest!
For your prom you’ll definitely want to look scintillating, and you may feel that with a modest dress you may not be able to make an as attractive statement as the other girls would be able to make with their revealing dresses.
But don’t just let this thought however over your mind, because modest dresses have their own way of bringing out your femininity and creating a unique charisma. And above all, there’s no need for you to wear something that you don’t like and get into an awkward situation which you may repent later.
A modest prom dress will, in fact, make you look more fascinating and eye catching, because there will be fewer girls dressed in modest prom dresses and that certainly gives you an edge over the others.
Just remember one thing that if you’re not comfortable wearing a revealing prom dress, you may not be able to carry it properly and may rather miss the excitement of the occasion if you feel overly conscious about the dress.
And last of all, parents who always wondered about the safety of their young girls, will definitely be at ease when they see you stepping out of the house in a modest dress, as you head for the prom.

When it comes to prom dresses, I think the classic styles are your best bet, because these styles never go out of fashion.Also in terms of colors, it’s always smart to pick up the classic colors like blue, black, white or silver, because for one you will never go wrong with such colors and two the dress won’t go obsolete after the prom night.
Here are short descriptions of the different classic prom dress styles, just to help you choose the one that will go best with your body type.
A-Line
This style of prom dress hugs you snugly down to the waist, and from there it flows out as a full skirt. From top to bottom, the whole appearance is similar to the English capital alphabet ‘A’, and that’s the reason it’s known as A-line. This can be worn on almost any figure, except when you are overly bulky at the top.
Ball Gown
This is the classic style, reminiscent of the Victorian era. It usually has deep necklines, puffed short sleeves, a clenched waist and a widespread balloon skirt which flows from the waistline till the floor. Choose this style only if you are above average in height, because small frames may look fatter in this type of a prom dress.
The Empire Cut
The unique feature of an empire cut prom dress is its high waistline, which is right below the bust. The skirt begins just under the bust and flows down up to the ground. This is best suited for the pear shaped women, as also for those with thicker waists. However, if you are above average, in height, you’d better not try this style.
The Sheath Cut
It is a very slim prom dress style, and the unique feature is the detailed beading and sparkle work. This style hugs your body tightly, and thus it looks good only on well toned slim bodies. And if you are tall as well, then nothing can be better.
Tea Length Dress
This one is a little bit more casual in style, and the length of the dress is usually shorter as compared to most other prom dress styles. The length runs just a little below the knees, and so you must dare to wear it only if you have toned and slender legs.
Not every woman is well versed with the art of applying eyeshadow, and that’s one reason why half of the women are never able to achieve the desired dramatic eyes. Here are some wonderful tips and tricks which will help you in mastering the art of using eye shadow.• First things, choosing the right eye shadow shade is the most important. Ideally you need to match the Eye shadow color with the color of your eyes to make your eyes look more prominent; however, sometimes using a contrasting color may also help in making your eyes to pop out.
• The next important thing is how well you blend the eye shadow to produce the desired effect. To give a professional touch to your eye shadow, you will need to use a minimum of three different variations of the same Eye shadow shade, with the lightest one forming the base, the medium one functioning as the main color and the darkest one used on the crease as a highlighter. Since, you will be using three different shades; you need to learn how to blend all these three shades well into each other or else your eyelids will look blotchy.
• When applying eye shadow, remember that it is meant to cover your eyelids and you mustn’t extend it onto the brow bone, because that kind of looks over dramatic.
• We know smoky eyes look really hot and that they are the in thing, but if you’re planning for a smoky eye effect then there are two things that you must keep in mind, one that no colors is to be used above the crease on the top eyelid and secondly for the lower lash line you must stick close to the lash line.
• Using shimmer eye shadows is only recommended for the young, because shimmer tends to highlight the lines and wrinkles in the elderly.
Exercise isn’t the only thing you have to do to get a great figure. Of course, you should always keep up with a regular exercise routine, at least for health’s sake, but there are a few fashion tricks you can pull off to make your legs appear taller and slimmer, your tummy flatter and your arms more toned.1. Body Shapers
No mistery here…body shapers will obviously shape your body to look slimmer and more toned. The best brand out there is SPANX and although they cost a little more (about $100), they do the job like nothing else. Even celebs wear SPANX to tuck in their tummies.
2. Lengthen Your Legs
If you’re on the short side and want to add a little height, there is nothing better than pairing wide-leg pants with a pair of heels. Just make sure you pick a pair of pants that doesn’t accentuate your waist.
3. Fake a Small Waist
If you’re looking to shrink your waist, or at least look like you have a smaller waist, just wear a belt right above your hips when wearing longer tops and dresses. This will give the illusion of a smaller waist since the belt cinches it at the right spot.
4. Slim Your Legs
Putting on a pair of black tights or any dark colored tights for that matter will draw the attention away from your legs, as to make them look a lot slimmer. Pair them with boots and a skirt/dress.
5. Hide Your Tummy Bulge
This season you’re in luck because a lot of the tops in stores are the kind that will be banded at the waist which will hide your bulge and make it look like you have absolutely nothing! Pair it up with high-waisted pants.
6. Fake Slim Calves
If you’ve been out of the gym for a while, your calves might look a little out of shape. Thankfully, you can fake slim calves by slipping on a pair of heels. You don’t have to wear super high heels to achieve this – pretty much any heel will do!
8. SlimYour Arms
Believe it or not, arm shapers exist! This quarter-sleeve arm shaper will fit smoothly and discretely under your clothes to give your arms a slim, polished look. Get it at TresSleek.com for only $26.95.
9. Slim Upper Body
If you’re worried about a larger upper body or broad shoulders, a scarf or a shawl can help you minimize your problem area. Just wrap it around your neck whichever way you like and opt for lighter fabrics in the summer.
With the return of super skinny jeans and leggings this past couple of years, it’s no wonder the jeggings were invented. Jeggings are basically an exremely skinny jeans that look like leggings and are also weared like leggings.
How to Wear Jeggings
I have to say that in the beginning I was not a fan of the skinny jean or the legging, but as time went on, I came to embrace both, and now, it seems like I can’t even wear any other types of jeans but skinny. The problem with these slim types of bottoms is that they’re hard to dress. And jeggings especially, can be a little tricky.
A Few Thumb Rules
First off, make sure jeggings suit your body type. If you don’t feel comfortable in them, don’t wear them
– no one’s going to shun you for it!! Second, pick a dark pair that will go with everything from a basic tank to a sweater dress. Also, black slims you down so that’s always a plus. If you’re on the short side, you may want to get a petite pair as a regular pair of jeggings might run a little too long, and there’s nothing worse than 2 feet of bunched up jeans at the bottom.So What Exactly Can You Wear Jeggings With?
How to Wear Jeggings
Jeggings are actually quite versatile, and I feel they do a better job than skinny jeans or leggings would. Because they’re still denim material, you don’t have to cover your butt, but they’re so slim and skin-tight like leggings that you can wear a long sweater or tee, a dress, or just throw a long cardigan over.
I love wearing leggings with a pair of chunky heels, a long sweater and a scarf. Add a big tote to that, and you’re set for the day. So if you’re heading to the mall this week, make sure to pick up a pair of jeggings: it’s all you’ll need!
