Ever had the experience of walking into a room and felt faint from the smell? Just imagine, you will be in a suit or a gown, which is warmer than most of your outfits. There may be some dancing which will make people sweat. Add to it the smell of hundreds of colognes or perfumes and it can be overwhelming experience.

This rule applies to everyone present at your event, not just the wedding party: tone down the perfume. The target is to smell fresh and clean, not to overwhelm the guests with your smell. It is best if they can only detect your cologne if they are about ten inches away from you.

Clue: If people can smell you from across the room, you’ve put on too much cologne. If they can smell you coming long before they see you, yes, you’ve put on too much. If the empty elevator smells like you, you definitely reek!

Keep in mind:

- It pays to find a perfume that truly suits your body chemistry.

- Put the cologne or perfume on your pulse points using just a dab or two. No need to spray the way they do in commercials – we all know those are exaggerations.

- It’s best to put it on your skin not on your clothes. Some scents will stain your gown and that’s something to avoid. Worse, when your cologne evaporates it will leave only the smell of the alcohol.

- Choose a scent that blends well with your soap – it will be more appealing to your new spouse and guests; in fact, check if your favorite manufacturer created a complete line of grooming products. It’s a sure bet that their soap, cologne and any lotion or aftershave will match each other and blend to make you smell beautiful not overpowering.

This is the moment all guys dread. Your lady is trying on a new dress and drops the bomb- “How do I look in this dress. Does it make me look fat?” Look, here’s the thing. Women never ask you direct questions like that because they want to hear a truthful answer.

Never.

This goes against everything that guys are used to. When their buddy asks them a question or asks for helps, guys are used answering directly and in a logical fashion. In this case, that’s just about the worst thing you can do.

See, she’s not asking you uncomfortable questions about her appearance because she has a deep curiosity that needs to be answered. No, her question is not really a question at all, but actually a request.

A request for approval.

Your girl wants to feel like you think that she is the most gorgeous, beautiful princess in the world. She obviously knows that she’s not the most beautiful woman in the world, but no matter. She wants YOU to think that. So when she puts on that dress and starts feeling insecure, she wants you, her MAN, the one who thinks she’s the hottest stuff in the world to REASSURE her that she is.

Next time you get a question from you lady about her figure or her hair or her makeup or whatever, just remember, there’s only one approved answer that would satisfy her needs. Tell her she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. And mean it. She will be reassured. And you’ll be reassured knowing you’ve avoided an ugly incident.

Individual style should be applauded. It takes guts, personality and confidence to pull off certain looks, and anyone who expresses their individual style with gusto should be proud. But there are a few fashion no-no’s that should really be avoided at all costs, because, let’s face it, they just don’t look good on anyone. Be a fashion do by following these fashion don’ts.

1. Socks And Sandals
Just don’t do it, it really doesn’t look good. I understand wanting to be comfortable, but if socks are truly necessary, put on a pair of cute tennies or slip ons. Better yet, find a pair of sandals that are comfortable enough to wear without socks. Oh, and don’t even think about wearing black socks up to your knees with shorts and any type of shoes. I won’t even get into my opinion on Crocs at this point, but let’s just say that unless you’re gardening, I wouldn’t recommend those either.

2. Your Underwear Peeking Out Of Your Pants
Ok, So Brittany Spears did it, and so did various other teen stars and it was cool for a while. Let me give you a hint: unless you actually look like Brittany Spears, you probably can’t pull it off. Even if you can pull it off, there’s a difference between letting your thong hang out on stage in front of thousands of fans an paparazzi, and showing it off at the grocery store or in line at the movie theater. Trust me, no one wants to see it, and people are probably making fun of you as soon as you’re out of earshot.

3. Wearing The Baggiest Clothes You Can Find
No matter what size you are, you are going to look better in clothes that actually fit you, rather than big, baggy clothes meant to hide your figure. Beauty is not size dependent, and most people will tell you that a person of any size who looks fashionable and put together always looks better than someone in baggy clothes that looks like they are wearing a tent. Find a style that works for your body type, and that you like and be proud of it. The more confident you are in your own body and style, the more people will be drawn to you and appreciate you for who you are and your individual style. Sit on a bench at the mall for a couple of hours watching people go by. Who looks great, and who looks like a slob? Find a role model and try to emulate them. If all else fails, watch a few dozen episodes of What Not To Wear, and see resistant fashion disasters morph into beautiful, put together people.

4. Over-accessorizing, or Not Accessorizing at All
Even the best outfit can benefit from a few well placed accessories. A great handbag, and nice necklace and some simple earrings can easily take an outfit from ok to fabulous. They don’t have to match, they just have to be in the same or a complimentary color family. But a word of warning: don’t overdo it. Great big dangly earrings, 4 necklaces, 3 inches of arm bangles and a huge, sparkly handbag is going just a bit overboard. Keep it simple, but interesting, and make sure that your accessories compliment your outfit, not overpower it.

5. Being Self Conscious About Your Style
Above all, find a style that you love (and of course that follows all of the above mentioned rules). Wear colors that make you happy, and styles that make you feel beautiful. The absolute worst thing you can do is wear clothes that make you feel uncomfortable, or that you don’t love. Clothes and accessories are meant to be fun, that’s why there are so many choices. Don’t buy something just because it’s on sale, all of those meaningless purchases could be traded for one fantastic piece that you adore, and will last a long time. Buy pieces that are classic, as well as a few trendier items that can be mixed and matched. You will never regret spending a little more on a great pair of black pants that will last for years, and you can update them every season with a new top or some jewelry.

Find your inner diva, and express your style for the world to admire by following these simple rules. A Little fashion knowledge can go a long way in allowing you to express yourself to the world in a positive, confident way.

Several things come to mind when looking at topless lingerie styles. First of all, women are self conscious about their figures & especially their breasts. Maybe you feel that your breasts are too small, too big or not round enough to put them on display like that.

So have an open and continue to read while I tell you some tricks to use to fool your self conscious.

With topless corsets & Bustiers you can wear a sexy bra to start with or a sheer sexy top. With topless garter sets or teddies wear a little fishnet dress over the top, or a sheer robe.

The main thing that makes topless lingerie so erotic & naughty is that it can be worn through out the entire sex act. Most times we Victoria’s Secret lingerie and it is completely removed by the time things get hot & heavy.

This cruise began Abecita us with a two day stay in Istanbul minus one suitcase that Delta Airlines lost. We had been in Istanbul for a couple lingerie days at the end of our last cruise, and my wife fell in love with it. We spent the time checking out things lingerie didn’t see on the last trip, and shopping for underwear, pantyhose, shoes, and other things Kathy needed after the lost luggage fiasco. There we were, at the Grand Bazaar, Kathy in a pair of my boxer shorts and a T shirt the ship gave her. But we found some great bargains on knock-offs.

The Millennium set sail for Kusadasi (Ephesus) Turkey in the early afternoon. The next day we arrived in Kusadasi, known for its very extensive ruins at Ephesus. These are the most impressive ruins we have ever seen, be sure not to miss them when you are in Kusadasi. Cleopatra and Mark Anthony were tourists at Ephesus!

We toured a rug factory which was actually a rug store. However, they gave a very interesting presentation on how Turkish rugs are woven and how to determine the quality of rugs. We saw a demonstration of a young girl weaving a rug.

While in Kusadasi we spotted an internet cafe sign and so we went on in. They were quite excited that we had come in; they uncovered their single computer, taped some cardboard to the window to reduce the glare on the screen, and brought us some cokes to drink. After we finished surfing the net we asked how much we owed. They said “nothing!” and they wouldn’t let us pay for anything. Odd but interesting and nice.

The next day was a day at sea with no stops at any ports. We consider days at sea as our lazy kick-back and relax part of our cruises. So we “bagged some rays” by the pool and checked out the drink of the day.

The next day we arrived in Limasol, Cyprus. Originally we were supposed to go to Haifa Israel, but due to some Middle East unrest, the destination was changed to Limasol. There was an interesting castle that we toured, and then we went looking for an internet cafe. We found one and did a little updating of our website while we were there. Internet cafe’s can be found in most cities and it is truly amazing to see the differences. There isn’t really much in Limasol.

Our next port of call was Alexandria Egypt. The port was HUGE! There were quite a few sunken ships poking up out of the water as we entered the port…wonder what that was about? Our ship was greeted with a giant red carpet and a large band playing music.

We took the shore excursion to the Pyramids, about a three hour bus trip. The buses traveled in convoys with police escorts. I presume it’s an anti terrorist thing. The Pyramids were awesome! We got to actually climb up on one of the pyramids. There were also cool tombs that we toured, and of course, shopping for jewelry and papyrus art.

Our next port of call was Athens Greece. Since we had been to Athens recently we opted not to take any of the excursions and just went to the Plaka. We found yet another Internet cafe where we could update our web site. Although it was about 3 flights of stairs to get to the cafe, were given the “Computer with a view” .. Just out the window was a spectacular view of the Acropolis. And we found another fabulous open air cafe.

We arrive next at Naples, Italy. The day was kind of a whirl wind of a day as we took a hydrofoil to the island of Capri where we toured the island, an interesting and beautiful island and playground for the rich. Then on to Sorrento where we had lunch and wandered around the scenic town, and finally we toured the amazing ruins at Pompeii. There are enough ruins at Pompeii to spend weeks there and still not see everything. Thousands of years ago and they had plumbing fixtures…running water in their homes, taverns, saunas, and all sorts of surprising things. A very busy day!

Next stop, Rome and the Vatican City including St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Vatican museum. At the Vatican, we visited the Sistine chapel which was mind blowing. Following that we visited the Coliseum. The Coliseum was another amazing place. Kathy was really impressed with the Trevi Fountain in Rome (she threw in the required 3 coins so we could come back to Rome).

Our next port was Nice, France. We visited a famous flower market, had coffee at a little side walk cafe, and we took a shore excursion to Monaco. Monaco isn’t very big! We could stand in one spot and see the whole country. There are lots of shops on the tiny narrow winding streets. We had lunch (at an open air cafe) and Kathy liked the Roquefort cheese so much she asked the waiter where should could get some, and he directed her to a market. We bought some and brought it home with us.

The following morning we disembarked in Barcelona and within hours we were on our way home! Another fantastic cruise ship adventure under our belts!

We all strive to look our best, and choosing the perfect accessories doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. Great accessories can help dress up or dress down any outfit. Even blue jeans with a sweater can be dressed up with a nice necklace, earrings, bracelet, belt, and shoes. The same jeans and sweater can become very casual with fewer accessories and tennis shoes.

Hair accessories are a great way to make a bold impression. The perfect hair accessory can be functional, holding your hair any way you want it, while at the same time being very fashionable. From the greatest up style to extensions, hair accessories can be your best friend.

Some people don’t consider makeup a fashion accessory, but makeup can do so much for your overall appearance! Mascara helps open your eyes and give you a more confident, awake appearance. Earrings and necklaces can almost literally make or break an outfit. The right earrings and necklace can make you look classy, sophisticated, and beautiful. Making the wrong decision with these important accessories can frame your face in ways that are very unappealing.

Today’s purses and handbags are designed to make their very own fashion statement. There are so many colors and styles, you can almost have a different handbag for every outfit in your wardrobe. Whether you prefer a large purse, a small satchel, or something in between, you can never go wrong with the right purse.

Jewelry like rings and bracelets can really help add dazzle and shine to any outfit, whether it’s jeans and a shirt or that sexy little dress that usually hangs in the closet. We know you have one! Belts can add a lot to almost any outfit. A big, chunky belt can add a lot of flare to your jeans and favorite shirt or add a great waistline to a nice straight dress. The right belt can also make a skirt and blouse look like they were meant to be together, even if they weren’t.

Shoes, though at the bottom, can top off your overall look. Cute little boat shoes or ballerina slippers can do things for a pair of jeans that tennis shoes just can’t. Nice flats or even low to medium heels can also add some great attitude to your favorite jeans. Of course, if you’re going to be wearing that cute little sexy dress that usually hangs in the closet, don’t try to dress it down with tennis shoes – it just doesn’t work that way! See, we know that little dress is in the closet!

So there you have it, a basic rundown of some awesome accessory tips!

You can accent your look no matter what your style of clothing with the right womens fashion accessories. There are tons of accessories you can choose from too, like sunglasses or scarves. Fashion accessories can even be worn together to create a unique look. You’ll just have to figure out which kinds of accessories will make the perfect you.

Scarves

These classic items are an iconic symbol of the elegant woman. Every woman should have one of these womens fashion accessories in their wardrobe. There are several uses for a scarf too. You can wear one around your neck, use it to protect your hair on a windy or rainy day and even use it to tie up your hair when you aren’t up to involved styling of your hair.

Plus scarves are simply beautiful to look at. They come in paisleys, strips, polka dots and other more elaborate designs. The right scarf can really make a look pop.

Remember scarves are like make up colors. If you are a fall then you’ll want to look for scarves that are slightly darker in shade, maroons, browns, tans and so on. If you are a spring pick a scarf with lighter colors like pinks and blues. This goes for the other make up ‘types’.

Sunglasses

Even in the winter you could need a pair of sunglasses if it’s a really sunny day outside. You’ll have to make sure that you pick a pair of these high class womens fashion accessories for any season. Sunglasses can be a surprisingly pricey item but they are also very useful and can easily accent a look perfectly.

When shopping for a pair of sunglasses to accent you, make sure you pick up some with UV protection and medium to dark shades. So, you’ll be able to wear them even on the brightest days and feel comfortable.

The lenses shouldn’t overwhelm your face, so the smaller your face the smaller your lenses. Those big aviator style lenses aren’t the look for a petite young woman. If you must go with large lenses choose a pair with only light tinting. So people will be able to see your eyes behind the lenses and they won’t overwhelm as much.

Hair Ties/Clamps/Barretts

Even your hair deserves some fabulous womens fashion accessories. They are great for bad hair days, days when you just don’t want to bother and those days when you want to show off a pretty new accessory in your hair.

The kind of hair accessory you pick for your hair on any given day really depends on how you are feeling. A hair clamp is a good way to pull back medium to long hair and still look classy. Hair ties are quick and easy ways to pull long hair out of your face. Barretts are famous for holding down those unruly curls.

There are obviously lots of other kinds of womens fashion accessories to choose from for your look. Choose something that fits you. Purses and bags are great accessories and they are a quick place to stow all of your goodies. Jewelry always shows off the woman and it’s an excellent way to invest some of your money.

Today’s woman has so many concerns throughout the day. No longer is the stereotypical stay-at-home mom a reality. Many a woman is juggling a career, kids, community activities, and possibly home-schooling, in addition to everyday chores. In a 24-hour day, she stuffs 30-40 hours of living. Sometimes, it is hard to remember that she is not superwoman, and sometimes what she wants is a little silk and lace for Christmas.

A woman is good at so many occupations. Touted as the weaker sex, a woman can usually work a man under the table, so to speak. Although role sharing is becoming more acceptable, who is usually the one who cleans and cooks after work, bathes the kids, tucks them in, and then starts a load of laundry for work tomorrow? Under similar conditions, no wonder a woman often feels unappreciated.

Sometimes, a woman deserves a little pampering. What she wants is a little silk and lace, and to feel beautifully feminine. So, why not consider something a little different for Christmas this year? Instead of getting her something for the home, or an item she needs regardless of the holiday, give her something special in her stocking; or, simply give her stockings.

A gift certificate or a package from a lingerie store is much more than the expected nowadays. In addition to the expected sleepwear, specialty shops sell seasonal lingerie. Stockings for the holidays, and other accessories befitting the season, are only a small part of the inventory.

Lounge wear, costumes, and shoes are also available for making her spirit a little brighter. The choices are virtually countless. Once you have made the decision to purchase a little silk and lace for Christmas, you will definitely be challenged to pick out the perfect gift.

Do not simply give up and give her the standard fare. Remember, a gift certificate is always an option if you cannot decide. Otherwise, pick out several items and give her a smorgasbord of silk and lace for Christmas.

Victorian nightgown styles have always had a romantic appeal down through the years continuing to drop in and out of fashion on a fairly regular basis. Now however you can get hold of these long flowing visions of white cotton without having to pay through the nose to a vintage clothing collector. With so many specialist online stores out there it was only a matter of time before things like the Victorian nightgown became easily available to purchase. The great thing about the internet is how sellers now have access to huge online markets for virtually anything you care to imagine. In the past the viability of selling something like a Victorian nightdress to a local market would most certainly been eroded by the low demand. Selling such a thing online however taps into the huge global market which in turn has given rise to a multitude of specialist suppliers offering goods for every diverse taste.

So this is all good news for you lovers of cool crisp cotton Victorian nightgowns. The fact is that there are still loads of folks out there who simply adore the feel of soft cotton against their skin at night. They are not interested in these trendy short and vest pajama sets in slinky satins and cotton jersey materials that seem to be all the rage right now. They much prefer a garment that covers the body all snug with a high button collar and long sleeves just like the original Victorian nightdress of years gone by. Of course the genuine antique articles would cost a great deal of money and they are probably too old to actually wear without detracting from their value.

All of this is no longer a problem though because there are plenty of places where you can now buy a Victorian style nightgown brand new and even made to measure. Now you can experience the warm cozy sensation of wearing pure white cotton to bed every night at a price you can afford. Imagine sliding between your pure white sheets at night whilst wearing a long crisp cotton creation all of your own. if you want to go all the way there are some beautiful white cotton house coats available in the same Victorian nightdress style. Both garments would probably be trimmed with delicate feminine satin bows and beautiful broiderie anglaise lace.

These retro style nightgowns are made from cool crisp polyester cotton fabric which is easy to care for whilst extremely durable. This is the ideal choice of material because it will come up cool crisp and dazzling white no matter how often you launder it. Once pressed they look absolutely gorgeous all over again ready for you to slip into all that lovely white cotton for bed. These lovely creations can also still be made in the heavier thick flannel materials as well if that’s what you prefer. They are a throwback however to the days before double glazing and central heating. Whatever type of Victorian nightdress style you are looking for there are plenty of online stores out there that will make it for you in your size and choice of fabric. Sweet dreams!
