Does your dogs outfit cost more than yours?

(Written by: Christy Penney)

Dogs and fashion who knew that would ever come into standing. Its not even just simple little t-shirts anymore either. They have gone to all extremes beyond dressing a dog up. They now have jewelry for dogs such as necklaces and hair accessories. All of which come in many different sizes, shapes and colors to match every clothing piece they have. Every accessory counts when picking out an outfit even for your dog.

The outfits that they come out with now for dressing up your dog, covers all occasions. They have dresses for girl dogs from simple to very fancy. The boys have little tuxedos to match the girl dogs as well. That way you could even take them to prom with you!

They have various t-shirts for dogs with many different sayings on them to match your dog’s personality. They have winter jackets that are actually very stylish for your dogs with many different patterns. You can get a designer outfit for your dogs as well and they now even have matching dog and owner outfits. That way you and your dog can go out for the evening and match from head to toe.




If your dog gets cold feet during the rough winter times, no need to worry now. There is a solution to all problems, the doggie booties. They come in all different colors and sizes ranging from x-small to x-large. No matter how big or what gender your dog is you are guaranteed to find a pair of shoes and boots for winter so everyone stays warm.


The owner can stay in style as well by buying a purse designed to carry your dog around with you no matter where you go. You have probably seen celebrities carrying these devices around with them. Paris Hilton is a huge one on this part, she carries her little pooch around with her at all times dressed in apparel that probably cost her more than what she has on.


Dogs defiantly have got a lot more spoiled and pampered through out the years. Who knew they would have the same options as humans have when it comes to clothing and accessories. If you’re looking for a place to find such an outfit for your dog or are just curious about what is out there in the doggie world, visit: http://www.target.com/, http://www.walmart.com/, and check out other top department stores for many other options.

Sandals in the snow

Everybody loves a pair of sandals. Yes, I can say that because even guys wear sandals. Whether they are thong sandals, flip flops, leather sandals, or "man sandals." They give your feet the ability to breathe all day and they are very light on your feet. Although there is one no-no with sandals, don't wear them in the winter! Your toes will freeze, you could get possible forst bite. I have seen so many ladies who wear sandals during the winter and the only thing that screams is MORON! Sandals are very quick to put on in this hectic day we all live so maybe that's why people do it. I have your solution, wear clogs if you even want to get that daring! Snow is cold and your feet will be to if people continue to wear sandals in the winter. Be smart, cover your feet up when there is snow on the ground.

Vintage

Ever since Hollywood starlets have started showing up on the red carpet in vintage gowns and accessories, vintage handbags and accessories are back in a big way. For those who admire the classic lines of fashion that resides in the past, your in luck because that is all that's walking down the runway, for the most part anyways. Some of the things can honestly be god aweful though. Do people really believe pink, lacy, ruffled dresses are gorgeous? Do they really think it is high fashion? If so, yikes, for me. But it's now an okay from the fashion world to walk out of your house in something your grandmother woar! Awesome!

Mix Matching Hair Colors

As much as I love a girl with can push the envelope this may have gone too far. Black eyebrows and very blond hair send off a slightly confused look. At first glance you see a lovely face, soft skin, pretty blue eyes and bold- very dark eyebrows. Then you see platinum blond, spiky hair. That of a slightly "butch" style if you will. I'm all for mixing and matching patterns, colors, and fabrics when it comes to clothes- but hair colors on the same head? Perez Hilton has tried repeatedly to pull off similar hair color catastrophes- like purple and black, hot pink, yellow/orange combinations- NONE of them have been successful! So ladies, high fashion will be much better off if you just pick a color and please- apply it to both eyebrows and hair!

Thank You!!

Beating the Winter Blues…

Why winter colors were assigned to be dark colors like brown, grey, black, and navy blue I will never know. Winter is gloomy enough in my opinion without adding to the problem by wearing the darkest shades too! I say beat the winter weather blues by spicing up your wardrobe with sassy bright colors. Heck go all out- try wearing bright pink, yellow, orange, red and sky blue and look in the mirror. You just can’t be gloomy in such bright, warm, happy colors! Just because we have to bundle up doesn’t mean we have to be boring! My motto this week is bust out the bright colors. You might surprise yourself at how happy and springy you feel just by throwing a little color into your wardrobe!

Hair Color

Everywhere you go, girls today are dying their hair. Some are trying to cover the gray but others just really want to stand out. We no longer have just conventional colors like brown, blonde, black for hair anymore, we have pink, green, blue etc. Some are even putting highlights in their hair so that their hair is more then one color. Some have just the tips of their hair a different color. There is so many different colors to choose from that its actually quite fun. Coloring your hair has become a way of life for some women. I found two examples of some extreme colors for hair. The one up above, very blue but tasteful. Even though this is a hair color that someone might not normally choose it still works. The other is the one down below:

This is the Celebrity, Pink. Her hair is very catchy and not a traditional color as well but it works for her because it fits her personality.

Now after seeing some examples, try dying your hair a color that fits you. Or if you like what your natural color is there's nothing wrong with that. Have fun with your hair, its like a canvas! You can do many things!

THE Dress

The Dress. It's what the Prom is all about. Girls take weeks, maybe months trying to pick out that perfect dress that they will only be wearing for like 3 hours one night. Trying to find the perfect style, color and size is almost impossible. Whatever you end up with, it's almost always not what you wanted. Of course figuring out what shoes and purse to wear is also fun as well as doing your hair and make up but it all goes down hill after the dress. I found two dresses that I like and that I would consider wearing. One dress is the one to the left. The soft blue is really calming and the ruffles are quite elegant. I would wear this one out dancing because it likes like you could move well. 

                         This dress I really like, the color is vibrant and 

                          you would definitly stand out in this outfit!

  Now go online or to a store yourself and pick out a dress that you like. You might not find your dream dress, but you'll find something thats worth those few hours! Enjoy!

Bathing Suits

I know it's still snowing out, but I am just so excited for summer and to lay by the pool, while soaking up some rays of sun.  Either way, I am going to need a bathing suit that is comfortable, fashionable, and practical.  This could be a dilemma, since there are so many bathing suits on the market, but you'll have to look around and try them on until you find the one that is just right for your body type.  As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of halter tops, not only in shirts, but I like halter top two-pieces as well.  I have two different kinds of halter top bikinis.  One kind has the bigger, thicker straps that tie in the back, and the other is the halter with the strings that you tie in the back.  Either one works, but the thicker straps give way more support when diving in the pool.  There are tons of other styles out there, such as tankinis, bandeaus, strapless, one pieces and so much more.  Tankinis are designed to make you look slimmer.  They come in two-pieces, a top and a bottom, but the top is more like a tank top, where it goes all the way down to your mid-section, sometimes exposing the stomach, but usually not.  Bandeaus are like tube tops that go around your breasts, leaving the stomach area exposed.  Other strapless bathing suits may come in a bra-like form, with no straps holding it up.  Don't ask me how it stays there!  Enough about the tops, another issue is what kind of bottom to buy.  There are thongs, g-strings, low rises, brazil cuts, boy shorts, skirts and full backs.  Thongs and g-strings are barely there with the coverage as they hardly leave anything left to the imagination.  Low rises have moderate coverage in the back without going too far up in the front.  Brazil cuts have a high cut in the front and in the back.  Boy shorts are shorts that create moderate coverage.  Skirts are boy shorts with an overlapping skirt attached.  Finally, full backs are usually high in the front and provide full-coverage in the back.  Now that you know the many kinds of bathing suit tops and bottoms, maybe you can find the most comfortable one for you!

Change the Color of Your Eyes!

Ever get bored with the color of your eyes or even wish that your eyes would match the color of your shirt?  Now you can change up the color of your eyes, whether you need prescription contact lenses or just want to have some fun.  Acuvue 2 Colors contact lenses offer a range of different colors to brighten up your eyes.  The colors are blue, green, honey, amethyst, brown, grey, turquoise, pure hazel, deep blue, hazel green, chestnut brown, warm honey, sapphire blue, jade green, and pearl gray.  These colors are shown in the picture.  Now you can have the color eyes you've always wanted just by going to your local optometrist's office.  Just because you were born with a certain eye color doesn't mean you have to live with it.  I think it's a neat way to show off your style from head to eye to toe!  I realize not everyone will want to change their eye color, but you can always try on a pair to see how they look.  You may be shocked at the change, but like everything else, you'll get used to it. Plus, this isn't a permanent change, which is the beauty of it.  You can go back to your natural eye color in a second or even try for a totally new color!

Bangs are red hot right now. And, more importantly, bangs are happening for many celebrity hair stylists. Almost anybody can wear them and look great. They can frame a pretty face as well as hide a many flaws on your face. If you want bangs you should make sure the bangs aren’t too thick. You can slightly layer your bangs to avoid this. Bangs should frame your face, not overpower it. I’ve never had bangs because I am not daring enough to try it but if I were then I’d have bangs that slant to one side. For most woman they look the best when they are either pushed slightly or the slanting to one side. Consider your length, should they be longer rather than shorter? Ideally, they should come down just below your eyebrow. Just a simple dry, and push to the side will do just fine for styling your bangs. Don’t feather, tease, or curl your bangs that went out in the 80’s!

"Tramp Stamp"

Tattoo's are becoming a local "fad." It seems like everyone is going into their local tattoo shop picking out a design they want needled into their body to last forever. Now, some people do this because they have been waiting 18 years to be of legal age, or they do it for personal meaning, remembrance, or they just get one from impulse and regret it in ten days! A tattoo that has meaning, that's simple, elegant, and also that is in a hidden spot is actually okay. It can sometimes can be flattering. As for me, I have two tattoos; my eyeliner is tattooed, and I have a tattoo on my hip. Those who don't know me wouldn't know my eyeliner was a tattoo because it's looks natural and doesn't open judgment opportunities. My advice is if your going to get something that is permanent on your body make sure it's something meaningful, and that you won't regret it. Now I know it isn't about what other people think, it's what you think, but some jobs, and opinions can be ruined by tattoo's, so choose wisely!

Falling with Grace

Miss USA is truly a classy lady- here we see her in a beautiful pageant style black gown strutting her stuff across the stage when all of a sudden- yep! You guessed it, she "falls from glory" so to speak. But wait, within a blink of an eye she is back up and looking fabulous! You just don't see that kind of bounce on a normal floor- the stage she fell on must be padded or something because she hopped up lickity split!

Pony Tail Tales....

It was cute when you were a kid to do pig-tails, right? They looked precious when you were... say 4 to 8 years old.



Now that you're older you should probably move forward from that look to something more sleek, sophisticated, and spunky. A pony tail as an adult is actually an accepted hair styling practice and one that I (since I have long hair) do quite often.

It just goes to show- some hairstyles (Aside from 80s high hair-sprayed bangs) are still fashionable and handy to do today!

Necklaces With Attitude

(Written by: Christy Penney)

Big, long and inspiring, that’s what one would call necklaces these days that women have been sporting. Necklaces have certainly made their own way up the style chain. They are not the little pearls worn in the fifties by every girl out there. They are big, bold and making a statement. They create a sense of unique and difference among all women. Not very often do you see the same two friends or even group of friends with the same necklace anymore. Every girl has got to be different and make their statement.

What more then a better way to say it with a necklace that shines brightly around your neck. The pearls have gone from itty bitty to large and in control. You no longer wear just one necklace you wear them in multiples to match every color you have on that day. They have pearls, beads, dangles, and many other interesting shapes. Some girls will even be walking around with what some would call deadly weapons hanging around their necks. This would be the big oval or circle shapes hanging off of the chain that weigh more than the girl herself. Varying in many different colors and styles the necklaces are quite appealing to catching ones eye.

You will also see women walking around with necklaces reaching all the way down to their stomachs in length. Some will even have jewels the size of the state of Maine hanging off of them. These types of necklaces have been very popular when choosing one for an outfit. The longer and chunkier the necklace is, the bigger and bolder the statement will be. This type of necklace also allows women too get away with looking like they are wearing more than one necklace. This creates a layering look on the woman’s neck which will bring out the outfit they are currently wearing. The more you put on the more fashion you create as well as attention which is what many strive for.

Now this does not mean that all enjoy the big and bold of necklaces. Some very much still do enjoy the little pearls and diamond necklaces because of the simplicity they carry within the necklace.

Greek Apparel

(Written by: Christy Penney)

Sorority and fraternity clothing is something unique and different among all of the people and groups involved. They are fun to pick up or even make on your own. It all depends on how you go about doing it. There are many different websites to help you out when wanting to find just the right piece of apparel for your style. No matter what sorority or fraternity you happen to be from or planning to join the clothing all comes differently for you as the person and for the organization itself.

They have many different designs on shirts that are already done up on the websites as well as sweatshirts, pants, bags, jewelry and etc. What your heart desires you can almost always find in the Greek world. They even have sunglasses in multiple colors for each sorority or fraternity with letters made special for each one on the sides. They have letter man jackets designed the way you want them with letters and your name just like they way it was done in the fifties for football.

You could also go to a screen printing store and have it made just the way you want it done. First starting with picking out the desired piece of clothing and then proceeding onto what you want put on it and what shape of letters and where. As well as going online to many Greek clothing websites and designing your very own sweater right online and seeing exactly how it looks right there on the website. This way your apparel is different from everyone and no one has the same as you. You get to stand out from the crowd and now a days it’s a very significant thing to be the only YOU out there.

Why not make the very best of it and be proud of your sorority or fraternity by wearing the letters created by you.

Websites to visit: http://www.greekgear.com/, http://www.somethinggreek.com/, http://www.greek101.com/, and there are many others out there to browse through as well.

Lipstick for the soul

Lipstick is something that you can wear any time of the day and for any occasion. Lipstick is fun and is meant to express your personality. When you wear dark lipstick it might come across that you are open and very outgoing. If you wear a really light, natural shade it might seem that you are closed and shy. This is the power of lipstick, it can give the impression of who you are. There are so many different shades that you can wear, you can even match the shade with your outfit, an occasion that you are going to or even the mood you are in. I for one tend to wear light colored lipstick because I don't want my lips to stand out, I like my eyes to stand out more. But those that want their lips to stand out would want to wear a darker shade. Below are some examples of different shades. Have fun with your lipstick choices and dress them up with who you are and how you are feeling!

Spring Break!

Spring Break is coming up and you will finally have time to relax! Relaxing is important and there are many good ways to be stress free! Something that I like to do and that I recommend others would be to take nice, long, hot bubble baths. Tie up your hair in a bun, grab a great magazine and lay in the bath tub, smelling the sweet aromas wafting around you. You will be surprised just how enjoyable it is. Another way to relax would be to have  a massage. You could have a professional or even a friend do it. It's nice to loosen up those muscles and relieve all of the stress built up throughout the semesters through tough classes. My friend used to work at a independent company called The Body Shop. You could buy lots of products for your hair, face, hands etc. You can even have parties where you can do facials, foot soaks etc. and they are a lot of fun. It would really benefit you and your friends if you tried some products. It will really help you to get your brain to slow down a little so when you do go back to school you can focus and be right on track. So dig right in and enjoy your break, you deserve it!

Halter Tops

A great trend to keep in mind as the spring and summer months approach are halter tops.  Halter tops are probably my favorite kind of top to wear in the warm weather.  One reason is because they are really cute and very fashionable.  You can wear them casually with jeans or out to the club.  Either way, halter tops look great.  Another reason is because it gives you better support for your upper portion.  Some halter tops come with built-in bras, which give even better support.  Plus, even if you don't have a lot to show up there, halter tops provide you with an extra boost to keep your womanly physique up to par and build your confidence at the same time.  Bet you didn't think a top could build your confidence, did you?

Team Insignia

Do you ever see sports fans wearing two different teams at the same time?  I see this dilemma all the time.  I may not get it, but I am not going to say it looks good either.  I can understand if you are wearing a Boston Red Sox hat with a New England Patriots jersey or a New York Yankees jersey with a New York Knicks hat.  I just find it weird to wear a team from one city and also wear some other team from a totally different city.  I can understand a person who is really into sports and supports two totally different teams from a different sport, but please spare me and wear them at two separate times.  It just looks a lot better that way.

~Kristyn

Bras are, believe it or not, a very essential part of a woman’s wardrobe. When you are younger in age you are said to supposedly have perky breasts and if you need a suitable push-up bra to help so what. You do what you have to do. Victoria Secret has a lot of variety for push-up bras. I went this past weekend and tried on a variety from Very Sexy, Angels, the BioFit, to Sexy Little Things. You should find one that comforts you, do you or don't you like under wire, does it cover your whole breast, and does it cut into your shoulder. I hate when I purchase the "perfect" bra and later find it digs my shoulders and leaves me so uncomfortable throughout the day! You don't want to be 19 years old and have your chest rest on your belly or knees! We are at the age where we want to be sexy, fashionable, and bring out our best features. If you are, however, and A cup a nice pushup bra can build your confidence and make the best out of what God gave you! So push-up ladies! It makes you feel great!

Eyebrows

Many women are unhappy with their natural brow shapes and go to extremes such as waxing or defining them with tweezers. One thing I find very important though is before randomly plucking your eyebrows or slathering on hot wax, it is very important to choose a shape that will compliment your eyes.

First, examine your natural brow shape and take note of which aspects you do not like. Whatever you think the problem is, you have to target it before you can start plucking for your new shape.

The next thing I would do is look at photos of models and celebrities to see what brow shapes they have that you find appealing. Be sure to compare them to your face shape and hair color as well, since eyebrows are part of the entire face and need to work in concert with other features, including your nose, lips, cheekbones, and whatever else.

Once you have an idea about what type of shape you would like to try, create your own look, if you don't like it, we'll let them grow out and try it all over again until you find the look you like!

Stop Talking to Yourself!

FYI- Bluetooth headsets are not a fashion accessory! I know they're convenient and make driving a lot safer and easier- but take the headset off when you are just wondering around in public. It is NOT a fashion accessory so please stop treating it as such! I can’t tell you how many times I will be walking through the mall and turn to ask someone a question and they have the headset on, and I check to see if they’re actually talking on it and low and behold- they’re NOT! It’s just hanging off their ear like some kind of earring! It’s bad enough that now it’s accepted that people walk/drive around looking like they’re talking to themselves. But now that it’s somehow okay to just look like you are. This is a whole new level of crazy and it has become obvious that electronics have taken over our lives!

Sparkle That

So everyone has this obsession with putting crystals and "bling" on everything these days. From your shoes to your nails and cell phones people feel the need to sparkle and I just want to know why!? I love a little glitz and glimmer as much as the next gal pal but seriously- this is one trend that has gone a little overboard.



From Paris Hilton and her ever-so-blingalitious (I think I just made that word up) phone to Jessica Simpson's over the top boots with both bling and fur! I tell ya' ladies, this is getting hard to top. The cardinal rule of any accessory is that it should compliment the outfit and bring the look together. NOT stick out like a soar thumb! IDK... this is just one trend I'm not on board with.

The Pouf

(Written by: Christy Penney)
Hairstyles have gone from the 50’s beehives to regular ponytails through out the decades. They have gone from big to small and back up to big again. As time proceeds to go on the hair seems to keep growing in height. Especially when people get updos they defiantly speak glamorous in many ways. People are not shy of the term “The bigger the better” when it comes to hairstyles. The pouf has also made its way back into this era. Whether your hair is up or down the pouf makes for a great style.

You can sport the pouf when your hair is up by either a regular ponytail with the pouf settling on the top from part of your hair. You can also do it for special occasions with an updo when you have curls piled all on top of your hair and the pouf is big and mighty in front of those curls to add charisma. When having the pouf style for hair down there is a few possibilities. You can leave all your hair down straight and pouf the front top part either small or add more hair for a larger look. You can curl it all and have a much larger look with a pouf if you like things on a bigger outlook. Also you can put it half up half down and pouf the top so the half up style doesn’t look so bland.

The pouf hairstyle is completely up to you. It’s all in the hands of the owner and how she wants it to look. However you can sometimes go too big and make it look tacky. For instance don’t take a massive amount of hair and keep piling it all up until it looks like you just have a huge blob on the top of your head. Just remember when styling your hair that bigger does make it bolder but keep it within reason.

Teeth.....Pretty or not?

Brushing teeth may night seem like it has to do with fashion but it kind of does. If you have disgusting teeth, it is very hard to find a job as a model, actress etc. Brushing your teeth in the morning, night and after every meal will help keep your pearly whites looking great for those close up pictures.

There are lots actors and actresses you see that have such great teeth and you wonder how do they look that great. I have 2 gaps in my mouth and almost all my teeth have cavities. Well the number one way is probably money. Obviously celebrities have enough money to get braces, root canals etc and don't need to worry about the amount of work they may need.

I believe its very important also to change your tooth brush every 3 months as well. You want to keep the bacteria way and keep your mouth very clean. Remember to floss and gargle with mouth wash after you brush as well. All of this information may seem obviously, but I've met some people who don't even try to take care of their teeth it's very unattractive.

So hopefully you will take my advice and keep those teeth clean, before you lose them! I very much regret everyday not taking care of my teeth as a kid because I have to deal with the discomfort of them everyday! Here or some examples of teeth that will catch your eye for their grossness and beautifulness!

Healty Teeth!


Not so Healthy Teeth :(


If you don't want your teeth to look like this, then brush!

Winter=Dry Hands

During the winter, there is a lot of dry air. When your hands are constantly getting wet and then dry, the air hits them and it can be messy. My hands are always dry and I have a hard time finding ways to keep them smooth and soft. One of the best ways is to use lotion after washing your hands or just anytime when they are really dry. Lotion is a sure way to keep them healthy and it's inexpensive and can be fun because there is so many different lotions and they all smell very good. I don't like to use ones that have such a potent smell because the smell bothers my nose and irritates my hands. There is many different types to use and different sizes so you can even keep a small bottle in your purse or some next to your sink. Lotion will come in handy because you can use it for your legs and face as well. My legs itch so bad all of the time and sting because they are so dry. They seem to be worse this year then past years so I've been loading up on lotion and remembering to put some on after the shower. Here are some examples of some lotions that would be great to try!

Hemp lotions work very well. I have ordered some from The Body Shop before for my mom since she had lots of cuts on her fingers and this lotion heeled them up in no time!



I always use this Vaseline Intensive Care because it works really well!



Try experimenting with different lotions and soon you will find one that will keep your hands, legs, and face soft to the touch!

Spring Fashion

The snow may still be falling, but once it's over, spring will arrive. Spring means lots of fun with the new fashion trends. But, before the new fashions and trends make their appearance, there is one thing you should know. You should know the right colors to wear in the spring. I see many women wearing blacks and browns, but spring is a time of rebirth. It's a time to be cheery and bright. That's what your fashion wardrobe should represent. Every season there is at least one color that everyone chooses to wear. One season, it was peach, another it was turquoise. I have yet to learn the color of this year's spring season. Either way, bright colors are the way to go for cute little blouses and tops. My favorites are the light blues, light greens, and the yellows. Now that winter's almost over, stores are starting to put out their new spring items, so you have plenty of time to go shopping and to brighten up your closet for this next season.

Valentine's Day Fashion

Valentine's Day is coming very soon. Some people celebrate it and some people choose not to do anything on this occasion. If you are doing something with your sweetheart, you may want to look rather impressive or at least dress up for the date. The first thing you need is to know where you are going. Next, you need to know what the weather is like outside, that is, if you are going outside. For example, if I was going out to dinner and it was raining or snowing I would wear a cute top with maybe black pants and a cute little heel so nothing would get ruined in the rain, snow, or mud. If it is nice out, I may decide to wear a red, pink, or black dress to dinner. I am referring to the usual dress colors used on Valentine's Day, but of course, any color will be fine. If you're going bowling or some other casual place, maybe wear a dressy top with cute jeans and a heel. But, don't forget to bring sneakers if you need them. For hair, maybe do a cute little up-doo different from your normal hair-style. Up-doos are great because they look nice and your hair doesn't get in the way. You can find many up-doos online or in magazines off of your favorite celebrity! So remember to dress from head to toe in cuteness and you will probably impress that special someone.

Eyeliner Extreme

Amy Winehouse is unfortunately the queen of offensively thick, yucky, and excessive eyeliner! The poor girl has virtually drawn an arrow across the top of her eyes hoping to accent them when really- it just looks scary! A word to the wise, eyeliner is meant to make your eyes pop and to help see their natural color. Eyeliner is not however meant to be the mainstay feature of your makeup. Makeup in general is supposed to make you look naturally beautiful. If you're noticing just the makeup- you're doing it wrong!



Remember ladies- if it looks wacky, it's tacky!

Bad cut got you down... add extensions!

We've all seen poor Brittney battling with bad hair extensions, breakage, and greasy overall nasty looking hair.




This year we have also seen Nicole Richie trying some strange colors in her hair (The evil influence of her punk-rocker boyfriend- I think so!)


But even though these two did the extensions thing ALL WRONG there is a right way to add extensions that will make you look super HOTT! If you're not one of the lucky few that naturally have thick hair that can grow as long as you want then extensions are your ticket to thick, full, lovely locks.



So go for it! Be brave- try hair extensions. Just please! Do them the right way. Unnatural, bumpy looking extensions are NEVER ok- it's just trashy.

Remember ladies- it's tacky if it looks trashy.

2007 brought us a lot of change, color, cuts and styles. Since it's a new year and people want new-new-new, the most popular hair cut of 2008 has been the beckham" cut. Its shortened in the back and comes to a longer point at your chin. Woman have been going crazy over this because it's very easy to manage. You can even let it air dry. It suits most faces too, chubby, thin, or in between. In 2008 hair will be elegant, feminine and masculine. Just watch what the celebrities are doing, I mean I know if I see a cute hair cut on a celeb I am bound to go "I want the Brittney". They are in style most of the time.

You spent weeks shopping for the perfect swimsuit. I know it takes me weeks maybe months before summer to find what will look cute for the summer beaches! Another thing you spend a lot of time looking for would be the most effective suntan lotion or the best sunglasses that will suit your face. Than you think you're all set to hit the shore, right? Not so fast. If you want to look cute and express a little attitude, you need to flaunt a fabulous bag as well. The perfect bad could make you look fabulous for your night out. Beach totes come in different sizes, shapes, colors and fabrics. It's all about how expressive you feel and how bold you want to go, but with the perfect beach tote you can pull off the perfect out-fit.

Meaningful Jewelry

I for one am someone that loves to wear jewelry. Besides work, I can't go anywhere without a necklace, pair of earrings, and all 4 rings that I wear. Everyday I like to wear a pair or earrings that matches my outfit, as well as my necklace but I always wear the same rings. The rings that I wear all mean something to me. The one I wear on my ring finger is my class ring, my thumb is a ring given to me by a best friend and the one of my pointer finger is one given from my sister. I have another ring on the opposite ring finger given to me from an ex boyfriend, I basically only wear it because I really like it. So if everyone could wear jewelry that represented something and had some value to it, they could probably never part without them. My best friend wears 6 rings, all have a special meaning to them, as well as her earrings and necklace all given to her from someone special. To some people, it might not matter where their jewelry came from, as long as you can have fun with your jewelry and try something new everyday, it makes it that more exciting. I truly believe thats why women love getting jewelry for an anniversary because they can show it off to everyone and having it close to them at all times. Here are a few examples of some jewelry that I like that I wouldn't mind having that special someone buy for me!


I love these rings!



This butterfly necklace is beautiful!

Now that you've seen some examples of great jewelry, you can go out to stores now and figure out something you like or just wait for someone special to buy it for you!
