Superhero Fashion

Posted by kilohana under I notice, fashion, fashion trends, shopping

image Capes, masks, super prints and bionic shoes are at last becoming a fashion trend. Sure you won’t be caught dead wearing the pictured outfit out about town (or will you), but what about a cute ensemble that has those same colors and the big cuffs. Yeah, you’d be in it and looking FIERCE!

New structures and new bold colors are now gracing the fashion runways. So, my question is "What’s your Super Personality?" Will you be the villain or the superhero? Seems like they are equally matched in the style and cost department. Check out some of the fashions that showed at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art:

Organize your Life

Posted by kilohana under Good Buys, I notice, cool tips, shopping

I usually keep all my papers and important information in a large file box, which was in serious need of organizing. I had gotten so bad with "the box" that we had started simply throwing anything we thought relevant into it. A horrible way of organizing and keeping up with important papers and information. Then I found Life.doc…..

Spanx

Posted by kilohana under I notice, cool tips, fashion, fashion trends, shopping

image We love clothes, fashion and anything that makes us look gorgeous and feminine. But you hardly find anything said about what lies under those beautiful clothes and accessories. For many informed women, they are hiding a little secret. The secret is Spanx and the secret is out! The incredibly form squeezing treasures will suck you in and lift you up like no other you’ve seen. Created by Sarah Blakely, this line of power panties, bras, and a whole slew of other items are showing up, make that showing under, on celebrity women everywhere.

Spanx is the girdle of the future, now! This popular body shaper is an addiction that most women will never part ways with. Imagine putting on a Spanx and looking anywhere from 2-10 lbs lighter…..and that’s without breaking a sweat.  Well, except for the wiggling you will do to get into these babies…and I do mean a wiggle! They can be worn under the tightest of clothes and never show panty line. They fit super snug but not uncomfortable. Once you have them on, you look slim, trim and amazing. They look like footless pantyhose that come right above your knee. If the bottoms aren’t addictive enough, they also have Spanx Bras, fittingly named Bra-llelujah. The bras hide that unsightly fat and bulges that show around because of your bra. Check them out and see what all the raving is about.  My personal favorite is the Hide & Sleek Cami! Spanx, making every woman feel and look beautiful, one panty at a time!!Winking

Correct Bra Sizing

Posted by kilohana under cool tips, fashion, shopping

bra Am I the only one who buys useless bras over and over again, trying to search for the right fitting bra. I find a beautiful bra and then I can’t figure out what size I should get. You really don’t want to try on a bra in the store, I hate doing that! But I have been buying on the internet lately, since it’s just like buying the store for me. Pretty much "hit or miss", but I have found a tool I can not live without. A BRA SIZING GUIDE!! All you need is a tape measure and you’ll have your size in less than 5 minutes. Here’s how you do it..
