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:

< Shorts can come in many lengths and shapes. Depending on your age, size, and style there is a certain short you should choose. It seems that the older you get the longer your shorts should be. In fact, that is pretty correct, although there are shorts you can wear no matter what age you are and there is a stopping point on how long they get. Just because you get older doesn’t mean you have to start dressing like an old woman. Here is a brief list of the different types of shorts that are out on the market now, that can make you look and feel great at any age:

Corsets

Posted by kilohana under My Style, cool tips, fashion, fashion trends, shopping

Many decades ago, corsets used to be required at all times. Thank goodness those days are gone. But now the corset or bustier has become a cute, sometimes elegant fashion staple. One thing that hasn’t changed about a corset is the fact that it can make you look incredible. It pushes and squeezes in all the right places. You get the perfect hourglass shape in a matter of minutes (how long it may take to put it on Winking). Once on, you will definitely feel and look incredible. Just make sure you get the correct size and material. There are many different styles, materials, and control options out. Try them all.  Check these CUTE ones!

Cool, Weird Shoes

Posted by kilohana under My Style, fashion trends, shoes, shopping

Shoes have never been so beautifully weird as they are now. Check out these that are weird, yet strangely attractive.

These gold ones are so FIERCE! I don’t know what it is about them, but I would definitely sport these. These should be called Pedicure Time Winking, because you must have pretty feet to wear ‘em.

 

How adorable are these teal shoes. They are a little too weird,even for me. But they are still dainty adorable.

backwards In an earlier post, I hinted at the fact that this shoe, currently by Marc Jacobs is the next big thing. Well it officially came out on runways in the NY Fashion Week in 2007 right before Winter. The only thing forward about these shoes is the fact that they are "fashion forward" right now. I wonder what everyone was thinking at that fashion show. I think "Stunned" could sum it up in one word. The shoes measuring in at 4 inches high, although quite pretty, can be nothing but horrific to walk in. Imagine wearing shoes, let me correct that HEELS, that you can never apply weight to the back of the shoe or you will come tumbling down. Perfect for Ballet Dancers maybe not so much the rest of us, you surely will perfect walking on your toes wearing these.

One positive I can think of is, it has to be one heck of  a workout for your calves. Imagine a High Heel Shoe minus the heel, it’s ridiculous, yet, oh so sexy! They seem to be slowly trickling into the mainstream and we are sure to see more and more celebrities wearing them. These are sure to be a HUGE hit fast, in the lime light fashion is everything.

Would you trade being able to stay upright with wearing gorgeous "fashionable" shoes? What can they possible think of next, no heels at all??

How to save your lipstick

Posted by kilohana under I notice, cool tips, fashion

Have you ever broken or left your lipstick in the car, and it melted so you just threw it away because it was unusable? Well you no longer have to get rid of your lipsticks. Lipsticks can be expensive so anyway you can save them, you should.

If it melts from being in the car, don’t take the top off, just turn it upright and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour. This will reset the lipstick so you can still use it. It may not be as pretty but it still does the job.

When the lipstick stick breaks you can easily attach it back to the base, if it hasn’t completely fallen out of the tube. Heat the bottom of the lipstick with a blow dryer on low and press the lipstick back into the base of the tube. The heat should attach the lipstick to the lipstick container.

Another smart and easy trick, if you’ve used all the lipstick out of the top or broken the top of the lipstick, you can simply melt it down. You can put the lipstick in the microwave for a few seconds, just until it melts, and then pour it into a palette. It can be poured into any container you choose, like a lip gloss pot, contact lens case, or a pill case. Now you can use your lipstick with a brush. This is a neat way of getting more use out of your lipstick.
