Handbags are a women’s best friend and they love to carry it around everywhere they go. A woman without a handbag is incomplete, that is what a woman believes. There are hundreds of designs available with totally different sizes. Many essentials are needed when one goes out of the house and because most of the women are very particular about themselves, they carry some things around in their bags 24/7. They want to be prepared for anything that comes and thus putting as many necessary items in their bag as possible. There are a few things which women always want to see in their bags and some of those are:

Hand sanitizer:

Women are very particular about hygiene and maintain themselves at all times. Germs are everywhere and having a hand sanitizer always helps as it is readily available and comes in small bottles. Soap and water are not accessible anywhere which is why hand sanitizer is one of the very popular things found in women’s bag. After having dinner, using shopping carts at stores, taking out cash from ATM, etc hand sanitizer can be used.

Hair items:

Hair bands and bobby pins are very impertinent for women. They often want to change their hairstyle instantly according to where they are and which is why they always keep extras in their bags. Sometimes weather conditions can make good use of them if someone wants to pin their hair and pull them back in case of sunny weather.

Feminine products:

A woman’s worst nightmare would be having a menstrual period and finding out that there are no pads or tampons in the bag. Running to a store to purchase might not be possible at many times and therefore having feminine products can come into handy various times. Sometimes, other women might need a tampon and thus it is good to be prepared for helping oneself and others. People sometimes feel uncomfortable to keep such products in their bags but all purses usually have secret pockets where these products can be tugged in for privacy.

Aspirin:

A severe headache can ruin an entire day and hinder their work. Having a bottle of aspirin, which are usually small-sized and so can easily be fit into a purse, always help women to get on with their work and not let it take over. Going to a store every time a headache struck would be very time-consuming and thus women like to be prepared beforehand. Most of the women who have migraine issues also keep other kinds of medicines in their bags. Mothers tend to have medicines for their children in case anything goes wrong and the children get hurt.

Compact mirror:

There’s no woman who does not like a mirror. It has more benefits than people usually think. It can be useful it something goes into the eyes or if one has something stuck in their teeth and they didn’t even realize it before they actually saw it in the mirror. Time like this can be very embarrassing and the last thing any women wants is to get embarrassed.

Make-up Kit:

At any moment, touch-up is a casual thing for the ladies. Having a lipstick and a foundation powder is the ultimate necessity of women who stay and work outside their houses for long duration. Make- up kit might take a lot of space but there are big sizes of handbags available, for example some of the Wendy Nichol bags, which can be used. Make-up is an addiction for most of the women and not having them could disrupt their entire temperament.

What You Will Need

You will not need many products to replicate Kim’s look. You will need to have your makeup basics, of course. It will be a good idea to have a great foundation to cover any of your visible flaws. Revlon’s PhotoReady foundation will work just fine. You will also want to have an orange or coral colored blush. Revlon also makes a PhotoReady cream blush that works great. You should have Urban Decay Primer Potion and an Urban Decay Naked or Naked 2 pallet to use on your eyes. Eye liner and mascara are musts as well. Finally, have some bronzing powder and a nude lip gloss to finish the look. If you have all of these products, you are good to go.

Getting the Look

The first thing you will want to do is to apply the PhotoReady foundation using a foundation brush. You can also use a makeup sponge if you want to. Once you have everything evenly covered, you can then start to apply some blush on your cheeks. You will want to start under your eye and apply the blush in a V shape. Blend it in well so that it does not look tacky. You will then want to take your bronzer on a slanted brush and start applying it to your cheek bones for added definition. The best way to see where your cheek bones are is to make a fishy face. After you have your cheeks defined, you can apply your eye makeup. You will need to use the Primer Potion first. You can then apply a brown shade to your eyelids with a lighter color on your brow bones. Apply a bit of the brown to your lower lash line as well for a smoky effect. Next, take your eyeliner and use it to line your top and bottom lash lines. Take your mascara and put a few coats on your eye lashes. Use the nude gloss on your lips and you will be ready to go.

Many women admire Kim Kardashian and want to look just like her. Following these steps can allow you to do your makeup the same way that she does. This makeup look will be great for a day at the office or even for a night out. Give it a try for yourself and see how gorgeous and Kardashian-like you will look.

It isn’t like Thailand haven’t been trying to get there fashion and textile voice heard on a global level, for example back in 2010 Thailand’s ministry of commerce set a growth target of 9-13 percent for the country’s fashion and leather industries. In order to allow such growth the DEP (Department of Export and Promotion) along with the private sector held the Bangkok International Fashion Fair and Bangkok International Leather Fair 2010.
This was a major “door-opening” moment for Thailand’s fashion industry as it was the first time Thailand’s entrepreneurs of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) could show case their talents and abilities in front of the ever cruel and judging eyes of the fashion world.
They even brought together the best fashions and accessories from ASEAN regions and focussed their attention on hot new trends, signature styles and Leather production.

Fashion in Bloom

Still, the fashion trade is a fairly young and flourishing campaign – Thai fashions broke through to the global stage and did seem to impress but, does the capital have what it takes to become a fashion hotspot?
If there is one thing Thailand will have to get rid of to impress the likes of Gucci models and Armani buyers, it will be all of those notorious fake goods the Bangkok streets are famous for.
A fashion capital is simply a place that has a major influential role in the international fashion trends and a key centre for the fashion industry – so a little of getting to that high role could be luck as well as a very good eye for the next fashion trend.
The well known fashion capitals of the world are known as “The Big Four” which are (obviously) London, New York, Paris and Milan, these places carry more than a crown they carry fashion legacies; Milan and Paris have a long history of excellence in creative design, Milan is also regarded as the most sophisticated fashion while London is known for the quirky extravagant designs.
Now that Thailand is thrusting itself into the global and iconic fashion arena, it’s begging the question of – what does it have to offer, Eastern eccentricity maybe?

On the Rise

Though 2012’s global ranking suggested that Thailand was still way below “the big four” it also has shown that Thailand is on the rise and reportedly still rising.
Probably due to one of Thailand’s most impressive designers, Milin Yuvacharuskul who had ‘ELLE Thailand’ and Tresemme, launching her spring/summer collection.
The fashion tourism in Bankok is getting some attention, specifically in Siam Paragon where there are outlets such as D&G, Hugo Boss, Gucci and Armani.
In my personal opinion Thailand is becoming a fashion hotspot for designers and seems to take on the identity of ‘fashion influence’ quite well however, it is early days in Thailand’s fight to become as legendary as Milan or Paris.

How to look good and feel great with a pair of sunglasses

Imagine if you will a time before sunglasses and the internet. Cruel as doing so may be, if you give it a try you’ll quickly discover a few stunning benefits. The first benefit is living in a time when we’re surrounded by all kinds of cool sunglasses, and the second is having so much information about outfits and glasses that getting the look just right is easier than ever.

That’s not to say you couldn’t always do with a little extra help, of course. So, with help in mind and your author feeling generous today, here’s a guide on how to use sunglasses to make your fine-self look even better.

Tip number 1 is always put UV protection at the top of the list when buying sunglasses. Looking amazing is all well and good, but looking cool and not being able to see straight is about as much good as a pair of sunglasses designed by your dad. Not cool, unless your dad happens to be an infamous fashion designer, we think you’ll find.

Luckily for you, today’s contemporary delights come in a wide range of UV protective options. Better still, they come in shades that look beautifully colorful and come tinted in colors that’ll suit every outfit. One thing to always keep in mind is that rose-colored glasses give you a much better contrast between those crucial blues and greens, while amber is great for the fashion guru venturing out on slightly glummer days.

Another critical thing to remember, when making yourself look stupidly fabulous, is that just because a pair of sunglasses is designer, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll make you and your outfit looks simply fantastic. Why? Because everyone has a different face-shape, and that’s just as important to consider as what you’ll be wearing. Don’t worry; we’ll come to that bit soon.

Next up, you’ll need to consider that human beings can be fickle creatures. One minute the sun will be shining and you’ll want sunglasses A. The next, the weather will have moved up a gear, you’ll be in a flowery dress, and you’ll need sunglasses B. The point? It’s always best to consider taking a couple of pairs of glasses with you.

And remember that just because you’re wearing a bright dress doesn’t mean that you need to wear a bright pair of glasses. In fact, wearing brighter, bolder glasses with a less out-there outfit can accentuate the beauty factor and give a much more pleasing appearance overall.

Where were we? Oh, getting the right fit, of course. It may sound daft to mention it, but when you try on sunglasses, be sure to move your head around. That doesn’t mean do a rock-chic dance or go skydiving, by the way. No, what we really mean is lean forward and to the side. Do those funky glasses you have your heart so set on really fit you, or do they fall off?

Now, after all that, it’s time to talk about your skin-tone and face. Because it’s easy to forget those things and get carried away, isn’t it? While it’s crucial to make your outfit work with your glasses, you need to ensure those sunglasses work with a triangle face or an oval face, so it all comes together. So that means thinking about your complexion and consulting an online guide concerning sunglasses and face shapes.

Just to give you some idea, those of you with paler skin will do better off with blues and blacks. Alternatively, if you love Tortoiseshell brown glasses and you have that lovely Mediterranean complexion, then you’re in luck. When it comes to face shape, there’s no need to be scared either. There are glasses out there to suit every kind, bringing everything into balance and making the most of what you’ve got.

If you’re thinking you’ve now thought of everything, don’t worry, you’re doing well. Saying that, there are still several more things to consider. Such as the kind of clothes you are wearing. For example, are you off out on a relaxing cruise down the Thames or are you going to be having a more active than usual day? If the latter is true then you’d do well to accessories yourself with sports sunglasses that can handle the job.

There’s no reason why you need to compromise on the sexy factor, either. Many of today’s top sports sunglasses are both sporty and stylish, such as snowboarding brands like Oakley’s.

Emma Stone has captured the hearts of men and women all over the globe with her quirky attitude and open-minded humour. If her enigmatic aura wasn’t a tough act to follow, her style certainly is. Her blatant adoration of skinny jeans in all styles and colours gives away her undying loyalty, so follow suit and learn from the best how to pull off skinny jeans.

Choosing The Right Skinny For Your Shape

The trick to finding your skinny soul mate is to be aware of your own body shape. Simply observe which category your body fits into and style from there:

• Pear Shaped – If your body is smaller on the top but heavier towards the bottom then you fit into this category. This means the boot and heel combo is best for this shape, and, teamed with longer tops, is a sure winner.
• Hourglass - If you’re curvy on the top and bottom, with a slimmer waist. Congratulations, women everywhere hate you for having this most desirable shape. One problem that arises from your shape is that clothes will appear even shorter on you, so longer styled tops will also suit you best.
• Triangle – This means that your hips are wider than your bust size, in which case the heel/boot combo can save you again. Another tip is to wear baggy tops if you’re wearing skinnies and vice versa.
• Inverted Triangle – Simply put, larger on top and smaller down bottom. Skinnies are wonderful for adding definition to the bottom half, but you’ll need to avoid tighter tops that’ll emphasise your top half.
• Apple – This is where your shoulders are typically broad with a larger sized chest and more body fat stored around the waist. Generally, skinnies aren’t very flattering to this shape at all, but complementary styles include flared and boot cut jeans that help balance out your figure
• Linear – Small sized and have flatter hips? Congratulations, you can have all the skinnies.

How To Wear Colourful Skinnies

It’s far too easy to stock up on boring black, white and grey clothing, so add a splash of colour to your look by wearing a vibrant coloured skinny jean instead of tops. You can find plenty of stunning skinnies with a broad range of creative styles that will have you standing out from the plainer looking outfits around you.

If you do want to wear livelier tops then one of the best ways to coordinate your beautifully coloured skinnies are to either Google or up pick a colour wheel. Simply pick the colour opposite to your jean colour and you will never have to worry about clashing colours again.

We’ve seen countless numbers of celebrities walking around effortlessly in heels and skinnies, making it a desirable look that can transform a casual looking outfit into a more dressed up look. Smaller girls, in particular, will benefit from the skinny and heel combination, as skinnies can emphasise curves that creates a need for some extra height. Taller women, however, can get away with wearing flat shoes.

So, there we have the skinny basics to looking your best, inspired by Emma Stone. Now all you need to be just like her is lots of cash, acting talent and a celebrity boyfriend… but maybe you should just settle for spectacular skinny fashion for now.

Alternative fashion guru Laura Watson is always looking to help people find their ideal pair of skinny jeans.

Selecting an appropriate dress becomes a daunting task for fat women. No one would like to show off their flabby muscle areas to the world. Following correct fashion tips will be the ideal way to make you look better and thinner. Also selecting the correct dress according to your body type is another fact which helps look thinner in each dress you wear. If you are a fat woman, then these ideas will be useful to cover up your fat areas and look slimmer. Wear Tight Inner Garments

Many woman wear inner garments that let their bust area fall too low. It makes them look older and flabby. Instead wearing lose inner garments, try wearing tight and comfortable inner garments.

Colour management.

Wear dark and bright colours to cover your plump areas. This doesn’t highlight the fat areas in your body. Black and brown are the most suitable colours which suit fat women. Always wear slim fit tops, as baggy tops could add extra pounds and make you look more than the normal weight.

Don’t wear tight clothes

Another common mistake is wearing too tight clothes, which will make you look fat and highlight your curvy areas. It doesn’t mean wearing plus size clothes. Try slim fit or medium size clothes.

Wear jeans

Pairing skinny jeans with high heels could make your hips look slimmer. Avoid wearing trousers with cargo pockets, extra zippers and elastic waistbands. Dressing boot-cut pants is another way of slimming up your hip area.

Wear accessories

Wearing accessories is an alternative which helps to hide your figure problems. These accessories distract others attention away from your body figure and plump muscles.

Necklines

Select tops with boat necklines and ¾ sleeves. It gives a slimming look to your upper body. Also vertical and asymmetrical stripes tops will give a slimming effect to your upper body.

Hairstyle:

Most of the fat woman has a rounded face shape. Wearing high hairstyles will give an oval shape to your face and reduces your heavy look. Wear a high ponytail with a fringe on your forehead. Also try loose curl and wavy hairstyles to make your face look slim.

Avoid short dresses

Stay away from short dresses as it will emphasize your fat look. Instead you can wear dresses which are below your knee level and above the ankle level.

Wear heels

Always wear a pair of shoes with high heels and not with flat heels. High heels will add some height and reduces your stout look.

Try these fashion tips to have a slim look in every dress you wear.

Look out, ladies – it’s wedding season. While weddings are one of the last acceptable places to wear a regular white-on-nude French manicure, there is no reason not to spice things up and be on trend! Here are a few ways to do it, some of which I have featured on my blog, This Week’s Nails:

Use different colors

Stay true to the French manicure design but update your color palate, like this green-on-green I did with 2013’s it-color, emerald. You can do all ten digits like this or follow my lead and add in some solid accent nails. Just remember to coordinate your outfit’s colors with your nail colors, since, unlike a plain French manicure (used to), some color schemes don’t go with everything!

Revise your idea of the tip…

Nail moons are very in and can flip your look in the trendiest way around. Just be sure you’re prepared to clean up the skin around your nails before you go out on the town.

Diagonals are surprisingly easy to freehand – I think they even easier than the horizontal band that usually tops a French look. You can do this look in the classic French colors or update it to be even more on-trend: I chose white and gold.

…And take it one step further

Unlike a horizontal style, you can layer two diagonals for an eye-catching look that also lets you add more color to your manicure. Just be sure you’ve picked colors that work well together and that you wait patiently between coats!

Have fun this spring and make sure your fingers are looking up-to-date and beautiful!

For those who are planning a wedding, spring is a popular season to choose and it is obvious why. The beautiful choice of flowers and pretty colours make for a picturesque wedding scene. Spring weather is often the best to choose in a number of countries too, as the sun should be shining but the heat will be bearable, which is necessary when wearing a stunning white dress all day! Here are some ideas of how to create the perfect spring wedding:

Outfit 
One of the most important aspects to every bride is the outfit that they will wear on the day. When it comes to choosing a dress it has to be perfect and you must make sure to try on a hundred choices, you will know when you look in the mirror if it is ‘the one’. Your big day will only come around once for most so it needs to be as close to perfect as you can get. Jewellery is like the icing on the cake and you can find pretty and dainty items with a touch of sparkle from Jon Richard. Pretty designs that include simple flowers and leaf designs would look great to in keep with the spring theme.

Venue

If you can have your wedding outdoors then this would be the perfect setting if you are tying the knot somewhere with pretty much guaranteed weather. You should use the venue to your advantage with photos too, if you are on a beach make sure to get some snaps when the sun is setting as it will provide a stunning backdrop. If you are sticking to an indoor reception make sure that you hire special lighting and make the room appear bright and light. Use white table clothes and decorate them with large floral centre pieces for an elegant yet effective look.

Food and drink

Another important aspect is the wedding cake. You can get some amazing designs nowadays but I think it is best to keep it white and simple. You could then choose your favourite flowers or a pattern to add a splash of colour to the cake and make it more personal. When you pick foods for guests to eat, keep things light and fresh so it says ‘spring’. Including chicken and salads will be reminiscent of what you eat on a nice spring day and will make sure guests aren’t too full to get up and dance later on! For drinks have a number of fruity juices on offer, and if you want to offer something alcoholic create a light cocktail that matches your colour theme.
