Log Cabin Kits For The Garden

2013-01-08T22:48:00.001-08:00

If extra space is needed for the home, a log cabin is an attractive and practical way to answer the problem. Log cabins are ideal as a home office, a gym, for housing Jacuzzi's and saunas or as a playhouse for the children.

The size and style of your log cabin can be dependent on your budget. One way to make your budget go further is to use a log cabin kit and assemble the log cabin yourself. Most log cabin kits come with comprehensive assembly instructions, and with assistance from friends and family armed with tools, such as: a hammer, drill, spirit level, and a screwdriver, it can be a challenging and rewarding experience for everyone involved.

However, for some people, just the thought of assembling a log cabin kit is enough to give them a headache: so the next best option is to hire help though your log cabin kit company or from local trades' people.

Once you know your budget, the next step will be deciding what type of log cabin kit to purchase. Log cabin kits come in different packages: some are, handcrafted, and made from whole logs, whereas other log cabin kits are made from kiln-dried logs that are factory milled. Consider the quality and quantity of the wood in the log cabin kit: if your log cabin is to be used for twelve months of the year, you will need thicker logs than if your log cabin was for summertime usage. There are different shapes of logs to choose from, and a common choice is the 'D' log, which is round on the outside and flat on the inside and gives a horizontal wood-panelling look within. If you are concerned about the environment, check the logs are from substantially managed forests. Deliberate over the floor plans to determine what will work for you, what type of timber you want to use, e.g. pine or cedar, what insulation you need and your utility requirements.

The typical contents of a log cabin kit contain cut logs for a specific log cabin plan. Each log has a predetermined location in the wall of the cabin, with door and window openings already cut into the appropriate logs. Most log cabin kit companies offer a number of log cabin kit options that contain additional components: cladding, insulation, screws, corner panels, window frames and windows, doors frames and doors, steel brackets, anchor bolts, nuts and washes, studding, roofing and flooring. What isn't included is: foundations, wiring, plumbing, heating, roof tiles, and guttering. Because each log cabin kit company structure their kit differently, it makes it difficult to compare costs between the companies, unless you can do an item-by-item comparison of the contents of the different log cabin kits

Before the log cabin kit is assembled, a well-prepared level base that is the same size as the log cabin floor will be required to ensure a long lasting installation. A variety of materials can create a solid base, such as: concrete or paving slabs positioned on hardcore, and it should be 20-50mm above the ground level. Building regulations will need to be considered, for example, if your log cabin is to be located next to a boundary line. Some log cabins require planning permission and your log cabin kit company maybe able to provide advice on this matter. However if there are doubts, it is best to contact your local planning authority before work is commenced.

Log cabin kits do take time to assemble, but the finished product will be something you and your family can enjoy and appreciate for many years to come.

Modular Building - The Future of Construction

2012-10-28T06:42:00.000-07:00

modular buildings techniques have been around for over 60 years, beginning as a solution to the need for post-war housing and classrooms for the 'baby boomers'. Since then, the offsite industry has transformed the face of modular construction, and now creates aesthetically stunning and environmentally friendly permanent or temporary buildings for a wide variety of sectors, including schools, hospitals, retail units and housing. Modular building is fast, affordable and sustainable, and seems to be the future of modern construction.

Modular Building Methods

The manufacture of modular buildings can be done in several different ways, depending on the application, the intended use, the space and access available. For example: a fully formed volumetric unit could not be craned directly into a tight site where a long crane reach is required, therefore flat pack panels would be used instead, and erected on site. Unique and cost-effective buildings can be created using offsite construction in the following ways:

Flat Pack Buildings:
Flat pack, panelised units allow flexibility of design, delivery and construction, as well as guaranteeing quality control of each unit within a factory environment. Panelised units are ideal for temporary or permanent low-rise buildings such as offices, nurseries, clinics and clubhouses. They are fast to construct and can offer excellent value for money. As mentioned before, flat pack panels can be delivered to any site, no matter how restricted the access is, and put up in a matter of days.

Volumetric Units:
Volumetric modules are built with light-gauge steel frames offsite, fully fitted and sealed in factory conditions. They are then delivered to site to provide fast and efficient construction. This technology allows the affordable creation of high volume replicated units for accommodation, hospitals, universities and housing and minimises time on site.

Steel Frame Units:
Sometimes called Skeletal units, steel framed buildings combine traditional and modular building methods to provide a flexible and fast option for truly unique buildings. Using the advantages of offsite construction, this systematic approach delivers better value for a range of building projects.

Leading Ladies of Fashion

2012-10-07T17:22:00.001-07:00

One such leading lady is Diane von Furstenberg (DVF), named President of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 2006, and well-known fashion designer. DVF began her legacy in 1970 with a thirty thousand dollar investment, and by 1973 was known for her revolutionary design of the "wrap dress," which is on display in the Costume Institute section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. After several decades of successful businesses, to include a cosmetic line, publishing house, design and marketing studio and home-shopping venture - DVF has created a line of women's high-end apparel, and was also The International Center in New York's Award of Excellence recipient. With such a long and distinguished career DVF is truly a leading lady in the fashion industry.

Wielding the command to make or break designers is an awesome responsibility in the fashion industry, and there are those who are of the opinion that the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour, has just such powers. Despite Vogue's status as the top publication in prestige and circulation among fashion magazines, Wintour has chosen to use her powers for the positive and has brought the magazine to a broader audience by giving runway tips and mentoring struggling designers. "I have always believed that it is important to understand Vogue's mission in broad and socially responsible terms," says Wintour, who has spearheaded several functions creating jobs and benefiting charities. To wield such power for the benefit of others is why she has been chosen as one of our leading ladies.

Another leading lady of fashion magazines is Linda Wells, Editor-in-Chief of Allure. While most fashion magazines highlight trend setting runway designs and beauty tips, this powerhouse editor, from Greenwich deals with the hard hitting issues that women face in this day and time. "We were the first women's magazine ever to write about the dangers of breast implants," Wells states. "We did the first story on models who were addicted to heroin." This revolutionary approach for a women's fashion magazine has sky rocketed Allure's circulation to award winning status from the advertising and publishing community. With an impressive career legacy which include (just to name a few) editorial assistant at Vogue, beauty editor for The New York Times Magazine, guest appearances on Oprah and "Entertainment Tonight" - her leading lady status is not at all surprising.

Our next leading lady of fashion has a reputation for being unique and groundbreaking in her knowledge of fashion, and her approach as editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar. The notable Glenda Bailey, who also served as the editor of Marie Claire's U.S. edition in 1996, after serving as the founding editor for eight years for the British Marie Claire in 1988, brought the magazine to such heights as to be awarded the status of Adweek's Top 10 Hottest Magazines four years in a row. Along with three Magazine Editor of the Year Awards, five time winner of Magazine of the Year, and Amnesty International Awards winner twice, Bailey earned a fashion design degree from Kingston University in England. Awards of this magnitude are indicative of the formidable influence that this leading lady of fashion exhibits.

The last, but certainly in no way least of our leading ladies of fashion is Fern Mallis, Senior VP of New York's IMG Fashion, one of the leading fashion event planners. She has earned this position due to her reputation by serving as Executive Director in 1993 on the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and as the organizational genius behind the first "Fashion Week" which was known as 7th on Sixth at that time. With her ability to coordinate eighty temperamental top designers with her pleasant and calm personality along with her ability to handle the paparazzi; such multi-million dollar events such as the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York is in the capable hands of this high-powered fashion trend setter. Fashion Week in New York is a defining event in the fashion world, making this multi-million dollar extravaganza a feather in the cap of our phenomenal leading lady Fern Mallis.

Fashion Lesson. BOHEMIAN STYLE AND FASHION

2011-08-02T04:17:00.000-07:00

BOHO-style is romantic, somewhat slipshod and relaxed. A girl dressed in BOHO style is independent, unprejudiced and always goes ahead without fear.
But how to achieve a boho-chic look? If you are interested in womens boho today here are a couple of tips how to have glamorous and bohemian look.

You're going to need to have a great pair of high boho heels to complete your boho look. The boho necklace is another thing that you can choose to be bold with. A necklace is too attention-getting so you need to ramp up the quality with a piece like this. You'll want to go for a large, bold necklace that really makes a statement.
The hat can give your wardrobe a hint of your bohemian style even when you aren't wearing a lot of the other pieces in your collection.

You will need a boho maxi dress to complete your full look. This is a long dress that's printed in the bohemian style. You'll want to keep the rest of your look fairly simple when wearing this piece because it makes a full statement all on its own. A little necklace will be enough to compliment this dress. It's worth buying a boho maxi dress that has a good fit and is made of a durable material so that you can wear it again and again. Again braids!Braids always look fashionable, chic and stylish.

The other dress that you will need is a boho mini dress. It's fine to get a laced dress as well. In fact, a great laced boho mini dress with a pair of sexy boho boots is a terrific outfit for the stylish woman. A lacy cloak on this dress hints at the boho style. This allows you to really play it up with the boho accessories if you want to and to show off your great boho heels without over-doing the look.

The stylish boho woman is going to need to be smart about choosing a handbag that compliments her bohemian style. What you don't want to do here is to be mistaken on the side of being too casual. Make sure that you select one that's made of high quality materials and that has a unique feature (such as the handle here). Choose a bohemian print, chic and "loud".

One of the things that you'll try to do when putting together a modern boho look is to avoid getting anything too gaudy. However, when you are selecting some of the smaller accessories, it's going to be good to choose some bolder colors. Look for womens boho headbands like the one pictured here which have a bit of a hippie hint to them and may be bolder in color and print than some of the larger pieces in your boho wardrobe.

An important key element in bohemian fashion is the colors. Typical boho colors are Earthy Colors. So focus on black, brown, cream white, khaki and olive green as your main fashion color palette.

Wear affordable accessories and details! Bohemian fashion doesn't have to be expensive. Instantly transform a pair of jeans and a white tunic shirt into a boho outfit with a brown leather boho handbag, gold and layered necklace, ethnic embroidered scarf, multiple bangle bracelets, gladiator sandal shoes and so on.

LACE - Fashion Trend 2011. How to wear lace.

2011-03-30T11:43:00.000-07:00

How To Wear Lace...
Lace is very womanly and it never really goes out of fashion, as lace clothing can be found among chain- store clothing rails throughout the year. Lace will become a popular fashion, and featured in many clothing shopes. When it's not so popular, lace becomes a classic and still remains in the fashion market.

Lace clothing gives a chic look, and can look beautiful without exertion.`But there's a few risks in wearing lace clothing, for example you can look too Gothic.

How you should wear lace.
You should avoid wearing jewelery with lace, as this will probably look over the top. Wear it with minimum jewelery. If you choose wearing lace wear it with stud earrings, or a gold bangle. Pearls are not good with lace.

Go for fine lace, rather than large chunky patterns. On the subject of hems, another one to avoid is a jagged, uneven cut. Medieval like fashion looks very silly on most people!

Never wear white stockings, unless your going to a dress-up party! Black lace stockings are hot with skirts in winter, but don't ever wear them with a denim skirt. Denim skirt plus black lace stockings is running the risk of looking trailer-trash. Avoid bright coloured skirts too. Black stockings will always go best with a black skirt. If your wear black stockings with a black skirt, go for a different coloured top, to avoid looking Gothic.

Lace panels on clothing is a good alternative to full lace garments.

If a clothing item is made completely of lace, wear it down with simple clothing. Plain, bold colours are good, all colours go with black, but brown. It's not really a good look to wear lace with clothing that is patterned or printed.

Be careful about wearing denim with lace. A garment with minimal lace, and particularly white lace, goes great with denim. But don't take it any further, like wearing a top made of completely lace, with a pair of jeans. It's a sort of stereotypical look, that doesn't look that nice.

How To Wear Boot. Boots and Booties Trends.

2011-03-01T08:50:00.000-08:00

The most important girl's accessory is her shoes. The most fashionable and trendy shoes are boots. Boots are anything from ankle to knee to over-the-knee. So how we should wear them?

Above the knee Boots
Over the knee boots are a main fashion trend and have been seen stomping on pavement all over the city. When it comes to 2011 fashion trends we’re facing a year of subtlety and tradition. And while many of us will be wearing classical silhouettes and subdued colours we’ll all be in need of making them pop; after all, doesn’t every fashioniser want to stand out from the crowd? For women that ’stand out’ look is just about to get a whole lot easier thanks to the hottest trend for shoes in 2011: thigh high boots.

It looks great with over tights, long socks, jeans or pants. For a look that's all glam and no trash, stick with leather or suede and pair boots with mini dresses, leggings, skinny pants or shorts.

Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots refer to a specific style of riding boot. Cowboy boots are prefered by celebrities such as Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson and others. Cowboy boots are normally made from cowhide leather but are also sometimes made from "exotic" skins such as alligator or snake.

Low heeled Boot
Women who value comfort as well as style will appreciate the emergence of the low heeled riding boot. You can pair with jeans and wear on an everyday basis and still be hot and trendy in long sweater. They are also great for pairing with skirts when you have to do a lot of walking.

Boots with fur collars
These boots give a new meaning to warmth and comfort. From real fur to realistic looking fakes, these fur collars will add style and flare to boot designs in winter and spting.

Bold colors Boots
Bright colours is the Fashion Trend of Spring 2011. Put your blacks, grays, browns and boring monotones boots in the back of your closet and wake up your spirit by adding some excitement to your wardrobe. Boots come in all colors. You will get orange, red, blue, purple and even pink. Some have bold prints to go with the bright colors, and for the not so daring, some are a little simpler.

Boots with buckles
For those who love the funky look, boots with buckles are the best alternative. Whether its night party or a friend get together you look great in these kind of boots.

You always have so many options of boots for different season. So just go for shopping and pick the best matching boot which adds fashion and comfort to your look.

Refresh Your Winter Wardrobe With Fashion Must-Haves

2010-12-14T03:42:00.000-08:00

Refresh your winter wardrobe with the most fashionable clothes, styles and prints of this season.

Animal prints

Neutral attires will look new and fresh with "wild" prints. Winter is the best time for leopard dresses. Wear it with a jacket at the office (Emanuel Ungaro fashion show) and without it in the evening like Claire Danes does.

Bright colors

If you tired of pastel shades, pay attention to bright colors of precious stones. Like ruby-coloured dress by Jil Sander or amethyst dress like Carey Mulligan wears.

Puffy skirts

Dresses with puffy skirts look very womanly and elegant. Wear it with cardigans (like at Louis Vuitton fashion show). Gemma Arterton wears a dresses with puffy skirt with court shoes and handbag.

Check

Check returns to fashion every winter. Just do as the actress Krysten Ritter does.

Shorts

At Tommy Hilfiger fashion show light-coloured shorts pair with black jacket and black panty hose. Actress Olivia Palermo wears tweed suit with shorts.

Winter 2010-2011 Must Have: The Fur Vest

2010-12-05T11:30:00.000-08:00

The fur vests make a strong come back this season. It is a universal attire that looks elegant or trendy casual, depending on the items paired with it.

How to Wear A Fur Vest:

Pair faux or real fur vests with skinny jeans, shiny leggings, slim pants, shorts or a flirty dress. Remember that whatever you pair it with should be slim fitting to counteract the bulk of the waistcoat. If worn improperly you will look bigger than you actually are, which is no good.
Try peep-toe ankle boots for a chic look or ballet shoes for a casual look.

Faux fur comes in a great number of colors and patterns. Brown and gray color fur vests allow more color gradations and have more visual interest. Black and white fur vests tend to look flat, unless you wear the long-haired one. There are mock-neck, v-neck, or fold-down collar fur vests. Fur vest is a fun item that looks great with many items in your wardrobe! Wearing strong prints such as zebra or leopard for the fur vest may be a little overpowering and are best reserved for shoes or accessory items instead.

BUTTERFLYS IS THE TREND OF THIS SUMMER 2009. New Season Trend.

A butterfly can symbolize many thing. It can signify a spring or immortality of soul. But for many fashion designers a butterfly means femininity, freedom and independence.

Prints with butterflies look very good on transparent fabric. This combination makes dresses lighter and sexier. If you don't like printed fabrics choose jewellery with butterflies. Such jewellers as Van Cleef & Arpels love butterfly theme very much.

Fashion Must-Haves of This Season. Fashion Spring-Summer 2009.

2009-04-29T07:17:00.000-07:00

Here come nine most fashionable things of the Summer 2009. Fashionable clothes, shoes and accessories that you MUST have in your wardrobe this summer.

1. Heel-strap sandal booties.
This Fall and Winter we get used to booties. And now in summer neither fashion-conscious people nor designers want to part with them. As a result we have very open booties or very closed sandals. You can wear them on bare feet or with pantyhose. Sandal booties look very sexy and beautiful. Anyway this must-have is a real hit of the catwalks. Look for them in Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo, Maison Martin Margiela, Paul Smith, Chanel and Alexander McQueen's collections.

Models Chanel and Bottega Veneta

2. Overalls.
This summer overalls will compete with our favorite dresses, all the more so fashion designers prepared for us many variants of the overalls. You can put on black classical overall going to your office, light coloured overall is good for party, short cotton overall is for beach. Interesting models of overalls you can find in Moschino Cheap & Chic, D&G, Missoni and Fendi's collections.

3. Stylish separate swimsuit.
Such swimsuits make silhouettes visually more graceful and this makes them very popular! But there is one disadvantage about them - sunburn will be quite fanciful. But designers of such trends as Agent Provocateur, La Perla, Topshop and Marc by Marc Jacobs are absolutely comfortable with that!

4. Sunglasses Ray-Ban Wayfarer.
Sunglasses Ray-Ban Wayfarer are "HELLO" from 80's. In 80's they were extremely popular in Hollywood. Let's remember "The Blues Brothers" with Daniel Aykroyd and John Belushi or "Rain Man" with Tom Cruise. Today the Ray-Ban sunglasses are favourite accessory of Hollywood celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Mischa Barton and others.

5. Military style of jackets.
This thing became must-have in spring Fashion Week in Paris. According to streetstyle photos it is the most popular attire there. Duh! This thing underlines a figure very nicely!

6. Antique style dresses.
In new season ancient Greek goddess is a beauty standard for many designers and modelers. Asymmetric light dresses with complicated drapery are very popular. Versace, Valentino, Elie Saab and Lanvin offer us such chic attires.

7. Torn jeans.
This season the condition of the jeans is much more important than its shape. This summer jeans style of 90's is very popular. Small and big holes, long and short. Many holes or just few of them - as you wish. Besides you can make this fashionable thing by yourself! Or you can find it in Balmain, Acne or House of Holland collections.

8. Bright shawls.
Here comes hippie and ethnic style! It keeps make us glad. This accessory will make any boring classical suit positive and summery. It can be tied up as a turban on your head.

Dior, Paul Smith, Missoni.

9. Wide bangles.
Wide bangles are extremely fashionable three summers running. However this season we can see wooden bangles not only plastic ones. Besides, this summer you can wear two or even three wide bangles on one wrist. It is very fashionable!

Plastic bangles Fendi, wooden bangles Bottega Veneta

Boyish Style Saves Us From Girlish One. Fashion Tendency.

2009-04-17T03:28:00.000-07:00

For those who are tired of ruches, frills and flowers, in other words for everybody who is sick of all the feminine style here comes BOYISH LOOK. It is really time to have a break and enjoy some fresh boyish things. But it doesn't mean total turning girls into men. It is just an alternative way to show the true you. Just run away from the girly body for fun, and enjoy the handsome simplicity of boys. The most audacious girls can change their long hair into classic men's short haircut. But you don't have to do that if you dont want to.

Try men's shirt with hot short shorts or skintight pants and suspenders. Do you like what you see? Boyish style is very hot and sexual.
