Alexander McQueen's Royal Frock

2011-03-11T03:39:00.000-08:00

If the rumor mill and today's Paris Fashion Week runway show are any indication, we may have an answer to the most buzzed about fashion question since the frenzy surrounding.......

While the guessing game will likely continue until the event unfolds on April 29th, jewelry hounds and fashion fans can marvel instead at today's incredible Alexander McQueen offering - Sarah Burton's 2nd McQueen show as creative director, after his untimely passing last year.......

The event was held at the 'uplifting' venue, Conciergerie, which was the antechamber to the guillotine during the French Revolution, holding thousands of prisoners, including one Marie Antoinette.It was also the site of one of McQueen's most memorable shows, where live wolves prowled the premises.......

A series of black, bondage-inspired frocks opened the proceedings, followed by an angelic display of white gowns laced with pearls and bone china (!). Needless to say, a princess would look stunning in any of these creations with a little royal-friendly tweaking.......

While jewelry was a veritable no-show here (and on most of the runway shows in Paris this year), McQueen shoes more than make up for our need for the 'lower jaw drop' couture moment.......
I know one Monster Queen who's gonna want to get her claws into these....

2011 Fashion Tips (For Men)

2011-02-10T07:56:00.000-08:00

By Mark Thomas Walters

Fashion can often be a confusing thing. Items can be hot one minute and not the next, so what should the savvy man be wearing? We've put together a little guide to give you the lowdown. Striped sweaters are very popular right not as they're both slimming and attractive. We love the sweaters that come in block colors and have the occasional sliver of horizontal piping across them, but you can choose anything from lots of thin stripes to a few thick stripes.

An absolute must for men who hate ironing is the broadcloth shirt. These are essentially long-sleeved dress shirts but with a bit of added rumple for that 'just got out of bed look'. But don't worry - you won't look like you've dressed in a hurry as they're also really well cut so you can be sure of looking stylish and put-together, not mismatched and hurried. Choose from a range of colors to find one that looks gorgeous on you. Crisp white is also a really good look.

Another really trendy men's clothing item right now is the belted jacket. You have loads of choice here, which is great, as it means you're not just limited to one style. You could choose a belted leather trench, a long wool coat with a belt or a shorted belted jacket that will not only help to secure your coat around you but add an interesting style feature to your garment. Dark colors work really well here, so stick to black, grey or dark blue for a sophisticated look.

If you're not convinced by the belted option, then considered the black jean or denim jacket. This is really hot right now and it provides a great alternative to regular dark or stonewashed denim. It'll even look fantastic with your jeans, so you don't have to worry about clashing shades of denim anymore. You can also pick a jacket that best suits your shape as it's available as both fitted and looser options. The dyed black denim puts a great twist on the original trend.

The last entry on our list of hot items in men's clothing is the plaid flannel shirt, which we think looks awesome when teamed with the black jean jacket as discussed above. Particularly great is the fact that flannel is breathable enough to be warm any time but will also keep you warm in the winter. You're not just limited to one color with the plaid, either, as it now comes in a range of shades, making this eternally popular shirt an even more attractive prospect.

Fashion Week Review: Spring 2011

2010-12-13T07:25:00.000-08:00

After watching a very disappointing Project Runway I decided its time to review Spring 2011 Fashion Week in NYC, Milan and Paris. I don't know about you, but I was really rooting for Mondo. So I'll start out with my two favorite looks from each collection and then move on to some other amazing designers.

I adore this Beyond Vintage dress mostly because it has that sexy, loose, seventies vibe. It's a great print, slimming and can be paired with bright jewelry to liven it up.

How can you not love the red dress. It is a standout and I am sure we'll see it on the red carpet.

I saved my all time favorite for last. I couldn't help but fall in love with this collection.

Peasant dresses, beautiful prints, flowy, carefree...I feel like putting on a dress from this collection will transport me to a town on the Italian riviera, sitting in a cafe, eating risotto, watching the sunset.

Light and casual and so perfect for breezy summer evenings, or air conditioned movie theaters

" AMMAZING SHOES "

2010-12-05T01:06:00.000-08:00

Shoes are the fashion fetish for most of the women. What do women love to shop the most? The answer would most of the times be shoes and accessories.It is wisely said, your style is largely reflected by the kind of shoes you wear.Ladies shoes come in a huge variety...........

Well let me tell you, before you condemn them out the door for all eternity, they can not be half as odd as some of the bizarre collection of shoes that I have recently stumbled across. After you feast your eyes upon this humble collection, you will realise that your old red platform numbers you now look upon with distaste, are so much more normal in comparison to these unearthly specimens. So with further ado I present my “Most Bizarre World Of Shoes“, guaranteed to make you gasp.

WIRED UP

Gone are the days when women wear shoes as a necessity and for comfort. Now, it becomes the statement of fashion, style and elegance.

I guess we have all heard the expression walking on nails. How about walking on wire?

THE GARDEN AERATORS

Still have a little energy leftover from your big day out. Do you feel like doing a little gardening ?. Well no-more do you have to buy tools to aerate the soil in your lawn. Yes that’s right, even for those who return home intoxicated, you can just stumble all over your prized couch lawn, as these little spikes dig up the grass with such ease.

THE WOODIES

Women now put so much time in shoe selection as they just love their shoes and most of them want separate ones for every occasion...

Handy for those with surplus trees in their garden and have alwas desired to carve.

FLOWER DELIGHTS

For those who prefer art over foot strain.

CINDERELLA’S MISSING GLASS SLIPPER

For the dear little Princess inside every girl.

THE BONDAGE SHOE

A much cheaper alternative to advertise bondage services than in the Yellow Pages.

THE NATURAL THERAPY SHOE

Ever been late for your acupuncture appointment ? Well how about portable spikes, bound to do the job when you can’t get the job done. A free puncture guaranteed for every step you make.

PUPPY LOVE

“How much is that doggy on your tootsies, I do hope that doggies for sale.”

Buy some portable Pups today guaranteed to screw you up even more. How good is that?

THE MOLE SHOE

Brings out the ‘mole’ in every woman. These animalistic fur-balls will without doubt, lure the man of your dreams to your den of seduction. What a little tiger you are growl!

STILT-ETTOS

Well I guess they need to straighten legs, just as braces are needed to straighten teeth.

THE BLONDE SHOE

These ones are strictly for entertainment purposes. A bit like a Rubik Cube I guess. Give a pair to a blonde in your life for Xmas and watch her stand there for hours wondering how she will take her first step. Cheaper entertainment than going to the movies.

ALL IN ONE AND ONE FOR ALL

A total break through for woman across the globe. Slip them on and ‘presto‘ you are dressed with adjoining shoes, all in the one go. Did I forget to mention give it a few hours to put them on ?

What is Mehndi?

Pakistan Mehndi Fashion Styles:

No Pakistani events, Eid, wedding is ever complete without the Mehndi. Whichever part of the country the bride may be from, her hands are adorned with the lovely red hue of the mehndi.Beauty parlors have special bridal mehndi packs - these days, the brides have a choice between the Pakistani mehndi (which covers pretty much most of the palm)

Heena-Mehndi Tattoo:

How to Create Mehndi Tattoos:

Mehndi, or henna tattoos, is a Hindu art that forms an intricate design most commonly on the feet and palms of the hand. Most commonly used during Hindu weddings, Mehndi is thought to bring good luck and fortune to the wearer

Bridal Mehndi Fashion:

Different regions of the country celebrate the ritual in a different way according to their own marriage customs, rituals, and culture.

Mehndi On Hand:

Hands are the most exposed part of the body next to the face, and are almost as expressive and indicative of the owner’s mood and meaning. But aside from a nice manicure, hands typically do not get the same attention as the face when it comes to special occasions.

Mehndi Body Art:

Mehndi The application of Mehndi as an art. Apart from clothes and jewellery, currently one can use colours on one's very skin as a way of exposing one's personality. The most familiar form of body art is the use of Mehndi. Mehndi or henna is a flowering plant whose leaves are used to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather, silk and wool.

How to Apply Mehndi?

WOMEN'S CLOTHING AND FASHION IN ANCIENT EGYPT...!

2010-04-13T09:11:00.000-07:00

WOMEN'S CLOTHING...

Unlike the modern western world, women's clothing in Ancient Egypt tended to be more conservative than that of men. Throughout the Old, Middle and New Kingdom, the most frequently used costume for women was the simple sheath dress. A rectangular piece of cloth was folded once and sewn down the edge to make a tube. The dress would extend from a few inches above the ankles to either just above or just below the breasts.

In the New Kingdom many men and women adopted a robe which could be draped in various ways. Two rectangular pieces of cloth, each about four feet by five feet and sewn together along along the narrow end, leaving a space for the neck.

The shawl, or sari, was very popular among upper class women in the New Kingdom. It consisted of a piece of cloth approximately 4 feet wide by 13 or 14 feet long. One corner was tied to a cord around her waist on the left side. Pass the material lengthwise around the back, gather up some pleats and tuck them into the cord at the front, and pass the remainder around the back and front again, passing it under the left armpit, around the back again, over the right shoulder and toss what remains back over the left shoulder, bringing it around and tie it to the end originally caught in the belt.

The shawl was often made of pleated material. Common accessories, as illustrated at left, included a pleated cape and a long colored sash that was knotted around the waist and allowed to hang almost to the floor at the front.

Most ancient Egypt fashion, regardless of the gender or society level for which it was intended, was constructed for the purposes of keeping cool in the hot, dry desert.

Fabric was generally constructed of linen, made of the flax plant, which allowed the wearer to remain comfortable in the hot climate. Most ancient Egyptian fashion costumes usually included a kilt. The kilt could server a variety of purposes, including indicating the respected age of its wearer or social position.

The ancient Egyptian fashion for woman typically included a straight caftan or shift. This changed very little throughout the history of Egypt. The sleeves might either be short or long sleeved, although it was quite common for the caftan to simply be constructed with strap sleeves to best benefit the heat. In addition, the length of the skirt worn by women might vary depending on the point in history as well as the woman's social status.

The full costume of Cleopatra dressed as Venus has almost become an icon. It is obvious from this much renowned tale that Egyptian women; at least Cleopatra was well aware of how to use ancient Egypt fashion to its full advantage. Costumes Egyptian Cleopatra wore never fail to elicit a response and as a result, historical Cleopatra costumes have become quite popular.

The pharonic headdress quite commonly seen in depictions of Egyptian kings was just one of the many headdresses common to ancient Egyptian fashions. The various gods of Egyptian mythology all also had their own headdresses and women also commonly styled their hair in elaborate fashions and donned headdresses; although not of such an elaborate style.

While fashions of ancient Egypt may well be thousands of years old, age has not stopped modern day fashion inspired by ancient Egyptian clothing. Jeweled sandals, fabric featuring hieroglyphics and scarab jewelry are just a few of the modern day fashions that have taken a twist on ancient Egyptian costumes.

Garments Production;

The Egyptian climate with its hot summers and mild winters favoured light clothing made from plant fibers, predominantly " LININE"

The manufacture of clothes was apparently mostly women's work. It was generally done at home, but there were workshops run by noblemen or other men of means. The most important textile was linen. It was produced from flax. The first stages of the linen production were performed by men:

They reaped the plants and by beating and combing the plants they extracted fibers from them, which could be spun into thread, the first of the stages often performed by women. When the cloth was still woven on horizontal looms.

which were often just pegs rammed into the ground and where the weavers had to crouch on the floor, it was generally women who performed the task. During the New Kingdom vertical looms were invented. These new looms were physically more demanding and were generally operated by men.

The Tools used such as knives and needles changed over the centuries. Blades were made from stone during the Neolithic, then from copper, from bronze during the Middle Kingdom and finally from iron, though flint knives, which had sharper edges than iron ones, continued to be used to an ever decreasing extent until Roman times. Needles were fashioned from wood, bone and metal. The Egyptians succeeded in making eyes in millimetre thick copper needles.

COSMETICS..

The sun and heat required the Egyptians to pay considerable attention to their skin and their appearance for reasons of good health as much as vanity.Egyptians bathed frequently, some several times a day. Unguents and oils were applied to the skin by both sexes. One popular mixture was made of plant extracts mixed with the fat of a cat, crocodile and hippo.Eye makeup was regularly used to provide protection from the glare of the sun and from disease bearing insects. Red ocher was applied to the lips and cheeks for the same reason women use makeup today.

Hair was a special problem. It was hot, hard to keep clean and easily infested with lice. Many solved the problem by shaving their heads and wearing a wig. The wig could be raised on small pads to allow a flow of air between the scalp and the hair and, of course, they never turned grey or bald.

Women who kept their hair were told they could enhance its natural color by rubbing in a mixture of oil and the boiled blood of a black cat or bull.

WIGS..

The most important of all the fashion accessories was the wig. Shiny, black hair, perhaps because of its association with youth and vitality, was associated with eroticism, and artificial hair was a simple way to maintain what nature neglected. Wigs served a more practical function, however. Natural hair that was thick enough to protect the wearer from the direct rays of the sun on a bright summer day or keep the heat in on a cold winter night, was much too hot to wear indoors, and a luxuriant hair-do was a breeding ground for lice. The compromise was simple: Egyptians who could afford it cut their hair short and then wore a wig. Unlike many toupee wearers of today, the Egyptians were quite proud of their wigs and made no attempt to pretend they were natural. Paintings and sculpture frequently show an area of natural hair between the forehead and the wig. While the most expensive wigs were made with real, human hair, the design and structure were such that it would be almost impossible to confuse a wig with the real thing. Egyptians were proud of their wigs and would have been distressed at the thought that someone might think they were not wearing one---or even worse, could not afford one.

Palm fiber was used to make a skull cap to fit the subject’s head. Human hair, alone or mixed with plant fiber and wool, was twisted, curled, or pleated into slender braids and attached to the cap with beeswax or resin. Various dyes were used to produce the desired black. The basic structure remained the same throughout Egyptian history, but many variations were possible, and the style varied over time with the age, gender, and social class of the wearer.

Old Kingdom women wore wigs with two or three lairs of very tight braids across the top of the head and down both sides and the back. There may or may not have been a part in the middle. Several additional layers were added underneath to make the sides so much fuller.

In addition to having or not having a part in the middle, Old Kingdom wigs varied in length. Simpler style stopped anywhere between the top of the shoulders and just below the ears, a fuller version of what today might be called a bob. There were two very popular styles with hair going down to the breasts. The tripartite wig, as the name suggested, was divided into three parts. Two extended behind the ears and down the sides of the face and the front of the body as far as the breasts. A third part went down the back as far as the shoulder blades. The enveloping wig was similar in size, but covered the ears and circled from one side, around the back, to the other side in one piece rather than three. The length of the braids varied to allow them to fall freely to the breasts at the front, to the shoulders at the sides, and down the back to the shoulder blades.
