Find The Right Denim For Your Shape

SerenadasPen@gmail.com (SerenadasPen) — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 02:43:00 -0400

The Best Denim Picks

Brought to you by LuckyMag.com

PETITE: Skinny styles that are a bit longer. Look for a tapered ankle (wide legs are too bulky) & roll up the hem for a cute cuffed look.

I'm 5'3 and wear any style that makes me feel the most comfortable and looks presentable. If you find that wide leg makes you feel sexy and it works for you then do your thing. Try the look above if it works for your particular shape as a petite. We're not all skinny, for instance I have full thighs, leaner calves, and "barely there" hips (boy-like shape). For me I choose jeans with "give" (stretch, Lycra, spandex, & cotton for comfort all together). If it doesn't have any "give" then it will be a challenge to pull-on let alone wear.

HOURGLASS:Look for jeans that have a 'high' rise 9"to 13" length meaning the waistline of the pant rests above your natural waistline. The purpose of this is to give a streamline (slim-sleek look) from eye-vantage point creating a defined appearance by cinching in the waist and accentuating (bringing more loveliness to..) your curves.

BOYISH:Color can be your saving grace - it's eye-catching & accentuates your natural silhouette. Choose a pair with a bit of bulk/heaviness. Anything super-tight or super-thin runs the risk of toothpick legs

FULL HIPS & THIGHS:Flare is key. Keep things lean by choosing a style that billows out below the knee for a straight line from the tummy to thighs. A flat-front, slightly high waist and slim pockets prevent any extra bulk. Less bulk creates a slimmer result.

TUMMY:Boot cut rocks for you. The clean lines and a straight fit throughout the leg streamline everything.Find this style with at least 2% spandex for a little stretch and a low-rise that won't cut into the tummy.

Autumn & Fall Style Scope For Guys. Get In On The Trend That Keeps You Casual & Sharp.

SerenadasPen@gmail.com (SerenadasPen) — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:16:00 -0400

7 Fall Trends For Men

Hey Guys As We Transition Into Autumn. Fall. Then Winter

2013 Brings A Casual Sophistication To Your Attire That Should Amp Up Your Cutey Factor

While Keeping You Content & Happy To Wear Them!

Brittany Anas - fem from "Shop At Home" Gives Her Go-To Pieces For Your Fly Fall Gear.

POINTS OF REFERENCE: Bow Ties, Slim Khakis, Plaid, Camouflage, & Denim

1. Change Up Your Neckwear

"Nobody is wearing ties anymore - It's about bow ties and pocket squares."

- stylist m - Anthony Henderson

Upper West Side Bow Tie

Camo-inspired pocket-square

Go for pocket squares in a rugged fabric like wool, not the silky types.

(You're aiming for casual-hipster)

Brooks Brothers Wool Plaid Pocket Square

2. Plaid Comeback

"Expect to see plaid in suiting, bags, and even shoes. If you work in a conservative office setting try a glen plaid pattern made up of grays or dark blues."

Grey Plaid Moby Hi-top Sneakers

Volcom VS2 Mid Slip On Skate Shoes

NORDSTROM Jil Sander Glen Plaid Suit

READ more on Glen Plaid at Dress To Impress

Keeping the colors in the same color palette allows for a suit that seems almost solid from far away and you don't notice the slight pattern until you are much closer.

- Joshua Kercher; m - co-owner & designer with Sebastion Grey Clothiers in New York & Chicago

3. Slim Tailoring

"Slim-cut suits with razor-sharp tailoring and a shorter outseam length on trousers is a look that will be around for awhile."

Think cuffed trousers that show a bit of ankle or a fun pair of socks.

Boy Casual Slim-Cut Suit

Slim-Cut Suit

A banker with a well-tailored suit can usually get away with a trouser that is hemmed to fall at the top of the shoe, while a guy in a more creative workplace could wear a cuffed shorter trouser a bit higher with a top sneaker or boot.

- Joshua Kercher; m - co-owner & designer with Sebastion Grey Clothiers in New York & Chicago

4. Camouflage

"Camo is cool, but stick to just one printed piece per outfit because this is a trend that can go wrong quickly."

Camouflage pants, for instance, are probably the toughest to pull off but accessories can still bring in the trend.

Mister Green bracelet

Military Stretch bracelet

Zoo York silver-tone camouflage analog & digital chronograph watch

Bags, belts, gloves, and winter knit hats can be great ways to try out the style this fall without going overboard.

- Joshua Kercher; m - co-owner & designer with Sebastion Grey Clothiers in New York & Chicago

5. Blend Casual with Tailored Elements

"Instead of wearing jeans, wear a great pair of slim khakis to make the look more polished.

Instead of a sweater over a button-up shirt with a jacket, try a crew sweatshirt instead.


Dockers Men's Alpha Slim Fit Pant

Men's Crew-neck

Gone are the days of the uniform suit and tie or khakis and a polo for men.

Pair a textured sweater like a shaker stitch or fisherman's sweater
- with dark slim denim

Men's Slim-fit Dark Denim

Fisherman's sweater

- Christiane Pendarvis; fem - vice president and general manager for Old Navy men's apparel.

6. Update Last Year's Look with Color

"I am especially loving the new, unexpected but very wearable colors in men's this season

- burgundy, teal, cinnamon, and mustard yellow.

All are great colors for fall."

Men can add a pair of neutral colored jeans - think navy, gray, or khaki - to their wardrobe because they'll work with shirts they already have. Or, they can add a new color to their shirts."

- Christiane Pendarvis; fem - vice president and general manager for
Old Navy men's apparel.

Or alternate with colored- denim to your wardrobe and pair up with shirts you already have.

7. Wear Denim on top

"For the guy who wants to look current, but be a little safe, he can wear a chambray shirt instead of a true denim shirt - paired with khakis and a colored T-shirt underneath.

For men with a more cutting-edge fashion sense try the denim-on-denim look."

Old Navy has several variations of denim shirts in its new arrivals section this fall. They're easier to style than most men think.

Don't try to match the washes. The different light and dark shades work together to create a great look.

- Christiane Pendarvis; fem - vice president and general manager for Old Navy men's apparel.

FOR THE GUYS: Keep Looking Great With These Top 10

SerenadasPen@gmail.com (SerenadasPen) — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 12:54:00 -0400

Consider Exercise Non-negotiable

"The No. 1 way to improve your appearance is to get fit."

The dreaded and/or the beloved labor of love for the human spirit. You can either hate it, love it, or cope with it but it's something we all need to do to keep ourselves in tip-top shape. Besides guys we love to see you sweat lol. Yea I said it! There's nothing hotter than a guy working out and showing a discipline we rarely see anywhere else, unfortunately. I've heard the usual 30 minutes a day per workout or exercise routine. It may not be easy to do with work, home life, and other obligations so we must make it work in our lives. First thing before you start your day amp up your endorphins for a charge. It's better than starting off the day like a snail or a sloth.

Drink Eight Glasses Of Water A Day

"Staying hydrated keeps you healthy and reduces the appearance of wrinkles."

Not only does staying hydrated keeps you healthy and reduces the appearance of wrinkles it keeps you from passing out from extreme heat like what what's been going on lately with this global warming phenomenon. How many times have I seen this. I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible to drink 8 glasses of water a day without feeling the need to run to the toilet every second! The only downfall.

Water is also in the food we eat so make sure you add fresh vegetables and fruits like watermelon, all melons, peaches, oranges. tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms to your diet. If water is not your thing try Gatorade which is filled with electrolytes if you're active. As a kid I didn't think I would ever like water because it was "tasteless" but over time it became customary to drink it since my mother is an avid water drinker. Now I love it. Try flavoring to add to your water if you need that taste like Crystal Light or any other brand that works for you. And I aint talking about Kool-Aid neither!

Get Eight Hours Of Sleep

"Those seven to nine hours that you should be spending unconscious every day are when your body repairs itself."

Are you wondering who really does that?!? Sometimes I wonder too, but I will say from first hand experience there was one night where I actually had 7 hours non-stop rest and felt like I could fly around the world the next day. I kid you not! It was a shame my time was spent working at a slow-moving, boring, retail store during the weekday because I felt like running a mile. When you get enough sleep in a night you will soooo notice it. I'm usually up late watching tv or blogging therefore I'm depriving myself of the beauty sleep. So guys do your mind and body a favor and hit the sack for those 8 hours and actually feel the difference the next day! If you can't do 8 then try 6-7 hours. It's way better than 2 or 3 hours.

Unless you want everyone to see your Halloween costume early as a haggard zombie then be my guest.

Avoid Sugar And Simple Carbs

"Lean protein. veggies, slow-digesting grains, & healthy fats will reduce bloating and decrease puffiness."

In a world of quick, accessible, and "fast" fast food many of us are forgetting how to eat "correctly." Are you getting the feeling that you're being lectured about your fruits and vegetables? Well guess what today is your lucky day... you are! Even though that double cheeseburger with thick cut fries and vanilla milkshake with the caramel drizzle is the bizness do you really think it's best to eat that everyday or more than two times a week? I mean seriously on the real, I love my burgers, fries, tacos, pasta, fried chicken and every other yummy creation known to man but you can actually get so much out of eating all the right stuff if you make it work for your taste. If you don't know how to cook then try small with already prepared meals. Check the sodium and fat content on the nutrition label, be aware if it's in a can (possibly contains a lot of sodium), packaged, or in the frozen food section (vegetables and fruits are "flash frozen" sealing in a nutritional value even more substantial than regular produce).

What I've done is taken the traditional "college student staple" ramen noodles and Hamburger Helper and opted for alternative ingredients suggested on the box with milk and butter. Use olive oil and more of it if it's mentioned. During the cooking process I've added fresh vegetables (asparagus, kale, mustard greens, arugula, spinach, various mushrooms, green, red, and orange peppers, squash, zucchini squash, cherry tomatoes, carrots) that enhance the meal with a lean meat like roasted or baked skinless chicken, beef, steak, or even Italian sausage. Try different variations for your liking and see what great dishes you come up with! Also check your seasoning for its sodium content and learn how to taste your food as it's cooking. You can add in but you can't take out so add a little at a time. I've been culprit to adding salted water that I've cooked my veggies in to my Hamburger Helper (trying to short-cut and not have an extra pot of hot water) and made the worst accident of creating overly-seasoned food that ended up mostly getting shoved down the disposal. Don't make the same mistake I made!

Don't be a stranger to grains neither. Try whole wheat bread or whole wheat pasta, use almond flour instead of regular flour if you bake, and use specific oils for certain cooking like canola is best for marinades, dressings, and sauteing whereas vegetable oil is best for frying, baking, and cooking. Olive oil is the best for browning meats, marinades, dressings and sauteing vegetables. Check the bottle for what the olive oil is specifically good for and get a good large size on sale or at a good price because it is the GOOD oil with the healthy kinda fat you want to have around. And not to be graphic but you will notice how much easier your passages will feel when it's time to hit the potty. Just had to add that fact!

Cleanse, Moisturize, Apply Eye Care Cream, And Use Lip Balm Every Morning

"A basic skin care routine is an absolute must for improving your appearance."

Ok so I'm no psychic but why do I have the feeling there are groans happening all across the board?!??

Yes, it looks like a "beauty routine" that's meant for us girls but it's a new age fellas. I think it's time to re-do the scheme of things for what "girls do" and what "guys do". No more what's macho and what's "sissy". This is 2013 and you [all of you] are too fine to be walking around not caring about the pimple or zit that is scattered in multiples across your face, the oil slick across your forehead and nose, or those dry chapped lips you constantly flip under doing the "LL COOL J" to keep them from drying out.

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and I promise after you do it you'll notice a big difference! You'll feel like you removed an old face and put on a new one. Always follow up with moisturizer or you'll feel like a dry itchy piece of hay. Why go through the trouble just to feel like that?!? So don't forget it!

Throw that rag you usually wash your face with somewhere else and actually buy yourself worthy products that keep your skin looking its best! We promise we won't judge because it shows you care just as much about the damaging affects of the sun (UV rays, skin cancer, i.e.) and the aging breakdown of your youthfulness you don't want to see. You are trying to stay fly right?

Shave After Showering

"Will open up your pores, plump up and soften your facial hair which will reduce chances of developing ingrown hairs and experiencing razor burn."

Shaving is never fun. Actually I hate it and the smelly old-school NAIR product is even more annoying and messy for us ladies. Whether it's wax strips, standard or electrical shavors, all of them are a job Guys be lucky you don't have to stress over the hair-removal routine like we do. There has to be truth to the heat though. There's something about supple, moisture tinged skin that does change the follicle of hair.

I'm sure someone out there has experienced the same stinging moment like our boy in the movie "Home Alone." Enough reason to try this out.

See A Barber Every Three To Six Weeks

"Keeping your hair trimmed is an easy way to ensure that you look polished."

It's all about looking the part. Not on a superficial note guys whatsoever. There's something about getting hair trimmed and even that makes us all feel better. If you're going for the long hair look then you should want to at least keep it looking well kept up as if you know what you're doing. You don't want to look like a walking hobo, just saying. In my opinion, if you're going to be chill and relax with your look then make sure it looks well-maintained and then it won't look like you don't give a d*mn. The reaction will be more, "Oh he got that laid back look going on but he makes it look GREAT." It's the little things that make the big difference then everything else just follows suit.

Floss Every Day And Whiten Teeth Every Six Months

"For a more attractive smile, nothing beats regular flossing as it gets rid of any unsightly build up...a drugstore whitening kit, [ ] will do an excellent job of lightening the color of your teeth."

Makes a big difference when you floss and when you don't. I try my best to do it every night before I go to sleep usually after watching an episode from one of the notorious reality tv shows or more "traditional" tv shows. The best time to do it is before I start feeling "sleepy" because then I won't do it.

Making it an every day effort definitely keeps your chompers and gums healthy. Also reduces plaque build-up and you know how unsightly that looks. We've all seen grills with the white or even worse that icky dark brown or green gunk hidden between teeth. Yup, ugly and disgusting right? So keep your valleys free of debris and floss at least before you go to bed during your nighttime brushing routine. If you're prone to falling asleep or feeling too tired get it in sometime during the evening after that last major meal, just one quick swipe from side, middle, and side then you good. You might as well brush and swish the good ole' mouthwash too, you're already in the cleaning mood anyways! There's a mouthwash that was recommended to me the last time I went to the orthodontist called ACT Total Care for its fluoride content & a new brand by Listerine with Fluoride [Click here for coupon]. It's purple as opposed to the traditional green liquid. Plackers are handy if you don't want to worry about the traditional menthol string. By the time you visit your orthodontist for your 6 month cleaning you'll impress your dentist and give them less work to do because you did most of it! Plus you're keeping your heart healthy by taking care of your lovely mouth.

DID YOU KNOW: Your mouth is vulnerable while you sleep. That's because your mouth is dry, which allows plaque and gingivitis germs to multiply. READ >>> Listerine benefits at night & during the day.

WHAT DOES THE DENTIST RECOMMEND? READ >>> If you have sensitive teeth and more!

Shampoo No More Than Once A Day

"Ideally, you should wash your hair no more than a few times a week as over-shampooing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dull and brittle."

True that! And as a black female this is like a "rule of thumb" because usually the protocol is 2 weeks before water hits this scalp lol. What I've come to understand is it's OK to have a little water get into the crevices of this coily hair because our scalps need water too! Some of us may prohibit it but we know we need a little bit every once in awhile. My past hair stylists have told me it's important to not over-wash hair because you're washing away all the good oils your scalp naturally produces. Every time you comb your hair those oils help to keep your mane shiny, healthy, and most importantly sexy. So guys read on further at the source link below because these reasons are true for you if you have a routine of working out. And kudos for keeping yourself looking fly!

Change Your Bedsheets

"Dirty pillow cases are a prime reason for breakouts, so switching your sheets once a week will reduce your skin's contact with pore-clogging grime"

This is seriously true guys. I've noticed break-outs on my cheeks and forehead and never thought about my pillow case being the cause. With the hair products used in my hair after going to the hairdresser and build-up of residue and hair oils over time absorbs into the pillow. If you're a "wild" sleeper, meaning you remember falling asleep face up and wake up the next morning with your face deep into the pillow then this applies to you. Back in the day I used to sleep like crazy, but I've calmed down since getting older lol. You can't deny there's nothing better than feeling the soft coolness of fresh new bed sheets and changing out a pillow for a clean one. Notice the smell, doesn't it just make you feel better? I love laying my face into a clean pillow and believe me it's a challenge to sleep in a manner that prevents you from waking up the next day with your face pressed up against it but as long as you think of how much better your skin will be when your girl friend wants to touch your face or kiss your cheek or when you have a hot date to go on you'll do this more frequently. Your skin is a window, just like your eyes, to show the world how much you care about yourself and that you take pride and the utmost care in your health.

Mid-Level MIDI is Befitting For Office To Nightlife

SerenadasPen@gmail.com (SerenadasPen) — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 15:40:00 -0400

Capture Your Inner Cottonista with the "Maxed Out" Midi Dress!

READ More here!

MAXI Dresses are long, comfortable, and flowy allowing for you to embrace your inner goddess.

There are many fun and vibrant prints and color washes in these long gowns that can be found from spring to summer.

The MIDI defines the curves with its form-fitting silhouette that can be worn from day to night.

It doesn't have to just be for slender, statuesque figures. The great thing is it can be meant for all body types. You may wonder if its "hugging of the curves" feature will prevent you from breathing and walking but do not fret. It serves all purposes when you find the one that best suits your personality and is the correct sizing. Hitting at the knee is attractive for body types allowing some leg to show while providing length.

It's time for women of all shapes and sizes to be comfortable with wearing pieces that do not billow or hang two sizes two big for them. There's a difference between form-fitting and "skin-tight". At least you know with form-fitting it's meant to mold to the shape of your body. Don't worry about the love-handles and the "back fat". If it's a major issue find comfortable and reliable undergarment support to smooth out those areas. We're all not meant to look the same so we might as well embrace what we have and find what works for it. You're a fashionista no matter what size you are!

Having a toned back is a major want to wear such attention-grabbing designs.

The salmon pink looks nice in contrast to her tanned brown skin.

I've seen plenty of dresses with all the seduction in the back to bring a man to his knees.

One of my favs is the dress Paula Patton wore in her husband Robin Thicke's video

What these heels are Saying To Me...

TRANSFORMERS

Look at the center and tell me it doesn't remind you of Voltron Force!

Remember that Cartoon from the 80's ?!?

For Current Audiences it has The Transformers affect since everyone is familiar with the movie even though it was also a 80's cartoon.

It just looks like her foot has a transformer latched onto it.
