Autumn/Winter 2013 : ROYAL BLUE JACKETS

Soon enough summer will be left behind and will be time to get out of the closet our jackets and tops-how ever fashion changes from year to year and so does colors-and for this autumn the royal blue is going to be a hot trend. It is better if you get shopping while everything is one sale so you maybe can get a good deal while buying it ahead time. Royal Blue jackets are perfect to wear both for day wear as well as special occasions; it all depends on the design and material. The best way to combine royal blue jackets is with black dresses or tops. Black is a classy color that matches with everything but in particular royal blue. Pink is beautiful color that matches very well with royal blue jackets; if you love colors and don’t like to go all in dark (black, brown, grey) then choose a pink top or dress to combine your blue royal jacket. About the design, there are all different styles you can choose from – short, long, ruffles, embellishments or plain simple designs. It all depends on your personal style. Below I have collected some of the best royal blue jackets for this autumn/winter 2013.

Roses Nail Design

The floral print is a total hit this summer. That`s why we would like to show you how to make cute, little roses on your nails easily. This lovely nail design will go perfect with your summer wardrobe and it is ideal for both the beach and the disco.

Start with a base coat, which will protect your nails from getting yellow. Once it is completely dry, paint your nails with jade (or minty) green nail polish.

To draw the beautiful roses you will need a dotting tool, red and medium pink nail polish. Each nail can accommodate three or four roses, depending on the area.

You will need a drop of each nail polish, because it will make it easier to work with the dotting tool Start with the red and draw an arc in the top left corner ,  then 4 arcs, one into another, as shown at the bottom left corner and two arcs with one starting point in the middle of the right side.

Clean the dotting tool and use the medium pink to draw  two arcs above and under the first arc in the top left side, fill in the spaces between and above the arcs at the bottom left side and repeat the procedure with the arcs in the middle of the right side.

Now it is time to make the forms look like real roses. Use the dotting tool to make more arcs as shown on the picture in order to get a round shape of the forms and a beautiful blend between red and medium pink. If there is enough space, do not hesitate to draw one more rose at the bottom right side.

Use green polish to draw leaves. If you look closer the roses are not precise, but actually this is the secret to give them a “real look” on your nails.

When the roses are completely dry, apply a top coat and enjoy the summer.

How to Make a Basic Homemade Facial Scrub: Green Tea,Sugar and Honey

Green Tea,Sugar and Honey

1. Brew a mug of extra-strength green tea. Green tea is said to have anti-aging effects when applied to the skin. It reduces wrinkles and blemishes, and even repair scar tissue.

• For best results, use loose green tea and a tea ball or strainer, rather than using a bag of green tea.
• If you're using bagged green tea, go with plain tea, rather than flavored. This will give you a more concentrated result.

2. Pour a Tablespoon or two of brewed tea into a bowl. Allow the tea to cool.

3. Pour a Tablespoon of sugar into the tea. Keep adding sugar until the mixture has a consistency that's gritty enough to scrub your skin, but still wet enough to apply easily.

4. Stir in a Tablespoon of honey. Make sure it's thoroughly mixed in. Honey has great moisturizing and antibacterial properties.

• To store this scrub for later, put the mixture in a jar sealed with a lid. Keep it in a cool, dry place. It should last for several weeks.

5. Apply the scrub to a freshly washed face. Rub the scrub all over your face, concentrating in spots that are dry. Use a wet washcloth to remove the scrub, and splash cold water over your face when you're finished.

How to Wear Leggings

For many years now leggings have been in women’s wardrobe no matter the age. We have all seen leggings with dress, boots, sportive clothes and so on. Many women don’t ‘dare’ to wear leggings feeling it won’t suit their body shape but the truth is leggings can be wore by everyone, no matter their body type, all it needs is confidence.

Tips on how to wear leggings:

1- Start with basics: if you are about to explore the leggings world, I would recommend you start with basic colors such as black or brown.

2-Try different lengths: Leggings come in different length, from capri to ankle. Currently the ankle length is the hottest one, but you can try different length and find out which one suits better to your body type.

3-Consider your shape: If you are curvy, you probably know that dark colors make you look slimmer. Try black or brown leggings for a perfect flattering look.

4- Don’t forget, leggings aren't pants: and should not be wear as such. When you wear leggings keep in mind to wear a long top.
