how to wear: jumpsuits

 jumpsuits can be worn  any time, any day. but is also a bit of a tough item, too. first of all, it is most of the time bulky, not a good thing for those who needed to wear these to make their body more flattering. plus, it comes in hard sizes, but, most of all, it can be chic. how to wear it flatteringly chic, wear alot of jewelry! it gives even a plain solid colored jumpsuit a bit of rich-ness. one of the best thing of flattering your jumpsuit is: belts. the best belts are thin and leather. the best color for a jumpsuit is: 
if its a red jumpsuit: dark dark brown belt
purple jumpsuit: light caramel 
pink jumpsuit: white belt
yellow jumpsuit: light brown belt
black jumpsuit: black or white belt
and, belts can be untied and put in your purse. earrings are good too for tweeking the look of a jumpsuit. gold ,brown, black,silver, or white earrings can be worn with any color of jumpsuit. so if you want to start suits, start jumping!

Trend: Knit Fab


knits, the chic thing for this season. this poncho looks great with a yellow tank (tank has flower graphic) and flared jeans, brown crinkle boots. and a wooven basket bag with leather straps and inside pockets. top it off with glass bead necklaces (beads are green/yellow/hot pink/brown) and gold hoop earrings and bangles. this outfit is for spring and summer.

exterior design trend: faux plants


okay,well. you know that i only posted one teeny tiny post about exterior design. well, i guess i don't like exterior design as i like interior design, but now i'm starting to like exterior design. okay, do these plants look real to you? well, any florist or interior/exterior designer {someone like me:) can always tell the truth by looking at it: its... oh let me say it elegantly, its faux (faux means fake in manners). and i found it on ebay. they are 3 x potted "ivy"- 24" (60cm) artifilcial silk faux plant. it is elegant for using for patio and outdoor parties, or just for looking at. and the great thing is that you don't have to water it everyday! i bet you know how nervewracking it is to water plants all day, and then the next day they wilt, real plants are, very picky and snobby. but, these aren't, although the bad thing is when one of your guests ask you "oh, look at these plants! are they real?" and you have to blush, because it is embarssing telling them "no, they aren't" and even more embarssing when they start to look gloomy and say "oh *sigh*" but, these are sure beauties though!

flare: the meaning of it


okay, so i'm always talking about pants, right? and i'm always talking about flared pants. well, flared pants mean pants on the top is narrow, and the bottom is widens, it is, rather chic. like this picture (chic, huh?) it is narrow on the top, and when it goes to the knee, it widens the pants, giving it a whole new meaning to the word "pants". so, if you were wondering what flared pants mean and scratching your heads, i think i made my point that you know know.

fashion spotlight: summer florals

get summery with this new summer trend! you can beat the cherry blossoms by blooming with a stunningly floral tunic, like this one for example. and for a key style trick: florals best fabrics are silk! (really, if i see someone wearing a basket with florals on it, i would be surprised!) so, if you are going to wear florals, do it with silk, i would be very happy.

on my mind: iced green tea lemonade

 okay, so i haven't been posting anything about iced green tea. do i really love it? of course! its the only thing i really order at starbucks. you see, i get it unsweetened, and then i sweeten it with the suger brand, suger in the raw, that is the best kind of suger they have there. trust me, you'll be in heaven. plus, if your those kind of health foodies, well these iced green tea lemonades aren't junk drinks. lemon and green tea are the keys to health drinks. so don't be trying to be on a "iced green tea lemonade" diet! and i drink these, like, everyday, every week, every month, every year. i'm like the expert of iced green tea lemonades, nobody nevers gets some much of these drinks as i do. so, keep sipping, and i'll be posting very very soon!

how to wear it: the little black dress


you may be thinking that the little black dress is only for cocktail parties and special events, but that is never true. it can be for casual dates, walking along the park. it can be anywhere! the best way to wear it for walking along the park or going to the market, is with a brown suede belt. a brown suede belt can make any fancy dress look very casual and simple. to make it more fun are some white chunky heels or brown pumps. too make it more casual top it off with a easy-to-carry bag (which could be black or brown, or white, if you wear white heels!) so, there you go, the perfect way to make a little black dress to a little casual dress! viloa!

movie review: vanity fair

okay,have you seen "vanity fair" the movie? (not the magazine) its about a girl who lives with her father, whos a painter. and when he dies she goes and lives near the place for young ladies, where she is put a maid. when she gets older she gets to travel with her friend over the country to meet their friends. to end the story shortly, she gets merried and has a baby boy. what i wanted to say is, its a very dramatic movie. it doesn't mean that if it has reese witherspoon in it doesn't mean its non-dramatic like legally blonde! anyway, 5 stars for this movie!

dior ads are fashionable


okay, so you've seen the dior ads in magazines didn't you? ok, do they look nice? but, some of them are really crazy, but most of the time, they are pretty nice. like this one, for example, this one. isn't this one nice? i mean, is a purse ad? because shes holding it like shes showing the purse. but, i like it. and i always see it on the web. anyway, please comment to tell about other neat ads. thanks alot!

fashion finds: red halter top


i found this red halter top by ebay. its Karen Millen silk beaded brooch blouse halter top in a size 4 and main color is red. although the behind is quite nice, one sheer fabric is longer then the rest which might mean it needs cropping by a tailer. but, its still a really nice halter. it would be perfect for flared jeans, brown boots, a jean jacket of the same color of the jeans, gold hoop earrings, and a red purse of the same color.

moonlight garden dress


i found this on etsy.com/. its a purple dress with decorations of garden flowers. this dress is from idea2lifestyle if you would like to buy it on etsy. and the price is 72.00 $ and to search for it either type in search box "moonlight garden" or "purple tunic". i thought it would be good with jeans (flared ones), brown leather purse with two outside pockets and copper clasp, gold hoop earrings, and a brown suede string necklace.
