Sexy Miniskirts



Let your sexy legs
show! That's what
sexy miniskirts are
all about!

Sport a sexy miniskirt
this fall with a body-
hugging knit sweater and
knee or thigh-high
boots. You will look
absolutely fabulous
not to mention very
stylish.

When wearing the
miniskirt make sure
that your top isn't short
so that you look classy,
not trashy.

The sexiest miniskirts
come in plaid fabrics,
neutral colours, as well
as metallics.

Wear the sexy miniskirts
during a night out and you'll
be sure to attract a lot of attention!

The New Eyebrows


This year don't settle
for skinny, anorexic
eyebrows, but
instead go with
the new eyebrows,
big and beautiful!

This fall, big, bushy,
natural eyebrows are
in. Now that doesn't
mean that you don't
have to pluck anymore,
it just means that you
should let out your
natural eyebrow shape
as well as let them
grow a little fuller.

Bigger eyebrows define
your face as well as
make your eyes look bigger.

So make sure you let
those eyebrows
grow to their full
potential so that
you can look fabulous!

preferably in black, and top
it off with a sexy skirt.

Wear a dark red dress.
Top it off with dark red
lips and throw on
some red nailpolish. This
fall fashion will have you

heels with it!

Fall Hairstyles



I know it's confusing
to keep up with today's
styles, especially
when it comes to hair.
One second it's straight,
the next is wavy, and so on.





W
ell this fall get ready
to sport soft, natural looks.
Straight cut bangs are out,
while side bangs are totally
in.

Soft tousled waves are
a big hit this fall. Make sure
that you keep your mane
looking soft, healthy, and
shiny by using a deep
conditioner once a week.

Also in this fall, is short
hair. Look for Jessica
Simpson's new do, which is
a straight cut right above
the shoulders.

Tempting Textures


Weather you're into silk,
satin, leather, or anything
else, you obviously love all
different kinds of fabrics
and textures.

These tempting textures
are hot off the press and
sexier than ever. Wear
these unbelievably sexy
and tempting textures
this fall and you will look
absolutely fabulous!

The lurex is a metallic yarn
and it is so chic and glam. Make
sure that if you do wear lurex
that you keep your accessories
to a minimum as well as
keep it to once piece.

Leather is back in this fall
and it looks supersophisticated
and hot. This tempting texture
looks best when going for
ultratrim takes.

Animal print is also
hot this fall. Probably
the most tempting texture
of all, the animal print
will make you look fierce just
make sure that you wear one
piece and that you don't mix!

The New Trends


Step out of your shell and
make a bold statement with
these new trends. They are
very chic, sexy and not to
mention that they make you
feel like a million bucks!

Velvet is back in style ladies!
To max out the feel of this fabric,
skip light velvets and go for rich,
dark colours instead.





L
ace is the next fabric up. Gauzy
goods can look prim, but when worn
with sheers and sexy shapes, they're
so not!

Last but not least we have knit.
Very appropriate for the fall
as well, knit is not only
warm and comfortable, but
very sexy as well. Score a long,
lean silhouette by sticking to body-
hugging knits.

Super Shiny Hair


Ever wonder how
celebrities get super shiny
hair all the time? Sure they
have hairstylists working around
the clock, but those stylists
like to share their secrets!

When blowdrying, make sure
that you blowdry at the lowest
setting so that your hair follicles
won't burn. When the blowdrier is
at the highest setting, your strands will
end up looking damaged and fried.

So next time you want super shiny hair,
just blowdry at the lowest setting with your
hair upside down for mega volume. After
you have finished, rub a styling cream
between your palms, then graze just the
outside layer of the hair with the shine
enhancer.

By not raking the fingers throughout your
hair, it leaves a smooth, ultrapolished finish.
For this super shiny hair formula, try Hamadi
Shea Leave in which is $22.

Tame Those Curls


For those of you with
curly hair, life can get pretty
tough sometimes. Too many curls,
too little time, too many frizzies...no
time at all!

There are many products out
there that say they can get rid of hair
fuzz and make the hair smooth and shiny.
Unfortunately, we all know that's just a bunch
of crap. Most of them don't work very well
and even if they do, by the end of the night
your hair will still be the same!

So a pro hairstylist came up with a great
idea, and it works too! Check this out!
To fight those fuzzy hairlines, put a
pea-sized amount of hair wax on an old
toothbrush, then smooth the coils into
submission.

No expensive products, no searching
for anything, just straight and simple!
Grab your old toothbrush, get a little wax,
and tame those curls!

The Ultimate Face Mask


Once in a while your faces needs
some TLC. I'm talking about the
weekly face mask that everyone
should do. But of course, who
sticks to their routines anymore?

Either way it's important
to remember that a weekly mask
does your face good. It cleans out your
pores, gets rid of any residue, and
moisturizes it.

Y
ou should make yourself a face
mask once a week. After that, follow up
with some moisturizing toner
and a good moisturizing cream.
It's basically a mini-facial for your face!

So how can you max out your
mask without spending a lot of dough?
Well whatever your mask is made out of
you should know that you can always
warm it up. Before putting it on your
face, take your blowdryer and warm it
up for a few seconds.

You'll see how amazingly good it feels
(not to mention super relaxing).
Because the mask will be warm, your
face will get a super-cleansing with this
ultimate face mask as well as it will
be really moisturized.

It's very easy to do, very inexpensive
and you reap all the benefits from the
ultimate face mask...you'll melt over it!

perfect skin? You make your
own mixture so that you too

With this mix, your skin

Perfect Eyeshadow

As you probably know
already, your eyeshadow
doesn't really last that long.
You put it on in the morning
and by night time, it's either
gone, or very faint.

There is a very simple, and
cheap way of making sure that
your eyeshadow stays on
all throughout the day and
looks perfect.

To get this perfect eyeshadow
look all you have to do
is wet your eyeshadow brush before
dipping it into the actual eyeshadow
powder. Try MaxFactor MAXeye
Shadows. They're known
for all day last as well as no-creases.

Use this trick and I guarantee you
that your eyeshadow will look
perfect all throughout your busy day!

Plump Lips


Make your lips be
as memorable as your
outfit! Weather you're going
to a party, or just hanging out
with friends, your lips can
look fabulous with a few easy steps!

Grab a lip exfoliator and use
it on your lips once a week. Make
sure you rub the exfolitaor
in circular motion. Your lips
will feel so smooth and hydrated
you'll be addicted to them!

Next, use a moisturizing chapstick
with SPF. This will help keep your
lips soft and moistuirized as well as
protect them from harsh weather.

Apply a neutral lip liner to the
contour of your lips. Now to create
that sexy, stained-lip effect, use your
finger to press a deep rose lipstick onto
your moth. And voila! Sexy as ever!
Try Cover Girl Continuous Colour
Lipstick in Classic red.

Foundation Trick


Have you ever wondered
how stars get their picture
perfect faces? Sure it
might be a little airbrushing
here and there, expert makeup
artists, and a lot of work
but there's also a little
trick that you can do at home
to get that same effect!

When using foundation, make
sure you pick one that matches your
skin tone. Preferably, one tint darker
than your skin tone. You can test this
while you're at the store by putting
a little bit of foundation on the back
of your hand.

Most makeup artists prefer to
apply foundation using a damp
makeup sponge. It sheers out the
compound which can be either
cream or liquid so that it blends
better and looks smoother.

The warmer the water is
on the sponge, the easier the base
glides on!

Plump Up Your Brows


You know when you're all
ready to go out and you smear
on a little bit of lipgloss, but
then you noticed some loose
brow hairs? I'm sure this has
happened to every girl before.
But the most annoying thing is
that because you're in such a rush,
you might pluck a little too much.

Unfortunately, small, thin
brows aren't that in anymore. Now
you need to figure out ways to plump
up your brows. Think of it as
putting the volume back in your hair.
It goes the same for your brows.

So what exactly do you do when you
overpluck? You plump up your brows
by using brow wax. All the stars use it
and it does wonders! It's like hair wax,
so it makes your brows appear thicker
while smoothing them.

If you want those perfect plumped up
brows make sure you grab some brow wax.
Try Anastasia Brow Pomade which is
only $25.

Designer Rip-Off


Once in a while, we all
indulge ourselves in the
sweet sin of designer
shopping. Designer
shopping is basically
shopping that most
of us can't afford. That
$150 top, the $500 shoes,
etc. These all cost most of
us an arm and a leg, but for
some reason, we still come
back and buy more!

In the end, we all know it
doesn't even matter. It's
just the name behind the
fabric. The name behind
the product. Regardless, a
lot of these designer brands
are a better quality as well
as they look a lot better!

Sure, those Gucci shoes look
amazing and the Bebe pants
make you look fabulous, but
these are just clothes. What
about make-up? What about
face products? Well for starters,
if you really want to know why
exactly they're so expensive
other than the designer name,
look for the ingredients. Even
if they're not printed on the
label, look it up on the net!
Trust me, it's worth it!

I've tried several very
expensive name brand face
products and let me tell you,
I have not seen a very big
difference between them and
the regular, waaay cheaper
products that I usually
purchase. I am not saying
that all designer products are
rip-offs, but a lot of them are
just name based.

These companies know that
they have loyal customers who
will remain with that brand name.
But, if you want to be really smart,
you have to steer clear of these
expensive brand names, and do
a little research before you whip
out the dough.

Here are some brand names that
are actually worth it: MAC Makeup,
Mineral Makeup, Clarins, and
Estee Lauder.

Simple Fall Styles

If you've still got those
tights or leggings from
way back, make sure
you that you keep them
around just for a few
more years because as
you all already know,
they're back in style!
Make them useful by
pairing them with
something really simple
like an oversized cozy
knit sweater, or a simple
white blouse.

Basically, the simple
style is back. The pencil
straight fitted 50's
secretary skirt is back
in, as well as the straight
jeans. Out with the flared
bottoms and the cropped
tops, there is nothing sexier
and classier than clean, fresh,
and fitted.A long tunic sweater
or blousy jacket replaces it.
Why? Because the looser top
looks so good with the lean
skinny pants or close-cut jeans.

Soft knits are the new
comfort garments. A long
cardigan can be your jacket
of the season. And the knit
dress will be a winner for
people who just want to slip
something on over tights
and go.

For a more professional look,
pick simple, straight-cut suits.
Suits that are fitted to you and
something in black and grey
looks fabulous on anyone!

Posh and Classy


Everywhere we look, we see all kinds
of crazy new fashion weather it's head
bandanas...super skinny jeans, tights,
super long shirts, or whatever is out there!
These new trends can have a very confusing
effect on us because there are so many
new things that look so out of place
and bizarre that we don't know if these
look are right for us, or...better yet, if we
dare to wear them!

Well fear not, because not everything has
gone out of style. The posh and classy look
is still here and still very fabulous.
When you think of posh and classy you
probably think boring and conservative.
Well it's time to change your mind because
that is certainly not the case here.

Posh and classy are now fun, exciting, and
most of all very o la la sexy! Remarkable black
halter tops with silver lining add elegance
to a pair of high, skinny black pants and a pair
of ankle boots.

Posh and classy also means
very stylish and elegant. By that I mean
very fitted, sexy gowns or dresses. Posh
and classy don't always have to be in dark, dreary
colours. They can also be beige or white like
a nice fitted dress in white can look
very classy indeed.

You can also spice up your classy
clothes such as a pair of black pants
or a black top by adding some
nice accessories like a pearl necklace,
a glittery belt, etc.

You don't have to look far for
fashion...it's right in front of your
eyes! It's basically whatever looks good
on you...is in!

2006 Fall Fashion


As we are entering the
early fall and the leaves
are changing their colours,
so are we. These, ladies,
are fashion's new rules!

First up,we have the 80's
style jacket. Check out the
jackets at H&M. These jackets
are big sleeved with a
curve-hugging torso. Wear it
over super skinny pants and
you're all set to go!

Second item...more 80's styles! Metallics, one
shoulder-shirts striped cowlnecks, and huge bows
are so in right now! Make sure you get
spotted wearing these retro styles!

Third, the layers. Now these are what you
would call "unexpected layers". These layers
are very non-traditional. Slip on a short-sleeved
shirt over a long-sleeved shirt or wear a vest
over a knee-length dress.

Fourth we have the ankle boots. These are
extremely hot right now so wear them with
everything and anything from cropped or long
jeans, skirts, short, or whatever else you can
think of!

Fifth on the docket, we have the cropped jackets.
They may seem a little weird at first, but trust me
they look adorable with everything! Get them in
the square shape for even more style!

Last but not least, mix up that dreadful black
with something else! Sexy grays. That's
right ladies,bring some life to your
black work clothes by mixing it
with metallic grays.

Vixen Makeup


We all know how to put on our
everyday makeup. A little bit of
neutral eyeshadow, some black

eyeliner, mascara and
lipgloss. But once in a while
we all get bored of the same
old look. You know exactly
what I'm talking about!
The same colour eyeshadow...the
same lines for your eyeliner, etc.
It's all the same,and once in a
while we get bored. That's
perfectly normal, but don't
worry I have another quick fix
for you when you get sick and
tired of the
same old look. The vixen makeup...so
easy, yet so incredibly sexy.
There really isn't much to it,
you just need
some good eyeshadows, a
black kohl eyeliner, a dark blue
eyeliner, curling mascara, and a
sheer lipgloss.

So let's start off with the foundation.
Before you put that on, make sure
you put on a good moisturizer so that
the foundation will blend it smoothly.
Apply your foundation evenly onto
your face. Make sure you smooth it out
evenly so that you avoid lines. Get a
good bronzer that matches your skin tone.
With a good, thick brush, swipe some
bronzer onto the apples of your cheeks,
your forehead, and your chin. This will
give a glowing effect to your face.

Take out a black sparkly eyeshadow and
a blue sparkly eyeshadow. With a brush,
apply the black eyeshadow onto both
eyelids right up to the crease. Take another
brush and apply the blue eyeshadow right a
above the black eyeshadow and
up to the brow bone. Start blending the
eyeshadows with your finger. Make sure
that you blend them in well.
Apply the black kohl eyeliner at the top of
your lids, and apply the blue eyeliner at
the bottom.Finish off with two thick
coats of curling mascara. If you want,
you can use an eyelash curler.

Now that you have finished your eyes,
apply a neutral lip liner. This will make your lips appear fuller.
Fill your lips in with a neutral,sheer lip gloss.
Remember: you have heavy eye makeup on, so your lips
must be kept to a minimum with makeup.

Hollywood Styles


I have done my research
this week to find out what
exactly is Hollywood wearing
these days. It seems that
we are jumping from one
fashion trend to another
so quickly, that no one has
any time to really stop and
ask themselves: "is that actually
back in??"

I'm sure you agree with me when
I say that a lot of the fashion come
backs this year are not so hot...
welcomed, but definitely not hot.
So I've decide to see what's new
and hot in Hollywood this week...
just a little glimpse at what the stars
are wearing.

So what exactly is in this fall?
Let's see...short jackets, boots,
and cute little hats. Yup, all the
stars are wearing long shirts and
short jackets on top with a little
hat as an accessory! Also big this fall
will be the white boots which should
be ankle boots or knee-length.
They're very modern and chic right now.

A very hot accessory that stars
are definitely putting up this fall
is the snake jewelry. You know
very well what I'm talking about.
The snake bracelet around the arm!
They're very fun and they supposedly
help ward off evil. Wear as many as
you want because these babies are
totally in right now!

Mini-dresses are also in this fall for
stars. These are basically simple,
short dresses and they are usually
pair up with flats. Sport this look
today but don't forget to accessorize!

Dress up your hair today with a
cool scarf. Yup, everybody's
wearing scarves as headbands
because they not only play up
your do, but also add colour, and
keep the hair our of your face.

Last but not least, the skinny jeans.
As much as most people hate
them...they do make your legs
look longer but just make sure
that if you are short, you don't
skip the high-heels!

Trench Coats


Be the first one this fall
to sport the ultra-chic,
ultra-sexy trench coat.
That's right...all the ladies
in Hollywood are doing it
and you should too! Not
only are trench coats
unbelievably sexy, but
they trim your figure,
elongate your legs, and
keep u nice and warm against
those harsh winds!

So how should you wear
trench coats? Any way you
want, really! First, pick a
colour that suits you or that
you really like. Also, pick
something that will be suitable
for your every day life. Then,
pick a fabric. You can choose
anything from nylon, to cotton,
to silk, the possibilities are endless!

Either way, a trench coat looks
good on anyone and everyone.
They are perfect for every
day around the town. Wear
them over a nice dress or skirt,
as it will give you a more feminine
look and you can also add on the
black nylons. Pair the whole outfit
with a pair of Manolo Blahniks and
you have yourself and unbelievable outfit!

Of course you can wear the
trench coat with a pair of skinny
jeans as well. Add on a pair of
knee-high high-heeled boots
over the jeans. These coats are
also sexy when unbuttoned at
the top for a little peek-a-boo
with a lower v-neck. Make sure
you add a hot bag to your arm
and you'll be styling!

The Beauty of Bronzer


Although fall is here, many of
us still have summer on our
minds...as well as on our faces.
Just because the leaves are
falling, doesn't mean your
makeup has to fall off as well.
Styles change, but your bronzer
can still stick around this fall
and make your fall look ultra-sexy.

This fall, make sure that you
stick to all kind of bronzer
colours from pale pink to
dark brown and mix them
up! One of the bronzers
I actually love is Victoria's
Secret Very Sexy Mosaic
Bronzer which is only $18.
It's got about 8 different
colours, so that you can
blend them together for a
soft gauzy look.

Pair that fresh bronzer up
with a delicate hue of rose
nail polish and to bring on
the bronze subtly, illuminate
your eyes with a thin line of
liquid eyeliner such as Revlon
ColorStay Liquid Liner in Strike
it Gold which is only $7.39!

Now if your skin tone is far
to medium you should stick
to lighter shades of bronzer.
Try a sheer gloss like Cover
Girl Shadow Mousse in Whipped
Gold and blend it with a girlie
pink gloss to make your face glow.

If your skin ton is olive to dark
then you are all set and ready
to handle deeper hues. Try a
rich, rosy bronzer with a dark
and spicy shadow like Estee
Lauder Pure Color in Cinnamon.

Mix these babies up and hit the
road. Don't forget your fashion
tips and I'm sure you're looking
fabulous!

Top Tops


This fall, make a statement by
wearing fun, fearless, bold tops.
These tops attract some attention
to your bust as well as make it
look bigger. So what exactly are
these wonderful tops? Tops with
ruffles. Ruffles at the neckline,
ruffles in the middle, ruffles
everywhere.

These tops are ultra-hot this
fall because they exuberate
elegance, as well as some
really good fashion sense.
You can try different types
of ruffled tops like sleevles
one, quarter-sleeves, or full
sleeves for all occasions.
These tops are perfect for
casual days, office attire, as
well as going out nights.

Pair these adorable ruffled
tops with a pair of dark
skinny jeans and some knee-high
boots. You can also wear a
cute skirt and thigh-high
boots with these tops as it
will look absolutely fabulous!

These tops are also to your
advantage because they are
very feminine and like I said,
they make the girls look even
nicer. So try one on today and
see the difference it'll make!

Leggings


As the year progresses, we see
more and more of the 80's style.
The long shirts with the belts...
the shoes...and most of all, the
skinny jeans and oh yeah, let's
not forget the tights. But there
is one fashion item that I, myself
did not think would ever come
back in style...and that is...the
leggings. That's right ladies, the
leggings are back and this time
they're hotter than ever. I'll let
you in on a little secret...how to
really sport the leggings and make
them look sexy and fashionable.
Let's get started!

First and foremost, you have to
remember to keep the 80's fashion
to a minimum. So if you're going to
wear one 80's item...keep it at one
please. Let's start off with that cute
little dress. A funky, flouncy dress
can be worn with a dark pair of
leggings which will look like you're
actually wearing tights. This look
is totally hot right now, so don't be
scared to try it out!

Want a comfier look? Why not
try a really cute sweater with
your leggings and some knee-high
boots? Not only will this look
complement the season, that is fall,
but it will also make you look fabulous,
guaranteed!

Now I know this is going to sound
crazy...but you can ever wear leggings
on a date. No joke. Pair them up with a
sexy silky cami and a pair of knee-high
high-heel black boots and you're ready
to go. And no, you will not look ridiculous,
trust me.

So you can pretty much pair up the
leggings with anything you want from
pretty dresses, to sexy tops, to sweaters,
button-up shirts, etc. Leggings can be fun
and they are very versatile. So make
sure you run out and grab a pair. If
leggings don't look good on you though,
just skip the whole thing. In the end, it's
all about how the clothes fit you, not if
they're in style or not!
