Volumizing Pieces


As you may, or may not
have noticed, big, volumous
pieces are making a big
splash this fall. Bubble
hemmed skirts and dresses,
big, puffy skirts, and let's
not forget the oversized
tops.

You have to be very careful
as to how you put these volumizing
pieces together because if worn
incorrectly, you just may end
up looking like a clown!

First and foremost, baggy pieces
aren't for everyone. You either
like them or you don't: or you
they just don't look right on you.

For everyone that is interested in
volumizing pices, here's some sound
advice! If you're going to wear some
volume on the bottom, like a bell-shaped
skirt, make sure you pair it with a skin-
baring top. To make your figure stand out
a little, pair the ensemble with a high-waist
thick belt.

For some volume on the top, pair
it with superskinny jeans or pants.
Make your legs appear extra long and
slim by slipping on a pair of sexy pointed
heels.

For ultra volume that hits right at the hip
like a big volumizing skirt, add a cute
sweater that hits at your waist. This will
show off your figure as well as slim
your hips.

Take a look at these fabulous ensembles
and get inspired with these volumizing
pieces.

Big, Bright, Beautiful Eyes

The first thing most people
notice are your eyes...well
one of the first things at least.
Take these tips with you
to help you get dull, tired
eyes into big, bright, and beautiful
eyes.

Start off with a regimen.
Use a good undereye cream or
gel to minimize your bags.
The skin right under your
eyes is very sensitive, therefore
very easy for it to sag and discolour
easily.

One of the main reasons this happens
is lack of sleep and fluids. Make sure
you get at least 8 hours of sleep each
and every night, and that you hydrate your
skin by drinking lots of water.

Every night before going to bed,
apply the cream or gel under your
eyes. You only have to dot a little bit, and
it'll do wonders for you. I suggest you got
with any of Dior's products or Clinique.

When sleeping, try to wear en eye
mask. It'll reduce your wrinkles, and
get your eyes to feel more rested and revived
in the morning.

When you wake up, moisturize your
skin and pay special attention to
your eyelashes. Use an eyelash curler
and apply two coats of mascara. Your
eyes will look big, bright, and beautiful!

Create Sexy Spirals


Super straight hair is
slowly going out of style,
and all kinds of curls are
coming back in. One kind
that you never thought
would be in? Spirals.
That's right, sexy S shaped
spirals are on the scene and
they look super sleek and
sexy. Follow these tips on how
to creat your sexy spirals.

Start off with a curling iron.
Grab a 1 to 2 inch section of hair
and place the curling iron upright a
few inches down from your roots.
Make sure that you don't go all
the way up to your roots. Try
to keep it to the middle of your hair.

Open the clamp of the curling iron
and gently use your fingers to wrap
your hair around the length of the barrel.
By doing it this way, you get the most precise
curl formation.

Close the clamp and hold it for 5-10
seconds. Release the clamp
and slide it slowly all the way down.
Finish off by tousling your hair
with your fingers and add a little
hairspray to keep your mane put.

And voila, you have yourself
a full head of sexy spirals!

Sexy Makeup


Make a sexy entrance this
holiday by playing up your
eyes, your lips and your
cheekbones with these
perfect sexy makeup tips.

Start off with your peepers.
The colour that works best
for all eye colours in lavender.
Lavender plays up your eyes by
bringing out the shiny flecks in your
eyes. You can use this colour alone,
or with a little bit of shimmer on
the brow bones for an even sexier look.

When choosing a blush,
choose one with multiple colours. The
colours blend better with one another,
creating a very natural, yet sexy look.
It will accentuate the cheekbones as well
as the apples of your cheeks. Blend the brush
into the blush, smile big, and apply upwards
onto the highest points of the cheeks.

When it comes to lip hues, there is
nothing sexier than a natural, just kissed
look. This is why you should make sure
that you have a multiple colour lip
palette. These glosses are fun to mix, and
give your lips a very glossy, yet natural effect.

Thigh-High Boots


Get your legs in their
sexiest shape ever this
fall! When steping out
the door, make sure to
pull on a pair of hot
thigh-high boots.

Thigh-high boots are
all the rage this fall on the
runways of Paris and Milan, so
go get yourself a pair.

Not only do these boots
go great with miniskirts,
but they go well with almost
anything! Pair them up over a pair
of tights, skinny jeans, a sweater
dress, or pretty much anything
you can think of!

Just make sure to wear
these babies at appropriate
times. I'm pretty sure work does
not qualify as appropriate, so
stick to wearing tigh-high boots
when going out!
