“Hoop earrings are a classic style that every woman—regardless of age—should have, but the type depends on your face. If you have a thin face, go for larger round or embellished hoops. If you have a round face an elongated hoop or drop style is best.” —Elena Kiam, Creative Director, Lia Sophia

Patch work

Patchwork is a form of needlework that involves sewing together small pieces of fabric t into a larger design. The larger design is usually based on repeating patterns built up with different fabric shapes (which can be different colors). These shapes are carefully measured and cut, making them easy to piece together.

Patchwork is often used to make quilts , but bags, wall-hangings, warmjackets, cushion covers,skirts, waistcoats and other items of clothing .

Patchwork and quilting are often mentioned in the same breath, as they are often combined in the same project, but they are two very different techniques.
Patchwork is the art of sewing together pieces of fabric to form a pattern or block. When enough blocks have been made, they can be sewn together to form a quilt top.
Quilting is the sewing together of the three layers that make up a quilt - the top, the central wadding, and the backing.

The beauty of patchwork is that you can use up odds and ends of fabric, recycle your old clothes and create something beautiful and unique in the process.

Are you a Fashion model?
Do you have what it takes?

A model is a person who poses either to promote , display or advertise commercial products (notably fashion clothing in fashion shows), or to serve as a visual aid for people who are creating works of art or to pose for photography.

Types of modelling include: fashion, glamour, fitness, bikini, fine art, body-part, promotional, and commercial print models. Models are featured in a variety of media formats including: books, magazines, films, newspapers, internet and television.

Modeling may seem easy and glamorous, but that is by no means the reality. It will take a lot of commitment on your part to make it as a successful fashion model. Are you prepared to maintain a diet, fitness, and beauty regimen, even when you are not having any booking? Are you prepared to do a 12-hr photo shoot in freezing and windy conditions, wearing clothing that offers no warmth, while still getting the shot without complaining? Have you accepted that it may take years once signed to a modeling agency to be successful? Are you willing to travel internationally on long trips, and be away from your family, friends, and the comforts of home for an extended period of time?
Hope these is not getting you scared. The idea is to help you see some possibilities. The career is exciting and rewarding. Which aspect of modeling are you interested in? Find out what it takes.

If you are sure you can do all that it takes then have fun and enjoy your career.

The first and probably the most important step to getting started with your modeling career is to have a well-rounded modeling portfolio that showcases your strong points through high-quality, stunning images. This is the first thing that agencies and clients will look at, and its critical to make a great first impression. It helps to have both an online version as well as a printed version that you can show when you meet someone face to face..

Every fashion model needs a modeling agency. So get one for yourself. When you book a job, you are representing both yourself and your agency. Be as professional as possible.

Today's new word is

Vent
A vent is a vertical slit or opening in the back seam of a jacket or a skirt , generally for flexibility, to give a little bit of extra mobility, the ability to move freely.

Today there are three styles of vent: the single-vented style (with one vent, either directly at the center or roughly 3 cm to the right); the ventless style; and the double-vented style (one vent on each side). Vents are convenient, particularly when using a pocket or sitting down, to improve the hang of the jacket.

Ventless jackets are associated with Italian tailoring, while the double-vented style is typically British. For instance, dinner jackets traditionally take no vents.)
On skirts, vents are particularly associated with
pencil skirts where they may be necessary for free movement, but they may also be added for reasons of style, as they have the effect of exposing more of the legs. The most common style is a single vent of a suitable length at the back of the skirt, but they may be located anywhere.

When you’re shopping for a jacket, coat, or blazer, pay attention to the fit around the shoulders. While a tailor can tweak pretty much everything about the fit of a jacket—from tapering the waist to shortening it—they can’t change the shoulders. Make sure the seams sit perfectly at the bony tops of your shoulders.

Bustier

A bustier is a piece of clothing for women that fits close to the top part of the body and does not cover the shoulders or arms. It is similar to a corset that is, like a combination of waist cinch and brassiere. It ends at the waist or extends to the hips.

It can be worn under a see-through top to push up the bust and shape the waist.

Corsets and bustiers are often confused. What’s different between the two? In simplest terms, a corset "cinches" your waist, while a bustier "boosts" your breasts.

Bustiers can look very hot with high waisted pants or jeans.

Have you tried wearing the same colour from up to your toe. It May sound boring but it is not. The idea is to make the eyes go from up to down instead of sideways. Makes you appear taller and slimmer.
For instance you can try wearing white or black suit in this order.
V-necks makes a full figure body look thinner and longer. If you have a full bust, you can look for v-necks that stops right above your cleavage.

Finish off your outfit great look with a bright color accessory. It adds interest to your outfit and will highlight the area it's placed on and can also add width to areas that lack curves.

Always remember that fitness is your watchword. Never be tempted to hide your figure in an oversized dress or one that is too tight for you.

Tips on caring for your wigs

#Synthetic Wig washing guide.
If you wear your wig everyday, then wash after 3 weeks of use.
Before you wash your wig disentangle the hair by using a wide tooth comb.
Fill a bowl with COLD water (note please: do not use hot water to wash your wig as this may
damage).
Add a dash of shampoo into the cold water(a capful of shampoo).
Immerse your wig in the cold water and gently wash.(just swish from side to side).
Do NOT squeeze or wring your wig.
Apply conditioner directly to your wig, stroking downwards from roots to ends.
Leave in 4–5 minutes.
Rinse by immersing wig once more in fresh cold water.
Towel dry. Place the wig between a folded towel and pat dry
(Do not wring while wet, allow it to drip dry instead).
Gently shake the wig to regain its style. Alternatively, lightly style it with your fingers.
Hang your wig over the mouth of a large jar or vase to dry naturally. Never use a hair dryer, as
heat damages synthetic fibres. Do not allow your wig to dry in direct sunlight. If you wash your wig in the early evening, it should be dry by morning.
Never use a brush or a comb on a highly tangled wig. Remember: brushes are for removing
loose hair, and combs are for removing tangles.
When dried place the wig on a wig hanger to help maintain the style and shape of your wig.
With daily use and care synthetic wig can last between 4-6 months. When it is used occasionally synthetic hair wigs can last over 1 year if you take good care of it.100% human hair wigs can
last Up to 3 years. The more attention you pay, the longer time the wig lasts.
Wigs and hair extensions, which are constructed of synthetic hair, are more affordable than
similar items made from human hair.
