• Consider op shops and second hand clothing outlets. Often you can pick up clothes that have never been worn, or only been worn once. Formal and party wear is often found at bargain basement prices. These clothes are usually distinctive and people do not like to wear them more than once in front of their friends. Some people buy bargains and never get around to wearing them.
• When buying clothing, do not go fashion crazy. Very fashionable clothing becomes dated quickly and no one wants to be seen in last season’s outfits. Go for the classic styles in the basic colours. If you start with a classic like the little black dress, you can accessorise for different looks. One classic skirt can often be accessorised for most occasions.
• When you have good quality, classic basic clothes you need to care for them. Make sure zippers are replaced and hems resewn.

Face Shape

Anyone versed in hair styles is sure to know the four different face shapes: Oval, Square, Round and Triangle. Necklines play a big factor with face shapes and the idea behind it is to create a sense of balance. Oval shapes can wear pretty much any neckline successfully. For the triangle shape, or those with a long and narrow face shape will want to use wider necklines; especially necklines which are shallow such as the Sabrina or portrait necklines. The horizontal line gives the illusion that your face is wider, helping to achieve balance. For square and round shapes, or those with a wide and round shaped face, you’ll want to do the opposite. A neckline that features a vertical form, such as halter styles, will be to your benefit.

Body Type

The second consideration is made from the body type you possess, ranging from small to large … Read the rest

• Buy only from a trusted diamond retailer. Never buy any jewerly or precious stones from a company or someone you don’t fully trust. If you’ve never heard of them, then it might be safer to steer away from them. This brings us to number two;
• Use your gut instinct. This may sound simple enough, but this is probably one of the most important things to remember when buying a diamond.

Branded Attire Fit Better

One cannot deny the fact that branded clothes look and fit better. In fact, many people buy clothes from a particular brand all the time simply because they are more comfortable with the fit that the clothes provide them.  Also, you will find that branded clothes have more fits available. For example, a branded clothes manufacturer may have the same design available in more sizes than all the unbranded clothes put together.

Branded Attire is Safer to Wear

Clothes are made of various materials and resources. If you wear unbranded clothes, you may end up getting hurt by the accessories that are used in making them, for example a malfunctioning button or a bad zipper.  Therefore, just by paying a little more, you can be sure that you get the best quality, look and feel, form fitting and safe and hygienic attire.

When clothes are worn correctly, flattering our body type, we look more refined, elegant and respectable. Wealthier individuals have the ability to buy clothes custom tailored for their bodies creating a flawless look, while others will buy clothes based upon how comfortable they are to wear, or because they like the color or fabric, or someone they know has something similar and they liked it on them. Clothes should be bought for their fit, not because something is comfortable, or someone else looked good in the item. The color or fabric of clothing shouldn’t be the ultimate determining factor for a purchase either since fabrics can often be dyed.

Everyone has a body type, and it is how clothes fit your body type that should determine what you purchase. Clothes should fit your body, accentuate the best aspects of your figure, and minimize the less flattering aspects of your figure. … Read the rest

• Grocery tote. Plastic is wasteful and doesn’t biodegrade. Bringing your own canvas bag to the store when you do your grocery shopping is one way to cut down on the amount of waste dumped into landfills each year. Many grocery stores even give you a discount for bringing your own bags in. Grocery totes make an excellent gift. They come in different sizes with different designs on them. If you want to make a more personalized gift, get a plain tote and decorate it yourself. Use fabric from old clothes and sew designs onto the tote. Permanent, felt-tipped markers can be used to draw designs and patters. Adding your own touches will give the gift more meaning to the recipient.
• Recycled journals. These work best if you make them yourself. Unless you have access to a lot of scrap paper, it might take a while to gather the materials for
