Fashion is revolving and evolving. What was then is back now but with a little improvement. As they say people learn from their mistake. So the fashion of yesteryears is brought back to the present with a little twist of the new era.
Many of the fashion glam nowadays are just carryover of the past. If you have noticed the fashion statement of today’s generation, most of them are recycled but is now given some twist – an item of the past’s fashion world with a twist of today’s style. The aviator shades of 1930s got back and oh so great paired with today’s glam. The harem pants of course from the 1920s are such a hit today together with the flannelette shirts of 1970s. And to complete the total get up the cat eye makeup of 1950s.

What is a good outfit if you don’t have the right make up on? It would be disaster! It is not easy to pull up wearing makeup though. It’s either you need tons of money for a great parlor or you have to do it yourself. And for sure the latter would be a perfect choice. So now let’s discuss about makeup, let us discuss a fab that was brought back from the past – the cat eye makeup.
The secret of the cat eye makeup is the eyeliner and its application. The eye liner gives the eyes that cat like feature and a beautiful vampy look. You have to know how to apply it carefully and effectively to give your eye the perfect look.  One has to learn the art of eyeliner application and to make it perfect that is knowledge.

There are several styles of cat eye makeup and the two most famous it the traditional eye makeup and he smoky eye makeup. There are several ways of achieving both styles and it all comes on the right eyeliner to use. There are several eyeliners that can be used. One is the pencil eyeliner; you can use liquid eyeliner as well. There is gel eyeliner and you can accent the eye with the use of eye shadow.

Fashion is not just about the right clothes or the right shoes. Fashion is not just about being in with the flow. Fashion is about individuality and about how you carry yourself. Fashion is how you express your being you and feeling good about yourself.

Some kids have it made. Let’s look at the fabulous lives of celebrities and their kids. Celebrities are notorious for dropping large amounts of money on themselves, but they also spend lots and lots of money on their children. Celebrity kids have wardrobes packed with designer labels and funky, fun mini-fashions. Some of the outfits that these kids wear may cost more than your monthly car payment, but not all of these famous kids’ fashions are over-the-top expensive.

Do you have any vintage clothing? Are you a vintage clothing enthusiast? The term ‘Vintage clothing’ is used when referring to new or second hand garments from styles many years before. The phrase can also be with regard to a retail outlet such as a ‘vintage clothing store.’ It can also be used as an adjective: ‘This dress is vintage.’ Using the term ‘vintage’ can make it seem more special and prized than using a term like ‘old’ or ‘used’.

There are clothes that go back to before the 1920′s and they are often referred to as ‘antique’ clothing. But this term is not often used as it makes one think of automobiles. The term ‘Retro’ is also used at times to denote clothing that imitates the style of a previous era. More recently produced clothing is usually called ‘modern’ or ‘contemporary’.

Items from an old warehouse can be quite expensive, especially if they have their original tags. These are highly prized by fashionistas. And, although there has always been some demand for vintage clothing, the awareness, demand and acceptance of this has increased dramatically since the early 1990s. As usual, it is believed that this trend has been revived through the influence of movie stars and icons such as Julia Roberts, Chloe Sevigny, Kate Moss, and Dita von Teese.

When vintage styles of clothing get particularly popular, people will choose to buy new and revised versions of them. This happened a few years back with slip dresses. You can also find these items for a good price and the materials chosen that may work more with current styles. No longer used as under-garments, modifications are made to accommodate today’s styles and requirements. Almost any older and vintage style of clothing can be modified in this way. If the look strays too far from the original, it can  no longer be called ‘vintage’ as such. It then becomes only ‘vintage inspired’.

If you want to get real vintage clothing, some of the best places are second hand clothing shops. Originals that were never worn, are getting harder to find – especially with the fashion craze leaning that way. The Salvation Army thrift shops are very good resources and if you make friends with the people in charge, they may even let you know when something comes in and put it aside for you. In this situation, it is always good to make friends that run these shops. They will learn what you like and let you know when it becomes available. Other charity-run second hand clothing shops, garage sales, flea markets, antique markets, estate sales, auctions and collectables fairs are also great places to shop.

Another place to find collectible or rare vintage clothing items is the internet. Auction sites like eBay have done a swift trade in special items and vintage clothing is no exception. Not only does it make things easier to find, but it also helps people to make items available that otherwise may not be. If you know those items sitting in the attic may be worth something, you are more likely to bring them out and sell them instead of throwing them away or letting them rot.

An important contributing factor in considering the value of an item of vintage clothing can also be its history. Vintage clothing collectors, like other collectors of history, value and record the background of an item: who wore it and to what occasion.

In addition to this, garments from before the 1950s in good condition are becoming more difficult to find. As such a popular era, these items have become more expensive to procure. There are also factors such as: sizing, condition, cleaning requirements, stains and correct storage. If you are in the market, or selling as well, consider these things. Vintage is back!

The LG Prada II may be one of the biggest fashion statements you can make. At about $500, it beats its predecessor (the first LG Prada Phone) with better features. Wifi, 3G, a nice camera and lots of other cool stuff. No GPS, so don’t get lost with it. Get lost IN it. It is beautiful and capable.

It has a piano-black case with a chrome finish creating a simple elegant look. One new cool thing the last Prada phone didn’t have is the QWERTY keyboard that slides out. You can’t write a book on it – I wouldn’t try – but it is handy when you need to type more than ‘c u soon’.

If you know the iPhone, this one also has ‘pinch’ to zoom – which is convenient. But this capability is limited to the browser, the image gallery, and the document viewer.

All kinds of widgets are available such as: an analog clock, a calendar, an FM radio, a music player, a world clock, Notes, and Image Slideshow.

Now, this fashion phone is a lot more than just a pretty face. It has functionality beyond what most people would want. And it looks good. So when you get that call that you just can’t take in a fancy restaurant, others will see how stylish and polite you are.

Songkran is a Thai traditional New Year which starts on April 13 every year and lasts for 3 days. Songkran festival on April 13 is Maha Songkran Day or the day to mark the end of the old year, April 14 is Wan Nao which is the day after and April 15 is Wan Thaloeng Sok which the New Year begins. At this time, people from the rural areas who are working in the city usually return home to celebrate the festival. Thus, when the time come, Bangkok temporarily turns into a deserted city

Songkran is a Thai word which means “move” or “change place” as it is the day when the sun changes its position in the zodiac. It is also known as the “Water Festival” as people believe that water will wash away bad luck.

The Songkran tradition is recognized as a valuable custom for the Thai community, society and religions. The value for family is to provide the opportunity for family members to gather in order to express their respects to the elders by pouring scented water onto the hands of their parents and grandparents and to present them gifts including making merits to dedicate the result to their ancestors. The elders in return wish the youngsters good luck and prosperity.

The value for community is to provide the opportunity to create unity in the community such as to jointly acquire merits, to meet each other and to enjoy the entertaining events. And for the society value is to create concern upon environment with cooperation such as to clean houses, temples, public places and official buildings. Thais value the religion bye means of merits acquisition, offerings alms to monks, Dhamma Practice, listening to sermon and monks-bathing.

In the afternoon, after performing a bathing rite for Buddha images and the monks, the celebrants both young and old, joyfully splash water on each other. The most-talked about celebration takes place in the northern province of Chiang Mai where Songkran is celebrated from April 13 to 15. During this period, people from all parts of the country flock there to enjoy the water festival, to watch the Miss Songkran Contest and the beautiful parades.
In Bangkok, the Buddha image “Buddhasihing” is brought out from the National Museum for people to sprinkle lustral water at Sanam Luang, opposite the Grand Palace.

Makeup Tip 1) Sweep a little loose powder under your eyes when applying dark shades of eye shadow to catch any falling specks and prevent them from staining your skin.

Makeup Tip 2) Make your lips look larger by wearing a bright, light lipstick. Or make the appear small by wearing dark and more muted colours.

Makeup Tip 3) If you do not have a specialized contouring product for cheeks, simply use an ordinary face powder a couple of shades darker than your usual one to slim down the cheeks.

Makeup Tip 20) For long lasting blush on sunny days or hot nights, apply both cream and powder blusher. Apply the cream formulation first, set with translucent powder then dust with a little powder blush.

How Do You Know You Are Suffering From Depression Or Not?

Sometimes you are unable to climb out from the pits for a long time; sometimes you climb a little only to slip further back and sometimes you find yourself more in than out. When and how will you know whether you are suffering from depression or not? There are some simple self depression tests that will tell you clearly whether what you are suffering from is depression or just plain blues. This is what you have to look for:

1. Are you feeling totally withdrawn from the regular pleasures of life? This is a very accurate self depression test – try out something that you know is supposed to give extremely pleasure (such as your favorite hobby, your favorite movie, shopping, etc) and if you find that it leaves you unmoved, then this is a sign that this is depression.

2. Are you forgetting an awful lot of things with no recollection at all even afterwards? Depression causes hiccups in your memory and you will find that certain things are totally wiped out from your memory, leaving you totally baffled. This is another point from the self depression test which gives a very accurate indication.

3. Do you find that you cannot sleep at all or very little during the night? Check out carefully about why you are not able to sleep at night. Is it because you are drinking coffee or some similar stimulants or do you not really have any logical reasons for it? In case you do not have an answer for it, then the self depression test will give you another clue about your state.

4. Do you find that you have lost your appetite? Sometimes, not wanting to eat or not feeling like eating is normal. However, if you turn nauseous even when you are served with your favorite dish, then the self depression test is confirming depression.

If you have one or more of these questions answered with ‘yes’ then you are suffering from depression. Get hold of yourself and get professional help!

Let’s face it. No matter how much progress we make, we’re still going to have “bad days.”

You know the ones. When the old critical voices are milling about drinking martinis and eating crab puffs in your head. You try to send them all away with your favorite powerful affirmation, but only a few of them even look up – and one of them turns away and lights a cigarette.

What do you do when no matter what you do, you just feel awful?

Very few success-gurus talk about the bad day, or even the process of following your dreams and the persistence it takes to shift old patterns.

Truth is, sometimes it helps to hear someone be honest about this stuff. Not so that you can indulge in self-pity about how hard you have it. But so that when the bad day strikes, you have some leverage.

So, how do you survive a bad day?

Here’s a few things that might help…

WHAT TO REMEMBER:

1 – The voices do not tell the truth.

They’re just your old voices coming up to feed. Do not feed them. This is what makes them stay. Even if you’re already hooked in, the best way to begin the unhooking is to rest, or to be very kind to you.

2 – This is not who you are.

The voices like to tell you that this depressed person is who you really are and that the rest of the world doesn’t have these same flaws. Not true. This is just a temporary set back. That’s all.

3 – Mochaccinos don’t take the voices away. It just makes them go faster.

Bad Days are not a call to rush out to Starbucks, hoping that if you move faster, it will all go away. If there’s any action that needs to be taken now, it’s probably a nap.

4 – You don’t have to be productive today.

It’s okay to put down your goals and to-dos for one day. You can return to them tomorrow. Today, make it your goal to just get through the day being kind to yourself. Think of it as a sick day. Maybe there’s no PROOF – like a fever. But your insides are sick. Let them heal.

5 – Everything seems worse when you’re tired or hungry.

Eat something yummy. Take a nap. Or go somewhere and sit quietly.

WHAT TO DO:

1 – Stop feeling bad about feeling bad.

If it helps, make today a container. Know that you’re allowed to have this stuff and that nothing horrid is going to happen with this one day of getting thrown off.

2 – Make no decisions.

The late Richard Carlson, author and psychologist, gave this great advice: “Never make decisions when you’re in a low mood.” His belief was that low moods are a natural occurrence and that any low-mood decisions are typically not healthy. Put off all decisions when you’re having a bad day.

3 – Don’t read fashion magazines. Or the news.

4 – Take a 20 minute walk.

Bring a gentle affirmation along with you. On days like this you don’t want to say, “I am master of the universe!!!” On days like this you want to say, “I am loved. I am safe.”

5 – Don’t try to fix yourself today.

No need to rush to the Self-Help section at Borders. Maybe steps you can take toward being healthier in the big picture, but not today. Today, let yourself stop.

6 – Lower your standards.

If you get out of bed, or eat a good healthy meal, be proud. Tomorrow you can have your old high standards back and be productive and evolved and all that. Not today.

7 – Say NO to anything if it’s motivated by the word “should.”

This is a good rule to follow on good days too!

8 – Ask yourself what you feel like doing.

Sometimes the answer to this can be surprising. Maybe you’ll want to begin a fiction audiobook and clean your closet! Maybe you’ll just want a nap.

9 – Don’t do anything destructive.

Don’t overdose on sugar or indulge in alcohol. Don’t call anyone who drains you. It will not make this better.

WHAT TO BE:

Be very, very kind to yourself.

Be the way you would be with someone who is sad or hurting or scared. Because today, you are.

WHAT TO KNOW:

That the victory is not about not having bad days anymore. The victory is that you can get back up after having one.

Bow Headbands

Bow headbands are one of the most adventurous headbands because bows hold a feminine charm that’s both sassy and childish. Bows are cute but at the same time alluring, as it connotes something that needs to be unwrapped and unraveled. Bows on dresses are pretty enough, so how about bows on your head?

During ordinary days, bow headbands are cute and may be wearable everyday as long as they’re of negligible size. Bow headbands for school was even made famous by a modern fashion icon, Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf. They’re best for girls who want to exude the preppy charm.

For additional oomph, you can add crystals on your bow headbands or get them in regal textures like satin or silk. They look best with sexy footwear.

Feather Headbands

For girls who are ready to become instant head turners, feather headbands on their halo territory is one great fashion stunt. Feathers headbands instantly expand the area that your head covers so if you look good, then you will really be difficult to ignore…let alone forget.

Feather headbands are advised for girls who want to simply accentuate a rather bland outfit. If your dress is heavily detailed, we do not advise that you wear feather headbands. But if your dress is just simple and with minimal detail and it needs something loud for it to stand out, feather headbands in complimentary colors will surely do your look justice. Pair with an equally pretty hand bag.

Other Tips for Wearing Exotic Headbands

For bow headbands, bold eye make up is okay, or lip make up. Do not do both, and keep your cheeks neutral or with a little hint of blush only. Since your “head dress” is already loud, don’t tip the balance over and make do with a less fierce face. For feather headbands, you can compliment them with a little daring make up, like stick-on crystals by the eyelids or sparkling mascara. But just keep the blush quiet and the lips just enough to look healthy.

Hair-up is great for those who wear feather headbands because the feathers have the same texture of the hair. Besides, if you let down your hair, your head will just look “bulky”. You get the point. Hair-down, on the other hand, looks great with bow headbands, and here’s the kicker: it doesn’t matter if your hair is wavy, curly or straight. Bow headbands look just like the ones that you use to keep something off (like a bow tie in general) while feather headbands are more “in your face” that’s why hair-up is preferred for the latter.

Since both head bands (bow headbands and feather headbands) are quite daring and risky to pull off, do not wear loud pieces when you’re not sure of it. If you can, ask the opinion of your trusted friends or someone who has a good taste in fashion. If you’re in doubt, don’t do it. Instead, make do with classics that always work—thin headbands with crystals, headbands in layers or headbands which have similar material as jewelry (gold or silver). This also goes for the other accessories that you wear with it. Remember that you will wear it on your head. That’s a place where people will surely see. If you already make a bad impression there, you’ll have a hard time coping for that when the evidence is as glaring as a bright headpiece.

By now, you must already be itching to try on a chic exotic headpiece such as feather headbands that advertise a royal mardi gras or bow headbands which will look charming on your equally angelic face. Just remember to not overdo the fashion statement and that you must be comfortable wearing it. No matter how pretty it looks, if it’s too expensive, too tight, not right for your skin or hair color or the material itches, just ditch the idea. You don’t need to suffer to be beautiful.
