How to Care for Your Denim

When you find that perfect pair of jeans that look great on you, you want to take care of them so they last a long time. however not just jeans, you want to take care of all your denim items. To help keep your denim feeling fresh and new, try these tricks to care for them properly.

Instructions

1. Wash in cold water - To help preserve the shape and the color of your denim, you should turn them inside out and wash them in cold water in your washing machine. If your denim has embellishments on them you should put them inside out and place them in a mesh laundry bag before placing them in the washer. This will help protect them even better.
2. Soap - You should choose to use liquid detergent rather then powder detergent. Liquid is less abrasive then the powder which also tends to clump up and leave marks on your denim clothing.
3. Skip the dryer - Instead of drying your denim in the dryer, try laying them flat on a flat rack. Especially if your denim has embellishments on it, you do not want to put them in the dryer. This will also help avoid shrinkage. However if you will be ironing them each time then that can also damage the denim. So choose to either iron or place them in the dryer but don't do both.
4. Try not to wash them every time you wear them if possible. If you want them to fit better, instead of ashing them place them in the dryer with a damp towel for a few minutes. Then they will be nice and snug again.

How to Prevent Wrinkles in Clothes

It’s a terrible feeling to wake up in the morning to find that you have to pull out the iron before you can leave for work. Why can’t our clothes just magically remain wrinkle free? Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help eliminate wrinkles or prevent wrinkles in clothes from forming.

Things You Can Do To Prevent Wrinkles in Clothes

1. Never leave your clothes in the dryer. Pull them out and put them away as soon as the dryer is finished. The cold air will allow wrinkles in clothes to set, so properly hanging or folding your laundry while it is warm will keep those wrinkles at bay.
2. Properly hang your clothes to prevent wrinkles. This means putting them on hangers in your closet instead of draping them over the side of the ironing board or on the back of the couch. Forget clothes hooks or the side of your dining room table–hangers only!
3. Hang everything! Most of us think we should fold our t-shirts and hang our sweaters. The best scenario would be to hang everything, but if that’s not possible try to hang your lighter weight clothing items instead of your heavy sweaters. Lighter cloths wrinkle easily while those heavy sweaters will fare just fine in the dresser drawer.
4. Buy clothing that is made out of wrinkle-free fabric. It really does exist and is the perfect solution for anyone who hates ironing, or for the busy traveler who just doesn’t have time. Look for clothing made of licra, microfiber of poly or vicose.
5. Frequent travelers should roll their clothing instead of folding it for the suitcase to prevent wrinkles. You may end up with a few, but not nearly as many as you would have had you folded instead.
6. Be careful while ironing. Ironing can’t be avoided in some cases, but if you do iron make sure you push the part of the clothing you’ve just ironed away from your body so that it hangs over the far side of the ironing table. This way you won’t lean on it and cause new wrinkles on the freshly ironed (and still warm) fabric.
7. Invest in a good wrinkle spray. There are a few products on the market that you can use to prevent wrinkles. Simply spray them on your clothes and smooth the surface with your hands. Any existing wrinkles will be eliminated and when you return the garment to its proper place in the closet it won’t get any new ones.

How to Dress to Look Taller

Almost everyone wishes they were a few inches taller. Even people of average or above average height are often heard to remark on the subject. Unfortunately, once you stop growing, you are done. You However, there are ways to "cheat the system." You can dress in ways that add the appearance of several inches without making major changes to your style or your wardrobe--and without putting lifts in your shoes.

Things You'll Need:

• Pin striped pants
• Full length mirror
• Tailor

Wear vertically oriented patterns. Pinstripes, herringbone patterns and chalk stripes all elongate the body. Select pants and jackets with these types of patterns to create the impression of height. Do not mix them, however, or you will just look short and very distracting.

Get a short haircut. Close-cropped locks make you look taller because they create a distinction between the head, neck and shoulders. Work with your hairstylist to select a style that is flattering for you.

Wear a shirt and pants of the same color. This will prevent you from breaking up your frame and causing people to focus on your body in pieces. Monochrome dressing is a sleek way to elongate your shape.

 

 

Avoid plaids and checks. These patterns are too busy to wear all over and emphasize your upper body, which can make your legs seem shorter.

 

Choose light or medium weight fabrics. Heavy fabrics can make you look bulky and stocky, characteristics which inherently make anyone look shorter than they are. Lighter fabrics flow with your body and create an elongated appearance.

 

Make sure your clothes fit. Many short men have considerable difficulty finding clothes that are the proper size and length. Come as close as you can, then have a tailor adjust your clothes so that they fit perfectly. Ill-fitting clothing draws attention to the fact that you may be smaller than you wish to appear.

 

 

Tips & Warnings

• Check out all of your looks in a full-length mirror before your go out. If you only see yourself from the knees, waist or shoulders up, then you will have no idea about the overall effect of an outfit. You need to see yourself from top to bottom to avoid serious fashion mistakes.

Street Style !

Street style blogs are two a penny on the web and that's because 'real' people's style can be just as fascinating as a high-fashion editorial.
Click on to check out ten inspirational looks from the street.
Mis-matched colours and a flash of arctic leopard print shouldn't work, but it does here. The quilted Lariat bag by Balenciaga is a classic and gives this cosy look a chic edge.



These high-waist tapered trousers, with their slouchy deep pockets, are under-cover comfortable but look slick and stylish to the rest of the world. Always pair with heels to avoid a Genie of the Lamp situation.

Don't take the easy route, opt for bright, cheerful stripes instead of over-done Breton ones and wear them on your bottom half for extra impact. A khaki blouse is seemingly the new black (see more from the green army in the previous slide).

This girl looks like she stepped straight off a Marni catwalk, with her long socks and colourful clutch. Give a simple dress some character with unique details and you'll be on to a winning look.

Fall Winter 2010-2011: Five Must Have Clothing Pieces

]Chinese New Year is just around the corner.. Everyone starts to shopping for your new clothes? I went to quite a number of places to get some nice clothes and I bought 2 pants , 3 dresses and 2 tops.. Anyway, this season wasnt really nice but luckily i manage to get a few items..

So what is trendy now in the Fashion Line?

1. Overalls for fall

For fall, it is advisable to give up on the fluid, light, and thin materials in favor of those that can heat you up on a cool autumn day. So you can wear a cotton or denim overalls. Whether with long pants or with shorts (worn with thick black tights underneath), the overalls can escape you from the deadlock when you don’t know what to wear. In addition, it is easy to match. You can choose to wear a loose shirt underneath or an elegant blouse, with a jacket or trench coat with many buttons, with tennis shoes or platform sneakers.

 2. Something red

The color red was named the color for the autumn winter season 2010-2011. So whatever you choose, it is important to have in your wardrobe an article in shades of red: wide or thin belts to emphasize the waist, dresses, shirts, blouses, sweaters, boleros, blazers, trench coats or even shoes.
Do not forget that the classic scarf can transform an ordinary outfit into one full of charm and elegance.

**Matches the coming CNY

3. Bold necklaces

Bold necklaces were a must have this summer and continue to be a trend for autumn winter 2010 – 2011. Choose to wear extra long necklaces, which can go around the neck several times.

Regarding the materials from which jewelry is collected, the metallic necklaces predominate, with many details: big rock, stacked up fins, beads or feathers.

4. Shoulder bag

Classic shoulder bag. So, whether simple and made of leather, or whether with sequins or other prints, shoulder bags will become a trend for the cold season. For the days, choose a regular bag, not too big, but large enough to fit your minimum necessary. For evenings, you need a stylish bag to make you stand out: with sequins and stones, with the chain from a metallic material or from strong colors (unless you have a simple outfit).

5. Shoes with laces

After many years they sat in the shade, the shoes with laces are back in the spotlight. This type of shoes can be worn with skinny jeans, with fall shorts (if it is cold, the shorts may be worn with black tights), but also with elegant skirts.

I love Bold necklace so much... I saw quite a number of nice bold necklace at BONITA 1utama but it doesnt worth the price so I didnt get one for myself..

Hope the information about can give you some inspiration on what to get on this coming chinese new year and grab yourself some cool stuff as soon as possible.. last 2 weeks of shopping left !!!!
