Cheap ones usually come with metal plates and the surface will eventually damage your hair if used more or less regularly.

High-end products like my favourite ghd hair straighteners have ceramic heating elements. They straighten the hair more easily and can cause much less damage. Compared to metal ones they also spread heat more evenly. Ceramic plates also heat up and cool down quickly which means that the temperature can be controlled which sometimes is critical. Also cheap product may not reach the sufficient temperature to actually straighten your hair well enough especially if you got thick hair or want the effect last all day long.

If you intend to use your straightener on a regular basis then you need to think about protecting your hair that is why ghd is offering to check whether online store where you are willing to buy your streightnenerrs actually sells originals – http://website-checker.ghdhair.com

Coco Chanel introduced the little black dress in 1926 and it has become the symbol of timeless fashion. A fashion must for every women and very woman needs at least one little black dress!

Before Coco Chanel made it a fashion color, black was associated with mourning. Today everyone wears black at cocktail parties as it is a common understanding that black is an evening color.  And remember – dark colors make you look thinner. Of ourse threre are multiple color combinations and colors apart from black which look stunning for evening wear, but still black is what makes you star of the evening.

Choose a well-constructed dress that is comfortable and fits well instead of following trends blindly. It is suggested to buy a dress with a lining as the lining has the advantage of smoothing your figure to give the impression of a perfect fit. If not, use Spanx as an option. Your little black dress should allow you to move or dance comfortably without thinking of your body imperfections all night long. Spanx underwear is revolutionary shapewear that gives you a fabulous silhouette to make you look and feel great in whatever you are wearing. Every one of us has a little problem area that we worry about, for some it’s the butt, for others the belly, whatever bit you might be worried about, Spanx has a great range of shapewear underwear to smooth out and shape every figure. There are butt lifting panties and stomach flattening briefs and even full body suits which means you can wear your cocktail dress with confidence. With the party season fast approaching, Spanx would be a great investment as every outfit will look better on you if you are wearing Spanx.

Cocktail dresses are meant to be knee length. Sleevless sheath is a safe style to buy that always looks elegant. The great thing about the little black dress is that it doesn’t draw attention to itself. Accessorize your little black dress to really set off your look. A standout necklace, lovely earrings, bracelet or all of them if they are matching.

Clutches

Clutches have been popular for decades, generally as a party or nighttime purse. They are always with us and this is quite explainable as we just cannot do without them when we go to a party or a special event. Bring sparkling color to every outfit with multicolored glitter clutch..

Shoes

 Carry it to embellish a simple cocktail dress – just add sky-high heels for perfect party style. Designers this year continue their bold experiments with the new shapes and constructions for stylish and fashionable shoes.

However colors will be more strict and more traditional. In the forthcoming season designers suggest colors that look gloomy enough: black, dark blue, dark green, dark-violet and red will prevail.

Jewels

The jewellery  this season is not to shabby either. Bold and extravagant are the keywords. Focus on simple designs, but still choose flashy and loud pieces. Use your creativity to combine metals with natural materials, antique, vintage styles with integrated chic items.

Sticking to the classic jewellery rules for the party season is always the best idea. So, if you are going to a cocktail party for example, enjoy wearing a cocktail ring. This type of jewellery is traditionally worn on the index finger. One large ring should be worn and nothing else. If you are married or engaged, wear the cocktail ring on the other hand so that nothing else distracts from it. Go for something round or square and a bold colour that either compliments your dress or matches your other accessories. For a more formal function classic pearls are always a great look. Simple pearl earrings and a pearl necklace give a chic and elegant embellishment to any outfit. If you are going out with the girls you can really wear whatever jewellery you like. Go for something fun and glitzy!

Everything about the drink, including its exterior design and packaging, reflects a luxury and sophistication. New unique and stylish combination of best wine and spicy herbs comes to the shelves in a golden bottle and packed in a black case with metal plaque designed by the famous duo. Atually the cooperation began already more than ten years ago when openin the Martini bars in Milan and Shanghai, situated inside the Dolce&Gabbana boutiques.

And …Monica Bellucci. Not only Gold, not only Dolce&Gabbana, a new very unique drink needs a very special introduction. The new commercial for Martini Gold is produced by Jonas Okerlund starring the the gorgeous Italian actress. It is filmed in Rome and is based on the famous ‘’American Girl in Italy’’ motives. Beauty is fleeting, what can I say – isn’t it a very good present when thinking of gift ideas?

And then I did it regularly. I was dancing alone and had a good time It was my own little party. And then I realized that my mum had been standing and watching me for a while. She smiled and told me that I look like a princess. From that day on time to time we use to dress up on weekends together. What a fun!!!

Like mother, like daughter…. So, what’s that all about?!

First of all I think it’s just celebrating that special mother and daughter bond.

Second, I think mothers should set a good example in all areas, fashion being no exception. Most girls from early age want to look grown up. And this is a good point where to start building a good taste – to show how to dress and look grown up but not too over the top and ridiculous.

How many of you mums have dressed yourself and your daughter in matching outfits? I think all mums have to do it once! Get her matching outfit, hair and charm jewellery and maybe even makeup. My mother gave me the gorgeous present of a charm bracelet when I was young, and then every Christmas she would give me a new charm to add to it. Charm jewellery is such a special and unique gift to receive, especially from someone so close to you. Whenever we went to a special place or shared a moment together she would remember to by a little charm that represented that place or that moment. It is so nice to now have a gorgeous piece of charm jewellery where every single charm makes me smile when it reminds me of something special I shared with my mother.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and your child will love to see mum dressed up just like her.

Jeggings are latest in the jeans fashion. Born in last spring the clothing piece comes from merging jeans and leggings and are combined with  tanks and sweater dresses thins fall as well. Extremely tight jeans never go out of fashion so I think pair of very good jeggings is a good investment in your wardrobe.

High waisted jeans are one of the most popular styles around this season. High waist isn’t a novelty on a fashion scene, it is a comeback of high waisted jeans as they are featured in all the fashion shows for fall and winter 2010. Style of them is simple and high waist gives a slim look to a silhouette.

Patched denim is brought to runways by Chanel, Chloe and Lagerfeld for the Spring 2010 and now is widely sold in retail stores. There are plenty ideas to create own stylish outlook combining different colors and fabrics which gives a funky look.

Gray and cream are number ones this year. So the other pastel colors and also black.

All the pieces are stylish and functional in all variety knitewear has to offer – sweater dresses, cardigans, scarves, ponchos, tank tops, tshirts and sweaters. Especially scarves and wraps are so rich in texture, long, oversized and heavily ruffled to add dramatic look to the outfit.

The theme for this Fall is blended yarns of more than one fiber in fascinating executions – wool, silk, cashmere, bison. It is a full range of textures and weights in knits to have all possible patterns – chunky, hairlike or deconstructed.  Everything is comfy and warm looking.

The show this year  was moved back to New York City and started with Black Eyed Peas song  Boom Boom Pow. 

The honour to present $3 million worth diamond bra was given to Marisa Miller, but my personal admiration goes to Heid Klum who went down the runway just five weeks after she gave birth to her fourth child.

They are not surprising and continuing rebirth of 80’s style in spring/summer padded shoulders trend remains also in fall and winter. Also army theme stays, however disco style found its place also in military look making shoulders bolder and more exaggerated.

Classic stays – You can’t go wrong with black, white and gray. Classic trench coats with belts as accent.

However using so classic black and white, designers go mad about silhouettes – huge coats, capes and gowns, countless ruffles. Regular forms are outspoken with oversize sleeves and impressive cuffs and collars.

Knitwear is celebrating its victory. Knitted and bold details are not only warm, but also trendy this year.

Season’s feature is fur and leather – simple cuts and also daring. Fur is widely used for detailing (cuffs, collars and fur caps).
