The clothes just speak to us.They say "buy me,wear me,love me,i`m gorgeous"!

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.-

“A fashionable woman is always in love - with herself”

“ ‘Style’ is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”

Fashion has no time to even ask such a question, because it is constantly concerned with finding out: What will come next?

Say bye bye to “Polo”

Ralph Lauren officially changed its name to Ralph Lauren Corp.—dropping the “Polo” prefix that had been part of the company’s brand identity since it launched, truly an end of an era.

Kanye West Women’s Clothing Line Confirmed

NY Mag says that he’s set to launch a new women’s clothing line. Professor Louis Wilson of British fashion school Central St. Martins provides details of the collection.

“I think we can expect a well-considered collection, you wouldn’t expect less from a pair of professionals and I warn against dismissing it in haste. There are those who might assume Louise will be doing all the work and Kanye is just the face, I don’t believe this will be the case—he researches thoroughly and is hands on and committed to his work.”

MUST READ THIS!

I KNOW IT ISN;T ABOUT FASHION BUT YOU MUST READ THIS!

i am speachless at the moment.

Hi, Mommy. I’m your baby. You don’t know me yet, I’m only a few

weeks old. You’re going to find out about me soon, though, I promise.

Let me tell you some things about me. My name is John, and I’ve got

beautiful brown eyes and black hair. Well, I don’t have it yet, but I

will when I’m born. I’m going to be your only child, and you’ll call me

your one and only. I’m going to grow up without a daddy mostly, but we

have each other. We’ll help each other, and love each other. I want to

be a doctor when I grow up.

You found out about me today, Mommy! You were so excited, you couldn’t

wait to tell everyone. All you could do all day was smile, and life was

perfect. You have a beautiful smile, Mommy. It will be the first face I

will see in my life, and it will be the best thing I see in my life. I

know it already.

Today was the day you told Daddy. You were so excited to tell him about

me! …He wasn’t happy, Mommy. He kind of got angry. I don’t think that

you noticed, but he did. He started to talk about something called

wedlock, and money, and bills, and stuff I don’t think I understand

yet. You were still happy, though, so it was okay. Then he did

something scary, Mommy. He hit you. I could feel you fall backward, and

your hands flying up to protect me. I was okay… but I was very sad

for you. You were crying then, Mommy. That’s a sound I don’t like. It

doesn’t make me feel good. It made me cry, too. He said sorry after,

and he hugged you again. You forgave him, Mommy, but I’m not sure if I

do. It wasn’t right. You say he loves you… why would he hurt you? I

don’t like it, Mommy.

Finally, you can see me! Your stomach is a little bit bigger, and

you’re so proud of me! You went out with your mommy to buy new clothes,

and you were so so so happy. You sing to me, too. You have the most

beautiful voice in the whole wide world. When you sing is when I’m

happiest. And you talk to me, and I feel safe. So safe. You just wait

and see, Mommy. When I am born I will be perfect just for you. I will

make you proud, and I will love you with all of my heart.

I can move my hands and feet now, Mommy. I do it because you put your

hands on your belly to feel me, and I giggle. You giggle, too. I love

you, Mommy.

Daddy came to see you today, Mommy. I got really scared. He was acting

funny and he wasn’t talking right. He said he didn’t want you. I don’t

know why, but that’s what he said. And he hit you again. I got angry,

Mommy. When I grow up I promise I won’t let you get hurt! I promise to

protect you. Daddy is bad. I don’t care if you think that he is a good

person, I think he’s bad. But he hit you, and he said he didn’t want

us. He doesn’t like me. Why doesn’t he like me, Mommy?

You didn’t talk to me tonight, Mommy. Is everything okay?

It’s been three days since you saw Daddy. You haven’t talked to me or

touched me or anything since that. Don’t you still love me, Mommy? I

still love you. I think you feel sad. The only time I feel you is when

you sleep. You sleep funny, kind of curled up on your side. And you hug

me with your arms, and I feel safe and warm again. Why don’t you do

that when you’re awake, any more?

I’m 21 weeks old today, Mommy. Aren’t you proud of me? We’re going

somewhere today, and it’s somewhere new. I’m excited. It looks like a

hospital, too. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, Mommy. Did I tell

you that? I hope you’re as excited as I am. I can’t wait.

…Mommy, I’m getting scared. Your heart is still beating, but I don’t

know what you are thinking. The doctor is talking to you. I think

something’s going to happen soon. I’m really, really, really scared,

Mommy. Please tell me you love me. Then I will feel safe again. I love

you!

Mommy, what are they doing to me!? It hurts! Please make them stop! It

feels bad! Please, Mommy, please please help me! Make them stop!

Don’t worry Mommy, I’m safe. I’m in heaven with the angels now. They

told me what you did, and they said it’s called an abortion.

Why, Mommy? Why did you do it? Don’t you love me any more? Why did you

get rid of me? I’m really, really, really sorry if I did something

wrong, Mommy. I love you, Mommy! I love you with all of my heart. Why

don’t you love me? What did I do to deserve what they did to me? I want

to live, Mommy! Please! It really, really hurts to see you not care

about me, and not talk to me. Didn’t I love you enough? Please say

you’ll keep me, Mommy! I want to live smile and watch the clouds and

see your face and grow up and be a doctor. I don’t want to be here, I

want you to love me again! I’m really really really sorry if I did

something wrong. I love you!

I love you, Mommy.

Every abortion is just…

One more heart that was stopped.

Two more eyes that will never see.

Two more hands that will never touch.

Two more legs that will never run.

One more mouth that will never speak.

speechless.

Ladies and Gentlemens..

Shoes Say Volumes About Your Personality

People say clothes count for first impressions. They really do, because each person has his own style which reflects his or herpersonality. But can shoes say volumes about their owner? According to psychologists they can. Shoes show your fashion sense, status, neatness, attention you pay to details, etc.

Stilettos as weapon

If you love stilettos you are most likely a vivid and extraordinary person who longs for attention. You can be capricious and a bit spoilt but you always get what you want. You are confident about your powers and sex appeal. However, some people take you as a silly and shallow girl.

Flats for comfort

Flats-lover is usually sweet, friendly and a little boring. Deep in your soul you are still a child. You try to look open and prepossessing but strangers can hardly get too close to you. Women who like flats are usually great fashionistas who are fond of wearing new clothes. You are kind and considerate. And men see you as a very fragile person who they want to care for.

Biker-style queen

You are reserved and a bit egocentric. You don’t trust people and prefer doing everything yourself. But at the same time you are smart and sensitive and often worry about your relations with other people. You get sincerely surprised with rudeness and inadequate behavior.

Dandy-girl

If you like loafers and oxford shoes you belong to a group of women who are undemonstrative and prefer hiding their feelings even if their souls are in flames. You know what you want and achieve your goals no matter what happens and people around you think. You can be too punctilious which bothers you to make friends easily.

Tomboy

Girl who has a weak point about sporty footwear is normally creative and sociable. They love traveling and feel extremely bored when routine makes them stay at the same place for long. You need to always be among people who love and respect you.

Comfortable sexiness

Women who wear wedge shoes are usually straightforward, confident and love power. However, when it comes to decision making they tend to hesitate. In relationships they seek for reliability and trust.

And while we generally prefer the same style of footwear to wear on the daily basis we still love experiments and this explains how in one wardrobe one can keep all existing shoe styles. Don’t take this article very seriously but isn’t it generally true about you?

Despre parul intins

Femeile sunt nemultumite din principiu. Daca au parul ondulat, il vor drept, daca e drept il viseaza cret, iar daca e cret si nu sunt dezamagite, sigur au ceva cu culoarea naturala. Parul intins este aproape o obsesie si, de cand s-a inventat placa de par, femeile sunt mai aproape de ce-si doresc. Al doilea pas este o solutie radicala: indreptarea permanenta. Aflati care sunt avantajele si dezavantajele acestui procedeu de la Teddy Codreanu, hairstylistul nostru preferat.

1. PT: In ce situatii recomanzi unei cliente indreptarea parului?

Teddy Codreanu: Recomand indreptarea permanenta a parului in momentul in care o persoana are parul foarte cret/frizzy, si/sau greu de disciplinat, pentru a-i fi mai usor sa se coafeze (ea, desigur, preferand parul drept).

2. PT: Care sunt etapele indreptarii permanente a parului?

TC: In principiu, etapele sunt similare pentru toate brandurile. Parul trebuie spalat in prealabil cu un sampon special, dupa care se aplica solutia de indreptat, se lasa sa actioneze, apoi se spala din nou, se aplica solutia de fixare dupa care se spala pentru ultima oara.

3. PT: Cat rezista?

TC: De regula, intre 3 si 6 luni. Depinde insa si cat de cret a fost parul inainte de indreptare sau cat de gros/subtire e firul de par. Inconvenientul principal este ca pe masura ce parul creste, la radacina, el tot va trebui indreptat mereu.

4. PT: Este la fel de eficient procedeul pe orice tip de par?

TC: Rezultatul final poate diferi in functie de textura parului persoanei in cauza. De asemenea, va diferi si timpul de actionare. Ca si la permanentul ondulat, pe un fir subtire se va lasa sa actioneze mai putin, iar pe un par mai gros, natural, poate si grizonat, se va lasa mai mult. Cu cat parul natural e mai ondulat, cu atat indreptarea permanenta va rezista mai putin.

5. PT: Cum afecteaza indreptarea permanenta firul de par?

TC: Ca orice proces chimic, si indreptarea permanenta isi va lasa amprenta asupra parului. Riscurile ca parul sa se deterioreze grav sunt mai mici daca indreptarea este facuta de un expert, care cunoaste indeaproape toate etapele ce trebuie parcurse. Teoretic, parul risca sa devina putin mai uscat odata ce a fost indreptat, insa aceasta problema poate fi remediata cu ajutorul produselor de ingrijire capilara.

6. PT: In ce cazuri nu este recomandata indreptarea permanenta a parului?

TC: Nu as recomanda indreptarea permanenta pe un par decolorat, proaspat vopsit si/sau cu suvite. Pentru un diagnostic personalizat, care sa aiba in vedere si tipul de par (textura, grosime, etc), vorbiti cu stilistul dumneavoastra.

7. PT: Ce produse de ingrijire sunt recomandate dupa ce apelam la acest serviciu?

TC: In general, se folosesc produse hidratante (balsamuri, masti, uleiuri) si/sau termoprotectoare (creme, spray-uri, uleiuri). Unele branduri au produse special destinate permanentului, atat celui drept cat si celui ondulat. Daca parul d-voastra nu-si va schimba caracteristicile in urma permanentului (daca nu se va usca), atunci folositi produsele pe care le utilizati in mod normal.

un articol EXTREM de interesant :*!!

love your body campaign

Ne confruntam cu o multime de nemultumiri: avem sanii prea mici sau prea mari, coapsele prea groase sau gambele prea subtiri, talia prea lata sau abdomenul proeminent, suntem prea scunde sau prea inalte. Ne asiguram in sinea noastra ca toate acestea sunt argumente hotaratoare pentru a fi placute, acceptate sau iubite.

Invidiem conturul perfect al femeilor celebre, ne zgaim necajite la formele androgine ale modelelor din reviste si suspinam la vederea unui trup mai suplu, mai tonifiat, mai bun, mai altfel decat al nostru. Credem ca barbatii ne vor placea doar daca avem bustul Sophiei Loren, picioarele lui Heidi Klum sau posteriorul lui Naomi Campbell si depunem eforturi inzecite la sala pentru a avansa in cursa pentru un fizic perfect.

Nu luam in calcul faptul ca greutatea, inaltimea si structura noastra osoasa nu ne pot permite, intotdeauna, sa atingem un standard mediatic care se schimba de la un an la altul, ca trendurile, si incercam din rasputeri sa sfidam genetica, infometandu-ne, indopandu-ne cu pastile de slabit sau tinand diete nesanatoase.

Nu avem in vedere nici faptul ca partenerul ne va placea si cu acele 10 kilograme in plus, pentru ca greutatea unei relatii nu tine (sau nu ar trebui sa tina) de greutatea noastra, si nici ca el nu va vedea acele 3 riduri sau nu ne masoara elasticitatea pielii, mai ales cand suntem in dormitor.

Competitia este, in realitate, cu noi insene. Vrem sa fim mai frumoase, mai atragatoare, mai tonifiate, mai inalte, mai slabe, mai potrivite unor tipare care nu ne sunt proprii si catre care tindem, mai mult sau mai putin constient, pentru ca asa ni se pare "ca trebuie". NU.

Aveti idee cat de multi barbati prefera femeile cu sani mici? Probabil ca nu. Foarte multi! Si tot de la ei vine si explicatia - sanii mari sunt atragatori la o varsta, dupa care se lasa sau isi pierd din feminitate.

Dar cati prefera o femeie cu ceva mai multa carne pe ea decat oase? Majoritatea nu-si doresc sa iasa cu un model, ci cu o femeie "in carne si oase", ne-retusata in Photoshop si neinfometata. Majoritatea isi doresc o femeie increzatoare in puterea ei de seductie, dar, in acelasi timp, naturala si constienta de atuurile ei. Fiti sincere, pe voi nu v-ar scoate din minti daca partenerii vostri v-ar intreba, sistematic "Draga mea, sunt gras?" sau "Pantalonii astia imi umfla posteriorul?" sau "Crezi ca ar trebui sa slabesc?..."?

Fascinatia vinde, este o lege hiper accentuata a societatii in care traim, insa asa a fost dintotdeauna. Iar daca puteti alege sa fiti fascinate de unicitatea voastra si sa o pretuiti, ii veti fascina si pe altii! Fara retusuri, diete diabolice, operatii si alte remedii artificiale pentru complexe.Iubiti-va corpul!

Love,Ioana

4 lucruri fascinante despre sarut pe care nu le stiai

Automat, pleoapele ti se inchid, corpul ti se relaxeaza, iar buzele tale le cauta pe ale lui intr-un gest senzual si extrem de excitant. Ecuatia atractiei sexuale este in totalitate bazata pe alchimia sarutului.

Dar, in afara de gestul automat pe care il facem fara sa ne mai dam seama de mecanismul sau, sarutul in sine este un proces chimic fascinant. Ca ne intereseaza mai putin chimia si mai mult efectul sau, asta e partea cea mai frumoasa a lucrurilor.

iata insa cateva fenomene care au loc in timp ce ne sarutam:

1. Pupilele noastre se dilata in timpul unui sarut pasional, de aceea multe dintre noi inchid ochii atunci cand se saruta. Sistemul nostru nervos autonom raspunde starii de excitare, nervozitate sau noutate prin pupile marite, ceea ce inseamna ca mai multa lumina ajunge la irisii nostri obositi - ochii devin mai sensibli, tendinta fizica normala de a-i proteja fiind de a-i inchide.

2. In timpul unui sarut erotic, un barbat paseaza testosteron unei femei prin saliva sa. Dupa saptamani si luni intregi, schimbul repetat de fluide poate duce la un libido crescut al femeii. De ce? Pentru ca testosteronul are ca rezultat stimularea clitorisului, e atat de simplu.

3. Dovezi stiintifice sugereaza ca un sarut, in mod subconstient, dezvaluie informatii despre genele persoanei sarutate, ghidandu-ne instinctiv inspre a decide daca putem sau nu forma o pereche compatibila pe termen lung.

Cand sarutam o alta persoana, toate simturile noastre lucreaza pentru a evalua compatibilitatea - chiar si simtul nostru olfactiv. Ati sarutat vreodata pe cineva numai ca sa constatati apoi ca sentimentele romantice au disparut? Este o reactie comuna. 59% dintre barbati si 66% dintre femei pot sfarsi o relatie deoarece simt ca nu se potrivesc atunci cand se saruta. Si se pare ca simtul olfactiv are o mare importanta - felul in care cel de langa noi miroase ne da indicii asupra ADN-ului, capacitatii sale de reproducere, etc. Inconstient, ne alegem partenerii cei mai potriviti pentru nevoile noastre inclusiv pe baza acestui criteriu. Stiu ca nu sta nimeni sa se gandeasca "da, tu esti acela care o sa-mi dea copii frumosi" atunci cand se saruta, dar poate ar trebui sa fim mai atente/i la semnalele transmise de corp.

4. Respiratia unei femei poate oferi unui barbat indicii despre capacitatea sa de reproducere - chiar daca sa faci copii nu mai este un scop in sine si societatea nu favorizeaza o relatia stabila si definitiva, la origine suntem tot animale care isi cauta un partener ce ii poate oferi urmasi sanatosi. Teoria zice ca la menstruatie o femeie elimina bacteriile in exces prin saliva, iar barbatul poate simti daca este fertila sau nu.

Cu siguranta, cele de mai sus nu sunt lucruri la care ai chef sa te gandesti in timp ce te saruti. De altfel, sarutul perfect presupune un moment de abandon, de relaxare completa si de apropiere prin simturi care sfideaza orice logica. Dar macar acum ne-am lamurit de ce inchidem ochii atunci cand urmeaza sa fim sarutate:)

Ce spun blugii tai despre tine?

Michael Holdaway, producator TV si stilist de profesie are o explicatie simpla pentru fascinatia si dependenta femeilor fata de blugi: cautarea perechii perfecte de blugi este similara cu cea dupa barbatul ideal. Diferenta este ca, macar in cazul blugilor, dezamagirea nu este asa de tragica.

Mai interesanta mi s-a parut aplicarea teoriei sale in realitatea concreta de pe strada. Ma refer la felul in care femeile poarta blugii si reusesc sa transmita un mesaj uneori controversat al optiunilor lor. Iata mai jos cateva explicatii pentru alegerile noastre si ce incercam sa transmitem - inconstient poate - atunci cand ne imbracam cu perechea noastra preferata de blugi:

- blugii prespalati: o femeie care prefera acest tip de blugi iti transmite faptul ca are o latura salbatica, care de regula poate trece neobservata, dar poate fi declansata de un gest simplu ca o gluma buna. Dar blugii prespalati nu sunt o optiune pentru fiecare zi. Nu miza pe ei la o ocazie speciala. Poarta-i in schimb accesorizati cu un top sexy si stilletos pentru un look de zi.

- boyfriend's jeans: la mare cautare acest sezon, este un trend care nu va disparea asa usor. Sunt comozi, sexy si imprevizibili. Femeia care ii prefera adora sa fie trendy, relaxata si sa se simta bine in hainele ei. Ca sa le mai indulcesti taietura masculina, poarta in partea de sus un top cu volane cat mai feminin si romantic. Suceste putin blugii si accesorizeaza-i cu balerini intr-o culoare tare.

- skinny jeans: trebuie sa lucrezi din greu la sala pentru a-i putea purta. Sa te inghesui intr-o pereche de skinnys inseamna un singur lucru: iti place sa arati ce ai si sa atragi atentia masculilor din jur. Skinnys sunt facuti pentru acele siluete imposibil de zvelte, asa ca daca esti norocoasa, go for it. Alege un top lung si larg si wedges.

- boot cut: CLASIC! Un pas inainte dupa mom's jeans. Creeaza un look flatant, dar nu reprezinta neaparat un trend. Ca sa compensezi acest lucru, parta pantofi iesiti din comun si accesorii in culori vibrante pentru a-i inveseli.

- jeggins: adica leggins din denim; de regula reprezinta o manifestare a unei personalitati de fashionista, o persoana cu simtul modei si care simte nevoia sa exprime acest lucru. Dar tine minte ca acest tip de pantaloni e purtat doar de fete foarte slabe si nu in orice context, cu siguranta nu la birou. Sunt foarte utili deoarece au un efect de colanti si arata bine intr-un outfit cu multe layere. Ii poti purta foarte bine cu cizme peste genunchi pentru un look casual sau cu o pereche de tocuri inalte si geaca de piele pentru o noapte in club.

- blugii albi: impun reguli noi; femeile care reusesc sa compuna un loook cu jeansi albi sunt adevarate fashionable rule breakers.Trebuie insa sa stii cum sa faci acest lucru pentru a nu parea aterizata direct din anii 80: nu te imbraca din cap pana in picioare in alb, sparge mootonia cu accesorii colorate si nu alege blugi foarte mulati pe corp.

- denim vopsit: de ce sa existe doar albastru? Un blug colorat sugereaza o personalitate vesela, temperamentala si careia nu-i este frica sa experimenteze. Poarta blugi colorati cu conversi si topuri neutre, in linii simple.

- baggy jeans: stii pereche aia de blugi ponositi, largi si universali valabili cand duci gunoiul? Arata ca nu-ti pasa cum te simti in ziua respectiva si vrei doar sa te simti confortabil; problema este ca, desi tu vrei sa arati relaxata, rezultatul general poate fi unul negativ, aratand de fapt neingrijita. Ca sa echilibrezi aceasta impresie si sa iesi linistita pe strada, alege topuri flatante si stramte sau cu decolteu in v.
