			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-460" title="hippie-tunic" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/hippie-tunic.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" />Ever seen photos women in the 60’s? Long hair, longer and flowing clothes with beautiful fabrics. But why should this stay in the 60’s? It definitely does not need to, in fact it is making a comeback in the form of sites such as Joe Browns. This site has clothes that are made from fabrics that are earthy and beautiful.</p>
<p>In particular they have a wide selection of Tunics. Tunics are so versatile in this modern society. They can be worn as a dress, perhaps with boots or a pair of heels. They can also be worn over skinny jeans creating a hip yet floaty look. Lastly they can be worn over the top of a full length skirt, giving you that ultimate Hippie Clothes look.</p>
<p>Joe Browns has <a target="_blank" href="http://www.joebrowns.co.uk/pp+Womens-Dresses-Tunics+DR-L" target="_blank">tunics</a> to die for. It is called the Vibrant Crinkle Tunic. It is brightly coloured and is cut in your traditional tunic cut. It would look brilliant with a simple pair of black leggings and would work both in the summer and winter. It would brighten a cold dark winter’s day, and would amplify the colours of the summer when worn in the warmer months.</p>
<p>Hippie clothes are for me, and obviously were for my Mum. Embrace it, join it, and explore it. You may surprise yourself and you could find who you are on the way.</p>
<p>Search the web and you will find what you are looking for but Joe Browns is an excellent place to start.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-446" title="Sunglasses" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/sunglasses-accessory-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ask any woman and she’ll tell you  that summer is the time to go mad on the accessories front, no matter  how big or bold the accessory, it will work because its summer and everything  is bigger and brighter than before. One of the bigg<a name="0.1__GoBack"></a>est  summer accessories is of course a pair of sunglasses; this is one of  the most versatile accessories out there. They can be added to any outfit  to give it that stylish celebrity look.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">With so many out there it can be difficult  to pick the right sunglasses as your must have accessories. The </span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.very.co.uk/women/e/b/1589.end" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">latest fashion trends</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> in the world sunglasses is the bigger is better,  yes that’s right the aviator look is back on this season’s top accessories.  But as with every accessory sunglasses can be difficult to pick, especially  as these accessories can have an impact upon your health. These accessories  can damage your health, they after all protect your eyes from the sun.<span id="more-442"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">With these accessories you not only  need to pick out a pair that suit your face but also that block out  at least 99% of UVB rays and 95%of UVA rays. Basically if they don’t  provide any information on this, or are labelled as cosmetic don’t  go near them, they offer no protection. Not what you need from your  top accessories this season.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">While many may see the colour of this  accessories’ lens as a fashion statement it can affect how well  you are able to detect contrasts and differentiate between colours.  This can also cause problems with such activities as driving, another  good reason why you should research these accessories and buy the best  you can.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/toniblay/49791042"><img src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/jeans-300x199.jpg" alt="jeans" title="jeans" width="300" height="199" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-338" /></a>No-one is the same shape in this world, so we should not all be expected to fit in the same styles and sizes of jeans. This is why there are so many options available to us on the market. For example the Miss sixty range on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.very.co.uk/ ">www.very.co.uk</a>.</p>
<p>Before you can decide on what style of jeans suits you best, you have to decide what shape you are. For women we tend to fit into five different categories. These are Apple, Pear, Rectangle, Hourglass, and Circle/Round.</p>
<p>Apple shaped women should try to avoid skinny-legged jeans. Go for hip hugging jeans that then have a slight flare at the bottom. This will balance out your body and emphasize your wonderful slender hips. The flare then weighs out your bust making you look less top heavy.</p>
<p>Pear shaped women should avoid high wasted jeans and try and steer clear off skinny jeans also. In fact try and avoid shapeless jeans as far as possible. Go for jeans that are high rise i.e. hang on your body just below your natural waistline. Then opt for a pair that has large pockets on the back. This will make your behind look less large and balance out your top and bottom halves.</p>
<p>Rectangle women can pull off skinny jeans. But you want to try and create curve, so perhaps look for a fabric that is slightly faded on the thighs and knees or pockets that are embellished or have flaps. These added extras will create some curvature to your figure. Try and avoid cuffing (turning up) your jeans as this can make your legs look stumpy.</p>
<p>Hourglass figures are ones to die for, but you still have to find the right jeans. Baggy jeans are a definite ‘no go’ as you suddenly lose all your curves and look boyish. With an hourglass figure try to go for jeans with a good waistline, this will accentuate your tiny waste and emphasize your curves.</p>
<p>Finally the Round body shape should look for flared, boot cut or straight-legged jeans. Have a mid-rise waist as you want the waist band to come above the tummy to avoid any discomfort. Avoid tapered jeans as they will make you look fuller than you are.<br />
Visit <a target="_blank" href="http://www.very.co.uk/women/miss-sixty/e/b/1589,5691.end">Very</a> today to view the full range of miss sixty products, for example, jeans, shoes, dresses and much more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-329" title="golden ring in box" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/cleaning-jewelry1-300x223.jpg" alt="golden ring in box" width="300" height="223" />Although your jewelry looks shiny and beautiful regardless if it is made of gold or silver, there are some handcrafted ones that due to the elaborate design might need cleaned up to be able to show its whole artistic style comprised in the crafting of the jewel. But in this respect you see yourself in the position of finding the right way to clean the specific jewel, knowing that not all the cleaners work in the same way on the types of precious metal included in the design of the jewel.</p>
<p>In this matter, you are more than definite that you will find these cleaners in one of the local jewelry stores or you can simply have your jewelry cleaned by one of the jewelers assistants that work in the field. It is almost impossible not to find in your area of residence at least a jewelry store not able to perform the required cleaning; it is in fact part of their job, too.</p>
<p>Bit if you have decided to use on your own the cleaner, then you have to check for various aspects displayed by such a product: one thing is the consistency of the cleaner. Although the consistency is not relevant enough for a good cleaning of the jewel, the thick one however has proven to work more efficiently when it comes to cleaning. Once you reach the specific store that sells this product ask the shop assistant to show you a couple of types of such cleaners.</p>
<p>In case you still have doubts on a cleaning on your own, then you&#8217;d better take the jewels with you and ask the assistant for the specific store to have it cleaned for ou with the cleaner that he/she indicates as being the best.If you do not feel like leaving the jewelry inside the store, then the best thing for you to do is to ask the assistant of the name of the product they use for cleaning and the supplier to deliver it.</p>
<p>There are also costume jewelry that need to be properly cleaned and as careful as jewelry cleaners might be, there is still the risk of having the costume jewelry damaged, especially weaken the glue that sticks the precious stones to the entire costume. In this situation, you can perform the cleaning all by yourself with a gentle brushing on the areas using water and a soft toothbrush.</p>
<p>It is a good thing to take care of your jewelry and performing a periodic cleaning it will make your pieces of jewelry go back to their original glow and shine being able to display the majesty of a precious stone that can be seen its entire splendor without having the dirt as a factor to cover the beauty and uniqueness of jewelers&#8217; works of art.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-295" title="mens-gift-ideas" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/mens-gift-ideas-214x300.jpg" alt="mens-gift-ideas" width="214" height="300" />While Christmas may seem like a long way off, for some it&#8217;s about that time of year to start thinking about gift ideas for the men in your life. Finding new <a target="_blank" href="http://menswear.mainlinemenswear.co.uk/search?w=accessories" target="_blank">gift ideas for men</a> year after year can sometimes be a challenge. Especially for that man in your life who just seems to have everything!</p>
<p>A good place to start is thinking about the usual after work type of things he likes to do. What kinds of hobbies is he interested in? Does he have a favorite restaurant or store? Gift cards may seem like the easy and maybe not-so-personal type of gift card. But if you just can&#8217;t decide on a gift , that&#8217;s a good choice. But clothing is almost always something a man needs.</p>
<p>When buying clothing for men, you may want to avoid the typical cheesy tie! If your guy is a clotheshound, sneak a peek in his closet or find out the kinds of brands he usually buys or wears. Or, if your man just isn&#8217;t fashion savvy, a casual yet dressy type of shirt is a safe bet. Finding <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mainlinemenswear.co.uk/" target="_blank">mainline menswear</a> is as simple as doing a search online or going to his favorite store.</p>
<p>If it is clothing you go for, make sure you know his shirt/neck or pant size. Again, a peek in the closet is a sure way to find out. Most online stores provide a size chart or let you <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mainlinemenswear.co.uk/page.php?xPage=searchbysize.html" target="_blank">shop by size</a>. If you just aren&#8217;t sure on the size, ask his mom! I bet she&#8217;ll know for sure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_287" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31418704@N02/3657046186/sizes/o/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-287" title="womens-shoes" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/womens-shoes-300x200.jpg" alt="Image courtesy Flickr" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image courtesy Flickr</p></div>
<p>No outfit is complete without the right pair of shoes. With summer round the corner, open toes and sandals are hitting the fashion scene more than ever and the warm weather gives daring <a target="_blank" href="http://www.very.co.uk/women/shoes-boots/e/b/1665.end" target="_blank">women’s shoes</a> the chance to come out of the closet and accentuate the perfect summer outfit. With all the cheeky fashion trends in clothing at the moment like heavy prints and bright, bold colours, this summer’s shoe fashions are artfully a little more subtle, in neutral tones like champagne, caramel and taupe.</p>
<p>Legs are going to be out a lot this summer with trends like hot pants and play suits causing women to be bare from the thigh down. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.very.co.uk/" target="_blank">Shoes</a> therefore need to help shape the legs, so a slight heel is complementary, but they should also be practical and walkable. Wedges are the perfect combination of fashion and function, as they add height but also give good support and you can walk comfortably, and even run, when wearing them. For a feminine touch if you feel wedges are a little too clunky try a pair with toe peep holes.</p>
<p>However, women aren’t just going to be walking around this summer. With warm weather on the way, women want to get out and about playing sports and staying active, and it’s important to choose the right pair of womens trainers to keep you supported but still looking fashionable. Cushioned trainers are very popular at the moment as they offer excellent comfort and many makes are also fashionable to keep you looking good. Specialised running trainers may be expensive, but they offer the peak of trainer comfort and fashion and are worth an investment as they will last a good amount of time without needing replacing. Traditional running trainers are white with brightly coloured accents, but more and more designs are being released in warm, earthy colours which look smarter and more sophisticated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-221" title="womens-fashion" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/womens-fashion-300x152.jpg" alt="womens-fashion" width="300" height="152" />Dressing for success, whether in the business or professional world, hinges on knowing your body type and how to dress it to its best advantage. Women generally fall in to one of four different body types.  These <strong>four body types</strong> translate to four different shapes. All women are unique in their body type, but knowing which category you fall in to will give you a head start on filling your wardrobe with clothes that flatter you and all your beautiful uniqueness. These four shapes are classified as apple, pear, hourglass and rectangle.  Once you determine which shape most closely fits your body, then you are ready to learn what styles you should lean towards and which ones you need to stay away from.</p>
<p>A woman with an <strong>apple shaped body</strong> would probably point to her midsection as the place she wants to camouflage and hide. These body types tend to be round around the middle with broader shoulders. But these women usually have legs to be proud of, so don’t be afraid to show your assets. Tunics with short skirts will look fabulous on you as the simple, full tunic top masks any tummy trouble while the hemline shows of the legs. For other options on tops that will look good, gravitate to the empire or high-waisted styles. To give the illusion of a  smaller waistline, look for wrap style tops, or jackets that are cinched in at the waist, with plenty of structure.</p>
<p>If you have the pear or <strong>triangle body shape</strong>, you will want to bring your audiences’ attention to the top half of your body.  Put your splashes of color and light solids on top and use darker bottoms to balance your shape. Try to find tops with wide or scoop cut necks. This widens your shoulders which will balance your hips. If you wear suits and jackets, keep the cut of the jacket right to the top of the hip. Use boot-cut bottoms or A-line skirts to flatter your bottom half.</p>
<p>For the <strong>hourglass body shapes</strong>, you will want to draw attention to the natural curve of your body. This is achievable with styles that show off your waist.  Try to purchase clothing with a defined waist. Wrap dresses are definitely your friend here. Don’t go with the low-rise, instead opt for a higher waisted pant or skirt. To create a longer line, try a top with a dominate V-cut neckline.</p>
<p>If you fall into the <strong>rectangular body shape</strong> category, then you have a very slender build to your body. You will want to create the illusion of curves with your clothing choices. Lean towards jackets with cinched waists and tops with necklines that are scooped or cut in to a V. Low rise and flared jeans will help define some thighs (and count your blessings that you need to work on defined thighs!). You are one of the lucky body types that really look good in a layered look. Don’t go bulky, but a slender body can support more clothes without adding unwanted proportions. Layer colors and patterns to break up the straight look for your body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-197" title="runway-fashion" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/runway-fashion-225x300.jpg" alt="runway-fashion" width="225" height="300" />Ads and magazine covers typically feature very similar looking women. The top actresses and models are almost all stick thin with long arms and legs, with maybe a few curves added by way of plastic surgery. Do you know anyone in real life who looks like that? I don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Some women are naturally thin, but certainly not the majority. Most women have curves and range in height from very short to very tall, whereas models pretty much have to be at least 5&#8242; 8&#8243; or taller. The <strong>fashion</strong> industry selects these women because they show clothing well, but that&#8217;s exactly why a lot of women can&#8217;t quite figure out what the clothes on the runway look on normal sized women who don&#8217;t have the option of surgically sculpting a perfect body.</p>
<p>Here are some of the classic, dependable ways you can incorporate some of the trends into your wardrobe.</p>
<p>If your overall shape is full-figured, be careful of clothing with lots of layers and clothing that is tight. You can find pieces made to cling nicely to your figure&#8217;s assets, like a full bust or hips, while draping quietly over the other parts of you. If you&#8217;re naturally thin, then you can probably more easily wear some of the runway looks. Layers often look really good on thin women.</p>
<p>In general, feminine shapes look good in rounded necklines. Even v-shaped necklines can be cut so as to have a slight curve to them. Thin women can look smashing in a bateau neckline, which comes up to the collar bone but is open from shoulder to shoulder. Audrey Hepburn wore this type of neckline well.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that &#8220;skinny jeans&#8221; are not the same as &#8220;tight jeans,&#8221; and that &#8220;skinny&#8221; refers more to the way the jeans are cut than their size. Obviously if you have long legs, you should go for it. Just make sure you buy a pair that fits. Don&#8217;t try to squeeze into jeans that are too tight. They won&#8217;t look skinny, they&#8217;ll just look like you should have bought another size. Even curvaceous women can adopt the &#8220;skinny jean&#8221; look by selecting jeans that fit well in the waist and hips and that have straight cut legs &#8211; neither flared nor pegged.</p>
<p>High heels are pretty much always in fashion, though there may be one particularly hot style during a given season. You don&#8217;t have to go for the 4-inch heels with the 1-inch platform to look great. A pair of &#8220;go-to&#8221; black pumps that don&#8217;t torment your feet and have a classic shape will serve you well for years. If you want to try the &#8220;nosebleed-high&#8221; heels, practice walking in them before taking them public.</p>
<p>jackets must be cut very well to flatter a curvaceous figure. Styles that go in at the waist then gently flare compliment a curvy figure. It is also important that the shoulders of the jacket line up with your actual shoulders. Otherwise the jacket will simply look too large for you.</p>
<p>Accessories are one of the best ways to make a look your own. If you have a graceful, long neck, choker necklaces and pendants will look good. If you have a small waist, a beautiful leather belt can emphasize it. If you have nice legs, a pencil skirt will look great on you. If it&#8217;s summer and you have beautiful feet, then wear sandals whenever you can to show them off.</p>
<p>Face it: runway <strong>fashion looks</strong><strong> rarely translate into realistic looks for normal life. But you can certainly pick and choose among a season&#8217;s trends to find some that flatter your figure&#8217;s most attractive parts.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-133" title="fashion-tips" src="http://www.all-about-her.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fashion-tips-300x195.jpg" alt="fashion-tips" width="300" height="195" />Ever wondered if there were some actual easy things one could do to make their appearance, or wardrobe stretch further than it would without other intervention?  Some things are quite easy, as you&#8217;ll soon see.</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re short, and would like to look a few inches taller but don&#8217;t feel comfortable in heels?  Try wearing mini skirts (if it&#8217;s age approriate, or longer if not) it&#8217;ll stretch and elongate your figure.  Make sure that when you buy a new bra, you see a fitting person  at the department store or specialty department. Wearing the correct fitting item makes you feel like a million dollars &#8211; even if it isn&#8217;t the latest <a href="http://www.all-about-her.com/category/fashion/" target="_blank">fashion</a> trend.  Or, possibly if you use perfume a lot, or have a lot you just haven&#8217;t gotten to yet, you can take a small bit of water and mix the two, making a new concoction.  Add some glitter, and you&#8217;ve got a whole new product..</p>
<p>When wearing close fitting pants, or capris, wear thongs or G-strings. If you are sporting light colored tight pants, ONLY wear nude colors. All other colors may be visible! White undergarments will glow  in some lighting, and dark underwear will may be seen from a good distance away.  One thing that seems extremely effective in some places, to keep cost down, is hit consignment shops.  Second hand boutiques, get the brand names for cheaper with minimal wear and tear.  Or, even if there&#8217;s a moderate amount of use built into it, use it to form a wardrobe completely YOU!</p>
<p>Go with what you feel comfortable in. Don&#8217;t worry about what everyone else is weating &#8211; accessorize and make every outfit your own.  Go with what you like.  Wear colors that match your eyes, and items that show skin in areas you want attention payed to.  Making your own wardrobe is like crafting an amazing piece of artwork.  Not only will you be proud of it, but many others will take notice as well.</p>
