Summer is just around the corner and I’ve been falling in love with body chains. They’re perfect for tanks, swim wear or to complement a sultry summer dress. Rihanna and Beyonce are just some of the celebrities rocking this look!
Recently stumbled upon this emerging body chain jewelry brand from vancouver called Element 7 http://element7style.com. Their designs are unique, fresh and sought out by celebrities and customers all over the world.
I’ve had my eye on their leg chains (that’s right, I said leg chains!) and shoulder chains for a while. Not to mention their affordable prices for these luxuries! Unlike other places selling body chains, Element 7 offers unique, quality designs created inhouse in Vancouver. Check them out and be sure to follow their updates on Facebook.com/element7style.com
If you’re looking for new fashion trends, it might be worth checking out a hot or not site and browsing through the profiles to get a good idea of what kind of clothing attracts high votes and what doesn’t. While natural beauty often determines the ratings, many overlook the simple fact that a hot dress or trendy new outfit can increase the ratings by a good few points. And since many of these sites rank their members by rating, you can easily get a good idea of what the hottest outfits currently are.
One site which does this well is Pictures2Rate.com, which is a hot or not style rating site which not only ranks its members by ratings, but also features the top 20 highest rated members on its homepage. So you could literally visit the site and be greeted by the hottest members on the home page, to get an immediate snapshot of what is currently considered ‘hot’. Their featured members and lists are seperated by gender, so you don’t have to worry about filtering through male and female profiles to find what you are looking for. The site also has a pinterest page which is worth checking out (you can find the link at the bottom of the site). Their pinterest page also features their hottest members, but with an increased emphasis on what they are wearing. Each of the pictures also comes with a description of the items of clothing, so you may have even stumbled on it before yourself if you’re a pinterest user that looks for fashion pics.
Having said that, is it really worth using a hot or not site to discover new trends? After all, it is quite obvious that the ratings people give are not simply based on the fashion alone, but also on the physical attractiveness of the person. Unfortunately this also means that less clothing can also result in a higher rating, and there have been cases reported of nude pictures getting onto the site and immediately gaining 10/10 ratings (pff), but luckily the admins of the site are quick to remove such material since it goes against their terms of use.
So while it may not be the best way to get a good idea of what’s currently hot in the fashion world, it’s still a decent indicator. And besides, you may even end up having fun on a site like Pictures2Rate.com from rating other people (it can be quite addictive), or getting your own pic rated, if you are brave enough to upload it!
If you’re a woman with an interest in fashion, you likely have several pairs of jeans in your wardrobe arsenal. Jeans are the perfect staple for any female because they are available in numerous cuts, colors and styles. No matter what body shape you have, a high quality pair of jeans will accentuate your contours. Womens jeans range from casual and modest to chic and sophisticated.
One of the most popular styles of modern-day jeans are jeggings. These skinny jeans fit snuggly from hip to ankle, which creates a slimming silhouette. Jeggings come in a variety of colors, and many styles have a vintage look. Some skinny jeans may be cropped while others may have extra long lengths. When paired with boots and long shirts, these stylish jeans can give any female supermodel status.
Another common style is the straight-leg jean. This classic version is ideal for someone who wants a straight cut from the hips to the ankles. A straighter cut provides a more casual aesthetic, but these jeans can be dressed up as well. Many styles come with cuffed ankles, giving the jeans a vintage look without appearing dated. Straight-leg jeans often have a softer feel than other varieties, and they may have rips or frayed hems.
Many women opt for boot-cut or flared jeans, which are cut straight from hip to thigh, but they flare at the ankle. Boot-cut jeans have less room at the ankle than the flared counterpart. Both styles can be comfortable and roomy, and they each may be worn for everyday activities or nights out on the town. While this style of jean has taken a backseat for other trendier versions, the flared cut gives women a retro option.
Womens jeans are designed to flatter and enhance the female shape. Your options are plentiful, and you can mix and match your preferences. Pair a high-rise waist with a flared cut to visually elongate the legs, or select a low-waisted jegging to show off your curves. Regardless of which style you choose, you should wear what best represents your unique personality and image.
