Sail Away with Nautical Fashion


Even if you're land-locked, nothing says summer like a maritime theme! All the hot designers have given their nod to the nautical ...and why not? Bold patterns, classic shapes and colors, and whimsical details make up the look which has sailed happily into ready-to-wear. Nautical patterns and ocean-inspired clothing and accessories promise to be a hot trend for summer; get inspired and add a nautical twist to your wardrobe with a striped tee. Button detailing, a scoop neckline and a relaxed fit ensures you will be comfortable and stylish all season long. Pair with a flirty skirt, a chain necklace and a cozy pair of flats for a look that proves you know how to pull it together. Add a bit of nautical flair to your wardrobe with a sterling silver anchor necklace. A stylish necklace goes with anything, but for the most impact pair with a relaxed tee, white shorts and gladiator sandals. Perfect! A chic, sassy handbag will add a touch of nautical flair to any outfit! Roomy enough to hold all of your essentials (and then some!) look for a bag that features antique-inspired button detailing, metallic handles, a large exterior pocket and a striped bow for extra style. A shoulder strap for even more convenience! An all-over sailboat print, contrasting stripes at the bodice and a racer back style, a dress works well for a sunny Spring day or a coverup for the beach! Keep the rest of your look simple to avoid contrasting with the dress; white sandals, a small handbag and a tiny pair of silver earrings is all you need to make your dress pop.

Nautical inspired pieces are promising to be a hot commodity once again, so take inspiration from the items featured here and you’ll have smooth sailing throughout the coming months!

How to Look HOT After a Break Up


Recovering from a breakup involves more than chocolate ice cream and trashing your ex's things. A changed-up and improved beauty routine will take you from doom and gloom to va-va-va-voom in no time. And even if moving on and dating someone new is not on your radar just yet, looking amazing from head to toe should be (it's the best revenge!). So what do you do when you're ready to get over the breakup? Give yourself a breakup makeover — a breakover! Here's how.

CONFIDENCE! Though there are many ways to boost your confidence, what you wear can make a big difference. Wear something that you feel great in! It can be different for everyone. A pair of great heels can turn heads your way as well as assist in giving yourself a towering appearance. Breaking up isn't the equivalent to a funeral...stay away from the black! Trading your dull duds for bright colors shows you are outgoing and makes you approachable. Don't hesitate to try new things, incorporate something into your ensemble that stands out. This can be a pin on flower, a great piece of fashion jewelry, or some red hot lipstick! I promise it won't hurt your chances of finding the next Mr. Right by showing a little more skin! Don't take this one overboard, but work your assets! Wear those great skinnies that show off some tush, a little push up bra never hurt anyone, or go for the trendy mini skirt! Put a smile on your face! He's going to hate what he's missing out on! You are going to love the way you feel! Good luck ladies! YOU deserve it!

You will find that there are three places you should look before you purchase a mini skirt. For that perfect and stylish short skirt, check online, in a department store, and in the second hand store.

I would have to say in today's world the first port of call for a mini skirt, leather skirt, satin skirt, plaid skirt or denim skirt would be on the internet. There are a lot of shops and clothing retailers that have websites online that offer mini skirts for sale. You will find that most have a huge range that you would not normally see in their shop.
