Your prom is one of the special events while in high school. Finding a dress can be fun, and you can look for one that reflects your personality so that it is different from all the rest. Shop by style so that you can find the perfect dress to accent your neckline, body style and height.

Nude or Print?
When looking for a prom dress, you should first decide whether you want one that has a lot of color or one that has a nude effect. The color of your dress will help determine the color of shoes and accessories you will wear. Nude dresses often have colored beading or jewels on the top of the dress, and the rest of the dress is a beige or ivory color. Print dresses can be fun because you have several colors to choose from, and there are a variety of designs you can look for. Choose from an animal print with multiple colors or an elegant dress with variations of the same color.

Sleeves
After you have determined what color of dress you want to get, you need to look at the sleeves. Are you going to wear something that is sleeveless with a scarf or wrap, or will you get something that has longer sleeves in the event the evening is chilly? There are dresses with only one shoulder and dresses that have a sleeve design that makes it look like there is an entire sleeve when there is really only decorations on the arms.

Accents
The accents on the dress are the last things you will choose. Ruffles are an option if you want the dress to have bounce and volume. You can get a dress that is higher in the front with a lower portion in the back that extends to the feet. Choose a dress that has lace if you want something that is more elegant. Feathers are a fun option if you want the top in one color and the bottom in a different shade. After you have your dress, complete the ensemble with shoes and jewelry.

Catching Fire: Hunger games inspired style

by admin

You might have read the books or taken a trip to the cinema, or your interaction with Hunger Games franchise may have been accidental, but, you would have been exposed to it at one point or another – unless you just woke up from a coma that is.

Having made its mark on box-office figures and book sales, Catching Fire has proved to be hot hot hot in the fashion world, influencing both men and women’s styles.

From attractive actors to outstanding clothing, your gaze never wanders from the screen. I particularly love the contrast between the practical fashions of the rugged Districts and opulent designs of the Capitol.  From earthy tones and distressed denim, to high-shine fabrics and blue hair, the differences are a stroke of true costume design genius.

So if you want to create something a worthy of Katniss, Peeta or Caesar, here’s my top outfits picks to help you create your own screen-hero.

Caesar Flickerman

One of the boldest characters in the films without a doubt, Caesar’s style is loud and over the top. While you might think his purple eyebrows and high-shine jackets are more fancy dress than street style, you can take a little of his confidence and wear it with ease. How about a gorgeous Alexander McQueen skull suit? Available from FarFetch, it might be pretty costly but again, it’s McQueen, it’s hardly going to be bargain! Forgetting its price, I think it’s a great Caesar-esc suit for the bold dresser who wants to make an entrance and entertain an audience.

Katniss Everdeen

For all my fashion loving girls who are looking for a more accessible style, the woman to turn to is the heroic Katniss Everdeen. The District 12 fighting femme has made a huge impact on current trends and we’re seeing her stylish practicality everywhere. Chanel her ready-for-anything look by pairing these gorgeous dark grey marble effect Lee skinny jeans from Psyche with a tough but pretty pair of boots. The Ugg Australia Black Jena Military Boots are perfect!

Peeta Mellark

Peeta is our reliable hero and like him, most of his clothing choices are wardrobe-essentials you can trust. He owned the tight black tee during the fight-to-the-death games, so invest in a good cotton number as a base-layer. Pair it with some khaki trousers and a hooded waterproof jacket, like the Lyle & Scott vintage jacket from ASOS and you’re ready to be victorious – in the fashion stakes that is.

For women with a fuller figure, choosing a style that they feel comfortable with can be tricky. If you’re a curvy lady who’s struggling to decide on the right look for your body shape, it’s important to go for pieces that flatter your curves whilst minimising problem areas. Don’t even consider wearing shapeless layers in the hope of disguising your curves. Instead be proud of your feminine shape, follow these great hints for stylish looks for curvaceous women and rock those curves!

The Belted Trench

A belted trench is the perfect coat to highlight an hourglass figure, as the belt nips in your waist and exaggerates its tiny size compared to your hips and bust. Tie the belt as tightly as is comfortable to really accentuate your knockout figure and give you a fashionable 1950s look. If you’re particularly busty, then a double-breasted trench will add extra bulk on top, so try a single-breasted trench for a more flattering effect. A belted trench is casual enough to be worn for shopping trip and can be dressed up for a smart night out, so make sure your wardrobe contains at least one!

Printed Leggings

All too often, curvy girls shy away from prints in case they accentuate any lumps and bumps, but in fact prints can be a hot look for any shape and size. The range of printed leggings out there at the moment is huge, from animal print to floral, and a teaming a pair of these fab leggings with killer heels and a tunic top is a great look for everyone. If you have more curves than most, don’t go for all-over prints; instead choose a plain coloured top with some statement jewellery to accessorize your printed leggings. High heels will make your legs appear longer and slimmer, so choose a pair with the highest heels that you feel comfortable walking in.

photo Peplum-Top_zps93cfd22f.jpg

A Peplum Top

Another great way to accentuate a nipped-in waist is a peplum top, and this style is great for the office, a party or even a casual Sunday brunch. Worn with a pencil skirt, trousers or jeans, peplum tops can by styled up or down and look great on women of all sizes. Don’t be put off by the flared peplum and fret that it’ll emphasize larger hips, in actually camouflages them whilst looking totally on-trend. One thing to get right is to make sure that the waist of the top sits where your actual waist is, otherwise you may lose some of the hourglass effect. Shop around until you find the perfect fit for your body type.

Colour-Blocking

Colour-blocking is using intentionally placed blocks of bright, contrasting colours in your outfit, and looks totally fabulous when done correctly. You don’t want the colours to clash, so think carefully about what colours will complement each other whilst still being different. This trend is the perfect way to draw attention to your favourite areas of your body, whilst playing down your problem areas. Make sure that the bright colours cover the parts you want to highlight, whilst neutral tones hide the parts you want to disguise. A colour-block dress with neutral side panels will give your figure that sexy hourglass shape.

The Wrap Dress

A wrap dress is the perfect go-to dress for shapely girls, and can be worn for any occasion. With their winning combination of cinched-in waist and flattering v-neck, wrap dresses show off your beautiful figure to its best advantage. The tied-in waistline makes women of any size and shape look curvy and fabulous, and a v-neck is great for bigger busts as it draws attention to a great cleavage and elongates the neck. A classic black wrap dress looks great with bright accessories and statement jewellery, but a bold print will also look fantastic.

Whether you’re looking for your own unique style to wear to the office, on a glamorous night out or just for a walk in the park, learning what style best suits your shape is essential for any woman. For those with curves, think nipped-in waists, flattering necklines, clever use of colour as camouflage and showing off your best assets. Play around with different colours, styles and accessories and you’ll have no problems looking sexy and stylish, whatever your size and shape.

 

Basic Biker Gear for Beginners

by admin

photo istock-bikercouplesmall_zps98a66c59.jpg

There are several reasons you may find yourself riding a bike. It could either be that you are saving on fuel, It could be that you are trying to beat the traffic; it could be for fun or a professional undertaking. Whatever the reason, there are basic things you should know about the bike gear that you should take with you. The gear may vary depending on the specific venture but the underlying Idea is the same. Here is a guide to what biker gear will be of most help to you.

Clothing biker gear

For starters, there is need to know what kind of clothing is appropriate for you. I put clothing first in the list because the choice of clothing is what will offer you comfort and ensure that you enjoy the ride. The choice of clothing depends mostly on the weather but do not forget that the weather may be unpredictable at times. It is good to plan on any eventuality. Basically, a fair weather allows for comfort. The appropriate gear will be some cycling shorts and a light top. Having padded shorts makes the riding experience even more comfortable. Be sure to put on top with moisture-wicking capabilities if there is high humidity. This will help you stay cool and comfortable. If it is cold, a warm jacket will be ideal and a sports trouser which should be a bit figure hugging. Do not forget to plan for a rainy day with a waterproof jacket and pants as well as shoe covers. Neoprene will be ideal for the shoe cover.

Safety biker gear

Safety should never be compromised when biking. Remember that accidents can happen no matter how proficient one may be. Protecting the head is paramount and the best way is to have a helmet. In case of a hard fall, your head will be protected from serious bruises and injuries. Some helmets come with a helmet liner which provides comfort and warmth in cold weather as well as absorbing sweat in hot weather.

For the hands, use biker gloves which will protect your hands from the fatigue that is caused by the hard vibrations when using a rough road. There are different types of gloves available depending on the weather, including water proof ones for a rainy day. Your shoes need to be fitting and well-padded to protect your feet from corns and fatigue. Your eyes also need protection from the various light conditions. Sunglasses are therefore a must. You can vary lenses depending on the light. They also protect your eyes from particles that may disrupt your ride.

Tire repair Gear

This is another set of biker gear that should never be left behind. Every biker should have with him tools such as a spare tube, a patch kit and tire levers. What this essentially means is that they should also equip themselves with repairing skills should anything go wrong.

Under-seat bag

An under-seat bag as a biker gear can be used to carry any clothing gear that will be required. Your wallet and phone go here too. It is also an ideal place to pack the tire repair gear and some snacks for a great ride.

With these few items, you are good to go and have a ride of your life.

The NFL’s All-Time Rushing Leaders

by admin

photo EXO_TEASER_04_zps5d458a52.jpg

Many different statistics are taken into consideration in the debate of who the greatest NFL running back of all time is. One of the stat-lines that is always taken into consideration is who had the most rushing yards from scrimmage, one of the favorite bets at allpro . There have been many great running backs in the history of the NFL. Some of them were better runners than others, while others were better in the passing attack or as blockers. Some great running backs went on to win Super Bowls while others did not. But if we are talking about all-time rushing records, then the most career running yards from scrimmage is an undeniable statistic for determining greatness.

According to this statistic, these are the three all-time rushing leaders in the history of the National Football League.

Emmitt Smith

In his 15 years as a running back in the NFL, Smith amassed more rushing yards than any other running back in the history of the NFL. Playing from 1990 to 2004, Smith rushed for a total of 18,355 yards. Not only is he the all-time leading rusher by a significant margin, many analysts consider Smith to be the most complete running back of all time. He was as good catching the ball as he was running with it, and there are not many running backs that had the speed, power and elusiveness that he had.

Smith was a first-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys, where he played for the majority of his illustrious career. He went on to win three Super Bowls with the Cowboys and is also the only running back in the history of the league to win four of the most coveted awards in one year. Namely, for the 1993 season, Smith won the Super Bowl with the Cowboys, was named the Super Bowl MVP, the league MVP, and won the rushing crown for most rushing yards by any running back that year. He is also one of only two non-kickers to account for over 1,000 points in his career. Smith was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, being the first player from the 1990 draft class to receive this honor.

Walter Payton

Payton held the rushing record for the longest time of any running back until it was finally broken by Emmitt Smith. He rushed for a total of 16,726 yards in between 1975 and 1987 as a member of the Chicago Bears team. “Sweetness,” as he was called, was easily the most dominant football player of his era. In fact, during his most prolific year, he led the league not only in rushing yards, but also rushing attempts, touchdowns scored, yards from scrimmage, all-purpose yards, and a slew of other offensive categories.

Payton was even good at throwing the ball. He threw for eight touchdowns in his career, which is more than any other non-quarterback in league history. Payton was selected to the Pro-Bowl nine times in his career and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993. He was also known as a great humanitarian and his legacy of helping others continues to live on through the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which is given to players involved in volunteer and charity work. Payton won a lone Super Bowl as a member of the 1985 Bears.

Barry Sanders

If you ask anyone who the running back was that was most exciting to watch, most would say Barry Sanders. Known as being the most elusive running back of all time, his legacy might be the strongest, considering that he was able to achieve such incredible personal statistics while virtually always playing on a losing team. Sanders amassed 15,269 in his career playing for the Detroit Lions. He never reached a Super Bowl, but is still regarded as being one of the best running backs in the history of the sport. Sanders averaged over 1,500 rushing yards per season, which is even more incredible considering that the Detroit Lions usually had a fairly poor passing game and opponents knew that Sanders would be getting the ball on a majority of the team’s offensive plays.

How to Find Good Value Mobile Phone Deals

by admin

Mobile phones are expensive, and there’s no way around that. If you want a high spec mobile phone, you have to pay for it. We’d all love that not to be the case, but because they are in such demand, there’s no way that prices are dropping anytime soon. That being said, the way you buy a mobile phone can have a big impact on the amount that phone will cost you over the couple of years that you are likely to own it. Here we have put together a bit of information for you to digest, which will hopefully help you to understand the best, and worst ways you can buy your swanky new mobile phone!

Long Term Contracts at Your Peril!

Long term contracts almost always seem like a good deal when first viewed. A free iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S4? Yes please! If it sounds too good to be true, it’s because it is. These deals indeed give you a free phone at the outset of the contract, but you are going to be paying for your phone and your calls, texts and data for the duration of the contract. What’s more, when you weigh this approach up against other options, you’ll soon discover that it’s not the cheapest way to buy.

SIM Only Deals

Buying a SIM only contract is often the best way forward. A SIM only contract is still a contract with a phone network giant, but because you’re not taking one of their phones on the deal, you obviously pay less money for the contract – a lot less. For whatever you can agree for either the year, or thirty days they ask for you to sign up for, you will get a pre determined amount of minutes, texts and data, and it’s normally for a very agreeable price. A couple of hundred minutes, a similar amount of texts and a reasonable amount of mobile data is probably not going to cost you much more than five pounds, while a twelve month contract for unlimited data, calls and texts should be attainable for around £15. This is a drop in the ocean in comparison to the many, many contracts that cost from thirty pounds upwards. If you consider this route to a mobile phone, you need to factor a few things in.

Find the Right Mobile

Firstly, you should try to find a mobile phone you like, and find out what it is going to cost you to buy it outright. This might be problematic for some people, but there are ways around that. For instance, if you want an iPhone, you can expect to pay around £500 for the privilege. Some people don’t have that sort of cash to hand, which is why they often opt for a long term contract with the phone free upfront. Sometimes a better option is actually to buy the phone with a credit card, and set up a direct debit to pay off the balance across a couple of years. Amazingly, doing this and taking up a top SIM only contract for 12 months back to back works out significantly cheaper than if you opted for the contract. Of course, if you find a mobile phone which is a little cheaper, you stand to make even greater savings.

Do Your Sums!

The important thing is to make sure you get your maths right. Let’s start with £500 for your iPhone. Add to this £15 per month for 24 months if you want to go for a SIM only deal which gives you unlimited calls, texts and data. Overall you’re looking at a cost of £860. At the moment you can pick up an iPhone 5S on a two year contract from Carphone Warehouse with 1GB of data per month, along with unlimited calls and texts for £42 per month. Over the duration this is going to cost you £1008. The difference is huge, and of course, any interest payments on a credit card can easily be absorbed in the money that you are going to save by using this approach.

SIM Only Flexibility

1 year contract SIM card tariffs also give you so much flexibility. If you know that you need all the data in the world but you don’t actually make too many calls, then you will almost certainly be able to find a SIM only package that suits your needs. What’s more it’ll cost you less too!

When you look at the market place and divide it up into these two different options, it seems to us that there should be no question of how you fund your next mobile phone. The contract is sometimes viewed as the most convenient way of getting things sorted out, but at what cost? Don’t throw away your money; just spend a few minutes doing a bit of research to help you save hundreds of pounds on your next phone!

Bandage Dresses – Tips for Becoming A Fashionable and Unique Presence Among Others Around You

by admin

photo 139053286-jpg_192341_zpse6023d4d.jpg

Let’s be honest, every woman wants to be fashionable all the time and for this reason, they are constantly seeking for the latest fashion trends, purchasing expensive garments that may or may not value their finest physical traits. At this moment, bandage dresses are extraordinarily popular and Kim Kardashian is a living proof of this matter – the way she wears these dresses has captivated everyone’s attention, determining women from all over the world to adopt similar styles and make their outfits even more fashionable.

For women who want to be trendy this fall, the bandage dresses they should choose need to be colored in vivid or meditative shades like samba red, cobalt blue, linden green, turbulence, orange koi, purple acai or, why not, turquoise. These colors are appropriate for any occasion as long as they are fitted properly, so why don’t you try to experience a few combinations before deciding which one is better for you? You can try various color combinations in which turbulence, linden green or samba red are constantly present, because these shades are simply superb, making your body look amazingly well in a carefully hand-picked bandage dress.

You cannot be too stylish when wearing a bandage dress, so you can always try to bring some novelty to your outfit by adding a few nice accessories to it. This fall, oversized accessories are very trendy, so give up tiny pendants in favor of huge ones. What about a tiny belt around your waist, along with an elegant pair of earrings and a nice handbag? Your bandage dress should always be fitted with a small handbag, like the ones manufactured by Chanel – your look will be classy, but très chic!

Emma Watson is surely one of the most appreciated Hollywood celebrities, but the way she wears that pink bandage dress is simply stunning. Pink, not at all revealing and perfectly molded on her body – this is exactly the bandage dress you need for a complete and feminine outfit. If your body is a little bit weighty, avoid revealing your legs too much and focus on your top, which should necessarily include a proper décolletage. Add a nice pair of high heels to your outfit, but try to avoid pencils ones, because they might make your legs appear too thin. Unless this is the effect you want for your overall physical appearance, then you should pick a pair of simple sandals or leather boots, for a plus of authenticity.

Versatility is one of the key aspects of the bandage dress you should opt for. If you are not completely sure which one will fit your body best, then the most appropriate option is looking for a versatile bandage dress that can be fitted to all of your accessories, fashion styles, shoes and, of course, handbags! Maybe a white or light-shaded dress which should cover the upper thigh and slightly reveal your décolletage, or maybe a lace bandage dress that fits your body like a glove. But not matter what choice you make, do not forget your flair – it will complete your outfit and will make you a unique presence among others around you!
