Maybe it’s really depend on what type or color of your sock is. And how comfortable your are wearing it. But on my own, I prefer to have it with shorts because I was in to shorts more than pants or jeans when it comes on my styling and fashion statements.

Things to Remember When Shopping For Shoes

 photo reef_zps3dab375f.jpg

Shopping for quality shoes is not easy. It’s sometimes better to just buy something that’s branded and expensive because at least you know that it’s durable and of high quality. But what if you don’t have the money to buy pricey shoes? There are some things to remember to guide you through the process. Always try on the shoes you like first before you decide to buy them. Keep them on your feet and walk around for a few minutes to see how they feel. Be sure that they fit perfectly and you feel comfortable wearing them. Check if the shoes can be returned before buying them.

Purchase from a familiar brand that you’ve worn before when shopping online. This way you already know your accurate size. If you have to choose between leather and synthetic leathers, it’s a no brainer that you have to go with leather. They’re biodegradable and more durable. Always choose quality over quantity. A quality shoe with quality maintenance should last a long time. You shouldn’t worry too much about the cost since quality shoes look better, lasts longer, and are more repairable. Thus, they’re a better long term investment.

As for good dress shoes which men should have at least a pair of, the soles should be stitched not just glued to the bottom of the shoes, at least a quarter of an inch thick, and is made of leather. Also, the lining is made of high quality calfskin or natural leather not synthetic materials. If you want to have stylish and top quality leather shoes, shop at Reef. They have some really beautiful and interesting models to choose from like the Reef Eland. It has premium full grain leather upper with distressed and vintage finishes, leather outsole with rubber enforce strike area, and premium pig skin leather lining. Plus, it’s handcrafted in Brazil.

Another model that’s worth checking out is the Reef Bantu shoe, what with its premium leather full grain upper with distressed and vintage finishes, molded wax texture cushion insole, molded rubber swellular traction out sole, slammed cup sole construction, and EVA compounds for odor management on the insole, among its features. I’m sure I’ll also look good if I wear the Reef Spiniker Mid NB. It has Reef molded rubber swellular traction outsole, removable and washable insole for function and travel, odor management EVA insole, molded wax texture cushion insole, and die cut leather labels inlay on the outsole.

Swimsuit Sarongs From Fairwindssarongs.com

The beautiful thing about women is that they come in all shapes and sizes, each uniquely lovely in her own way. Whether she is tall, short, slender, curvy, athletic, or anywhere in between, a woman’s physique can be her most beguiling asset. Knowing how to dress in a way that will flatter her own body type can only increase her allure.

When it comes to choosing swimwear, women often are unsure of which style best suits their figure. There are so many different cuts and styles available, and that just complicates things even more! Understanding the best type of swimwear to flatter her figure will help any woman achieve that confident look she’s going for.

Ladies who have a minimal bust line should try wearing a top that has embellishments like fringe, ruffles, or metallic accents. This extra detail will help add some volume to the bust line. Horizontal lines and extra thick lining of the top will add some fullness as well. Ladies with an ample bust should opt for tops that provide lift and support. Thick-strapped halters and under wire tops will lift the bust and help elongate her frame.

Women who have a curvy figure look great in bathing suits that that help cinch in the waist. Styles that feature a wide belt, color blocking, or an empire waist all help accentuate curves without adding bulk. Women who are pear-shaped can draw the attention upwards with a plunging neckline, or opt for a boy-short style bottom for extra coverage.

Another great way to play up swimwear style is to add fun accessories. A bright sun hat, sexy shades, fun beach tote, and a sarong will complete the pool-side look brilliantly! In fact, swimsuit sarongs from fairwindssarongs.com can bring the perfect element of sexy summer style to help accentuate any woman’s best assets, and even help camouflage certain areas that she feels need more coverage.

The most important detail of pulling off a hot summer look is to have confidence. No matter how she dresses, if a woman feels confident in what she has on, she can wear anything! Feeling comfortable and looking good go hand in hand, so it’s always a must to feel good in whatever she decides to wear.

I actually, wanted myself to wear this since last December 2012 because I’ve seen some Kpop celebrities wearing it already and it look so cool to them. And I think it so cool too to have this vintage styling quite some times though I prefer myself to wear some hippy pieces. However, due with some instances like the kind of weather we’ll be having that time I really cant consider this find and rock myself to it. But now, I’ll be pushing myself more to have the piece and have my post up about it that may serve as my outfit post here.

Trends: Short Bridesmaid Dresses

 photo beach-wedding-bridesmaid-dresses_zps7b66a0fe.jpg

A wedding is an important event for everyone involved. For the bride and groom, it marks the day where two people pair together for the rest of their lives. Their families are joined together as well through the act of marriage. The parents and grandparents of the bride and groom traditionally take a leading role when it comes to planning the wedding. Therefore, they want to see everything come together nice on the big day.

The groom has only a couple of big decisions to make before his wedding day. His first decision is choosing a tuxedo to wear at the altar. His second decision is to choose who his best man will be as well as his groomsmen. To guys, this is an informal process during which a few close friends are selected to join him to celebrate his big accomplishment.

Women have it a lot harder. There can be a lot of fighting and drama surrounding who the bridesmaids will be. Those who are selected want to look their best. If the bridesmaids are all wearing short bridesmaid dresses, they have to be designed in a classy manner that won’t outshine the bride on a day that is supposed to be all about her.

1.) Farah Vintage The Winchester Crew Knit – £85.00

2.) Edwin ED-39 Blue Watch Jeans – £110.00

3.) Barbour Thorn Shirt – £65.00

4.) Grenson Stanley Full Brogue – £200.00

5.) Laboratory Perfumes – £50.00

Browsing through the store, I saw some really great items such as the Farah Vintage Winchester Crew Knit, Edwin ED-39 Blue Watch Jeans, Barbour Thorn Shirt and a pair of Grenson Stanley Full Brogue all shown above. I’ve heard good things about Laboratory Perfumes too and I noticed Northern Threads stock it when I was perusing their site.

The Farah Vintage Winchester Crew Knit is a stylish crew neck knit which has a thick ribbing on the cuffs, hem, and neck and an insulating knitted material to provide warmth. They work well with those Edwin ED-39 jeans – I’m a big fan of Edwin and particularly the ed-39 style; versatile, stylish and they can literally be worn with anything, anywhere.This straight legged pair is 100% cotton, has a button fly, and has five pockets. Every man should also have the Barbour Thorn Shirt either in blue or white, this stylish shirt has a button down collar, button cuffs, and button chest pocket. You will definitely look stylish if you are wearing this along with jeans and impeccable shoes. Which brings me to another pick of mine; Grenson Stanley Full Brogue shoes, one of Grenson’s eldest shoes. An elegant hand crafted brogue with wing tip, and double leather sole. Any guy will look classy and handsome when wearing these shoes.

As I mentioned I also browsed through the Laboratory Perfumes section and saw the Laboratory Samphire 100 ml. Eau De Toilette. “This brings together the scent of fresh jutiner berries, citrus oils and lavender for a modern scent” well suited for the modern man.

I’d certainly recommend you take a look for yourself.
