Her Eyes are Dramatic and Beautiful

One thing I love about Indian women is they way they apply makeup to their eyes. It always looks perfect, and adds that certain exotic touch. Try to stare at an Indian women straight in the eyes. I dare you.




That is what's great about being a woman. Women have aspects about themselves that they can exaggerate. Let's celebrate this to the fullest. Adorn and embellish yourself with luxury!

Inexpensive Quality

Inexpensive buying tactics are easy to achieve. Opt for quality fabrics such as cotton, silk and wool. Compare these to nylon, polyester and other synthetics. Some quality textiles are machine washable and some can be easily dried either laid flat, or hung. Pay attention to details such as seams and button styles. Are the buttons easy or difficult to fasten? Does the zipper close all the way, or does it easily get cought on the fabric? Another important issue are hemlines. Where do they fall on your arms, legs, waist? Are they practical for your body type? If you have any question, either buy a different size or choose an alternate, yet similar label with designs you are attracted to. Always shop with your heart, and never just by someone else's opinion. Stay true to yourself and try to keep your shopping experiences positive, because it will show when you wear that outfit outside of the store.

Spring Fashion

Alessandro Dell'Acqua SS08

To My Dear Glamoristas and Fashionistes,

Spring is always fun, whimsical, and brings memories of laughter and joy to mind. Keep yourself in this flawless mood my dressing that way. Transitional pieces such as cotton trench coats and cardigans in soft hues can go a long way, even into Summer. Do not be threatened by texture this season. Just because it isn't satin or silk doesn't mean women can't wear it. Keep it tastefully feminine with soft details such as brocade with lame' or tweed with silk charmeuse. Your color palette should be fresh and airy, or monochromatic. Keep things simple and dainty (but make sure to stay true to yourself and what you love) and your personality will exude the same.
