embelishment me all over

Trends will change, Fashion will change but some pieces will be timeless- Kicking couture

Christian Dior never fails to create trends and pieces which are bold but classy movement in fashion world. Embellishments as always were a big feature at the Christian Dior Haute Couture a/w 2008 and it's ready to wear collection.

Boxy jackets, a- line skirts, slim line satin suits, princess coats and embellisment was the main focus of the Christian Dior RTW fall collection. The simplicty of the shapes and outlines of the clothing screamed as always very 60's, When you think of the 60's, you think mini's, twiggy era, which is incorrect, that style was not fashionable until the late 60's. The 60's fashion was very much still belonging to the late fifties. The straight shift suits was very popular, which had developed from the 1957 sack dress, was well below the knee. If you want examples of the 60's look in its true form look to " Paris when it sizzles" a fashion enchanting film with a rather dull plot.

Summing up Christian Dior for Fall: gigantic back-combed hairdos, gigantic eye makeup, and the neat ladylike suits and dresses of Kennedy-era America.

Dresses with embellishment was the highlight of the show, with embellishment which was simply mesmerising. Which captured peoples hearts like a magpie to a shiny necklace.

An easy way to incorporate this trend is this simple button up tank with a line of gems from free people $48. The price tag, a little hefty but will be a gem in a wardrobe for many years to come.

Aurora

Was always amazed by the interesting pictures of Aurora's in school textbooks.

Starting up, the Dictionary defines Aurora as

- a radiant emission from the upper atmosphere that occurs sporadically over the middle and high latitudes of both hemispheres in the form of luminous bands, streamers, or the like, caused by the bombardment of the atmosphere with charged solar particles that are being guided along the earth's magnetic lines of force.

Hair Styling Tips

Always use a protecting spray when blow drying your hair, this helps from damaging your hair. Then do a few more quick spray of the protector before straightening it. To really get a good hold use an extreme hold hair spray.

Colors are always a good way to make an emo style stand out. For those who can't color their hair, pick up some non-permanent hair color. It is temporary and will wash right out. You can find them in sprays and gels. All colors too- red, black, purple, blue, pink, green, teal, yellow, aqua, etc. You can always use more than one color!

The cut says it all. Short or long- it doesn't matter. Cut or have your hair cut in choppy, uneven layers. Side bangs are the bomb! Throwing some color in them will def. draw some attention. Using a razor will give you more texture- which is a great thing with emo hair.

If your hair is thick and you want it thinner to style better- use or have your stylist use a thinning sheer- this while thin out your hair (but not too much) and also give you texture.

Simple Steps in Fighting Excessive Hairfall

Having excessive falling hair is a condition that is commonly shared by a lot of people. Many factors contribute to this, such as stress and tension, poor diet and malnutrition, hormonal imbalance, over-processing of the hair, and frequent use of styling products and chemicals, to name a few. Just because it is a common condition does not mean that it should be ignored and left untreated. If you allow the condition to persist, you might find yourself dealing with bigger problems in the future, such as hair loss and baldness. If you suffer from excessive hair fall, here are some simple steps to follow in order to arrest the problem.

Reassess your diet and eating habits. Make sure that you are providing your body with the right amount of vitamins and nutrients. Eat a lot of food rich in protein and Vitamins B and E, as these promote the growth of healthy and lustrous hair.

Avoid combing or brushing your hair when it is wet and refrain from putting it up on a ponytail or a tight bun. Hair is at its weakest when wet and brushing or combing it makes it prone to splitting and breakage. Fixing your hair up in a very tight hairstyle may also cause unnecessary damage to the hair follicles and may result to hair loss.

Lastly, always keep your scalp clean and free of dirt or product buildup. Wash it on a daily basis to get rid of dirt, grime, excess sebum, and styling product buildup. Massage it every so often to aid in the circulation of blood to the scalp. This allows the scalp and the hair follicles to breathe and to stimulate the growth and production of healthy hair.

Couture it.

"Haute couture is a little gem which thinks like a big gem, which captures peoples hearts" -kicking couture.

Dior is known for its fabulous haute couture, for me, its not about the outfits. Its the little details that count, how the gowns are all handmade and each little jewel and the layering of the fabrics which make it all worth it.
