Haute Workout: Belly Dance 2008-04-13 07:22:24 Belly-dancing has been one of my adored hobbies since I was a little girl. Not only is it fun it'll make you feel like a total Glamazon. It teaches you how to flow as well as gives you major body-confidence. Belly-dancing is great for weight loss as well you'll be shimmying your way svelte. So try it! If you don't have belly-dance lessons in your area ( Isuppose not everyone reading this lives in NY) why not order a great instructional video it's still fantastic and you can learn at your own pace. I recommend Veena and Neena's Belly-Dance
for fitness tapes. As far as outfitting goes you'll find great deals on online boutiques or if you are lucky to finda seamstress skilled in belly dancing costumes, you're better of going custom made. Just be careful not to get ripped off. I trust The Tur Read more:Haute

However, Dubai, a city of United Arab Emirates, is becoming one of the most fashion-savvy, couture conscious places in the world!Dubai is the home to one of the world’s largest malls, the Mall of the Emirates that feature over 400 designer shops from Burberry to DKNY.

The Little Black Dress 2008-04-07 14:02:06 No matter her budget, location, or social circle, a great cocktail dress is a necessity every girl should have in her wardrobe. And though most girls would love to pick out a new dress for every party they go to, the option just isn’t feasible. Enter the “little black dress.” The classy black dress has been a staple since it’s introduction in the 1920’s by iconic designer Coco Chanel. The LBD is a timeless trend. A simple, elegant black frock can be dressed up or down depending on accessories. And it is just as versatile as it is stylish. You can don your favorite shift dress and add spiky heels, heavy eye liner and bunches of bangles to prove a rocker chic ensemble, but the same dress decorated with strands of pearls, a loose updo hairstyle and elegant ballet flats will give of Read more:Black

HM MEN: Honesty is the Best Policy 2008-04-04 19:36:18 Contributed by Gabriel WoodThere is this person we all have in our lives. We may speak to this person several times a day, everyday. We may throw insults at this person whenever we are upset and dismayed. We may scream and cry to this person when we are overwhelmed with stressed. We usually confide in this person about every aspect of our lives. When we break up with a long term partner, this is the first person we report to, to seek alleviation. When we meet a brand new interest, and successfully arrange a date, this person is the last point of contact that we check everything with, and sometimes practice our cheesy lines to. This person is sad when we are sad, cries when we cry, listens when we talk, laughs when we laugh, and are always there when we need them.What a great friend, eh? Al Read more:Honesty

Party Perfect Make Up 2008-04-04 17:11:52 The Diva. Pairing dramatic eyes with pale lips is one of the most sought after retro looks. It's especially enticing when you change your eye color for the night with colored contacts and finish with one or two layers of fake lashes. The smoky eye in an unexpected color like ultra violet, silver or aqua might also be a great way to make this look ultra modern. As far as lipstick goes stick with your natural lip color but go one shade brighter. The Vixen. Dare to wear red? Wearing red can instantly make you look and feel sexier and will definitely make you stand out in a room.

Keep your cool with these amazing tips:-You know how much sleep your body needs, so get a good rest the night before. If you have time, get in a few hours rest right before the event. This will keep you refreshed and make your face look bright.-Use eye makeup remover the day of the event. There's no sense in having raccoon eyes or any excess darkness dragging your look down.-Keep makeup carefree and simple. This doesn't mean you have to be un-dramatic or look bare.
