Voice of Fashion

Ladies, who do you dress for? You dress for yourself to show your self confidences, and high self esteem? Or just to be feel comfortable?

What affects the way we dress? Lots of aspects can influence our choices, our careers for example. We communicate through clothes, you can see someone across the street and form an opinion of them in less than ten seconds and you haven’t even spoken to them.

We base our opinions on what people wear and how they wear it. For example, when meeting your boyfriends parents are you dressing for yourself or for them? When going out with your girlfriends, are you dressing for them? Or, if you have a hot date you may dress a little more provocatively than usual, these aspect influence our choices.

Some of us dress for the opposite sex. Although, men don’t typically prefer high fashion trends, they like women to look simple and sexy. So why do women dress for men?

Perhaps, because they are a little insecure and seeking approval, crave attention, and want to impress?

Most women dress for other women, whether it’s for admiration or to make others envious. fashion is another way of communicating with each other. Are we actually just fishing for compliments to give us a confidence boost?

Ladies, have you ever wanted to look thinner without losing a pound? As your fashion consultant, I would like to share of ways to look 10 pounds lighter!

Remember the number one secret of slim dressing: Proportion

• Full, round shapes on top and bottom will make you look…full and round. So always accentuate your smallest part by pairing your more generously cut pieces with a snugger mate. Balance a wide leg pants with a fitted shirt, a miniskirt with a longer top, etc.

Match your separates.

• “Lose” five pounds by matching your pants or skirt, stockings and shoes. You’ll seem 10 pounds lighter if they’re all black! The one-color thing too tame for your taste? Slip on a pair of bright shoes to shake things up.

Invest in a pair of nude pumps.

• The nude-color heel—it’s second only to Spanx in the fashion secrets handbook. Perfect for wearing with knee-length and mid-thigh skirts, they can add a few more inches to your sexy legs. Be warned—the nude shoe trick works only with bare legs. Once paired with dark tights, the optical illusion is ruined, so save this genius idea for days when you have door-to-door transportation!

Slip on a long, chunky necklace.

• Not only are these statement necklaces totally trendy, but the elongated U shape will make your torso seem extra long and lean. Make yours stand out even more by wearing over a light-color top.

Get yourself a wrap dress.

• The one dress that flatters all body shapes, and a classic silhouette. They’re usually constructed with darts at the bust, curve-enhancing seams and cinch in at or just above the waist.

Hello ladies, sorry for the delay on posting on VOF! Have been a bit busy and 2010 is going GREAT! Now back to this weeks bridal fashion which can only be offered by the bridal designs of CD!

Stunning and classic gown, for those ladies that want to resemble a flower on their special day! This is what true couture is about in the fashion world!

I think this gown is also perfect for a Quinseñera, it doesn’t seem to have a train and it has that fairy tale look to it! Any comments ladies?

Hey ladies, we are starting a new decade and as your bridal consultant/fashion consultant. Here is what is out in bridal fashion: No more identical bridesmaid dresses, they’re your sisters, best friends, future in-laws—not twins!

Add some dimension to the overall bridesmaids look: let them choose different styles all in the same color, or the same style in different colors!

The newest trend in bridal fashion is the wedding party all in white!

Did you know? In ancient Roman times, the bridesmaids dressed in the same color as the bride to confuse evil spirits whose intent was to harm her. Now this “upscale estate” style looks incredibly elegant in photos.

Ladies, did you found this interesting? Please let your comments and stay tune for more!

Be different, be you, add a splash of color on your wedding gown. Wait! its a floral motif, not just color splash! If you are having a summer garden wedding this gown is perfect, its part of Atlier Aimee bridal designs.

Did you know? After a French wedding reception, and even later into the couple’s wedding night, friends of the newlyweds might show up outside their window banging pots and pans, singing boisterous tunes. The groom is expected to invite them in for drinks and snacks.

Think about it. What is the first thing people notice about you? It’s your face. Healthy skin is the most important element of a great looking face. It is not only easy to achieve; proper skin care is essential for the present and the future.

As we age, our skin loses its elastic nature. Thus, we develop wrinkles and facial lines. For these reasons alone, proper skin care is important.

You don`t have to be a metrosexual to care about your skin! Sticking to a simple-but-effective skincare routine will keep you looking your best and boost your self-confidence.

So, if you’re serious about your youthful glowing skin appearance, follow these simple beauty tip.

• A daily face cleaning foam.
• Exfoliating scrub a twice-a-week.
• Everyday moisturizer with SPF 15.
• Eye cream for kicking out dark circles and fighting fine lines.

There is a lot of men skincare out there, but I recommend Tolsom, a high performance skin care for men! My boyfriend saw results within days and his skin looks great, now he can’t go a day without it!

As a bridal consultant I came across many women who dreamed about looking like Cinderella on their wedding day. If you are looking for a Cinderella gown this one is stunning, and the gloves give it a lady like effect!

Did you know: In Venezuela, family is very important and the groom is expected to ask the permission of his prospective father-in-law before proposing.
