Winter Vs. Summer Materials
How do you determine the difference between winter and summer materials?
It used to be you would never see satin or taffeta in the summer or chiffon in the winter. These fabrics are now used year round. Really, the guide lines fall more with color these days. Richer colors simply look more appropriate in the winter. Winter colors seem to be deeper and
What to Wear With Khakis
My question concerns a pair of casual khaki pants. I have a pair that I would love to wear if only I could find the right shoes to go with them. I’m looking for the right color and style to match the pants. Thanks!
khaki pants are a fashion basic just like jeans. The type of shoes you wear with them depends on the formal or casual nature of your tops, not the khakis. If you choose to dress the khakis up with a blouse and blazer, then stylish loafers would work beautifully. If you dress the khakis down with a polo type shirt, you could add a fashionable cuff and
Hiding Grey with Highlights
I have dark brown (almost black) hair and have recently been thinking about getting highlights or dying my hair all together. I have a little bit of red/auburn in it too. What would be a good highlighting color, in addition to the possible auburn, that will help hide the grey hairs that have been coming out more and more?

I have a question regarding skin. Sometimes especially during the winter I get dry patches on my face, what kind of lotion can I use with my make-up?

Best Look For Thin Hair And Square Faces
I have straight, fine hair that falls a few inches below my shoulders and is mostly one length. My face is square and I feel like, with my fine hair my head looks gigantic. What kind of haircut will allow me to keep some length AND make my face look less “full”.
A pronounced square jaw can look beautiful with the right cut and color! You just need to add highlights, lowlights and piece-y layers to create movement. The result will be a high dimension look that will appear much thicker and
Make a Good Impression at the Job Interview
I have a teaching interview coming up next week and wonder what I should wear. It’s still chilly outside, but it’s Spring too! I am a larger woman and hate wearing skirts! My shape is more like a pear, so pants are hard to find and a suit nevers fits the top and bottom! What should I wear? What colors? I have dark hair and fair/medium skin. Thanks!
First of all congratulations on your interview and good luck! If I were you I would wear a great pair of straight leg, flat-front, black trousers with a bright colored, structured jacket and same colored blouse. The technique of wearing the same colored jacket and
Proper Fit for Women’s Shorts
Q: When I go for a walk, my shorts ride up my inner thighs and I have to keep pulling them down. It only happens with some of my shorts. Does this mean that there is something wrong with the way they are cut, or their size?
A: Oh how I hate thigh riding shorts! It is so uncomfortable and embarrassing… not to mention the painful chaffing! The issue can be caused by a few things. You have to be aware of both the cut and fit.
When shopping for shorts, make sure that the cut proves the front panel to be smaller that the back panel. Shorts with a front panel that is equal the size of the back panel often ride
