The summer weather is what most people long for and represents the end of the torturous winter cold. However, while summer may present days filled with fun and water, the nights might be torturous for those who do not have proper bedding. The summer heat makes the nights uncomfortable, and there is need to make arrangements that will ensure comfort. In many cases, people choose to invest in air conditioners, fans and large open windows but none of these may provide the kind of comfort that good bedding provides. As the seasons change, it is important to change bed sheets to suit the changing weather conditions. Silk sheets not only ensure a comfortable and cool night; they also provide a luxurious feel to the bed. Silk sheets ensure that one gets a comfortable night’s sleep even on those very hot summer nights.

The lightweight nature of silk makes silk sheets appropriate for summer nights. With the summer heat, it is not necessary to have heavy weight blankets in bed. The very light silk bed sheets are adequate to keep the body cool ensuring a comfortable night’s sleep. Silk sheets are also extremely soft, offering a lavish feel to the skin.

Silk bed sheets offer thermal a balance ensuring that one is neither too hot nor too cold. It is common to find people having problems with their bed sheets because they are too warm. When one tries to use lesser sheets, it gets too cold resulting in uncomfortable summer nights. However, silk bed sheets adapt to the temperatures to offer a perfect balance. During the hot summer nights, silk bed sheets will keep the body cool avoiding the very uncomfortable night sweats. It is also important to note the breathability characteristic of silk. With the free flow of air in silk sheets, one is always assured of a comfortable night’s sleep. In addition, silk bed sheets keep the body dry in case of sweating. Some materials such as cotton absorb moisture but end up feeling damp making them uncomfortable for summer. However, with the lightweight nature of silk, the dampness dries up fast making them not only comfortable but dry at all times.

Silk is the smoothest material for bed sheets. This is an important characteristic as it ensures there is no itch associated with silk bedding. When using silk bed sheets, one is guaranteed to have a good night’s sleep as the bed sheets are soft and smooth to the skin. People who have sensitive skin should particularly use silk sheets as they do not scratch or irritate the skin in any way. Unlike other materials that absorb body and hair oils, silk bed sheets will keep the body and hair oiled. Many people complain of waking up with dry skin as their bedding absorb all the oil they had applied on their body or hair. However, with silk bed sheets, one will wake up with well moisturized skin and clean bed sheets.

Silk is a natural fiber that is highly resistant to allergens. The heat during summer nights may result in allergic reactions between the body and bedding. It is therefore important to use proper bedding that will not create an allergic reaction to the skin. Skin is perfect for this as it does not irritate the skin. In addition, when it comes into contact with sweat, there are no allergic reactions. The amino acids contained in silk are important in keeping the skin healthy. This makes silk a perfect choice for comfortable sleep during the summer.

There are numerous types of bed sheets available in the market. Bed sheets also come in a range of fibers that people choose depending on their taste. However, none of these fabrics is as smooth as silk. In addition, none of the other fabrics offers a thermal balance between hot and cold. To ensure a comfortable sleep during the summer, silk bed sheets are the best choice. They are breathable and keep the skin dry at all times.

Moreover, silk sheets do not irritate the skin and are therefore perfect for people with sensitive skin. As the weather gets hotter, silk sheets will ensure that the body remains cool all through the night, ensuring a comfortable and restful night’s sleep.

Accessories are always a great way to complete an outfit. Whether you're wearing something simple or over the top, it's always best to finish it off with a hint of sparkle. I personally love jewelries, in fact I collect them. From modern to vintage you name it.

Recently I discovered Amber Sceats jewelries and it's amazing. She has a lot of unique pieces ranging from metals to stones. Her style is very distinct with rock element always incorporated in. With her contemporary yet timeless pieces, surely there's something for everyone.

So if you're looking for something unique to wear, make sure you check her out. I'm already in love with her pieces and I might get one for myself.

If you're looking at wearing something similar you can opt for this dress by Issa or Derek Lam.

If there is one model that does menswear like a second skin, it's definitely Stella Tennant. You may recognise her from numerous ad campaigns like Chanel, H&M, Zara including the recent Dior Spring Summer 2014 ad and I must say she is definitely a style icon in her own right.

Perhaps it's her unconventional look; the feather like hair, pale skin and skinny physique that even in the age of 43 she is still bringing her game on and does a stellar job at it. Her style is easily distinguished and you'd notice her wearing a black blazer and trousers on several occasions. But even with that, she also adds in a pop of colour here and there and isn't afraid to wear a dress or a skirt every once in a while. Not a lot of heels for sure, instead she wears either a pair of chunky buckled boots or an open toe sandals.

Is it only me or did you also noticed how Felicity Jones perfectly mastered that radiant fresh out of bed look? Okey, perhaps radiant doesn't immediately comes to mind when you say fresh out of bed but as we all know, a well rested skin gives off that glowing complexion.

But what makes Felicity Jones so different that she practically make this look so simple? Aside from the obvious, I blame it on her skinny cheek bones, the barely there makeup and of course her fine brownish black hair with a that signature bangs. Yes, the bangs! It's what's making her look so different and ethereal compared to those we've seen a million times.

She just knows how to make it look so effortless and it's something that works for her. But if you're like me who wants to achieve the same look, I suggest you use these products.

Online shopping is quickly becoming the go-to source for clothing and accessories, and prescription eyeglass retailers are catching on to the trend as well. Anyone who has worn glasses knows that finding the right pair can be tricky, even when you are shopping in person, but when you are armed with the right information you can discover the perfect pair that is just right for your face shape, vision needs, and personal style. The following tips can ensure that ordering eyeglasses online is a breeze.

See Your Eye Doctor 

Before you begin shopping, it is a good idea to schedule an appointment with your eye doctor. While there are many low-cost frame options these days, but purchasing a new pair of glasses is not cheap. If you have the correct prescription for your vision needs, you won’t need to replace your pair as frequently.

Know Your Metrics 

Reading and understanding the prescription that you receive from your doctor is essential if you want to purchase eyeglasses online. Without the correct measurements, you may end up with glasses that don’t fit your face or your eyes. Look at your prescription for “PD” to find out your pupilary distance, as that measurement is the distance between the pupils of your eyes and can affect how well you can see through your glasses. Other information from your prescription that you may need to enter into an online order form includes:

OD: Your right eye, or “oculus dexter.”
OS: Your left eye, or “oculus sinister.”
DV: Short for “distance vision,” and is used if you need multi-focal lenses.
NV: Short for “near vision,” and is also used for multi-focal lenses.

With the right information in hand, you will be more likely to order glasses that will help correct your vision.

Know Your Frame Size  

Frames come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, and some may look better on your face than others. If you already have glasses you can measure then in millimeters to get an idea of what size of frame will look best on you. If this will be your first pair of glasses, it may be worthwhile to stop in to an optician’s office to try on a few frames and write down their measurements. Because there are so many options online, sorting through endless pairs of glasses can take a lot of time. If you have a size range that you know will fit, you can narrow down your search.

Know Your Style 

No one knows your personal style better than you do, so while it may be tempting to pick the most popular or trendy frames, you will probably be better off choosing a pair that you will feel comfortable wearing daily. Many websites allow users to search based on style, color, or shape in order to limit the amount of glasses that are shown at a time. Searching for a specific style can help you look at only the frames that you are interested in purchasing.

Thanks to the boom in online shopping, you don’t have to drive to your local optician for a new pair of glasses. Ordering eyeglasses online gives you the selection that you need with the convenience of shopping from home.

No matter where you’ll be wearing your tea length dress or what you’ll be wearing it with, you’re bound to look just as great as you feel.
