Fresh Out of Bed Look Ala Felicity Jones



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.

A Guide To Buying Your Eyeglasses Online

A Guide To Buying Your Eyeglasses Online




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.

If your prom has a vintage theme, a shin length dress will look excellent paired with a petticoat, pillbox hat, and short gloves.

This type of dress also has more casual styles made from lighter and free-flowing fabrics that have pleats and pockets on the dress.

Why Women’s Leather Totes Are a Great Option for the Professional Woman

Why Women’s Leather Totes Are a Great Option for the Professional Woman



More and more women today are not only making it in the professional world, but are dominating the professional world. It is important that as they do this, they look good, too. Women’s leather totes are stylish, in addition to providing function and convenience. The following will explain why women everywhere can benefit from having a leather tote as their work bag.

Function 

Today, leather bags are made to be functional. While style is often important to women, it is not the deciding factor every time a woman buys a work tote. Leather totes are often functional as a work bag during the week and an overnight bag for the weekend business trip. They come with many different pockets and compartments that make it easy to store receipts, files, laptops, pens, a cell phone, and so much more. Some totes can be locked if they contain confidential information, and others have clasps that are easy to open for quick access. When a woman is looking for a new leather tote, she should test it out to be sure the handles are functional. She may enjoy an over-the-shoulder strap, or she may prefer to carry the bag in hand. 

Style 

While style is not the only important factor of women’s leather totes, it is still pretty important. With so many styles available, a woman won’t have to settle for something that does not speak to her style and her tastes. Some women may enjoy a very professional, briefcase type tote, and others may want something a little more relaxed and purse-like. Color might be something that is important to some women, and they may decide to match their tote to their other work clothes. They may also pick a color that is completely neutral. Style also plays a role in the amount of pockets one may choose to have in their tote. A woman may desire a lot of fun pockets and clasps, or she may want something more straight and clean. 

Convenience 

Another important aspect to look at when deciding what makes a leather tote a great option for the professional woman is convenience. Women are often known to carry around a lot, and could get burdened by everything if they didn’t have a tote to put it all in. Leather totes are convenient enough to use as a carry-on bag for a plane ride, and can often double as a laptop bag as well. With all of the options available, women can find a bag with just the right design so that they can keep their items organized and easy to access. They are convenient enough to toss into the back of a car, keep close on the train, and take from home to work every day. This allows the working woman to take care of business, no matter where she is at. 

When a woman wants function, style, and convenience in the work place, she can look at the large selection of women’s leather totes that are available on Ghurka.com. Not only can she find something that will allow her to be the most successful at work, but she can look good while she’s doing it.

Wear prints all year around by Camilla Frank


I'm a girl that loves print, from florals to tribals you name it. I just find that wearing print gives the look more depth and character as compared to something more plain and monotonous.  Perhaps you're thinking that wearing print is only ideal for spring or summer but for me, I'd wear it all year round.

That's why I was trilled when I discovered Camilla Frank's designs. I immediately fell in love with her work and craftsmanship. The prints that she use for her designs are so intricate and well detailed that a girl like me couldn't help but just fall in love with it. Not only are her clothes beautifully made but the accessories are equally amazing.

If you enjoy wearing prints like I do, I suggest you check out Camilla's design. I bet you'd love it as much as I do.

Photography Everyday, Everywhere

Photography Everyday, Everywhere




You simply cannot take a walk in the Central park of NY without seeing a team that films a scene for a movie or for a commercial. There is always a New York Commercial Photographer taking pictures of something that has to be sold or just shown to the world for the next week. This goes not only for the Central Park, basically it could happen anywhere. Professional photographers and passionate amateurs capture moments every day, everywhere. The thing is that today it is really easy to transform a moment into a memory by pushing a button. This is why we have so many great photographs, taken in different places at different times.

Photography is way more interesting today than it was 20 years ago. The globalization, the cultural exchanges and the internet made it more colorful. The social networks are full with pictures where friends from different continents hug each other or Japanese people drive German cars and drink American soda. The art of photography shows us that sometimes the whole is greater than the parts, even if the parts are of different colors and types.

Photography has the power to encompass not only tiny fractures of time, but also of space. The whole world is open for us, but it is really hard to see and experience it all, the earth is just too big. So photography basically is the little helper of the one who has an adventurous spirit of a traveler, but has no possibility to actually travel. This guy, I am talking about is far away with a click from the craziest jungle, mountain or skyscraper. Of course you cannot feel it all just by looking at a photograph, but at least you get an idea of how it is to be there.

The interaction between people that are from different parts of the world, made our lives easier and way more fun, just like photography. If you were not present at yesterday’s crazy party, there is always a photo proof of everything crazy that has been done. If you are in Europe and your friends are in Australia, they could simply send you a photograph of what are they up to now so it is easier for you to understand and imagine what is going on. Every day and everywhere professionals, friends and kids take photographs of everything they find interesting, because photography is a part of our life today,  that we simply adore.

Visiting High End Designer Shops Online

Visiting High End Designer Shops Online



There are many consignment shops online when you decide to recycle your gently used designer clothing and accessories. Once exclusively the domain of fashion insiders, the market for previously owned designer wear has grown over the years with many online shops providing a place for safe transactions for fashionistas everywhere. The consignment market makes it possible for you to connect with others who want to buy, sell and trade a variety of designer items from clothing and shoes to jewelry and handbags.

These consignment shops allow anyone to list their items for sale anywhere in the world. Of course, these items must first be approved, so you not only want to make sure they are in good condition but also legitimate designer wear. Once your items have been approved, you can decide whether you want to go with direct sales and handle all the heavy lifting yourself or use a concierge service that helps you with the selling process as well as other necessary tasks.
For instance, high end consignment shops online like walkinmycloset offers both a direct sales option and a concierge service for those who wish to sell there. Many people may choose a direct sales because it takes a smaller commission once a sale goes through. You also have to handle your own processing, shipping and handling. However, the shop will send you prepaid shipping labels and lists your items on the site. If you decide to go with a concierge service, you will pay a higher commission, but you get more services to help you sell your items.
With a concierge service, you send the items you want to sell to the shop. The professionals there will photograph and retouch the photos before listing it on the site. After the item sells, the shop takes care of the handling, shipping and processing. All you have to do is collect your payment. Of course, you also need to look at guidelines and policies for returns, refunds or any other extenuating circumstances in case something goes wrong with the transaction.
You can also look at other high end consignment shops online if you want to exchange your items or find out if you can bid on them in order to get a bargain. Some sites allow members to exchange their designer wear if an agreement can be reached. There are others that work like auction sites and allow you to make an offer to a seller for the items you like. However, this means you have to wait to find out whether your offer is accepted or if you were outbid.
People all over the world now have access to high end consignment shops online. This means you can find fashions that have been advertised around the world from places like New York, London, Paris etc. It also means that you can find clothing and accessories from many familiar designers as well as the fashion insiders who determine each season's looks. You may look for current trends in the fashion world as well as your favorite vintage looks in these kinds of shops.

Look Good For Less

Look Good For Less



Committing to save money takes looking at expenses and cutting costs wherever possible. What was once deemed vital may soon seem trivial when all expenses are tallied up. Sadly, personal care is one of the first things to go. Yet looking good and feeling good are two ingredients that can add to success. Thankfully there are plenty of ways to be well-kempt on a budget. It just takes a little bit of research and ingenuity and fortunately koala paydayloans.com can help to make this possible.
Hair is one of the first things noticed about a person. Whether true or not, how one wears their hair gives people a sense of insight into how easy-going or high-maintenance they may be. It can also show whether a person is comfortable in their own skin or fighting the effects of aging such as hair-loss. Well-groomed hairstyles spell success, no matter what one's bank account looks like. So even though that posh salon may need to be done away with, being on a budget does not mean there's a need to be dowdy.  There are several ways to save money on hairstyles:  Look for salon schools that offer discounted cuts from graduating students. All work will be overseen by a professional but will be done at a significantly lower rate.  Barter with a stylist friend. Many are willing to occasionally work from home in exchange for some service you can provide, be it babysitting, a trip to the airport, what have you.  Pick low-maintenance, classic cuts that grow out well and a colour that won't show roots quickly.  Recommend others! Many stylists offer discounted cuts for clients who bring in more business.  Find coupons online and through mobile apps.  Get a part-time job at a salon as a receptionist, provided free cuts are one of the perks.  Sign up for a rewards card at a hair supply store and colour at home.

Clothes also move down in priority when trying to save money. However, looking good doesn't need to cost a fortune. Thrifting and estate sales are still great ways to find deals. Though fashion mavens may have trouble finding most designer labels for a song because more and more sellers know what they've got and what it's worth. But there are still low-cost, high-quality items to be found—and searching is half the fun! Online stores are a great way to search, too. Though beware any “great deal” that includes an exorbitant shipping rate.  Clothing swaps amongst friends is another pastime that's becoming more popular. Make a party of it and have a fun time whilst shopping for free. It's also wise to give a few friends your size so they can grab any good deal they come upon. Like with hairstyles, go for classic apparel that can withstand the test of time. Also remember the value of properly caring for clothes in order to get the most out of your money. Always follow washing and storing instructions and consider learning basic repairs to help save money.

Consider Quality

Though saving money is the name of the game, there may be times when higher-quality items could save more money in the long-term. For instance, cheap home décor rarely withstands long usage, whereas quality furniture should be guaranteed. Plus trendy pieces grow old quickly, as opposed to timeless selections that can be passed down for generations. When working within a budget, home decorating may be the last thing on your mind—yet on a professional level there could be times when entertaining is necessary for work. Just like with apparel, go for key quality pieces whenever possible and then add inexpensive yet attractive fun pieces to provide a modern touch.  To save money on furniture become an avid thrifter and yard sale shopper. Do a little research to discern personal tastes and then learn how to spot good quality items and what their worth is. Knowledge is power so use it to fill up a lovely flat for less.

Devising and then working within one's budget does not mean completely doing without some of the fine and fun things in life. But it does mean prioritising and then making an effort to seek out better deals. Saving money also requires learning when to say yes or no.
