How to Wear High Heels like a Pro
By Jessica on April 10 2008 at 10:15 AM
Let’s face it, ladies – we know the secret to a fabulous outfit is a killer pair of heels to go with it. But what if you aren’t exactly a master when it comes to strutting your stuff in stilettos?
Have no fear; I’ve got a foolproof guide to wearing high heels like a pro. The following tips are designed to help you look fabulous in those 4-inch heels sitting in the back of your closet – and you don’t have to worry about tripping over yourself!
Comfort Counts
If the shoe doesn’t fit… don’t wear it! Comfortable heels are key, regardless of the height of the heel. If you feel like a tottering, shuffling mess in 4-inch stilettos, try a different height.
In order to truly see if the shoe works, try them on and walk around the store a few times. How do they feel? Can you walk in them? Do you feel unbalanced?
If you aren’t 100% comfortable in your new shoes, don’t buy them!
Practice Makes Perfect
The old saying is true, ladies – the more you practice something, the better you’ll get.
Prance around the house in your high heels whenever you have a few spare minutes. You might feel like a complete idiot, but trust me, you’ll be thanking yourself later on. Not only will you learn how to walk, you’ll break the shoes in – that means less discomfort for you when you have to wear them to your next big event.
You Can Wear Tights!

How can you pull off wearing tights? Well, the answer is surprisingly simple.
Even if you’ve never bought into the hosiery trend before, now could be the perfect time to start. Not only will you get that extra layer of warmth; you’ll look super stylish and chic if you wear them the right way.
First of all, what kind of shoes do you wear? Honestly ladies, bust out those chunky heels and get to steppin’! You virtually can’t go wrong with pairing hosiery with that type of shoe.
You can also jazz things up a bit by donning gray or black woolen tights underneath ankle or knee-length boots. You’ll look cute and cozy!
Also, don’t fret about matching your hosiery to your shoes. In this day and age, that old-time fashion rule doesn’t even apply anymore. You can even wear black hosiery with brown shoes, and vice versa!
Tights are your time to be creative, so have fun with different textures, colors and patterns to create a look that’s totally you. You can even wear opaque black tights with an elegant or fun cocktail dress, if the weather calls for it. Believe it or not, you CAN pull that look off! Whatever you do, though, don’t pair tights with lightweight clothing. You’ll look like a fashion don’t rather than an oh-so-stylish fashion do.
If you’ve always wanted to sport the hosiery look, now’s your chance to get creative and have fun with it. Don’t be shy, ladies – rock the look!
How to Create a Sexier Wardrobe

Tired of donning your office attire out to parties or get-togethers? Could your wardrobe use a bit of a makeover to incorporate sexier pieces?
If so, keep reading - this guide is for you, ladies!
If you’ve always been scared of wearing “sexy” clothing, take heart - you don’t have to look like a skank to be sexy. Far from it! With a few simple pieces, you can jazz up your normal look (and stop wearing office suits to dinner parties…!)
First and foremost, do you have a pair of sexy jeans? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s time to go shopping!
Every woman should own at least one quintessential pair of jeans that she absolutely adores. You know, the denim that hugs your curves in all the right places and makes you feel like the sultry vixen you know you are. With the right pair of jeans, you can throw them on for any occasion and feel absolutely stunning. Trust me, try it - it’s true!
Like your sexy jeans, you should also have a pair of stunning shoes at your disposal. Sexy heels are a must for parties, a night on the town, or anytime you want to spice up your look a bit. The right pair of heels will be your go-to shoe for any occasion where bland, boring clothes just won’t do.
If you’re used to wearing boring suits, crisp, collared blouses and demure tops, it’s time to invest in something a little sexier.
How to Look Thinner with Fashion

Knowing how to make fashion work for you can create the illusion of a thinner silhouette. I’m going to show you how with a few easy tips.
First and foremost, avoid bright and busy all-over patterns. We should all know that solid colors automatically look slimming. Seriously, if you want to downplay your thighs or but, look for a solid color dress or pants to shave off five pounds.
If you want to create the look of a lean silhouette, avoid crop jackets, midriff tops or anything that doesn’t fall to at least your waist. Longer pieces will look fantastic AND slimming.
If you want to create the look of cleavage, a shirred bodice can create the illusion of a fuller bust. A wrap dress or a deep v-neck tee can also work wonders for those of us who are a little less well-endowed. (This trick also works for people who already have cleavage and want to show it off. If you’ve got it, flaunt it girl!)
We all know that black has an automatic slimming effect. If you want to downplay a particular asset (big hips, a wide butt), try a black skirt with opaque black hosiery. You’ll look trim and fit AND fabulous, of course!
Cool Hair Product Site Number 2
By Jessica on January 31 2008 at 03:54 PM
As I mentioned in my previous post, I found two cool sites in my search for hair products, and I’m here to tell you about the second one. They carry some top brands at discount prices including Tigi, Nioxin Redken, Phyto Organics, and many more. They back up their sales with a forty five day full refund policy on all unopened items, and they usually ship within twenty four hours!
They have specific black hair products to baby your black hair with all the best vitamins and treatments for all black hair types including relaxed, natural, weaves, dread locks and extensions. My “natural” blonde hair can’t relate.
And before you check out, stop by the gift basket section and have a look at the spa gift baskets. They have it all wrapped up in a gift basket for every occasion. The baskets include award winning quality spa products including body treatments, hair wrap masques, feet muds, chocolate creams, chocolate body treatments, purifying treatments and sea salts and much more.
