Lets face it: Beyonce's nails are looking plenty flyy as of lately. We've noticed her killing the sick patterns and flawless metallic looks from magazine covers to the "Single Ladies" video. And Beyonce's not the only one. Rihanna,Keri Hilson,Mariah Carey and Eve have all been seen rocking similar nails. Declaring which celeb started this trend will just result in a catfight, so we won't even go there. Let's get right to the important stuff: What are they and how do we get them?

Minx is a flexible film that is applied through heat and pressure. It's not a polish so it won't smudge or chip. It's eco-friendly, so no funky fumes or drying time. And, oh yeah, it looks completely fresh and fly. Your mani will last up to two weeks and you can rock your pedi even longer than that.

Designer Knockoff Handbags

A designer knockoff bag can have its advantages and dis advantages.Many women crave to have an authentic designer bag instead of a designer knockoff.Others also prefer to buy a designer knockoff handbag due to the high cost of the authentic ones. For those who wish to buy the authentic ones,you can definitely expect to pay an substantial amount more,than when buying a designer knockoff. A woman's handbag is essential to carry the necessary things that she needs on a daily basis. There are some things that you need to remember when you are out to buy a handbag from stores that are not certified or franchisees of the product that you wish to buy.

Craftsmanship

The craftsmanship of the bag you wish to purchase can be a sure sign whether it is a designer knockoff handbag or an authentic one. Authentic designer bags almost always have impeccable craftsmanship. The quality of work that goes into the authentic product is not the same as the quality of work that goes into a designer knockoff handbag. The manufacturers of the fake handbags are not as meticulous regarding the way that their employees do the stitching of the product and they do not mind having a misplaced stitch or a missed stitch. Other things that can be contributed to the lack of craftsmanship in a designer knockoff handbag are the way that the tags are made.Tags from designer knockoff handbags are not as well written as those from the authentic ones,and most of them do not contain the right information such as correct spelling and they can have incorrect serial numbers.

Most designers have implemented designs onto their tags that makes copying them more difficult. Holograms and watermarks are just some of the few things that manufacturers of brand name handbags have resorted to in order to protect their name and their products.

Design and Color

Some of the knockoff bags have different colors and designs from the original bags. Some manufacturers of the knockoffs do not have access to quality colors,dyes and materials to make the bags look more authentic.Therefore,they use low quality materials and dyes to come close to the colors that the originals are made of. Other manufacturers of the the knockoffs have a difficult time achieving the right design due to financial constraints,so they take short cuts making the product cheaper but not as accurate.

Real good designer replica handbags are made with real cowhide leather and brass hardware just like the real designer bags are made with.They have the correct markings just like the desogner handbags.The stitching is the same and they have correct placement of the designer logo.

Make sure that you are aware of the design and peculiarities of the handbags that you wish to buy as knockoffs, to ensure that you get a high quality replica. That not even the designer will be able to tell the difference. My theory is as long as you are fashion forward that's all that matters.

Metro Sex Mania

                               






"METROSEXUAL" 

If you haven't already seen this word plastered half to death in your local newspaper or in your favorite men's magazine, believe you will soon. The media are literally tripping over themselves these days to present the definitive view of this new global men's movement- even though they don't quite understand what that movement is or where it comes from. But I must say they have a buzzword.

The media loves buzzwords. Buzzwords sound important and command attention. Of course they're essentially meaningless,but they're great hooks to hang a story on. "Metro sexual" is a truly outstanding buzzword. It sounds deviant, the sort of thing that makes people gasp when someone says it,explosive- like right into the middle of a polite conversation. It smacks a subversive culture,perhaps even of fetishes and bum paddles and leather masks with zippers over the mouth. Quentin Taratino is probably making a film about it right now. To be truthful,"Metrosexual" describes individuals who I am pretty sure you're already familiar with.

New York Times says he's a straight urban male who's willing even eager,to embrace his feminine side. He's not afraid to be complimented on his clothing or mistaken for being gay. He stocks his medicine cabinet with prestigious grooming products,maintains an impressive up to date wardrobe, and visits chic salons for a variety of men's esthetic services that include hairstyling,facials,manicures and of course body hair removal. If you're like me,it's mildly offensive  to think we have to invent a new gender to explain why today's man concerns himself with such things. People have speculated that money and sex make the metrosexual. I find that very strange. I doubt anyone will know for sure why today's male chooses moisturizer over say sand blasting equipment.

In an era when so much around us is going wrong, perhaps its the small affordable luxuries that keep us sane. If these include a $50 haircut,custom tailored clothing,or peppermint shampoo with wheat protein and a massage so what!! These things don't define who you are as a man. But they do tell you what you can afford. I find it quite sexy to see a well kept,clean cut,good smelling man wearing some fabulous shoes. Can you say "Smoking". Men if the traditional male role is to provide,then choose to provide for yourself as well as your family "Hello"!

Purple Hue

Purple is the new black. Well not quite. I mean, will anything ever be the new black? But purple is this seasons welcome addition to our beloved black. What I'm finding is that for women who wear black alot, and they're not a big color type of person, purple is becoming a wonderful addition to their wardrobe. It can bounce off of black, be used, as a layering piece. You can't walk a city block without spotting a purple dress or sweater in a store window. But if new duds aren't in your budget right now. I would suggest adding some "newness" to your closet by picking up some purple accessories, which can be found at cheaper prices. Go to the accessories department and pick up purple:a shawl,a handbag, a pair of shoes,necklace,beautiful-colored purple stone jewelry. You can't go wrong with any shade, whether it's aubergine,violet or plum.

Plums, violets and other shades of the color purple have invaded makeup counters in a huge way also. This trend is to be used as an accent color. Not lips and eyes. So pick a focus point. If you're putting on a black dress and want to accent with dark purple lips, then stick with neutral colors for the eyes, and vice versa. Stay away from using to many different colors at once

The Butt Crack is the New Cleavage

Have you ever walked down the street and thought to yourself "WoW", I've seen alot of butt crack today". If not then keep an eye out for the moon when you are out and about. More and more girls are busting out the plumbers crack to show off their thin waist(for some thick waist)lines and sexy thongs. I think for some girls they let their butt crack show on purpose! What do you think? Is this a sexy sneak peek or a nasty no-no?

Hot Red Lips

I believe for women there are several essential items. The perfect pair of heels, a sexy black dress and the perfect red lipstick. When women wear red it makes us feel more sensual,energetic, sexy and more bolder. I've always wanted to wear red lipstick, but somehow I have never been able to pull it off(at least not to my satisfaction).If you think you still can't wear red lipsticks,then you are WRONG! Because,there are many different types of red "tone" for your skin.(I'm still searching for the best red for myself). And, if you find that perfect red lipstick it will look great on you too!

What you need to know about Leggings

Are you also a fan of leggings?I know I am. Leggings are a fashion trend which is constantly going in and out of style. Leggings are beneficial,not only can you wear them in the winter to keep you warm,but they are also cool enough to wear in the summer. Leggings can be worn with long shirts,shirt dresses,miniskirts or with shorts. Leggings are a very attractive trend when you wear it correctly.

In contemporary usage,leggings refers to tight,form fitting trousers that extend from the waist to the ankles; they are sometimes referred to as tights(although the word tights is often used to refer to opaque panty hose). Modern leggings are typically made from a blend of lycra, and either nylon,cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. However, leggings can also be made from wool,silk and various synthetic fabrics as well. Leggings made from cotton-lycra or a cotton-polyester lycra combination, are more typically worn for fashion,but are also common as fitness wear as well. Although cotton lycra leggings can come in many colors black,navy and various shades of gray remain the most commonly worn.

Leggings may also come in a variety of colorful prints and designs. Leggings are typically ankle length; they are also stirrupped and also footed. Wearing black leggings under long skirts was apart of the general fashion trend of wearing gym or dance clothes as street wear that evolved  along with the fitness craze and under the influence of the movie Flashdance and the TV show Fame. The new trend more recently pairs black leggings  with short skirts. By the mid 1990s, leggings were actually outselling jeans.

In 2004 leggings began to make a "comeback" into the world of high fashion by pairing capri length leggings with skirts, this resurgence continued  into 2005. PVC black leggings is the hottest new fashion trend. You have seen them worn on all the hottest celebs like Victoria Beckham,Rihanna,Lindsay Lohan etc. The super sexy PVC leggings looks amazing whether wearing ballet flats,peek a boo style shoes or riding boots.

There are three types of Leggings:

- Knee Length
- Mid Calf
- Ankle length

How to wear Leggings

- Dress or tunic style... You'll want a dress that doesn't cling and show through the detail of the leggings underneath. Thicker jersey knits,spandex knit blends and mesh work best. Fancier silk sack dresses will also work paired with heels. Aline  patterned styles with empire cuts and front knots work particularly well because they're forgiving on the hip,tummy and thigh area. Straighter shift styles work well for those with apple and rectangular body types.

- Dress ot tunic length..If you have slim thighs,wear your dress/tunic as short as mid thigh length and no shorter.If you're leg shy or carry a little extra on your thighs,wear your dress around the knee(either just above,on or just below).Do not wear leggings without wearing an extra short top,or as a sustitute for pants.

- Legging length..I just explained to you the types of lengths. My favorite is ankle length. If you have bigger calf muscles,it is better to wear knee length leggings,so that it won't show your muscle! Wearing them ankle length looks best paired with a high heel.

- Leggings types..There are plenty of options to choose from. I prefer darker colors,like black since it will  match with most outfits. However,jean type leggings are also in the trend now! And as you can see the PVC or metallic colors are also a good pair for a night out clubbing.

- Shoe options...The look works with both flats and heels! If you are short,its best to choose high heels with your leggings. However, ballet flats,wedges,sandals,flip flops also look really good with leggings!
