The Legend of Chanel Style Jacket

Friday, October 29th, 2010

No one would ever doubt that Coco Chanel is and will always be one of the most iconic designers in the fashion world ever. And Christian Dior is also regarded as one of the most important influencers in the field of fashion of ladies in the 20th century. Her influence has never stopped or faded as time goes by. And today many Chanel inspired pieces of clothing come back into fashion year after year and give people delightful surprises.
 
One of the most iconic designs by Coco Chanel is the Chanel style jacket, similar to the many jackets designed by her. It features the box-shaped and collarless jacket style. Coco Chanel got the inspiration from a cardigan sweater in the 1930s, but yet, even till now the Chanel style jacket is still hugely popular. A Chanel style jacket is often made of nubby fabrics like the signature tweed often used and typically features contrasting trim and patch pockets. The Chanel style of jacket works particularly well for slim and average size figure and can also be flattering for women with long waists and small chests.
 
Since its original conception by the House if Chanel the jacket has also evolved into lots of new versions of new styles. Surprisingly, it is now even possible to buy Chanel jacket inspired cardigans with a round neck and design which looks like edging. You can also get the same look but with a longer line instead of the traditional boxy jacket. Trims vary from grosgrain ribbon to lace and net.
 
Meanwhile, the original Chanel jacket was usually worn with a suit, while these days they are seen with a smart skirt or down with a pair of jeans. You will also find them in all sorts of different colours from pastel shades to monotone. All these innovations have actually given new life to this classic design.
 
Coco Chanel was particularly known for introducing comfortable and more casual clothes which were a definite contrast to the corsets worn by most in the thirties and particularly the styles of Christian Dior which emphasised the feminine figure. The loose fitting box style jackets and suits that Chanel designed were comparatively masculine. Chanel herself wore mannish clothes and all of her designs were adapted from these styles which she found so liberating. Isn’t it funny how times change as a Chanel style suit is now considered quite ladylike in comparison to the jeans worn by many. Coco Chanel was pioneering in her use of jersey in ladies fashion, a fabric which dominates the catwalks at the moment.
 

Eight ways to become a chic guy in the west

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

Double layer
 
Very basically put, the principle of double layer and mix-match is the same. Whether it’s a skirt or a singlet, you should not be afraid of putting on any grament. And you should dress them wisely based on your own imagination. Always remember, neutral element is an indispensible condiment for fashion.
 
Funny neck decors
 
A funny bow tie may be a wise choice for neck decors. It will bring back the memory of one’s childhood. And, what is more, this will be very vogue.
 
Longer tops
 
Longer tops certainly smashed up people’s traditional concept of dressing. If you persist in this corny opinion, you are really old fashioned.
 
Shock shorts
 
Who says having mini shorts is a patent of women? Stylish gentlemen can uncover their thighs too. Shock shorts and colorful stockings will add a capable and experienced image to these gentlemen.
 
Roll up the bottom of your trouser legs
 
It is chic and degage of you to make jeans or any pants become ankle length trousers. This slight change shows your pursuit of details and innovation. However, at the same time, these nine minute trousers or seven minute pants will definitely challenge your eye for picking out a pair of shoes.
 
Klein Blue
 
Blue is the color of sky and ocean. This purity color stands for no limit. Klein Blue is the best example. It is an unalloyed relief to wear garment with Klein Blue. Meanwhile, your heart will feel baptized. However, this color is not easy to wear. You should be really careful with it.
 
Stripes
 
A sailor’s striped shirt is one of the hottest items right now. There are numerous types of styles, designs, shapes and colors of stripes. You will never get bored by their constant changes. Nevertheless, to govern with the stripes is absolutely an art.
 
Sheer materials
 
Sheer material is often connected with cosiness. More and more sheer materials have been produced to make clothes. Semipermeable grenadine, hollowed-out lace, tight knitting, those are all very good stuff. One problem is, you had better exercise regularly to stay in shape.

Beauty That Lasts A Lifetime

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

What is on your mind when you are reading the poem When You Are Old by William Butler Yeats? If you happen to be a lady, you must have much deeper feeling towards these lines:

 
“How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true, but one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face.”
 
To some degree, I believe the idea that men and women come from different species. Most women are born with the zeal for beauty. Although not many of them will be like the Queen who keeps asking the mirror all the time who is the most beautiful woman in the world, still, the majority of them do dream about being as pretty as the princesses in the fairy tales, who have never failed to win the love of the perfect princes and the endings, which are monotonously alike – living together happily ever after. Every young girl will go through a process of the graduate disillusion, when they get to know that these are merely fairy tales, but not what true life will be like. After going a long long way, girls start to doubt some of their former beliefs, which seemed so solid and true.
 
Personally, I thought about the question why the fairy tales all stop at the marriages of the hero and the heroine. And then I got my own answer to this and that is, because the authors do not dare to write on. They just let us see how happy they are to be together but do not give a clue to how things will go during all the years to come, living together. The ever rising divorce rate now seems to tell us some truth.
 
Time is a thing usually held in awe by people, because nearly nothing in this world can withstand the test of time, youth, beauty, life, relationships or feelings. Compared with men, women are more scared of time, because of the sense of insecurity when their beauty gradually fades as time goes by. They may also sense the leaving of the love of the man they have been with for such a long time. While I love Martin Buxbaum’s view on beauty. He said, “Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty — they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.”
 
I believe wise women do not struggle for the stay of youth, but just wave goodbye to it when it’s time, with peaceful and beautiful smiles on their faces. Maybe the harder you try to drag it back, the faster you will lose other things. It’s useless to get mad at time or yourself or anybody else, while the only thing you can do is take it easy. And what we’ll see is a peaceful and elegant lady who seems to have got the kind of beauty and grace that lasts a lifetime.

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

When it comes to wedding, there are lots of work to do and all couples want to make every step perfect. Vows, rings, wedding dresses, they make hundreds of comparisons, trying to pick out the best of the best. It may be easy to choose vows and rings, but it is never easy for brides to choose a wedding dress, which obviously, for once in her life, will double her unique beauty and help her print the best day of her life into everyone’s mind including her own. So how to choose a beautiful wedding dress that is acceptable both psychologically and physically? Well, this article might try to give some descriptions about different wedding dresses and suggestions on how to choose a suitable one according to your own body shape.

1. A-line Princess Dress

This dress features layers of gauze and a puff skirt, making the bride much more vivacious without losing her feminine cuteness. It is suitable for many kinds of bodily forms, especially the petite builds. For those brides who are short and attractively thin, choosing high-waist designs will slenderize their bicrural figures. For those who have plump breasts, V-necks or deeper necklines can help to make their necks longer and slimmer.

2. Traditional Ball Gown

Accurate fitness to the upper part of the body, tightening waist and a full dress are features of this kind. The belt course could be just at the waist or a little bit lower, or even lower to the hip. This wedding dress is usually equipped with a petticoat which is used to finalize the design. To wear this kind of dress, brides should be hourglass-shaped in builds or physically plump, or those with plump breasts. It will be better-looking if choosing the long-sleeve style or a V-shaped belt course.

3. Sheath

The dress is intentionally cut to fit the bride’s figure. It is well-designed for ladies whose figures are in a fair proportion. Moreover, it aims at demonstraiting the female curves and the beauty of conciseness. No matter when and where, it is both stylish and acceptable on all wedding occasions. Brides with beautiful builds and curves should really try on this.

4. Mermaid Trumpet

The only difference between mermaid trumpet and sheath lies in the bottom of the dress. Cloth below the knees or shanks is made like a fish tail, spreading outside like an "A". It is the sexiest design ever, and the most stunning creation. But it demands a lot on the figure. In other words, to wear this dress or not, the female curves have the final say, not the stature.

5. Empire Waist

A high belt course is the most remarkable feature of this dress. Fitness in the breasts would fully reveal the curves of shoulders and breasts. A-shaped bottom of the dress helps cover the waist and the hip. This design is generally welcomed by short brides with plump waists and hips, or those mothers-to-be who just want to have loosen dresses.

6. Train

As the name suggests, the bottom of this wedding dress must be dragging on the floor just like a long train. The train should be measured from the place where the cloth first touches the ground. A train within 40cm are small, during 40cm to 80cm is mediate, over 80cm is large. Train style is usually adopted in church wedding, where the wedding goes more traditionally, formally and sacredly.

7. Mini Skirt

The dress should be above the knees. It could be a tight mini skirt or a broom one. For ladies who have slender legs and for brides who are following the fashion tide, it is always the first choice.

8. Knee-length

The cloth extends just over the knees, which is quite simple and convenient. Suitable for long-legged brides and party wedding.

9. Tea-length

The bottom of the dress extends to the middle of the shanks, which is usually seen during the mini tea party. It is the right choice for petite females and always the suitable wearing when interacting with others in a wedding party.

10. Ankle-length

This is a long dress style and the bottom extends to the ankles. Yet the edge is an inch above the ground. The bottom is either tight on skin or shaped like an "A" with a little hem. Because the design makes walking more comfortable, it is quite suitable for brides to wear during an outdoor wedding. And don’t forget to put on those exquisite wedding shoes, they will help attract more attentions for their owners!

11. Hi-Lo

The most special feature of the kind is the length of the dress bottom. High from the front, and low from the behind. Specifically speaking, it allows the wearer to show her feet, even her knees from the front, and drag the train behind. This dress is suitable for long-legged brides and fashionable ones.

The Predestined Love of Cell Phone

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Last winter, when I was busy preparing my examinations, my cell phone brought me a predestined love. If love is a fate, I thank fate.

I used to study in the classroom 336 at back row in the left corner of the classroom. I studied like a horse and did not pay heed to the guy who sat just at my right hand all the time until one day…

It was a snowy day. When I entered into the classroom, he was already in. He gazed into my face with his shining eyes and there was an intangible smile floating on his handsome face. I sat down with my eyes dropped. We shared the same conjoined desk piling our books and stuffs dispersedly on the desk. I put my cell phone on the desk optionally and buried myself in the book sea. After three hours study in the evening, my mind was spinning. What I was dying for is to have a deep breath of the fresh air outside the classroom. I dug out my cell phone from the book sea in a hurry and dashed out of the classroom. He was still fighting bravely in the book sea.

When I was in my dorm, there was a strange cell phone ringer singing. My dorm-mates and I gazed at each other in a speechless despair and did not know where the awful sound from. Suddenly, I realized that the funny noise was from my bag, I rummaged my bag and found “my” cell phone, it was singing merrily at that moment. I answered it, a bashful sound came into my ear: “Excuse me, sorry to bother you, but I am afraid we had taken our cell phones by mistake.” When I heard of this, I stared at the cell phone in my hand and became speechless. The next day, I corrected my stupid mistake and we had dinner together for the first time. Then, after our exams, we began to date.

When I recalled the past, I was a little confused. Why I can take the cell phone by mistake? He told me that when he found I was using this kind of cell phone, he brought the same one. When he said this to me, I found a complacent and mysterious smile blooming on his face…

Tips for Picking a Pair of High-heeled Shoes

Friday, August 27th, 2010

High-heeled shoes are very important to girls because the shoes add beauty to them in many occasions. So many girls want to buy themselves a pair of good high heels. What should we pay attention to when we are buying shoes?

Before you buy the shoes, you should go to different shops to see more shoes. You must avoid buying them when you see them at the first sight. Because there are many new styles every year, you’d better go to more shops to have a look at the styles so as to buy the best style with the same amount of money.

Secondly, you should pay attention to the size of the high heels. If you wear a pair of shoes which don’t fit you, they may give you blisters or callus on the ankles. These foot problems may cause a lot of pain and you may give up wearing high-heeled shoes in the end. A pair of shoes which are too tight for you to wear will hurt your feet and cause pain. Moreover, your feet will have the problem of irritation or changing shape. On the contrary, if the shoes are too loose, your ankle may be very tired. Some people believe that the smaller their feet are, the more beautiful they look, so they often choose to buy a pair of shoes which are smaller than their feet. Actually, for the same heels, the bigger the size is, the more comfortable they will feel.

The next problem is about the uppers of shoes. In most cases, buying a pair of high heels whose uppers are made of genuine leather or cloth is a good choice because those materials absorb sweat. Synthetic leather cannot release the moisture soon so that it may cause sweaty feet or rash.

The soles of the high heels cannot be neglected. You must choose the high heels whose bottoms have the liners in order to help you not to slide easily.

Buying a pair of high-heeled shoes which fit you and match you is not a simple matter. If you pay more attention to it, you are sure to pick a pair of high heels that you like very much.
