Pashmina shawls are in! Did you know…using your imagination you can put together a great look with pair with jeans, a top and a wrap…for a stylish look on a date or out with your friends?

Or, wrap one around you to keep warm at the office (many offices are kept far too cold!). Or, surround yourself in a soft cashmere cape that matches your formal dress for those winter occasional get- together’s. Scarves give you such a great look… and you’ll feel great in them!

They bring so much versatility to your wardrobe and bring a sense of refined fashion sense to how you carry yourself. You’ll love wrapping one of these soft, luxurious wraps around your shoulders. Why not keep it together with a shawl pin? Remember, brooches and scarves go together!

What kind of fashion garments do you need to turn your winter wardrobe blues… into winter wardrobe bliss? It’s hard to feel good about your clothing when the temperature drops and you’re stuck wearing the same thing everytime you go out. It really feels like your choices are so limited as soon as snow
appears on the ground.

To make matters worse, you have to dress expecting it to be cold but then when you get into a warm office it gets too hot. Is there some way that you can find a balance, a happy medium that can help you feel warm when you want to be warm and cool down slightly when you need to cool down?
…and all the time feeling fashionable? That sounds like an impossible order. But, is it really possible?

The answer is yes, with their soft type of cashmere that feels and looks luxuriant. A shawl allows you to keep warm when you need to but is easy to carry and stow when you don’t need it. Just roll it up and put it in your office drawer or over your lap if you’re wearing a skirt. Then, when you need to go outside, wrap your inexpensive warming wrap around you and you’re ready to go!

That makes it so versatile, practical, and in style.. You don’t find that combination very often. Of course, they’ve been around since the dawn of time and were used by women in various cultures for both practical and fashionable purposes. That’s no different today.

Also, scarves aren’t just for your shoulders… they also make beautiful, stylish head wraps for women who want to cover their heads. This could be for religious, fashion, or medical (chemotherapy) reasons. There are so many reasons why you should be wearing one of these. Stylish statements come in a variety of sizes, colors, and with or without fringes so you have a wide choice to choose from. Get several pashmina shawls and match them with a variety of outfits to multiply the potential outfits you have in your closet.

Is Shapewear Comfortable?

Is Shapewear Comfortable?
By Nina Pucillo

Is Shapewear comfortable? What a question!! For most of us, shapewear & comfortable are two words that don’t go together. Shapewear is a word that implies discomfort to just about all of us women. To most of us fashion shoppers, it means that we are trying to ’smooth bulges’ or ’squeeze into’ a favorite outfit…

So how do you buy shapewear comfortable enough to wear on a daily basis?

Well there are several key questions to ask yourself:

*What is the fabric content of the control garment that you want to buy?

*What part of your figure are you trying to correct or enhance?

*What you are going to wear over your new body shaper?

Lets start with fabric content. Fabric content is probably the most important aspect of any garment. In the case of shapewear comfortable enough to wear daily, the garment must shape your body, but still allow you to breathe. The secret to comfortable shapewear is an intricate balance between Lycra in combination with another fabric that is knit and stretches like nylon or even cotton. Lycra will give you the smoothing effect while the stretch fabric will allow you to breathe. Look for reasonably high Lycra content - 10% or more if you are searching for a bottom, anything less is simply not going to do the job. If you are searching for a top like a control camisole, for instance, as little as 5% Lycra can do wonders.

The part of the body you are trying to correct or enhance is also key in finding shapewear comfortable enough for daily wear.

What you want to enhance or camouflage is really quite related to what we just learned about fabric. Ideally if you are searching for a control camisole, you will most probably have the most comfort with cotton/Lycra knit blend of 90-95% cotton & 5 - 10% Lycra. A shoulder pad camisole can in cotton/Lycra is very comfortable and can correct a number of figure flaws - it can even make you look a little bit taller!

A shoulder pad bra is the perfect comfortable shapewear solution for the pear-shaped body type. Most of us have to wear a bra every day anyway — you might as well solve a figure issue at the same time. Did you know that wearing shoulder pads can make you look up to 1 inch taller and up to 10 pounds thinner? Well they can — the eye reads from left to right, just the way we read a book. The ‘illusion’ of broader shoulders that balance the hip ‘trick’ the eye into seeing a taller, thinner silhouette. Fabulous!

For control bottoms, Nylon/Lycra usually is the preferred fabric for the bottom half the body. Nylon gives the bottom half the ‘oomph’ & ‘lift’ that it needs. Once again remember to look for 10% Lycra for your bottoms to give you support and comfort.

What you are going to wear your new body shaper with is key to your purchase.
If you are wearing your shaping camisole under a dress, keep the neckline of the dress in mind. It sounds so simple, but getting comfort that controls and works for your outfit can be challenging. If you are searching for a body-shaping bottom to wear under a skirt, you may be interested in the purchase of a control half-slip. If you are a very active person or have the habit of fidgeting with your clothes, a better choice would be a control short. Both panty styles and long leg briefs are available. Both styles can work wonders for you depending on what you are wearing. For longer leg briefs, a leg length of at least half way down the thigh is a good choice, perhaps with a stretch lace trim for comfort (and of course prettiness) would work well. Shape wear can be pretty so don’t settle for a battle-ax corset!

Finding shapewear comfortable enough to wear every day can be a fashion challenge. Remember to look for the right fabrics for the right part of the body, know what you what part of your figure you want to enhance or camouflage and keep in mind what outfit you are going your new body shaper under. If you keep these three things in mind, you will never again have to ask yourself the question: Is shapewear comfortable?

Lovely, very comfortable and light 5
Much more comfortable than toe post sandals like Birkenstock Gizeh. Can hardly feel the straps at the toes, therefore does not cut into the toes when walking. Lovely design similar to the Birkenstock Cozumel but cost less. I bought the polar blue pair. Lovely pale blue with silver flower motifs, subtle but beautiful. The straps are less chunky therefore more feminine and making the feet feel so light when wearing the sandals. Good buy.

Most comfortable shoes ever!5
Great comfort and support, even for flat and wide feet (like mine). I bought two different sandals and am extremely happy with them. I have found myself forgetting to take them off :)

Bliss on the feet.5
These are really fab on the feet, really comfy, and already noticed my knees and hips are less sore because my posture is better. A superb buy at under £20, and like the other reviewer, if I could afford it, would buy them in every colour.

Join the club!5
Everyone raves about them but I wasn’t so sure. I ordered them here as they are such a good price and I’m SO glad I did. They haven’t left my feet since they arrived! I’ve joined the club and am looking for my next pair. So comfy, so cool.
I’d suggest buying a size smaller than you would normally wear as they come up big. Delivery was quicker than stated. Buy some now! Tell all your friends.

fab footwear5
I have a regular pair of ‘Birkenstocks’ which I love and wear every day. I saw these at a bargain price and had to order some. They are just as beautiful in real life as they are on the picture! If you haven’t worn them before, they take some getting used to as the soles are moulded, but it is worth the effort.

Great shoes at a great price5
I’ve ben thinking of getting some of these for a while and when I saw the price they were on amazon I couldn’t resist!
These are possibly one of the most comfy pairs of shoes I own, the way the sole is moulded really supposrts your feet and I can wear them for hours, they look pretty good too!

Perfect Olympic Toy Souvenir5
Beautiful, colorful, and very well made. Packaging is also well done. Didn’t want to open it. Am going to purchase another one and retain unopened as a 2008 Olympic momento. Grand-daughter, who is five years old, LOVES it.

Found On Line (could not find in stores)!!!5
Our daughter (in Kindergarten) was made aware of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Teddy Bear Mascots after seeing a friend with one of the mascots from a set in school. Unfortunately, her friend had her set purchased in either Hong Kong or Mainland China by her dad during a business trip there. We purchased them on line after making unsuccessfuly attempts to find them locally. You’ll find disparity in my rating between “fun,” “educational,” “durability,” and “overall” categories but these Mascots were purchased to own unique Teddy Bears with historical relevance rather than for their fun factor or educational value (actually, if you dig deeper, you’ll find historical and therefore educationals relevance behind these characters). I know that when we find these high quality well made toys tucked away in the future, we’ll immediately recognize them as the “Official Beijing 2008 Olympic Teddy Bear Mascots.” So I wouldn’t be surprised if these are sold in the future as collectors’ items for more than their current face value but for us, they’ll just be a part of our daughter’s Teddy collection…
