			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How To Choose A Short Hair Style</p>
<p>Short hair styles are a big change for any girl that&#8217;s never done it before, many love the style while others feel like they can&#8217;t pull it off, but with more and more styles popping up all the time it&#8217;s becoming much more common and shows that with all the different styles there is one for complimenting any and every frame.</p>
<p>Short Hair Care</p>
<p>Short hair care depends a great deal on short hair products such as shampoo, conditioner, hair vitamins that will make you hair healthy, shiny and stylish. You should choose the right short hair product taking into account your hair type.</p>
<p>What a lot of women don&#8217;t expect when changing to a short hair style is the difference in how they need to take care of it. Shorter hair gets oily much quicker than longer hair does, that can be a problem as it could potentially lead to dandruff. So doing things like trying different shampoos that help might be something to expect. You&#8217;ll want your hair cut at least every 6 weeks, if nothing else just a trim to get rid of dead ends, if you do have dead ends it&#8217;s very important to try and stay out of direct sunlight. If you have thinner hair be sure to use a shampoo with protein in it as well as a thick conditioner. People with curly hair will want to be sure and use products with extra moisture, this will help fight any frizzing.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to experiment, have fun with your look and express yourself! That&#8217;s the best way to find a look that you truly love and is absolutely perfect for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The three main types of methods for T-Shirt printing are screen printing, heat transfer, and direct to garment. The first type of method is screen printing. By far the most popular method and also one of the easiest mainly because it requires the least amount of tools to accomplish. When screen printing, a woven mesh is used and a design in the form of a stencil is placed on top of the mesh, which then resembles a screen. After this, the blank T-Shirt is placed on a table underneath the screen. Then, the screen is placed on top of the shirt and is pressed down with force while a squeegee or roller is moved over the top of the screen which forces the ink onto the shirt to create the design. This method is recommended when the volume of printing to be done is mid to large, as it is fast and economical.</p>
<p>Another common method used for T-Shirt printing is heat transfer. This is a more complicated process but allows for more extensive designs and will ensure the final design is much clearer and crisper than a simple screen printed shirt. First the design needs to be printed using the right combination of ink, printer and paper. The design is placed upon the shirt and a type of heat source is then used to transfer the ink onto the shirt, which then dries the ink quickly and ensures it sticks for good. The most common tool used for the heat source is a heat press, on a production environment or a <a href="http://www.patch9.com/">clothes iron</a> for a handmade product. This method is recommended when the volume of printing to be done is low to mid, as it is slower and not so economical.</p>
<p>The final main method for creating <a href="http://www.89wear.com/">T-Shirt designs</a> is DTG, or direct to garment. This is the newest type of printing, and slowly but surely has become a method used by many major manufacturers of T-Shirts, mainly because it offers the best picture and can allow for a variety of designs. The shirt is placed in a type of ink jet printer and the design is then laser-printed into the T-Shirt, creating a crisp and clear image. Volume will depend on type of DTG printer used, with the smallest one having only one head. This method is recommended for any volume of printing, speed and cost will depend on the DTG printer used.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mens suits carry numerous impressions. The salesman says the color looks good and the man buying the suit can not find anything wrong with it. The problem here is that most men do not know what colors compliment their complexion, and instead of choosing a color that enhances their looks they choose a color that simply fits in. Suit can be very expensive. It is therefore necessary that you know how to choose quality suit.</p>
<p>Choosing the best mens suits may not be as easy as you think. You have to choose the suit that has the right bodice for you and does not wrinkle easily; at the same time, affordable to your pockets. There are many factors that you should consider in buying suits: the size, cut, color, material and the design.</p>
<p>Material. Suits are made in a variety of fabrics from linen, wool, polyester, cotton, cashmere and even silk. The best suits are wool suits. Wool fits well and does not lose its shape when worn. Cotton and polyester on the other hand makes an excellent light-weight suit however they are the less durable type.</p>
<p>Color. The main colors used for suits are grey, black, light grey, dark grey, and navy, either with or without patterns. In summer, lighter shades, such as tan or cream, are in style. For less business setting, brown and olive can be used.</p>
<p>The design. The design of the suit depends largely on the details of the wardrobe. It can be single-breasted or double-breasted type. Another type of its design is how it is buttoned. There are certain rules of wearing these types of suits. As an example, double-breasted suit coats should always be kept buttoned. When in such case you need to unbutton it, the top one need to be fastened. On the other hand, single-breasted suit coats can be fastened or not. However there can be some exception especially those jackets with unusual cuts.</p>
<p>The size. The size of the suit depends on the fit on your body. The wardrobe should be fitted to the body but loose enough for comfort. Men can opt to have the suit coat tailored however, it is more convenient to buy at the store since stores nowadays have different sizes which buyers can choose from.</p>
<p>When you are then able to buy the suit, you can decide then on what accessories do you want to pair it with. You can try working with neckties or handkerchiefs in the upper welt pocket. Suits can be worn over dress shirts like a long sleeve, full-length buttoned opening down the front, and a collar. In the modern times, suits can also be paired with an Oxford shirt.</p>
<p>These are the basic factors that you should consider in choosing the mens suits. The best thing that you can do is to have them fitted to you so you will know if you are comfortable with it.</p>
<p><a href="http//:www.propellernet.co.uk/">M&#038;S</a> have a superb selection of <a href="http//:www.propellernet.co.uk/">men&#8217;s suits</a> available in a wide range of styles and sizes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the coming of the new year, also comes new trends in fashion and as we say good-bye to all that was in 2010 (a lot of hot pants, knee high socks, lace, leather and cut out clothing) we now say hello to the fashion trends and tips for 2011. Below are our top 10 tips for best fashion advice that can be given to anyone during any time of the year.</p>
<p>1. Choose the clothes that suit your body<br />
No matter what trendsetting or fashion forward clothing you purchase if it will not compliment your body-then you&#8217;d better put it back on the store rack!</p>
<p>2. On Jewelry: Less is not always more<br />
(For Men) You must not over accessorize, do not wear more than 3 pieces of jewelry. Silver is becoming popular these days so you might want to invest.<br />
(For Women) Less is not always more especially during the summer, you can accessorize you summer outfits with big and bold accessories. Wooden beads and citrus colored bangles are a good sight during the summer.</p>
<p>3. In the winter: Accessorize!<br />
During the cold weather add a little pop of color to the weather, you can accessorize with sweaters and scarves, ensure it matches your outfit though! Try to mix and match things, if you are wearing tight fitting jeans then a big sweater will be a good contrast and will compliment your slender legs.</p>
<p>4. Keep your shoes and belts looking brand new:<br />
Shoes and belts can catch the eye of other people so make sure that you invest in a good pair of shoes and a nice belt and make sure that they are regularly kept clean and shiny &#8211; there&#8217;s nothing worse than a pair of muddy boots combined with a smart dress!</p>
<p>5. If you look the part then you have to smell the part.<br />
There is no use in looking great if you smell something like the cat dragged in. So if you take time and invest in what you will be wearing and what you will look like then make sure that you throw in some good perfume, cologne or after-shave.</p>
<p>6. Skinny jeans are still in!<br />
Yes! Skinny jeans are still in! Especially with Katy Perry singing &#8220;Let you put your hands on me In my skin-tight jeans&#8221;, so don&#8217;t throw out your skinny jeans yet! Nothing is as complimentary as a good pair of high-waisted, ankle exposing, skinny jeans.</p>
<p>7. The Ballerina is on center stage!<br />
With movies like &#8216;The Black Swan&#8217; earning a buzz, ballet-inspired fashion is sure to make its own buzz in the fashion industry. From ballet flats to ensembles inspired from tutus and leotards, we will be seeing a lot of ballerinas this year.</p>
<p>8. Summer Fashion tips:<br />
In the summer be sure to wear loose fitting clothes that are made of natural fabrics and are in light colors, printed kaftan might just be making a wave this year. For a little style and functionality, a wide-brimmed hat will keep those harsh UV rays away and will also keep you looking elegant.</p>
<p>9. Add color in the winter:<br />
Spring colored sweater should add some color during the pale winter. Make sure you wear bright printed winter clothes-just so you won&#8217;t blend in with all the snow.</p>
<p>10. Check online!<br />
For the latest in fashion news and trends, always check online, this is the most updated source of fashion information. Also try to look and see what celebrities are wearing these days. For one thing, everyone and I mean everyone will be looking into what the future princess Kate Middleton will be wearing-so try and see what&#8217;s she&#8217;s wearing and buy it quick before the stores run out!</p>
<p>Many of the items discussed in the article can be found in the boohoo pages of our site where we will keep you posted on the latest trends, fashions and sales.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been dramatic changes in the clothing that women wear on the beach. Once upon a time they had to completely cover themselves if they wanted to go swimming. That changed following the sexual revolution, when it became the widespread view that clothes should accentuate women&#8217;s figures, and this was also true with respect to swimwear. A radical change had occurred, allowing bikini swimwear to become more popular. Little was left to the imagination with these designs. But at the same time, the appropriate swimwear choice could emphasize the best parts of a woman&#8217;s body.</p>
<p>A notable example is the one piece swimsuit. Many women would not want to show their midriffs, such as if it was scarred. In this situation, choosing to wear a one piece swimsuit would cover their bellies. Women who are plus sized would want to wear this style to conceal those parts that they would prefer to hide, and reveal those parts that they would like to show. They can look sexy in such designs.</p>
<p>The bikini is a style that women who are physically fit can wear, if they do not mind revealing their figures and much besides. Consisting of a top piece and a bottom piece, the wearer decides how much or how little they want to cover. A thong is something that a woman who is totally free with her body might wear, since it would expose her buttocks. She would have to be very confident in order to wear such an item, and she should wear it in places where there would be many others who would also wear such swimwear.</p>
<p>A cute design is a tank suit, and it is an excellent choice for playing at the beach. It looks like a scuba diver outfit, only lacking arms and legs, and sometimes having a neckline that is very low.</p>
<p>The miniskirt can be found in skirted swimsuit designs that cannot be worn in public because they are too low. However in a pool or on the beach they would be welcomed. Often they have frills, pleats and folds.</p>
<p>The monokini is a single piece item that is a mix between the one piece and the bikini. Although it consists of a single piece item it has large pieces of material missing from it. The wearer can choose to show whichever body parts she wants to, such as her backs, hips, or midriffs, depending on the design.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we go to watch a movie at the cinema, we rarely stop and think about all that took place behind the scenes to make the movie possible; the same often happens when we are out and about shopping for clothes, we seldom think about the person who actually created the clothes we buy.</p>
<p>Perhaps, some might not think it very useful to know the background of the people designing the clothes we wear, however I find it interesting and intriguing to get to know more and dig a little deep into the fabric. Just like getting to know what inspires a writer to put thoughts and ideas into words, it is fascinating to me to find out the passions and inspirations of those who design and create the beautiful clothes we wear.</p>
<p>That is why I am today taking a closer look at three unique and intriguing plus size fashion designers, in a bid to bring you a little step closer to those designing the awesome plus size fashions we have available on the market nowadays. Knowing &#8216;where your clothes come from&#8217;, like a piece of art, will make you cherish them more.</p>
<p>Yuliya Zeltser of IGIGI</p>
<p>A fashion designer born and raised in Ukraine, Yuliya felt the need to provide full figured women with beautiful clothing, when she saw how hard it was for her own mother to find clothes in her size that made her feel like a gorgeous and chic woman. Through IGIGI Yuliya is now able to provide plus size women with clothes which not only make them feel beautiful, but which also accentuate their figure. Yuliya designed from the heart and is also sometimes inspired from her travels around the world and the United States.</p>
<p>Monif of Monif C. Plus Sizes</p>
<p>A very artistic person at heart, Monif C. saw the need plus size women had for stylish and sexy clothing, and embarked on a mission to satisfy this need, and dare we say, Monif is doing a pretty good job at it! Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Monif is inspired by life and her dreams. Her aim is to provide curvy women with colorful plus size fashion which makes them feel stylish, inspired, luxurious and sexy.</p>
<p>Anna Nicole of Jahqoi</p>
<p>Anna Nicole is a rising star in the pus size fashion scene. Coming from Detroit, Michigan, but currently residing in California, Anna began sewing clothes at the tender age of 12. In June 2004 Anna launched ANR apparel as an online retail store, to give curvy women more choices of plus size clothing. She has recently moved the retail site over the newly renamed Jahqoi site. Jahqoi when spelled correctly means: &#8216;I believe&#8217; in French. Anna&#8217;s passion is contemporary, modern, sassy styles.</p>
<p>It is interesting, getting to know a little more about plus size fashion designers and the inspirations behind the clothes we wear. There is a lot more than fabric to a dress, more which can turn a beautiful dress into a meaningful work of art.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With prom 2010 now a distant memory, young women all over the globe eagerly ponder what styles and colors of prom dresses that 2011 will hold in store for them. Last season, we saw a myriad of vivid colors and a continuation of sassy animal prints. There was also an exploration into even more abstract printed designs, often in bright pastels. Short cocktail dresses continued to gain popularity as well.</p>
<p>So what is around the corner for the prom dress? While some may argue, I am a believer that fashion is a reflection upon society and the prevailing human condition. We all know too well the current economic climate and modern trend towards a cleaner environment. This being said, I believe we will see more dramatic changes in 2011 than we have seen in recent years.</p>
<p>Although it may sound a bit obvious, I think we will see more natural and earthy tones this coming year. And now for this cliche: white will definitely be the new black. Prints will continue to comprise a fair share of collections for their inherent imperfections. There will be a larger selection of lighter and brighter colors.</p>
<p>As technology and life progress, there so will be a progression in mathematics. While innovation in colors is somewhat limited, there is no limit to progress in geometry. Therefore, we will see more movement in areas that allow it, such as the cut of the garment. Short dresses will most likely continue as a popular choice, but be on the lookout for fresh designs.</p>
