Ford Artists have just released a new how to hair video, and this one is all about using headbands. Headbands can be a great everyday look, especially when you need to keep your hair out of your face if it’s windy, you’re cooking, or even if you’re growing out a fringe and need to […]

{More»}I think it’s time to share with you my little beauty secret! As you’ve already guessed from the title of this post, I love mineral makeup. While the more traditional cream liquid makeups give great coverage and have good staying power (especially Revlon’s Colorstay line) they always made me break out the next […]

{More»}The glasses you wear can make a big difference to your overall appearance. I switch between glasses and contact lenses, and when I wear glasses I like a black rectangular shape to channel that sexy librarian look. I choose a thicker full frame, as it hides the edges of the glass (I need really thick glass). You’ll have more options, including nearly invisible frames and thinner edges, if you don’t need as much vision correction.
I didn’t know that you could buy frames online. I took a look at Zenni Optical’s site. They sell eyeglasses online, including frames for your prescription lenses and frames for the sunglass style prescription glasses. This link has lots of comments about shoppers experiences with Zenni Optical. They certainly had a huge range of options. My pick are these, they’re nice and thick and pretty fashionable too. Black is a good colour for glasses as it will tone with any outfit. Of course you could have different frames for each day of the week if you wanted to!
If you wear glasses full-time, having a pair of prescription sunglasses is a lifesaver in the fashion stakes. I’ve even seen some lenses that will change colour depending on the light level, so you don’t need an extra pair of glasses.
I’ve just discovered a fashion radio podcast - Missus Smarty Pants. There’s some great topics being discussed here, including:
Making a good first impression
Quick style updates through alterations
Tattoos as accessories
How to get the most out of end of season sales
Style on a shoestring
You can listen online to the radio show, or do what I do […]
{More»}Do you need a personal loan? The internet can be a place to start looking. If you need an Online Personal Loan there’s an online loan service which offers online approvals and are available nationwide (that means America by the way, sometimes Americans tend to forget that the rest of the world exists!). They do Pay Day Loans which are an emergency loan, borrowing against your next pay check. These can be useful in an emergency, while you make changes to your budgeting system to ensure you don’t get into trouble again. The web site has lots of text information, so make yourself a cup of coffee, get a nice biscuit, and have a thorough read.

My latest discovery is this French Provincial hat in butter yellow and navy blue. This would be perfect for the races or a fancy wedding.
Hats are such a rare item to wear, that when faced with the necessity it’s almost always necessary to get a new one. And it’s so hard to find […]
{More»}When summer comes around again, water is on the mind of every Australian. With permanent water restrictions now in place, to keep our gardens looking green we need to get creative, and become self-sufficient in our water use. But winter is the time to get cracking on installing some Water Tanks so all that lovely rain can be stored to use during summer, instead of running away down the gutter. Did you know that the Australian government is offering a rebate of between $200 and $1000 towards the cost of purchasing and plumbing a rain water tank to retrofit into your home for uses such as toilet flushing, clothes washing and for hot water supply? The Rain Water Tanks Company does, and they can do an online quite to supply your brand new rain water tank. They also offer do it yourself packs, so you can get the tank you need without paying for installation.
This winter it’s all about the long unbroken line, achieved with black opaque stockings or tights and black shoes so there’s no break in the line at your ankle. That way it looks like your legs go on forever!
But some of us are stocking “challenged”. Problems you could be having with your stockings […]
