Plus size fashion

March 11th, 2009

By Jasmine Wilson

 

We all have the right for looking great. Plus size fashion can look great, and also be on a low budget. Most of us (including me) do not look like super-model. We have the need to dress every day for work, sport, and going out on the evenings. In all those cases we want to look good. Even if someone is not so thin, she can look good with the right style.

 

Plus size fashion can be adjusted for your needs. Women can be beautiful, thin or not. The secret is in the style and fashion. There are many tips for dressing and having a great style.

 

Remember that style is a combination of dressing, accessories, hair and makeup. Having accessories like bags, hats, earrings and so on can really change your look. Of course, style is also the haircut style.

Investing in the stock market

March 11th, 2009

By Jerry Miller

Many times I am being asked this question: How to begin investing in the stock market. The stock market is not for everyone. Investing in the stock market requires knowledge and experience. I see many people invest when the market is up. They feel they know what the stock will do, because they have a “feeling”. Investing in the stock market is not about “feelings”. It is more business decision. One should understand in a deeper sense why one stock is better than the other. It is essential to have the ability to analyze the company of the stock, and to see if the current price is attractive.

The majority of the people do not have an understanding of the market. They are buying stock when the prices are high, and sell when the price is low. In order to succeed when investing in the stock market, you should see the trends for the longer periods of time. If you take the long time perspective, you can invest for the long run, when the price is low and attractive, and sell, after a long period of time, when the price is high.

As any expertise, you should understand it before doing it. It is recommended to do try-and-error on low sums of money, in order to learn. The most important thing is to understand that investing should be based on rational analysis, and not feelings.

Cute love quotes

February 24th, 2009

By Eleanor Harper

 

I love quotes in general, and I really love cute love quotes. I feel that a cute quote or some cute love quotes can capture some of the essence of the most wonderful feeling - the feeling of love. When I want to get in the mood of love, I just take a look at some of those cute love quotes.

 

“Where there is love, distance doesn’t matter” - For me, it is simply tells us that love is a bridge across distance. It is not affected by how far we are from each other, but rather our feeling to one another.

 

 

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies” (Aristotle) - This is so true, in a romantic love, we are just as two bodies, but one single soul.

 

“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving” (Amy Carmichael) - Love is about giving the other person. The giving is what makes us better.

  

Ghandi, who was probably the major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. He commited his life for finding the esseance of truth, and advocated that others do the same. This great follower of truth said this statement about love:

“Love never claims, it ever gives”. Ghandi reminds us that love is not at all about taking, and all about giving. The joy and happiness we have in love is when giving to others.

 

And last quote is “Where there is the greatest love, there are always miracles” (Willa Cather) - Love is the miracle of out lives. The best thing we can experience.

  

I wish us all to have love abundance in out lives.  We all can enrich our lives with those cute love quotes, and have a smile when reading some of them from time to time.

Stock market today

February 15th, 2009

By Jerry Miller

So, how is the stock market today? Going up? Going down?
When I just started learning about the stock market a few years ago, I was sure I have to track its ups and downs every day.

These days, everybody talks about the stock market. For the last year, it was one of the biggest issues.

If you really want to know more about the stock market, you have to take the time and study it carefully. It is not recomended to start investing money immediatly. The first steps should be learning.

Where can you learn about the stock market? you should go to online websites, read books, and maybe even go to an investing course. It is better to hear several diffrent approches, and choosing the one that is right for you.

There is a nice website with recomended list of books. It should be a good start for reading about the stock market: investing books.

I think that the more long-term perspective is better is the stock market. The day-tradeding is very difficult, and most of time couse you lose more money than earning it.

Final word is - go learn before you invest.

Fashion & Accessories

February 9th, 2009

By Jasmine Wilson

What is fashion & accessories anyway? For me, is usually the latest style in clothes. Being in fashion means being in style. Most of all it is being well dressed. But the clothing is never the end of the story. There are accessories. So there are clothing that are not part of your main clothing. It is an important addition to your overall style. Accessories are making the finish for the general look.

What kind of accessories I like? Belts is definitely one of my favorite. I have so many different styles of belts. I really love hats, but I don’t usually use it. I love to see it on other people, especially when it added character to their general look.

There are several others that I use almost daily:
· Scarves (on the winters, of course)
· Sunglasses (in the summer, of course)
· Watches – all kinds of them.
· Handbags – this is probably can have a different post dedicated for it.
· Bags – same as handbags – I just love it.

Accessories should make you feel comfortable. Of course you should make sure that they match to the clothing. Being good at fashion and accessories sometimes means that you should not follow the trend, but finding your own style. Sometimes, just adding earrings, rings or bracelets can change the look in a significant way.

Fashion and Vintage

February 4th, 2009

Post by Jasmine Wilson

Let’s talk about fashion and vintage. I don’t know about you, but I just LOVE vintage fashion. Fashion and vintage goes hand in hand. I love the feel of it, and the sense of how things used to be in the old days.

So what are my favorite vintage fashion stuff?
· Vintage Belts
· Vintage Hats
· Vintage Purses and bags
· Vintage Coats and Overcoats

What is Vintage for you? I think that the best way of looking at it is  ”using the old - in a new way”.  It is old stuff, but it is being used in modern and actual way.  So the feeling is not at all old, but actually refreshing.

Look at this lovely blue and red dress. This look is so classic (Thanks for Digital Sophia for the picture).

Currently there is a trend that going on for several seasons now. Many designers chooses to focus on vintage inspired dresses.

I love the vintage stuff because I feel it is like preserving the past. But it is more than that, it is using the old in our modern day-to-day life.  So it gives the modern lifestyle the unique vintage look.

I found a good post for lovers of vintage clothing and fashion. Realy gret stuff there. In this post, the writer tells us about how the Spring/Summer 2009 collection came from the style of the past. She also talks about how the models these days looks like they don’t eat: “please buy your model a meal….or two”. You can read more about it here  dear-blumarine.

So we have talked about some vintage fashion, what I love in it and why. But I really wonder – do YOU like (love? hate?) vintage? How does it make you feel?
