Summer is the time to take a break. You know. Kick back your heels, raise your feet on a stool and relax. Time to loosen up and go for breezy comfort.

There is no need to forgo your stylish image. These 5 comfortable pieces let you stay in style. At the same time, they offer your great mileage.

1. A comfortable white shirt.
Get a men’s style white shirt and wear it with khakis, jeans or a pencil skirt. That roomy classic goes with virtually everything in your wardrobe. For that sultry siren look, you could secure the shirt under your bust with a knot instead of buttoning it up. Or you could wear it as a super comfortable sleep shirt.
You could get a new white shirt from the stores or you could raid your guy’s wardrobe for a gorgeous white shirt.

2. A pair of jeans.
If you fit into your favourite pair, that would do for summer. Nothing beats your favourite, broken in jeans when it comes to comfort. If your jeans are a tad too tight, go get yourself a new pair that fits. Well fitting clothing look better and make you look slimmer than too tight clothes.

3. Bright, roomy, summer dress
A loose fitting dress in a bright color is a hot look every summer. This is especially evident for Spring/Summer 2008 if you watch the designer fashion shows. One thing about the tent dress or roomy, loose fitting clothes that do not define your waist is that unless you are really thin, you would look fatter in them. Modify the look by adding a sash or belt around your waist to define your figure. That way, you’ll look amazing.

4. Tank Tops
With summer’s scorching heat, who needs sleeves? A sunblock would protect your skin so you can bare your arms in a breezy, sexy, tank top.

5. Skorts
That’s a cross between a miniskirt and shorts which are pretty hot right now. Like both shorts and miniskirts, you would flaunt your legs in them and by highlighting your legs, you make them look longer. Skorts offer you the feminine look of a very short skirt without the risk of wardrobe malfunction should you bend over.

Romans were the first to wear a garment which has a somewhat resemblance to modern day underwear. They used to call it subligaculum. It might be of interest to note that the Egyptians and the Greeks never wore underwear at all!

Long baggy drawers called ?braies? made their appearance in Europe in the 13th century. Those who were better off wore chausses over the braies to cover their legs. Modifications of braises and chausses went on all the while and by the time Renaissance found its way in Europe, braises had become shorter and more form fitting and chausses began to look more like modern day hoses.

Braises had codpieces which allowed men to urinate without removing them completely. Over time people started using thicker and thicker codpieces for greater protection and to secure their modesty.

Henry VIII of England however gave these codpieces a revolutionary twist. He started using a heavily padded, bizarre shaped codpiece not only to highlight the shape of his private parts but also to use this part of the garment as a pocket to carry odd small bits of essential items! It became a rage in the fashion world during those times and carried on till the end of the 16th century.

In the 1930?s a quite revolution took place!

Easy elastic bands were innovated and companies such as Jockey and Hanes began selling underpants with elastic bands and called them boxer shorts since they resembled the gear worn by professional boxers.

The word underpants also made a triumphant entry into English dictionary.

With the advent Jockey Y-vent briefs in 1934 underpants went through a metamorphosis. For the first time an easy to use diagonal vent was introduced instead of flaps and codpieces. Two years later, ?kangaroo pouch? underwear which had a horizontal vent arrived in the market but could not compete with the diagonal vent types which were preferred because of their ease of use.

World War II witnessed another quantum leap in the underwear world. For the first time the soldiers were issued colored underwears as the white ones were too conspicuous when hung out to dry! Thus began the era of multihued undergarments.

The end of the War saw the discovery of a preshrinking technique called sanforization. Before this people had to buy underwear one size larger to allow for shrinkage during washing!
1947 saw the introduction of another fabric called nylon tricot and the 50s and 60s saw a sea change in how the underwear was perceived. Rainbows rained on under garments and prints and color combinations became bold and wild. Another new fabric called Lycra Cotton saw the light of the day in 1960.

Underwears started become smaller and tighter!

The 1970s and 1980s saw the entry of designer labels such as Calvin Klein, Sauvage, Ron Chereskin, and Tommy Hilfiger and underwears became a fashion and a fun item. Briefs became briefer, bolder and newer fabrics were introduced. About the same time, use of sex as the overriding theme became prevalent in all the advertising campaigns.

This overemphasis on sex saw a queer trend catch on since the mid-90s ? that of not wearing any underwear at all! Underwear was perceived as the final barrier to sex, and not wearing underwear was a turn on for many. This practice of freeballing (freebuffing, in case of females) or going commando is practiced by both the sexes and is a very ?in? thing now a days

Dress for a summer event

What could be more fun than a party with your best friends from high school at the end of the year when flowers are in bloom and the weather is warm? Take advantage of early summer weather by opting for a Short Chiffon Dress with cool spaghetti straps. Summer dresses are tasteful and very pretty; they are cut from less material than a full length gown, and often cost less.

Better Shop Around

Shopping online can be a gift unto itself. Online stores tend to have a wider variety and many do not need to consider overheads normal shops deal with, and they can pass these savings onto their customers. This is one way to find a dress that is low cost and wont dent the budget. Shopping online can also save a lot of running around during your free time. You are almost assured that you will find what you are looking for because of the variety of styles available and the amount of online stores on the internet. You may even be able to find some online distributors in your own town which will cut down the costs of postage and packaging. Picking your prom gown up personally may even be a possibility, depending upon where you live.

Many people worry about purchasing a gown online, but most dresses can be sent back for alterations. Sizes are very well documented. It really is not much different to buying one ?off the peg? in a local store.

Look for wedding dress sites as well. These sites often have discounts as well as great sales on their dress lines and you will be able to find a dress that is suited to your style, color choice as well as your budget. Stores that do not specialize in prom gowns can carry styles that nobody else has and the price of the dress doesn?t escalate because of what the dress is intended for. These dresses can be quite stunning on prom night; they do not necessarily have to be purchased from a prom gown site.

If you know how to sew, or know someone who does, this is a great way of getting a unique dress modeled after the latest fashion for a fraction of the price. It is as easy as browsing and selecting a prom gown pattern that is in keeping with high end, designer fashion, or design your own in the exact color and fabric you want. You can have a gown which is one of a kind, made to fit you like glove.

You may also consider hiring a dress for the night, or you may consider buying one second hand either through classified ads or online auctions as well as shops which specialize in this. Buying this way can give you the benefit of designer labels at a fraction of their original price and you may even find one that has never been worn.

Consider your budget

Keep in mind that your prom gown is not the only item you need to spend money on, there are other items like shoes, a matching purse and costume jewelry which can help you complete your look. Getting your hair done on the day of the event as well as your make-up are other necessities that should be taken into consideration when budgeting prom night. Keep in mind that your accessories can cost as much, even more, than your prom gown. Set a budget for the prom and try not to exceed that amount, and be sure to take into account all the items that you need to pay for.

If possible, start saving a few months before the event, or even shop around early and buy your prom dress so that you get a foot in the door before prices escalate, this can be a reasonable way to save money. Don?t be worried that your dress will be out of date. Dress styles do not generally change in the space of a few short months, and even if you buy your gown six months in advance from a store which sells them year round, your gown will still be spectacular on the night

Give yourself enough time to find a dress and you should find one that will be as memorable as the evening itself. It is also a good idea to give yourself six months of prior savings so that you will have enough to cover all your expenses comfortably with as little stress as possible. Arriving at the prom in a gown that you love and fell comfortable in will help you enjoy the night to the greatest extent.

 

Ask any woman and you will perhaps get an idea how close to the heart of a woman is lingerie. Lingerie can go a long way in boosting the sex life of a woman. And why only women? Men to have their own reasons for fascination towards exotic looking lingerie. Any man would admit of the difference that the mere sight of their women dressed in seductive looking lingerie makes. Just that sight can be tantamount to a good deal of foreplay. Therefore, it pays well to have some fair idea about the wholesale lingerie. So, what is a wholesale lingerie? Let us know about it.

The wholesale lingerie is nothing different from any regular lingerie. What differentiates the wholesale lingerie from others is the price at which it comes. What the lingerie wholesaler does is tag the lingerie items with prices much lower than the other similar kinds of lingerie. The discount that the lingerie wholesaler offers may vary greatly ? it can be a very small discount or the discount may also, at times, be quite large. A number of factors decide whether the wholesale lingerie will bear a big discount. For instance, material of the lingerie, the store size, or the lingerie wholesaler decide what amount of discount will be offered. The wholesale lingerie may include several items that include garter belts, brassiere, camisoles, gowns, panties, and so on.

Your selection of the wholesale lingerie also often depends on the kind of lingerie boutique you visit. One of the good things about the idea of wholesale lingerie is that you get a set of items that you can wear all at a time. Sometimes, the lingerie wholesaler offer wholesale lingerie that consists of a pack of similar lingerie. There can also be sets where different items are there, but they are all made of similar material.

It is not always about the individual lingerie wholesaler. Often several lingerie manufacturing companies also offer these wholesale lingerie all the year round. In that case, however, your choice for selection comes down as such companies put less number of items under the category of wholesale lingerie. One reason for offering the wholesale on lingerie is definitely promotion of the lingerie store. A discount on lingerie items, quite naturally, become a craze with women customers and that does loads of promotion for a store still at its infancy. Many a times, it is also seen that the lingerie wholesaler offer such discounts as those lingerie items have been with them for quite a long time. Having said that, it does not mean that the wholesale lingerie will be of poorer quality. Only that the stores want to sell off the old stocks.

Several lingerie wholesaler actually run boutiques and they offer wholesale lingerie as a part of their period of major sales. Whatever the reason be behind such sale, you, as a customer, can profit highly by collecting your favorite lingerie at unbelievably low prices. Just be a little careful and check out whether there is a any defect in the product you are zeroing in on.

 

It is a new year and a time to start fresh and make those New Year’s resolutions stick. If you are like many, one of your resolutions is to get back into shape. By the time spring comes, this resolution will have changed into “getting in shape for swimsuit season. This Betsey Johnson has made things a bit easier (or maybe harder) by already revealing their new lines of women’s swimsuit for the 2010 season and much of what they have to offer is quite stunning and some of it not so much.
The Good
When Betsey Johnson makes something that works, it usually is great. The same is for their Leopard-print Wrap bikini from the swimwear line. When you first see it, you may think that it is a halter top bikinis. However it is an intriguing wrap that starts in the back, wraps around the front, and ties behind the neck. Unlike other bikinis of a similar design, it does not appear that the person is getting a wedgie. The effect is sleek and sexy and wearers are certain to have a lot of fun with it.
The Weird
The first is the Red Carter Slashed one-piece. This one is not necessarily as sexy as the others but the it is an eye catcher and sure to be talked about, even just to comment on how bizarre it looks. This suit is a normal on one-piece swimsuit with one strap instead of two. That is not abnormal. What makes it a head turner is is that it features “slashes” across the front and sides, all the way up to the shoulder. The designers may have been aiming for “cute” by making it semi revealing, but in the end it looks like the wearer was mauled by a large cat.
Sounded Better at the time?
A quick survey of the new Betsey Johnson swimwear, one sees numerous interesting designs. One of these, in the category of Little Black Swimsuits, is the Topless Bikini. Yes, the the Topless bikini and not the topless bikini model. What is intriguing about this swimsuit, in addition to its design, why they thought that it was necessary or would sell. After all going topless while at the beach is nothing new. If they had made something that was cute, they could have gotten away with it, but no. The swimsuit features a cute bottom with a section of fabric in the front that starts out wide and tapers into two cords that tie at the neck. It would not be so bad if it did not look like the person was getting a front wedgie or wearing an odd diaper. Neither of these are sexy. Ironically enough, the topless bikini comes with a removable bandeau top.

I broke my foot a year ago. Most people can get around on crutches when this happens, but I am just not coordinated enough. I knew that I was going to be home for a while since my boss allows me to work from my home office when I want. I knew I could get groceries delivered, and I could even have physical therapy right in my apartment. The only thing I would end up missing was my monthly hair appointment, but that turned out to be a non-factor too when I found out about mobile hair services.

I honestly never knew that I could get a professional hair stylist to come to my house on a regular basis and do my hair. Even though I was not going out anywhere, I still had people coming to my apartment on a regular basis. I wanted to look as good as possible. I was able to dress myself just fine, and I could style my hair okay enough as long as I was still getting my regular cuts done. Finding out that a stylist would come to my apartment was a game changer not only for when I broke my foot but even after I fully recuperated from it too.

I had no intention of continuing on with the mobile stylist once I was able to get out again, but that changed once I had my second appointment with her. She is very easy going and so friendly, and she does my hair better than anyone else ever has. I like that she gives me suggestions and shows me how it can look in different styles. She is not in a hurry, which is the best thing ever. I have learned a lot about my hair in the last year, and I have also made a very good friend!

 

Everyone wants a safe working environment? The safety of workers is always a great concern to companies and these companies will try what they can to safeguard their workers. Important steps will be put in place to ensure the work place is conducive to safety for the workers. Most of the companies develop rules and regulations to remind workers the importance of maintaining a safe work environment.

The most important factor to note is that your own personal cautiousness and common sense is one of the keys to safety at the work place. The employee relationship with the corporation in the work place is another factor in ensuring that their safety is guaranteed. Besides other provisions, you must always be on the forefront to remember on how safe you are while performing your duties.

Other than your own sensitiveness and the rules available to help in maintaining work safety, protective clothing must be provided and you are required to wear it and take care to avoid injury.

Shoes are one of the important pieces of safety equipment that must be provided to workers to protect them from feet injuries. Not all jobs require safety shoes but where it?s imperative for you to wear them, you must observe the rules and regulations. You must always know which type of shoes offer the best comfort and do not cause foot injuries while working.

Good Safety Shoes in the Work Have These Qualities
The inside of the shoes should be the right size, meaning not too tight on the foot or too large where any discomfort is caused during the performance of work. The inner shoe should be straight and uniform from the rear of the shoe to the big toe. This gives the foot allowance to withstand pressure as you work.

The shoe must hold or grip your foot firmly. This will prevent frequent fall offs and imminent danger of injury to the foot from exposure. The shoe must allow free movement of the toes. Safety shoes that are too tight cause blisters to develop, making for discomfort while working. These types of injuries are not always noticed right away, thus it?s important to wear properly fitting shoes.

Good safety shoes should have fastening loops in the instep basically to prevent the risk of slipping when working. Falling may cause serious injuries also. You must ensure the shoe is well laced and tightened so that it does not cause you to trip or fall during work.

A good safety shoe should have a relatively low base with its heels wide enough to hold the ground. This is one condition you must not forget. Shoes that cannot hold the ground well enough are not recommended. Always go for recommended flat shoes.

As you strive to maintain a safe work place especially for your feet, you remember the importance of your own safety and that of your fellow workers. Observing safety rules saves the company from compensating its injured staff and a lot more liabilities which lie in the workplace.
