Suspender Tights vs Over Knee boots












I personally think over the knee socks look amazing on slender legs. But, I have never seen these suspender tights. Apparently, they're pretty popular in the blogosphere. I personally think the suspender tights / faux garter tights are a bit more risque than over the knee socks. What do you think?

Some Random Asian Eye Makeup Tutorials!


What I thought was most unique was how many different ways they can do eyes! Click on the image to see it in full size!
I think these scans are among the best I've seen for eye makeup. Because typically, they don't give you as many alternative ways to apply color and eyeliner!

Without Makeup, With Makeup

One of the most important skills for a woman to have nowadays: Makeup...




I really think photos like the above are kind of unfair...I mean they took just about the most unflattering picture they could find as the before photo!














The next few are ridiculous for one reason. I hate it when I see a before makeup shot compared with not only makeup but also super photoshop. That's just not fair, because photoshop is capable of anything LITERALLY... Like the ones below. What's worse are the online readers that seem to believe that it was only makeup that resulted in the "after" look!
The below are makeup+photoshop:

Obviously, this is ridiculous.. But, there's all these haters online saying that makeup is MAGIC. No, no... no amount of makeup or even surgery will make such drastic changes!

Top 5 Favorite Fashion Items for 2010

I decided to do a list of my top five favorite fashion items to celebrate 2010. Here they are in no particular order:

1. Abercrombie and Fitch Mini Skirts
Abercrombie and Fitch mini skirts are generally very well made of high quality durable fabrics, attention to detail, and lining. Not only this, but they tend to be the perfect length for those who want to show off their legs. I also love the fact that most of them are so low waisted to show off slim waistlines. Love these with tight shirts! Can't wait for summer to wear these again!

2. Nude Pumps
I searched high and low for the perfect pair of nude pumps for over 6 months! It was quite challenging to find very high heeled nude pumps that were comfortable, stylish and cost effective. My final choice is the slingback open toed Guess Aero, located right above. Found them for $39.99 at Marshalls. Online, cheapest price is $89.
If you like the closed toe version, here is the Guess Rapine, also price at $89 online.
Originally, I was going to purchase the Aldo moos. These also have 4.5 inch heels, but unfortunately, Aldo's does not carry half sizes and did not work out. Currently on sale at Amazon and aldoshoes.com for $41.99 with free shipping.

3. Paige Jeans
Paige jeans are the only jeans I buy now. Because of my size, these are the only jeans that fit me. They run slim in the thighs and waist compared to most other jeans which is perfect for me.
Plus, they never stretch out, super high quality and extremely flattering on!
Above is the Pico design which is one of my favorites.

4. Voda Bikini
I LOVE LOVE bikinis. And, vodaswim.com makes a great bikini! The top is hard with very little padding. Don't really care for padding especially in swimsuits, but hate just a thin piece of fabric as it tends to show when you're cold...
The stiffness of the top really makes the chest good looking, if you know what I mean...

5. Herve Leger Dresses



Currently, I have 7 Herve Leger dresses. These tight bandage dresses show off all your curves! The pink reversible front zip has to be my favorite. First, it's like 2 dresses in one, as this one can be worn with the back as the front. Unfortunately, due to the size of my chest and ribcage, I have not figured out how to wear it with the zipper in the front. But, I will figure out a way! Anyway, it looks amazing with the back at the front as a high neck mini too!

Correct Fitting Bra

Above: Example of bad fitting bra
Bra that fits!

I recently discovered a bra that fits amazing. For the first time in my life, the band that goes around the rib cage fits snugly and my back pain has been alleviated. The straps never fall down and things are UP if you know what I mean.

They say 85% of women wear the wrong size bra. And, I was one of those that wore a too large band with a too small cup. In other words, I was just using a bra as a fancy nipple covering. :)
Part of the reason was because it's terribly difficult to find a small band size with a large cup size. And, on top of that, have it fit perfect, and not create odd shapes.

The brand of bra that I will probably wear from this day forward is Bradelis. Extremely supportive and flattering to your body shape. These bras are very well known in Asia for keeping your girls perky for life.
www.bradelisny.com/shop

Bradelis, has two shops, one in NY and one in CA. They specialized in custom sized bras that provide superior support. They also carry a WIDE range of sizes. Good for dainty girls all the way to HUGE boobs (if I'm allowed to say that). lol
If you are lucky enough to live near one of their stores, schedule a complimentary fitting. I will envy you.

They also have measurement guides on their site to determine your correct size.

These are not my photos. Photos are courtesy of Bradelis.

Beautiful I Phone Covers





I found just about the prettiest, girliest i-phone covers out there. The source was ebay for about $3.50 a piece, SHIPPING included.

The quality is fantastic. They have a slightly rubbery texture but is a hard plastic. But, best of all, the cover just looks very pretty. So far, I have not seen one at a physical retailer that I like better.

The bottom one is the one I have on my phone right now. It's more impressive in person too! There are many different designs like this to choose from. These are just 3 examples.

Just go to ebay and search : girl i-phone cover
